Washington

Summary: George and Nora never got divorced and remarried. Derek and Casey are in the eighth grade and going on a trip to Washington. Some events may bring out some feelings that they never knew existed. Characters will be a little OOC at times.

(Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Life With Derek or the characters. I do however own the plot and any extra characters that might be thrown into the story. The plot of this story is loosely based off of actual events.)
