Hi all! Just a new chapter. I'm starting school this Wednesday so I think I'll be reverting back to the whole one chapter a week thing. It'll be fun. I hope I don't forget.

Accioklaine, remind me on tumblr if I'm late or something... Enjoy the chapter!

The next day, it was insanely warm under his blankets, too warm for Derek's taste. He squirmed a little bit and turned over just to hit another body. His eyes flashed open to be greeted by Ethan. He squeaked in surprise and turned around to see Evan. "Good morning, Rose." Their voices echoed in the room. It was good to know that he was still in Dalton.

"W-Woah!" Terry was shocked out of his slumber the sudden outburst of the twins and flailed off the bed.

"Good morning." Derek croaked and tried to cover his morning breath. "What are you doing here?"

"Picking you up."

"And we bought tea!"

"We put some lemon juice in it."

"Just how you like it!"

"And a sandwich."

"It has Hungarian sausage."

"How did you two get in?" Terry demanded from the floor.

"The locks in this dorm are lame." Ethan said. "It was easy."

"Anyway, time to get ready, Rose!" Derek sat up and reached over for the cup of tea and sipped it. They sat up too and Terry just looked at them disbelievingly before jumping back in bed.

"What are we doing today?"

"Causing trouble in Windsor –"

"As always." They grinned and leaned their heads on Derek's shoulders. He couldn't help but blush and continued to sip his tea then he reached for the sandwich.

"Give me fifteen minutes to get ready, okay?" Derek said and the twins nodded against his shoulders. The gesture felt like they were nuzzling, not that he minded or anything. He felt a little downcast when he thought of the fact that this would have to end soon and he would be forced to go back to real life. Unless time went by faster here… That would really be awesome. But he felt it in his gut, he couldn't explain why he knew he had to leave soon, he just felt it. Like there was a nagging feeling of "you have to get out of there!"

And yet, he didn't want to go.

When he finished the sandwich he jumped out of bed, grabbed some clothes from the closet and took a shower.

"Let's go!" He said when he came out of the bathroom and gleefully latched his arms around their arms and left. It was a bit of a walk from Hanover to Windsor, they passed the time by talking. "So you're grounded, huh?" That was one of the topics when Windsor house was on the horizon.

"Yup, we're detained here in Ohio."

"Our limo and platinum cards have been confiscated."

"But that just means –"

"– we can't go outside Ohio."

"It doesn't mean that we can't have fun here." Ethan reached over a bush and pulled out a Nerf gun and ammo. Evan reached into another and pulled out two, handing one to Derek. Ethan casually handed out the ammo. The extra bullets were clipped to their pants. "We'll give you until the count of five to find a fort."

"One…"

Derek chuckled and ran behind a tree surrounded by a few bushes. They reached the last number it everything went quiet. Crap, Derek thought, they could be anywhere. Ethan and Evan were crouching, ready to pounce. Evan circled to the left of the tree while Ethan continued forward, they loved playing with Derek.

As for the boy behind the tree, he raised his gun, not sure where they are. Suddenly a Nerf bullet missed his nose and he whipped his head to the left and saw Evan coming towards him. Derek ran to the other side of the tree only to be hit by Ethan. He laughed and Derek shot at him.

Their laughter didn't go unheard when some of the Windsors were driving by eager to come back to their dorm. They watched as the lone Hanover was being pelted by bullet after bullet, shouting, "no fair! There are two of you!" He ran away from them, shooting the occasional shot.

"Should we help?" Asked one sophomore to a senior as they surveyed the scene.

"Evan! Derek got my gun!"

"That's right! Run, Tweedles, run!" Derek cackled as he chased the boys with two Nerf guns in his hands.

The senior shook his head. "Nah, he'll be fine."

"Who's running now?" Evan asked when they managed to pull the guns out of Derek's hands. After a few minutes, Derek called a truce and they went back to Windsor positively sweating with joy.

Derek met Reed at the doors and the artist immediately asked, "What have you done to him?" And he had to admit, rolling on the ground and diving under bushes wasn't the cleanest thing to do, considering he just took a bath.

"We did nothing!"

"We had fun!" They defended; they too were covered in sweat, dirt, and twigs.

"Well," Reed said, "you three need to get cleaned."

