Before I start this fanfic, I would just like to explain the current situation. The MacDonalds have been living with the Venturis for about two years now; Nora and George's marriage is doing quite well. Lizzie and Edwin have gotten really close (in a best friend sort of way) over the past year. As for Casey and Derek, well let's just say ever since Casey found out that Emily went out with Derek, totally ignoring the girl code, they've been on worst terms then they have ever been. Emily moved away to got to a boarding school in France to study art, which she is supposedly really good at. When Casey moved from her old home, leaving her perfect social life and best friends behind, she was so unhappy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Life with Derek, but it'd be way cool if I did.

...On with the story...

Casey heard a knock at the front door and apparently nobody else did. She rolled her eyes at her preoccupied, blended family and got up to answer the door. She pulled the door open.

"Skittles!" a girl who looked awfully familiar screeched and held her arms out to hug Casey

"Twizzlers!" Then Casey finally recognized the identity of this girl from her familiar voice and hugged her, "Oh Em Gee."

"Your not gonna let your best friend stand out in the cold, are you?" Casey's best friend from back home said

" I'm sorry, Britt, come in and meet my new family." Casey led Brittany into the house, "Hey everyone look who's here!"

Everyone turned towards the front door. Derek smirked, Edwin's jaw dropped, Lizzie smiled and went to give Brittany a hug, George waved and Nora was surprised.

"Brittany, how'd you get all the way across the country?" Nora asked

"Well, my mum, my little bro and I moved into the Davises old house fight next door. Mum said to go get friendly with the neighbors, so I came to introduce myself. I wasn't expecting to see my Skittles open the door." Brittany said

Derek and Edwin chuckled at the weird nickname. While Nora went back to the kitchen to criticize her husband's cooking, Marti came running down the stairs. She almost made Brittany fall backwards when she tackled her.

"It's gonna be just like old times, with Liz, Marti-bear, Twizzlers, and me." Brittany laughed

" It sure is gonna be just like home." Casey said

"Just us girls." Lizzie said

" Exacticly." Marti said

"Brittany," Nora asked as she set the table. "Have you met Derek and Edwin?"

"No, not yet." Brittany answered

"Well, then today must be your lucky day." Casey and Derek said at the same time (of course Casey said it sarcastically and Derek said it with a smirk)

"Derek Venturi, master of hockey..." Derek said running a hand through his hair (which is like it was in the previous episodes, not the new ones)

" And a whole lot of cocky." Casey, Edwin and Lizzie said together, and then they started laughing

"Well, I'm Edwin. Nice to meet you." Edwin said once he stopped laughing

"Like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, I'm Derek," Derek said. " It's very nice to meet you."

Casey and Brittany simultaneously rolled their eyes.

" She won't fall for you either, Smerek." Casey and Brittany laughed their way up the stairs towards Casey's room.
