AN: After Alexander recovered from his head injuries, he and Derek were back to their old tricks. R&R!

Chapter Nine

Alexander and Derek were sitting in Derek's living room, doing nothing as usual. That's when Derek got a brilliant idea.

"Alexander, do you still know how to make Gherkin bombs?" Derek asked.

"Yeah, Derek, why do you ask?" Alexander responded.

"Come on." Derek said. Alexander followed him into his kitchen. Alexander got peanut butter, mustard, ketchup, and put it into a ziplock bag and put in the microwave.

"Might I ask what the hell you are doing?" Alexander asked Derek as he took the bag out of the microwave.

" I am going to hit Casey with this as soon as she comes home." Derek said.

"God, you really are a piece of work." Alexander said. "Why are you doing this?"

"I am going to get her back for getting me into trouble yesterday." Derek said.

"Might I ask what did you do?" Alexander asked, knowing that it was something stupid.

"I sort of broke the lock on her door and locked her in her room last night." Derek said.

Alexander just stared at him.

"It was an accident!" Derek said.

"Whatever." Alexander said, shaking his head. They were interrupted by a key turning in the lock at the front door. Derek peeked around the corner, and whispered to Alexander, "It's showtime."

As soon as the door opened, Derek rounded the corner, and winged the Gherkin bomb at Casey. Alexander and Derek saw it splatter all over her. The thing was, it wasn't Casey.

It was Nora.

Alexander and Derek looked as if they were deer caught in headlights. Nora ran her hand across her face, and looked at the mess on her hand. Then she turned her death glare onto Derek and Alexander.

"Hello, Mrs. McDonald, you are looking lovely today."Alexander said, hoping that would calm her down.

It didn't work.

Nora sat down her purse, and calmly walked towards Derek and Alexander.

"I think that it is time for me to go." Alexander said running out the back door.

"Don't you dare leave me here!" Derek said, running after him. The two ran out to the corner of the street were they caught their breath.

"Why didn't you look to see who it was !?" Alexander yelled at Derek.

"I thought it was Casey!" Derek yelled back. Derek saw that Alexander had a look of horror on his face. Alexander pointed behind him and saw that Nora was running at them!

"Run! Run!" Derek said as they ran up the street.
