1996.

When Dean turned Seventeen John sent him off on his first solo hunt. While Dean took care of his hunt John stayed with Alexandra and Sam, Alexandra was still kind of mad at him and at Sam for leaving for those two weeks, John took that moment alone with them to try and set them straight about the life of hunting, the family business. John had explained the possibility of finding a more or less much more permanent place to live and talked to Sam about school, Sam was twelve almost thirteen and in sixth grade, a year late, Alexandra was fourteen and a Junior along with Dean, she still treated school as means to an ends and was always top of her class, having Dean following close after her as she didn't allow him to slack off.

When Sam turned thirteen tensions between him and John was escalating slowly, Alexandra had the feeling that when they finally exploded, it was going to be bad, really bad. Sam was much like her, she decided, a rebellious soul but where he wanted a completely normal life, she knew that it was an unlikely probability for a Winchester; it was as if she somehow knew that a shitload of trouble waited for them and their childhood was only a small spec in the grand scale of things.

When July rolled around Dean got his license, although he already knew how to drive, they all did; John had left them in a motel while he went on a hunt leaving the car behind. That independence day Dean and Alexandra had gotten all kinds of fireworks, Dean had driven them to a field, Sam jumping in excitement, they had burned down the place, colors illuminating the sky as the three Winchesters watched while the Impala blared one of their favorite songs, it had been their favorite fourth of July ever, just them three causing chaos.

When Alexandra turned fifteen they had been somewhere in Michigan hunting a witch, her birthday had been so different from her fourteenth that she somehow felt cheated. While John was out, Sam and Dean had gone to the store and bought a cake for her, she adored her brothers as they made her life worth all the trouble. They had enjoyed the cake and the sodas in their motel room and had discussed life, Alexandra told them about the Columbia letter she had received in the mail, Dean had received one from M.I.T, but wasn't really going to mind it as he was going to devote himself to the Family Business, she was still not completely sure about College, but Sam was extremely excited for her.

Things became tense with John again in September when Alexandra and Dean started their Senior Year as he had found the Columbia letter, she had brushed him off as best as she could telling him that she still had a year to decide.

In November they attended Truman High in Fairfax, Indiana for a whole month. Dean even started going out with a girl named Amanda and even thought she didn't told anyone at the time Alexandra had made out with a senior named Jake under the bleachers. Alexandra's style had changed over the years and she strangely emulated Dean, although a girly version of him. She had taken to wear and style Dean's old band shirts, she loved cutting them and personalizing each shirt which kind of pissed of Dean because it meant that he couldn't wear them again, she also loved her leather jacket and she had mastered the art of distressing her jeans with her daggers, paired with her favorite boots, her signature red hairband and long dark hair she looked like a rocker chic and added to that, that the Winchesters along the years had managed a really awesome tan she looked pretty damn good if she said so herself.

"Hiya Sammy!" Alexandra said happily as she passed Sam in the hallway, Sam smiled at her, he was walking along with a kid and he seemed happy, Alexandra felt extremely proud of him.

"Hey Alex!" he greeted her, she winked at him and kept walking, the kid that was walking next to him surprised.

"You know her?" he asked, Sam snorted.

"That's my sister" he said at the same time that Dean walked out of the janitor's closet followed by a girl.

"Yo Sammy!" Dean said as he walked by.

"That's your brother with Amanda Heckering?" the kid, Barry, asked, Sam shrugged.

"That's so cool! You have like the coolest siblings" he said excitedly, Sam smiled at him.

"Yeah, they think so" he said.

"Sammy! Just what happened to you?" asked Alexandra as she took in the sight of her little brother. Sam and Dean were sitting outside near the bleachers.

"It's nothing"

"That kid is dead," said Dean, Alexandra looked at her older brother.

"Dean" Said Sam in a warning tone.

"I'm going to rip his lungs out" said Dean angrily, Alexandra smirked.

"Would you accept a little help?" she asked, Dean smiled at her.

"It's not a big deal, cut it off guys" Sam said, Alexandra rolled her eyes at him.

