AUTHOR'S NOTE: Well, yesterday, 7/24, was the one year anniversary of me signing up on this site! Happy "FanFiction Birthday" to me! I'll take my 'birthday spankings' from any one of the Winchester men (or all three!), thank you! ;)

The bed was bouncing. I opened my eyes and rolled over- Ben was on the end of my bed, grinning at me.

"Wake up!" he said excitedly, "We have a whole day here, let's get started!"

I heard Lisa's voice, "Ben, I told you to let them sleep!"

"Whaaa?" I heard Daddy mumble from the bed next to me.

"C'mon, we can go down to the breakfast buffet, they have all kinds of food there!"

Lisa chuckled. "It looks like Charlie and Dean are not really morning people, Ben."

A couple of minutes later I smelled coffee and rolled over again. Lisa was standing by Daddy's bed, and Daddy was sitting up drinking a cup of coffee.

"Thanks, Lis," he smiled up at her. Then he looked over at me. "Let's get dressed and go eat some breakfast."

After we ate, we went back to our room and got changed into our bathing suits. We went to the waterpark, grabbed towels, and went to find some chairs.

"Lisa and I will either be sitting here or over in the food area," Daddy said, "What's the rule?"

"Uh, no leaving the park," I said.

"And no buying food without asking," Lisa gave Ben a look.

"Okaaay," he said, "C'mon, Charlie, I'll show you all the different things we can do!"

As we walked away, a little girl called to me, "I love your bathing suit! Hello Kitty rocks!"

I blushed and said, "Thanks!"

Ben and I climbed in the huge cabin structure with the bucket on top, through the tunnels and up the ladders and went down the water slides. There were hoses that you could squirt each other with and places to dump water on people if you could get them to stand below you. We went on the Lazy River and then into the wave pool, but I didn't go that far in, because I couldn't swim.

Daddy and Lisa came over to us in the water.

"How's it going?" Daddy asked.

"Okay," I said, "I can't go that deep here 'cause I can't swim."

"Oh, you don't know how to swim?" Daddy looked at me.

"No, uh, Mommy was scared of the water. She always said she'd take me to swim lessons but she never did."

"Do you want me to get you one of the floaty vests?" Lisa asked.

"No, I just don't go in deep."

"All right, they're over there if you want to get one," she pointed to a rack that had all different sizes of vests for kids. "The good thing is, most of the big rides end in shallow water."

There was a roaring noise, and Ben said, "The waves are gonna start!"

Daddy looked at me. "Want me to take you in deeper, where the waves are bigger?"

I felt a little bit nervous, but I agreed. He picked me up and set me on his hip, and walked into the deeper water. He held on to my waist and jumped when the waves went by us, and it felt like we were being carried. It was a neat feeling.

After we got out, Daddy said he wanted more coffee, so he and Lisa went to get some.

I followed Ben back over to the other side of the park. There was a large pool with a volleyball net stretched across one end, and a bunch of older teens were in the water, hitting a volleyball back and forth.

At the other end there were a couple of basketball nets, and several boys in the water. One of them saw us and called, "Hey kid, we need one more for our team, wanna play?"

"Uh, okay," Ben started to walk over to the side of the pool. I followed him, noticing that it said, "4 feet" on the pavement.

"Um, Ben, I can't go in there, it's too deep for me," I told him, " 'Member, I can't swim?"

"Well, I wanna play basketball for a while!"

"But Ben-"

"Do we have to be together every second? Go find something else to do!" he snapped, turning away from me. He dove into the water, and when he surfaced, the boy that had spoken to him said, "All right, we're ready now! Let's kick some butt!"

I sighed and walked away. I climbed up into the big cabin structure and then went down the smaller water slide a couple of times, and then I got an inner tube and want on the Lazy River again. Then I went and found Daddy. He and Lisa were sitting in the food area drinking coffee.

"Hey, what's up, Charlie?" Daddy asked, putting his hand on my back.

"Nothing," I shrugged.

"Where's Ben?" Lisa asked.

"He's, uh, he wanted to play basketball with some boys," I said uneasily. I didn't want to get him into trouble.

"Why aren't you playing too?" Lisa looked at me with a slight frown.

"The pool is too deep for me," I said, "And Ben wanted to play with them and not me, he told me to find something else to do."

Lisa's frown deepened. "That wasn't very nice of him."

Daddy leaned forward. "Well, they aren't going to want to be together constantly, Lis, give him a break. They're still getting used to the sibling thing. I'm sure Charlie found stuff to do on her own," he sipped his coffee.

"Yeah," I said.

"You want to go on one of the big slides?" he asked me. There were four different huge slides, and in order to get to them you had to climb up multiple flights of stairs, all the way up almost to the ceiling.

