Chapter Two: Pack Rat

Derek stretched his arms as he yarned. He sat up in his bed and looked at his alarm clock. 12:00. Perfect he still had 12 more hours to pack and do whatever he wanted. He slowly and very lazily walked out of his bedroom and into the hall. He noticed the light in Casey's room was on, so he pushed the door.

Casey jumpped as she heard her door open to reveal Derek. He lazily plopped down on her bed, messing up the sheets that she'd just made.

"How could you do so many things in so little time?", Derek asked looking around at the suitcases of "Casey" items.

"I got up at five. I couldn't sleep much.", she sighed.

"Well I could. Maybe after you're done you can pack for me.", Derek added as he walked out of her room. Her answer was a stuff animal thrown in his face. He smiled as he shook his head and walked down the stairs.

Nora sat at the table with a cup of coffee. She had a rough night last night. Only because she was scared of the idea of Casey being away without her. She kept telling herself that Casey was a smart girl and could handle herself but she still had her motherly fears.

George took a seat across from her. He placed his coffee to his lips and took a big slurp. He placed it down and looked at Nora.

"So are you going to tell me what's wrong or will I have to make you?", he asked.

"Oh just worried about Casey. I know she can handle herself but she's still my little girl.", Nora sighed. George placed his two hands over Nora's.

"Casey's growing up. And she's a good kid. She studies, she doesn't drink, smoke, or do drugs, and she doesn't party. She has a good head on her shoulders.", he smiled warmly.

"Yeah I know.", she nodded, She sighed as she rose from her seat and placed her cup in the sink.

"What up dad and Nora.", Derek asked as he walked through the door.

"Derek did you even being packing?", George asked.

"Not yet. But I will.", he pointed.

"Okay but be sure to. You're leaving tomorrow in the morning", George reminded him.

"I know, I know.", Derek waved as he walked into his room. He openned his door to see Casey packing his clothes.

"I was joking.", he smirked.

"I know, but you'll be too lazy earlier.", she sighed. Derek shrugged as he grabbed a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. He walked into the bathroom and changed. He walked back into his room and sat in front of his computer.

He sighed on to his instant message to see that DerekFAN444 had left him a message.

"Case, Emily left you a message. Come talk to her and I'll finish packing.", he ordered, Casey nodded as she walked over to the computer.

DerekFAN444: Hey Derek, get Casey 4 me.

HockeyCHAMP21: U really need 2 change ur screen name.

DerekFAN444: Hey y r u in Derek's room?

HockeyCHAMP21: I was packing for him. He was 2 lazy 2 start.

DerekFAN444: Ha Ha. Don't U just love him?

HockeyCHAMP21: Uhh no. He's my step brother.

"Case, that hurt. You don't love the Derek?", Derek asked from behind Casey. She gasped as she hit him's arm.

DerekFAN444: Oh well I love him. LOL. I gotta go Case. Bye!

DerekFAN444 has signed off. Casey turned her attention to Derek, who was just throwing his clothes in his bag instead of folding them neatly.

"Derek!", she shouted as she ran over to his bag.

"What?", he asked, mocking her.

"You're not folding.', she sighed, holding up a wrinkled shirt.

"And?", he asked slightly confessed.

"And they're going to be wrinkled if you don't fold them. Move.", she ordered as she begin to fix the mess that he had created.

"Gladly.", he smirked. Derek walked over to his radio and placed his favorite c.d. on. Plus he knew Casey hated it. Although they made that agreement not to argue he still had the urge to make her aggravated.

I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you
I could be fake
I coulld be stupid
You know I could be just like you

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

I could be cold
I could be ruthless
You know I could be just like you
I could be weak
I could be senseless
You know I could be just like you

On my own
Cause I can't stand living with you
I'm alone
So I won't turn out like you want me to

Casey covered her ears in protest. She hated Three Days Grace. She hated every single song that they had written. She hated rock in general. Ever since she heard the words "If he breaks your heart kill him" she'd stop listening to it. It was just so rude and unpleasant. Casey was the kind of girl to listen to pop or hip hop. Something that didn't envolve killing people or killing yourself. Derek however, on the other hand, loved rock. It was the only music he listened to, besides rap. As a matter of fact, Casey didn't know why he liked it so much. Probably cause it fit his bad boy act and made he seem bad to the bone.

"DEREK SHUT THAT OFF!", Casey shouted above the music.

"WHAT!", Derek shouted back, pressing his hand against his ear.

"TURN THAT OFF!", Casey shouted.

"WHAT! PUT IT LOUDER? OKAY!", Derek smirked as he turned the volume knob to the maximum. He smirked as Casey stormed off to his wall and unplugged it.

"I said turn that off.", she frowned as she turned the plug in her hands.

"Oh my bad. I thought you said turn it up.", Derek smiled evilly.

"Whatever Derek. I'm done packing so later. Lizzie wants to play a game of Go Fish with her and Marti.", Casey waved. She sighed as she heard Derek following her.