"Of course it's a big deal Sammy, any kid who thinks they can hurt my little brother is dead" she said crossing her arms, Dean nodded.

"If dad were here" started Dean, Sam and Alexandra glared at him.

"He's not" Said Sam.

"But I am" said Dean frustrated; Alexandra placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Down boy" she said, Dean rolled his eyes.

They continued talking, John had messaged Dean and had told him that it was going to be another week; Sam had mentioned Amanda and Dean pulled a face, Alexandra punched him in the arm.

"Then tell her that you don't do parents you idiot," she said crossing her arms; he scoffed.

"We were not supposed to be here this long" he complained; she shrugged.

"I'm having a good time here" she said and it was kind of true, she even had managed a tentative friendship with a girl named Rissa who was in her Math class although no guy really approached her probably thanks to Dean's looming presence.

"That's you cause it's your final year and here they actually appreciate your intellect, not like those other dicks" he said, she smiled at him.

"Just don't do anything stupid with Amanda, I've heard that she can be a real bitch sometimes" she said looking at him, then at Sammy "And you, stand up to your bullies Mouse" she said as she ruffled his hair, she smiled at them before leaving, Rissa was waiting for her near the bleachers.

"All good with your brothers?" she asked; Alexandra nodded.

"They are idiots," she said fondly; Rissa laughed they kept walking when a boy approached them, Alexandra recognized him from her History classes, Jake Spencer, a blue-eyed all American boy captain of the football team.

"Winchester, Hazer, what bring you girls to this side of our learning center?" he asked, Alexandra smiled at him.

"Oh you know, reasons," said Rissa blushing, Alexandra rolled her eyes.

"Boys have a bet going, they said that I wouldn't last five minutes speaking to Winchester here before her brother tried to kill me for trying to corrupt his baby sister" he said with a full smile on his face, dimples showing, Alexandra smirked.

"Well Dean does tend to have horrible timing but I think that he's occupied at the moment" Alexandra said, Rissa checked her watch and excused herself leaving Alexandra with Jake.

"So Winchester, wanna make out?" he blurted out suddenly, Alexandra looked at him skeptical, then smiled sweetly.

"You don't value your living do you?" she asked; Jake shrugged.

"I'd die happily," he said, she laughed as she grabbed the lapels of his varsity jacket; she looked around to see if anyone was watching.

"I will make the addendum that if this is some ploy to make fun of me with your pals or something I don't need my brother to tear you to little pieces" she said as Jake dipped his head down.

"Noted" he said smiling.

"There wont be a body to find" she said as their noses brushed, Jake was still smiling.

"It will be worth it" he said; she chuckled.

"And then Dean will find a way to torture your spirit for eternity" she said, Jake rolled his eyes and pressed his lips to her.

"You talk too much" he said against her lips, the kiss had a sloppy start as she got used to the feeling, then Jake grabbed her hips to hold her in place as he kissed her.

When she walked to her Literature class and sat next to Dean half an hour later he looked at her strangely before looking back to the board, Alexandra raised an eyebrow at him and Dean shrugged. What Alexandra didn't knew was that Dean did found out about the kiss and had threatened and punched Jake and threatened everyone again as they hadn't heeded his first warning about staying away from his little sister, he had wanted to punch someone since seeing Sammy hurt and Jake presented himself as a bonus. Amanda had called out, Two days later, Dean for being a jerk and John picked them up, neither of them really spoke of Truman High again.

1997.

When Dean turned eighteen John gave him the Impala, he had been over the moon the entire day, Alexandra had given him a bead bracelet that she had bought at some occult store, it had a small pentagram and was supposed to be protection, she also got one for herself and one for Sam, Dean's was a dark mahogany color, Sam's was light brown and hers was black, another thing that she got him, but that she didn't show John nor Sam was a condom box, she had given it to him a cheeky smile on her face and the phrase "No hattie, no party" Dean had actually blushed and sputtered they had laughed.

"I'm too young to have a nephew or to loose you to an STD" she said, Dean had bumped his shoulder with her.

