I Know What You Did Last Summer Part 2

Six months ago, Sam was in the driver's seat of the Impala and Angela sat in the passenger's seat. Ruby sat in the back.

"You know what sounds good?" Ruby asked. "French fries. I'm starving. I just escaped Hell. I deserve a treat. You know, a 'thank you' would be nice."

"Who asked for your help?" Angela asked.

"You have no idea what I've been through." Ruby replied. "When Lilith gets pissed, she gets creative. You two want to hear about the corners of Hell I've seen?"

"No, we don't." Sam said.

"And the things I had to do to convince her I was sorry? That I could be trusted?"

"Well, this'll definitely get you a fat Christmas bonus." Angela remarked sarcastically.

"Very funny." Ruby sneered. "I'm a fugitive… for you two. I took all of this risk to get back to you, so, yeah, I deserve a damn 'thank you.'"

"Who asked you to save us?" Sam asked.

"I'm just trying to help."

"Can you help us save Dean?" Angela questioned.

"No. Nothing I know of is powerful enough to do that."

Sam stopped the car by the roadside. "Then we have no use for you."

"What?" Ruby frowned.

"Get out." Sam said.

"Sam." Ruby tried.

"Whose body are you riding, Ruby?" Sam asked.

"Why do you care? You've never asked me that before."

"He's asking now." Angela said.

"Some secretary."

"Let her go." Sam demanded.

"Sam…" Ruby said.

"Or we send you right back to Hell." Sam threatened.

~/~\~

Sam was cleaning a gun. Someone knocked on the door. Sam grabbed a shotgun and opened the door, revealing Ruby possessing a coma girl. She held up a piece of paper.

"Proof." She said. "This body is 100% socially conscious. I recycle. Al Gore would be proud."

"You grabbed a coma patient?" Sam asked.

"You didn't want me to take a body with someone in it, and I made sure that the spirit was gone. Apartment was empty. You happy?"

"Why are you here?"

"I can't bring Dean back. But I can get you something else that you want."

"And, uh… what's that?"

"Lilith."

"You want me to use my psychic whatever."

"Look, I know that it spooks you—

"Skip the speech. I'm ready. Let's go."

Ruby raised a brow. "Slow down there, cowboy. What about Angie? Is she okay with this?"

He shrugged. "Probably not. Just tell me what I have to do."

"Look, Lilith is one scary bitch. When I was in the Pit, there was talk. She's cooking up something big, apocalyptic big."

"So let's kill her."

"You want to go in there and half-ass like before?" Ruby asked. "We have the time to get it right. Let's get it right."

"Okay. What do you want from me?"

"Well, a little patience… and sobriety. Promise me that… and I will teach you everything I know."

~/~\~

Sam paused telling the story.

"So?" Dean asked. "What'd she teach you?"

"Well, the first thing I learned… I'm a crappy student." He said before resuming the story.

~/~\~

Sam was trying to exorcise a demon tied to a chair in a devil's trap, but couldn't. Some black smoke came out of the demon's mouth, but then it went back in. Sam held his head in pain. As the demon began to laugh, ruby killed him with her knife.

"Not funny." She said. "Just give it time, Sam. It'll get better."

"What? I need more practice?"

"I'm not talking about pulling demons. I know losing Dean was—

"Hey! I don't want to talk about it. You know what? Where do you get off slapping me with that greeting-card, time-heals crap? What the hell do you know?"

"I used to be human. And I still remember what it feels like to lose someone. I'm sorry." She put a hand on his shoulder.

"Uhn-huh." He nodded. "Don't. I can't."

"Sam, you're not alone." She whispered. She kissed him.

He stood up and walked away from her. "What are you doing?" he asked. "You know I'm with Angie!"

"Sam, it's okay!" Ruby replied. "She's not enough for you, and deep down you know it. If she was, she wouldn't be so scared of what's inside of her!"

"No, that is anything but okay!" he yelled at her. "And don't you dare say that stuff like you know her! You don't, okay?! None of what you just said is true."

"What's wrong?" Ruby asked.

"What's wrong? Where do I start?!" he snapped.

"I know you want more." She whispered. "And Angie isn't giving it to you. I can. So I know that's not what's bothering you." She added. "Is it because of the body? Because I told you, it's all me inside of here. There is no one else. And it's nice inside this body, Sam. Soft and warm."