"You really thought you could get ride of me that easy?", he asked. Casey rolled her eyes as she walked into the dining room. Lizzie and Marti were already seated and had the cards all ready. Casey pulled a seat besides Lizzie and Derek followed. Only he sat besides Marti.

"Okay let's make this interesting. Okay over the summer we both have to write letters to each other every week explaining what's happening. But the loser will have to send 20 bucks with each letter.", Derek explained.

"What! That's crazy!", Casey half shouted. Derek was so cheap. Trying to get money from an innocent game of Gold Fish with their younger sisters.

"What's to matter Case? Not scared are we?", Derek smirked as he saw Casey's face tighten.

"Of course not. Deal.", Casey glared at Derek. He nodded as his smirked grew into a smile.

Edwin walked to the back of his yard. Him and his dad had an important mission today. Very important. George came out in a blue leather suit with a shield over his face.

"Got the poison?", he asked his son.

"Got it.", Edwin replied handing him a bottled marked "Weed Kill".

"Perfect.", George nodded. He poured half of the bottle into Edwin and his spray bottles. He added a little water and squirted his bottle to make sure it was working.

"On your mark. Get set. Go!", Edwin shouted as he ran to one side of the yard, his dad on the other. They fiercely begin pushing the handle, causing many tiny droplets of poison to fall on the ground below. If they keep this pace going they could have all the weeds gone by tonight.

Meanwhile in the kitchen, the score was McDonald's 2. Venturi's 3. Casey glared at Derek to catch him in the act. He had to be cheating. No one ever beated her at Go Fish. She was the all time champ.

"Case, got a 4?", Derek asked. Casey frowned as she threw him the card.

"Make that 4 to 2.", Marti grinned. Lizzie rolled her eyes as she added one more tally mark on the Venturi's score board side.

"Case, got a 3?", Marti asked. She wasn't as good as Derek but she was good. Derek was the all time champ at Go Fish. No one in her entire family ever beat him.

"Go fish. ", Casey smirked. Marti frowned as she searched through the pile of cards. She withdrew one and showed it to Derek. He nodded as he turned his attention back to the game.

"Derek, do you have a 6?", Lizzie asked as she looked down at her deck, She had a six. seven, ten, eight, and two.

Derek looked at Casey then at Lizzie then back to Casey before throwing her his card. Casey grinned as Lizzie added a tally mark to their side. They were catching up quickly.

"Derek, got a 9?", Casey smiled. She had a nine,five, seven, three, and an eight. She knew Lizzie and her would win. After all no one has ever beaten her.

"Nope. Go Fish.", Derek smirked. Casey ruffled her hand through the stack of cards. She withdrew one and looked at it. A ten. Now she would have a better chance at winning another pair from Derek and Marti and one step closer to winning twenty bucks a week.

Meanwhile outside Edwin and George was sitting under a tree with Nora on the side of them. George and Edwin had pushed it over the top. With it being 88 degrees outside they were bond to catch a heat stroke.

"You two should have taken a break. ", Nora raised her eyebrow's at the two men.

"We know. We know, but we did it.", George smiled as he extended his hand towards Edwin.

"No mission is impossible.", he smiled as he slapped his hand against his father's hand.

"Well just drink something or take a break next time.", Nora chuckled as she walked towards her home. She had to order the plane tickets that Casey and Derek would be using. She had to admit she was going to miss them. After all they are only 15 years old, but she knew Casey would be a responsible young lady and be careful. Derek might get into some trouble, but Nora knew he could be responsible if he wanted to. As she sat down on the couch she looked at her phone. In twenty- five minutes her children would have their tickets to Russia and Tokyo. She gulped as she dialed the number to the loco airport.

"Hello, yes Hi. I'm Nora McDonald and what I need today is to buy two plane tickets. Yes, one to Moscow, Russia and one to Shinjuku. Okay great, I'll pay tomorrow at the airport. Okay Bye-bye.", Nora smiled. She sighed as she placed the phone back onto the receiver. She smiled as she remembered when Casey was just five years old. They had gone to the beach that day. Casey was slashing in the water as the sunset. She was having the time of her life with her mom and sister. Nora's smile turned into a frown as she thought that tomorrow Casey would be having the time of her life without them.

Casey and Lizzie were neck and neck with Derek and Marti. The score had been tied for the last five minutes. McDonald's 5 and Venturi's 5. The game was almost over and there was only four more cards. Whoever won the two pairs of cards would be the winner.

"Okay look. We're obviously both good at this game so let's split it. We each send ten.", Casey suggested.

"But you would get you're money back.", a confessed Derek said.

"Exactly, that way you could have your little bet and I wouldn't lose any money.", Casey smiled.

" Okay I guess.", Derek shrugged. He walked over to one of the cabinets and pulled him a cup. He poured him a glass of Dr. Pepper and walked back over to the table to see Nora walking in.