"So considerate Bug" he said.

"Dick"

"Wimp"

They visited Bobby in April, as John needed information about a hunt, Alexandra had contented herself on watching as Dean fiddled with the cars in Bobby's yard while Sam immersed himself in the library. When Sam turned fourteen he confided that he had been waving weird dreams, Alexandra suggested that he kept a Dream Journal but Sam being a hormonal teenager scoffed at the idea. She had shrugged at him. Sam's discussions with John had escalated too and thanks to that John had forgotten all about Alexandra's invitation to Columbia. She had taken Sam's computer and had sent a mail saying that she could be interested in joining during the fall of 1999 as she was planning of taking a gap year. The university had written back that it was no problem and advised her to keep the letter.

Around May John had started investigating about the Colt and Alexandra had felt uncomfortable with the name, as if she was supposed to know something important about it, but she brushed off as school related stress, as she had had to stop Dean from dropping out altogether.

"You've made it this fucking far to drop out?" she asked, Dean shrugged; she crossed her arms, "You won't leave me there alone, if you drop out I will"

"No you won't" he said, she raised an eyebrow at him.

"Then finish with me, we're like two weeks away, we're taking our GED's and then graduation, I'm the class Valedictorian's I have my speech and everything, please Dee, for me?" she asked giving him the look, he sighed.

"Just for you Lexy" he said, she hugged him.

"You're the best big brother ever Dee" she said against his chest, Dean laughed and patted her head, she reached his chin having grown to a respectable 5'6, not short by women standards but not too tall, she probably was not going to do anymore growing.

She and Dean graduated on July 16th, Sam and John had made it to the graduation and Alexandra had delivered a speech about acceptance and female empowerment and how everyone doubted her all the time because of her age and her irregular schooling, Dean had came as fifth of the class and Sam and John had cheered for them when they got their diplomas.

When Alexandra turned sixteen John took her to get her license even thought she had been driving since she was eleven. She had graduated High School before turning sixteen, a new personal best. She had felt cheated somehow, as if she had done it before and was just re-doing everything, even though she knew that it was probably impossible. Dean had joked that perhaps reincarnation was true and she had been a genius in her past life, Alexandra had looked at him skeptical she didn't truly believe in reincarnation, but if it was true then she had been extremely lucky to have Sam and Dean as brothers, Dean had declared her a walking chick flick moment and she had punched him, hard.

John had also sent Alexandra on her first solo hunt. A salt and burn, in Wisconsin, everything had been going perfect until she was ready to burn the bones and the Ghost of the crazed woman had jumped her, she ended up covered in mud but pleased that she had burned the bitch.

1998.

For Dean's nineteen they went to Nebraska after a Kitsune. Sam had been in charge of research while John, Dean and Alexandra hunted the Kitsune, at the end they had found Sam standing in the middle of a living room with the corpse of the Kitsune on the floor, Alexandra had congratulated him on a job well done while John and Dean looked impressed. They had stayed for a couple of days 'relaxing' after the kitsune until John heard of another case and dragged them off.

When Sam turned fifteen he and Dean were always arguing, Alexandra was growing tired of the constant testosterone display and had decided to bail on them and went to visit Bobby for a month, returning just in time for gearing up for a trip to Orlando with John and Sam while Dean was going to do a road trip, she got Dean another condom box before he left, he had looked at him with a freaked out expression.

"No hattie, no party" she deadpanned, Dean had nodded and packed the box.

"Are you ever going to tell me how you get them?" he asked, she smirked at him.

"A magician never reveal her secrets," she said with a smile.

"Pickpocketing people is bad" Dean said, she snorted.

"Credit card scams are bad too, I have less possibility of being caught, besides I'm a total pro, you should totally see my savings, by the time I'm eighteen I will have enough money to buy the bike I want" she said a smug smile on her face, Dean raised his eyebrows.

"Cool" he said, she smiled at him and hugged him goodbye.

