Yeah that every week thing isn't working out huh? But hey, It's gonna START working out when I start SCHOOL. Damn college. I will be announcing that on my little header thingy. Something like this.

Also I forgot to ask, is jumping off the bridge legal? OH WELL.

As always: I do not own Dalton or anything associated. And to make it clear the only thing I own here is Derek Breaker. I ownz dat bitch.(Terry, my first OC EVER is getting jealous of Derek for a bit. Haha)

I hope you're enjoying my story because I'm one of those pathetic saps that look at my story stats every few hours and fret over the fact that no one's been reading my stories. And I constantly worry on the fact that it's probably due to the butchering I've done to each chapter.

FRET FRET FRET. BITCH BITCH BITCH. COMPLAIN COMPLAIN COMPLAIN and so forth.

Enjoy this chapter! Love Lots

Derek was surprised to find his costume in his suitcase. The twins probably told him the theme ahead of time, and he had to admit, he's got really good taste. A few minutes right before the guests arrived, the music started, the lights went down and the chocolate waterfall was flowing. Kurt and Reed were comparing clothes. Shane was walking around his room, hoping that he didn't forget to pack anything. David was staring at the phone, wondering if he should call Katherine right now or not. Derek heard the twins whoop in excitement as he pulled up his jumper and hopped into his shoes all the while he wondered if he should drink tonight or not.

He knocked on Kurt's door as he slipped pass the Willy Wonka Playground. "Come in!"

"Hi guys." Derek smiled and peeked through the door, "Is it okay for me to ask you to comment on my kid costume."

"Sure why not?" Kurt smiled and he finished lacing his boots. Derek jumped in with knee high stripped socks, a jumper that fell right here the socks ended, with sneakers and a long sleeved stripped shirt. "You look like an Oompa Lumpa."

"I think that's the point?" He looked down at his socks. "I mean, at least I don't have orange skin."

"He's got you there." Reed said. "And I think it looks adorable on you."

"Thank you… Excited for tonight? I know I am." In more ways than one. He smirked and looked at the two.

"Yes, judging by the sound of the outside, I think you three did a pretty good job." Kurt said. The Tweedles burst through the door, "The guests are coming! Rose, come on!"

"Rose?" Kurt asked, aghast.

"They named him a few weeks before you came." Reed said. Derek looked at Reed, surprised at the revelation.

"Rose!" Ethan grabbed Derek by the elbow and pulled him out. "How would you like to greet our guests?"

"Me?"

"Yes, you, only for the first hour and you can go ahead on the dance floor."

"Just say, welcome to the party. Also, smile and wave." Evan said and he patted the swing near the door. "Do whatever you like."

"Can I have a drink?" Derek said, it wouldn't be that bad if he was tipsy. It would be more entertaining, actually. Evan took a tall glass of blueberry vodka and handed it to Derek. He took a sip and sat on the swing. Ethan made a lifting up gesture and Derek was a little rattled when his feet didn't touch the ground.

"Don't get too drunk now!"

"We wouldn't want you to fall!"

Derek smiled and swung a little bit back and forth. After a minute, the guest came flooding in. He took a few sips during the hour, feeling a bit buzzed, enjoying the view, people he didn't know saying hi. His phone thankfully had pictures that corresponded to each name, he's been memorizing for a while. Fifteen minutes before his time on the swing was over, he got borderline drunk, having finished the glass. New guests came by, a gaggle of super models.

"Hello guests! Welcome to the bitchingest party in this side of New York!" Derek slipped to his side and propped his left leg on the seat. "Drinks all around you, below me the waterfall in chocolate and rum. The dance floor is filled to the brim but we can squeeze in some more! Food on your left! Jelly shots on the right! Have a nice night!"

"Having fun up there, Breaker?" Someone shouted below him with a British accent.

"Justin Bancroft?" Derek shouted and almost fell from his swing. "Oh yeah, you were coming! Almost forgot!" The prefect laughed. "Please don't tell my parents!"

"That you're drunk? Wouldn't imagine it!" He laughed.

"Have fun at the party! And I'm not drunk, I'm just slightly intoxicated!" Derek swung some more, screaming at the top of his lungs at the exhilaration of swinging back and forth over people's heads. He almost hit Shane's head. David and Wes commented on how much fun Derek looked like he was having.

