By the time Dean turned around, Hunter was already chasing Riley around the house. They were running so fast and he was chasing her with a wooden staff of some sort. They were screaming and laughing and just all over the place. Dean Winchester for once in his life had no idea what he was up against.

Riley- "Ah, stop it Hunter! Don't you dare hit anything or me with that or I will get you."

Hunter- "Oh, come on Riley. You could never beat me."

Dean saw Riley give a mischievous grin and saw her kick the back of Hunter's legs causing him to the floor. Then she was on his back holding him down with his arm behind his back. Dean couldn't help but be reminded of Kat and how they used to act like that when they were younger. Dean had always challenged her and claimed that she would never win against him but she always did and now his daughter was the same way.

Dean- "God help any guy that crosses her when she's older." he said quietly to himself.

Dean- "Okay, why don't we sit down and play video games or something."

Riley looked up at Dean and reluctantly let go of her brother and helped him to his feet. Hunter brushed himself off and just glared at his sister.

Hunter- "You only won cause I let you win."

Riley- "Did not, I won cause I'm a girl and girls are better!"

Dean- "You are exactly like your mother you know that?"

Riley- "Is that a bad thing?"

Dean with a smirk- "No, not at all. It's extremely good and you are just so much like her!"

Hunter- "And what about me?"

Dean- "Believe it or not, you're actually a lot like I was. You have the good looks, charm, wisdom, gracefulness, and that makes you extremely lucky."

Riley rolled her eyes and Dean smirked at how much like her mother she really was.

Then they all sat down and Hunter pulled out a video game system and started it up.


Sam and Kat had arrived at the Zoo and instantly found the new wolf exhibit that was going in that was blocked off. From what they had heard, that was where the four boys had entered and changed. Sam and Kat snuck in without anyone noticing and were in a huge room with lots old symbols on the walls.

Kat- "Well now wonder the boys got in here. They aren't very good at security around here. And look at these symbols."

Sam- "Yeah, these are really old. And look at that staff over there. This is definitely a pretty simple possession case."

Kat- "So pretty much, the kids walked in here, probably touched the staff, turned into wolves in the attitude sense and at night when attacking people, actually turn into wolves."

Sam- "Yep. So now all that we have to do is figure out how to exactly get them back to normal and then go back to our little vacation."

Kat- "And hopefully we can do this at home cause I can't imagine what might happen is we leave Dean there in charge of them for too long."

Sam- "Yeah, I agree. Especially since they are both so much like the two of you. Both of you were quite a handful even I remember that."

Kat- "Hey, you weren't Mr. Perfect yourself in case you didn't know."

And with that they got back into the car and headed home.


Hunter- "Ha, you lose again. I hate to tell you but I don't think that you're ever gong to win."

Dean- "How do you know that I'm not just letting you win?"

Riley- "Cause of the how frustrated you are getting! Plus you are obviously trying."

Hunter- "So now what game do you wanna play?"

Dean- "Well, how about we just watch some TV or take a break?"

Hunter- "Oh, come on dad. You know you wanna play some more!"

Dean was surprised at how much that simple word of "dad" meant so much to him. He had such pride when he heard his son, yes his son call him that.

Riley- "I agree with dad, we should talk or something."

Hunter- "Fine. Why don't you tell us about some of the stuff you've hunted?"

So Dean began telling his two kids all about all of the adventures that he and Sam had been on. He made sure to not tell them about his run in with the Reaper and how he almost died twice as to not scare them too much. He was surprised at how the listened and didn't seem scared at all about it. He made sure to add all of the fighting in the stories in order to keep their attention and prove to them that the evil had been taken care of. He was about to talk about the shape shifter when Riley interrupted him.

Riley- "Why don't you tell us about you and mom?"

Dean- "Well, what do you want to know?"

Riley- "How you guys met and all of the things that the two of you did together before you had to leave?"

Dean- "Well Kat and I have known each other since she was born. Her parents and mine were very good friends and she was always over at our house. When your grandparents, her parents, died my parents took her in. She was always very stubborn and never backed down from a fight. (Dean smiled from the memories). She was just like you (he said to Riley). There was one time at school when a boy said something to her that got her real angry and after school she went over and punched him and they started fighting. Unfortunately she was really out of her league because he had many of his friends there that aided him in beating her up. She had to be get stitches above her, had a nice shiner, and was suspended."

Hunter- "Wow, was she always like that?"

Dean- "Pretty much."