"Uh, can we try the smallest one first?" I asked nervously.

Daddy laughed. "Are you scared? Sure, we can," he stood up and held out his hand. I took it and we started to go up the stairs. It seemed like it took forever to get up to the top. We had to wait in line because each inner tube could only hold 4 people. When it was our turn, Daddy sat behind me. The teenager who was working the ride pulled the inner tube into position, asked, "Ready?" and then pushed us with this foot.

The ride was very fast, and we went around several curves and spun around at the bottom, and it took my breath away. The inner tube landed in a shallow pool with a huge splash, and Daddy laughed.

"That was awesome!" he said, getting out of the tube. He helped me out and pulled the tube back to the side of the pool. "Let's go see if Lisa wants to go on a ride too."

When we walked back over to the table, Ben was there. The four of us climbed up the huge staircase again and decided to go on one of the other huge slides. The tunnel was larger and lit up with different colored lights and the raft that the four of us were in spun around as we went downwards. When it dumped us into the water, something happened, and the raft tipped over. I fell into the water and felt myself going under, and then the raft was on top of me. I started to flail and panic, and then I felt hands on me, grabbing me up out of the water. Daddy had ahold of me.

"Oh, baby, are you okay?" he looked at me with concern.

I was coughing and spluttering because I had swallowed some water.

"That was too scary, Daddy," I said, trying not to cry.

"It scared me too," he hugged me, "Let's get out. Are you hurt?"

Lisa had hurt the muscles in her shoulders when the raft tipped over, so she wanted go to the hot tub. Ben wanted to keep riding the big slides, so Daddy said he would take him. I went with Lisa over to the area with the hot tubs.

Lisa leaned back into the steaming water, and said, "Ohhh, this feels good. I don't know what I did to my shoulders."

I moved around, finding all the water jets that were down towards the bottom of the tub. I walked across from her, and a toddler wearing a large puffy floaty vest came drifting over to us, being pushed by the jets of water. She had big blue eyes and long curly dark hair.

She splashed her hands in the water and screeched, "Tubby!"

I walked over to her and reached for her, to take her back to her family. She leaned over and grabbed my hands, and I towed her forward.

"There you are!" I heard a woman say, and I turned. A woman with short blonde hair smiled at me. "These safety vests are so buoyant, she keeps getting away from me!"

When the toddler saw the woman, she said, "Mama!" in a happy voice, and I saw the woman holding her wrapped in a blanket, and felt the love that the little girl felt for the woman.

I passed the toddler to her mother, and then I blurted, "She loves you very much."

"Aww, thank you," said the woman, smiling.

"And she loves the man with the beard too," I blurted again, seeing a man with dark curly hair and beard standing next to the woman- he had his arm around the woman's shoulders.

The woman got a shocked look on her face. A man walked over next to her, and the little girl looked at him and held her arms up, saying, "Dada!"

"Honey, what's she talking about?" asked the man, looking at the woman. He was tall and balding and clean-shaven. He was not the man I had seen.

I gulped and walked backwards, over to Lisa. I could hear the man behind us saying, "What was- what bearded man? Honey?"

"Lisa, I gotta go," I said quickly, feeling my face get red. I scrambled out of the hot tub and hurried away, over to the table where we had stored our towels.

I sat down and put my head down on the table, feeling scared and trying not to cry.

"Charlie?" I heard Daddy's voice. I lifted my head. Daddy and Ben were walking over and at the same time, Lisa was coming from the direction of the hot tub.

I got tears in my eyes. "I—I saw something-" I blurted, "and I'm not sure-" I looked up at Daddy and told him what I had seen. I saw him looking at Lisa.

"Well, honey, we can't be sure what it was that you saw," Lisa told me, "The bearded man could be another family member, like the baby's uncle or something. Let it go, okay? You didn't do anything wrong."

"But- they were upset!" I wailed.

Daddy came over and squatted down in front of me, his eyes searching mine. "Remember, Charlie, you're not going to get into trouble for your abilities, right? It's all right," he said soothingly, putting his hand on mine.

"It's after 1 o'clock, let's go get some lunch," Lisa said.

Daddy stood up. "I think that's a great idea," he agreed.

"I don't want to leave now!" Ben protested, "You said we could go on The Tornado again!"

"We will, Ben, later- let's go eat," Daddy said, "Charlie needs a break."

"Not fair that we hafta leave because of her," Ben grumbled, giving me a small push.

"Ben!" Lisa scolded.

Daddy leaned down to Ben and looked him in the eyes. "Ben, you put your hands on Charlie again, and you'll be taking a trip across my knee," he said sternly.

Ben blushed and looked down.

"Apologize!" Lisa snapped.

Ben glanced at me. "Sorry," he muttered.

I fell into step next to Daddy, and he put his arm around my shoulders as we walked to the elevator.