"He's going to fall down if he doesn't stop." David said.

"The twins said it's almost time for him to go down anyway." Wes craned his head and spied two blond heads cutting through the crowd towards the swinging boy.

"Hanovers are so much fun when they're intoxicated, don't you think, Ethan?" His twin nodded and they waved their hands to get Derek's attention. He looked down to find the twins waving at him.

"Is it time for me to go down?"

"Yes!" Evan said. "You are tipsy and you almost kicked Shane's head off!"

"I said I was sorry!"

"We're bringing you down now!"

"Wait! Bring me by the waterfall; I want to try it, just this once! Then I'll be off alcohol for the rest of the night, I promise." The blond boys conceded the brunette's request and they told the operator to move him to the side. Derek sat up and hooked his legs firmly on the swing before tossing himself over. His head was an inch away from the chocolate concoction and some people cheered. The twins laughed and Reed almost looked scandalized. Shane took part at the applause, that guy has some balls.

He dipped his glass into the chocolate and pulled it out half full. The swing was lifted up and he flipped himself upright without spilling his drink. That was a great feat for someone who wasn't sober. The twins grinned as he stood up in front of them and chugged the chocolate rum down. "By the way, I'm not that drunk." He told the Tweedles. "I can't! I feel like Kurt and Blaine are going to kiss today and I need to see it. Can't pass out."

The two glanced at each other. "We like how you think, little Rose."

"You'll see it sooner."

"We'll keep an eye on them." Derek rolled his eyes and smiled. There was no need for any of that, he knew when it was going to happen, he's read it many times.

"No. It'll be fine, just relax! Enjoy the party!" Derek jumped into the dancing fray and one of his many favourite songs blasted on the speakers. He felt like he was detached from his body. It was doing its own thing and he felt the music flow into him. Slowly, he was sweating out the alcohol out of his system. Someone was dancing with him, grinding on him, but he didn't mind. A party like this shouldn't be spoiled by anyone, not even a pervish dude. Derek opened his eyes and the lasers were flickering everywhere, he couldn't recognize the face. Two arms circled around his neck and the guy who was grinding on him was pushed out of the way by another dancing body.

"Ethan?" Derek squinted.

"No one's going put their weed whacker –"

"– near our Rose."

"Cocktail?"

"One more drink wouldn't hurt." Derek shrugged and took the drink from Ethan. They danced a few minutes and the candy confetti fell from the ceiling and he caught some in his glass. It was a lollipop. "This is the best idea I've ever had!" He laughed and put the lollipop in his mouth. "Mm, chocolate." With Derek between the twins, they partied hard.

"Derek seems to be having lots of fun." Reed commented as he sipped his apple juice.

Dwight nodded slightly and continued to watch. He looked at Reed, who was one of the first to acknowledge this Derek character. "I think this is the first time I've ever seen him." He admitted. Reed's eyebrows scrunched in confusion.

"What do you mean? We hang out with him almost all the time. He's practically a Windsor." Reed was so sure with what he was saying. On top of all the Dalton proofs, he knew Derek since they were kids. Always reliable, always friendly, always there. If only Derek didn't like Hanover so much.

Dwight shook his head. "It just doesn't seem right."

"Are you okay, Dwight? It's not like you to forget someone like that."

"You know what, never mind." And he walked away. None of them would understand. I'll have to watch him by myself.

It was half passed ten and some of the Warblers broke into song a few minutes ago, giving the Tweedles an idea. They whispered something into Derek's ear and he happily agreed. They pulled him by the hand towards the mini stage up front and they said something to the DJ's. The three of them were given microphones and Evan shouted.

"You having a great time?" The crowd cheered.

"That's what we wanted to hear."

"As your hosts –"

"Slash planners."

"We have a treat for you."

"Hit it!" Derek said into the mic.

All my people in the crowd
Grab a partner take it down.

It's me against the music
Uh huh, it's just me and us, yeah, c'mon
Hey, Derek.
Are you ready? Uh huh, are you?

Oh.

The crowd cheered and they went up the neon bridge. Derek took Britney's part and the twins took Madonna's.