Dean and the kids started laughing and never heard Sam and Kat enter the house and they stood in the doorway watching Dean and listening carefully.

Riley- "What about her and other boys?"

Dean- "Well she was dating this boy for a while. Uh, what's his name, oh yeah Andy. He was a senior and she was sophmore in high school. They dated for a while which made Sam and I pretty suspicious of him. Ya, see he was in my grade and we were good friends so I knew all about how he was when it came to girls. And I really didn't trust him when he started dating her. They went to the prom together and I went with one of my good friends that was girl and kept a close eye on her all night. During one of the slow dances his hands went a little low and I was over towards them right away."

Sam was looking at Kat and saw her smiling. Obviously she was remember it just as Dean and Sam had remembered how angry Kat was with Dean after what had happened.

Dean- "Well I went over pulled his hands off or her and punched him square in the jaw. When he got back up he took a swing and we started having a fight right in the middle of prom. I ended up winning and I grabbed Kat's hand and left. My date was mad but all that mattered was that I got Kat out of there. Once I got her to the car, I turned to see if she was all right and she slapped me. And I mean hard. I had a handprint and bruises for a few days! She wouldn't talk to me for the longest time and finally she realized that I did it because I cared and that's when your mom and I started dating. It was interesting at first but once she noticed my charm she was helpless. That's the kind of effect that we have on women and that's what you have to do if anyone comes near Riley. It's your job to protect her." the last part was said towards Hunter.

Kat- "You really need to work on your story telling and your memory."

Dean turned around and blushed when he saw Sam and Kat standing in the doorway smirking.

Dean- "What do you mean by that. I told it exactly how it happened and how long have you been standing there anyway?"

Kat- "Long enough to hear your story of how you "saved me from the evil Andy." Which may I add he was not doing anything wrong."

Dean- "Admit it, you were only with him to make me jealous!"

Sam looked over and saw Kat blushed and that's when he knew that Dean was right. It always seemed like Kat and Dean had a way of reading each other really well.

Sam- "Okay, so did everything go okay?"

Dean and Kat were just staring at each other smiling. Neither of them heard that Sam was talking to them until he spoke again walking closer to Dean.

Sam- "Hello, are you two even here with us?"

Dean- "What?"

Sam- "How did everything go today?"

Riley- "Well, dad got his butt beat by Hunter repeatedly in all of the games and then dad was telling us about he and mom."

Kat- "Well it looks like everyone's in one piece so that's good. You two weren't too rough on your father I hope."

Hunter- "Nope, he said that I'm exactly like him!"

Kat- "Well, that's nice. I wouldn't go around boosting about it, but it is a huge compliment!"

Kat went and sat down next to Dean and Dean put his arm around her and pulled her close. Sam went over and also took a seat. Riley and Hunter decided that they were bored and ran off up to one of their rooms to find something that would interest them.


Dean- "So did you guys have a fun trip to the zoo?" he added a little sarcasm to the comment.

Kat- "Oh yeah, the exhibit was so exciting!" in a mocking tone.

Sam- "We went to the room and there was a staff and ancient symbols all over the walls. It seems as though the kids went in there are were possessed by the wolves."

Dean- "Well all you have to do is break the staff and cover up the symbols or wreck them."

Sam- "Yeah, we knew that but we wanted to check to make sure that there wasn't anything else or any other surprises waiting for us."

Dean- "So are you two going back tomorrow?"

Kat who was holding John's journal and reading it- "Yep, but we have to wait till night for it to work correctly. From what John has in here, we have to break the staff and destroy the symbols but it has to occur at night when they are the strongest."

Dean- "Nope, I don't like it. You two can't go there when it's most powerful plus the kids will probably be trying to protect it. It's too dangerous!"

Kat- "And when has dangerous ever stopped any of us. Plus there isn't much you can do about it."

Sam- "She's right Dean and we're going weather you like it or not!"

Dean knew he was defeated and just nodded. The tension was broken by Missouri entering the room.

Missouri- "Wow, the house is still standing and looks like everyone else is in one piece as well. So I take it that everything went well today."

Dean- "It was amazing! I never would have envisioned myself as a family kind of guy, but they are great!"

Missouri- "Well, child, that's because they are part of you. And I take it you saw the similarities as well?"

Dean- "They are exactly the same as I was and as Kat was. It's so incredible. And it was nice to be able to catch up and connect with them."

Missouri- "Well that's good cause you still have a lot of days here resting."

Dean just smiled and turned on a movie on TV.
