The Longest Day Chapter 2: At the Zoo
Disclaimer (Which I forgot in the first chapter ehe..): I do not own Dean or Sam Winchester, or Supernatural.
"Something the matter, Sam?" Dean asked as he tied his shoes.
"No, it's just great, Dean!" Sam snapped as he sat up in the bed.
It was the heat of the moment
"I'm gonna kill the members of Asia." Sam muttered.
"Come on, that's a bit harsh. This song is awesome!" Dean turned up the volume.
"Whatever, let's just get this day over with."
"Hey, you know what? I'm beat, and I don't really wanna go do this small fry job anyway, but can't we just do some... Normal stuff for once?" Dean said after his morning, gargling routine.
Sam cocked an eyebrow as he eyed his brother. "Are you drunk, Dean?"
"No! All I'm saying is that I wanna do something like everyone else does? Screw the demons, screw the contract, screw everything! I wanna go to the movies, go to a amusement park, whatever. Just something." Dean said as he sat down on the bed again.
"Alright.. I think I read something about the zoo they have here. Wanna go there?" Sam snorted at the thought of his brother at the zoo.
"The zoo? What am I? Five years old?" Dean glared at his brother, but then gave a toothy grin. "Hell yes I wanna go to the zoo!"
"Uh.. Right. Are you sure that you're not drunk?"
"Positive."
"Okay, breakfast?" Sam asked and turned to look at his brother, but Dean was already outside, excited about the trip.
"What's up with you, Dean?" Sam asked as he caught up with his brother. "You can't be this seriously excited about going to the zoo, there's gotta be something else."
"Dude, don't you know what you can always find at the zoo?" Dean said, smiling like a madman. "Women!"
"Uh... Don't they usually have a significant other and most likely kids too?"
"Doesn't matter. Me? I'm the most charming guy I know. They're gonna fall like Domino bricks for me, I just know it!"
"Sure dude, whatever keeps you alive throughout the day.." Sam muttered.
"What was that?"
"Nothing." Sam knew there was no point explaining the Groundhog Day/Looney Tunes loophole yet again, today he just wanted to relax and enjoy life until Dean gets shot by Hitler in the street or something equally unlikely.
"Hey, Sam? Why did you steal my car keys earlier?" Dean asked after a moment of silence.
"Believe me, you're not driving that car anywhere. I know what kind of driver you are and for the safety of me, you and others I took 'em. Look at it as a favor."
"You really are a freak today, bitch."
"You have no idea, jerk"
"See? I told you there would be women here! And look, they're just waiting for someone like me to come and pick 'em up." Dean declared as they finally got to the zoo and stood in line to buy their tickets.
"Apparently you've acquired yourself a problem with your sight. Most of the women here seem to have a boyfriend or be married already. Just drop the women thing and enjoy your childhood memories again, okay?"
"Childhood memories? Dude, I've never been to the zoo in my whole life! The closest thing I've gotten to wildlife is werewolves and wendigos."
"Close enough." Sam replied and pushed ahead of Dean to buy their tickets. The last thing he needed today was for his brother to pick up the young chick in the ticket booth. She would only get her heart broken, and Dean would most likely get an angry dad with a shotgun arsenal on his ass.
"So, where do you wanna go first, Dean? Wanna see the monkeys, the big cats, cute little furry animals, elephan-"
"Don't they have a bar around here?" Dean interruped Sam as he read through the pamphlet they had gotten at the ticket booth.
"This is a zoo, Dean. This is a place for family and children."
"Yeah, so, by any logic there should be a bar around here somewhere, it's only natural to have a few beers now and then when you've got a whiny brat with you wherever you go."
Sam sighed and rolled his eyes. "Lets go to the monkeys first, it's the closest."
"Whatever, Sammy, I still say we should hit up the bar though."
"Dean, there's not a bar on this property, okay?"
"Fine." Dean gave up and followed his brother.
"Look at that. Damn, I am so jealous. I wish I could do something like that." Dean said to his brother as he watched two monkeys getting it on in a rather interesting position.
"You're sick, you know that?"
"I'm not sick, I'm awesome."
"Not according to the rest of the world, Dean."
"Oh shut it, you're just jealous. Come on, let's go check out the reptiles or something."
"Nah, let's get something to eat and some coffee first."
"I like the way you think, Sammy." Dean said, grinning as they started walking towards the nearest restaurant.
"Ooh, look at this. Bacon cheeseburger, with a side of bacon and fries. This is the closest thing to heaven I'm ever gonna come, Sam."
"Like I said, your ateries are gonna blow up, Dean."
"When did you say that? I don't remember that."
"Uh.. Nevermind, Dean. Let's just order, okay?"
They gave the orders to the waitress, who seemed a bit too engulfed in Dean, who took more than notice to this.
Sam rolled his eyes and pretended to gag behind the waitress' back. Dean shot him a glare.
"Sam, don't be such a child." He said as soon as the young waitress had disappeared.
"What? Do you really have to have sex with every woman you see?"
"I do not have sex with every woman that I see!" Dean shot back, giving an intense glare.