In Orlando she managed to visit Magic Kingdom with Sam after killing the Banshee, John at first had been against them going but she reminded him that her birthday was soon and that they were entitled to have some fun. She had bought a black Mickey Mouse shirt for Dean and a small key chain so he could put the keys to the Impala.

"Thanks for convincing Dad" said Sam as they walked through Magic Kingdom, for the first time in her life Alexandra was wearing shorts and sneakers, a few months ago she had mastered the art of shaving her legs with her favorite dagger.

"That's what big sisters are for Sammy," she said ruffling his hair; Sammy hadn't had his growth spurt yet, so she was taller than him. "Now let's go ride the teapots!" she said as she dragged them.

They stayed in the park long enough to see the lightshow and as people were distracted Alexandra managed to collect a few hundred bucks. John was waiting for them in the parking lot as they walked out, Alexandra was wearing Minnie ears over her hairband while Sam was munching on cotton candy and had Mickey's fantasia pointed hat on his head, she handed John a small bag that contained a white t-shirt, a baseball cap, and several photographs that she had taken with Sam.

For her seventeenth birthday Alexandra went alone in another hunt. Turns out it was a werewolf and she had killed it happily and proceeded to ransack its house. The werewolf had been living and killing in the same place for a while, she had stolen jewelry that she could easily sell and the money that the werewolf had. She had returned to her family feeling pleased with herself.

Soon after her birthday Dean took off solo for a couple of months, leaving her and Sam with John. John had pushed Sam towards his first solo hunt while he and Alexandra handed a haunting. Dean returned to them in November.

1999.

The New Year brought new opportunities for Alexandra as Dean had invited her to his solo hunts; they had spent his twentieth birthday in Ohio hunting a Poltergeist. She had confided in him about her plans of going to Columbia in the fall, he had been put out by the idea.

"I thought we were a team?" he said as they had dinner, she crossed her arms and looked at him.

"We are but I need my time, you went to your five states thing, and then you went solo for a couple months and you're sort of hunting on your own now, I want my time too, besides I'm not walking out on you, we're still a team, you'll call me and I'll be there" she said, Dean eyed her warily and sighed.

"But why college?" he asked; she shrugged.

"Why not? It's a controlled environment full of people my age, I'll be safe and I promise I'll call you every night before going to sleep, besides its better than me going out hunting alone" she said, Dean raised an eyebrow.

"I can't talk you out of this one?" he asked, she laughed and shook her head.

"Not really, but It'll be fun, you could visit me, imagine the college girls" she said waggling her eyebrows at him, Dean grinned.

"When are you leaving?" he asked, they laughed, then sobered "Dad won't like it"

"I know, I'm kind of prepared for that so don't go telling him, I'll tell him before I go, Sammy will be crushed, although I heard him talking about Stanford" she said, Dean sighed.

"You two can try to move further apart can you?" he asked; Alexandra smiled at him.

"You're all over the country anyways and like I said, I'll be one call away"

Alexandra and Dean where with their family when Sammy turned sixteen, he had finally hit his growth spurt and now towered over Alexandra, but was slightly shorter than Dean, Alexandra feared that it was not going to be for long. He had gotten his license and Dean had allowed him to drive the Impala around town. John had been away hunting something.

When Alexandra turned eighteen she prepared herself to tell John about Columbia, they had been in North Dakota at the time. She had stepped out of the room she was occupying in the abandoned house that they were staying. Classes started on the fifth and she had enrolled, Dean had taken her to the nearest IHOP and they had a nice breakfast even thought Alexandra was feeling dread pooling in her stomach. In the afternoon she had packed all of her things, three duffel bags, just in case.

"Dad?" she said softly from the doorway, John was writing down in his journal while Sam was with his computer and Dean was checking the paper, John lifted his head.

"What's wrong Alex?" John asked, Alexandra fiddled with her hands before speaking.

"I decided to enroll myself in Columbia, I start this fall" she said, talk about breaking it gently, Sam looked up from his spot, Dean too.

"You what?" he asked slowly.

