Mart of Darkness: Difference between revisions

[[Payday]], a new "big box" warehouse store, opens in [[Lawndale]]. Various characters are drawn to it: [[Jane]] needs a new supply of Gummi Bears for her sculpture because [[Tom]] inadvertently chowed down on her supply; [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] needs a new bootlace because [[Quinn]] stole hers to replace the purse string she broke; [[Kevin]] and [[Brittany]] need to get barbequebarbecue sauce for the [[Lawndale High]] cookout being held at the Thompson house; the [[Fashion Club]] needs sunscreen; and [[Trent]] and [[Jesse Moreno|Jesse]] just happen to be going there, with Tom tagging along and hoping for the opportunity to make amends with Jane. A long and degrading search for items takes place, but not quite as degrading as [[Anthony DeMartino|Mr. DeMartino]] battling [[Mrs. Johannsen]] for free junk food samples.

Back at the barbequebarbecue, [[Timothy O'Neill|Mr. O'Neill]] (at [[Angela Li|Ms. Li's]] urging) tries talking to [[Doug Thompson|Mr. Thompson]] about Kevin's grades, but all Mr. Thompson is interested in doing is pressuring Mr. O'Neill into passing Kevin along, bad grades or no. Things eventually deteriorate into a brawl when [[Janet Barch|Ms. Barch]] comes to Mr. O'Neill's defense after Mr. Thompson tries to rough him up.
