writting about charactors that already have a back story can be fun but difficult all at the same time. trying to bend there personalities to do things you wish would of happened instead of what did happen can be hard. this is my first fan fic but i hope it will turn out okay. i know LWD has been over for years and i am really to old to watch the show but i was alot younger when i started reading some stories on here and couldnt help but think of how i wanted them to turn out. if you believe i have taken anything from other stories pls pls tell me and i will give credit where it is due. this storie will be rated M for good reason trust me if there was a higher rating i would put it higher.

i own nothing

" you want me to what" casey asked in complete shock

" you herd me just fine casey, you know it will be harder for him then it will be for you. you can help him study and keep him out of trouble, you have always been the one to talk him out of his crazy ideas" Nora almost begged as she looked across the table at her daughter.

When everyone found out Casey and Derek would be at the Collage Nora and George pulled there savings and put a down payment on a run down little house. It was an older house and needed alot of work but they know casey and derek could handle the work and for doing the work they decided to let them live there for free, of corse they would need to get there own food but all the utilaties would be paid as long as they did the work and kept good grades at school.

"he can't really come into the dorms mom unless he wants to become Dereka again" casey laughed just as Derek came down the sairs

"whats so funny" Derek asked

Nora poped her head up and smiled, " ohh good your up would you mind sitting down here with us i have some stuff i want to talk to you about." she said as she patted the seat next to her.

the kids sat there while Nora got up and grabbed a few papers and sat back down.

"okay George and i talked about the idea of where you two would be living before he left for his busness trip, we know it is hard for you two to get along but we also know that it is safer for you guys to be together then apart"

Casey and Derek instantly looked at eachother and shoulted "we cant live together"

Derek wanted his freedom from the family the way a normal 19 yearold did. he wanted the party life and "girls gone wild" weekends, there was no way he was going to live with a keener like casey. she would never let him have fun.

Casey knew that she was slowly changing, it was normal for teenagers to want to have "fun" and other then dance she didnt do anything along those lines she always had her nose in a book. her collage life was going to be fun. She thought all summer on how she could be involved in Dereks life, but other then watching his games she always came up blank, this was going to help her plan, but she couldnt make it seem like she loved this idea.

Casey was the first to speek up "mom i will not spend my time cleaning up after him"

"and you think i want a keener like you around HAA like hell klutzilla i would rather the pope himself atleast he knows what its like to let loose alittle and drink some wine."

Nora stood up and slapped her hands down on the table snapping the attention from the teens back to herself.

"George said i was crazy for thinking this would work but i know it will, Derek who was the one who stopped you from throwing the party you wanted to and when it was moved to sams house it got so out of hand the cops needed to be called?"

Derek rolled his eyes and whipered "Casey"

" and you Casey who is the one who is always pulling you out of your break up blues and adding a little light into your life?"

Casey slumped down into her chair "Derek"

" now i know it will be hard but we have a plan and you two are adults now and have to come at this new life as such. school starts in one month so we will have to work fast if we want this to work and it will be alot of hard work so if you two want to fight then fine so be it go life on your own where you pay the rent you pay the power and never talk to eachother again... OR" Nora paused as she watched them look at eachother then back at her with questioning eyes so she smiled and sat back down

" we have a house that you two can live in. it is a fixer upper but if we work together we can get it done before school starts and if you guys do most of the work that is needed and we will trade it for your rent."

Dereks eyes popping open wide he slowly started seing what she ment "you mean i hammer a few boards down and i can live rent free...sweet"

it was Nora's turn to roll her eyes "Derek i mean that if you do some hard work and you and Casey can get along AND you keep your gades up you can both live there'

Casey sat streight up almost jumping out of her chair. she could plan her own house. her paint, her curtins, her funature, her between Derek and her mom she reached over to the papers her mother had and stuck out her other hand "deal"

Derek took off right away to brag to his friends about HIS house while Casey sat there with her mom planning out HER house.

AN- so what do you think? this will be a dasey story if you just keep reading you will see.