"You okay?" he asked as we went into the room.

I nodded and went to get my clothes. I could hear Lisa talking to Ben in their room, and it sounded like she was scolding him again.

We had to wait a long time for a table at the restaurant. Ben and I took out our 3DSs and started to play together. We were playing a game where you made an animal character and then went on adventures together. The devices could connect if we stood next to each other and our games could "see" each other and the characters could interact.

"All right, let's go," Lisa said when a waitress came up to us. We followed her over to a table.

"Do y'all want the lunch buffet?" the waitress asked.

"That's probably the easiest thing to do," Lisa said.

"Sure," Daddy replied.

"I'll bring your drinks and you can get started whenever y'all are ready," the waitress smiled and walked away.

"Ben," Lisa said, "Time to eat now, buddy, put it away."

"Okay Mom, hold on," Ben said, "Grab that flower!" he said to me.

"I—I can't- my game froze!" I told him, pressing the buttons quickly. The device went dark and I turned it off. "It went off!"

"Dangit!" Ben slammed his 3Ds down on the table, and I jumped. Lisa took it from him and put it in her purse. "Young man, that is quite enough out of you," she said, "From now on your 3DS stays in the room, I'm tired of you not listening."

"But Mom, what'm I gonna do while I'm waiting?" Ben protested.

"Oh, I don't know, have a conversation with one of us like a normal human being?" Lisa rolled her eyes.

"Why don't you three go get your food and I'll hold the table," Daddy said.

We followed Lisa over to the buffet. The restaurant was shaped like a horseshoe, with the food in the middle part and tables on either side.

We tried to stay together but I kept losing sight of Lisa.

"It's okay," she said, "I'm done, I'm going to go back to the table. You two wait for each other and stay together."

Ben looked at me. "I'm gonna go ask for a grilled cheese," he told me, pointing at the station where a cook was making things like grilled cheese sandwiches and paninis.

"Be right there," I said, walking over to the fruit. I took some strawberries and melon slices. When I walked over to the grill, Ben was nowhere to be found.

"Ben? Ben!" I called.

I wandered around looking for him, but I couldn't find him anywhere. I slipped through the line of people waiting for subs, and the line of people at the toasters, then I gave up and decided to walk back to the table. I walked into the dining room and couldn't see Daddy or Lisa or Ben anywhere!

" D-daddy?" I called hesitantly, looking around nervously.

"What's wrong, kid, can't find your table?" a waitress asked me, "Check around the other side, they're probably over there, this place is confusing."

"Oh," I said, and I walked back through the food area. Once I had walked into the restaurant on the other side, I saw them, and hurried over to the table, feeling tears starting.

Ben was sitting next to Lisa and Daddy was standing up.

"-better go and look for her, young man!" Lisa was saying as I hurried up. She looked over and saw me. "Charlie! There you are!"

Daddy turned to me, and his face became relieved. "What happened, Charlie?" he asked.

"I just went to get fruit!" I said, starting to cry, "Ben said he wanted a grilled cheese sandwich, and then when I turned around he was gone!"

"I decided I didn't want one after all, is that a crime?" Ben asked snidely.

"No, young man, but I told you to stay with Charlie. Remember, she's never been here before and she doesn't know her way around."

"She's not a baby, she can figure it out for herself!"

"Benjamin!" Lisa said, "Don't you remember, you got lost the first time you were here too!"

"The next time you're supposed to wait for Charlie, you wait," Daddy told Ben.

"Okay, fine, I will!" Ben snapped.

"Ben-" Lisa started, and Daddy interrupted her, "You keep that up and you're going to have trouble sitting, kid," Daddy said in a hard voice.

Ben blushed and looked down.

"What do you have to say for yourself?" Daddy asked in that same hard voice.

"M' sorry," Ben said, in a not-quite-sulky tone.

Daddy looked at me. "You okay?" he asked me, and I nodded.

"All right, I'm going to go get some food." he said. I sat down and started to eat.

Ben didn't talk to anyone as he ate. Lisa and Daddy chatted and decided that we should take a break from the water and go out to the miniature golf range that was part of the resort. After we ate, we went outside and started to play mini golf.

We were halfway through the game when Lisa said, "Charlie, you're very red. Do you burn easily?"

"Oh, man, I forgot," Daddy said. He looked at her. "Yeah, she does, and I was thinking we were going to be indoors the whole time, and I didn't pack her sunscreen."

"I'm sure they sell sunscreen here," Lisa said.

"Well, she needs this special kind, she's allergic to regular sunscreen," Daddy explained.

"Allergic to sunscreen?" Ben asked, "That sounds weird!"

"I can't help it!" I said defensively, "Mommy tried to put 4 different kinds on me and I kept getting rashes an' I hadda have oatmeal baths all the time 'cause I was itchy!"