"Oh really?" Sam was amused, he loved jerking around his brother like this. "Give me one example, Dean."
Dean scoffed and then grinned after a few moments of thinking. "Bela." He said matter-of-factly.
"Dude, you would have done her a long time ago if she wouldn't have been such a thieving bitch and you know it."
"Oh really? I guess you would have too then."
Sam blushed and was about to shoot off another insulting comment when the waitress appeared by Dean's side.
"Hey cutie, do you mind if I give you my number?" She was blushing furiously and was looking everywhere except at Dean. Clearly this was the first time she had done anything like this.
"Well, of course, sweetheart. I'd love to have your number!" He grinned and gladly took the note she gave him.
"Great. Your food will be out in a minute. And I get off at seven tonight." She gave Dean a sly wink, turned around and looked at Sam. Giving him a sour look she skipped off to do some daydreaming about the wonderful man she'd just met.
"Dude, she was totally in to me." Dean declared proudly.
"Well, no shit Sherlock, I mean, she looked like the type who likes a slut." Sam snorted.
"I am not a slut and you know it!"
"Whatever." Sam smiled, he was happy to have something else to think about, rather than waiting tensely for the moment where his brother dies in yet another freak accident. He was feeling relaxed, very relaxed indeed.
"Alright, chief, lets go to that reptile house and after that, a bar." Dean said as they exited the restaurant, bellies full of food and with a happy mood.
"Fine, if that will make you happy." Sam said. If there was anywhere Dean was gonna die today, it would most likely be in a bar of all places, he thought as they made their way to the reptile house, bickering in a joking way that only they knew how to do.
"Bitch!"
"Jerk!"
"Don't listen to those men, Tommy! They're not nice men." A mother said to her son as they passed.
"Aw come on lady! We're very nice, especially me! I'm an angel, really." Dean shouted after her, looking a bit like a puppy that had just been given the boot.
Sam laughed and slapped his brother on the back. "That's how you pick up women, eh? It wasn't enough with that horny waitress huh?"
"Shut up, Sam."
They went through the different rooms filled with lizards, snakes and other reptiles.
"Hey look at this one!" Dean exclaimed and pointed to a terrarium with a black widow in it.
"Shit that's awesome, thought I'd never see one up close." Sam said as he leaned closer to get a better look.
"Weird."
"What?"
"It says here," Dean pointed to a small sign. "That there's supposed to be two of 'em in here, but I can only see one."
Sam shrugged. "Doesn't have to mean anything, it could just be hiding, you know."
"You're right. Let's go look at the snapper turtles!"
"Jeeze, you're like a little boy in here, you know that?"
"Come on, I'm surrounded by awesome, poisonous reptiles. Why wouldn't I be happy?"
"You're a freak, Dean."
"A very happy one, Sammy." Dean turned around to look at one of the snakes. "Look at this fella 'ere!" He said, mimicking Steve Irwin.
"Whoa a black mamba. These things are deadly as hell. Its venom can kill a man between twenty and sixty minutes."
"Wow, you really do enjoy research instead of having sex."
"It says so right here on the sign, dude!"
"Whatever." Dean said as grinned. Sam scoffed and walked over to another terrarium, leaving Dean and his insults alone.
He was intensely watching the small lizard when all of a sudden he heard Dean scream. He whipped around only to see his brother clutch his wrist and yelp in pain.
"What the hell happened, Dean?" He rushed over to his brother.
"It bit me!" Dean shouted, looking alarmed at the snake.
"What the.. How could it bite you? It's contained in this terrarium!" Sam said, struggling to get a look at the bite on his brothers wrist.
"I don't know! It just got out!"
"Can someone get some antivenom for him?" Sam shouted at a few employees that had come running, wondering what the ruckus was about.
"Shit.. We don't have any.." One of the employees, a young man, said.
Sam just stared at him, mouth hanging open. "Are you shitting me? You have a large collection of poisonous reptiles, just waiting to take a bite out of my brother here it seems, and you don't have any antivenom!"
The employees didn't know what to say, but realized that it was probably for the best to shut up anyway.
"Dean, you're a stupid ass, you know that?"
"Oh, just insult the guy who just got bitten by a freaking black mamba, will you? What are we supposed to do about this huh?"
"I don't know."
"Where is Steve Irwin when you need him? Shit I need to sit down, I'm getting dizzy as hell here.." Dean fell to the floor and slumped against the wall.
The poison was kicking in and at a very alarming rate at that.
"Dean, don't worry, we'll get you through this. I promise, everything will be fine." Sam kept on blabbering, trying to keep Dean conscious. Suddenly he realized that his brother had stopped responding and had shut his eyes.
Sam sighed and leaned against his brother.
It was the heat of the moment
"Rise and shine, Sammy!"
Sam, without opening his eyes, threw his pillow at Dean.
There you have it! It's a bit longer than the first chapter, which I hope none of you mind. Third chapter will be up as soon as I get a nice idea. And if you have any suggestions, don't be afraid to give me 'em ;) Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