"I'm going to college, this fall, I want to do something by myself and college is the perfect opportunity" she explained looking at John, she could see anger in his face.

"And what about the mission? Your family? We haven't catch the thing that killed your mother and you're ditching?" he asked angrily, she fought the urge to roll her eyes.

"Dad it's for a few years, its not like I'm gonna drop off the map, besides I need to live my life" she said, John stepped away from his journal and walked up to her.

"And what about your mother?" he asked, she looked up at him.

"She's dead dad, she wouldn't have wanted this for us" she said annoyed, John moved as if to strike her and she caught his hand just in time inches away from her face, silence engulfed the room, out of the corner of her eyes she saw Sam and Dean moving closer to John, she looked at John's arm in her hand and then at him "You just made a huge mistake John" she said coldly, John was staring at her surprised "I'm starting to think that my dad died somewhere along the way" she said as she let go of his arm, John took a step back still in a haze.

Alexandra went upstairs and got her bags, as she was walking to the door she heard John's voice.

"Alexandra, you walk out that door and you don't come back, you hear me" he said, she turned to look at him, unshed tears in her eyes.

"Good riddance" she said slamming the door on her way out.

Alexandra made it to Bobby's after leaving. He received her with open arms and she finally let herself cry in the privacy of her room. Bobby had made hot chocolate and as she was reviewing her application form her phone rang.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Lexy?" said Dean's voice on the other side, she smiled slightly.

"Hi" she said softly.

"I'm sorry Lexy, I should have done something" he said Alexandra could actually hear the guilt in his voice, she laughed bitterly.

"It's okay Dee, I'm a big girl and you have always been more attuned to the old man than me" she said.

"But its wrong, he almost hit you, Sammy is angry as hell, I am angry, he had no right" Dean said, his voice raising.

"Dee, its fine he didn't hit me, I can take care of myself, I have you, Sammy and Uncle Bobby, dad can go to hell for all I care" she said, Dean chuckled.

"You need to call me as soon as you make it to New York, Bug" he said; Alexandra smiled.

"I'm with Uncle Bobby, I'm staying here a few days if you and Sammy are up for a small trip" she said.

"We'll be there tomorrow"

Next day Alexandra woke up early and helped Bobby with breakfast. She then helped him with organizing one of his bookcases, Sam and Dean arrived around lunchtime, they had bought lunch at some place and arrived at Bobby's. Sam had engulfed her in his arms as soon as he got out of the car; she hugged him back murmuring that she was okay, then Dean walked up to her and hugged her actually lifting her a few inches from the floor.

"Dad's an idiot," said Sam as they were having lunch, Bobby had decided to give them space.

"I know" she said, a sad look on her face "I miss who he was, my favorite memory of him is one of the day when you were born Sammy" she said with a small smile on her face.

"And you remember?" he asked; she nodded.

"It's a bit hazy, bits and pieces, but I remember that he loved dressing me and Dee with the same clothes and he was always smiling or joking with that guy who was friends of him" she said, Dean looked at her sadly.

"I remember," he said softly, she smiled at him.

Sam and Dean stayed until late afternoon as they had to go back as Sam had a test, she hugged her brothers' goodbye and cried only after she couldn't see the impala anymore. She made dinner for her and Bobby that night.

She moved to New York on August 28; she had an apartment in campus and had started working at the local Starbucks, as she needed to drop the pickpocketing to a minimum as she was on a scholarship and didn't want trouble. Her roommate was a girl named Stacey that Alexandra had checked thoroughly and still checked regularly, often making lemonade with Holy Water or saying Christo several times during the week just to be safe, she was also taking Latin as a course to have an excuse to recite the exorcism. She kept most of her weapons under her bed in one of her bags and had carved several protection symbols on the bed.

2000-2005

Life went on, Alexandra had come to like the life at Columbia, she even had made friends and after quitting Starbucks she found a job at a local library she had a few boyfriends, several one nightstands. Dean visited whenever he was hunting near, going as far as hooking up with Stacey. She did well in her classes and on the weekends hunted nearby, she had bought the bike she wanted a 1999 Ducati Monster 900 City, in black in 2001. When Dean visited that year he had loved the bike and had wanted to try driving it. They had spent a whole day in a deserted highway Dean testing the bike and Alexandra putting some miles in the Impala.

