-THE NEXT DAY:
HotStud: Hey, MissunderstoodTeenGirl! How was dinner last night?
MissunderstoodTeenGirl: It would have been great if it weren't for my step-brother hogging all the ice cream. See, yesterday was my moms birthday, so we had cake and ice cream, and he got almost ALL of it. But, of coarse, he always gets what he wants. I swear, if he ever said he loved me, I would go crazy. But, HotStud, would you hate me if I told you something personal?
HotStud: No problem. What's up?
MissunderstoodTeenGirl: Well, I think I am falling in love with you. I mean, think about it. We have been friends ever since we were like twelve. We are now sixteen. Although we have never met in person, I think I am falling for you.
HotStud: Well, that's kind of a shock, but I think I love you, too.
MissunderstoodTeenGirl: So does that mean that we are dating?
HotStud: Yes. But we should meet sometime. What about this Saturday? No school, and I hear there is a new movie in town. What's it called? Oh, yeah, it's Wild Animals. It is supposed to be really good. Do you want to go at, say, eight?
MissunderstoodTeenGirl: Sure. I'll meet you there.

SATURDAY, SEVEN THIRTY AT THE HOUSE
"Mom, can you take me to the theater? I have a date at eight?" Casey asked Nora.
"I'm sorry, Case. I can't. I have to get ready for tomorrow. George and I are on our six month anniversary, so we need to find babysitters for the younger kids." Nora replied.
"I can take her, Nora. I have a date at the theater, as well. It saves you gas, and Casey and I can go together." Derek volunteered.
"Thank you, Derek." Nora said, tossing him the car keys.
SATURDAY, SEVEN FOURTY FIVE, THE CAR
"OK, Derek. Now why did you really want to take me?" Casey asked.
"Just because we are going to the same place." Derek replied.
SATURDAY, EIGHT O' CLOCK, THE THEATER
"OK, no need to worry. We were only supposed to just have gotten here. Maybe he's just not here yet." Casey said to herself.
"Why isn't she here yet?" Derek asked.
SATURDAY, NINE O' CLOCK, THE THEATER
"Come on, Casey. Both of our dates were supposed to be here an hour ago. Let's just go home, get some sleep, and we will have the house to ourselves tomorrow. We can ask our dates why they weren't here, and maybe invite them over." Derek said, as he gave Casey a brotherly hug to try to comfort her.
"OK, but he has some explaining to do. This is something I would have expected from you, but not him." Casey said.
SUNDAY, MIDNIGHT, CASEY'S ROOM
A DREAM
"Check me profile. You will learn the truth about me." HotStud said to Casey.
In a heartbeat, she awoke, dove over to where she kept her laptop, logged onto her name, and looked at his profile.
'Profile information currently unavailable.' The computer screen flashed.
"Great. Just great. Well, I'll talk to him tomorrow." Casey said to herself.
SUNDAY, NOON, CASEY AND DEREK ARE ALONE IN THE HOUSE
MissunderstoodTeenGirl: Where were you last night? I waited for an hour with my brother outside the theater!
HotStud: What are you talking about? My sister and I were the only ones outside of the theater last night. I even walked around the theater like twice, looking for you and her date. Wait! I have to go.
'HotStud has logged off.' The computer screen flashed right before Derek pounded on her door.
"What do you want, Derek? My boyfriend just logged off, and I want to find out who he is! I WILL MEET HIM!" Casey said.
"Just let me in, please! It's an emergency!" Derek yelled through the door.
"Fine, come in." Casey said.
Derek slammed into the door, ran over to Casey, and kissed her on the lips.
"DEREK, WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?" Casey yelled at her brother.
"Your boyfriend was there last night, and my girlfriend was there, too." Derek said.
"What are you talking about? We were the only ones outside last night." Casey said.
"EXACTLY! USE YOUR BRAIN, CASEY. IF YOUR BOYFRIEND WASN'T THERE, AND MY GIRLFRIEND WASN'T THERE, BUT THEY WERE THERE, BUT WE WERE THE ONLY ONES OUTSIDE, AND EVERYONE ELSE WAS INSIDE THE THEATERS, THEN THINK!" Derek yelled at Casey.
"If we were the only ones outside… Everyone was inside the theaters… Our dates were there… Oh, GOD! You're HotStud, aren't you?" Casey asked Derek.
"And you're MissunderstoodTeenGirl." Derek said.
"Eww, GROSS! I AM IN LOVE WITH MY BROTHER… I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!" Casey yelled at Derek.
"Look, Case. If we could get along on the net, and we are only related by law, why don't we give it a try?" Derek asked.
"Fine. I'll give you six weeks. If I am still in love with you then, we can go farther." Casey said.
"Oh, who am I kidding? I love you, Derek. Come here!" Casey said, pulling Derek to her and kissing him with a huge amount of passion.
"I love you, too, Casey!" Derek said as the two fell onto Casey's bed.
"We're back!" Nora and George yelled up the stairs.
"Coming!" Casey yelled back.
Derek gave Casey another passionate kiss, and the two went down stairs.
