Dean loves going to the park. He likes going down the slide, having Castiel push him on the swings, and spinning around on the carousel.
His favorite part, though, his absolute favorite part, is digging in the sand.
Sometimes he finds things, like money. Once he found a hot wheels car, still in its package.
Most of the toys he finds are for older kids. He puts those toys in a box he has under his bed. It's full of toys he's going to give to Sam when he's older.
Dean swung his legs back and forth excitedly as he quickly sucked down his apple juice.
Castiel slowly sipped his grape juice as he watched Dean with interest.
When Dean finished, he shoved his juice box into the small plastic bag next to him. He grabbed his red plastic bucket with one hand and with the other tugged at the sleeve of Castiel's shirt.
"C'mon, Cass," he said. "It's digging time!"
"I am not finished with my juice," he said.
Dean sighed and turned towards his mom.
"Mommy," he said, making puppy eyes at her, "can Sammy come help me dig?"
"Are you going to be careful?" she asked, and Dean nodded. "Don't put him on the swings again."
"Promise."
Sam, who was sitting on the grass in front of Mary's legs, looked up at Dean and smiled. Mary lifted him onto his feet.
"Hold his hand, Dean," she said.
Dean grabbed his hand and carefully led him to a shady spot under the slide.
Sam plopped down on the sand and Dean sat next to him.
Dean pulled out two of the shovels from his bucket.
"Here, Sam," he said. "You can use the pink one." He handed Sam the shovel, and he stuck the handle into his mouth. Dean laughed. "No, Sammy, like this." He took it out of Sam's mouth and stuck in his hand, the right way.
"Dirt?" Sam asked.
"No, sand," Dean shoved his shovel in the sand, and found a quarter. "Look, a quarter. Say 'quarter'"
"Water," Sam said.
"'Quarter'."
"Courter."
"'Quarter'."
"Jell-O!"
"Hi, Dean," Dean looked up and saw Lisa Braedon standing next him.
"Oh, hi Lisa," he said unenthusiastically.
"Is this your brother?" she asked as she sat down next to Sam.
"Yeah," Dean said. "His name is Sam."
"He is so adorable," Lisa said.
"Yes. He is."
Sam reached up a grabbed part of her hair.
"Soft," he said. Lisa laughed pulled her hair out of his grasp. Sam giggled and poked her with the shovel. "Diggy."
"He wants you to dig with us," Dean said when he saw her confused face.
"Oh," she took the shovel from him and started to dig.
Dean took the yellow shovel from the bucket and gave it to Sam.
Castiel had finished his juice awhile ago, and was going to go dig with Dean, but when he saw Lisa, he stayed where he was and watched.
If Dean wants to play with Lisa, he thought, then I should not interrupt. He really wanted to cry, but only babies cry, so he didn't.
Crowley saw Castiel looking completely miserable.
"Cassy," he said as he walked up next to Castiel. "What happened?"
"Dean is playing with Lisa," Castiel pointed to them.
Balthazar ran up to Crowley and grabbed his hand.
"Crowley," he said, "you gotta move or Ash is gonna get us." He dragged Crowley to the tunnel.
Balthazar giggled as he saw Ash chasing Gabriel in circles on the other side of the tunnel.
"Balthy," Crowley said. "Who's that icky girl with Dean?"
Balthazar looked and said, "oh that's stupid face Lisa. She is the most annoying girl, ever."
"Cassy doesn't like her."
"Of course he doesn't! She never leaves Dean alone."
Crowley tilted his head to the side and thought for a few seconds.
"Balthy, he said, "get her to go to the top of the slide."
"Why?"
"Please just do it."
"Tell me why."
"If you don't do it," Crowley said with puppy eyes, "then that means you don't love me."
Balthazar sighed and got of the tunnel. He walked over to Dean and Lisa.
"Hi Lisa," he said.
"Oh, hi, uhm…"
"Balthazar."
"Right, whatever."
He sat down and watched them dig for a few seconds.
"I think there's a better spot to dig somewhere else," he said.
"Really? Where?" Dean asked excitedly.
"Uhm…I don't know where exactly…Maybe if you went to the top of slide you could see it."
"I'll go look," Lisa said.
As she climbed up the ladder, Crowley followed her. She stopped at that top and looked around, and Crowley shoved her off. She hit the ground and sand flew everywhere.
Balthazar covered his mouth to keep from laughing.
She started crying, and little girl with curly brown hair came over to her.
"Auntie Jane, Auntie Jane!" the little girl shouted. "Lisa's hurt!"
Gabriel was running by, but when he saw the curly haired girl, he stopped in his tracks.
Pretty, was the only thing he thought as he stared at her. She stared back at him.
Her aunt came over and picked up Lisa, trying to stop her crying.
"Kali," she said. "Let's go. We have to go home." She followed her aunt, but looked over her shoulder at Gabriel.
Ash jumped up on Gabriel's back.
"You're it!" he shouted.
Castiel sat next to Dean.
"Here Cass," Dean said as he handed Castiel a shovel. "I saved the green one just for you."
"Thank you Dean," Castiel said. "Did Lisa find anything interesting?"
"Don't know, don't care," he said as he reached over to Sam and took his shovel out of his mouth again.
Castiel smiled and started to dig.
