Cassandra Becomes An Elder/Part 1

(Authors Note: It's been a while since I've made an entry on this blog. Thanks to ACR there was alot of excitement going on!)

"It's going to be a beautiful day" thought Cassandra as she finished cooking breakfast for her family. "Too bad I have to work" she sighed. "At least I asked for the afternoon off"! Yes, today Cassandra would become an elder. She didn't really mind though. George had already gone through the transformation and she hadn't noticed any changes in him...except the obvious. She still found him to be a very handsome man.

After Cassandra left for work George, Casey, and Georgette talked about the surprise birthday party they had planned for that evening. "I invited Angela and Alex. Angela is bringing her new boyfriend for us to meet. His name is William VonBuren" said George. "Oh yeah" said Casey. "She told me about him. I've been dying to meet him!" Casey really did hope her Aunt could find someone else to fill the void that had been left when Alexander died in that awful fire.

Casey dialed the number to the Broke home. "Hello Mrs. Broke. Is Beau home?" Casey waited as Brandi called her middle son to the phone. Casey had the entire house to herself for a few hours. She and Beau hadn't been able to see each other for a couple of days. Why not take this opportunity to spend some time together? Casey invited Beau over and he quickly accepted. "I'll be right over!" Beau told her.

Casey quickly hung up the phone. Beau was coming over...and there would just be the two of them...together! "What am I thinking?" Casey asked out loud, feeling her skin grow hot and her skin blush a pretty shade of red.

When Beau arrived, Casey ran outside and threw her arms around him giving him a big kiss. It had been way too long since she had been able to do that!

Knowing there wasn't much time, Casey and Beau went straight upstairs. Though they hadn't planned for things to go as far as they did, neither Casey nor Beau regretted what happened between them. Beau was the only boy Casey had ever loved, and Beau considered Casey to be his first love.

The time went by too quickly for the two of them. Casey invited Beau to come back for the birthday party they were giving for Cassandra. Kissing Casey goodbye, Beau promised that he would try to return.

Shortly after Beau left, Cassandra returned home from work...as did George. Casey hadn't known they were working only part of the day.

"That was close!" said Casey. She wasn't sure how thrilled her mom and George would be about her having her boyfriend over while they were gone. Not to mention.... Casey blushed again as she began to make preparations for the evening.

Apparantly Casey and Beau weren't the only ones to take advantage of their unexpected time together. Casey accidently walked into her mother and George's bedroom to put away some linens, unaware that they were inside. Casey quickly closed the door in shock. She hoped they hadn't noticed her quick intrusion.

Poor George and Cassandra. Their attempts of having a little time together that afternoon was not meant to be. Shortly after Casey's abrupt exit (which was noticed...by the way!) Georgette burst into the room, holding her report card above her head. "I got all A's! Look! All A's!" Georgette was so excited about her grades. She couldn't wait another minute to show them to her mom and dad.

"That's wonderful!" said Cassandra. "Honey. Give us a minute. We'll be right out, okay?" George slowly sat up, not at all happy with the way things were going. Cassandra saw how disappointed George was. Giving him one last, long kiss she said, "You just wait until tonight. Believe me, it'll be worth the wait!" With that said, Cassandra got dressed and went to help Casey get things ready for her "surprise" birthday party.

A couple of hours later the guests began to arrive. Looking out the window, Casey saw Angela and her new boyfriend William at the door. Seeing William standing on the porch, Casey took a double-take...he really did look a lot like Alexander had looked!

(Authors Note again: I seriously had nothing to do with either Casey and Beau or with Cassandra and George deciding to do the woo-hoo thing. They did it all on their own!)
