To be honest, Dean had always figured that Blake might be a ninja in training. There was a set of stairs at the school when Blake had taken him to the 'Open House' thing that the high school was doing. Attending the Open House was for extra-credit. Since Blake was a freshman at the time, he decided 'let's do this once and never do it again.'

His Aunt Christina was with them at the time and somehow Blake tripped on the stairs. Dean didn't have time to grab Blake's arm as he rolled down the stairs. Blake somehow landed on his feet as he stood there.

"You see Dean, he has the family grace…and reflexes," Christina replied as they walked down the stairs.

"Yes, I shall die in pity of getting shoved down stairs by someone and not standing back up afterwards," Dean replied.

"You're not related to me by blood," Christina replied.

Again, Dean was still certain that Blake was a ninja when he was at the house and Blake was looking at the iPod. Dylan had thrown a pillow at him and Blake didn't look up. Blake had caught the pillow without looking.

Blake put the pillow next to him on the couch and Dylan started cracking up.

Dean had sent Seth a message.

Blake is a ninja.

No! I'm the ninja!

Blake has beaten you.

I will not be upstaged by a fifteen year old!

I like to see you try.

Five minutes later:

Challenge accepted.

Dean tossed Blake a bag of cotton candy and Blake managed to catch the bag, without looking.

He had Dylan record the entire thing so he can send it to Seth. Dean sent the video to Seth, to see how he would reply.

Seth's reply was: Pfft.

Apparently Seth wasn't impressed with Blake catching a bag of cotton candy without looking. That simple message rubbed Dean the wrong way.

This time around, Dean had recorded Blake throwing the throwing stars at some targets that Dean printed from the internet.

Dean had pinned the targets to the fence and had recorded Blake throwing the stars. A few times, Blake didn't hit the bull's eye, like Dean was expecting. However the stars managed to get near the bull's eye.

"What is this about?" Blake asked, rubbing his shoulder.

"Seth doesn't believe that you're a ninja." Dean replied, after sending the video to Seth.

"So, you're sending videos of me trying to do 'ninja' things?" Blake asked and Dean nodded.

"Pretty much," Dean said.

Blake frowned, "I thought you were testing me to see if I channeled my Jedi abilities."

"No, you're a ninja at the moment," Dean replied.

"Did Seth challenge you to see who gets to be the ninja?" Blake asked.

"Yeah," Dean replied. "He doesn't what to be outdone by a fifteen year old."

"He's basically throwing a fit because he doesn't want to share the title of ninja?" Blake repeated.

"He's younger than us," Dean replied. Blake rolled his shoulder. "Relax; you just overworked your shoulder." Blake nodded. "Some gentle movement should help."

It was Christina's birthday, that day. Dean didn't forget, but he was glad that Charles left his gang. Charles wanted to barbecue and have a normal birthday for Christina to have.

"We have Scantrons," Blake said to Charles.

"Did you just say Scantron?" Charlers asked, stunned. "Those fuckers still use that shit? It was new when I was in high school!"

Dean looked at his dad, stunned, "You mean they made that shit in 1974?"

"1975," Charles corrected

"Oh," Dean replied.

"No wonder why they felt dusty when I touched them," Blake replied.

Dean had to tell his friends that he learned his dad is older than Scantrons. He had to text Dolph, Neville, Roman, and Seth about this new finding.

Today I learned my dad is older than Scantrons.

Neville replied first, that stuff is still around?

Dolph replied with, I hadn't seen those in years.

Seth replied with, that shit used to confuse the hell out of me.

Roman didn't reply and Dean didn't mind.

A few minutes later Roman replied, what brought that on?

Charles finished grilling the steaks and put them on a tray. "Someone open the back door for me, please." He started walking to the back door as Dean's mother Robin, went to the door.

"Don't trip in that hole," Blake said, pointing to the hole.

Charles nodded and Dean was recording this. If his dad tripped, he would show it to his dad's gang, the nicer members.

"Don't worry. He's not that old," Robin said.

"Despite being older than Scantrons," Dean replied.

"You're still on that?" Blake asked.

Charles tripped in the hole and the tray with the food went airborne. Blake managed to grab the tray and caught the steaks too. Dean was glad that he caught that on camera to send to his friends.

He sent the video, with a message, my cousin is a Jedi.

A few minutes later Seth asked, does that mean that I'm the only ninja?

Yes, Seth. You're the only ninja.

Damn straight.

Dean could detect Seth's smugness in the letters.

"Yeah, he has the family grace…and reflexes," Christina replied.

Blake smiled sheepishly. "I thought I was a ninja."

Blake was telling Dylan and Alex about the whole thing that had happened. They were sitting on the bed.

"Hold on. How old is your uncle?" Alex asked, resting his elbow on Dylan's shoulder.

"Fifty-five," Blake replied.

"When was the Scantrons made?" Dylan asked.

"1975," Blake answered.

"Jesus, those are old," Alex replied.

"Not that old," Blake replied. "They're probably like thirty five—"

"Forty," Dylan corrected.

"Forty years old," Blake said. "So your parents honestly don't love each other anymore?"

"Yeah," Dylan replied. He sounded upset and Alex put his arm around Dylan's shoulder. He gave him a reassuring squeeze and rubbed his shoulder with his hand.

"At least they don't argue," Blake replied. Alex kissed Dylan on the cheek as Blake looked away.

"Yeah, at least we watch movies together. Not much, but it's still appreciated," Dylan replied.

Blake looked at Alex, "Tell us stories about your niece."

"We talked about it, but I decided that it'll better if I was referred to as an older brother," Alex replied. "Being called Uncle Alex made me wince."

A/N: I remember using a Scantron in third grade and then not much after third grade up till high school. I remember using those too. It's kind of confusing.

I kind of figured that Seth will get mad at being 'upstaged' as a ninja by a fifteen year old.
