Author's note: I don't own Celine Dione whatsoever. So when you hear the song try to imagine it in a rock style I can for some reason. The Sublime t-shirt goes out to ISH!
Casey kissed Derek as if life was in that single kiss. As if they parted they would never see each other again. Their kiss to them lasted for eternity, but actually had only being going at it for thirty seconds. Derek was about to take charge by sticking his tongue inside her mouth when...
"OH MY GOD!" Edwin and Lizzie said in unison.
Casey and Derek didn't really pay much attention to them until... an earthquake started around the house. Their lips parted each teen breathing heavily unable to speak. The earthquake ended. Casey looked at the teens then at herself she was sitting on the chair. She looked at Derek's body he was a deep shade of red that not a single adult would be proud of. Casey pushed Derek off, but only managed him to move a step away. Her strength was gone. Casey looked at her younger sibling unable to tell them anything.
"Don't tell anyone it will be our little secret," Derek answered.
"We won't, if you tell us what's in it for -," Edwin said.
"I don't think you want to finish that sentence," Derek said cracking his fingers.
He was proud to have his power back. Where his little brother was scared of him and did his every bidding at the snap of his fingers. Casey's eyes went to her little sisters. She looked at everyone before answering.
"Well I don't see a problem you guys are step so..." Lizzie started. "I guess it's all right."
Edwin looked at her and left running up to his room in the attic. He locked the door and fell on top of his bed. He stared at the ceiling it was black with white stars over it. For being a thirteen-year old boy his room was still like a young kid, but he liked it that way. There was hope then, hope for Lizzie. He closed his eyes he could see her blue eyes staring back at him. That smile that brought joy to him on his gloomiest days was spread over her face. He fell asleep dreaming about her, putting his arms around her. Taking in her scent that he enjoyed for this past year.
Casey and Derek were screaming with joy in the room. They were back to their bodies, after being tortured for a week. They were back. Casey hugged Derek and pulled away inches so they could stare at each other faces. Derek looked at Casey's vivid full of life blue eyes. She stared back into his chocolate brown eyes that were pure mischief.
"I never thought this would happen," Casey said.
"What us going back to our bodies?" Derek asked.
"No, not that, us I mean us... Kiss."
"Oh you mean like this," Derek said.
He brought her close to him picking her up and Casey instinctively wrapping her legs around his waist. He kissed her so powerful that air ran out in a second. They parted and Derek let her down. Casey rested her head on his shoulder breathing in softly enough to hear Derek's rapid heart beat. Derek could feel her hot breath against his neck. He rubbed her back soothingly wishing this life wrapped around his body to never leave. They kissed again.
"If you guys are going to do that can I take notes," Lizzie said.
After being exposed to Edwin for so long. She was getting used to his ways. Taking notes when people were having their most private moments, or when something drastically serious was going on. With the notes, Edwin and her would conduct research and find a way to use their older siblings to their advantage.
"Out!" Derek and Casey yelled in unison.
"Do you think Mom and George will understand," Casey said.
"Oh I think they will knowing my dad, and Nora should be a piece of cake." Derek said grinning his award-winning smile. He has it back.
Friday (Wedding Day)
Derek and Casey were at the church. The wedding had just ended and everyone was congratulating the newly weds Janna and Steve. Casey and Derek were talking casually while everyone was taking pictures. Out of nowhere Sam, Ralph, and Jessie came in. All of them were wearing rocker outfits. Jessie's was the best hers said Sublime in big bold letters across her shirt.
"Guys what are you doing her?" Derek said.
"We really hate to do this but," Sam said taking out the duck tape.
"Hey you three!" George screamed. Nora followed her husband.
"Shit!" The band yelled.
"What are you three doing here?" Nora said.
"Look dude we are going to a concert and we are going to perform," Ralph said.
"You guys can go. On one condition," George said.
"Anything Mr. Venturi," Sam said.
"You take Casey, I know you will come back to the party safely in her hands," George said.
All of them ran to the Dan forth Music Club. Miraculously the house of blues was only three blocks away. Derek and the others were setting up. All of them had no clue what song they were going to play they just wanted to get up there at least. Right before the curtains opened Derek told them the song and everyone started to set the strings and the drums up.
"This song goes out to a little girl of mine," Derek said winking behind him where Casey stood. Everyone started to play.

Everyone in the stands was jumping up in the crowd. Everyone was yelling screaming for an encore. Every single band that played was called to the stage to see who would be next winner of the Dan forth Music Club.
The announcer stood on stage with a card in his hand. "The new winner of Dan Forth Music Club and a Contract with LG is...Green with Envy!"
