Hey everyone! I'm in the middle of taking regents, which are really hard New York State tests…. and it is the beginning of summer vacation so I'm just relaxing now, so this chapter is going to be rushed, in my opinion, and I might not update for a week or two. I don't want to drag the story out, since I have plans for what's to come. REVIEW!!

I don't own anything, as usual.

----------------------------------------------------♥

"No way! What are you guys doing here?" The blonde smiled and flipped her long hair to her back.

"Uh, well, Derek and I are touring the country before we go to college. What are you, um, doing here?' Casey stuttered and looked back and forth between them. Derek noticed she was getting annoyed so he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer.

"Well, Sam asked me out a month ago, and then last week, he surprised me with a trip to Disney World! Isn't that great?" She clapped her hands together and grinned. She kissed Sam, and then went on to say, "Sam and I are completely in love. Totally, right Sammie?"

"Uh, yeah Kendra. I love you too." Sam awkwardly smiled at Derek and Casey. The sound of the cars racing in Test Track roared in the background while the four of them just stood there

"Oh! So I see you and Derek are an item now, huh?" Kendra always knew how to keep a conversation flowing.

"Yeah, since around four days ago, actually!" Casey smiled and pecked Derek on the lips. He tried to deepen the kiss but Casey reluctantly pulled away "Save it for later." She whispered. Derek's eyes got very wide and he smiled like a child in a candy store.

"So, what are we still doing here? Let's go on rides!" Sam looked bored.

"Together? Like, double dating?" Derek pointed to Kendra.

"Why not?" Kendra shrugged.

They went on the huge Epcot ball, and every other ride they could see. Six long hours and many arguments later, Derek, Casey, Sam and Kendra decided to leave the park and grab some dinner together. They each went in separate cars, which gave Casey some time to complain to Derek

"I did not expect this to happen!" She said in hushed tones. "Why is my ex-boyfriend going out with your ex-girlfriend?"

"First off, I do not know why they are dating. They could say the same about us." Derek shrugged. Casey pouted her lip slightly. "Secondly, why are you whispering?"

Derek drove behind Sam and Kendra, and followed them into the parking lot of a steak house. Casey did not like where this was going.

----------------------------------------------------♥

The next day, Casey woke up with a stomachache. She curled up in Derek's bed after getting out of her own.

"Ooh, what's the occasion?" Derek turned around to face Casey. She groaned.

"Derek." Casey barley made out his name. "I. Don't. Feel so good." She covered her mouth.

"Case. Are you going to be all right? Because we don't have to go-" Casey cut his sentence off and ran into the bathroom. Derek heard all kinds of noises coming from Casey. He felt bad for her, and couldn't do anything about it. A few minutes later, a pale Casey emerged from the bathroom, with her hair messy and her pajamas all twisted.

"So, does this mean we don't get to go to MGM Studios?" Derek had to ask.

The entire second day they spent in Orlando, Derek was running back and forth to the nearest drug store, getting Casey various medications and magazines. The last time he went, when he came back, Casey was on her cell phone talking weakly with someone.

"Yeah, Derek and I think it might be food poisoning from dinner last night. A steak house. I will. Love you too. Bye." She pushed the end button and gave Derek a smile. "Hey, that was fast. You got the magazines I wanted, right?"

"Yes Casey. I did. Who was that on the phone?" Derek hauled the heavy shopping bag onto the bed, emptying it by Casey's feet.

"It was mom and George. I called to tell them I'm sick. They were really worried about me, but I convinced them not to fly down here."

"Wow. How did you do that?" Derek handed Casey her magazines.

"I just told them I was in very good hands." She smiled and winked at Derek. Looks like she's feeling a little better. Derek practically jumped on the bed, but restrained himself.

"Well, now. Are you literally in someone's hands?" Derek smiled.

"What do you mean?" Casey tilted her head to the side. Before she knew what was going on, Derek picked her up like he did at the basketball game. "Uh, Derek. I was just throwing up. Do you think picking me up is the smartest thing to do to me right now?"

"Oh, you want me to put you down now?" He put her down gently, but then kissed her on the lips. "Was that smart?"

"Yeah, that was all right." When he made a shocked face, she pecked him on the lips. They started to have a kissing fight until Casey had to run to the bathroom again. End of kissing fight.

----------------------------------------------------♥

Derek woke up the next morning, feeling sore and stiff. He looked around and noticed he was sitting up on an armchair. Casey was already up and dressed, sitting at the desk on her laptop. He stretched his arms, making her realize he was up.

"Morning sunshine! Ready for Magic Kingdom?" She was perky and had some color again.

"Uh, yeah. Feeling better today?" Derek walked over and looked at what she was doing on the laptop.

"Yes, I am. It was probably just some 24-hour bug, or food poisoning. I'm perfect now though!" She was reading her email that had been sitting in her inbox since they had left Canada. Derek read the one that was currently open, from Emily.

Hey Case. I thought you would want to know Kendra is now dating...you'll never guess…SAM! I know, crazy, right? But anyway, what's up with you? How's Derek? I cannot believe you get to spend a month on the road with just him. Lucky!!

Derek laughed at it. Emily's crush on Derek had died down a little since their pretend date, but it never fully went away. Who could blame her though?

Derek got dressed, and then they headed off to Magic Kingdom, the main park in Disney World.

"Derek lets go on Space Mountain!" Once they were inside, Casey was trying to avoid Sam and Kendra the entire time. She didn't even know if they were there or not.