A thing that Alexandra had come to love was exchanging messages with Sam, she was always suggesting him books to read and he always messaged her back on time, as if he spent all the time waiting for her messages, she told him about college life and the importance of finding a good job, about saving money as living alone was expensive, he had written to her about Stanford and she had felt so proud for him and reminded him that whatever John said he had her backing.

In 2002 Sam left for Stanford and John had repeated the same words to Sam that he had said to Alexandra back in 1999. Alexandra had sent Sam 1000 bucks so he could manage himself on the first few weeks, he hadn't asked about where the money came from and she hadn't said. But she had realized that nightclub were really cool places for people like her, professional pickpockets.

During the fall, just after she had turned 21 she had broken up with her second ever boyfriend, and decided that she was not made for long relationships, she kept the party going and discovered why Dean loved his one night stands, no strings attached her most memorable lay being a guy named Gary or Gabe or something like that, that had the most strange honey colored eyes that she remembered, of course if she hadn't been mostly hammered at the time she could've at least remembered his name correctly not that she needed as names were kind of pointless but the guy had been a literal god in bed.

Dean had visited her in October and took her out to a club where he got her drunk on tequila. Then they had stayed on the roof of her apartment all night watching the stars and reminiscing about old times. Dean explained to her about his relationship with Sammy and how it had deteriorated since Sam left for Stanford, as they had not parted in good terms. Alexandra confessed that she was tired of the college life and was about to dropout as she missed the feeling of freedom that hunting allowed her.

"Then come with me, we're a team" Dean said as he took a sip of his beer. "We could go see the world biggest something on our way"

"Where would we go Dee?" she asked resting her head on his shoulder.

"I don't know, we could take cases here and there, then go to the beach or something, we could go to California, visit Sammy, he'd love to see you" Dean said, she looked at him and smiled.

"Give me five days," she said.

Five days later and all of her stuff placed in storage for safekeeping, including her bike, as she would not need it with Dean, she left Columbia behind in favor of hunting with her brother. As they made way to California they visited several landmarks together and Alexandra made sure to take pictures with her Polaroid. John called Dean in occasions and told him about Jobs depending of where Dean was.

Alexandra and Dean made it to California just in time to spend Christmas with Sam in Stanford. He had received them in his small apartment and he offered his bed to Alexandra while he took an inflatable mattress and Dean took the couch, they drank spiked eggnog and watched crappy movies. Alexandra got him a camera so he could capture his moments and she got Dean new tires for the Impala.

In Spring 2003, (Say May) Alexandra stayed several weeks living with Sam as Dean went to help John with a case in Ohio and she wasn't very keen on seeing John, she still resented his words at her and at Sammy. Dean stayed away for a couple months, as he had several cases on the East Coast, not that Alexandra minded much as she was having a great time with Sam and in California in general. She had taken to visiting Malibu whenever she could, which was a lot, as she didn't have a job or was studying.

"Dad?" she asked as she recognized John sitting on a table in a restaurant near Stanford, John seemed surprised to see her there.

"Alex?" he breathed suddenly looking relaxed, he stood from his chair and pulled her into a hug "Alex" he repeated, she patted his back awkwardly until he let go of her "Where have you been, I looked everywhere for you and even asked that friend of yours about you, she said you had left with a guy" he said, Alexandra could see that he looked distressed, she motioned for him to sit and she sat with him on the table and ordered coffee.

"You looked for me?" she asked; John nodded "Why?"

"Because you're still my daughter, I went several times around your apartment and around your campus to see how you were doing" he confessed, Alexandra couldn't help but to smile. "Who did you left with?"

"With Dean" she said, John looked confused "I asked him not to tell," she explained and John nodded "I'm still mad at you, but I've missed you dad"

"I've missed you too Alex, what are you doing here?" he asked; she smiled.

