In a pickle with Daria fan fiction

You know what really sucks? I've been trying to write this Daria fan fic', "You Snooze, You Lose" for a little more than a year. But it seems I'm unable to write it! *Pouts* I need inspiration. Where in the heck do ya *find* inspiration? It's like inspiration took one look at me and ran off screaming into the night. Anyway, here's a movie-type preview to my tough-to-write story, "You Snooze, You Lose."

(Music: "Leave it All Behind" by Amy Grant."
Daria goes with Tom to The Cove to stay with him and his family for a weekend. It's obvious that Tom's family isn't taking too kindly to anything Daria does. Upset by this, Daria asks Tom to take her home, but he promises he'll make this humiliating weekend up to her later, and they stay.
The next day at breakfast, Daria offhandedly mentions her fear of the water. The next thing she knows, the Sloanes are excitedly talking about going sailing to get Daria over her fear. After a lot of begging, they talk her into it. Unfortunately, Tom's uncle doesn't have a TV at his boathouse, so they can't check the weather reports before they set sail. A huge storm hits while they're out on the water, and Tom falls out of the ship. Daria freaks, and jumps in to save her boyfriend, despite her fear of the water. When Elsie (Tom's sister) realizes Daria's not doing too good out there, she jumps in to rescue her. Elsie manages to drag Daria out of the water, but Tom's nowhere in sight...
After Tom's funeral, everyone at the Morgendorffer house acts awkward around Daria, so she spends most of her time at Jane's. Even though Jane's being a great friend, Daria seems even more depressed than usual. The only person she doesn't seem heartbroken around is Trent. Trent's always been happy to be around Daria, but now he almost seems smitten with her... awesome...
(Music: "Somebody Else's Song" by Lifehouse.")
...but is she cracking up or does Trent seem... different somehow? Nearly every time she's around him, it feels like deja vu. And since when does Trent read Poe? Trent used to sleep eighteen hours a day, not eighteen *minutes*! He hardly ever even plays his guitar anymore. All of this is strange behavior for Trent, but when he gets thrown in prison for attempted murder of the Sloanes, Daria and Jane know something's up.
