EO Cassidy, you're not seriously going to eat that for lunch, are you? Of course not, Nadia. My mom just wants me to gain more weight. That's so lame. The whole mom's know about stuff is... tell me about it. Lucky for me, I brought my own salad. Got to stay skinny for [Music] prop. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing? Trying to be healthy. No, you shouldn't have thrown it away. I would have eaten it. That's why you'll never be popular, Steve. Okay, oh, so colors. What are we thinking? I'm doing pink, so no one else. No, why are you doing P... wait, is that a popularity checklist? It's all the things I need to change so I can finally date Cody. [Music] Hey, I can't wait to watch the basketball game later. I can't wait to plan. It should be a doozy. Uh, earthoria, you were saying? Oh great, sorry. Um, yeah, I want to be popular so Cody will finally notice me. Why? Because, Steve, I want a shot at going to prom, so I

don't in high school like a total loser, but I thought we weren't going to prom. What do you mean? Who said that? You did. You forgot. Oh my, it's a good thing you don't play [Music]. Right, no one wears anymore, and you watch anime. Just when I thought you couldn't get any more late, no wonder she has no friends. I like your drawing, really. Everyone else seems to think that it's lame. Anime is cool. If anything, I think social media is lame. 100% agree. Speaking of cool, I'm a little jelly of a shirt. That's my favorite manga. No way, I have the same one. Isn't the pacing in this one so much better than volume 84? Yes, and it looks like that's not the only thing we have in common. Vans are so much cooler than Lulu Lemon, Ralph Lauren, or PacSun. I can't stand when everyone just the same just because it's cool or mainstream. I mean, who wants to be a carbon copy? It's super annoying doing

everything everyone else wants to do, like my brother's in high school, and all he talks about is going to prom. I'd never go, right? That's all my older cousin talks about, his prom. I'd rather eat barf. We should make a pact right now that if we're still friends in high school, we'll watch anime, eat pizza, and sit under fuzzy blankets instead of going to prom senior year. Deal? Deal. I'm Dar, by the way. What's your name? Steve here. This is for you. [Music] Thanks. Remember? Well, things change, Steve. People grow up. We were just kids back then. What did we know? I don't have any lunch money. Do you at least have any [Music] snacks? Someone called the Department. You look so hot. Seriously, you are perfection. How do you look so good all the time? Stop it, you guys are too much. Oh, I think you dropped this. Oh my gosh, you're such a lifesaver. Thanks, Cody. Don't mention it. Cody is so going to ask a prom. He's so into you. Good, 'cause I I'll be a shoe-in.

for prom queen. If I go with Cody, it's open. Guess what I got a surprise for you. It's a peor donut, like from Kira Kira Pretty Cure. Out mode. I can't eat that. I'm trying to be healthy. Okay, who are you and what have you done with my best friend? The Daria I know would have been going crazy over one of these. I mean, just look how cute this is. Well, I'm working on a new and improved Daria, okay? I'm almost there, but I still have a few more to add, and I'm going to need your help to check off these boxes. But you've never liked anything on here. Watch basketball. You hate watching sports. Look, don't change who you are just so that some guy will ask you to prom. You should never pretend to be someone you're not just to get others to like you. This is my one chance to be popular. Can you please just be a supportive friend and help me, please? [Music] Don't give me that look.

please okay okay fine yay fine okay um first on our agenda let's get me some new [Music] clothes I see it yeah Free Falling with your parachute pants look like the Vegas strip lighting up when you dance got your thread stripping with the glitz in the Glam ain't nothing going to hold you back rolling play a caret everywhere that you go talking so smooth C on the road now you see a stars like Vin go ain't nothing going to hold you back when you got it like that when you got it like that ain't nothing going to hold you back when you got it like that rocking Hot Tops while you bumping the beach drop that bo bo got the sound of the streets oh no don't stop let it run on the ain't nothing going to hold you back wow they've never seen it before hat it five star make them come back for more when they walk in JS drop on the floor ain't nothing going to hold you back when you got it like so what do you think well

um I mean, you look nice, but this just doesn't feel like you. To be honest, I think you look just as, um, you know, beautiful before all this. You've never called me beautiful before. Wow, girl, you look so fine. It's already working. Okay, now I need you to take some photos from my new Instagram account. Wait, Instagram account? But you've always hated social media. Can we please not argue about this? Please, please, okay. [Music] That's going to look great for my Instagram. Social media is so dumb. I'd rather read manga than waste my time scrolling through people's feeds. Seems like I got you the perfect birthday gift then because a Steve, and these are the exact ones I've been wanting. I can't believe you remembered. Of course, I remembered. I remember every little thing about you. You are the best friend I could ever ask for. Thank you, Steve. Steve, um, yeah. Can you take the photo before I bring an ankle? Okay, okay, okay. Um, how are these? [Music] No, I look weird. Let's try a different

