SCENE 1

Michael is a now 17-year-old boy who grew up living a fairly normal life. His father, Sam finished his getting his law degree and is now working in a small law firm in their hometown. After Michael was born Dean got a job working at a local garage and now owns it. Still residing in the bunker Sam felt obligated to let Michael know about their past. It took Michael a few months to cope with it but he finally came around.

Michael grew up to be a great kid. He's pretty quiet like his dad but had a lot of personality. Given the chance he's not afraid to speak his mind. He's a smart kid too, also following in his dad's footsteps.

It's the end of the school year and Michael is at his locker exchanging his books for his next class. As he closes his locker he see's his good friends Shawn and Lindsay approach him.

LINDSAY

So I totally failed.

SHAWN

Yeah seriously. I'm gonna have to do some major extra credit to revive myself.

Michael shrugs.

MICHAEL

Eh, I don't know. I didn't think it was that bad.

LINDSAY

You're joking…

SHAWN

Lindsay you forget who you're talking to. We're dealing with a prime genius here.

LINDSAY

Aw, right. A gentlemen and a scholar.

SHAWN

Us mere peasants can only learn from your wisdom.

Michael rolls his eyes.

MICHAEL

You guys are hilarious.

Michael begins to walk away and Shawn and Lindsay catch up with him.

LINDSAY

So did you buy your tickets yet?

MICHAEL

Tickets for what?

LINDSAY

Hello? Prom?

Michael stops walking and then turns around to face Shawn and Lindsay.

MICHAEL

Oh yeah. I don't think I'm going.

SHAWN

What are you grounded or something?

MICHAEL

No I just don't see the point really.

SHAWN

The point is to spend time with your friends before graduation.

MICHAEL

Oh come on. I'll see you on the Monday after Prom. I just don't see the point in everybody spending way too much on a tux and tickets to sit there and eat mediocre food and have painfully awkward small talk. It's stupid.

Lindsay speaks in an angered tone.

LINDSAY

Fine. Then don't go.

Lindsay forcefully bumps past Michael and walks away at a brisk pace. Michael stands there confused.

MICHAEL

What the hell is her problem?

Shawn pats Michael on the shoulder.

SHAWN

You are so clueless. Talk to you later.

Shawn walks to his next class.

SCENE 2

Michael gets home from school and dumps his backpack on the war room. He then makes his way into the kitchen to grab a soda. A few minutes later Dean walks in with a stack of mail in his hand. Dean plops a single piece of mail in front of Michael.

DEAN

You got mail.

Michael is slow to go grab it, takes a look at it and then puts it back down.

What is it?

MICHAEL

Prom ticket ordering forms.

Dean continues to thumb through the rest of the mail.

DEAN

Yeah? Who are you gonna ask?

MICHAEL

No one.

DEAN

Going stag, I can respect that.

MICHAEL

I'm not going.

Dean looks up from the mail and puts it on the table.

DEAN

What do you mean you're not going?

MICHAEL

I'm. Not. Going. Why does nobody understand that?

DEAN

Why don't you wanna go? I thought that was every teen's fantasy?

MICHAEL

Yeah well not me.

Michael takes a swig of his soda.

You go to your prom?

Dean smirks.

DEAN

Yes and no.

Michael looks at him very interested.

I never went to my prom but I went to your Dad's prom and… I kind of…stole his date.

MICHAEL

Wow…

DEAN

Yeah not one of my proudest moments but you should still go.

MICHAEL

So I can steal someone's prom date?

DEAN

You know what I mean.

Michael gets up from the table and grabs his soda.

MICHAEL

Look I just don't wanna go. I'll be in my room.

Michael walks out of the kitchen, picks up his backpack and heads into his bedroom. He then throws his backpack on his bed in frustration. Sam comes home a few hours later from work to find Dean with his feet up and a sipping on a beer watching the game.

SAM

How was work?

DEAN

Welp a car didn't fall on me so I call that a win.

Sam chuckles. He puts his briefcase down and looks around the room.

SAM

Where's Mike?

DEAN

His room. Hasn't come out since he got home.

SAM

Did he eat?

DEAN

Said he wasn't hungry.

SAM

Is he sick?

DEAN

I don't know. Why don't you ask him, he's your kid.

SAM

You were home with him all day. You could've asked him.

DEAN

All I know is that he doesn't want to go to prom.

SAM

What? Why?

DEAN

No clue.

Sam knocks on Michaels door and lets himself into his bedroom.

SAM

You okay?

Michael was clearly doing homework on his bed. He had his laptop out and had a Word Document open. More or less writing a paper for class. Michael doesn't look up from his laptop.

MICHAEL

I'm fine.

SAM

Uncle Dean told me that you don't want to go to Prom.

MICHAEL

Nope.

SAM

Why not?

Michael sighs and then closes his laptop and looks at Sam with an annoyed glare.

MICHAEL

I'm tired of everyone talking about Prom. I don't want to go and that's the end of it.

Sam puts his hands up in defense.

SAM

Okay fine. Easier on my wallet I guess.

MICHAEL

Yeah I guess…

SAM

You sure you okay?

MICHAEL

Fine.

SAM

Okay…

Sam leaves Michael's room and closes the door behind him. Michael puts his hand to his head and winces at the pain. He hisses at the pain and closes his eyes. While his eyes are closed the lights in his room flicker. When he opens his eyes the flickering stops.