"Casey, Derek. Your plane ticket's are booked. We have to buy them tomorrow morning. Which means you'll have to get up at four to be ready for six. So set your alarm clocks.", Nora sighed.

"SIX IN THE MORNING!", Derek shouted. There was no way that he could get up at six o' clock in the morning.

"Mom couldn't they schedule it later? Like at eight?", Casey asked calmly.

"I don't think so. The flight leaves at six thirty.", she sighed.

Casey moaned as she walked the opposite way. It was 3:30. She had enough time to go to the mall and get a few outfits for Russia and maybe even a digital camera. She walked into her room and headed straight for her closet. She grabbed a pink cami with a pair of blue jeans. She grabbed her make-up bag as she slipped into a pair of black boots. She applied a light touch of eye shadow, blush, and lip gloss before heading out the door.

"Where you going?", Derek asked from behind Casey. She stopped in her tracks.

"The mall.", she answered still in her same position.

"Wait up.", Derek ordered as he locked his door. He walked beside Casey and pulled her downstairs with him.

"Going to the mall!", Casey called as she grabbed her purse. She shut the door behind her before getting into the minivan. The ride to the mall was quiet. Too quiet. So Derek being Derek turned on the radio.

Boy you know you got me feeling open
And boy your loves enough with words unspoken
I said boy I'm feeling you, you got me open
I don't know what to do its true
I'm going crazy over you I'm begging

Casey turned the key causing the engine to die down. She openned her door and walked in front of the car waiting for Derek. He walked out and walked beside her.

"What you getting?", Derek asked as he turned towards Casey.

"Clothes. You?", she smiled.

"Girls.", he replied with a smirk as he headed into the direction of two blondes. Casey rolled her eyes as she walked into her favorite store, Stage. Casey scanned through the roles of clothes. She had found one outfit she liked. A blue knee length skirt with a white button up shirt with quarter length sleeves. Casey smiled as she looked through the different outfits. She was growing up. And she knew it.

Derek walked with a girl in each arm. He had the life. Everyone wanted to be him or wanted him. Well almost everyone. There was one girl who didn't want him and he didn't want her. Casey McDonald. She was his step sister, so it really didn't matter. Derek stopped as he stared at Casey. She was wearing a tight black cami with a pair of army capris. He dropped his arms as he walked through the store.

"You're not getting that.", he pointed.

"Why not? Mother?", Casey arched an eyebrow at him.

"Because…", Derek stuttered, "Because Russia's a cold country."

"Really? Then why is it 87 degrees on the internet?", she asked.

"Because whoever put it up there's an idiot.", he sighed as he walked out. What had just happened to him. Seeing Casey in that outfit drove him crazy. He thought about all the guys that would be all over her. But why was he all over it? She's his step sister . Derek shrugged it off. It probably only drove him crazy because he couldn't have her. Another girl to add to his collection.

Casey searched for Derek everywhere. She'd found herself five outfits and she loved every last on of them. Casey walked slowly as she searched for her step brother. She wondered where he went after his sudden out burst about her outfit. Casey laughed out loud at the thought of Derek telling her she couldn't wear something tight, when all the girls he dated wore tight and short things. Casey finally spotted him sitting on a bench listening to an Ipod while drinking a smoothie. Casey walked closer and pulled the headphones out of his ears.

"Where did you get this?", Casey asked, holding up the Ipod.

"Sam's here. I asked him if I could use it and he said yeah.", Derek answered.

"Okay. Ready? It's 6:00. Mom's going to be cooking soon and we need the rest.", Casey sighed. Derek nodded as he walked with Casey to the car.

Meanwhile Lizzie was sitting with Edwin at the dining room table. Marti was in the front watching Tom and Jerry and Nora and George was cleaning the house. Nora looked at the clock.

"It's six thirty and they're still not home. Could something have happened?", Nora asked. Normally Casey was home before five.

"Nora, honey, they're teenagers.", George smiled warmly as he squeezed Nora's hand.

Nora smiled as Casey and Derek walked through the door. Casey carrying five bags and Derek carrying an Ipod and smoothie.

"How was the trip?", Nora asked her eldest children.

"Great!", Derek and Casey shouted as they slammed their bedroom doors. Casey grabbed one of her suitcases and begin to fold her newly found outfits into it. Today was a great day. She'd talked to Emily, tied with Derek at Go Fish, and got five new outfits. And on top of it all tomorrow was going to be a great day.

Derek sat on his bed as he text messaged Sam on his cell phone. Today was a good day. He didn't have to pack his clothes, he tied with Casey, and went to the mall and got two girls' phone numbers. The only bad thing was Casey and some of her outfits he liked and hated at the same time. Derek cleared his head as he closed his phone. Starting tomorrow he wouldn't have to worry about Casey. Except with the money and letter every week. Other than that it was all about him. He smirked. What could possibly go wrong?
