AN: My first Life with Derek story. So be kind, and please read and review.

ONE

Derek and his pal Alexander were sitting on his porch, just shooting the breeze. Talking about this and that.

"So, what have you been up to Alex?" Derek asked his pal.

"Nothing." Alexander said. "Hey did you finish copying my Algebra 2 homework, yet?"

"Of course." Derek said. "Now, what type of trouble should we get into?"

"How about we Antique Casey?" Alexander asked.

"Awesome idea." Derek said. "Come on." Derek motioned for him to follow him into the kitchen, where he grabbed the flour, and they crept into Casey's room. Casey was taking a nap on her bed. That was when Alexander thought she looked absolutely beautiful while she slept.

"Ready?" Derek whispered.

"Of course." Alexander whispered back. Derek scooped some flour into his hand, and threw it into Casey's face. She didn't stir right away, but when she did wake up, both Alexander and Derek were running out of the door of his house.

"That was great!" Derek exclaimed as his parents pulled up in the drive way.

"Hey guys, what are you up to?" Ms. McDonald asked.

"This and that." Alexander said. "Come on Derek, there's something I want to show you at my house."

"Be back before dinner!" Ms. McDonald yelled. As Alexander and Derek were about to leave, Casey stood on the porch, face still covered with some flower. She was steamed.

"Oh, crap." Alexander said.

"Run! Run!" Derek said as Casey started to chase them.

"I'm going to get you, you jerks!" Casey yelled as they ran after them.

"Man, I hope Seth is at home." Alexander said as he and Derek arrived on his porch. He knocked real loud and just as Casey rounded the corner, Seth answered the door. Both Derek and Alexander nearly ran him over getting into the house.

"Man, what did you two dopes do now?" Seth asked.

"Nothing much, just threw some flour on Casey." Alexander said.

"Now she's chasing us for no reason." Derek said.

"You two better lay low here until she calms down." Seth said.

"That won't be any time soon." Derek said.

"What do you expect? You threw flour on her!" Alexander said.

"You suggested it!" Derek shot back.

"Well, since you're here, want to play video games?" Alexander said.

"Sure." Derek said.

Seth just stared in amazement. These guys never cease to amaze me.