Derek and the rest of his band lowered their head in disappointment. Casey went up on stage and gave Derek a hug and a peck on the cheek. Sam, Ralph, and Jessie stared at them with a questioning glance, but with a shock of awe at the same time. They all came together giving only looks to talk, which meant maybe next time.
"You know what who cares, we know we kicked their asses inside," Ralph said.
Somehow his stupidity was reassuring. It brought everyone smiles. When Derek checked his watch. "Case we need to go," Derek said.
"See you guys," Casey said being dragged by Derek into the taxicab.
Casey felt a bit closer to them for the past week. She figured why Jessie was who she was being a rebel a lesbian and all. It was a sad story Casey couldn't bring her to remember every word. She know knew why Sam was dating Emily, it wasn't to make her jealous, but to show Casey and Emily that he could be more than just a player, but a sweetheart. Casey even knew why Ralph cared so much about his appearance, but that's another story. And the one person she thought could never have a decent heart her stepbrother Derek Venturi.
She discovered his life wasn't all fun and games. It was dodging girls, teachers, and the football team, peer pressure. She couldn't count how many times she had been offered weed, or liquor. Then she figured why Derek was never nice to her it was because he couldn't bring himself to admit he loved her.
Derek looked at Casey her head was resting on the seat of the car deep in thought. Her eyes stared blankly at the sky. His thoughts soon trailed off of her too. Casey's life was hard, but she had a family and friends to support her through it. Even the most nerdish kids liked her and helped her. Then he saw the torture he put her through looking at it literally through her point view was never racking. No one wonder she always boiled steam around him. He hated himself for not treating her properly.
The taxicab stopped in front of the beach. Janna being a physiologist and all was able to afford every luxury. Casey sat down and started eating she was starving and so was Derek. They looked around and saw Edwin and Lizzie dancing it was cute, Lizzie was able to dance and Edwin was well no one knew what he was doing. It was amazing what Lizzie was wearing. It was a navy blue strapless dress. That had a blue ribbon tied to the back. It was sort of plain, you could say it was a tomboy dress.
"Hey you want to go to the dance floor?" Derek said.
"Um no thanks," Casey said looking over her parents.
"C'mon," Derek said dragging her to the dance floor.
Derek was expecting to get a fast song, but his timing hit wrong. A waltz song appeared and the lights dimmed. Casey being the smart one curtsied and Derek noticed and bowed. Casey put her hands up and intertwined her fingers with his. Her other hand rested on his shoulder. Derek's free hand went to Casey's waist. The music started. Mostly all the adults were on the floor and the children sitting down. Derek span Casey around her dress flowed beautifully in the dimming light. They came together again and started doing the waltz. They were both amazed on what they were doing. The music ended and Casey and Derek came back together. They looked at each other's eyes deeply and kissed. Their parents quickly turned around and ran toward them.
"What are you guys doing!" Nora and George yelled in unison.
"Nora, Dad, we are together and you guys can't stop us," Derek said determined.
"What do you mean together?" Nora asked scared.
"Mom, like Derek said you can't stop us from likening each other, if you break us apart we'll find a way to be together," Casey said.
The two parents looked at each other worried. They walked a bit to turn. They screamed at each other for a bit and came back. Their faces looked defeated, but at the same time relieved.
"We've decided you could be happy at least we wouldn't have to hear you guys screaming at each other again," George said. Derek and Casey hugged their parents in relief.
Edwin and Lizzie were sitting down and laughing. Suddenly a blonde white boy came up to Lizzie and bowed. "Would you like to dance?" He asked.
"I don't dance slow songs," Lizzie said.
"Please let me dance with you and I will jot bug you anymore," h said.
Lizzie saw his green eyes and saw how hot he was. She got up and he led her to the dance floor. Edwin gritted his teeth. He saw how the guy span her around and her laughing. He hated the guy. Without knowing he was on the dance floor walking up to her.
He got up the courage and started walking toward her faster. He tapped on the guy's shoulder. Lizzie looked at Edwin frustrated with him. The guy left and Lizzie stood there sending Edwin daggers through her eyes. Lizzie began walking and headed down to the pier. Edwin followed her.
Lizzie stopped in front of a Chinese restaurant and faced toward him. "Why do you always have to do that!" Lizzie yelled.
"What are you talking about?"
"I mean when I'm with a guy anyone you always pull me away from him."
"Look it's not my fault you are a slut!"
"A slut! You are calling me a slut! You are the one to talk! No one really likes you at school they only use you because your brother is Derek!"
"Excuse me do you want a cookie?" A Chinese lady asked.
Edwin and Lizzie spoke in unison "Thank you."
Both of them took the cookie and broke it apart.
