Dear Danny,
I called you, are you happy? You didn't pick up, so I left a voice message. I'm now going to write exactly how I imagined the conversation going.
Ben: Hey Danny.
Danny: Ben?
Ben: Yeah.
Danny: You called me!
Ben: Are you a chick or something?
Danny: Just a very sensitive man.
Ben: Whatever. So, I have some good news.
Danny: Yeah?
Ben: Dean finally stopped with all that crazy research and looking things up and everything. We had ice cream from Baskin & Robins, and he paid for a huge sundae with ten different types of ice cream which we all ate together. We only finished it because Dean ate like half of it.
Danny: Really? That's awesome for you. Except for the part where you didn't get all the ice cream.
Ben: It was still awesome.
Danny: I bet. Thanks for calling. I like to hear what you sound like.
Ben: Hey, you're the one who practically forced me to in your letter.
Danny: So what else is happening with you?
Ben: Not much. Dean's covered up his sweet car with a tarp, and all the weapons and junk in his truck. He's started to tell Mom stories, and sometimes I listen by the door. He's fought every bad creature you can imagine!
Danny: Werewolves?
Ben: Yes.
Danny: Vampires?
Ben: Yes.
Danny: Genies?
Ben: Yes, but he calls the djinn.
Danny: Ghosts?
Ben: Oh yeah.
Danny: Awesome. You have the coolest Dad ever.
Ben: You bet.
Danny: I'd win a million bucks if I did.
Ben: Oh yeah. So what's new with you?
Danny: Nothing much. Everything's normal, and great.
Ben: Cool.
Danny: Oh god. i'm super sorry Ben, but I have to go. Sam and Tucker are having mental break down, and I have to go help them. I'm going to put your number in my contacts, and you do the same, and then we'll know when we're calling each other.
Ben: Cool. Bye.
Danny: Bye.
END.
Just so you know, your number is in my contacts, and Dean did buy me my own phone, provided I'd put his number in it first. I did exactly that. He actually helped my find that little card you wrote your number on, and he asked if it was from some lucky girl. I told him about you and the whole pen pal business, but I didn't really mention your insistence that you're not completely human, which I thought might be a good choice. He could immediately tell I wasn't saying something, but he trusted me enough to leave it alone. He said ti was really cool that I had somebody to tell stuff to, but "don't say everything, if you catch my drift" and I did, because he doesn't want you thinking I'm crazy.
I told him that I told you about the Changelings, and that your parents hunted ghosts, and he thought that was awesome. He was happy I could tell you everything, but he seemed a little sad you were the kid of two hunters. I told him that you just stayed in one place, and he seemed to cheer up a little. When I asked why he seemed so down he told me that he didn't want any kid growing up like hunter. I guess he meant me, and I'm okay with that as long as it keeps him here with me and Mom.
Dean seems to think you're really cool. He said it was because I thought you were really cool, and I showed him a few letters, but none of the stuff about you not being human. He could tell I was hiding something, but I told him it was just your secret, and I didn't want to betray it, even to him or Mom, because it was private. he seemed really proud of me for saying that.
Your Friend,
Ben
