A/N Hi, so this my first fanfic ever, so cut me some slack. I have read a bunch of these and wanted to throw out some new ideas. I decided that if I actually got any reviews I could continue one of the three story intros that I am gonna create. You know, which ever seems most interesting, so here goes. The first one is...

Tickets

Derek reclined in his chair as he scrolled threw various windows on his laptop. Days were quite boring in the MacDonald/Venturi household since dad and Nora were out of town with Marti visiting family. Usually the house would be filled with nonstop yelling, but with Casey staying after school everyday for dance and Lizzie at soccer practice, the house was divided between the two Venturi boys.

Just as Derek was ready to call Edwin down to make him a sandwich, a funny noise rang out on his computer and Derek hesitantly switched windows to see the cause of the noise. Relieved, he realized it was only an IM from Sam, it read "Hey, D, you would never believe this but the convention center about 40 kilometers from here is hosting this sports event. Yeah! They have tickets on sale right now. I even heard players from the Leafs, Canucks and Montreal Canadians will be there. Go on right now, the radio said they only have a 100 left!"

Derek bounded out of his chair as he raced to find one of dad's credit cards that he leaves around his bedroom in the basement. As he finally returned, excitement boiling up from his chest, a loud pop pervaded the halls and rooms both upstairs and down stairs. Edwin came to the top of the stairwell, clear panic in his countenance. "Don't freak Edwin, its probably only some light bulb or something." Derek said as a sudden realization grew. He peered around the corner at the fixture in the kitchen to notice the fan slowing down and as he entered the living room, a dark, black screen had appeared on his laptop.

"Dude, the power outage just ended my game!" Edwin shouted, now a little angry.

"I don't think that was just a power outage, Ed, my laptop is fried, how many devices have you got going up there, that is caused this bad of a shortage?" Derek replied with frustration protruding through in his voice.

"Hey don't look at me, I only have one..." Edwin said just as he was cut off by a humming coming from the upstairs bathroom.

Casey was seen emerging with head phones in her ear and some curlers on half of her head as she made her way to her bedroom. Still antsy about getting the tickets, Derek rushed upstairs and into the bathroom to see six different hair appliances plugged into the wall. Without a yell or a grunt, Derek ran full speed for Casey's room and barged in without a single knock. Quickly startled, Casey paused her music and looked up innocently. "What!" She asked, half distracted by her hand running fingers through her curls.

"You idiot!" He started as his words mashed together to form one long line of meaningless insults before addressing the problem. "Your five billion hair things totally fried my laptop and caused a power shortage!"

She didn't looked fazed at all as she continued to twirl her hair, with a small grin appearing at each end of her mouth. "So?" She said politely.

"What the hell! SO? SO? This is a really big deal Casey! I need those tickets, and you totally have ruined my chances at them! And why are you even here!" Derek responded with more vigor.

Ignoring his initial questions and comments, Casey dove right into the last question. "We are here Derek because of something called S-E-X."

For a second Derek stood planted right to the spot with amazement at what Casey had actually said. Did the keener really say sex, what! Since when is she so, normal.

Happy at her brother's astonishment, Casey continued, "Actually, I am at home because I don't have dance today. If you had payed attention at breakfast this morning, then you would know that the National Academics Honor Society is hosting a banquet tonight and it's formal attire only."

"What ever." Derek said as he began leaving her room, clearly not interested in anything else she had to say, he would drive as fast as possible over to Sam's house to see if he could borrow his computer to get the tickets.

So that was Tickets. If continued, the plot dives into Derek having to pretend to be his dad, and Casey unwillingly pretending to be Nora, since his dad and Nora received complimentary tickets in the mail through a client of Nora's. The main problem for Derek here is that even though he can pass as George Venturi (since there is no age on the tickets) he can't get in without 'Nora' since Nora was invited. It's even trickier since Nora's ticket gives a description of height, hair color and eye color, so Derek can't just take any girl, he has to find one that matches; which is where Casey comes in.

Reviews, Anything?
