1Disclaimer: If I owned them do you think I would waste time writing about them? I also don't own Ipod, bluetooths or peanut m and m's. Or McDonalds., or Rendezvous for that matter...
A/N: Sorry I took so long. This chapter was a bit of a pain. I had to threaten to rewrite four times before it decided to behave and do as it was told. Also I had this story in mind for about a month and a half or so. Long before current previews for upcoming shows. Thanks to Sarah the mutant farm girl for the shameless plug in one of her stories, and for just being encouraging. You should check out her stories.
Sarah the mutant farm girl: Don't worry. Michael's supposed to be a little weird. But you'll just have to stay tuned to see why!
Hoofstails Gal: Thanks for pointing that out... maybe that will keep from typing and posting it out at three in the morning...
Choices Are Always Given

Adyn just shrugged. "Hey dude. I know. But maybe they'll find something." Stifling a yawn she shooed him out the room. "Listen bud. You have classes tomorrow, and I have a long day we both need sleep."
"Yeah you need all the help you can get!"
"At least mother's and children don't run screaming when they see me."
"Whatever. Night whore." Monti stood to leave.
"Night, bitch ass ho face."
Montana just rolled his eyes and shut the door while Adyn rolled over, snuggled under the covers and fell back asleep.

The next morning Adyn called the girls. They all agreed to meet at Rendezvous at seven p.m.. When she called Kale and Ash, she asked if they could postpone staying the night, since Montana had a rather large test coming up and had asked for help studying for it. The girls understood, of course, considering they had a few tests coming up as well. After getting off the phone she set about getting the guest room ready, cleaning her room and changing the sheets, as well as various other house hold chores. Most people hated house work, but Adyn didn't mind horribly much. Montana had classes and since she had already graduated and did outside consulting from home, she had plenty of time to tackle said housework. She plugged in her ipod, put her blue tooth on and worked and cleaned at the same time. She took a break from cleaning at about noon, grabbed a bite to eat and went to the store to stock up on food for her coming guests. As she walked into the grocery store, her phone rang. Not recognizing the number, she answered "Sara Adyn McKenzie, Independent Consultant. How may I help you?"
"Hey, Adie."
"Michael? Why are you calling?"
"Dean likes peanut M&M's. Sam likes pancakes with chocolate chips. Oh, and they both like 'manly' breakfasts. Whatever that means."
"You called to tell me what food to get?" Adyn asked incredulously.
"Yes... Apparently it's important. Oh and get some Lucky Charms."
"Ok. The M&M's I had already planned on. Love them and I'm running out 'cuz Monti keeps filching mine. And I already figured they'd like some real food. I'll pick up stuff for breakfast, including Lucky Charms. They can have those when they get in. How do they like Italian? Never mind. I've got another idea."
"Sounds like you got it covered. I'll let you know if there's anything else."
"Aight Michael. Bye."
"Bye."
Adyn rolled her eyes and finished her shopping. After putting the groceries away she showered and changed for the evening.

There was fire and ice all around. But the fire wasn't burning the ice... A girl and boy, both seemingly in their twenties, were caught in the ice as the fire raged around them. Pockets of fire would disappear only to reappear quickly. The ice blurred the faces' characteristics but strain was evident on the both. By now the fire was beginning to chip away at the ice. Just when the blaze looked like it was going to consume the duo, the flames suddenly went out, and the girl fainted. As the ice came tumbling down, Sam realized the girl was Adyn. The boy resembled Adyn, so he assumed it was a relation. Suddenly, a brilliant white light approached the duo, as the area was pitched into almost darkness.

Dean awoke quickly, listening intently to the sounds around him. He had pulled off the road to catch a quick nap. There it was again, the moaning. 'Sam!' Turning quickly to Sam, Dean started the normal routine. "Sammy. Come on, wake up. It's ok. It's just a nightmare. Sam. Wake UP." Dean said forcefully as he gently slapped Sam. Sam stirred so Dean started the car and pulled back on the interstate.
"Where are we?" Sam asked as he rubbed his face.
"Arkansas, 'bout an hour outside Memphis. Should be there around nine."
"Hm."
Silence filled the car, but Dean made no effort to cover it with music.
"Wanna talk about it?" Dean asked in that oh-so-wonderful-big-brother, 'I'm really worried about you but I'm not gonna admit it.' tone.
"No... Yes. I don't know."
"Nightmare or were just you going all Haley Joel on me?"
"Both? I mean it started out with fire everywhere. And then there was this giant ice cube around Adyn and this guy... the fire was trying to get them, I think. I'm not sure. Then Adyn fainted, and this light started walking toward them, and then you woke me up."
" So... light like 'someone with a flashlight' light? Or something supernatural light?'"
"Supernatural. Definitely."
"Well, now we know we gots us something to kill."
"I don't think so."
"What?! You just said supernatural."
"Yeah, but... I don't know. This whole thing is weird. Not normal, well normal in the Winchester sense."
"Maybe this Adyn chick will have answers."
"Maybe."
"By the way... you never told me. Is Adyn hot?"
"Dean! Upstairs brain, please! I mean, come on! I think we have more important issues than whether or not she's hot."
"Dude. Come on, is she? What's she look like? You know you have to tell me that much. I'll need to know anyways so that I'll know her when I see her."
"Fine." Sam sighed. He didn't really want to tell Dean, because in truth Adyn was very good looking, but he also knew that Dean had a very good point. "She was wearing heels, so I'm betting that she's about 5'5". Brunette. She'll be wearing a red halter top and dark jeans. But I wouldn't suggest approaching her, 'specially in a Dean approach, 'cause 'Monti' shows up."
"That's all?" 'Might be fun...'
"Dean leave it alone."
"What? I'm not doing anything."
"No, but you're thinking about it. And I don't need you making enemies with people who might have some answers."
"Fine." Sam just looked at him. "I said fine! Jeez. Don't get your panties in a wad, Samantha. I'll try to behave."
"Thanks, Dean. You're a real nice guy, ya know?" Sam said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes.
"Hey I haven't beat your ass today. That just proves I'm nice."

