Home Movies Reveal Feelings

It had been three days since Casey's shirts were ruined. To prevent any other similar things from happening, Derek and Sam made sure the room was both bolted and chained when they were asleep. Casey had also bought a lock for her luggage and kept her clothes in them. The group had just gotten back from a long day of touring the U.S. capital when Casey reminded them of what the day was…the anniversary of them becoming friends.

"Man, I can't believe how long it's been. It doesn't seem like its been six years does it?", Sam asked.

"No, I am really surprised I have been able to handle you guys for so long.", Casey teased.

"Yeah, your super keenerness is so easy to handle.", Derek joked.

"Aw, you love I'm a keener and you know it.", Casey said.

"True, cuz who else would I cheat off of?", Derek laughed. At Casey's slightly angered expression, Derek continued. "I'm just kidding Space Case, don't worry." Which caused Casey to calm down.

A few seconds later, Casey remembered what she had brought on the trip and went to get it from her luggage.

"Hey Derek, will you hook up the dvd player to the tv please?", Casey called from her room.

"Yeah sure.", he replied. "Which movie should we watch first? When a Stranger Calls or…?", But Derek was interrupted.

"No Derek, we are watching something special I brought.", Casey said while walking to the dvd player.

"What is it?", Sam asked.

"You'll see.", Casey said sweetly. The dvd began to play and a younger Casey and Derek came into view.

"Oh man I remember this!", Derek exclaimed.

"Derek your gonna make your self sick if you keep sniffing that silly marker.", a twelve year old Casey said, clearly annoyed at her friend.

"Come on Case, it smells good and it is not going to make me sick.", a twelve year old Derek replied.

No sooner had the words left his mouth he was taking a very large whiff of the marker and he suddenly got dizzy, falling into Casey, who barely caught him before he made them both fall over. You could hear another young boy, the camera man, laughing in the background.

"Casey told you it would do that Derek.", their friend Sam, also twelve, said clearly amused.

"Shut up Sam.", Derek growled.

"Aw, Derek, don't be embarrassed that Casey caught you.", Sam replied laughing.

"Yeah Derek, its no big deal. But, It looks like we have a new klutzilla huh Sam?", Casey laughed, now clearly enjoying the moment also.

"Yeah we do Case.",

"Evil friends.", Derek said while the camera faded to a new scene.

A eight year old brunette girl came on the screen. She was in a park of some sort in what looked like summer. She was wearing a pink dance leotard with a flowy skirt and ballet flats

"Alright Case, show Mommy the dance routine Mr. Douvo showed you.", Nora could be heard saying. Casey began to do some twists and turns and did an elegant backflip, but didn't land on her feet right and fell right into a reddish-brown haired boy about her age.

"Hey, watch where your going, Princess.", eight year old Derek said slightly annoyed.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I landed wrong. I'm Casey.", Casey said nervously.

"Yeah, I'm Derek.", he replied. The sandy blonde boy Derek was talking to extended his hand.

"I'm Sam."

"Hi.", Casey said shyly.

"Would you like to play with us?", Sam asked. Derek just stared at the pretty blue eyed girl happily.

"Sure, what are you playing?"

"We were gonna play on the jungle gym.", Derek replied.

"Ok.", Casey agreed. The boys made their way over to the jungle gym while Casey quickly told her mom where she was going.

"That little boy, Derek, I think he likes you sweetie.", Nora could be heard saying.

"Oh, no he doesn't Mommy. He just met me.", Casey gave her mother a silly face and ran to catch up to the boys.

After a few minutes of playing together, they were having a blast and moved over to the monkey bars. Casey's shoes slipped over one of the bars and she began to fall. Before Nora could even get all the way up, Derek had caught her bridal style.

"Thank you for catching me Derek.", Casey could faintly be heard saying.

"Anytime, Princess.", Derek replied nonchalantly. But when he put Casey down and she turned to climb back up, Derek smiled sweetly up at her as the camera faded again.

The screen was filled with balloons and panned out to show a table full of teenagers. Pink decorations littered the room. Casey sat at the head of the table with Derek and Sam on either side of her and her other friends dispersed around the table.

"Happy Birthday Casey!", everyone said happily. Casey beamed into the camera.

"Thank you guys for the wonderful presents! I hope you had a good time today!", Casey said.

After that was said everyone got up to hug Casey goodbye. When Emily, the last to leave walked out, Casey turned to her to best friends.

"I can't believe I am 14 years old!", Casey exclaimed happily.

"I know, my baby is almost old enough to drive.", Dennis was heard saying.

"And dating", Nora added sadly.

"Not gonna happen.", Derek and Dennis said simultaneously. Casey and Nora playfully glared at the two boys.

"Casey can date when she is ready.", Nora was heard saying. To this Casey stuck out her tongue in a playful way.

While Casey's parents talked together quietly, Derek was seen leading her to a quieter corner of the room in clear view of the camera. Someone picked up the camera and secretly walked as close to them as possible without being caught.

"What did you need, Derek?", Casey asked quietly.

"I wanted to give you your present.", Derek replied.

"But you gave me a present already."

"Well, its your second present then."

"Derek you didn't have to do that."

"I know. I wanted to."

Derek handed Casey a medium size gift bag. As Casey began to open it and figure out what it was she became even more excited. Carefully, she pulled out a pink teddy bear.

"Aw, Derek he's so cute! Thank you!", Casey exclaimed while enveloping him in a tight hug.

"Do you recognize him?", Derek asked. At Casey's bewildered look, Derek continued.

"When we were at the mall a few months ago you saw him in Build-A-Bear but you didn't have enough allowance to pay for him. And when you finally got enough money to get him and you went back they had stopped selling them."

"Oh my gosh, you remembered that? That's the sweetest thing you have ever done!", Casey exclaimed happily while giving him another hug. As they pulled out of the hug, Derek finally looked over and noticed…

"Sam!", Derek growled.

The screen faded and stopped.

"Its actually on film.", Sam said grinning.

"What is?", Casey asked.

"You and Derek actually acting like a couple.", Sam said matter-of-factly.

"But we aren't a couple.", Derek said quietly.

"Maybe not, but you look like it.", Sam replied.

"I'm going to bed.", Derek and Casey said quickly. When they both retreated to their separate rooms, they both began to think about how right Sam was, but knew they would not be the first to admit it.
