A/N: This one was mostly bunnied up by the birthday girl herself, masterful banterer slash drool-inducing h/c-er slash scary-sounding driver PADavis, with one element bunnied in by rei17. Happy birthday, Phoebe! And guys, Sam's turn's definitely coming. E/O Challenge, prompt: "dry."


"Hah-CHCHHghk!"

Adrenaline spreads bright down Sam's chest as the Impala swerves - again. "Dude..."

Blank-faced, Dean sniffs, moseys them back over the dotted line. Sam eyes him.

"You totally caught that kid's cold."

"What? N... uh-CHHHOOF! AGHHH-huh!"

They jerk over a lane and a half. A car honks. Sam's mouth's dry.

"Dean, maybe-"

Dean grimaces ominously, does a shoulder check, and sucks in a cyclonic breath. Sam can't watch.

"ASSHHSHSHoo!" - tires squeal - "KGHGHGGFFF!" - gravel rumbles - "Ack-HOOOOO!"

When the dust settles, a cow's gazing in at them.

Dean takes a napkin from his pocket, meekly blows his nose.

"I'm driving," Sam announces.