Montana hated Tuesdays. Hated them with a passion. 'Why did Adie have to pick Tuesday to go downtown?' He knew that Adyn and the girls would be out at the restaurant till at least nine-thirty, but he couldn't get down there to make sure she was ok till classes let out and theoretically classes didn't end till 9pm. He knew he was the 'little brother', but hey, she was his only sister. Of course he was a little protective of her. 'Ok, hella protective of her.' But he had a right to be. She was all he had left in the way of family. He figured that was his fault. 'Good God! Was history always this boring?' He checked his watch for the umpteenth time. It read 8pm. Maybe he could slip out the back before the professor noticed. He checked his watch again. 'How can it still be eight? If he isn't done by 8:05, I'm leaving.'
"Ok, class, that finishes up pre-Alexander Greece. Read chapter five before next class and..."
Montana was up and out of the class before the teacher had finished. Throwing his bag in the back of the Jeep, he got in and ran through McDonald's for a quick bite, then made his way to Rendezvous. After finding his sister's Mustang, he parked across the street and surreptitiously walked into Rendezvous to make sure Adyn was still inside. He quickly found her and watched a moment as she interacted with her friends. Only after he was sure she was ok did he make his way back to the Jeep to eat and read the paper. He was just getting ready to throw out his trash when a rumbling down the street stopped him. Looking up he saw a black Impala cruise down the street and park. 'Sweet ride,' he thought to himself. 'Adie would love that.' And without another thought to the car he sat back and waited for Adyn.

"Ok. The Jeep's over there, and her car is still here." Sam said quietly.
"So how are we approaching this? I mean, nothing supernatural to segue with. And 'Hi there. My little bro here had this unexplainable vision about you... Mind if we talk to you?' always goes over real well."
"I don't know. I hadn't thought that far... I figured we could follow her home and figure it out from there."
"Oh that's real nice, Sam."
"Hey! We've done worse..."
"Flying by the seat of your pants does have a certain endearing quality to it."
"Here she comes." Sam muttered, effectively ending conversation.

Adyn walked out of Rendezvous with her group of girls, laughing all the while. "Girls, we are going to have to do this again. Soon." Then she noticed Montana standing outside his Jeep. Smiling, she waved. "Monti, I told you. I'd be fine. Besides you should be at home studying for your big test."
"I know, but I couldn't keep my mind on it."
Adyn rolled her eyes. "Whatever. I'll be home in a bit." She hugged all the girls and walked them to their cars where she compulsively hugged them again and promised to call.

"Dean, this isn't my vision."
"What? Is it the same girl?"
"Yeah, but it's changed."
Dean turned to Sam to ask,. "Changed how? Anything important?"
A knock at the driver side window made both the boys jump. There stood the object of their discussion. She flashed them a brilliant smile and waved a little sheepishly. Dean, being Dean, was busy, well, being Dean. Which entailed giving her a very good and thorough once over, while flashing that charming smile. Which in turn earned him smack to the back of the head from Sam and the glare of death from Montana, who happened to be standing behind Adyn. Sam rolled his eyes and got out of the car. Dean followed suit.
"Can we help you?" Sam asked.
"Nice car. And no. But I can probably make this easier for you. Sam and Dean, right? My guess is you guys are trying to decide how to talk to me without looking crazy. Don't worry. I beat you to the crazy part." Adyn said warmly.
Dean and Sam looked at each other and then at Adyn. "Well you seem to know us..." "Awkward." Sam and Dean said at the same time.
"This is my brother, Montana. I'm Adyn. But you guys already knew my name, didn't you? And you think I'm off my rocker, buckets of crazy, but then you deal with what 'normal people' would call buckets of crazy every day, so why don't' you follow Monti and I back to our place and I'll explain things there."
"We'd love to," Sam replied,. "but we need to find a place to stay first." He said throwing her his best apologetic 'I really wish we could' look.
"Nonsense. I didn't spend all day cleaning and shopping for you to stay somewhere else." Adyn said offhandedly.
"We really couldn't..." Sam objected..
"We'd love to." Dean said cutting Sam off. Sammy glared at Dean across the top of the car.
"Adyn. That one," Montana said, pointing at Dean, "gets the guest bedroom."
Adyn laughed. "If that makes you feel better. Sure you don't want him in with you?" she asked teasingly.
Montana scowled. "The only way that would happen was if he was in a body bag, and.you don't approve of unnecessary killing."
"Dude, that just sick. 'Sides, I don't swing that way." Dean smirked.
"Better my room than Adyn's," Montana spat out as he glared at Dean.
"Chill, Monti. Big sis can take care of herself, you know."
"What do you say we go? Before my ass of a big brother alienates everyone further?" Sam asked as a diversionary tactic. He really didn't need or want Montana and Dean in a full-on pissing contest.
Adyn nodded. "Yeah, lets. Don't worry about food, boys. I've got stuff at the house for you." She shouted as she climbed into her Mach 1.
Montana climbed into the Jeep as the boys got back in the Impala, and, with the roar of three engines, they all headed home.

A/N: So there was one of the chapters from hell. I don't know if chapter four will be up or not before I leave town. If not, you can expect an update late Monday/early Tuesday. You know the drill. Read it. Review it. Like's? Dislikes? Glaring mistakes? Anything at all. Nothing better than getting an email saying someone reviewed, so go ahead and make my day.