SCENE 3

It's the middle of the night and Michael is tossing and turning in his room. He's having an incredible vivid dream but the harder he concentrates on it the more pain he feels. It's like the feeling of worst migraine in the world but worse. He begins to feel a blinding white-hot searing pain in his head. He's now screaming and the lights in his bedroom flicker vigorously, books on his shelf start flying off. Sam and Dean burst through the door. Dean almost gets knocked in the head with a book with some debris but ducks just in time. Sam runs over to Michael who is now sitting up with his hands on his head screaming. Sam grabs Michael's shoulders and shakes him over and over.

SAM

Michael! Mike! Wake up!

DEAN

Get him up Sam!

Sam glares back at Dean.

SAM

I'm trying!

Sam focuses back on Michael.

MICHAEL!

Sam shakes even harder. Finally Michael stops screaming and open's his eyes. The lights turn back on and the books stop flying all over the room. Michael stares at his dad breathing heavily.

What the hell just happened?

MICHAEL

I-I-I don't know.

DEAN

Did you do all-

Dean gestures to the destroyed room.

Of this?

MICHAEL

I'm not sure. I was dreaming and then, my head.

Michael is reminded of the pain and he touches his head.

SAM

Hey we don't have to talk about right now okay. We can talk in the morning.

Sam gives him a weary smile.

MICHAEL

Okay.

DEAN

You need us just let us now.

Michael nods. Sam gives Michael a quick kiss on the head, he then walks out of his room following Dean. Sam and Dean get about 3 paces away from Michaels room and Dean turns around to face Sam.

So what the hell was that?

SAM

I've got no clue.

DEAN

Did you see his room? It was like a scene from Apocalypse now.

SAM

I know! I know…

Sam puts his hands in his pajama pants pockets.

I'm gonna call the school tomorrow and let them know he'll be absent and then I'll call the office and do the same. We gotta figure out what the hell that was.

DEAN

Telekinesis maybe?

SAM

But how? Where would he get it?

Dean shrugs.

DEAN

You got me. What about the headaches?

Sam huffs.

SAM

Visions?

DEAN

Visions? Are you talking about the visions you got when you were a kid? But yours weren't that intense. Were they?

SAM

No not even close. I mean don't get me wrong they were painful but nowhere near to what he was experiencing.

Sam wipes his face with his hand accompanied with a frustrated sigh.

DEAN

You're not going to sleep tonight are you?

Sam lets out a breathy short laugh.

SAM

No.

DEAN

I'll make some coffee.

SCENE 4

The next morning Michael comes downstairs with his backpack around his shoulder and heads into the kitchen. Sam and Dean are at the table quietly sipping coffee. Neither of them slept a wink the night before. Up all night brainstorming what could be wrong with Michael. Michael goes for the fridge and grabs an apple from the crisper and takes a bite.

MICHAEL

You guys look worse than I do.

SAM

You can put your backpack down your not going to school today.

MICHAEL

I can't stay here I have a test today.

SAM

Don't worry I already talked to the school.

Michael begins to get defensive.

MICHAEL

What did you tell them?

SAM

Don't worry I just told them that your sick. Sit. Talk.

Michael sits at the kitchen table and joins Sam and Dean.

MICHAEL

About what?

DEAN

About the Lakers, Celtics score. What do you think?

MICHAEL

I get headaches and have weird dreams. So what?

SAM

Visions.

MICHAEL

Visions?

SAM

That's what I said.

MICHAEL

I don't get visions.

SAM

Tell me. Do your dreams seem to happen later down the line?

Michael hesitates to answer.

MICHAEL

Sometimes…and sometimes… I see the past.

DEAN

What?

MICHAEL

A lot of my dre—visions focus on you and Uncle Dean's life, before I was born. I've seen you guys go on hunts and stuff. But last night… last night was the worst it's ever been.

SAM

So then what did you see last night?

Michael doesn't respond. Instead he looks down at his feet.

It's okay Mike. You can tell us.

MICHAEL

I saw when you were pregnant with me.

SAM

You did?

MICHAEL

Yeah. And you wanted to get an abortion.

Sam and Dean look at each other and the room gets very quiet.

But my vision was wrong right?

Sam doesn't answer.

Right?

SAM

Listen Michael-

MICHAEL

Wow. Here I thought it was a nightmare but looks like it really happened.

SAM

It's not what you think.

MICHAEL

So you didn't want to kill me before I even had a chance to defend myself? Because that's what I'm thinking.

SAM

I was scared back then. I didn't know what I was going to do. It was a very complicated situation. It obviously wasn't a normal pregnancy and I wasn't sure what I was going to do.

Michael angrily gets up from the table and walks out of the room. Sam and Dean follow him.

Hey! Let's talk about this!

Michael runs into his room and slams the door shut, locking it on his way in. Sam bangs on the door.

Michael!

Dean touches Sam shoulder to stop him from banging down the door.

DEAN

Let it go. He'll come out eventually.

Sam and Dean make their way into the library. Sam has his arms crossed across his chest very tightly.

SAM

I can't believe this. He hates me. I would hate me too if I were him.

DEAN

He doesn't hate you. He's a teenager, this sort of thing happens.

SAM

Dean this isn't like I grounded him or take his favorite toy away, hate, this like I never want to see you again hate.

DEAN

He'll come around.

SAM

And if he doesn't?

DEAN

He will.

Sam takes a breath.

SAM

My son has powers, he found out about his own abortion and why are you so calm about this?

DEAN

Somebody has to be.

Sam smirks.