No one cares
It's whippin' my hair, it's pullin' my waist
To hell with stares
The sweat is drippin' all over my face

And no one's there
I'm the only one dancin' up in this place
Tonight I'm here
Feel the beat of the drum, gotta get with that bass

There was just enough alcohol in Derek for him to shamelessly dance with the Tweedles. They were synchronized, and he had barely caught up with them. The grinding on the front and back was fun though.

I'm up against the speaker, tryin' to take on the music
It's like a competition, me against the beat
I wanna get in the zone, I wanna get in the zone

If you really wanna battle, saddle up and get your rhythm
Tryin' to hit it, you could die
In a minute I'm a take a you on, I'ma take a you on

Derek was out of breath by the end of that bridge. Ethan grabbed his hand and led him to the middle of the dance floor where people moved out of the way. They pumped their fists in the air as the three kicked it to the chorus.

Hey, hey, hey!

The twins started to dance on their own, leaving Derek to sing the chorus.

All my people on the floor
Let me see you dance, let me see ya
All my people wantin' more
Let me see you dance, I wanna see ya

All my people, 'round and 'round
Let me see you dance, let me see ya
All my people in the crowd
Let me see you dance, I wanna see ya

The twins danced like they rehearsed for this all their lives. They knew each other's next step and they had this in the bag. The crowd cheered as they coaxed some of the dancers to come join them, including Shane. The dancers could barely catch the twins' fast repetitive steps but they followed through. He could hear Shane egging him on. "You go, Derek!"

So how would you like a friendly competition
Let's take on the song
It's you and me baby, we're the music
Time to party all night long

The twins went back to singing when they dancers got the steps. They started making up new steps as they went. Derek smiled at the two and they danced around him, playfully glaring at each other.

Get on the floor, baby lose control
Just work your body and let it go
If you wanna party, just grab somebody
Hey Derek, we can dance all night long

At the last line, Derek threw his mic at Evan and he caught it, knowing exactly what was next. He started to dance on his own. This was one of his favourite Britney songs, and favourite Glee song. Back home, in another dimension, he already made his own steps to this part of the song. Admittedly he borrowed some of the steps from the original music video but he had his own twist to it too, more pop and locking than the original, an extra turn here and there. The hip wiggling stayed though. And his parents thought he was straight for a little while longer…

Hey Derek, you say you wanna lose control
Come over here, I got somethin' to show ya

The blonds walked nearer to the brunette, a little mesmerized by the dance moves he was putting on the floor. He smirked at them when they reached the quick pause.

Sexy baby, I'd rather see you bare your soul
If you think you're so hot, better show me what you got

All my people in the crowd
Let me see you dance
C'mon Derek, lose control
Watch you take it down

Derek knelt down on the floor just like Britney did on the video. Everyone cheered. The following chorus was like the Glee version of the song. It was interesting to hear from the twins who obviously didn't watch Glee. They picked him up from the floor and they danced together.

All my people on the floor
Let me see you dance, let me see ya
All my people wantin' more
Let me see you dance, I wanna see ya

All my people, 'round and 'round
Say, let me see you dance, let me see ya
All my people in the crowd
Say let me see you dance, I wanna see ya

He danced from one twin to another, letting loose, letting the music guide him through the steps. This was the most fun he'd had in a party.

All my people in the crowd, let me see you dance
C'mon baby, take it down, make the music dance
All my people round and round, party all night long
C'mon baby, lose control, watch you take it down

Derek was laughing the whole time and he was positively dripping with sweat, so were the twins. He gave them high fives and the music went back on. They drank deep form their glasses. Derek asked for water, since he swore that last cocktail was his last while the twins got some drinks that were green and red.

"We haven't seen you move like that, ever!"

"Even in Warblers' practice!"

Oh, I'm a warbler, awesome! "I never usually dance like that in public. Always in private." The twins glanced at each other, sharing a thought and laughed. "You two and your telepathic ways." Derek joked and they drank some more.

One hour until the New Year. The computerized voice said and Derek cheered from his swing (they let him up again). Though he wasn't drunk or intoxicated anymore, he was on a party high. He stood up on his swing when the candy started to fall. "That's right, my minions, grab the candy! Grab the candy!" He cackled maniacally. Some people started to pelt him with candy but he fired back, knowing very well what they might try. "That's right, run away! Oops." He sat back down when his gun fell from his grip. It was just in time for Logan Wright to come into the party. "Hey, Logan!"