"Do I have to go back to Hanover?" Derek asked. "I don't want to walk! I just got here!"

Reed chuckled and said, "No, you don't have to, you can borrow some of my clothes." And led him away from the Tweedles.

"See you later!" Derek called over his shoulder, they waved. "And Reed… thanks but I don't think it's advisable for me to wear designer clothes, I mean the twins could attack any minute!"

"I know." Reed smiled. "But it's okay; I'll give you the old ones." And he pulled out a twig from Derek's hair. "If you can only see the state of your body right now." They shared a laugh and he got pulled into Reed and Kurt's room. The first thing he wanted to do was jump on the white padding on Reed's side. It was exactly as Dwight described it, "fluffy and cloudy".

"I love what you've done with the place. This room is so pretty, Kurt would approve… And I think Dwight would die in this room."

Reed snorted as he opened the partition and looked for some clothes. There was a thump when he hit a shelf. "I'm okay!" Then he pulled out some shorts and a shirt. "Here, go get those dirty things off, I'll have them cleaned and send them back to Hanover." After the whole change of outfit, Derek fell on the couch of the lavish dorm room.

"Thanks Reed."

"No problem." And he sat up on the bed. "You, Evan and Ethan are getting a bit serious, huh?"

"Maybe." Derek chuckled. "I don't know, there's nothing official, though Julian said we're 'dating'. Should I do something?"

"You're talking to the wrong person." Reed chuckled.

"I know, I was just thinking aloud." And he got a face full of pillow then pulled it off. "Reed, do I spend too much time here in Windsor?"

"Not really too much time. Most days you're out at Hanover, probably hanging out with Terry and Merril. Sometimes you just come over because the twins bring you over." Reed answered. "Why?"

"I don't know. I just feel like I'm neglecting my house." He chuckled and there was a sudden explosion that caused him to scream and cover his face. Reed hardly batted at an eye but he laughed at Derek's expense. "I will never get used to that. Won't Drew and Satoru get injured from those explosions?"

"I ask myself the same question."

"Do you hear that?" Derek asked and they heard a melody coming from outside. "Trashin' the Camp!" He realized and jumped over the couch to open the door. The sound was amazing and he followed the melody. He turned to Reed and smiled. "Shall we join them?"

He smiled. "We shall!" He jumped from the bed, tripped and got back up, they sang with the other Windsor warblers. Derek swayed and twirled with Reed as they sang around the second floor. He saw Kurt coming into the place and waved. The others motioned for him to join as Reed led Derek towards the new arrival. Kurt shook his head but Derek and Reed pulled at him until he gave in. What fun Derek had!

When the song ended and the applause subsided he was flanked by the twins, and Reed smirked knowingly as he walked towards the other pair, Kurt and Blaine. The three linked their arms together and followed the artist.

Derek had to resist saying "I'm your biggest fan, Klaine! You can show me displays of disgusting attraction anytime". But he didn't trust opening his mouth so he just let everyone else do their talk.

"Wow, it's barely been a couple of days and you two are already PDA-ing in the halls," Evan sighed dramatically.

"You should be ashamed, Blaine!" Ethan said in mock rebuke. "You know that such displays are forbidden!"

"In the academic buildings and the open grounds? Yes. But I didn't read anything about all this not being allowed in the Windsor House rules." Blaine grinned, pulling Kurt just a little bit closer, enough for the others to take notice and erupt into snickering. The countertenor turned scarlet and peeled himself off him for a moment, but he kept their hands together. "You're the two to talk!" And then he nodded at their linked arms.

"In my defense, linking arms isn't really a public display of affection." Derek said and unlinked his arms from the twins to link it to Reed's. "I dare you to reprimand me now, I freakin' dare you!"

"He's got you there." Reed said cheerily. "And you're the prefect! You make the rules." He remarked.

"Very funny," Kurt replied, raising an elegant eyebrow. "Let's not get me into any more trouble than I'm already in. I'd like to remind you all that most of the reason why I'm behind in the workload is because all of you make it nearly impossible to focus for more than an hour." He picked up his bag and his suitcase and headed to his room. The others, predictably, followed him.

"And it promises to become even more tedious!" Kurt added as he walked. "What's going on? Is the school being used as a set or something?"

