The 3 o'clock bell rang and Jaylee shot out of her seat. It was Friday, Finally, and now she could spend the weekend working to get paint for the car her guardian Bobby had given her for Christmas.

Jaylee walked out of the gates leading to the road outside of her high school. Her eyes scanned the street looking for Bobby's car of the week a 1960 Chevy truck in baby blue. She spotted him and quickly walked across the street.

"Hey Bobby!" She said hopping into the truck.

"Hey! How was your day?" He asked as her pulled the old truck away from the curb.

Jaylee sighed. "Bobby you know my answer! My day sucked as usual. There were bitchy girls and rude guys who find making fun of me awesome." She answered sarcastically.

Bobby laughed "Well perk up I have a surprise for you at home."

Jaylee lit up "Is it bigger than a bread box?"

Bobby nodded "a lot bigger."

The whole ride home Jaylee thought about what Bobby had gotten her.

"Probably paint for my car. That means I don't have to work overtime this weekend. YAY!"

They pulled into the junk yard where their house was. Jaylee was still in a daze.

"Jaylee!" Bobby shouted "Girl get your head outta the clouds and come on!"

Jaylee snapped out of it and Got out of the truck quickly following Bobby inside. She threw her bag on a chair in the corner and turned to Bobby.

"So…" She questioned.

He walked behind her and covered her eyes. Bobby led her through what she guessed was the door to the living room.

"Okay Ima take my hands off but I'm trusting you to keep them eyes shut."

Jaylee laughed and replied "I will! You know I hate ruining surprises."

He backed away and she heard shuffling

"Okay you can open your eyes now"

Jaylee opened her eyes and screamed. There standing before her were her brothers. Sam and Dean had been gone for almost a year now with no contact. If she wasn't so happy to see them alive, she'd kill them! She ran and jumped into Sam's arms. He hugged her tight, almost squeezing the air out of her lungs. "I missed you so much Sammy!" She spoke into his shoulder still clinging onto him.

"Well hello to you too" Dean uttered under his breath.

Jaylee jumped from Sam's arms and attacked Dean. He fell backwards onto the couch that sat behind them Jaylee tumbling onto his lap in a fit of giggles. After all that had happed Dean could say he felt truly happy in that moment.

"I missed you the most Dean" She laughed while holding his face in her hands.

Dean smiled and hugged her tight.

"Okay! I'm making dinner tonight! No Chinese take-out for you two!" Jaylee announced pushing herself off the couch and running into the kitchen.

Sam, Dean, And Bobby sat in the living room for a while talking about what they had all missed in each other's lives that year.

"You boys can't go doing that again. You can't just leave in the middle of the night and never get in touch!" Bobby looked from Sam to Dean "I was worried but worst of all your sister was worried." Sam turned his eyes to the ground. "Shes just been getting over ya'll being gone, she hasn't cried over you two in weeks."

Dean looked to Bobby "We're sorry Bobby we-" He was cut off "I ain't the one who needs apologizing to" He looked at the door leading to the kitchen where Jaylee was cooking.

Dean understood and got up signaling Sam to stay in the living room.

Jaylee was in front of the stove stirring a reddish sauce and kicking the oven shut. Dean thought about how much she had changed in a year. Her long brown hair and been replaced by drastically short, pitch black hair, which was shaved at the sides with two small braids and mowhawked at the top. Her face was now adjourned with piercings. She had one in her brow and two on her nose. Her ears were gauged and two black swirled earrings stuck out of them. Her wardrobe which used to consist of baggy t-shirts, pants that were two sizes to big for her and a pair of running shoes was now replaced. She wore a blue AC/DC tank top, tight black jeans with a bullet belt and a pair of dark military boots on her feet, which he guessed used to belong to bobby.

She had toughened up so much and so fast on the outside, but by how she greeted Sam and him he knew she was still his baby sister and not so imposter.

"Hey!" She called breaking his thoughts.

"What" He said annoyed

"Woah I just asked if you could pass me the pepper, it's on the table behind you." she laughed.

Dean turned and grabbed the shaker with the large "P" painted on it. He tossed it to her and walked to the counter sitting on one of the stools.

"I'm- I'm sorry Jay" Dean said eyes on Jaylee. she stopped what she was doing, sighed, then went back to mixing spices to the sauce.

"I've gotten over it" She spoke after a moment. "This life...I know what comes with having hunters in the family. It hurts for me to think this way but If I lost Sam, you, or Bobby I could accept it. This last year has proved that." She stopped and took a breath.

Dean couldn't believe what he had just heard. His baby sister, his innocent sister was ready to accept death. He wanted her to mourn, be normal not numb. She was becoming the one thing he had hoped and prayed she wouldn't...She was becoming him.