Derek and Casey went on so many rides in such a short amount of time that even the physically fit hockey scholarship Derek was exhausted. Out of all the rides they went on, Derek's favorite was definitely the Dumbo ride. He wasn't a fan of roller coasters. Casey liked It's A Small World the most. It was so adorable!

----------------------------------------------------♥

"Derek, we have to go. We have a busy day today!" Casey clapped her hands twice and pulled the blankets off Derek. He was in his boxers, so he immediately opened his eyes and pulled the blanket back over his head. Casey was laughing at Derek, whose face was now red.

"What do you want?" Derek complained.

"I told you, we're going to MGM Studios today, since we couldn't go the other day, we have to go shopping, and we're leaving for Arizona! Let's go Derry!"

Once they were both up and ready to go, they went to their car, only to find Kendra and Sam waiting by it.

"Oh, um, hey guys! What are you doing here?" Casey did not want to double date again. It was awkward.

"We just had so much fun the other day, and wanted to know if you wanted to come shopping with us and maybe out to lunch?" Kendra was too hopeful. Casey began to open her mouth say reject the offer, when Derek injected himself into the conversation.

"We'd love to. We're going to spend a few hours at MGM first though. How about we meet at our hotel around two-ish?" He pointed up at the huge building.

"Sounds good! See you then!" Kendra waved, looking at Derek. Casey rolled her eyes.

Derek and Casey drove over to MGM Studios. They went straight to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Casey was actually chosen to be the contestant, but they were not giving out money, much to Derek's dismay. They went on the Back lot tour, and a movie ride that scared Casey to the point where she was clinging to Derek's arm.

"Well, that was interesting." Casey linked her arm with Derek as they were walking back to the car. "So now we have to go meet up with them." She shuddered.

"Why are you so against Sam and Kendra?" Derek unlinked his arm and looked directly at Casey.

"I-I'm not against them! I'm happy for them. I'm glad they're together. I…I…" Derek watched as Casey's face fell. "Okay, I'm not happy for them as much as I should be. I've always thought of Sam as, well, taken. And don't get me wrong, I am so much happier with you, but it's weird going on a double date with a guy whose lips touched a girl whose lips touched you." Casey took a deep breath. Man, could she rant.

"So, you're telling me you still have feelings for Sam? When you're my girlfriend?" Derek looked genuinely hurt.

"NO! No, no, no. That's all wrong. I like you, Derek. Not Sam. Well, not Sam now. But I did like Sam. But I don't anymore. What I'm trying to say is-" Casey stopped rambling when she realized Derek wasn't listening. Now she was the hurt one.

Derek stopped the car next to Sam and Kendra's car a few minutes later. "Hey Sam. Uh, listen. Do you want to go find some hockey stuff with me? Let Casey and Kendra go do their own thing?" Sam agreed, leaving Casey and Kendra alone.

"So, Kendra. What college are you going to?" Casey tried to make small talk while looking for the store Kendra wanted to go to.

"I'm going to the University of Toronto in the fall. Majoring in elementary education!" Kendra grinned.

"Oh, how nice! Why did you pick Toronto?" Casey went with the flow of the conversation.

"Sam got a hockey scholarship there. I can't imagine leaving him and seeing him only on weekends!" She laughed. Casey just nodded.

Meanwhile, Derek and Sam walked until Derek found a jeweler. "Man, why are we going here? I thought you said-"

"I know, I know. I don't really want to look for hockey stuff. You can't tell anyone what I'm about to tell you." Sam nodded. "Every city Casey and I go to, I'm buying her a charm for her charm bracelet. At first, I had no idea why I was doing it, but I'm pretty sure I know now. Just, go with it, okay?" Derek never admitted what he was doing out loud. It felt good.

"Sure man. I think that's really nice. Why are you doing it if it's so nice?" They both laughed, but then Derek got serious.

"Now that, I can not tell you." He patted Sam on the back and went to pick out a charm.

----------------------------------------------------♥

"Yeah, so I think Derek is mad at me because it's like I'm kissing you! You know, because you've kissed him and it's like a whole kissing triangle!" She threw her hands in the air in defeat. "And I don't know what to do!" Casey crinkled her nose and waited for Kendra to advise her.

"Wow, Case. Next time I wont ask what's new." She laughed at her own joke, but Casey just stared at her. "Okay then. Anyway, I'm sure he's not mad at you. If you want I can talk to him!"

"No, no. That's ok. I have to work this out myself. Let's just shop now."

----------------------------------------------------♥

Once everyone was done shopping and talking, Sam and Derek met Casey and Kendra at a small café near their hotel and ate a small dinner before Casey and Derek had to leave.

"It was nice running in to you here, Kendra. Good luck in college! You'll make a great teacher!" Casey and Kendra hugged, while Sam and Derek shook hands.

"Bye, man. Have fun playing hockey and with Kendra. She can be a handful." Derek smirked and Sam rolled his eyes.

"Tell me about it."

"Let's go Case. We're practically driving across the country, I want to get a head start!" Derek started their car and waited for Casey. Once she was in and buckled, he drove towards the highway.

----------------------------------------------------♥

About six hours into driving in the dead of night, Derek's phone rang, almost simultaneously after Casey's rang, both with frantic parents on the other end.

"What happened to Edwin?" Derek and Casey both screamed at the same time.

----------------------------------------------------♥

Ooooh sorry for the cliffy! In case you forgot, Derek and Casey were headed for Arizona, for some Grand Canyon fun! Review to find out what happened to Edwin!!