SCENE 5

It was lunchtime and Sam had made Michael a sandwich and he put it on a plate to give it to him. He knocked on his bedroom door.

SAM

Hey Mike I got you a sandwich.

No answer.

Mike? Look I know your mad but you gotta eat sometime.

No answer.

You don't have to talk to me but just please take the sandwich.

No answer. This time Sam tries the door and it's unlocked. He opens the door and see's that the room is empty. Sam goes into panic mode.

Mike?

He then notices the open window in his room.

Dean!

Dean runs from the library into Michael's room where Sam is standing in the middle of breathing very heavily.

DEAN

What? What's-

SAM

He's gone! He ran away! He fricken ran away!

Sam puts his hands on the back of his head.

Where could he have gone!

DEAN

Okay. Easy. Lets just think. He couldn't have gotten far. Maybe he's with his friends.

SAM

They're still at school.

DEAN

Okay then I'll call the school.

SAM

And I'll call his friends houses.

Half an hour later Dean hangs up the phone and meets a broken Sam in the library.

DEAN

So I called everyone from the school and his friends and I got nothing.

Dean puts the phone on the table.

I can't believe he stole my car. How did he even get it started? I've the got the keys.

SAM

He must have hot-wired it.

DEAN

Oh yeah I did teach him how to do that.

SAM

Remind me to thank you later.

DEAN

Sure. Did you try Bobby?

SAM

Yeah. He said he'd keep an ear out.

DEAN

Alright then we just wait I guess.

SAM

I guess…

As Dean and Sam wait for a phone call, Charlie opens her front door to see Michael standing before her with his backpack and the Impala in her driveway.

CHARLIE

Um… Michael? What are you doing here?

MICHAEL

Hey. I'm sorry to just show up like this but I was wondering if I could stay here for a bit.

CHARLIE

Yeah of course. Are you okay? Where's your dad?

MICHAEL

We had a fight.

CHARLIE

Does he know you're here?

MICHAEL

No. Please don't tell him.

Michael glances at the ground.

I just needed to get out of the house.

CHARLIE

Okay. Okay.

She opened the door wider and let him in.

Come on in.

Michael walks into the house and is then greeted by another women dressed a form fitting black dress. She looks at Michael confused but smiles anyway.

HEATHER

Hi.

CHARLIE

Mike this is my girlfriend Heather and Heather this is my Godson Michael

Michael then notices that Charlie is also wearing a dress and her hair is all curly.

MICHAEL

Oh my God I'm so stupid. I ruined your date didn't I? I knew I should've called first.

CHARLIE

No it's okay. We can reschedule for another time. It's no big deal.

Charlie looks to Heather.

Do you mind?

HEATHER

No! Not at all! It's totally fine.

Heather grabs her purse and heads out the door but not without giving Charlie a quick kiss goodbye. She looks back at Michael with a smile.

It was very nice meeting you.

MICHAEL

Yeah you too.

Heather leaves the house.

CHARLIE

Do you want to talk about it?

MICHAEL

Not really.

CHARLIE

Okay. We don't have to. Are you hungry?

MICHAEL

Sort of.

CHARLIE

Okay, I can make you something if you'd like.

MICHAEL

Sure.

CHARLIE

Okay why don't you make yourself at home and hang out in the living room and I'll make you something.

MICHAEL

Thanks.

Michael takes his backpack with him into the living room and sits down on the couch. Charlie hurries into the kitchen and breaks out her cellphone and calls Sam. Sam is nervously tapping his finger on the library table when he feels Charlie call him.

SAM

Hello?

CHARLIE

Sam its Charlie.

SAM

Hey, listen I don't really have time to talk right now.

CHARLIE

Michael is here.

Sam quickly stands up.

SAM

He is! Oh thank God!

Sam takes a large sigh of relief.

Well is he okay? What did he say to you?

CHARLIE

Yeah he's fine. Quiet. But fine. And not much, all he said was that you and him got in a fight. That must of have been some fight for him to come all the way up here.

SAM

It was just a misunderstanding of sorts.

CHARLIE

Okay…

SAM

He found about the abortion.

CHARLIE

Oh my God. How?

SAM

That's the other part. He's getting these visions where he can see the past and the future.

CHARLIE

Whatever happened to teenagers getting pimples and dealing with puberty?

SAM

Tell me about it. All right we'll I'm my way.

CHARLIE

Whoa. Whoa. You can't come here now.

SAM

Why not?

CHARLIE

Because clearly he's upset about it all and the last thing he needs right now is his dad dragging him back home. He needs time. Let him spend the night and you can pick him up in the morning.

Sam sighs.

Don't worry. I'll keep a good eye on him.

SAM

Okay. I trust you.

CHARLIE

Thank you.

SAM

I'll see you in the morning.

CHARLIE

See you then.

Sam hangs up the phone. Dean walks into the library.

DEAN

Who was on the phone?

SAM

Charlie. Michael went to her house.

Dean has the same reaction as Sam when he found out. He breathes a loud sigh of relief.

DEAN

Oh thank God! I don't know why we didn't think about calling her. Well whatever she found him and we can go get him.

SAM

Actually Charlie and I decided to wait till the morning for me to pick him up.

Dean arches his eyebrow in confusion.

And I agree with her.

DEAN

You do?

Sam hoists himself up, with a grunt, from the table.

SAM

Yeah I do. It'll give Mike time to cool off and me time figure out how I'm going to deal with all of this.

