Best summer ever!

A/N: I had this really cool dream and I had to write this story before forget it! Razz

I hope you like it, read and review please!

Setting: Maybe during the 3rd season or the 4th, you decide.

Summary: It was only a three weeks family trip to Greece … What could possibly go wrong? In this case everything, since it’s the Venturi/McDonald family we’re talking about. Slow-growing Dasey and implied Lizwin

Rating: K+ but it may become a T for precaution, I haven’t decided yet. It contains some cuss inside.

You are kidding!

It was a sunny and warm summer day. The Venturi/McDonald kids were sitting in the living-room watching TV in silence. Derek was sitting on his recliner with Marti on his lap sleeping, Casey was sitting on the sofa near to him and Edwin and Lizzie were on the other side of the sofa looking at the TV blankly like their older siblings.

Nora watched this scene from the kitchen door and slowly walked back to her husband, who was sitting on the island in the middle of the kitchen.

“George, I’m worried about our kids.”

“Nora, don’t be silly they’re fine!” George replied biting his apple.

“If fine means almost dead with boring yes, they’re fine.” Nora told him.

“You’re exaggerating and I’ll prove it.” George replied and got up.

He walked to the door and watched his kids looking at the TV blankly like they were dead and the TV still on. The only one that showed signs of being alive was Marti who moved in Derek’s lap once in awhile. Not even Casey and Derek were arguing about the remote or something like that. Nora was right they were bored to death.

He looked back at his wife, who had her arms crossed in front of her chest, with a worried look on his face.

“Oh my God! They look like they’re dead!”

“I told you that but you didn’t believe.”

“We’ve to take them somewhere…” Nora nodded in agreement “Do you think they wanna go to the mall?”

“George! For God’s sake they’re teenagers they don’t wanna go to the mall to spend their summer.” Nora thought about what she said “Ok, maybe Casey would but only if she bought something.”

George sighed and leaned to the island like Nora did to think about a place to go on family vacation. He remembered some of his friends talking about some new tourist places. The only one he could remember was Greece. Wait… That was it! He was taking his wife and kids to the Greece for a few weeks!

“Nora I’ve a great idea!” he said making Nora jump.

“Don’t scare me like that!” Nora replied with a hand on her chest.

“Sorry…”

“It’s ok… What’s your idea?”

George smiled and told her about the talk he heard between some of his friends about going to a cheap hotel in Greece. Nora smiled, it was a great idea! She kissed his cheek.

“I’m going to phone a travel agency!” she told him “How many weeks do you want me to book?”

“I don’t know… Two or three maybe… I still have lots of days of vacation.”

“We’ll tell the kids tomorrow.” George nodded and continued eating his apple.

He had these excellent ideas once in a while and he was proud of them.

The next day was a sunny and warm summer day too and like the previous day the Venturi/McDonald kids were watching TV in silence in the same positions but this time Edwin was sleeping too. The silence was broken by George when he turned the TV off.

Lots of loud protests were heard in the living-room and Edwin woke up and started protesting too even not knowing what he was protesting about.

“Calm down! I’ll turn the TV on when I finished giving you the news!”

“And what are those wonderful news you want to tell us?” Derek asked in a fake excited tone.

“I’ll have to wait for Nora.”

“Mom!! Come here immediately!” Casey screamed from the sofa.

Nora ran to the living-room with a ‘what-happened?’ face and all the kids looked at George.

“Come on Nora’s here tell us the news!” Edwin begged.

“You don’t have any excuse now!” Lizzie added.

“Tell us daddy!” Marti begged making her puppy dog eyes.

“We’re going to Greece for three weeks!!” Nora said excited.

All the reactions were different, Marti looked at Nora confused and asked what Greece was, Edwin stood in shock for going somewhere in his summer vacations especially to a beautiful country like Greece, Lizzie smiled with happiness, Derek grinned and said at loud he loved Greek girls and Casey screamed excited.

“You must be kidding!” Casey screamed excited.

