Derek sat wearily on his bed, staring at his bedroom floor, mouth slightly agape and eyes wide. His hands wringing themselves. He couldn't understand it. He, Derek Venturi, wanted to take her, Casey McDonald, to prom. He couldn't wrap his head around why he wanted to do that. He groaned and dropped his head into his hands. He wanted to take Casey to prom, but she was going with Noel. Not to mention, he had yelled at her and she probably didn't want to speak to him at the moment. Actually, she probably didn't even want to see his face at the moment. Derek was struggling with figuring things out. The vortex of feelings and urges never ceased inside of him. It kept spinning and spinning. In return, making Derek's vision spin and spin as he got up and reached for the phone. He sighed and dialed Sam's number.
"Hey, Sam, yeah, yeah. I'm good, uh huh, just peachy. That's wonderful, Sammy. Listen, can I come over? No, no, it's important. No, I didn't stuff macaroni and cheese in Casey's underwear drawer again. Sam, can I just come over? Okay, great, I'll be there soon," he said, hanging up the phone and tossing it on his bed with a moan. He was going to have to get to the bottom of things and Sam had been dropping riddles like Dr. Suess lately, confusing Derek to no end. Derek knew that Sam had some info and he desperately needed it. He didn't care if he had to beat it out of his best friend. He needed it. Badly.

"So, what you're saying is is that you're mad at yourself for not asking Casey to prom before Noel?" Sam asked slowly. Derek threw his arms into the air in frustration and let out an exasperated huff.
"Yes! But, I can't understand why I even want to take Casey to prom," he said sadly, taking a seat on the edge of Sam's bed.
"Well, I can't even imagine you having enough guts to even just work up to asking Casey to prom," Sam said matter-of-factly as Derek narrowed his eyes questioningly.
"What's that suppose to mean?" He asked. Sam shook his head, dissapointed in his friend.
"Derek, think about it," he said simply. Derek shot him a sideways glance before looking back down at the floor and breathing in his hands and rubbing them together. He wiped his hands on his jeans and stood up, taking in a deep breath to continue pacing. He wrung his hands together, staring intently at his feet as he thought.
"Okay, so, I'm upset with myself for not asking Casey to prom before Noel. I also feel like pummeling Noel into the ground. I'm like a woman on PMS because my mood is changing so rapidly. I yelled at Casey and immediately regretted," Derek continued on, closing his eyes and sighing. Sam nodded, sitting on the edge of his chair. "I get this bubbly feeling, like, my stomach is about to fly up my throat and out my mouth every single time she smiles and laughs and does other things. My skin tingles whenever she touches me. God, I sound like a sappy girl from those fairytale movies. You know, with the ones where the girl is all proclaiming that she's..." Derek stopped, his eyes growing wide as he came to a complete halt with his hand in his hair. Sam smiled in accomplishment.
"That she's-she's...in love," Derek choked out. "Oh, God," he cried out. "Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God. No, no, no, no, no. This cannot be happening," Derek said, sitting on Sam's bed and rubbing his hands in his hair. "Oh, God," Derek said, jumping up from his position, racing out of Sam's room and to Sam's house's nearest bathroom. He ran to the toilet and heaved for the second time that day. After he was finished with producing the bile, he sat back and groaned. He put his head between his legs and groaned once more.
"This is not happening," he told himself. Sam smirked from his place in the doorway. He had followed Derek out in an attempt to hear Derek actually say it out loud. Derek looked up at the ceiling. "I cannot believe this," he groaned out. Sam crossed his arms and continued with smirking.
"Better believe it, dude," Sam said as Derek looked over at him in horror.

"Derek, could you please pass the salt?!" Casey said for the fourth time, getting frustrated as Derek just continued to stare at his plate. He hadn't eaten at all. He was terrified to look up as well. Just thinking about looking up and seeing Casey's face, crunched up in annoyance, just made him want to faint. He couldn't even bare to make a move for the salt to hand it off to her. Casey sighed and rolled her eyes, leaning over grabbing the salt. She pulled back and muttered, "Jerk." Derek stiffened and slowly turned his gaze towards his father.
"Dad," he said quietly. This caused many confused and questioning looks to be sent his way, although, he couldn't really meet most of them. "Can I be excused?" He asked, just as quietly. George opened his mouth and srunched his brow together in confusion.
"You-you haven't eaten anything, Derek," he said.
"Not hungry," Derek muttered in response.
"Who are you and what have you done with Derek?" Edwin asked, eyes wide.
"I have no clue," Derek whispered, slowly shaking his head back and forth. George shifted uncomfortably in his chair before nodding at Derek.
"Umm, well, okay, you're excused," he said.
"Thanks," Derek mumbled, getting up and retreating up the stairs.
"What just happened here?" Lizzie asked, clearly just as confused as the others at the table. Nora shook her head slowly in response, opening and closing her mouth several times, trying to find the right words.
"I don't know, Liz, I don't know," Casey said for her mother, also shaking her head like Nora.
