Chapter Four: What Happened to Your Face?
Casey
"Okay the last thing I remember is I was going to go get my phone back from Derek… Derek! That's it!" She said to herself raising her hands with a smile "Umm, babe?" She said trying to act as normal as she possibly could if that was even possible after the catastrophe that had occurred moments ago. "Look Case if this is about the whole towel thing don't worry you can come out of the bathroom I'm fully clothed now." he said sarcastically leaning against the wall as Casey opened the door putting on a forced smile
"Oh, no that's not it. I was just wondering if you could get me the phone book." She said as he walked towards a small set of drawers next to there bed opening the second one and grabbing out a large yellow phone book. "Thanks hun!" She said walking towards him grabbing it as she plopped onto the bed. "Welcome." He said with a smile sitting next to her.
"Glad to see you're back to normal." He said pulling her into a half hug on the bed 'I don't even know what normal is anymore.' She thought to herself as he got up from off the bed "Well, I'll see you later babe. I've got to get to practice, coach will kill me if I'm late again." He said with a smile as he grabbed her hands pulling her up from the bed as he pulled her into a hug as then leaned in for a kiss "Umm, yeah bye." She said quickly dodging him giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Yeah, later…" He said walking out confused as Casey sat back onto the bed holding her head. "Okay, now this is just getting to weird." She said letting go of her head and grabbing the phone book. "Okay, so Derek must still have the same last name and I'm guessing he still doesn't live at home." She said to herself as she thought about how many jokes she could make about him nearly being thirty and still living with his parents "Okay now that's just weird." Casey said knocking the idea of Derek being nearly thirty out of her head. "Venturi, Venturi…" She mumbled to herself as she clapped her hands together in excitement "Yes! Derek Venturi. Now I just have to go find the phone." She said placing the phonebook down to wander hers and Max's house.
Derek
He was making his way out of his room staying close to the walls as he stumbled upon some pictures hanging on the hallway wall he was once walking against "Nice." He said looking at the picture of him holding a hockey trophy in a maples jersey as he looked down the line of pictures he noticed how many of them he was in with random girls, some he noticed from high school and some he noticed from magazines he tended to read. "Okay how many friends do I have?" he asked himself with a smirk as someone walked up behind him
"Reminiscing about the glory days D?" the voice said putting a hand on his shoulder looking at the many pictures as Derek turned around "Sam!?" He said looking at him confused "What are you doing in my house! Man you can't sneak up on me like that." Derek said grasping his chest "Your house ha-ha real funny man don't you mean our house." Sam said walking towards the stairs with a laugh as Derek followed him hoping he wouldn't notice the lack of information he seemed not to know.
"Yeah, yeah man I was just… messing with you." He said with a nervous laugh.
"Well, I'll be back. I'm going to go get something to eat. Wanna come?" He said as he got on his jacket and shoes. "Um, nah I think I'll stay here I'm pretty wiped." He said lying so that he could check out the house and maybe find out what the heck happened. "Alright, later man." He said grabbing his key's as he walked out the door.
"I think I'm in love." Derek said slowly walking towards the living room where a huge flat screen TV hung on the wall but before he could get any closer the phone started to ring causing him to jump. "Great now I have to find the phone!" He said raising his arms in frustration as he searched the living room to find a phone sitting on a small table.
"Um, Hello?" He asked unsure as he heard a familiar voice on the other line "Derek!" the voice said cheerfully "Casey!" He said excited to hear an explanation as to what was happening as he sat down on the couch
"Okay, so I woke up this morning and I wasn't in my hotel room and then Max came out of what I guess is our bathroom and then I went in to the bathroom to calm myself down but when I looked in the mirror I didn't look like me well, I did but I looked older and well so did Max but when he heard me yell he came running and his towel fell and I saw him in his umm… Birthday suit and well I pushed him out the door an.." Casey was rambling on as Derek cut her off.
