Nine year old Kara was in her bedroom getting dressed. It was a Saturday and that was the day that her and Ryan were going to the movies at the mall to see Grease. They both loved the movie and when they saw it was playing, Ryan had asked her to go.

"Where are you going carebear?" Dean asked, walking into the room.

"Me and Ry are goin to the movies. His mom's takin us" Kara said, brushing her hair.

"Your little boyfriend." Dean teased.

"He's not my boyfriend." Kara said, taking a pillow from her bed and throwing it at him. He just caught it and laughed.

"Sure he's not." Dean smiled. Kara heard a knock at the door and immediately ran past Dean and into the living room as John opened the door.

"Hello Ryan." John said kindly.

"Hi Mr. Winchester." Ryan said, looking down.

"Hi Ry, lets go." Kara said, running over to him.

"Hold it." John said, catching Kara's arm and stopping her.

"What?" Kara asked annoyed, "We're gonna miss the movie."

"You're going to listen to Mrs. Evans and you're going to stay with her, is that clear?" John said sternly.

"Yes daddy." Kara said as John let go of her arm. She grabbed Ryan's arm and ran down the hall toward the door, wanting to go see the movie.


"I love that movie." Kara said smiling as they walked out of the small theatre.

"So do I." Ryan agreed, smiling.

"You two want ice cream?" Ryan's mother asked.

"Yes!" Both of the kids yelled at the same time. Ryan's mother laughed and led them through the mall to the small ice cream shop. Ryan's mom got them both small sundaes and let them eat at a table while she sat a few feet away, flipping through a magazine, waiting for the two kids to finish.

"You're mom's nice." Kara said, taking a bite of her ice cream.

"Yeah, she's okay." Ryan said, shrugging.

"Wish I had one." Kara said, looking down.

"Don't cry Kare." Ryan said, jumping out of his chair and hugging her as small tears started to fall from her eyes.

"I miss her Ry. I never even got to know her." Kara said quietly.

"I'm sorry." Ryan said, still hugging her. They stayed like that for a few minutes until the rest of their ice cream had melted which they threw away and told Ryan's mom that they wanted to go home. She had nodded and drove Kara back to the apartment. When Kara walked into the apartment, Dean and Sam were both gone, and John was in the kitchen.

"What's the matter sweetheart?" John asked, not expecting her back for at least another hour.

"I miss mommy." Kara said, walking over to him.

"Come here." John said, picking her up and walking over to the living room. He sat down on the couch and put her on his lap. "I wanna give you something." John reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet. He proceeded to search through it before pulling out a picture consisting of a blonde woman and a small baby with very light blonde hair.

"Mommy?" Kara asked, taking the picture.

"And you." John said softly.

"That's me?" Kara asked, looking up briefly from the picture.

"Yes. It's yours." John told her.

"Really? Thanks daddy." Kara said, hugging him.

"Your welcome." John said, kissing the top of her head. When Kara pulled back, she looked around again.

"Where's Dean and Sammy?" Kara asked.

"They'll be back soon. I sent them to the store. Kara nodded and walked into her room and put the picture of her and Mary on her pillow.


A week later, Kara was at Bobby's. Both Dean and Sam had gone with John so Kara was mostly alone.

"What's the matter Kara?" Bobby asked as Kara walked into the living room and took a seat on the couch.

"I miss my brothers. It's not fair that they can go and I can't." Kara pouted, looking at the t.v.

"They just need some time with your father." Bobby told her. "You'll have your turn."

"When?" Kara asked, turning to look at him.

"Soon enough." Bobby said quietly. "Hey, you wanna go play with Max?" Bobby asked, referring to the dog.

"Okay." Kara said, pulling herself off the couch and walked outside where the dog was laying in the shade. Kara sat down next to him and started petting him. He responded by jumping up and licking her face.

"Down Max." Kara said, laughing. Max stopped licking and she started messing up his fur, causing him to get hyper. Kara then got up and started chasing him around the yard, smiling and laughing. When she was out of breath, she sat down and Max ran over to her and tried to get her to stand up again.

"Not now." Kara said, catching her breath. Max seemed to calm down as Kara petted him again. After another ten minutes, Kara picked herself up and walked inside, Max at her heels.

"Your dad called. He'll be home tomorrow." Bobby said as Kara walked into the kitchen. She just nodded and walked over to the table where Bobby had a small pizza there for her.

"Thanks Bobby." Kara smiled, taking a slice of pizza and finishing it off quickly before she felt full and left and went to her room, Max still following her. Kara climbed into bed Max sitting at the foot of the bed, protecting her like Dean.


The next day, Kara woke up to Dean and Sam walking into the room. Dean and Sam both had bruises on their faces and Dean had a nasty cut on his forehead.

"What happened?" Kara asked, jumping out of her bed and running over to them.

"Don't worry about it." Dean said, smiling weakly down at her.

"Tell me." Kara said demandingly.

"Kara, don't worry. We're fine." Sam said, looking over at her tiredly.

"We just need to get some sleep, okay." Dean said, looking down at her. Kara nodded reluctantly as both her brothers walked over to the other two beds in the room and laid down, falling asleep quickly. Kara walked downstairs and saw that Bobby was in the kitchen again.

"Where's my dad?" Kara asked, looking around.

"He's asleep. Needed to catch a few hours before heading back home." Bobby told her.

"How come Dean and Sammy are hurt?" Kara asked.

"Don't you worry your pretty little head about that." Bobby said, ruffling her hair. "They'll be fine."

"Will people stop telling me that, I wanna know." Kara said angrily. "How come when they come back from their bonding time, they're hurt?!"

"Kara, calm down, okay." Bobby said softly, trying to get her to quiet down. Kara just let out a frustrated sigh and left the house and walked for about ten minutes until she arrived at the small secluded lake. She sat in the grass and started out across the water for a couple hours before finally going back to the house. The second she got back, John rushed her back out the door, telling her they had to get back home. Kara sighed and jumped into the back of the impala and stared out the window, not wanting to talk.