Reed looked confused as he walked with him, trying to help him pull the stroller bag but got his hand swatted away by Kurt who didn't want him to get cut on the nametags. "What do you mean? Oh! You mean Julian!"

"We thought he was expelled, apparently not." Evan said.

"He goes here?" Kurt said, confused.

"Yeah," Ethan nodded, looking a little more serious as they stopped outside of Kurt's room. "And he's one of Logan's wingmen. So watch out for him."

And there it was… the missing scene. Derek realized that since the twins took him out yesterday, they didn't bother Blaine to meet Kurt. Since they didn't bother him, they didn't go and Logan didn't see them, thus prompting him to go to the Hummel residence. Blaine didn't have to meet Kurt's parents. Kurt didn't get mad at Logan. They wouldn't end up stealing Pavarotti. Derek half expected the world to collapse or at least for CP to somehow appear and point at him and say "you're not supposed to be here!"

Instead of CP coming, it was Dwight. He peered out of the salt lined doorway and lifted his sprayer up a little bit. "… I sense a disturbance." All the others paused and blinked for a couple of seconds before continuing to Kurt and Reed's room. Dwight glared at Derek for a moment before following them.

"What happened?" Dwight asked, poking his head in and frowning at it all. "It looks like a penthouse! It's fluffy and cloudy!"

"I'm sorry if my aesthetics irritate your desire for the 'Addams Family Funeral' look," Reed mumbled, looking stung.

"Well, technically, if it's the Addams Family, it'll be more of a fun-neral." Derek said out of nowhere, earning a strange look from everyone except the twins who were chuckling.

"It looks great, Reed, don't listen to Dwight," Kurt shot the spiritualist a look before going over to his friend, giving him a hug.

"Told you he'd like it." Derek nudged.

"So the one padded to extreme levels is your end?" Kurt looked around. "It…looks a bit smaller than it used to, though." He blinked, and realized what it was. The third area, where another bed was supposed to be, was blocked off by large carved panels. "…is this even allowed?"

"They give us free reign in our rooms as long as we can pay for any damage and restoration," Blaine shrugged in answer, already knowing what was going on.

"Yes, yes," Reed grinned, heading to the partition. "I remember that you and I had an understanding. About my closet." And he pushed the partition open.

It took a few moments of stunned staring into what might have been fashion Valhalla before Blaine finally smiled with great patience and took Kurt's elbow. "Let's go sit down…"

"But…" Kurt couldn't stop staring, and Reed was giggling behind the shelf, trying to keep himself upright and nearly knocking over a decorative bell.

"Let's go…come on, let's get you unpacked…" Blaine patiently pried Kurt's fingers from the partition and led him away with a smile on his face.

"But…!"

"Kurt," Blaine gave him that smile that usually got to Kurt. Finally, Kurt turned away from the sight and allowed himself to be led away. A couple of hours later, all of the boys were done helping Kurt unpack You'd think that a bunch of boys could get everything unpacked in a matter of minutes but the twins decided to have a pillow fight that lasted a little over an hour. And Kurt decided to bring Blaine over to his house to meet his parents that weekend, much to the boys' joy. Last Derek saw, Kurt was lingering in the closet and Reed was beaming beside him.

"Bye Kurt, bye Reed!" Derek waved. Kurt sort of lifted his hand before touching a jacket. Reed walked over to Derek. "Don't let him sleep there. Remember to feed him, water him and make sure he has a bit of sunlight."

Reed chuckled. "I will. And I'm sure Kurt is thankful for your unpacking help."

"I'll see you soon." Derek turned around and the twins were smiling at him. They started to walk to the dorm entrance "And you two, don't bother Kurt, he'll need to study."

"You're spending too much time with Merril." Evan chuckled. "You're starting to sound just like her."

"That's not true!"

"Kinda is." They shrugged. Derek rolled his eyes and smacked their arms playfully.

"I'll be going now; I've got to chat with Julian." He said and waved when they reached the door. He pulled out his phone and sent a text to the actor to meet him near the pathway to Hanover. He saw the actor walking towards him, waving. This was going to be easier than he thought.

"Hey, Derek! Long-time no see!" Julian said and gave him a quick hug.