"What are you doing?" he breathed.

"Isn't it 'cause you're really scared to go there with a demon?" she asked. "Because it's wrong and it's bad and we shouldn't?"

Ruby and Sam began to have sex.

~/~\~

"Sam?" Dean asked.

"Yeah?"

"Too much information." Dean replied. "And also, the nerve you have for cheating on Angie!" he snapped. "With Ruby of all people!" he yelled.

Sam swallowed thickly. "I know. But I told you I was coming clean." He whispered.

"Not completely." Angela glared.

"Angie, what d'you mean?" Dean frowned.

"He left out a part." She shrugged. "He left out the part where I walked in on him and Ruby after coming home from a supply run." She said.

Dean looked at Sam, about to say something, but Angela continued.

"You know how I told you a while back that I didn't tell you about Sam using his psychic stuff and Ruby because I found out under bad circumstances? Well, these are the bad circumstances." She added. "Anyway, I gave Sam a week, a week to stop seeing Ruby, and he chose to continue seeing her, so I left."

Sam looked down at his shoes, swallowing thickly.

She sighed. "But, I can't say I'm surprised that he cheated on me with Ruby." Angela said.

Sam's head shot up. "Wait… what?" he breathed.

"You two remember Jeremy, yeah? With the African Dream Root?" she raised a brow. The brothers nodded. "Well, when he sent us into that dream land or whatever, I lied about where I had been. I had actually been in this room, where I saw this dream version of myself."

"What'd she say to you?" Dean asked.

"Well, she told me that Sam wouldn't stay with me if Ruby was around, and the only way I could maybe keep him with me was to side with him and Ruby." Angela replied. "And who knows if that would have even worked. Anyway, she was right. I wasn't enough for Sam, I was slowing him down." She shrugged. "And I should have listened; I should have just ended our relationship to save myself from the heartbreak."

Sam looked at her sadly. "Angie—he started.

"Just, I don't want to hear it okay?" she replied. "I don't want another apology. I just wish you'd have the balls to tell your damn story correctly."

Dean nodded and looked at Sam. "Okay, well, uh, brain-stabbing imagery aside… so far, all you've told us about Ruby is she's a manipulative bitch who uh, screwed you, played mind games with you, convinced you to cheat on Angela, which I should whoop your ass for by the way, and did everything in the book to get you to go bad."

"Yeah, well, there's more to the story." Sam said.

"Just… skip the nudity, please. For mine and Angie's sake."

"Pretty soon after that, um… I put together some signs… omens." Sam said.

"Saying what?" Dean asked.

"Lilith was in town. And I wanted to strike her first."

~/~\~

Five months earlier, Sam and Ruby were talking in the abandoned house.

"You're not ready yet." Ruby said.

"It's now or never."

"No, we got to wait until you get it right. You haven't been too successful."

"All right, I'll use this." Sam replied.

"Stop." Ruby said. "You can't just fly in there reckless, Sam. We need you to take the bitch out."

"Oh, I'll take her out all right."

"You got one shot, and you're it. You're the only one who can do it, Sam. So if she kills you first…"

"What?"

"You don't want to survive this." Ruby said.

"Come on."

"It's a kamikaze attack. You want to die fighting Lilith."

"That's stupid."

"No, it's the truth, because if you kill her and you survive this, then you have to go on without your brother and Angie too! This isn't what they would have wanted. This isn't what Dean died for."

Ruby tried to stop him, getting in his way in front of the door.

"Get out of my way." He growled.

"No, Sam. This is suicide!"

Sam put Ruby aside with her knife on her throat and walked out through the door.

~/~\~

Sam saw a little girl in a house, who was sitting in a table full of cakes and candies.

~/~\~

Sam snuck into the house with Ruby's knife ready to kill Lilith.

"Please, I want to go home." The girl said.

Two demons attacked Sam from behind and Sam lost the knife.

"Lilith sends her regrets. She couldn't make it." The demon said.

Ruby took the knife from the floor and killed one of the demons.

"Take the girl and run!"

The demon beat Ruby and she lost the knife.

"Ruby, you're in so much trouble." The demon smirked. "When we get you down in the basement, the things we're gonna do to you."

Sam came back and exorcised the demon with his mind.

"Sam."

"I'm okay. Thanks."

~/~\~

Sam finished his story.

