"Meg! Get up!" Meg groaned and rolled over, shoving her head underneath a pillow to drown out Ruby's shriek.

"Shut up." Meg's cousin let out an indignant huff and yanked at Meg's leg.

"Come onnnnn. You have to drive me today. Uncle Az said." Meg stuck her head out from her blanket nest and shot a bleary glare at the short, tan girl.

"I wish Az was an only child. Cousins are such a pain in the ass." Ruby rolled her eyes.

"You think I want to hang out with you? You're a cranky, bedheaded senior who somehow gets all the boys. Little sophomores like me are stuck in your shadow." Meg cackled as she pulled herself to her feet and ran a hairbrush through her messy locks.

"You got that right sugar." Ruby rolled her eyes.

"You're such a bitch." She commented fondly as Meg changed the previous day's shirt for a fresh, nearly identical one.

"Aw, you too sweetie." Ruby chucked a hairbrush at Meg, who deftly dodged it as she shimmied into a pair of black jeans.

"I hate you!" Ruby growled. Meg giggled and swiped on a coat of mascara.

"Nah, you're just jealous of how hot I am."

"I'm hot too!" Ruby protested

"Pfft. You're okay. Maybe."

"At least I have friends." Meg wrinkled her nose.

"I wouldn't exactly call Lilith and Kai 'friends'. They've stated on multiple occasions that they only want to stick with you becuase you scare the shit out of them."

"Okay. Then they're minions. That's more than you've got."

"I may not have minions, but you know what else I don't have?" Ruby leaned in.

"What?"

"My virginity." Meg whispered. "Unlike some people." She ducked just in time to avoid being smacked with a text book Ruby grabbed from the floor.

"Bitch!"

"Got it in one!" Meg chirped. "Come on, let's not be late." She strode out her door, a red-faced Ruby on her heels.

Constant displays of animosity were the way the Masters girls showed affection for each other. Despite their seemingly harsh words, Meg would probably go to hell for the annoying, smart, bothersome, pretty, sassy girl. Probably. No guarantees, though.


"Anna, it's time to depart for school." Castiel knocked gently on his sister's door.

"Just a minute." She responded. True to her word, in precisely 57 seconds Anna opened the door, her hair neatly brushed underneath a headband that exactly matched her dark blue sweater. Her khakis were... well, khakis, and her bookbag was plain and full. She smiled at him.

"Good morning."

"And a good morning to you as well."

After they collected their bagged lunches and inserted them into their bags, the two quietly got into Castiel's plain silver sedan and drove off to school.