“No, we’re not. So go pack we leave tomorrow!” George announced.

Everybody ran upstairs to pack except Marti who pulled her father’s jeans ‘till he looked at her.

“Daddy what’s Greece?”

“It’s a country in Europe which has many islands and lots of beaches just like you love.” George told her and took her upstairs to pack her stuff.

That night Casey phoned Emily telling her the news.

“Hi Em, I’ve big news!” Casey said excited.

“What news? Did Ethan ask you out?” she asked curious.

Ethan was Casey’s newest crush. He played in Derek’s hockey team as right defenseman.

“I’m going to Greece tomorrow!” she told her friend excited.

Both of them began to scream.

“Isn’t it great?”Casey asked excited.

“Yes it is! You’re so lucky!”

They started to scream again ‘till Derek’s head pooped into her room.

“It’s great! Really, really great!” he mimicked their voices and then on his normal voice he added “Now could you stop screaming?” he asked annoyed.

Casey stopped screaming and rolled her eyes at him. Derek left her room and continued packing.

“Was that Derek?” Emily asked on the other side of the phone.

“Yes, unfortunately I still live with him…”

“Well, I don’t agree with you. You’re really lucky for having such a hot brother.”

Casey made a disgusting face.

“That’s gross on so many levels…”

“I’d love to have a brother as hot as Derek.”

“First: he’s my step-brother and second: I thought you moved on, after all you dated Sheldon and you are dating Sam now.”

“Ok, I’d love to have a step-brother as hot as Derek and I don’t have a crush on him anymore but he’s hot and that’s a fact.”

“He’s not hot, he’s a jerk!”

“He may be a jerk sometimes but you’ve to admit he’s really, really hot! Don’t you agree with me Case?”

This conversation was going to some subjects Casey didn’t like to talk about.

“Ok, changing subject… Which bikinis do you think I should pack?” Casey asked praying that Emily would stop talking about how hot she thinks Derek is.

Fortunately it worked and Casey smiled happy.

“I think you should pack all your bikinis especially that khaki green bikini with the stripes and the pink flowers, you look wonderful with that one and the other bikini with blue and white stripes matches your eyes perfectly and you’ll look beautiful tanned and wearing that one.”

Casey sighed and prepared herself to hear Emily for an hour talking about her bikinis she had her bag packed for an hour. She didn’t know what was worst: hear Emily talking about bikinis for an hour or hear Emily talking about how hot Derek is. She thought about it for a second. The first choice was definitely better…

Meanwhile Derek was on the other side of the wall packing all his swimming shorts, shirts with short sleeves and T-shirts. This vacation was everything he needed. Everybody was traveling including Sammy boy and Ralph. Now he was going to a paradise with lots of hot chicks in bikini.

He was really excited but he couldn’t understand why girls had to scream when they were excited.

He turned his music on and continued packing but when his favorite part of the music was about to begin Casey’s head pooped into his room.

“De-rek!Turn the music down!” she demanded and left

Derek grinned he had his revenge now he just had to plan some pranks to do on Greece.

--

A few hours later everybody was sleeping, except Nora who couldn’t sleep. She turned to left, to right, to left again.

“Nora, dear is something wrong?” George asked with a sleepy voice.

“I’ve a bad feeling about this vacation...”

“Honey, it’s a three week family trip to Skopelos in Greece. What could possibly go wrong?” George assured her.

“Maybe you’re right…”

“Yes, I’m right. Now go to sleep.”

Nora nodded and tried her best to fall asleep.

A/N: Is George right or is Nora’s bad feeling right? What kind of pranks is Derek planning to annoy Casey? Read the next chapter to find out!
Lol this is the first time I end a chapter like this… Razz

You might be thinking why I chose Skopelos in the middle of many islands that exist in Greece. Well, I saw ‘Mamma Mia!’ recently and I love the island where they filmed the movie so it’s easier for me and for you (if you saw the movie) to visualize the island I’m talking about. Razz
