Hours later, Casey, Rod, Nancy, and Joey sat in her living room talking as Derek, Lizzie, Edwin, and Marti watched t.v, Nora, and George watched t.v. in the family room.

"Nora, are you sure we shouldn't go check on them? I mean, we'd never allow Derek to have girls in his room," George stated.

"All right, if you want to check on them, go ahead; but I can guarantee that they're not doing anything they shouldn't," Nora told him. George got up off the couch and headed for Casey's room. He knew he was being ridiculous, but there was just something about those two boys that he didn't trust. In her room, Casey had opened up her secret compartment, and she and the others had been looking through her things. They had finally stopped when Casey had found a spiked bracelet.

"I miss him so much," she said softly. Joey looked at her sympathetically.

"Do you remember much about him?" he questioned.

"I remember loving the way he dressed---it was so cool. He had his own style. Robby didn't care what anyone thought," Casey said. Hearing voices, George came up to the door. He was about to announce his presence, when he realized that Casey was talking.

"He never pushed me away or yelled at me. Not even when he caught me messin' with his stuff," she said. George's brows furrowed. Who was she talking about? She laughed. "I remember when he caught me with this. It was so big and it looked so ridiculous on me. Robby just laughed and called me his little punkette." George's face grew serious as he realized the girl was talking about her brother.

"And that's why it became your dream power," he heard one of the boys state.

"Yes. I'm strong…like Robby," Casey confirmed. Joey put his hands on Casey's shoulders.

"You've always been strong. Even when you're you," he told her.

"I know. It just makes it feel like he's actually with me," Casey said. George silently walked away from the door and back downstairs.

"She's fine," he sheepishly said to his wife.

"What'd I tell you?" she asked with a smirk. Lizzie chuckled and the other Venturi kids looked at their parents in confusion. Why was Nora being so casual? It didn't make sense. After all, if Derek had members of the opposite sex in his room, she'd be freaking out. Finally, Casey and her friends came down.

"We'll see you guys later," Nancy stated.

"Yeah, and I gotta call my folks and make sure I'm not into too much trouble for stealing Dad's car," Rod added.

"Nancy, do you have a place to stay?" Nora questioned.

"Um, well…" the girl hesitated.

"You're staying here," Nora declared.

"Fine by me," Nancy shrugged.

"And Rod's staying with me," Joey announced.

"Cool," Rod said.

"I'm gonna---yeah," Nancy stated, and then went back upstairs.

"You ready, man?" Rod asked.

"Yeah," Joey responded. Casey walked him to the door.

"See ya in a bit," he told her softly.

"See ya," she replied. Then, without a word, she went back upstairs, where she changed into her pajamas. Then, she and Nancy settled down in her bed, and they both began to dream.