"I've been staying with Sammy while Dean gets back from wherever he is" she said softly, John looked at his daughter and smiled, he was proud of his children, he really was.

They had an awkward lunch together and the left as the night fell, he asked her questions about her life and realized that his daughter had really grown while she'd been apart.

"I saw dad today" she told Sammy as he walked into the apartment, he looked at her confused. "Yep, turns out that after he tells his kids to get lost he stalks them to battle the guilt"

"Is he okay?" asked Sam, she nodded.

"He hugged me and all, it was weird but I've missed him" she said wrapping her arms around herself; Sam shrugged.

"He is dad, even if he's a dick sometimes," Sam said; Alexandra nodded.

She stayed in California until June, Dean went to pick her up and they traveled back to New York where they hunted a supposed Aswang that went by the name of Edward Trenton. After New York they did a couple of hauntings and visited Bobby who had told them about how he'd ran John off with his riffle. John called Dean every once in a while and asked about Alexandra. Sam also kept his messages, after thanksgiving Sam had met a girl name Jessica and according to him they had gone out a couple of times.

2004 rolled in without hitches, Alexandra and Dean had been doing separate gigs in nearby towns as they found it hard to pick off people if the other was around, people weirded them out sometimes going as far as to asking them if they were interested in a threesome. Alexandra and Dean had scrunched their faces in utter disgust at the thought and the woman who had asked had laughed at them, it had been awkward trying to pick someone in the same bar since then, normal people were weird.

"Two queens" said Dean to the motel receptionist as Alexandra eyed the magazine rack; they were in New Mexico for a hunt, the woman gave him a weird look and looked at Alexandra.

"Two queens?" she asked and Dean nodded, she tilted her head "if you need the space I could offer the honeymoon suite" the woman offered, Alexandra's head snapped in her direction.

"Stop your horses lady" she said going to stand next to Dean "that fine piece of ass is my brother, trust me he wouldn't want to share a honeymoon suite with me" she said with a smirk, the woman blinked at them.

"Brother?" she asked surprised, trying to find resemblance between the two.

"Older brother" Dean said proudly, the woman smiled at them.

"That explains the whole protective thing you have going on," she said as she handed them a key, Alexandra laughed.

"Gramps here can't understand that I'm not a little girl anymore" she said with a wink before they went to their room, Alexandra grabbed the bed closest to the window while leaving the one near the door to Dean,

"Why is it whenever I go out with either you or Sam people think that we're the young cute couple or the really sweet gay couple, I can't win with you two" Dean said, Alexandra lifted her head from the bed smiling at Dean.

"We're just that good looking Dee, get used to it, the less we think about it the better, we don't need to add psychological trauma to our list" she said, Dean threw his dirty flannel at her hitting her square on the face "You're such a pig" she said as she stood.

"You love me either way," he said as he sauntered into the bathroom.

"I feel truly sorry for me then" she said as Dean closed the door, he opened it and peeked his head out.

"Acceptance is the key Lexy" he said with a smirk before closing the door again. Alexandra rolled her eyes and let herself fall on the bed once more.

They were investigating a series of hauntings in a house that a new family had acquired, turns out the husband had been cheating on his wife and the ghost of a woman that hung herself was not happy with him and had taken to torture him and kill the man's lover. Alexandra and Dean burned the bones but the woman had been anchored to a vintage table that the house had and when they had tried burning the table crazy ghost woman had attacked them calling them both names and trying to kill them, she had called Alexandra a harlot and Dean a good for nothing scoundrel.

"So a harlot huh?" Dean asked her while they had a drink in their room after the hunt, Alexandra grabbed her bottle of whiskey taking a long sip.

"I hate those kind of prude ghosts, they have no right to judge" she said, Dean smiled at her as she ranted, "I'm an independent woman who has a very healthy sex life"

"Lexy I don't want to now that" said Dean from his chair; she glared at him and muttered something about fucking ghosts, Dean chuckled into his bottle.
