As Dean was cuddled up on the sofa next to Sarah enjoying a petting, he decided that she was officially his favorite person. Yes, hands down he was head over heels in love with the way her fingers seemed to find their way to hit just the right spots that made him purr. She was in the middle of scratching him in between the ears when she abruptly stood up, and he almost fell to the ground. Dean could not believe how unceremoniously she had just acted, he hadn't been treated like that since he became a cat!
Dean meowed plaintively, he wasn't done, she still hadn't rubbed his belly yet and it was only over once she had scratched his belly! They had been doing this for awhile now and she knew the routine.
"Sorry Fluffy." She said cuddling him before setting him down on the ground with a kiss on his nose.
"I'm late for class, we'll play when I get home."
Dean allowed her to leave, with every intention of nosing through her closet and looking for the bag of peanut m&m's he saw her stash in there the previous night. It might be a challenge without thumbs, but he was a Winchester after all, he could take any challenge that came his way...especially if it led to peanut m&m's.
Dean was on his way up the stairs when he walked past the door and ran—literally—into Sam.
Sam yelped as the sharp cat claws punctured through the skin on his behind.
"Sorry?" Dean said, Sam seemed to be looking extra mad. But it was an accident after all, he was still trying to get used to those claws. They were useful though, it made him feel kind of like Freddie Krueger—if Freddie had no thumbs, that was.
"Dean! Watch the damn claws!" Sam barked, more menacingly than you would picture a bichon frise to be capable of, the great big fluff balls that they were.
"Cranky much, Princess? Did the little girl take away your tiara." Dean was laughing so hard that he sounded like a meow mix commercial.
Sam growled, "Its all well and good enough for you, you have a litter box! I have to wait forever for them to let me go out..." Sam pawed at the door as the dad walked by, but he didn't see him. "You have no idea..."
Sam's voice trailed off as he looked over at Dean and saw that his brother didn't seem to be listening to his overfilled bladder plight but was licking himself.
"Dean! Are you even listening to me?"
"Yes," Dean paused as he felt a catch in the back of his throat. "Fur ball." Dean coughed. "Now, what were you saying?"
Sam barked, and this time the mom walked by and let him out to go and do his business. Humans clearly did not understand what it was like to wait on someone else when you needed to do your business, it was terribly uncomfortable. And he learned quickly just to hold it, he peed on the kitchen floor once by accident and the mom whacked him in the nose with a paper. That hurt!
"Later." Sam told his brother before escaping outdoors.
"Clearly." Dean smirked, or at least tried, cats couldn't quite smirk but he did his best. He was a one of a kind cat.
Sam had just relieved himself and had every intention of going inside and cuddling up with the mom who would let him snuggle up on her lap, and watch some daytime TV, maybe have a snack...then the little girl from hell, better known as Kimmy came out and ruined it all. She walked out carrying a leash and that damn little pink tutu and he just could feel that the day was going to go downhill from there.
"Let's go Princess. Mommy says that Sarah won't mind if I take you to my friends party, theirs going to be lots of other dogs there too so you can make some friends aside from Fluffy."
Kimmy held him tight and wrestled him into the pink tutu with Sam knew from experience was nearly impossible to get out of. He swore this kid was a demon of some kind, if he could speak English he'd be double checking to make sure that she didn't flinch or that her eyes turned black at "christo".
"And don't worry." Kimmy continued as they made their way down the block to her friend's house. "Fluffy won't be lonely, the twins are coming over so that mommy can watch them while Auntie Lucy sets up for their birthday party they're gonna be two years old today and they'll love him to bits."
Dean had been quite mistaken when he connected the phrases, "child's party" and "fun." Those were not synonymous. Or at least, two year old twins, and small cat were not.
These children were evil, and for the love of all that was holy, no one saw it. They poked at him, prodded at him, tormented him. He couldn't run from it, he couldn't hide, and most importantly he couldn't find Sam! Where the hell was Sam when he was being tormented by two year old she-devils,, that he couldn't even tell apart!
Dean was in the kitchen, desperately looking for a hiding spot to get away from Lara and Tara, when he heard Sam' name mentioned. Well, Sam's dog name.
"Yeah, Kimmy took Princess to a party with her, they were both really excited."
Dean would be damned, here he was fighting for his life, against evil demonic twin girls and Sam was at a party? Unbelievable! Dean hissed in annoyance, bad move, he thought in hindsight as he felt himself being picked up by kitty enemy number one, also known as Lara...or Tara.
