Dean's POV

She's hot. That's really all I can say. That was the first thing I noticed. I mean damn! Girl has got body karate going on! She does seem a little bitchy though. Almost standoffish. But hey, what the hell do I have to worry about? I'm Dean Winchester. I could get the most faithful nun...well, if she was hot.

And man can this girl sing. Last time I heard vocal cords like that I was at a Pat Benatar concert. (Don't ask why I was there.) Anyway when I met Lauren she acted like she liked to have fun, so I'm takin' her to a theme park. A little lame. Yes. A little cliche. Yes. I'll admit to that. But from my experience girls like slightly lame and cliche.

Her car was sexy as hell. That was probably the best lookin' Chevelle I had ever seen in my life. And the fact she knew the year and model of my baby only added to the hotness. She was beautiful. Her brown hair gleaming in the hot sun. Tight, trim body in a camo tank-top, and cutoff shorts. And her eyes. Clear as a Kansas morning blue. Damn.

I put the car in park and heard her scoff:

"Are you serious?" She asked. I grinned.

"Yeah."

"This was the last place I figured you'd take me." She said.

"Oh you'll find out later that I'm just full of surprises." I said, laying that Winchester charm on thick. She didn't seem to be fazed.

"Yeah uh-huh." She opened the door of my car and walked out. I laughed. I like a challenge.

Sam was chillin' out a few counties over. After a few hellish weeks of non-stop hunting he needed a break, well, he said he wanted one from me anyway.

I got out of the car and followed her. Many people goin' past her stopped and looked back, mostly guys. I felt that surge of jealousy as the angry monster in my gut reared its ugly head. I clenched my jaw and toned it down.

"Are you comin' or do you enjoy walking so damn slow?" She shouted. I jogged to catch up.

"I was just admiring the view." I said grinning. She walked faster, scowl on her face.

C'mon Dean don't blow this. I smiled. Time to take a different tactic. I jogged up to her again. "Look Lauren I'm sorry." I said, stepping in front of her. "If that offended you I'm sorry." She got an "as if" look on her face and continued walking.

"Yeah right." She huffed.

"Hey I said I was sorry. What do you want from me?" I asked. She stopped and turned.

"Look Dean I don't like macho fasods. I don't like cheeky comments about my body and I don't like guys bein' as cocky as you are when they're just tryin' to hide who they really are." She said. My brows raised. She'd caught me. Dead on.

"Wow, I-I'm sorry." I said. She sighed.

"If the rest of the day is gonna go like this, tell me now and I'll leave." I shook my head. I didn't want her to leave. There was something about her that I liked. A lot. I didn't know what it was, but her leaving was the last thing I wanted her to do. So I shook my head. "Good." She smiled. I melted.

Lauren's POV

He was a man of his word. The day was nothing like the first ten minutes. He was actually pretty sweet.

"So how long have you been hunting?" He asked me, right after we got off the craziest roller coaster I have ever been on.

"Since I was six so that would be...about eighteen years." I shrugged. He smiled.

"That, that's awesome." He said. I tried not to blush.

"Thanks." I said. "How about you?" I asked.

"I've only been doing it since I was nine." He said. I nodded.

"That's awesome."I said. He laughed softly. We glanced around at the various stores and restaurants. Man was I starving.

"Hungry?" He asked. Huh, must read minds. I nodded.

"How could you tell?" I asked.

"I could hear your stomach growling from over here." He said, a soft smile playing on his lips. I laughed, so did he. He held up a finger, gesturing me to wait a second and walked over to a food stand. A few minutes later he came back with two plastic baskets full of burgers and fries.

"Bon appetite." He grinned. I smiled. He handed me one of the baskets and we sat down on the curb of the walkway. "We can go get a table if you want." He said, mouth full. I shook my head and wiped ketchup off of my chin.

"No, I like this. Tables are too high maintenance." I said. He laughed. We sat on the curb and watched the darkening sky. "This was fun."

"Yeah," He nodded. "I guess it was." He looked around and glanced over his shoulder, his eyes lit up and he grinned. "Now there's my game." He said, standing. I followed suit. He started walking toward one of those "test your strength" games. I rolled my eyes.

"If you're trying to prove something you don't have to." I said. He shook his head and handed me his food basket.

"What kind of guy would I be if I took a girl to an amusement park and didn't win her some giant cheap stuffed animal?" He said. I giggled. He paid the guy running the stand and walked over to the game. He grabbed the mallet, twirled it, and smiled at me. I smiled again. He raised it above his head and swung it down as hard as he could. I bit my lower lip watching his muscles move. The metal bar sprang up and struck the bell with a loud clang. I gasped and laughed.

"You are the only guy I've ever seen do that ever." I said. He shrugged and smiled. He walked back over to the stand, pointed and grabbed something small and skinny from the guy running it. He walked over to me and handed me a plastic red rose. I grinned. "Plastic?" I said.

"Real ones die. This one lasts forever." He smiled. I laughed.

"Do you know how cheesy you just sounded?" I asked.

"Yeah I do." He giggled. "Hey the park's closing soon." He said.

"We can go." I said, even though I really didn't want to.

Dean's POV

We got to her apartment about forty-five minutes later. I walked her to her door, daring to grasp her hand. Surprisingly she took mine and didn't push me away.

"I had a good time." She said. I nodded.

"Yeah me too." I said. She turned her doorknob, but still was facing me.

Is she gonna let me kiss her? I leaned forward but she dodged me. Dammit. She shook her head.

"Not on the first date baby." She said. I shrugged. She smiled. She kissed two of her fingers and pushed them to my lips. I laughed.

"Gee thanks." I said. She smiled again. "So, can we do this again sometime?" She shrugged.

"Maybe." She said. The faint scent of her perfume encircled me. "Good night." She said.

"Good night." She slipped into her apartment. I sighed and walked back outside. I wasn't going back to the motel room with Sam. I was going back to the amusement park. But I wasn't worried about the hunt ahead. I wasn't worried about anything. I was replaying her calling me baby over and over again in my head.
