Life with Derek belongs to Disney. I own nothing.
In her room, Casey hummed happily as she took her clothes and put them in the suitcase she had grabbed from the hall. Finally! I get to get out of this place! she thought excitedly. Presently, Lizzie came in.
"So...you're really doing it?" she queried.
"Yeah," Casey responded. Then, "Hey, why don't you come with? We can both get out of here."
"I like it here, Case," Lizzie responded.
"You like it here? With the Derek the Creep?" Casey questioned.
"Let's not fight," Lizzie decided. "Can I help?" she offered.
"Sure," Casey answered. Meanwhile, Nora was on the phone talking to her ex-husband, Rick.
"Yeah, Rick. She's just not happy here. She said she wants to go live with you," she stated.
"Yeah, that'd be fine. I mean, I have the guestroom and everything," Rick answered. As the two hashed out the details, Derek was busy gloating to Marti.
"Isn't this great, Marti? One down, one to go," he crowed. He didn't seem to notice when his younger sister didn't respond. Just then, eleven-year old Edwin Venturi came downstairs.
"Hey, what's going on?" he wondered. "I just saw Lizzie and Casey packing," he continued.
"Casey's leaving. She's moving back with her dad," Derek replied.
"Yes!" Edwin cheered. He and his older brother slapped five.
"Well, I don't think it's so great!" Marti burst out, unable to keep quiet any longer. "I'm going to miss her!" she continued. Then, before anyone could stop her, she ran up the stairs.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
I'm not too sure how Edwin feels about the MacDonalds, but of what I saw, he seemed to copy Derek, so that's why he's happy that Casey's leaving and I figured Marti would probably miss Casey because she had gotten used to having her there. By the way, does anybody know how long it takes to transfer school records and stuff? I want to make this as realistic as possible.
