Written for the guys over at the Supernatural page on facebook when, during one of our many, many rambling arguments I admitted that I do, in fact, write for a soap opera. Of course, this silly, silly little piece is the result. Note: I can be funnier if I want to...
A Supernatural Soap Opera
Hospital room – night int
dean winchester (brooding, handsome, late 20's) stands watch by his brother's (sam winchester - pouty, handsome, mid-20's) bedside as dr. cox delivers the bad news.
dr. cox
I'm afraid your brother suffered a severe case of sub-cranial damage due to the unlikely length of his spine, Mr Winchester.
dean
Is there anything I can do, Doc? I mean… he's my… he's my…
(chokes up, grasps sam's hand, nearly dislodging the iv)
He's my brother.
dr. cox
We can keep him comfortable. Monitor his progress, but beyond that…
dr. cox shrugs, in sympathy, exits. dean looks down at sam, tortured.
dean
Dammit, Sammy! Why'd you have to let her…? Why'd you…?
unable to contain his emotions, dean marches toward the end of the bed. close-up on dean's face as anger bubbles to the surface.
dean
Ruby… I swear… I don't care how long it takes! Wherever you are… however you try to hide… I'll find you!
(emotions erupting)
You hear me?! I'll find…!
he's cut off when the door opens and a gruffly determined ruby barges in.
ruby
Sam!
dean
You!
slam shots of their expressions as these two enemies square off. Dramatic music plays.
ruby
What happened?
dean
Don't even start! You know exactly what happened!
ruby
The doctor said it had something to do with his spine!
dean
And we all know you made him strain his spinal cord when you forced him to pull demons! Admit it!
ruby
No! You've got it all wrong! I wouldn't do that to him!
dean
Enough! Enough lies!
ruby
Dean, I swear, I wouldn't! Sam is… Sam is…
(excruciatingly long pause)
Dean… Sam's my twin brother.
slam shot on dean, gasping in utter shock. suddenly, sam jerks up in bed, gasping for air.
ruby
Sam!
they rush to his side.
dean
Sam? Sammy, are you okay?
sam looks from one to the other, dazed and confused.
sam
I… Wha…?
dean
It's okay. It's okay… take it easy…
sam
Who…? Who are you…? Who am I?
dean and ruby lock eyes, shocked – oh, my god! he's got amnesia!
end scene.