"Ruby came back for me." He said. "Whatever you have to say, she saved me. More than that, she got through to me. What she said to me… it's what you would have said. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here."

Angela looked at the ground, trying to mask the hurt that crossed her face. She hadn't been enough for Sam. She wasn't enough to get through to him. She closed her eyes tightly and let out a shaky breath.

Dean looked at Angela, knowing she was feeling upset. He sighed.

"Housekeeping." A maid said.

"Not now!" Dean yelled.

"Sir, I've got towels."

Dean opened the door and the maid entered. "Couldn't you just leave 'em at the door?"

"I'm at this address."

"I'm sorry." Sam said. "What?"

"Go now. Go through the bathroom window, don't stop, don't take your car, don't pass go. There are demons in the hallway and in the parking lot."

"Ruby?" Sam asked.

"Okay, yes, so I'm possessing this maid for a hot minute. Sue me."

"What about—

"Coma girl? Slowly rotting on the floor back at the cabin with Anna, so I've got to hurry back. See you when you get there. Go!"

~/~\~

Before they left Dean pulled Angela aside.

"Hey, uh, after Sam said all that stuff about how Ruby got through to him and saved him, you uh, you looked pretty down." Dean said.

Angela shrugged. "It's no big deal."

"Yeah, yeah it is." He said. "Angie, don't keep it all in. Talk to me. Please."

She swallowed thickly. She had kept up such a tough facade lately. "It just hurts, y'know?" she asked. She ran a hand through her hair. "I couldn't be the one to help him and I was his damn girlfriend!" she laughed humorlessly. "I couldn't get him to stop drinking, I couldn't get him to stop trying to make deals, I couldn't save him, Dean!" tears clouded her vision. "I wasn't enough for him!"

Dean shook his head. "It's not your fault, Angie. It's not your fault." He assured. "For you to save him, he had to let you in. You can't save someone who doesn't wanna be saved."

"Then why did he let Ruby save him?" she whispered.

He shrugged and pulled her into a tight hug. "Who knows, Angie." He whispered. "Grief does things to people, but that doesn't make 'em right." He added. "But, I do know he still loves you. You just gotta give it time."

She nodded and pulled away. "Thanks, Dean."

~/~\~

They got to the cabin.

"Glad you could make it." Ruby said.

"Yeah, thanks." Sam replied.

"Anna, are you okay?" Angela asked.

"Yeah. I think so. Ruby's not like other demons. She saved my life."

"Yeah, I hear she does that." Dean replied. "I guess I… you know.

"What?" Ruby asked.

"I guess I owe you for… Sam. And I just wanted… you know…"

"Don't strain yourself."

"Okay, then. Is the moment over?" Dean asked. Ruby nodded. "Good, 'cause that was awkward."

Angela walked up to Ruby. "Yeah, uh… thanks for saving Sam. I'm glad someone could do it." She forced a small smile. It quickly disappeared. "Doesn't mean I like you though."

"Wouldn't dream of it." Ruby replied.

"Hey, Angela, you think it'd be safe to make a quick call, just to tell my parents I'm okay?" Anna asked. "They must be completely freaked."

"Uh…" Angela said.

"What?"

"Anna, um… your parents." Sam said.

"What about them?"

"Look, I'm sorry." Angela whispered.

"No, they're not…"

"Anna, I'm sorry." Angela repeated.

"Why is this happening to me?" Anna cried.

"I don't know." Sam said.

"They're coming."

"Back room." Dean said.

Sam took Anna to the back room, then came back.

"Where's the knife?" Ruby asked.

"Uh… about that…" Dean said.

"You're kidding."

"Hey, don't look at me." Dean defended.

"Thanks a lot." Sam said.

"Great. Just peachy. Impeccable timing guys, really."

The door rattled violently and burst open.

~/~\~

Castiel and Uriel entered.

"Please tell me you're here to help." Dean said. "We've been having demon issues all day."

"Well, I can see that." Uriel replied. "You want to explain why you have that stain in the room?"

"We're here for Anna." Castiel said.

"Here for her like… here for her?" Angela asked.

"Stop talking." Uriel demanded. "Giver her to us."

"Are you gonna help her?" Sam asked.

"No, she has to die." Castiel said.

A/N: Hey guys, hope you enjoyed the chapter! You know how back in 'Dream a Little Dream of Me' I said there'd be a really important scene that you'd have to try and remember?
