Sammy's First Day Disaster

The early morning silence was broken by the shrill buzz of an alarm clock. John Winchester's fist shot out and slammed the top of the clock, effectively stopping the intruding noise.

In the next room, John's youngest sat up in the bed with a smile. Sam had been awake for a long time already waiting for the alarm to signal the start of this very special day. Today was Sam's first day of kindergarten! He was finally going to school, just like his big brother, Dean. His brother had been telling Sammy about school for weeks. He couldn't wait to meet his teacher and all his new friends, and see all the books and toys. Dean even said the teacher would take them to the playground twice. It was gonna be so much fun!

A mischievous smile crept onto Sammy's face as he turned to look at his still sleeping sibling. Sammy took both small hands and shook Dean.

"Dean, wake up! It's time to go to school!" Sammy yelled.

Dean simply turned his back on Sam and went back to sleep, mumbling something about annoying little brothers. Not one to be ignored, Sammy decided to turn up the heat. He picked up his pillow, stood up, and started bouncing on the bed while hitting Dean with the pillow.

"Wake Up! Wake Up! Wake Up!" Sammy sang.

"That's it!" Dean cried as he threw off his covers and grabbed his own pillow. "You're gonna get it now, squirt!" With those words, the pillow fight was on!

Ten minutes later, both boys lay back on the bed exhausted from the battle. Catching his breath, Dean plotted their next move.

"Sammy, you go wake up dad while I fix the mess we made of the bed. Okay?" Dean stated.

"Alright" Sammy replied, sliding off the bed and walking out of the room. He tiptoed into his daddy's room. Seeing his daddy sleeping, Sam stood by the door, devising a plan to wake his father up. Sammy got a running start and leaped into the air, landing right on John's stomach! John awoke instantly to find a giggling little boy on his chest.

"A sneak attack, huh?" John said, trying hard to scowl. "This means war, Sammy!" he shouted as he quickly reached out, grabbing his son and tickling him until he surrendered.

When the tickle war ended, John told Sam to go wash up and get dressed. He was taking them to IHOP to eat a pancake breakfast before school. Sammy rushed back into the boys' bedroom to find Dean asleep on the bed.

"Dean, get up! We're going to eat pancakes at IHOP!" Sam hollered as he ran by the bed to the bathroom. At the mention of pancakes, Dean was out of bed and getting dressed in a flash.

Sammy washed his face, brushed his teeth and hair, and went to get his new clothes. He pulled on his AC/DC shirt that Dean had found for him. It was a size too big, but he didn't care. Dean was wearing his, and Sammy wanted to look just like his brother.

Both boys grabbed their book bags and headed out into the living room where their dad was waiting for them. They stood at attention while he gave them the once over. Frowning, John disappeared into the bathroom, coming out with the brush. He did his best to fix his youngest mop of hair. When he was satisfied with the results, he set the brush on the couch, making a mental note to cut Sam's hair later, and herded the boys out to the car.

Sammy chattered about school and all the things he was going to do until they pulled into a parking spot at IHOP. The boys raced to the door of the restaurant, turned, and waited impatiently for their dad to catch up.

Once inside, John ordered pancakes and juice for both boys and a breakfast platter and coffee for himself. Sam colored on his menu while his daddy and Dean talked. After what seemed like hours to Dean, the waitress brought their breakfast. She complimented Sammy on his artwork and asked if he would like her to hang his picture on the children's wall. Sam was thrilled! He walked over to the wall and helped hang his picture. Taking a last look at his masterpiece, Sam smiled and hopped back to Daddy and Dean.

The table was soon silent except for the sounds of the forks cutting into the pancakes. As soon as the last bite of pancake was devoured, John went to the register and paid the bill. Looking at his boys, John had to laugh. Somehow, both boys had managed to get more syrup on them than they had gotten on the pancakes. It was all over their faces and hands. There was even syrup in Sam's hair. Sighing, he quickly took the boys to the restroom to get them cleaned up again. He wet a paper towel and cleaned their sticky faces and hands. He wet Sam's hair and did his best to get the syrup out before he lead them back out to the impala. The three Winchesters drove out of the parking lot and headed to Washington Elementary School for the first day of school.
