SECRET GARDEN

By: Vanessa Sgroi

Dean was nowhere to be found and when he and Sam were spending downtime in the bunker that was often an ominous sign. After a couple of hours, Sam couldn't take it anymore and went in search of his errant brother. He finally found him outside standing, sweaty and sunburned, next to a small patch of tilled ground and fledgling plant life.

"Dean, what're you doing out here?"

Dean smiled proudly, announcing, "I planted a garden!"

"A garden? But why? You don't even LIKE vegetables!"

"Yeah, but you do. So now you'll have some fresh ones. Besides I put in a couple of tomato plants, which will be great for BLTs!" Dean paused to muse for a moment. "Too bad you can't plant bacon. That'd be awesome."

"Uh, I hate to burst your bubble but aren't people going to see it? Maybe get suspicious? Kinda spoils the bunker being secret."

"Ah," Dean held up a small device in his hand, "But I have this! Found it in the bunker. Watch!" Dean pressed a button and the small garden all but disappeared.

Sam was amazed. "How..."

Dean shrugged. "Don't know. There were these spikes and this remote and a page of written instructions. And there you have it."

"But how are you going to keep it watered? We're gone a lot."

"Got that covered too." Dean held up another device.

Sam finally allowed himself a smile. "Gotta admit, homegrown vegetables sound really good."

"Yep. And I might even expand my cooking repertoire too."

"Repertoire? You have a cooking repertoire beyond burgers and grilled cheese?" Sam teased.

"Hey, I've made some good stuff in that kitchen, admit it!"

"Yeah, you're right. You have."

"Hey, maybe I'll start my own cookbook..."