"So you saw Maxie boy in all his pride and glory eh? So what's bigger his ego or his.." He said about to finish his sentence as Casey started yelling on the other end as he laughed. "Der-ek! This is serious! Do you know what's going on here?" She asked "Well, all I know for sure is that I'm somehow magically twenty eight and I have a lot of friends." He said the last part with a smirk as Casey sat in silence.
"Can I meet you somewhere?" She asked as he sat up in his seat. "I guess but I don't really know where I'm at…" He honestly said "Well, here you remember where Smelly Nelly's is right?" She asked as he scoffed "Duh, I work there remember, or well use to..." He said confused as she groaned "Whatever, just get there somehow." She said hanging up the phone as Derek looked around. "Just to be safe I think I'll call a taxi." He said to himself as he dialed the number for a taxi service.
Casey
"Okay, hmm. If I where an older me where would I put my car key's." she said aloud as she walked out of the bedroom she had been in the whole time she was stuck in this twisted world. "Okay, well where would I put my living room?" She asked as she leaned over some railing looking at her enormous house.
"I think I'll go change first." She said to herself as she made her way back to the comfort place of hers and Max's bedroom as she looked through several dressers looking for something decent to where she finally found something slightly appropriate. "This will have to do." She said as she grabbed out a pink tank top and shorter denim skirt
'Now where would I keep my jackets?' she thought as she walked towards a huge walk in closet grabbing the first reasonable thing she saw which was a tight fit black hoodie "Okay, what was I thinking when I bought all these clothes?!" She said as she looked through the closet seeing how most of her outfits where pretty reveling, she then closed the closet as she made her way to the bathroom looking in the mirror.
"I wonder if Derek will notice me." She asked herself as she looked in the mirror as she ran her fingers through her hair.
She then grabbed her makeup which had luckily been in plain sight and added some eyeliner and lip gloss to her face not needing too do much else. Then she started to change into her clothes but noticed what she had worn to bed "What the heck!" She said looking at the small nightgown she had been wearing the whole time as she shook her head and just continued changing.
Derek
He got up from the couch and looked down at what he was wearing which happened to be his boxers and nothing else. "Wow, no wonder I felt a breeze." He said with a laugh as he made his way up the stairs and walked into his room opening the dresser by the door and grabbed a random shirt and pair of pants. He made his way to the bathroom and put on the clothes he grabbed but when he looked in the mirror he saw what he happened to be wearing which was a green t-shirt with some dark jeans
"Whoa, I guess my style never really changed." he said making his way to his closet as he found what he was looking for. "Yes! My leather jacket." He said slipping it on as he heard honking out side and grabbed what he had hoped was his wallet off his dresser.
Casey
She walked out of the bathroom now fully dressed. She had combed her curled hair which had still weirdly stayed in basically perfect loose curls as she found the car key's on one of the small tables in her room she smiled as she made her way out into the hallway and down a large flight of stairs. The door was right in front of the stairs but she stopped to notice the house and its glory. "Wow! This place is beautiful." she said walking towards a large glass case holding all of hers and Max's awards and trophy's
"Wait, my trophy's" She said to herself as she looked at her dance awards and smiled then made her way to a wall covered in photos of her and Max some including there wedding which she wore a stunning strapless white dress and her hair was brown but not completely it had some simple highlights in it. She then smiled to herself once again and made her way out the door noticing that she only lived a few streets away from her and Derek's old house.
Derek
'Where the heck is Casey' he thought as sat in a booth looking up at a clock. "Derek?" he heard a voice say as he turned around "What happened to your hair?" He said with a laugh as she gave him a glare. "What happened to your face?" She said bitterly as she sat across from him in the booth.
To Be Continued………
Authors note: Yay! Okay, So! I decided that Sam would be Derek's roommate. :] hehe. And the reason I have Casey nearly blonde and her clothes are well not Casey is because as she started dating Max she started changing you know like she was in the show, but instead of her breaking up with Max she stayed with him and continued changing.
Anyways so tell me what you think of this chapter and if you have any suggestions for the next chapter or you know if you have any suggestions for the next time they go into the future when Derek and Casey are married hehe :]
