Eeyore

Dean felt like crap, this was his entire fault since he let Ashley roll away from him and for some reason she wouldn't wake up. Ashley was thrashing around in the bed for a couple minutes, and then she suddenly stopped as if someone had held her down. That darkness she was talking about must have finally swallowed her.

"How she doing?" Sam said walking in the spare room where they had moved Ashley.

"Nothing's changed" Dean said after clearing his throat.

"Well I got some dream root, but only enough for one dose."

Dean knew it was suicide to go into another's head alone, but leaving Ashley the way she was was out of the question.

"Hand it over" Dean said standing up and holding out his hand for the Mason jar filled with the yellow-ish fluid.

"Dean" Sam warned before is brother snatched the Mason jar from his large brother.

"I let this happen to her!" Dean barked. It was clear Sam would be on body watch while Dean dove into their baby sister's subconscious. Pulling only a few hairs from his sister's head, Dean sat down on the edge of the arm chair and drank the serving of the gross tea.

All Dean saw was darkness and wrecked cars, including the Impala. "Ash" he called out as he stepped onto the dirt road under the rusty metal sign telling him he was at Bobby's.

"Ash, where the hell-."

"Dean?" she sat up from the velvet couch, her leg was wrapped in white plaster and elevated "What are you-wait, you're okay? Where's Sam and Dad?" That's when Dean understood where he was in Ashley's dreams- the accident that landed him in a coma. "Ash, I'm in your head. You didn't wake up yesterday, so come on let's get goin'."

"How Dean?"

"Figure out how to fuck up that black cloud hanging over head, Eeyore."

"Fine, I'm kinda held up here" she said gesturing to her broken leg.

"That's not real, only in your head Ash" he pleaded with his sister.

"Right" she said, standing up and watched as the plaster vanished into dust "now, do you know what that is?" she said gesturing up to the dark cloud over head.

"No clue, do you?" Dean asked, already knowing the answer.

"Yeah, it's my memories" she said looking down at the floor like an embarrassed child.

"Alright, so we face them and shoo the cloud away" Dean stepping up closer to his younger sister.

"Well, this is the first one."

Dean looked around and saw she was alone, Sam hadn't even come back to check on her, good thing it was her left leg so she could still be self-sufficient. "Hey at least you can still, uh drive" Dean said looking on the bright side, hoping that would clear this up for her.

"That's you Dean, not me! I just wanted my family back, hunting and happy." Dean understood the four Winchesters were fighting together again, but then a damn demon crashed their life and turned it to hell.

"So what, you wanted me to die?"

"No, I just- this is when everything changed and you got into your head you had to die for us!"

Dean was shocked, how could he not have seen that coming! This is when Ashley was shoved aside and put on the back burner. "Ash, I would have done it for you too, you know that." Dean said passing a hand though his short hair, and that's when a small bit of light shown through that dark cloud. Ashley's face lit up along with the room, how did she not know that?

Dean blinked back the tears and saw Ashley standing up in a towel in the bathroom with a razor in her hands "Ash, come on" Dean said walking straight towards his sister.

"No Dean, you left me as soon as Sammy died, then he goes and leaves once you jumped in!"

"So no need to leave us" Dean said putting his hand on top of hers "we'd go at each other's throats without you, you're our level-headed rock Ash!" The bathroom instantly lit up and disappeared from under Dean's feet, he was now standing in his garage back as Lisa and Ben's. "The hell Ash?" he yelled walking back towards his pickup truck parked in the driveway when he saw an old '69 Mustang parked down the street. Dean started right to it, and wasn't surprised when the door opened and his sister stepped out, actually looking like a woman. for once in her life. She was dressed in a pair of tight black jeans that showed off her hips and a tan breezy top that was see through around her stomach and back and accentuated her large chest she usually shoved into a sports bra.

"Heh, tap down into your feminine roots there Killer?"

"I was thinking about stopping by, but thought you'd just kick me out" she said looking down at her nude heels that gave her an extra 5 inches in height. The only time she wore heels anymore was when she was either picking up a guy at some bar or pretending to look like a stuck-up fed.

"Lisa and Ben both want to meet you ya' know. Ever since Sam and I helped her out with the Changeling and you stayed home because you were pissed at Sam and I" Dean said admiring how much she looked like Mom standing in front of him.

"Really?"

"Yeah, come on Killer, it's almost dinner time" Dean said ushering her inside and watching how she expertly walked up the drive way in her high heels; he never knew she had the poise to walk in those things that well, he never actually took the time to look at his sister like he did now. The cloud had cleared and before the door closed, Dean felt himself wake up.

"Dean, Ash" Sam said happy to see both his siblings awake.

"Sammy" Ashley said sitting up in the bed.

"Hey Little One" he said standing up to give her a hug "what happened in there?"

"Dean'll tell you later, I just need to get some air" she said standing up with Sam's help. Sam waited until Ashley was long gone before he turned to Dean with his signature the hell face.

"We really screwed up Sammy" Dean said putting his pounding head into his sweaty hands.

"Well guess we seriously need to fix things" he said walking out to the living room.
