"Mom! You have got to be kidding me!" Casey yelled.

"Nope, Sorry Casey. We're all going to stay at the Cabin for this winter break." Nora said.

"But Dad offered for us to come to new york. And I was looking forward to a Derek free Christmas."

"Casey, thats just it. You and Derek have been fighting worse than ever since he and Sally broke it off. You need this vacation together to get close. Ed and Lizzie are fine with it. Marty is staying with her mom. It will be relaxing once you and Derek stop fighting. Its a nice three bedroom place with washrooms and a fireplace." Nora tried to reason with her teenage daughter while adding the rest of the surprise on.

"Mom, Three bedrooms. So lizzie and I will be sharing a room and Derek and Edwin?" Casey asked hoping her mother wasn't implying what she thought she was.

"Well... Hunny George and I both agreed on this and..." Nora trailed off.

"...You and Casey will be sharing a room to help you work out those bumps in your relationship." George finished.

"What bumps? Casey and I hate each other and thats that!" Derek hollered.

"Well that needs to end. So pack and meet us at the door at seven AM." George said leaving the room. Derek lay back in his bed and covered his face with his hands. This was all he needed. He really liked Sally and she broke it off with him because they had to many fights. It was the making up or making out part that was good. Now he had to spend a whole two weeks with Space Case Casey. Joy. He was just relaxing when he heard his door open and felt the end of his bed move down with the weight.

"What do you want Edwin?" Derek asked.

"Its me Casey." Casey said.

"Oh well in that case GET OUT!" Derek said.

"DER-EK! I just came in to ask you if you seen my pink work out top." Casey tried to sound as civil as she could. She was trying to talk to a wall, and not a nice wall either a really mean wall.

"Why would I have Your work out top?" Derek asked.

"Cause I lent it to Sally and she said she gave it to you to give back." Derek's face went from annoyed to grossed out with in a matter of seconds.

"You mean this one-" Derek picked it up off his pillow and held it up. "-The sweet scent I've been smelling was your perfume?" Derek asked. He thought it was Sally's shirt he had next to his bed to keep her smell fresh in his memory. He wasn't usually the kind of guy to do that. In fact he was already over Sally. It just that the shirt smelled so good that he had to keep it.

"Yeah that would be the one... But y'know what? Keep it." Casey ran out of Derek's room really fast. She was going to pretend that she's ruined the shirt and that, that never happened. She walked into her room and quickly put everything she needed neatly in her suitcase. She set her alarm for six then crawled into bed and turned off the light.

Derek just threw a bunch of clothes in his hockey bag and threw it on the floor. He as well set his alarm for six. Then he walked over to his computer and turned up his music. He needed to tell all the girls that he'd be gone for the break and tell Sam that Casey would. Sam was planning on asking Casey out again over the break. He signed on to his messenger and clicked on the girls list and typed in the auto send message to say: "Sorry girls but the D-Man is going to be gone for the break." Then a message popped up at the bottom of the screen.

Sneaky: D-man when do you think is a good time to ask Casey out?

Tripple D: Never. At least not on this break. We're going on a 'Family outing'. In other words a prison trip for me and Casey to get along.

Sneaky: Then get along with her.

Tripple D: Never

Tripple D signed off.

Derek went over to his bed and lay down. He was a little tired so he turned off the lamp and tried to go to sleep. There was a loud banging sound coming from the hall way so he couldn't sleep. He got up to check it out. Sure enough it was Edwin bouncing a tennis ball off the wall outside Derek's room.

"Ed what are you doing I'm trying to sleep!" Derek Demanded.

"I couldn't sleep and I always do this and it doesn't wake anyone up usually." Edwin said.

"Well cut it out!" Derek growled. Derek went back into his room and snuggled up to Casey's shirt like he did every night subconsciously. It took about fifteen minutes but he finally got to sleep.

Casey's alarm went off in an empty room. She had woken up at five thirty and rushed to get in the shower first. Derek's alarm buzzed and he ran into the bathroom without knocking.

"DER-EK! GET OUT!" Casey screamed rapping herself in the shower curtain. Derek ran out and back into his room. Casey finished up and went back to her own room. She then pushed the off button on her alarm. How was she going to share a room with Derek for a whole two weeks? He would barge in when ever he pleased with out knocking and probably when she was changing. She put her tooth brush in her suit case and went down stairs. By the time Derek came down it was almost time to go. Everything but Derek's stuff was all in the rent-a-van that they rented for the trip.

"Casey when we get in the van don't bother me with you're annoying singing." Derek said as he crawled in the back.

"I think you're the annoying one putting your music so loud that the people around you can't even hear their thoughts." Casey replied. She crawled in beside him and put her seat belt on. They both knew this trip was going to be rough on all of them. Casey plugged her ear phones in and turned it up loud enough to drown out Derek's insanely loud music. Derek turned his up full blast so he couldn't hear Lizzie, Edwin, George, and Nora's singing. How many bottle's of pop could there be on this wall?After about two hours of driving Derek Fell asleep. He slid down until his head hit Casey's shoulder. All of a sudden he felt a hard blow to the shin from Casey's foot.

"OW! What'd ya do that for!" Derek screamed.

"You were laying on me and my foot slipped." Casey replied.

"Your foot didn't slip!" Derek yelled.

"ENOUGH!" George screamed.

"But she started it!" Derek whined.

"Both of you keep your limbs to your selves." George scolded. They sat in silence for the rest of the ride. When they got there Casey helped George get the stuff in and as usual Derek did nothing but go lay on his bed. Casey walked in and threw her stuff up onto the top bunk because Derek had obviously taken over the bottom. She climbed up and pulled her own blankets onto the bed and made it look pretty good. George called Casey and Derek out into the living room to assign them a chore.

"Lizzie, Edwin, you two are on dish duty. Casey, Derek, you two are in charge of getting firewood." George said.

"But Dad thats a mans job. Are you sure klutzilla can do it with out killing her self? I think ed should help me with the mans work." Derek protested.

"Derek you are so sexist!" Casey exclaimed.after a bit more arguing Derek finally gave in and let Casey come with him. They made into the wood with out killing them selves but got lost in the process.

"Derek I think its this way!" Casey called out trying to see through a thick snow storm that had started. Derek fallowed because he had no clue which way it was. Derek went ahead a little fallowing the sound of a river. When Derek was out of sight Casey ran to catch up, tripping and knocking both of them into the river. The Current was too strong and cold to swim any other way so they let it carry them out. Casey knocked her head on a rock so Derek pulled her over and tried to keep her head above the water.

When Casey woke up Derek was sitting on a bench with a blanket covering him. They were in a little cottage that looked very old fashion. A lady noticed Casey was awake and rushed over to her.

"Derek! Your girlfriend is awake!" She screamed.

"My name is Casey." Casey said hoarsely. That was when she noticed that her throat was hurting pretty badly.
