Aliens and Aviators!

Amelia Earhart went missing on this day in 1937. Where did she go? Well, one popular theory is that she was abducted by aliens. This could be true, especially if they were the aliens that allegedly crashed at Roswell on this day in 1947--exactly ten years later! Could this be a coincidence or--okay, yeah, it's most likely a coincidence.

• Daria/Dorian Ch. 15: Summertime Blues, by LadieT (part 5): "'No. I know we really aren't the best examples of sisters there are out there, but you seem easier to talk to and get along with than Penny and Wind. I mean, I still see a lot of hostility in you -but then again I deserve it,' Summer sighed. 'Well, considering the rest of you disappeared out of my life before I hit middle school, I can't say that my level of fondness for any of you other than Trent is very high.'"


• Daria is Raven's Apprentice, by project pegasus: "Daria: OK. OK. Just give me a minute to get it together. Raven: The fire and the snipers won't give you another minute.

• Down Hill Spiral (Long Story Challenge #4, Round 2), by OverlordMikey (part 2): "I was crying on the front porch when Curt showed up. I imagine my eyes where beat red; it was our first break up, but it would be a sign of things to come. 'Monique, what happened?' 'Trent and I broke up.' For a brief moment I though Curt smiled, but that was quickly replaced by a look that seemed to be a mix of guilt and sympathy. 'It'll be okay, tell me about it.'"


• First Day on the Job, by Hyrin (parts 1 and 2): "'DeMartino. Dr. Anthony DeMartino. You can call me Tony.' He held out his hand and gave Tim a firm handshake. 'Since it's your first day, I'll give you the grand tour of Wing 513 here at Cedars of Lawndale.'" (Part 2)


• Five Minutes to Midnight, by untra (parts 9 - 11): "'He doesn't know what it means. He's got the whole speech memorized. Just enjoy his calm soothing voice.' The girl behind me whispered this into my ear. The hair on the back of my neck stood up, and I couldn't help but lock up in fear. Who was she? What do I say? Why couldn't she just have left me alone?" (Part 10) (Part 11)


• Homeless Daria Episode 3: A College Try Gives Me Blisters, by RX-87 (parts 1 - 4): "'Actually, I was thinking about stopping by the center, today, anyway. I really gotta hit the showers. Somebody just reminded me that it's kind of been a while.' Jane paused for effect. 'Well, actually what they said was "You stink!" I guess it's a little ambiguous as to whether they were commenting on my personal hygiene or my musical talent.' 'Of course, it could just as easily have been both.' Daria helpfully suggested." (Part 2) (Part 3) (Part 4)


• The House of Cards, by Doggieboy (part 6): "'I'm prepared to go at anytime,' she said. There was another few moments of silence. 'Perhaps, given that you're now going into your third trimester, you should stay home and leave this to me.' 'No! This concerns the man I love, Dr. Ryan. I don't care if I'm about to go into labor. I will be there when we catch up with him.'"


• Mixed Game (Long Story Challenge #5 Round 1), by LSauchelli (part 1): "The rang bell and Daria started walking faster. 'No time to talk now, you know how Barch gets.' 'Who?' Asked Jane. But Daria didn't hear her when she entered the science classroom she blinked several times at the sight of a completely different classroom than the one she remembered. She looked back at Jane, raising an eyebrow and silently asking her what was going on. 'What?' was the only thing that came out of Jane's lips. She looked more confused with Daria's reaction than anything else."


• No Power in the Verse Can Stop Them, by Hyrin (part 4): "Suddenly, the ship lurched hard to the side and all 3 fell to the floor. Daria was the first back on her feet and ran for the bridge immediately. 'Tell me the hull isn't punctured,' she said as she ran up the stairs, but Andrea didn't answer. Daria saw a large welt on the back of the unconscious woman's head just before a blinding pain hit her from behind and the world went dark."


• Not So Different 56: Double Or Quits, by J-D (COMPLETE!): "There's a limit to the speed a person on crutches can attain.

She looked at him, her eyes wide with confusion, and then said, 'Thank you, uh ... thank you ...'"


• Not So Different 57: Second Wind, by J-D (COMPLETE!): "'So', Jane said, 'who was Amelia?' 'She followed me around constantly at camp, for no good reason.'

The dictator believed it may yet be possible to find enough supporters within the country to help them destroy their hated enemy from within."


• Questions Asked Questions Answered & Pizza w/ Jane Ch 5, by Lord Yellowtail (part 1): "Daria stepped inside and immediately tensed, every muscle in her body coiling in anticipation of fight or flight even as she scolded herself for assuming she was safe.

• Save the Last Trance for Me, by jtranser: "'...While we're at it, let's get away from the stereotypes the popular press has inflicted on trance research.

'So here's your Grizzly T-shirt back!'"
