Hi all, I'm Loops. This is my very first attempt at writing a "Life With Derek" fic, as I mostly hang out at the "Newsies" section. I've been reading so much "LWD" fan fiction, I just had to try one myself.

Title: Take Me Home

Rating: M (I'm giving myself the space for some future hot moments, lol)

Summary: What if Casey & Derek met first, and from there came George & Nora? Well, this is the story between Casey & Derek prior to the marriage, and not as steps. Dasey. R&R!

IDK: Just informing you avid "LWD" fans that I seriously haven't watched very many episodes of this show. So don't hate me if I've got anything wrong, because hey, it is just fan fiction:) Please enjoy!

Chapter One.

Ugh, if the male species can't be any more disgusting, they have to be disgusting in packs. Casey McDonald made her way through the group of boys to the door of the 7-11 she wanted to enter. "Hey guys," one of the boys announced, "hot stuff comin' through!"

They all snorted in response. The 6 or 7 boys parted ways for her to get through more easily - all, but one.

Derek Venturi wanted to charm this girl, who wore her hair up in a ponytail and stood up straight, with her breast's sticking out, and her lips pursed. "Hi," he smiled, putting the charm out there in just one word, continuing, "I'm Dere..."

"I'm going inside," Casey cut him off, walking around him, without flinching.

Quicker than anything, not letting the response phase him, Derek whirled around Casey and pulled the door open, still looking at her with a smile. "A lady deserves someone who opens doors for her," he stated.

Casey was inside the store before he could say anything more though. She went to the back and thought, An attractive boy is flirting with me, so this must have been a joke. She chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Derek was very slick about his moving around Casey quietly.

Glaring at him, Casey looked around the store, completely forgetting what she had gone in for in the first place. Damn-it, she thought, but would not let this get to her, as she set her eyes on every object in the store to find what she needed. Her eyes said "yes" when they fell upon a bag of Potato Chips. Though she realized this was what she wanted, she couldn't figure out why, because she hated Potato Chips.

Derek cocked his head and smiled fully again. He licked his lips, dancing a little with his shoulders, causing the level of perverseness to increase exceedingly. "Wanna hang out with me?" he asked her.

Finally, Casey's mind snapped back to why she was buying Chips. Sweet Marsh, the beautiful and smart Marsh, my fabulous boyfriend, my one and only, the... Her mind trailed off into all of the making-out she had done just 15 minutes ago with her boyfriend, Marsh. He was the only person who could make her mind wander. Well, and Derek was making her mind wander as well, but she dismissed this. "My boyfriend really wouldn't like me hanging out with little boys," she retorted almost angrily to Derek.

He was taken aback a bit, but this still didn't change his stature. "I've got a girlfriend, but that's not stopping me." Allowing himself to be the opposite of a gentleman, he lunged forward and stuck his tongue in Casey's mouth, and then busted out in laughter, right into her mouth as well.

Casey fell backward onto the long wire rack of Chips, and knocked the whole thing down. The cashier hadn't noticed them all that much, but upon hearing all of the noise, he jumped up from the desk and screamed, "Get outta here, you punk kids!"

Derek continued to laugh as he ran from the store. Casey, on the other hand, picked herself up from the floor and raised her hands in defeat. "I – I – Sir, I – that boy – He – I - ..." Her mind came to a point of the chalkboard with nothing on it, and she couldn't continue. Instead, she followed in Derek's steps and quickly exited the store, to find that Derek and all of his friends had disappeared, but their laughing could still be heard in the darkness they had entered.

So there's not much to this yet, but I'm tired and have to go to sleep. All I can say is that this will be a Derek and Casey fan fiction, even if everyone's sick of those, lol. Please R&R with some love!
