Marti's Room

Marti sat that in her room with various colors of paper and crayons humming and drawing. She was just so ecstatic that everyone in the house were getting along and were happy. then she heard Casey's door slam. she could also hear Derek down stairs apologizing and asking for a sandwich. typical.

"perfect, what did Derek do now ? " she thought to herself as she put all her arts and crafts away. she took a huge sigh and walked over to her door opened it and took a little peek out. she opened her door just in time to see the games closet door close.

"must be Lizzie and Edwin." she thought with a smile. "at least some couple around here is immune to fighting."

She walked back over to her bed. It looked so comfy she couldn't resist a nap before dinner. She got into her pajamas and hoped onto her bed. She layed her head down hoping that she wouldn't have to fix Casey and Derek's argument, and that thing would work themselves out. Sooner or later she drifted off to sleep.

Casey's Room

Casey was laying on her bed, book in hand, staring at the ceiling. All of a sudden there was a knock at her door. She brushed away the little tear that was making its way down her cheek. She opened the door and Derek was standing there with a flower.

" Did you pick this from my garden outback ? " she asked taking the flower from his hand and smelling it.

" well kinda, but only because I know they're your favorite. That's why you planted them right ? " he asked offering a smile.

Casey had to smile at this. " Yeah , they are my favorite. "

" I'm sorry about what I said Case. I didn't mean to make you mad. I guess I should learn to be more sensitive." He said with a serious look, while also thinking " even if it kills me." ... cause lets face it, Derek is Derek.

She looked at him for awhile, a small smile tugging at her lips.

" Yeah, well I should learn to not take things you say so seriously. So, I am also sorry. "

" Well while we are apologizing, can you apologize for not making my sand which ? "

" Derek... " she started threateningly.

" I'm just kidding babe, but you should have seen your face. Your so cute when your mad. "

" Yeah well keep it up, I'm about to get real fucking adorable. "

" Gasssp ! Casey McDonald swears ? " he asked her with a grin.

" Shut up and kiss me." she said smiling at him

" Oh with pleasure. " he answered giving her a lusty look. He turned around and closed her door.

He turned back around and gave her sweet little kiss on the lips. She pulled away and put her forehead to his, closing her eyes. He looked at her in silence.

" Have I told you that I love you lately ? "

" Only when your trying to get your way. " she said with a smile keeping her eyes closed.