Logan looked up to see the boy in stripped socks and shirt. He smiled a little bit at the other Derek. He waved. "Hi, other Derek."

The boy on the swing smiled, turned to face the crowd and locked his legs under him and flipped over. Logan was startled. "So, Logan, heard from Julian lately?"

"Not that recently." Logan said, trying to get around the upside down boy. "Excuse me, I have to," he started to say but Derek interrupted.

"Oh I know; looking for Kurt, try to steal him away from Blaine." Derek laughed. Logan was just stunned that this boy who he barely knew, knew what he was about to do. "Haven't taken your meds I see." Logan was getting uncomfortable.

"No, I – I didn't."

"I'm not stopping you." Derek sighed. "Wish I could, but I shouldn't. If you're looking, he's with Justin Bancroft."

"Thanks?" Logan stepped to the side, ready to look for Kurt.

"Oh and Logan?" He turned around and Derek was looking at him, still upside down. "You and Julian would look awesome as a couple."

Logan snorted. "That's sweet, and you seem drunk." At least Derek had an excuse now. "But Julian's straight."

"If you say so…" Derek sang and flipped himself up to the swing. "Go on, Knave! Find Alice!"

Someone should take him down from there before he hurts somebody. Logan thought as he weaved through the crowd. Found a full, discarded drink on a table. He picked it up and it looked safe enough to drink. So he took it with him.

Back at the swing, Reed walked nearby and he swung back upside down. Reed fell over. "Sorry, Reed!"

"It's okay, didn't see you there."

"Yeah, I'm like a ninja." Derek laughed. "I just saw Logan walk by."

"He's here already?"

"Looks like it!" He said cheerily. Everything's coming into place. "Go tell Blaine, quick!" The Dormouse nodded his head and ran to the Rabbit.

During the last few minutes of the year, Derek turned on his seat and looked at the dancing crowd instead of the elevator doors. In his vantage point, he could see the Windsor conspirators working their way through the crowd, looking for Kurt. He could help of course, but he was stuck on the swing. He couldn't signal himself down because the lights were keeping him from getting the controller's attention. All he could do was watch.

Two minutes to the New Year…

They had already lost Dormouse but Shane would find him soon. The Tweedles were trying to push through the crowd, trying to get the lights to stop flickering. The Mad Hatter would be trying to escape, wanting to call his Talking Flower. The Knave would be keeping Alice from looking for the others, the others who were near from what the little Rose could see from his perch. He cheered with the crowd as the foam descended. Finally, the White Queen would point out the Knave and Alice near the windows to the Rabbit.

One minute to the New Year…

Derek could see through the flickering lights and to the scene that was unfolding under people's noses. If only he could get there to hear it in time.

Thirty seconds to the New Year…

But he knew it would be too late. It doesn't matter; he already knew what would happen. Logan would be talking about why he didn't take his medication. And in the end, before Logan could kiss him, Kurt would admit that he loves Blaine. Blaine would hear and that was when all Derek's inner fanboy just exploded.

"Happy New Year!" Derek was shook out of his reverie and the lights went out. He was deprived of a New Year's kiss once again. Stupid swing. He waited and watched the shadows by the window. Logan pushed Kurt to Blaine and walked away. Poor thing, you'll get your happy ending… soon.

Finally the lights came back on and the confetti of gold exploded upon the guests. Derek cheered with the crowd. He turned to the DJ booth and he waved at the Tweedles. They asked if he wanted to go down via hand movements. Derek nodded. He had one last look at the crowd, Kurt and Blaine by the windows, Shane and Reed looking up to the lights.

Just like how CP wrote it…

He caught Logan leaving the site and he stepped in front of him. "You again."

"Me again." Derek said cheerily. "Say hi to Derek for me. And think about what I said about you and Julian." Then he skipped to the twins, leaving Logan bemused.

Just like how I like it…

Oh and one more thing. I was so tempted to choreograph a dance for the Me Against the Music dance Derek did because I've got a pretty good idea of it. But seeing I'm lacking in time and I have yet to enroll myself into college, I said to myself "fuck it" and then I did. I got pregnant with music babies.

Just wanted to share that.