SCENE 6

Charlie comes into the living room with a Chinese take out container and a fork. She hands it off to Michael

CHARLIE

I know I said I'd make you something and then I remembered that I don't cook but I do order Chinese takeout like a boss.

Michael laughs.

MICHAEL

Thank you. This is great.

Charlie sits next to him. Michael takes a bite out of the lo-mein

CHARLE

I know it's not like Uncle Dean's cooking but I think it'll do the trick.

MICHAEL

Trust me it does.

Charlie clears her throat.

CHARLIE

Look I know you don't want to talk about it but I think it might be good for you.

MICHAEL

You wouldn't understand.

CHARLIE

Try me.

MICHAEL

I feel as if everything is happening at once. I just found out that my Dad was going to abort me and then I find out that I have these weird powers that come with these terrible headaches and…I just. Why me?

CHARLIE

You're dad and uncle can help with this. They're kind of experts in this.

MICHAEL

Exactly! I'm a monster and if there's one thing I learned from my visions, they always kill the monster. No wonder he wanted me dead.

Charlie presses her hand on his knee.

CHARLIE

Hey. That's not true and you know it. Your Dad and Uncle love you so much.

Michael looks up at her with tears in his eyes.

MICHAEL

Then why didn't he want me?

CHARLIE

Oh, kid, I was there. He did want you. He was just scared. You gotta understand where he was coming from too.

Michael scoffs.

Seriously. Think about it. He was a full time hunter and then he finds out that he's done the impossible. He's pregnant with a kid and he was afraid to tell his brother.

MICHAEL

Why would he be afraid to tell him?

CHARLIE

He didn't know how he would react. He thought maybe he'd want him to get rid of it, and even though I tried to convince him otherwise he believed what he wanted to believe.

Michael rolls his eyes. Charlie then hits Michael behind the head. Michael grabs his head in pain.

MICHAEL

Ow!

CHARLIE

But he didn't do it did he!

MICHAEL

But he wanted to!

CHARLIE

Don't you get it! No he didn't. He was only going to do it because he thought Dean wanted him to get one. Your Dad never wanted one because he loved you so damn much.

Michael stares at the floor and Charlie watches a tear drop from his face. Michael sniffles.

MICHAEL

I'm a terrible son.

Charlie wraps her arm around Michael and pulls him into her body.

CHARLIE

No you're not. You saw something and you thought it was real. I understand that. But now you know the truth. Your Dad loves you and never wanted to get rid of you.

MICHAEL

I'm still a freak.

CHARLIE

Welcome to the club honey.

Michael finally smiled.

SCENE 7

Charlie and Michael spent the rest of the evening talking out all of the other problems Michael was having. The subject mostly stuck to his new powers. Michael slept in Charlie's room and Charlie took the couch. She was in a deep sleep when she heard her doorbell going off at 8:00AM. Not such an ideal time considering Michael and Charlie stayed up all night talking. She slowly makes her way over to front door to see Sam standing on her porch with a coffee in his hand.

SAM

Morning. Did I wake you? You said to be here in the morning.

CHARLIE

Yeah and by that I meant, like, 11:00 or something.

Sam walks into the house and she heads straight for the kitchen and puts a pot of coffee on.

SAM

Sorry. So is he still here?

CHARLIE

What do you mean still. Of course he is. He's asleep. We were up all night talking.

SAM

Is he okay?

CHARLIE

I think he'll be just fine.

SAM

Good. Did you talk about the whole…. you know…

CHARLIE

Yes we did, and then some. Trust me when I say he's much better.

Charlie pours her coffee in a Stars Wars themed mug and Sam and Charlie continue to talk until they see Michael standing in the doorway.

SAM

Morning.

Michael looks over to Charlie.

MICHAEL

You told him where I was?

CHARLIE

I had to. Take it from someone who ran away for a living, the parent always worries. I couldn't put your dad through that.

An awkward silence airs out throughout the room. Charlie gets up from her chair with coffee in hand.

I'm just gonna get out of your hair and let you guys talk.

She exits out of the kitchen and leaves Michael avoiding eye contact with Sam.

SAM

Do you wanna sit? Maybe some breakfast?

MICHAEL

No. I'm good.

Michael then heaves a sigh and stares at the floor.

I'm sorry for running away. I was wrong and I shouldn't of put you through what I put you through.

SAM

It's okay.

Michael snaps his head up and looks at Sam confused.

MICHAEL

Itis?

SAM

Don't get me wrong, what you did was stupid, but I'm just happy that you're okay.

Now Michael really felt guilty.

MICHAEL

I was just angry. I thought that you didn't want me…I thought I was just some hunt that went wrong.

SAM

But now you know the truth right?

MICHAEL

Yeah. Charlie explained it to me.

Sam nods. He then gets up from his chair and leans on the table.

SAM

Look I know how you feel. I was just like you. A problem occurred and instead of talking about it I would run away.

MICHAEL

You ran away.

SAM

Yeah, and for more than 24 hours most times. I once went all the way to Flagstaff for 2 weeks. It was the first time I was ever on my own.

MICHAEL

Why did you run away?

Sam purses his lips at the memory.

SAM

My Dad and I got in a fight about hunting. It was the usual fight. I didn't want to be a hunter and he wouldn't hear of it, but that time he just sent me over the edge. So one night when he was out getting food, Dean had fell asleep on the couch and I took off.

MICHAEL

Wow.

SAM

Yeah. And Dean was pissed at me because my dad didn't get mad at me for running, he was mad at Dean for not keeping a better eye on me.

Sam steps a little closer to Michael.