angle who whoa you okay good just do it [Music] again anyways anyways um about prom I was um [Music] oh my gosh Daria you look incredible. Yeah, I love your new look. You're like a supermodel. Oh, stop it. You guys are too much. Bye, see you. Bye [Music] Daria. Uh, why don't you finish? Wait, you were saying about prom while you walk me into class. Yeah, for [Music] sure. Cody is so into you. It's almost disgusting how much he likes you. I know. I can't wait for him to ask you to prom. I totally overheard the guys from the basketball team talking about our last period. Guess what? Cody's going to ask someone to prom. I saw him holding a sign and roses. Thank you. All right, I'll see you later. Come [Music] on. Oh, uh, Nadia, I was wondering if yes, I go to prom with you. Oh, uh, no. I was just going to ask if you could move out of the [Music] way. Perfect. Um, hey, beautiful. I wanted to

ask you something. I mean, yeah, yeah, since I'm not going with anyone else, why not. Awesome. Uh, I'm going to be right back. I have to pee so bad. I've been holding it for three periods. Okay. Um, don't go anywhere. Okay. Excuse me. This can't be happening. If he's going to pick her over you, you need to move on and find someone better. Why move on when I can just get revenge. [Music] [Music] I got you some roses. Thank you. They're so [Applause] [Music] pretty. Flowers are so generic, especially roses. I can't stand when guys get girls roses. They should be more romantic, like a handwritten note or something. Oh yeah, I totally [Music] agree. I know you hate flower soap. I don't believe it. It worked. It actually worked. I'm want it wrong with Cody. He will not be wrong with look. Wow, that, that's, that's, that, that's great. I'm, I'm so happy for you. Oh, sorry. Why were you trying to say

I cut you off. Uh, it's nothing important. Don't worry about it. Oh, sorry about that. I feel a lot better. Anyways, what are you doing tonight after school? Uh, we're actually watching anime. He's kidding. No, no, I. I don't watch anime. Okay, good, because I cannot be involved in that nerdy crap. Actually, was going to ask if you wanted to watch some basketball with me tonight. She actually hates B. That sounds like so much fun. Great. Um, do you want to come sit at my table with me? We can talk about prom. Yeah, yeah, I'll just. I'll get my Stu, and I'll meet you over there. Awesome. Cool. See you in a minute. [Music] [Music] Hey, Dar. Look, good morning. Book side. I have an announcement to make. You have your nominees for prom King and prom queen. For prom King, we have Cody Summers, Liam Parker, Jackson Morgan, and Ethan Xia. For prom queen, we have Nadia Myers, Cassidy HT, and Holly Peters. Oh, wait, and one

more Daria Chambers congrats. Oh my gosh, congratulations. Am you look so cute. There is no way I heard that right. First, she took my guy, but now she's after my crown. Well, what's your plan? I mean, it's been a few days, and you still haven't gotten your revenge. Do you even have a plan? I got to tell Cody. See you, Nadia. I was wondering, how does it feel to be replaced with Cody by Daria? I don't know. It's whatever. Well, I mean, what's with her sudden glow-up? She's always been such a dorky nerd. I don't know. She just checked all the boxes, I guess. Boxes. [Music] [Music] [Music] Yo, let's take a boomerang. Yeah, okay, um, this. Yeah, why aren't you doing anything yet? It looks like Cody's hardcore falling for Daria. It's don't worry. I got it all figured out. Hey, uh, uh, extra me lovers. Pizza for

Congratulations, so handsome. Thank you, thank, and this year's prom queen [Music] is Daria Chambers. Oh my goodness, so beautiful. Congratulations, a big round of applause for our king and queen. Yay, we [Applause] [Music] won [Music] what. In case any of you are confused, that's the real NAD Daria, a weird stalker girl who wants nothing more in life than to be like me. Come on, Nadia, don't be jealous just because you lost. How can I be jealous of the copy and paste version of myself? Daria made a checklist in everything on how to be just like me. That isn't true, is it?

Dar, oh, it is because look what I found. I mean, how desperate do you have to be? But you have a checklist on how to be like NAIA Myers. Dress, gly, wear makeup, oh, get a mini purse, get a pair of peels, eat healthy, oh, watch basketball, dar, dar, oh, learn how to Str, oh my gosh, wait, oh, go to prom with Cody, get nominated for prom queen, Doran, Doran, stop, are you okay? Look, I, I understand if you never want to talk to me again. Nadia made a complete fool of me, and everything she said was true, and no, no, no, no, no, no, okay, are you kidding me? What Nadia did was messed up. Don't worry about her. She clearly has her own issues. As for you and me, I'd love for us to keep hanging out. Really? Of course. Um, how about we go back to my place? We could get some food or watch [Music] basketball. I'll follow you. Perfect. Great. Okay, I'll see you soon. Okay, hey, don't crash, okay? That would not

be be [Music] good, Daria. I know it took me 6 years to finally get the courage to say this, but the truth is I'm in love with you. I have been since you gave me that drawing in middle school. I fell apart a thousand times. I'm tired of thinking it's raining, but something in your eyes is shining on me. Oh my gosh, how didn't I see soon? You say it's time to let go. I see where you going with my... tell me where you going with my heart. I say where you going, where you going, where you going with my heart. [Music] Daria, what are you [Music] doing now?