Ben laughed. "Oatmeal baths?"

"Yes, it's to treat itchy skin," Lisa told him, "I'm sorry you're allergic. Should we go inside then?"

Daddy tilted my head from side to side. "Yeah, Charlie should go inside." he said, "I don't want her to burn."

"Aw man!" Ben protested.

"I'll take her in, my shoulders are still hurting," Lisa said, "You boys can finish the game and we'll meet you back in the waterpark. I want to get back in the hot tub."

Lisa and I went back to the room and got back into our suits. I hung out with her in the hot tub for a while, and then Daddy came up to us.

"Wanna go on the smallest water slide?" he asked me. I got out, and followed him over to where Ben was standing.

As we walked over to the stairs, a boy called over, "Hey, Ben, want a cupcake?"

One of the boys Ben had played basketball with was in the food area with several kids and adults. There was a large spread of cupcakes and snacks set out.

"It's my birthday!" the boy told us.

"Can we, Dean?" Ben looked at Daddy.

Daddy nodded. "Sure, go ahead. I'll go check on your mom."

As he walked away, Ben asked, "Can my sister have one too?"

"Sure!" the boy told him, waving his hand at us.

A little girl came up to me. "I wike your baving suit," she said with a shy grin.

"Thanks," I said.

She huffed and rolled her eyes. "Dat's my big bruvver, an' he wikes dem 'Inja Turtuls. I fink dey dumb!"

I laughed. "Me too!"

"I'm gonna have a Hewwo Kitty birfday when it's mine!" she said proudly.

The cupcakes were decorated to look like each of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles's heads, with little different colored masks and everything.

A woman asked her, "Which one would you like, Maggie?"

The little girl laughed. "It don't matter, dey all dumb."

"Hey, shut up!" the boy said.

" 'Inja Turtul Dummies," Maggie said, and laughed.

The boy stepped closer to her. "I said shut up!" he repeated.

"Steven, calm down," the woman said. She handed Maggie and me a cupcake and we walked away and peeled the wrappers off.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Dorkfaces," I said to Maggie, and she laughed.

"Hey!" Ben was standing behind me, "Don't call 'em that!"

"Why not, that's what they are!" I giggled, "Teenage Stupid Ninja Turtles!"

Maggie laughed even harder. "You so funny!" she said.

"Not everyone likes them, you know!" I said to Ben.

"Well I think...I think Hello Kitty is, is stupid!" Ben snapped.

I looked at Maggie and shrugged, and we both laughed again.

"Ben, do you want to go on The Tornado again?" Daddy stood by the entrance to the food area. "Or do the two of you want to go on one of the other slides?"

"I don't like that one, can we go on a different one?" I asked, throwing my wrapper away. "Thanks for the cupcake!" I called, "Happy Birthday!"

I walked over to Daddy and put my arms around his waist. "Thanks for bringing us here, Daddy, this is really fun!"

Daddy hugged me back and said, "You're welcome, Charlie."

Ben came over to us, wiping crumbs off of his chin. "I'm ready!" he said, frowning at me slightly as we walked towards the stairs. I stuck my tongue out at him, and he stuck his tongue out at me, and we both laughed at each other.

The rest of the day seemed to go by fast. We went on the big slides a few more times, and Daddy took me into the wave pool. We got pizza for dinner, and then went to the Laser Tag arena afterwards. I had never played before, and Lisa, Ben and I had never held or shot a gun, so Daddy showed us all how to hold the laser gun and aim and shoot at people. You had to strap a vest on that would register when you got hit with the laser gun, and we practiced shooting for a little bit. Then we teamed up with a family of 5 against two other families, and ran around shooting. There were big stands to hide behind and every once in a while the arena would pump dry ice in to make it confusing, and the lasers looked neat shining through the smoke. Our team won because Daddy was such a good shot.

As we were taking off our vests, the father of the other family said to Daddy, "Wow, you're great with a gun! Are you law enforcement, or military?"

Daddy looked at him. "Something like that," he said, "My old man's a Marine, taught me everything I know."

"Well, thanks, you won the game for us!" the man held his hand out and Daddy shook it, smiling at him.

I felt very tired all of a sudden, and felt like I was falling asleep in the elevator on the way back to our rooms. Daddy helped me get undressed and into my pajamas.

"You had a big day today with no rest or nap, no wonder you're exhausted," he said. He tucked me in bed and kissed my forehead. "Listen, in a little while Lisa and I are going to go down to the grown-up hot tub and have some beer. I'll leave my cell phone number right here on the table, you call if you need anything, all right?"

"'Kay, Daddy," I murmured, but I was already falling asleep. I was exhausted, and I didn't even hear him leave the room.
