AN- This is for Hotshow who wanted a back story on how/why Sammy is afraid of clowns.
And a special thank you goes to UThnkUrFunny IThnkImAdorable for the information and the laugh.
Sorry it took so long for me to update. The first of July is always the worst time of year for me.
Previously on Supernatural- Before he could react Wolf rammed into his back causing his hands to jerk and the spaghetti to spill. . . right into Josh's lap!

Joshua let loose a string of expletives as he leapt from his chair hands slapping at his pants. He knocked as much of the hot sauce and noodles off as he could before running out of the room. In seconds Wolf was under the abandoned chair happily lapping up the spaghetti that had fallen to the floor.
Dean quickly covered Sammy's ears not wanting his little brother to hear Josh's rant. He knew if Sammy overheard the words he would get in trouble later for repeating them. Once he heard the bathroom door slam, Dean withdrew his hands placing one hand around his brother's shoulders. "It's okay Sammy." He soothed.
Bobby watched his friend's hasty retreat and then turned glancing from Wolf who was happily lapping up the spaghetti to a very guilty looking Sammy. Not wanting to upset Sammy anymore than he already was, Bobby decided he needed to lighten the mood. Looking back at the hallway he slowly shook his head. "Geez, I thought Josh liked my spaghetti" he quipped.
John stared incredulously at Bobby for a moment before busting out laughing with Bobby quickly joining in.
Dean and Sammy gazed at the two men as if they'd lost their minds. "Let's go in the other room for a while Sammy. Dad and Uncle Bobby are starting to creep me out." Dean told his brother. Dean took Sammy by the hand and led him into the living room.
"Did you see the look on his face?" John chuckled. "Man, I wish I'd had a camera. That was definitely a Kodak moment."
"I know." Bobby said as he wiped his eyes. "I've never seen him run that fast either. Hmm, maybe I should take some spaghetti next time I go hunting with him. Save me from waiting on the slow poke."
After getting himself under control, John looked down at what little was left of the ruined dinner. "Guess we'll be going out to eat tonight. Any suggestions as to where we should go?" he asked. Seeing the smirk on Bobby's face he quickly added, "I meant to eat, Bobby."
Bobby smiled at his friend. "Party pooper." He grumbled as he walked over to the closet to get the mop. "The boys love pancakes so how about IHOP?"
"Not a good idea. They make faces on the pancakes and I don't think we need another "Sammy meltdown" today." John told him.
"Oh yeah. Forgot about that. Gimme a minute. I'll come up with a decent place." Bobby said. He mopped the kitchen floor and was just starting on the hallway when an idea hit him. "How about Shoney's? They have good food and there's no chance of meeting a you know what there."
"Sounds good, Bobby." John stated. "Go ahead and finish mopping. I'll check on Josh and the boys and then we'll go." John carefully walked around Bobby and headed to he back to check on his friend.
After making sure Josh was alright, John strolled into the living room. He walked over and sat down beside Dean. "Whatcha doing, sport?" he asked.
Dean stopped his building and looked up at his dad. "We're using the books to try to make the ramp higher. But the track keeps falling off the books."
"Want some help?" John asked smiling as both boys nodded their heads. "Okay. Why don't we try this?" John began making a pile of books off to the side.
Bobby and Josh peered around the corner smiling at the sight of the three Winchesters. "Why don't we give them a few minutes?" Josh suggested.
"Yeah" Bobby agreed. "I'm not that hungry anyway. You want some coffee?" Bobby grabbed two mugs and filled them with coffee before carefully carrying them to the kitchen table.
Joshua took a sip and sighed. "So you got any hunts lined up?" he asked. Josh and Bobby sat and talked for thirty minutes before going into the living room and ushering everyone outside.
Once everyone was piled in the impala they began the trip into town. Sitting in the back with the boys Bobby listened with wonder as Dean patiently answered all of Sammy's never ending questions. "That boy has the patience of a saint where his brother's concerned." Bobby thought. "Must have got that from his mama 'cause it certainly didn't come from Johnny."
Noticing Joshua squirming miserably in his seat John winced in sympathy. He knew how hard it was to find a relaxing position after a beating. As Josh's struggle for a comfortable position continued, he spoke up. "You alright there, Josh?" he asked.
"Sure. I'm just peachy." Joshua grouched.
Hearing the front seat conversation Bobby cut in. "Sorry Josh. Guess Wolf just isn't bright enough to train."
"It's not the dog." Josh informed him starting to grin.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Bobby asked.
"It means that someone needs to take a refresher course in Latin." Joshua said gleefully.
Bobby crossed his arms and glared at Joshua. "My Latin's just fine." He grumbled.
"Oh really?" Josh exclaimed. "Then why are you telling Wolf that you are going to fetch the paper?"
"What?" Bobby bellowed.
"Accio means I summon or I fetch when it's used as a command." Josh explained.
"Wait a minute" Dean broke in. "You mean Uncle Bobby's been saying that he'd fetch the paper?"
"You got it!" Josh laughed.
"No wonder Wolf keeps looking at you funny." Dean said between giggles. "I'm surprised he hasn't rolled his eyes at you yet."
"Laugh it up, Dean" Bobby grumbled. "Just remember who carries all the hot food to the table."
"Enough, children" John warned as he drove into Shoney's parking lot. He pulled into the first available spot and shut off the engine. Turning around in his seat he set the ground rules. "Alright boys. This is a nice restaurant. I want you on your best behavior. Understand?"
"Yes sir" Dean and Sammy replied.
Glancing between Josh and Bobby John said, "That goes for you, too."
"Whatever you say, Johnny boy" Bobby laughed. He climbed out of the car before turning and helping Sammy and Dean out. Taking the boys by the hand the three followed John and Josh to the restaurant and walked inside.
