Disclaimer: NO I DON'T own Life With Derek.

"Derek!" Casey yelled.

"What?" he said, sitting in his chair. "I'm Supreme Ruler of the remote."

"No, you are supreme ruler of the ignorant." Casey said, snatching the remote out of his hand.

"Give it back!" Derek yelled at her.

"You want this?" Casey said, pointing to the remote.

"Yes." Derek growled.

"I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU AS SOON AS I GET MY SANITY BACK!" Casey yelled, throwing the remote in the new fish tank.

"What the…" Derek started.

SLAM

"Women." Derek mumbled, getting up and changing the channel on the TV.

"I accuse Mrs. Peacock with the knife in the lounge." Edwin said.

"No fair!" Lizzy yelled at him.

"Yes, I won. For the third time in a row, I might add."

Lizzy said, "But you cheated every time!"

"My dear sister,"

"Step-sister." She corrected.

"You have no proof that I cheated."

"What would you say if I said that I video-taped this entire thing?" Lizzy said, smirking.

"I'd say, you're bluffing." Edwin said, paling slightly at the thought that she did record them playing.

"Whatcha paling for?" Lizzy said, her smirk growing wider.

"Who ever said I was paling?"

"Your face."

"What time is dad and Nora supposed to be back?" Edwin said quickly.

"Around 1 AM. The day after tomorrow. What were you trying to change the subject for?" Lindsey said, beginning to circle around him.

"I wasn't" Edwin said.

"Oh, tsk, tsk. You shouldn't lie, Edwin. It's not a nice thing."

"Grrrr…"

"Oh, and growling. Not the best thing in the world." She said, smiling widely.

'Hmm. I know the perfect way to make her shut-up. I just hope I don't get killed for it.' Edwin thought.

"What's with that look of amazement? It's a look that you would look like after you finally figured out how to sing good."

"Oh, you have to bring up that, do you?" Edwin said. The week before was auditions for a musical, and Edwin tried out for the lead roll. To say the least, he won't be getting any nominees for best male singer any time soon.

"Of course. At least I actually got part in it. And a solo." Lizzy went on gloating.

'The perfect way to make her shut-up is… please don't let me get killed.' He thought.

"Lizzy?" he asked.

"What?"

"Come here."

Lizzy walked right up to him and he did the thing he thought he would never do.

He kissed Lizzy full on lips.

SLAM

They broke away from the embrace, and Edwin had his eyes closed, but was afraid to open them. When he did, he saw Lizzy smiling warmly at him.

Then, she grabbed onto his hand and kissed him on the cheek.
