Big purple dinosaur

A/N: I don't own the characters from Supernatural or the car, or even the great music (though I do listen now to classic rock), or the other show.

A/N 2: I know I have two other fics to finish, but I'm sorta blocked, and this idea just took up residence and wouldn't go away. Inspired by the "dumb monster" challenge on P.L. Wynter's forum.

The Winchester brothers ran, breaths huffing out in the cold air as the mob chased them. At the end of the block they skidded to a halt, peeking around the corner. Relieved that the coast was clear, they started out again, hearing the sounds of yelling and crying and running feet begin to fade behind them.

Dean chanced a glance backwards, and saw the tiny horde falling behind. Sam turned to look as well, and the two stopped for a moment, chests heaving, as they saw larger figures had caught up to their pint-size followers. Little bodies were scooped up and soothed, and angry looks from the adults suggested that the brothers keep going.

Sam shook his head and panted, gazing accusingly at his brother. "I can't believe you did that."

"What? The ad said the store was haunted. How was I supposed to know that it was a promotional ploy?" his brother complained.

"Well, the lack of readings on the EMF meter was a clue, don't you think?"

"Hey, it was big and mean-looking and coming right at us. What did you expect me to do?"

Sam gave a long-suffering sigh. "It wasn't even alive. It was just a giant balloon. You've scarred those poor kids for life."

"Hey, those plastic bits will come out of their hair no problem. Anyway, that display deserved to get it. I did a public service. "

"Yeah, but how are we going to double back to the Impala? It's parked across the street." Sam had a sudden thought, and grinned wickedly. "Hey, you think it exploded enough to get some on the car?"

Dean's face paled in horror. "No! You think?"

He caught sight of Sam's face, and had the urge to throttle his brother. "Dude, do not scare me like that."

Sam chortled. "You deserve it. I can't believe you did that." He repeated. "Dude, you shot Barney."

Dean just glared at his brother as they made their way back to the Chevy, avoiding the sniffling vengeful crowd of youngsters covered in purple plastic.

The End.

I know it's short, and kind of a stretch, but I hope you enjoyed it :)
