Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the plot.
Derek and Casey got out of the van hand in hand. "Okay, go plan the lay out of the rooms." George said. Edwin and Lizzie took off towards the house. Derek and Casey just calmly walked until their parents weren't looking and ran the rest of the way.
"So, Derek which room is going to be our bed room?" Casey asked. "Your room has the living room feel to it. Maybe we should get some paint and paint both rooms so they have that homey feel to them." Derek suggested. "I like that idea, but is your room going to become our room?" Casey asked again. "Yeah, I think so." Derek said. "Okay" Casey replied, "Now let's go beg them to take us for paint." Derek laughed at her excitement as she grabbed his hand again and took off down the stairs. "Mom, George?" she called. "Yeah?" Nora said coming out of the kitchen. "We were wondering if you would take us to Home Depot for paint?" Derek asked. Nora looked hesitantly at George. George nodded and through them the keys, "You guys go."
"What color do we want?" Casey asked. "I don't know, we have to look." Derek said with smirk. First the looked at the yellows and reds, then they looked at the purples and pinks, finally they looked at the greens and blues. "What do you think about this for the living room?" Derek asked pointing to a cross between a navy and a light blue. "I love it!" Casey said. After an hour of looking threw the colors twice, they finally decided chocolate/mocha for the bedroom. They bought the paint and headed back to the house.
"Okay Ed what are we going to do about our rooms?" Lizzie asked. "We can make your room our bedroom?" Edwin asked a little preoccupied. "Okay, I guess." Lizzie said hesitantly, "Are you okay?" "Huh? Oh, yeah sure." Edwin said. "Whatever. Now how are we going to do this?" Lizzie said.
"Edwin, Lizzie, Casey, Derek, Marti!" Nora yelled, "Come on were going shopping!" Derek and Casey were the first down stairs followed by Marti, Lizzie, and Edwin. First, they went to the car dealership. "Okay you know how much you have in your trust funds what ever it Nora and I will give a quarter of that amount. Derek, Casey that should give you about $100,000. Lizzie, Edwin you have around $80,000. Now go look." George said.
5 hours later Derek and Casey were staring at their dream car; a fire-truck red convertible Mustang. "Oh my God" Casey said, "Derek can we get it please?" "Before we even consider it how much is it?" Derek said. "$20,700, now please?" Casey begged. "Hold on… Dad, Nora!" Derek yelled. They came right over. "Yes Derek?" Nora asked. "We want this car, please?" Casey said. "Okay let's go talk to the salesman about it and then if you still want it we'll fork out the cash." George said as they entered the office building.
Meanwhile Lizzie and Edwin were still looking. "What about this truck?" Edwin asked. "I love it!" Lizzie replied looking at the Ocean Blue Chevy Truck. "Should we get Dad and Nora?" Edwin asked. "No," Lizzie said, "I think they are working on getting Casey and Derek's car."