I don't want that to be us. If you have a problem or we get in a fight I want you to talk to me. I don't want you to feel like you have to run away or you have to leave. Your problems are my problems okay?

At this point Sam had his hands on Michaels shoulders and was staring at him in the eye. Michael nodded his head trying to hold back tears. Sam then pulls him in for a hug.

SCENE 8

Michael is the first one to walk into the house with his overnight bag slung around his shoulder. The minute he opens the door Dean is staring at him with his arms crossed.

DEAN

If there's one scratch at that car, it's your ass.

MICHAEL

Got it.

Dean smirks and then playfully shoves Michael.

DEAN

Good to have you home kid.

Michael returns the favor with another playful shove then continues to walk to his room. Sam trails behind him and closes the front door.

So how is he?

SAM

Good. We talked it all out.

DEAN

Did you discuss his powers?

SAM

We'll get to that. One problem at a time.

Dean agrees. A few hours later the door bell rings. Sam goes to answer the door and Lindsay is at the door with a couple of books in her hands. She smiles at Sam.

LINSDAY

Hi Mr. Winchester, I know that Mike is sick but he's missed a lot of school and I didn't want him to get behind in class so I brought him his homework. I hope that's okay.

Sam smiles at Lindsay's innocence. He really liked the girl. She was always very courteous to him and Dean and had a sweet complex that he thought was good for Michael to have around.

SAM

Of course it is. He's in his room.

Lindsay face lit up.

LINDSAY

Great! Thank you!

She makes her way downstairs and into Michael's room. She knocks on his door but opens it before he could respond. Michael is on his bed with his laptop on his bed. He looks up shocked to see her.

Hey.

She lets herself into his room and closes the door.

MICHAEL

Hey. What are you doing here?

She puts her bag down and drops his books on his desk.

LINDSAY

I thought I would give you your homework. I know how you AP students love your homework.

Michael chuckles.

MICHAEL

Yeah right.

LINDSAY

So are you feeling any better?

MICHAEL

Yeah much.

LINDSAY

Good.

Lindsay sits down on his bed.

MICHAEL

So how's school been?

LINSDAY

Eh, boring as usual.

MICHAEL

How's Shawn?

Lindsay scoffs.

LINSDSAY

Annoying as usual. Although he did ask Gretchen from History to Prom.

MICHAEL

Really? What did she say?

LINDSAY

She said yes, but if I was asked the way she was asked I would say yes too. He got the school choir to sing to her before class.

MICHAEL

You're kidding!

LINSDAY

Wish I were. So you're really not going to go?

MICHAEL

Nah.

LINDSAY

What if someone were to ask you?

Michael runs his hand through his hair and shrugs.

MICHAEL

I don't know I still don't think I'd go.

Lindsay gets annoyed and accidently yells.

LINDSAY

But why!

Michael looks at her concerned.

MICHAEL

Lindsay, what is this all about?

Lindsay looks at floor.

LINSDAY

I want to go to prom with you.

Michael is speechless. He lets out a breath of air.

MICHAEL

Lindsay…I just can't.

Lindsay laughs at herself and her face gets red.

LINDSAY

I should've guessed. Sucks because I already dropped $200 on my dress.

MICHAEL

That doesn't mean you can't go.

LINSDAY

You just don't get it. Do you have any idea what it's like to have your mom bully you about my social life?

Michael doesn't know what to say. He's never seen this side of Lindsay before.

All damn day she just criticizes me and tells me that I'll never get a boyfriend if I don't dress nicer. I'll never go to prom if I don't start wearing makeup. 'When I was your age I was much prettier.' But does she care about my straight A's? Or how about my perfect GPA? No! So I thought I could make her proud or at least shut her up if I could get a date for prom and I promised her I would. And now…. well now…I just look stupid.

Lindsay stares at the ground.

No one at this stupid school even knows who I am.

MICHAEL

That's not true.

It was true

LINDSAY

Yes it is. And I'm sick of it.

Lindsay gets anger in her eyes. She then stands up, grabs her bag and storms out of Michael's room. He tries to run after but it was no use. She was out of the house. Dean saw the tail end of Lindsay running out of the house. He then looks at Michael who has a look of concern on his face.

DEAN

What was that about?

MICHAEL

I'm not sure.

SCENE 9

The next day in the afternoon Michael is having another nightmare that altered the entire bunker. Sam and Dean run into Michael's room and the scene is worse then it was the first time. Michael is in his bed screaming, tossing and turning. The wind is so fierce in his room that it took both Sam and Dean to break open the door. Once they got in the door they had to hold on to something that was bolt to the floor to keep from flying away. Sam manages to get to Michaels bed and shake him awake. Nothing was working. He then backhanded Michael with some force and causing him to wake up. Michael sits up.

DEAN

Jesus!

SAM

Are you okay?

Michael nods while rubbing his sore cheek.

MICHAEL

Yeah. I'm okay.

SAM

What did you see?

MICHAEL

I um…I don't remember.

DEAN

How can you not remember? From the looks of it you saw Titanic Part 2!

Michael snaps at Dean.

MICHAEL

I don't remember okay! It's like looking at a dream. It can take a while to piece it all together?

SAM

Do you remember anything at all?

Michael swallows.

MICHAEL

Red. Lots of red

DEAN

That can't be good.

MICHAEL

People were screaming and yelling…but I can't… I can't remember why. It's going to take me a few more nights for me to see the rest of it.

DEAN

I don't think your room can handle a few more nights of this.

