[She remembers last night as clear as a bell. She talked to Stacy for an hour, told Matthew "maybe" when he called to ask her out for Friday night, did her homework to get Mom off her back, traded put-downs with Daria, then did her hour-long pre-bed beauty routine before she went to sleep. The next morning, she should have woken up at her usual six-thirty AM for her morning beauty routine.

Only it doesn't feel like six-thirty. It's hard to tell out here, which is most definitely not her bedroom. Or her house. Or even Lawndale. And this skimpy white gown is not her cute pajama pants and yellow tank top!]

Is this a joke? It's not very funny. Where are my clothes?! And my makeup, and my hairbrush?

...wait. Are those...wings?! No, it can't be! They're like angel wings...

...oh no. Oh, no, is this...Heaven?! Did I die?! No no no no no, this can't be happening, I can't be dead, Sandi will never forgive me if I miss the Fashion Club's Lipsticks and Lip Balms discussion forum! Oh, everyone's going to be devastated...maybe even Daria will miss me. She'll be even more of a misery chick than before!

Ohhh, someone please tell me this isn't happening!

...oh! A journal...and it's empty. Um, okay. Dear diary, today I woke up dead! This is the worst day of my life!

Thanks! [Just like back home, boys are so willing to do stuff for her. Granted, this one's a little too short for her to consider going out with, but he's adorable!]

[action]

[sketchingideals]

You're welcome! [No offense, Quinn, but he wouldn't go out with you either. Hung up on his might-be-dead girlfriend, after all.] ...so, what's your name?

[action]

[cuteisawayoflife]

[Well, at least there's that squared away!]

Quinn Morgendorffer, from Lawndale.

[action]

[sketchingideals]

Quinn? That's a pretty name. I'm Jeb Parmalee, it's nice to meet you! [Smilesmile.] Lawndale? Is it a nice place?

[action]

[cuteisawayoflife]

Yeah, it's pretty nice! A little boring, but there's a big mall and a really fancy French restaurant! And of course, a beauty salon.

[action]

[sketchingideals]

What's the French restaurant like? [This small talk isn't going so badly... what a relief!]

[action]

[cuteisawayoflife]

The food is really good and the waiters are really foreign. French accents are super hot!

[action]

[sketchingideals]

...they are nice to listen to. [He doesn't mean it in a perverted way, but.]

[action]

[cuteisawayoflife]

Aren't they? Accents in general tend to be pretty hot, though, except hillbilly accents. But hillbillies are creepy all over!

[action]

[sketchingideals]

...I wouldn't say they're all creepy--things like that really depend on the individual.

[action]

[cuteisawayoflife]

All the ones I've met are!

[action]

[sketchingideals]

But that doesn't mean all of them are... right?

[Action]

[cuteisawayoflife]

...well...maybe.

[Action]

[sketchingideals]

[Smiles.]

I think that people can be nice, no matter what "kind" of person they are, or where they grew up.

[Action]

[cuteisawayoflife]

...hmm. I guess so. [Jeb has clearly never met Sandi Griffin.]

[Action]

[sketchingideals]

[Jeb would probably still try to find good traits in her, Quinn.]

Sometimes the kindness is just hard to notice!

[Action]

[cuteisawayoflife]

Yeah, sometimes...

[Action]

[sketchingideals]

...did I offend you? I'm sorry!

[Action]

[cuteisawayoflife]

[Oh God, that face...it's not him, really, she's just thinking about things she'd rather not]

Um no! That just made me think of my, um, cousin...she's really sarcastic and mean but sometimes she can be nice.

[Action]

[sketchingideals]

Oh... [Hmm.] Do you think you'll miss her while you're here, Quinn?

[Action]

[cuteisawayoflife]

...maybe a little. [shrug] I'm sure she won't miss me that much, though.

[Action]

[sketchingideals]

If bet if time passed at home while we're here, she probably would miss you. People can be surprising!

[Action]

[cuteisawayoflife]

Heh, yeah, they sure can. [Stacy would definitely miss her, no doubt about that. Every boy at school, too, even the brainy ones...Tiffany might. Sandi would just be glad to have her gone. Daria...maybe she would. Mom and Dad, too. David...would he miss her? Does he even remember her?]

[Action]

[sketchingideals]

So... what about your friends? What are they like? [Small talk.]

[Action]

[cuteisawayoflife]

They're really cute and popular and fashionable, just like me. [She really doesn't know what to say after that. Sandi's a bitch, but sometimes she acts like she cares? Tiffany's more airheaded than a blimp and impossible to have a real conversation with? Stacy's a neurotic mess and Quinn worries about her more than she lets on?]
