(I do not own Life With Derek)
Wow, Things Have Changed
Chapter #2: Here I Go
Casey was packing her suitcase, debating on what to bring to Toronto. After a conversation with her boss; and a promise that she'd bring him those donuts with the jelly filling everyday; he slowly let her go.
She finally decided to bring most short sleeve shirts; a couple long sleeved (spring temperatures could vary a whole lot), some summer dresses (she'd buy a wedding-worthy one while she was there), sneakers, flip flops, and her favorite pair of white heels. She quickly packed all of her other necessities too.
As she was closing her suitcase, her cell phone rang. The ID read "Derek". She sighed and opened her phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey, are you ready for the funnest two weeks ever?" Derek said sarcastically.
"Hey Derek." She simply replied, not bothering to correct his English.
"What's up?" he answered.
"Just packing for 'the funnest two weeks ever'" she said, quoting Derek.
"Don't mock me!" he joked. "So what time are you getting here?"
"I'm taking the 10:00 flight so in your time I should be there by 6:00 pm."
"Fine with me, see you tonight."
"Bye." She said before hanging up her phone.

Luckily Casey had an empty seat next to her on the plane, so she had some space. She hated when she was squished against someone she didn't even know.
The first thing that came to her mind was Derek. She has a ton of thoughts and predictions about him.
"What was he like now?" She thought. "Was he still a prankster? Was he a pig? Was he neat and organized, or still that utter mess? Was he smarter? Was his house nice? Who were his friends? Did he have a girlfriend? Was he now a mature gentleman or an immature man who didn't know what gentle meant?"
With all these questions Casey finally drifted off to sleep, and before she knew it, she was there.
After getting her luggage she stopped at Starbucks and picked up a latté. Lizzie was supposed to meet her at the passport line in the West wing, so she started heading over that way. As Casey was walking, she immediately noticed Lizzie, who was looking straight ahead, with a coffee in her hand. Her face lit up as her sister slowly turned around and saw her. She started to run toward Casey, and gathered her in a bug hug when she got there.
"Casey you're here!" she exclaimed, as she pulled away.
"I know! Congrats Liz!" she smiled at her loving sister.
"Thanks! I'm glad you could come down early, I have no idea how to plan a wedding!" she sighed.
"Neither do I, but we'll find a way!" Casey said, as Lizzie took her luggage.
"I'm sorry you have to stay with Derek" she couldn't help but smirk as Casey playfully slapped her on the arm.
"It's only for you Liz." She grinned as they stepped out of the building and got into Lizzie's car, which was only a few feet away.
It was a pretty short ride, with all they had to catch up on. Casey learned that Lizzie was now a secretary at a local middle school, and her fiancé's name was Gage, who was a successful stock broker. The wedding would be held in two weeks in an old but beautiful ballroom that was hardly ever used.
"He seems perfect!" Casey exclaimed.
"Oh, he is Casey; I can't wait for you to meet him!" Lizzie grinned. "Well, here we are!"
Casey looked out the window to see a nice two story yellow house.
"Wow, he did pretty good." Casey whispered.
"Yea, he should. He is the manager of one of the best restaurants in the Toronto."
Casey raised her eyebrows as she stepped out of the car. She looked toward the house, and all of a sudden her stomach did a big lurch.
"Here I go." She sighed as she started walking toward it.
