A/N:It's 2.30am , and I know I'm meant to make this the best chapter ever (since it's the first), but I'm excited, so I decided to post it xD. I haven't read a Dasey/LWD story like this before, but I've read plenty of Dramione's and Harry Potter's. So I hope you like. Oh and I'm going to look for a LWD beta reader, but if anyone wants to do this, then please let me know! Thanks.
Stuck with Derek
Chapter 1: Operation Dasey
The Kitchen, 10am
"It-is MINEE!" Derek yelled at Casey, trying to snatch the box of cereal away from her. Unfortunately there was only enough cereal for one person leftover.
"I had it first!" Casey yelled pulling the box back with equal force.
"This is just like the porridge incidence! STOP-" George shouted failing to stop the two.
"I saw it first!"
"IT-"
"I was in the kitchen first!"
"NOW."
"I lived in this house fir-"
Derek couldn't finish the sentence because the box of cereal flew out of both Casey's and Derek's hands and landed… on George's head.
Consequently, Casey, Derek, Lizzie and Edwin fell about laughing. George looked murderous.
"I HAVE HAD ENOUGH." Wow, okay this was certainly a different George. He never used that tone of voice. "Can't we have a single weekend without the two of you messing it up? Am I asking for too much?" Right, so when he was being laughed at unintentionally- that's when he took it personally.
"Dad, chill- it was just a box of-" Derek started to say but was cut off.
"Oh yeah, and last time it was just porridge, and then it was just a remote, huh? And what about all the other squabbled you two always get in to? Does the car ring a bell? The bathroom? Dinner! Must I go on?"
"George, but-"
"No, I don't have to hear anything anymore! Both of you are grounded, until of course I come up with a different punishment that you should learn from."
"It's Saturday! I have plans. Unlike Casey!"
"Der-ek! I have plans too; I was supposed to go to the mall with Truman."
"I don't care, go to your room and cancel your plans while you're at it." Derek and Casey both knew better than to say anything more, judging by George's darkening expression. They'd never seen him look this angry before.
"Lizzie, Edwin I trust you guys to help me think of a good punishment, something that will definitely work. Report back to me and your mom ASAP." George demanded. Lizzie and Edwin nodded before scurrying off.
It felt good to take charge. I should do this more often, George thought with a smirk.
The Game Closet, 10.30am
"Operation Dasey!" Edwin explained proudly.
"Whaaaa?" Lizzie said confused.
"Look Derek and Casey, equals Dasey!"
"Erm, Edwin you do realise that you only do that to, like couples?"
"Yeah..."
"We're trying to get them to get along, not like fall in love?"
"I know, but come on! It's bound to happen at SOME point, I mean you can just feel the sexual tension around them."
"EDWIN, Ewww!"
"So can we use that name?"
"...Fine..."
"Cool."
"So what's the plan?"
"I don't know."
...
...
"Hey why don't we just handcuff them and send them to spend the day together, like they do on TV?" Lizzie said thoughtfully.
"The TV's never wrong... Hey doesn't Dad have a set of real handcuffs?"
"Oh yeah!"
"Uncle Robbie got him them for Christmas." Edwin sniggered.
"I know... Uncle Robbie does know that Dad doesn't put people in jail, but tries to get people from not going in there, and that he doesn't actually get to put handcuff's on criminals?"
"Erm, he forgets?"
"Okay, never mind- let's just tell Mom and Dad our idea. Oh and let's leave out the name of the plan." Operation "Dasey" How random was he?
The Living Room, 11.15am
"WHAT?" Casey and Derek exclaimed after Nora and George told them about the Handcuffs.
"You both deserve it," Nora said, in a calm voice, "And it's only for a day, maybe you'll learn something about each other?"
"Noooo, isn't there anything else we could do?" Casey said in a desperately pleading tone. She didn't need anymore Derek in her life.
George stepped in. "No, absolutely not. Soon you'll be leaving for university and we need to know that you two are responsible enough not to fight every time you see each other. And I may have come a bit strong earlier, but it is true- the rest of us are quite a bit sick of you two ruining the peace all the time."
"Way to show how much you love us, Dad." Derek grumbled.Stupid Casey. Stupid Cereal. Stupid handcuffs. Stupid Casey.
"Of course we love you, but we need to do this for all of us, and soon we are going to have another family member, do you really want him to see you and Casey fight like this?"
"I guess not," Derek said reluctantly, and then a thought struck him, "But Dad what about giving us another chance, me and Casey saw you strike out like that and decided to call a truce, you know? Didn't we Case?" Then pretending to put his hand on Casey's back, who had no idea was what going on, he quite painfully, pulled a few strands of Casey's hair.
"OW! I-I mean OH! Oh yeah," Derek is so going to get it.Snaking an arm around Derek, she also quite painfully, pinched him.
"AHhhhhh! Ahaha..hahah...ha." Derek decided to carry on pulling Casey's hair, this time harder than before, and Casey returned the favour by pinching his back.
Lizzie, Edwin, George and Nora curiously looked at the two step-siblings.
The pinching and pulling continued.
"Are you two okay?"
"MMMhmmm" Casey said without opening her mouth, her harder Derek pulled her hair, the harder she bit into her lip. She was pretty sure that she'd dug a hole into her lip by now.
"Are you two Crying?"Nora asked.
"Casey, your lips!" Lizzie cried.
Maybe the pain was worth it as George was reconsidering the handcuff idea. "Wow, I never realised you would hate spending time together that much! Derek never cri-"
"Why is Smerek pulling Casey's hair? And why is Casey pinching him?" Marti said from behind, her hand on her hips.
Busted.
The five family members looked disapprovingly at Casey and Derek. With narrowed eyes, George stuck his hand out in front on Edwin. " Handcuffs please."
