Disclaimer: I do not own Life with Derek. How many times have I typed that? Way too many, that's for sure.

Casey ran into the kitchen, excitedly waving a couple of envelopes in her hand.

"I got more!" She shouted to Nora, George, and Derek. Nora and George looked up from the food they were cooking on the stove and Derek set his orange juice down to raise his eyebrows at her questioningly.

"I got more college acceptance letters!" She shouted excitedly. Derek groaned and went back to drinking his orange juice, trying not to pay attention to the his over excited step-sister. Nora left the stove and walked over to her daughter, smiling.

"That's great, honey! Open them up!" She urged Casey on, just as excited. Casey smiled and took a seat across from Derek at the island. She picked up the first envelope and opened it up. After pulling out the letter and reading it, she looked up at Derek.

"This isn't for me," she said slyly. Derek glanced up at her, then back down at his orange juice. Nora gave her a confused look.

"What?" She asked. Casey smiled and held the letter out to Derek.

"It's for Derek," she said happily. George looked around in surprise and dropped his spatula on the countertop to walk over by his son. Nora clapped excitedly and Casey urged him to read it.

"I-I got in," he said. "I got in to University of Toronto on a hockey scholorship." He sounded surprised. He never thought that he'd be able to go to college and now here he was, holding a piece of paper that told him he'd actually be able to attend college, study film, and play hockey.

"That's great," Casey said, looking down at the other letters that now seemed less significant to Derek's first college acceptance letter. She saw her envelope that was from University of Toronto as well. She picked it up and, with one swift movement, opened it up. She pulled out the letter and read over it.

"I got in as well," she said. She grinned down at the paper. It was the college she really had wanted to go to and she had gotten in. She was extatic. Nora smiled at Casey and rubbed her back.

"That's great, Casey," she said. George stood stunned. He'd always wished that his son would be able to go to college and now he had gotten accepted and was going on a scholorship. He was utterly proud. He clapped Derek on the back and shook his shoulder.

"I'm so proud of you, son," he said.

"Thanks, dad," he replied, then looked at the other acceptance letters in front of Casey. He knew there was no way Casey would go to University of Toronto with all the other acceptances she had gotten. She'd gotten accepted to Cambridge, Dartmouth, Princeton, and other top colleges out of the country.

But, truth of the matter was, Casey had really wanted to go to University of Toronto. She never wanted to move away from Canada. She wanted to stay close to her home, her family. University of Toronto was perfect for her.

Casey was so happy at this point of time in her life. Prom was coming up, graduation was nearing, she'd be headed off to college soon, she was really growing up. Everything seemed to be going by in a blur and she couldn't stop it. Her life was on full-speed and she loved it.

"I still can't believe I got in," Derek said Sam the next day at school. They were by their lockers, getting ready for first period. Derek had just told Sam the good news of him getting into a university with a scholorship.

"That's great, man. I'm happy for you," Sam said, shaking Derek's shoulder. Derek smiled up at him. The announcements rung through the halls then.

"Good morning, students. The year is winding down, seniors! Get your prom tickets while you can in the cafeteria during lunch! Have a great day."

"Dude, are you going to senior prom?" Sam asked after hearing the announcements.

"I think I should just skip out," Derek said.

"No, you have to go to senior prom. You can't miss this. Every girl in this school would love to go with you. Just ask one of them," he said simply. Derek turned and raised his eyebrows at his best friend.

"Yeah? And who are you going with?" Derek asked.

"Sally," he replied, shrugging.

"Aha, I see, so, I get finished with Sally and then you attack her," Derek said, smirking and nudging Sam with his shoulder. Sam nudged back and smiled sheepishly.

"Whatever, man. Just find a girl to take, alright?" He said. "I'll see you at lunch. Bye." And with that, Sam left and went on to his first period. Derek sighed and closed his locker, letting his head fall against it.

"Who in the world am I going to take to prom?" He asked himself, before heading off to class.

Lunch came quite quickly. As Casey and Emily sat, chatting about college, Noel came up to them, interupting their conversation.

"Hey, umm, Casey?" Noel said, scratching the back of his head. Casey smiled up at him.

"Hey, Noel," she said.

"So, has anyone asked you to prom?" He asked nervously. Her smile grew larger as she shook her head.

"No."

"Well, I was wondering if you'd like to go with me," he said, letting out a sigh after finally getting it out in the open. Casey nodded her head excitedly.

"I would love to go with you, Noel," she said. He smiled.

"Great. I'll see you later," he said, walking off. After he was gone, Casey turned to Emily and they squealed excitedly.

"Can you believe it?" Casey asked.

"I know!! Noel just asked you to prom! How exciting is that?!" Emily asked, her excitement bubbling over.

"This awesome. You know, these past couple of weeks have been awesome. How much better could this get?!" She asked happily.

At home later that day, Casey couldn't control her excitement any longer. She called her mom into the living room. Just as Derek was walking up the stairs, she excitedly told her mother the good news.

"Noel asked me to the prom!!" Casey said. Derek jerked his head towards Casey and something bubbled inside of him. He saw how happy she looked and he frowned at her words. He didn't know why or what he was feeling, but it was foreign and it was directed at Casey and her prom date, Noel.