Dean gestures around to the destroyed room.

MICHAEL

I feel as if what ever I'm seeing is gonna happen soon.

SAM

How soon?

MICHAEL

I don't know.

Michael sighs.

If only I could see my dream again and remember it.

Dean mumbles to himself

DEAN

African dream root.

Sam turns to him with his eyebrow raised.

SAM

What?

Dean speaks louder

DEAN

We can use African dream root. That way he can walk around in his dream. Get a better understanding of what's happening.

MICHAEL

Wait what?

SAM

African dream root will allow you interact with your dream.

MICHAEL

Like inception?

Sam chuckles.

SAM

Basically.

DEAN

I think I got some in the trunk. I'll be right back.

Dean runs out of Michael's room to his car.

MICHAEL

Does this African Dream whatever, does it hurt?

SAM

Well that depends.

Exasperated.

MICHAEL

On what!

SAM

On you. If you're not careful you can still get hurt. I'm speaking from experience.

MICHAEL

If I want to wake up, how do I do that?

SAM

You just wake up.

Michael speaks in a sarcastic tone.

MICHAEL

Sounds easy enough.

SAM

Uncle Dean and I will be right here the whole time. We're not going let anything bad happen.

MICHAEL

Okay.

Dean comes back with a mason jar filled with the root and a cup with some liquid in it. Michael didn't ask what it was. Dean hands over the cup and drops the root in it. Dean then pucks a strand of Michaels hair out and sprinkles it into the cup. Michael looks at it disgusted.

I'm supposed to drink this?

DEAN

Oh, it taste worse then it looks.

MICHAEL

Great…

Michael tips the coffee mug back and drinks all of tea in two large gulps.

Ugh. I'm gonna vomit.

SAM

You'll be fine. Now lie back and close your eyes. Try to relax and go to sleep.

Michael does as he told and lies back on his bed and closes his eyes. It doesn't take long for him to drift off to sleep. Michael then realizes that he's in the school gym and all of his peers are in formal dresses and tuxes. It's the prom. Everybody is facing one way watching the stage. On the stage is Lindsay is wearing a crown.

LINDSAY

None of you even care who am I do you!

The doors to the gym slam shut and lock.

All of you will pay. All of you will die!

She throws up her hands and a fire starts in the back of the gym by the doors. Everybody screams and runs in a panic. Michael tried to get to the stage but could never reach her. Everybody was trampling over him, pushing him out of the way, and trying to find an exit. Lindsay's eyes were black. With a flick of a wrist she sent students flying onto the bleachers, hitting decorations. The fire had spread into the middle of the gym, more than half the student body had burned up and Michael couldn't breath. The smoke reached his lungs and couldn't stop himself from coughing. He was scared. He wanted to wake up. He needed to wake up. Just like that he was back in his room and woke up gasping for air. Sam and Dean stared at him with anticipation.

SAM

So? What happened?

Panting

MICHAEL

Prom. Lindsay is going to burn down the prom!

DEAN

What? Why?

MICHAEL

She's pissed because she was an outcast in high school. Plus her mom put her in her shadow. Basically bullied her for all of her life. Dammit I should've just gone to Prom with her.

SAM

This isn't your fault.

MICHAEL

I need to stop her.

Michael gets up from the bed but before he could take another step Sam gets in front of him.

SAM

Whoa hold on. We got to think of a plan first.

MICHAEL

Dad, you didn't see it. You didn't feel the flames. She burns everybody alive. Shawn's going to be there!

SAM

I know but we gotta be smart about this. Now how much time do we have?

MICHAEL

It's tonight.

Michael looks at his watch.

In like 2 hours

DEAN

Alright we're gonna have to sneak you in. I'll lend you my tux so you can at least look the part.

MICHAEL

Okay.

SAM

Wait. He's not going in there by himself! You heard him; the place goes up in flames.

DEAN

I didn't say we would leave him alone. We'll be there helping him to get everybody out the gym.

SCENE 10

Michael walks out of the bathroom with his bowtie undone.

MICHAEL

I can't put this stupid thing on!

SAM

Here. Allow me.

Sam goes to aid correctly ties the bowtie.

You know if you weren't going to Prom to stop your friend from pulling a Carrie, this would be a real tender moment.

Michael chuckles.

MICHAEL

Right.

Sam finishes tying the bowtie.

SAM

There you're all set.

Sam takes a good look at Michael.

You look good.

Dean comes in with a box and hands it over to Michael.

MICHAEL

A boutonniere? You got me a boutonniere?

Dean puts his hands in his pockets.

DEAN

If you're going to go stop an evil Prom I thought you should really sell it.

Michael smiles.

MICHAEL

Thanks.

Michael opens the box and fumbles with the pin until Dean intervenes and pins it on his lapel.

DEAN

Wow for someone who didn't want to go to the Prom you're really not doing a good job convincing us.

MICHAEL

Yeah well, it's not like I'm going to enjoy myself or anything.

Sam looks at Michael seriously.

SAM

Now you know what you might have to do tonight right?

MICHAEL

What do you mean?

SAM

Lindsay is evil.

MICHAEL

She's not evil, Dad. She's my friend.

SAM

Your friend is planning on killing your entire student body. She has to be stopped. At all costs.

MICHAEL

If you're asking to kill my friend, it's not going to happen.

SAM

It might.

MICHAEL

Just because you're cool with killing your friends doesn't mean I am.

Michael grabs his keys.

We should get going.

