"Seriously, Case, are you going to call Pizza Hut or what?" Derek waved the phone in front of her face, sniggering at her annoyed expression.
"No."
"But why not! I want some pizzaaaaa." Derek mock pouted in her direction, Casey just glared at him. Propelling herself of the couch Casey mumbled, "why couldn't of you just stayed dead." She looked in his direction, obviously waiting for an answer, "because, I just love you sooo much. Especially all sweaty and dressed up in leather, like when you were onstage at your dance recital last night." He winked suggestively at her, loving the way her cheeks lit up in embarrassment. "God Derek. Even dead, you're still a skirt chasing cad." He chuckled and she bit her lip to stop the giggles threatening to come out. "Yeah well, I try." She headed for the stairs, already knowing Derek would follow her.

"Are sure you're the only one who sees me? It's getting extremely boring when there's no one else to talk to while you study."
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure. No one really seems to notice you around the house. Then again, you were probably sent her just so you could annoy me for the rest of my life." He smirked, "Don't think to high of yourself princess, I probably have some unfinished business." Casey gave him a weird expression, it was quite amusing though, and it was the sort of expression in between confused and-"Unfinished business?" She asked. "Yeah," He scratched the back of his head. "I haven't been able to kiss that new girl at school" Casey gave him a disgusted glare, he smiled innocently." I haven't been able to teach Edwin about the birds and the bees," And thank god. That would be one awkward discussion. "Also, I haven't been able to beat up Smarti's first boyfriend. And hey, don't look at me like that. Lizzie can take care of herself. She's in Karate remember?"
"Yeah I remember. How could I not? She's my sister." Casey bit out defensively.
"Whoa there princess, hold your horses. No need to get your panties in a bunch." Casey tried to through a pillow at his face, key word there, 'tried'. Instead it just hit one of her lamps. Which fell. And broke. And wow, how'd she get pissed so fast? "Der-ek!" She shrieked, flailing in obvious distress. "Look at what you made me do!?" She pointed her index finger at the broken lamp, he just sighed.
"Sorry." Casey froze in mid flail, "Wha-what?" Stumbling, quite dramatically. "Did the great Derek Venturi just apologize?"
"Yep." Lifting himself off the ground Derek floated-walked-over to her bedroom door, "I'll go get the broom; you go get a trash bag."
Casey looked around the room, not sure how to take this random act of kindness and started to gather a couple big pieces of glass off the ground.

When Derek showed up with a broom in one hand, and a bowl of nachos with cheese in the other. She knew he was back to his old normal Neanderthal self again. "So, Case how 'bout me and you go downstairs and watch some TV after we clean up this horrid mess you call a bedroom." She huffed, "It is not horrid you pig. Your room is horrid." Setting down the nacho bowl, Derek walked over to the mess and started sweeping some glass into the dustpan. "Yeah, yeah I know. But at least I have and excuse for it being that messy. Where's yours?" Her eyes shifted downcast, he knew saying that was a mistake. Casey hated being reminded of the day he died. Shaking his head, he opted for a comedic relief. "I mean, your room totally looks like a tornado hit it Miss Piggy." He snorted for emphasis, and she giggled. Finishing the mess they headed for the stairs. Man, that was close one; he does not do well with crying girls. Dead or not.

"So, Schools tomorrow huh?" School was a touchy subject for Casey, she hasn't been there ever since his death, which was about four weeks ago. But she's been studying, making sure to not let her grades fall. Casey smiled, "Yeah. And I can't wait to talk to Emily! It feels like it's been ages since we last talked. Such as, make-up, boys, "She smirked slyly, and whispered. "sex." Tripping over his own two feet in shock, Derek feel on his butt, landing on the bottom of the stairs.
And because Marti was part of the Venturi clan, she did not ever clean, which meant her toys were scattered all around the house. Which also meant that anyone could fall on them, and with Derek's awful luck, he did, right were the sun don't shine. "Yeowarrgghhh!" To Casey, she thought he sounded like a dying moose. To Derek, well, he wasn't really paying attention at all about what he sounded like; he was a little busy at the moment. You know, recovering. "Ohmygod Derek! I'm sooo sorry. I didn't think you were going to fall and-"Derek tuned out her rambling and tried balancing on his feet.
Holding his, ahem, area, like a crazed wolf protecting its food from the other crazed wolves. "Fuck," he coughed, trying to regain his breathing. "Are you trying to castrate me!?" He growled in pain, she stumbled back. "Well since your dead, I wouldn't think you'd fell any pain, and, and, I'm sorry!"
"It's okay." He grounded out.
"No it's not okay, wait here, I'm going to go get some ice."
"No Casey, wait! I said it was okay!"
This went on for the rest of the night.

Sorry, kiddies. Also, I need your oppinion. Should this be a Dasey? Im not sure, so I'll let you decide for me, fans are always right.