"Come one Fluffy," She said, then turned to her sister, Dean assumed she was the older and brains of the operation, though that wasn't saying much. "Lets go Tara, lets go and drop Fluffy into the pool. Grandma says that a kitty will always land on its feet."
Dean meowed desperately. He needed a voice, he needed to be human, he needed his gun, he needed opposable thumbs! They were going to drown him at this rate, they couldn't drown him. What was more undignified than that, he was a Winchester...at least let him be eaten alive by angry frog and mice spirits!
Sam was going to kill his brother, he swore on all that was holy, his brother was a dead cat. They could be hunting demons right now, they could be getting laid, they could be doing anything. But, no, Dean was a freaking idiot and couldn't keep his mouth shut and now they were pets. Not only was he a pet, but he was a male bichon frise in a freaking pink tutu and the other dogs wouldn't stop laughing at him! It was embarrassing and completely un-winchester like.
"Lets give each other and the puppies manicures!" One of the girls squealed.
"Thats a great idea." Kimmy agreed. "We can open a puppy salon. We can give them baths and curl their fur and put bows in it."
As she grabbed Sam, he wondered where the hell a parent was. Wasn't animal torture illegal? He'd like to call PETA and have them arrest this girl because if this wasn't animal torture he didn't know what the hell was.
Dean was truly terrified of the twins. They were his new fear, he could take anything over them, he'd rather be on a crashing 747 than playing hide and hope to god the spawn of satan didn't find him.
They'd nearly just about drowned him playing 'lets see if kitty lands on his feet.' His only comment on that game was that he was pretty sure it didn't apply to throwing cats in the water, but hey, it was just a thought.
Dean was curled up in the bathtub, waiting out the little demons when he was discovered. And he'd be damned but it was no one but Sarah, who betrayed his hiding spot.
"Hey girls...I found Fluffy!" she called out, "Why don't you came and get him, play with him some, he looks a bit sad."
Sad? Are you out of your freaking mind girl? I'm terrified! Next thing I know they're gonna try to pull off my tail just to see if it pops off.
Sam felt violated. He'd been dunked in water, his fur itched from soap not being washed out...he didn't care what that one girl said, he did not have fleas! He was much too clean for that. But the worst of all were the burns on his butt from the curling iron. Did this girl think he had buns of steel or something? It burned, it really, really burned, and if this what it felt like every time girls curled their hair...they were freaking crazy.
"We're almost done Princess." Kimmy said, quite perkily, she was having a lot of fun. "And then you'll look pretty and all the boy dogs will want to love you."
Sam growled, and grimaced—or maybe not, he wasn't sure dogs could grimace. What now the kid was going to pimp him out? Had she forgotten that under the bows and the tutu and the nail polish...HE WAS A BOY DOG! A boy, and would it kill her to treat him like one? He wasn't ever going to be able to live it down it Dean saw him like this, though if the girl kept it up, he may not have to worry, he was pretty sure she had roasted his bum like a marshmallow, so maybe he'd die and be saved the embarrassment.
Dean needed help.
However, it was not the kind of help that his brother would joke about him needing. Right now he'd just settle for someone to help him get the stupid plastic bags off of his paws that demon seed one and two tied on quite tightly. You wouldn't imagine so but it was really quite difficult to walk like that.
He also wouldn't object to someone helping him out and locking the brats in the closet.
Dean had to stop every few steps to try and shake the bags off of his feet but it was futile. He wondered if there was such a thing as a kitty .45...or even being able to pick up a handful of salt would be comforting. He felt so defenseless, and deserted. He couldn't believe his brother deserted him to go to a party.
Even after all of this torture, they didn't even spare a piece of cake for him.
It was the icing on the cake for him, and beyond cruel.
He wished he'd never made that stupid wart-filled face witch mad.
He really, really wished he didn't. Sam was right, they had to break out of here and get back there, and he had to try to apologize...beg for thumbs back.
And he hoped to god no one had touched his impala, 'cause if they did, thumbs or not he would cause them great pain.
Oh, and I have to credit the idea of angry frog and mice spirits to supernaturalsammy67, now doesn't the idea of them make you want to not dissect? Okay, that's my rant, and plug, and credit. Check out her stuff...she rocks, and inspired quite a few ideas for this fic. thanks for reading guys, and i'll have a new chapter up asap, hopefully by sunday at the latest.
