Movie Night

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Author's Note 1: This is definitely going to be my most cliché and smuttiest fan-fic thus far. However, after reading that there may not be a season 5 and that our only hope for hot Dasey action may be a movie sequel, this idea seemed irresistible . . . Also, I've always wanted to write Ralph.

Sam was exhausted. For the last three hours, he, Derek, Casey, and Ralph had been "practicing" in Derek's garage. To be fair, they had spent the last hour jamming pretty hard but the first hour and a half had been completely wasted by Derek and Casey's incessant fighting. D-Rock had finally gotten a gig and when Schlep had backed out of it, they had asked Casey to step in as the lead singer again.

Sam probably should have seen all the fighting coming . . . Honestly he didn't understand why they couldn't just get a long. They were both pretty cool people and he liked having both of them as friends.

After an hour of fighting and an hour of jamming, Sam was pretty tired and was relieved when Derek suggested they call it quits for the night and watch a movie or something. He had been surprised that Casey hadn't protested more, but they were scheduled to practice all day tomorrow and Sam figured that her voice was pretty horse from all the yelling she had been doing prior to choosing the set of songs they would use.

When they got to the living room at 10:45, they were surprised to see Lizzie and Edwin still up watching a movie. Derek's parents and his youngest sister were staying over at Nora's sister's house and it looked like the two middle kids had conveniently "forgotten" about their bed time.

Sam was even more surprised to see one of the movie characters eat some mushrooms and then fall into a drug induced trip. Apparently Casey was too.

"Liz, what are you watching?!" she yelled.

"Hey, don't yell at me," Lizzie said. "George got us the movies."

"Movies?" asked Derek.

"Yeah, this one—A Very Brady Sequel—and the Brady Bunch Movie which we just finished watching," said Ed.

"I find it hard to believe that George would rent a movie containing drug use," Casey yelled. "After all, even he has more sense then that."

"He said they were based on this old family show he watched growing up which reminded him of our family," said Lizzie.

"Yeah, right," said Casey skeptically, "because our family always gets high together."

"Maybe he read it involved tripping and thought it meant the kind that you usually do," smirked Derek.

"Actually," said Ed, "I don't think Dad realized that this was a parody of the original Brady Bunch."

Sam could by that. Derek's Dad could be pretty naïve.

"I bet he thought it would be more kid friendly," Edwin continued.

"Maybe," said Casey, "but it's not. Besides, you guys were supposed to go to bed at 10:30 so upstairs."

"Do we have to?" asked Lizzie. "It was just getting good."

"Liz, please," said Casey, "upstairs."

"Okay, Case," said Lizzie. "Good night."

"Maybe we can finish watching tomorrow," Edwin told Lizzie as they headed upstairs.

"We'll see about that," Casey muttered. "I don't know whether or not this movie is really appropriate for kids."

"Hey, D," said Sam, "I've heard this was actually supposed to be pretty funny. Think we should rewind it and check it out?"

"Maybe," Derek shrugged. "That is, if Debbie Discipline here doesn't think that the Brady Bunch is too adult for us."

"Hey, someone has to be the responsible one," Casey said defensively. "And since you have the maturity of a tree frog—"

"Alright, Case," Derek rolled his eyes. "You okay with this movie?"

That was surprisingly considerate, thought Sam.

"I guess," said Casey, "although there was supposed to be an interesting documentary on at about this time about the war between the American states . . . "

Derek shot her a look as if to ask if she was really suggesting that they watch a documentary.

"The American states are at war with each other?" Ralph asked, looking concerned.

Casey just rolled her eyes. And Sam couldn't help joining her on this one.

"The Brady Sequel it is then," said Derek. "Besides, I'm sure that the human V-chip will want to screen it before deciding if Ed and Liz can finish it tomorrow."

So Sam restarted the DVD while Casey made some popcorn.

Big Mistake.

Show creator Daphne Ballon has said that Life with Derek is supposed to be like a modern day Brady Bunch, and I think that a lot of anti-Dasey fans view it as such. The ironic thing is that the original Brady Bunch always seemed like it had a bit of a step-cest vibe, albeit much more subtle than LWD. The Greg/Marcia thing was made a lot more explicit in the movie remake/ parody though. Like with the Brady Bunch, at this point, I think that our best hope for Hot Dasey Action will also be a movie. Hence, the idea for this story . . . Hot Dasey Action to come.
