Summer Surprises

By: Fashion Roadki11

Yay! I'm 16!

Anyyyways, I'm pretty excited because next week the new Harry Potter movie is coming out, and soon after that, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! EEP! I've spent the past two days rereading the last two books, and since I'm done, I decided to treat you all to a new chapter.
Sorry to get off subject, but yeah.

So, thank you for reviewing!

You are all much too kind.

Oh, I also have a little question I'd like all you reviewers to answer.

For some reason, my other Dasey fic hasn't been as popular as this one. And I'd like your opinion why. (While you're at it, go ahead and check it out after you read this chapter!)

So! On with the story.

Last Chapter;

She got into the bed and patted the spot next to her. "Come." She whispered.

Anything for you, Princess.

I thought to myself, but instead of saying it aloud, I climbed right into bed with her.

Ha… that sounded so wrong.

Anyways, she cuddled up next to me as if worried that I'd leave her in the middle of the night.

"Goodnight, Der."

"Goodnight, Case."

"Sweet dreams."

Oh, they will be.

Chapter 4:

Tourist Attractions

Derek awoke the next morning with vivid images from dreams that he never thought he'd have. Well, not about Casey at least.

He woke up before Casey and hurried to the bathroom to take a cold shower. When he came out, Casey was barely waking up. "Hey Derek. Sleep well?" she said cheerfully. "You're pretty damn cheerful for someone who just woke up. Well, I slept fine, thanks. You?" Derek did everything he could to avoid her gaze. "What can I say? I'm a morning person. I slept great, not a nightmare at all!" Casey smiled.

"That's good. What are we doing today?"

"I think we should plan out what we're doing the next couple of weeks. But first I need a shower." Casey walked to the bathroom and emerged a half hour later in nothing but a towel. "Hey Derek, can you give me a couple minutes to change?" she asked, blushing slightly. Derek stared at her for a few seconds, his mouth open in amazement, before getting a grip and answering, "Yeah sure." He walked out of the room and closed the door. He threw himself on the couch before groaning into a pillow in frustration.

A while later, Derek and Casey were sitting in the living room trying to plan out their month.

"Okay, I think that this week we should tour Hollywood. And I'd love to go to the Santa Monica Pier this Saturday, and Venice Beach the following day! Then next week, let's go to… Universal Studios and Six Flags, and we can also hit the beach again that week. I say Zuma Beach. The week after that, we should relax. But on that Friday, let's go to Raging Waters. Our fourth week, we should learn how to surf! I've always wanted to, and I heard there's some really great instructors at Manhattan Beach. Then the week after that, we should go to Sea World and some other neat places in San Diego. The week after is our last week here isn't it? Oh, I have just the best idea. Let's spend the whole week at the Disneyland Hotel!" Casey talked so quickly that Derek barely understood what she said. He decided to just nod in agreement.

"Well then. That's settled. Let's get started." Casey smiled and began looking for the best route to Hollywood and Highland.

Their first week in California was almost over, and they had enjoyed every minute of it. They were on route to get to Venice Beach, California--- home of the hippies, stoners, and peacemakers of Los Angeles. Casey was wearing a Hollister jean miniskirt and a slightly see-through Abercrombie and Fitch t-shirt over her blue polka dot bikini with matching top. When they arrived, Casey stepped out of the car and clapped her hands together in excitement. They walked along the boardwalk and passed many artists, fortune tellers, healers, and 'henna tattoo' places. Casey decided that she'd get one after they got out of the water.

Casey threw her clothes and bag onto the sand and ran into the water. "Shit! It's cold!" she yelled in surprise but she got used to it soon enough and started to hurry Derek into the water. "Come on, you weenie!" she giggled. Derek started to walk slowly into the water and Casey was getting restless. She splashed some water on him and he cringed. "You splash anymore water on me, and watch!" he warned.

Casey took that as a sign to jump on top of him, making him roll around in the wet sand. "CASEY!" he yelled, but that didn't stop her. She kept splashing water on him even if he was already very wet and very sandy, all the while still sitting on top of him. "What can I say? You provoked me!" Casey laughed but soon her laughter died away when she looked into Derek's eyes. They'd both become very serious, and Casey could feel herself entranced by his eyes…and his lips. She kept moving forward as if gravity was pulling her towards him….

Yes, I know this chapter is REALLY short. But I've got writer's block! Slightly. Now I want your opinion. Would you like me to hurry up the story and get them together (by skipping most of their vacation) or slow it down and tell their whole vacation in detail? Thank you and goodnight