Michael storms out. Dean and Sam take a glance at each other before they head out. This isn't their first rodeo but it is for Michael and watching him be so naïve and head strong about the whole situation hurts them. They know what he probably will have to do, even if Michael doesn't want to believe it.

SCENE 11

They get to the gym and the Prom is in full swing. The lights and music illuminate the gym. They pull up in front of the gym and Michael gets out and begins walking to the gym. Sam jumps out of the passenger seat and runs to Michael to stop him.

SAM

Hey wait!

Michael turns around, somewhat annoyed.

MICHAEL

What?

SAM

You remember the plan right?

MICHAEL

I remember my plan.

SAM

Yeah well your plan might not be too effective.

MICHAEL

Are we gonna do this now? Seriously?!

SAM

I just don't want you to get hurt!

MICHAEL

But you rather me kill my best friend! Is that it?

SAM

No! I-just. Look I've done this kind of thing before. I know what I'm talking about.

Michael turns away and walks toward the gym.

Dammit!

Dean gets out of the car. Sam walks over to him.

He's gonna get himself killed.

DEAN

He's a Winchester; he'll make the right decision. Let's get ready.

Michael gets into the Prom without any problems. Luckily the students collecting tickets were too high to even realize that he didn't have one. He gets into the gym and everyone is standing facing the stage. The principle is on the stage accompanied with a senior student with a crown on his head. A student bumps into Michael and then he realizes that the student was Shawn.

MICHAEL

Hey Shawn.

SHAWN

Michael! Dude I thought you weren't coming! Where's your date?

MICHAEL

I don't have one. I'm not here for the dance I'm trying to save everyone.

SHAWN

What the hell are you talking about?

MICHAEL

I need to find Lindsay. Do you know where she is?

Shawn shrugs.

SHAWN

I didn't think she was gonna come.

MICHAEL

So you haven't seen her?

SHAWN

No. What's going on?

MICHAEL

Listen to me you need to get out of here. My Dad and Uncle are outside waiting for you.

SHAWN

You want me to leave? Why?

MICHAEL

It's a long story but cliff notes are; Lindsay is going to destroy this place and if I don't hurry you're going to die.

SHAWN

What? But what about my date?

MICHAEL

Take her with you, just go!

Michael pushes Shawn towards the doors. Michael continues to look around for Lindsay then he hears the Principle on the microphone.

PRINCIPLE

Okay, ladies and gentlemen time to announce our Prom Queen.

The Principle takes out an envelope from his back pocket.

Now without further ado, Lawrence Central High School Prom Queen is…

The Principle opens the letter and takes a long pause and looks at the name very confused.

Um…Lindsay Shaw?

The crowd gives a scattered applause. You can hear people in the audience question why she won. Michael belives she must of stuffed the ballots. Lindsay makes her way through the crowd but Michael couldn't get to her before she walked up the staircase leading to the stage. A student in a dress puts the crown on top of Lindsay's head. She then approaches the microphone. Before she could speak Michael spoke up and yells.

MICHAEL

Lindsay stop!

Everybody turns around and faces Michael and he makes his way through the crowd and onto the stage. Embarrassed Lindsay chuckles but it was clear that she was very angry. She covers the microphone so the crowd can't hear her.

LINDSAY

What are you doing here? So first you tell me you hate Prom and now you show up to rub it in my face?

MICHAEL

I'm here to stop you. I know what your about to do.

LINDSAY

It's too late. They all are gonna die for what they did to me all these years. Maybe now my mother can see the legacy I left at the school.

MICHAEL

This isn't you.

LINDSAY

You're right. I'm better.

Lindsay turns to the crowd.

You all will pay.

She lifts up her hands and the back of the gym catches on the fire and is quickly spreading. Panic goes through the entire student body. Every body is trying to find an exit. Lindsay raises another hand and throws some students into the bleachers. Michael's vision was coming true. He had to stop this.

MICHAEL

Lindsay you have to stop this! Where did you get those powers?

LINDSAY

A little Latin and an old book can get you some wonderful things Mike.

The stage was beginning to break.

MICHAEL

Killing everyone isn't going to fix things.

LINDSAY

It's a start.

MICHAEL

I don't want to hurt you Lindsay.

Lindsay laughs.

LINDSAY

You already have, Winchester.

She uses her hand and flings Michael off the stage and into the panicked crowd. After a moment of agony he gets himself up and calls his Dad. Sam and Dean are trying to open the door but it's too hot and they can't pry it open.

SAM

We can't get the doors open!

MICHAEL

It's too late; she's got too much power. I don't know what to do.

SAM

You gotta first open these doors.

MICHAEL

There is a firewall in front of them. I can't get to them.

SAM

You don't need to, use your power.

MICHAEL

What? I've never used it before! It only happens when I dream.

SAM

You gotta tap into it somehow.

MICHAEL

I don't know how!

SAM

Michael, if you don't your friends are going to die! Do you want that?

Students were running around and bumping into him. He didn't always get along with his classmates but he certainly didn't want them to die. If anyone died tonight he would blame himself. It's up to him to stop this.

MICHAEL

No. But I don't-

SAM

They're going to die Michael!

The headache is coming back. He puts his hands to his temple.

MICHAEL

No!

Just like that a vast gust of wind comes through and breaks the doors open. The wind was so powerful it blew out enough of the fire, allowing students to pass threw it. Students run outside toward Sam and Dean, guiding them safe distance away from the school. Sam couldn't be prouder after seeing the doors open. He whispers to himself.