"Likewise, Ches." Derek smiled up at the taller boy, who scowled at me. "Wanna walk around?"

Julian shrugged. "Sure." And they started to walk. Derek started to ask about movie Julian did when he left for Dalton. Julian answered readily, not giving anything important away. Then Derek asked about the Something Damaged cast… It was a long conversation about Julian's life as an actor. At some point, Julian turned the conversation around, asking him about the twins and the party. Derek was teased mercilessly every time he blushed, and he started calling Julian a "bad kitty", much to the actor's dismay. Then there was silence as the day started to turn into the night.

"Julian, how long have we been friends?" Derek asked.

He thought about it for a few seconds before saying, "since freshman year, somewhere in the middle of it. You were a self-proclaimed 'big fan of yours, Mr. Julian!'." Then he laughed. Derek rolled his eyes and asked another question.

"Do you consider us close friends?"

"…Yeah, I guess so." Derek stopped walking, making Julian a little curious to where this conversation is going. "Why? Are you coming on to me? Because I'm not sure the twins will handle it well." He chuckled.

"No," Derek smiled, "it's not that. I know what you are Julian." He couldn't help but say it in an ominous voice and he shook with held down laughter. Julian went stiff and his eyebrows rose. "You're bi."

"Did the twins tell you that? I'm going to –"

"No they didn't, I figured out." Derek bluffed, he didn't exactly know how to explain "No, they didn't, I've been reading this story in another dimension and this is the chapter you came back, a few chapters later we find out you're bi and that you're madly in love with Logan. Then I got stuck in this elevator and got transferred to your dimension. I am now using my knowledge to get you and Logan together." It would most likely have him sent to a fictional mental institution. And Julian bought his bluff.

"So it's true?" He asked, genuinely surprised. "You don't have to be ashamed, or scared, I won't tell anyone."

"I know, it's just… Is it that obvious?"

"You're not exactly oozing with it." Derek chuckled. "But I can tell. I'm psychic like that." Julian laughed dryly.

"Right, psychic, okay."

"Yup, I'm gay, I'm psychic, I'm funny, I need my own TV show and I'll call it 'That's So Derek'."

Julian shook his head and slapped Derek behind his head.

"You can trust me, you know. I'm from Hanover, who else would you trust?" Derek joked and punched Julian's arm. "Oh, and weren't we supposed to have some coffee?"

"We're near Stuart. I'm sure they won't mind if you keep quiet." Derek made a motion that looked like he was zipping his mouth and stuck his thumb up. Goodie! I'm going to Stuart! As they entered, Logan passed by and Derek saw the sudden brightness in Julian's eyes and his heart quickened, his Jogan heart, that is.

"Hey, Jules." Oh, my God, he called him Jules! "Hello, other Derek… What's he doing here?"

"Coffee!" Derek exclaimed brightly, like it would explain everything. Julian glanced at him before looking back at Logan.

"We're having a friendly bonding session." He said. "And I can bring my friends anywhere I damn well please."

"No need to get bitchy." Logan smirked. He smirked at Julian, oh, my God, he's obviously flirting with him. Oh wait... Scratch that, Logan! Open your eyes! You're doing so many things to this boy! And then he walked away.

Derek watched as Julian's eyes followed Logan and he nudged the actor. "Stop drooling and lead me to your coffee room." Julian flushed.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Uh huh." Derek said, disbelievingly. He already dropped the bi bomb on Julian; he couldn't drop the Logan bomb the same day… Unless he's prompted to.

They made coffee with one of the dozen machines in the kitchen and they sat beside the counter. Julian was sharing more stories about the two months he was gone since Derek couldn't share anything much. He couldn't… It was like he had amnesia and the last 16 years of his life just disappeared. But that wasn't really the case, it was the fact he made a trans-dimensional leap. Luckily the only one who suspects is Dwight. And by extension, CP who probably sensed a disturbance in her brain… Come to think of it, maybe he was in her brain.

Derek Seigerson came in. "Breaker, Merril called, she said you're missing the dinner and movie night. Says it's your turn?"

"Oops, well, I better go now then." He smiled at the two. "I hope you have a nice night!" Why did Hanover have to be so freakin' far away!
