Chapter Eight
The next morning, Athena woke up at 6:45. They were supposed to be at the hospital at 9 but she went ahead and woke Sam up.
"sam? Do you want to go out for breakfast or do you want to sleep?" She asked.
"Where do you want to go?" he said. His voice was still a little froggy.
"I don't know yet. Figured we'd drive around and find something good. Yay, or neigh?"
"Um, alright. I'm going to take a shower and we'll go."
"Sounds great." Sam crawled out of bed and grabbed an outfit from his bag. He walked out the door and went into the bathroom. Athena laid down on Sam's bed. She promised herself it would only be for a minute. But it was longer than a minute. When Sam got out of the shower, he went back to his room to find Athena curled up asleep in his bed. He looked at her and smiled. Would it really make that big of a deal if they were a couple minutes late? Sam got in his bed next to Athena and pulled her closer to him.
About an hour later Dean woke Sam up.
"Hey, good morning sleeping beauty! Did you have some fun last night when everyone was sleeping?"
"Dean, damn it. Get the hell out of here."
"Okay, okay. I'm just happy you finally found your brain. It was lost for so long."
"Dean I didn't do anything, she woke me up this morning and asked if I wanted to go out for breakfast. So I took a shower and when I came back she was asleep. Nothing happened, I just laid down next to her."
"And put your arm around her?"
"Her skin was like ice. I was being a good friend."
"You were being a good friend by sleeping as close to her as possible. Makes sense. Okay well if you say so. I'll just be on my way." Dean left the room and went into the kitchen to fix himself a bowl of cereal.
"Look, I'm sorry. I shouldn't of fallen asleep here. It's my fault. Dean's going to make such a big deal out of this." Athena said. She didn't move for a couple seconds. But then she got up and went to the living room.
"Hey, Teenie! How'd you sleep?" Dean teased.
"Shut the hell up, Dean!" Athena was pissed off. She grabbed her skirt and top and went to the bathroom to take a shower, brush her teeth, get dressed and fix her hair. She didn't have long if they still wanted to catch breakfast. A little while later Athena stopped by Sam's room where he was still hiding.
"Sam, can you get your suit on? We've got to get moving." Athena put in her last earring and pulled her top down a little to smooth out the last of the wrinkles.
"Sam? Are you okay? I told you I was sorry."
"it's okay, really. Don't worry about it, okay? I'm going to get my suit on and we'll go."
"Okay." Sam went to the bathroom and came out about 10 minutes later.
"Dean, we need a ride to Athena and Autumn's car. Can you drive us?" Sam called. There was no response. "Dean?" Sam and Athena walked over to the fold out couch where Dean and Autumn were curled up like Sam and Athena had been.
"Dean, I need a ride to the bar where we all met up. Athena and Autumn's car is there." Dean just moaned and pulled Autumn closer to him.
"Screw you Dean, I'm taking your car." Athena said.
"No! No, no, no not mine. I'll drive you!" He cried, getting off the couch.
"That's okay I've got it, thanks again!" Athena went out the door with Sam following. Sam slammed the door behind him, nearly making Dean walk into it.
"You know he's going to kill us?" Sam asked laughing as Athena took the driver's seat.
"Not as badly as Autumn will, when she finds out we stole his car." Athena laughed with him before starting the car with the keys she'd taken from Dean's pocket in the jeans he'd left in the bathroom, she grabbed her purse and sorted through it. After a few minutes she pulled out a name tag and clipped it to her breast pocket. "I am Dr. Athena Armstrong, today." she said before revving the engine and burning rubber.
