DISCLAIMER

Supernatural belongs to the WB.

The next morning, Dean was up bright and early, packing their things so that they could get a head start. He glanced at Sam, who for the moment, was sleeping peacefully. Thank goodness. He deserves some peace, he thought. As if something wanted to disprove him, Sam made a moaning noise.

"Aw, shoot," Dean said in annoyance. Why couldn't his brother ever get a break?

"No," Sam moaned. Dean, who had been looking at his weapons, turned to Sam. His brother sounded like he was in pain.

"Sammy?" he queried.

"No. Get out," the other Winchester. What? Dean wondered.

"Get out. No!" with a pained gasp, Sam jerked awake.

"You okay?" Dean questioned in concern.

"Yeah. Weird dream," Sam replied.

"Preminition?" Dean checked.

"No," Sam said moodily.

"You okay?" Dean queried.

"Fine," Sam lied. "Is it time to leave?" he queried.

"Yeah," Dean responded. Sam got up, gathered his things, and then followed his brother to the car. Dean put the key in the ignition and drove off. As they went down the road, Dean glanced at his brother.

"Hey. Do we need to talk?" he queried. Sam reacted in surprise.

"You're not another shapeshifter, are you?" he asked suspiciously.

"Hey, just 'cause I think it's a good idea to talk about somethin', don't mean I'm a shapeshifter," came the retort.

"I know. I'm sorry," his younger brother apologized. "And no, we don't need to talk," he continued. Dean didn't buy it, but he let it drop for the time being. However, he vowed to himself that they'd talk real soon.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Personally, I don't think it's so strange that Dean would want to talk. I mean, he did tell Sam that they'd have to talk about his nightmares in "Bloody Mary'.