SAM

That's my boy.

Michael tried to escape with the rest of the student body but the minute he got to the doors they shut close.

NO!

Dean runs to the doors and tries to open the door but once again has no luck.

DEAN

I can't get em' open

SAM

Dammit!

Dean grabs Shawn who was on the phone with his Mom.

DEAN

Is there another way into the gym?

SHAWN

No, not that I know of. What the hell was all of that?

DEAN

A really pissed off teenager.

Lindsay jumps off the stage and walks closer to Michael who is beyond scared. He knows that is no longer the person who he called his friend.

LINSDAY

You're an ass you know that? I had a plan, everyone was needed to die and you messed that up.

Michael backs away.

Now you get to die. Which is funny because I never wanted you to die, until, now.

Her arms thrust out in front of her and her force throws him through the air and hitting the doors with his back. He falls to the ground in pain. Michael grabs his sides. He definitely broke some ribs. When he looks up at Lindsay her eyes are black. She's laughing at him.

All my life I was the pathetic one. But not anymore. I'm stronger than everybody!

Michael stands up.

MICHAEL

Lindsay, I know you're in there somewhere.

LINDSAY

Lindsay has been improved. The Lindsay you knew is dead.

MICHAEL

No she's not!

LINDSAY

Would the Lindsay you know try to kill her entire student body?

Michael doesn't answer.

Didn't think so.

MICHAEL

I don't want to have to kill you.

Lindsay laughs.

LINDSAY

Please, I'd love to see you try.

Michael focus hard and throws her across the room with his mind. Her body slams against the stage. She gets up fairly quickly. She was stronger than Michael thought.

Woo! Well somebody has been eating their Wheaties.

Lindsay then fights back with another gust of wind going his way but this time he doesn't move. He advances toward her knocking her off her feet again. Maybe Michael was stronger than her. This action repeated until he grabbed Lindsay by the neck and pushed her up against the stage where she struggled to breath. Michael had hate in his eyes until Lindsay's eyes went from black to her normal blue.

Michael? I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do what I did. You're right I need help, just please- don't do it. Don't kill me. You're my best friend.

A tear runs down's Michaels face.

MICHAEL

You're right and your mine.

Michael pulls the demon knife out of his back pocket with his free hand and stabs her through the chest. She dies in her arms.

Which is why I have to kill you.

Her body goes limp and he weeps with her in his arms.

SCENE 12

10 minutes later after several attempts to get the gym doors open, Sam and Dean break through. Sam runs to his son who is on the ground cradling his dead friend. Sam crouches down and then puts a hand on his shoulder. Michael looks up at him and Sam looks back at his son whose face is stained with tears.

MICHAEL

You were right.

SAM

I didn't want to be right.

Sam kneels down to be level with Michael.

MICHAEL

I killed her Dad. I killed my best friend.

SAM

She did this to herself Michael. You didn't have a choice.

Michael sniffles.

Come on we should go.

MICHAEL

What about Lindsay?

DEAN

I'll take care of it.

Michael nods and gets up off the floor, carrying her body then transferring it to Dean. Dean adjusts himself so he has a steady grasp on her. Sam brings his son in for a hug.

SAM

You're going to be okay.

Michael cries into his shoulder. Sam comforted Michael in the gym for another half hour. After which, Sam drove Michael home in an uncomfortable silence. Dean had put Lindsay's body in the trunk and when they got back to the bunker he takes her out and gives her a proper hunter funeral in the woods nearby. After taking an hour-long shower Michael was in his room lying on his bed staring at the ceiling. Sam walks in holding a short glass with a brown liquid in it. He hands it over Michael. Michael sits up.

MICHAEL

What is it?

SAM

Whiskey. After today, I thought you might need it.

Michael takes a quick sip and scrunches his face after swallowing.

It gets smoother the more you drink it.

Sam takes a seat next to Michael on his bed.

Do you want to talk?

Michael takes a shaky breath.

MICHAEL

I'm sorry.

Sam looks at him confused.

SAM

For what?

MICHAEL

For not listening to you. I was a dick.

SAM

You have nothing to be sorry for. If I were you I would've said the same thing to my dad. Hell I probably have.

Fresh tears sting Michael's eyes.

MICHAEL

I hate these powers.

The tears fall.

I wish I didn't have them. I don't want them. All it brings is more pain.

SAM

Shh it's okay.

Sam brings him in to his shoulder.

I don't know why you have these powers. It could be because of me, or it could be random. But what I do know is you can handle this. If I can do it, you certainly can.

MICHAEL

I don't want to be a hunter.

SAM

Who said you have to be?

Michael pulls away from Sam's shoulder.

Is that what you thought? Because you had these powers Uncle Dean and I would train you to be a hunter?

MICHAEL

Well, yeah I guess

SAM

That's not going to happen. What happened to Lindsay, that's never going to happen again. I promise.

Sam brings Michael into his shoulder again. Michael felt safe.

You're going to be alright Mike.

It took some time for Michael to get used to his powers. He was never the same after that weekend, Fist he hated the telekinesis but after a while he actually got used to it. Sam would even say that he enjoyed it. On the other hand, his visions were a major pain in the ass. He was starting to get a handle on them but they still hurt like hell. They would come during the most inopportune moments, like class or on a date. Dean and Sam did everything they could to help Michael get used to it all. There were nights when Sam or Dean would just watch Michael sleep, making sure he wasn't going through a painful vision. All was good in the Winchester house. Hectic, but good.

THE END
