The Great Missed Opportunity

Before there was Tom, there were Brett and Brad, Upchuck's much cooler cousins (last name assumedly Ruttheimer but we aren't sure). We meet them for a brief, wonderful period in "Daria Dance Party," and then Daria and Jane perform a horrible cop-out and run away, only to fall into the clutches of EVIL THOM, AH HA HA HA HA HA whatever.

If there was ever an AU begging for a writer, this one is the one. I mean, among all the other AUs begging for writers. I know a couple of people have taken shots at this one, but I don't recall any long-term relationships coming out of them, and there really should be. They were perfect for each other, the four of them. *sigh* What could have been . . . and could yet be. Maybe they'll meet again in Boston, who knows. Anyone up for this?

Sorry, I screwed up my own post. I was saying that people should just forget "Darkness" and do something new and different, get this foursome together while they're still teens. Who knows what could happen?

This has possibilities. Daria and Jane can steal each other's boyfriends...

But if they're "perfect for each other," there's no angst, right?

Well, maybe after Daria and Jane give birth...
