Dean-20

Sam-16

Kate-13

Sam and Kate met up outside the main doors of the school like they did every day. Kate closed her eyes and turned her head upwards attempting to take in the warmth of the spring sun. Being inside all day made her appreciate the simple things in life, like natural light. Sam scanned the parking lot for the Impala and thankfully found it - he hated waiting. "Come on," he said as he pulled on her arm, ruining her sun happiness. He took off walking and Kate had to practically jog to keep up with his gigantic strides. Once they got over to the car, Sam got in the front seat and Kate in the back, as was their usual routine.

Sam groaned as soon as he heard the music blaring. "Ugh, dude we were just listening to this song on the way to school!" Sam said as he reached over to eject the cassette tape, but Dean beat him there and smacked his hand.

"Sammy, they are called classics for a reason. It means they're here to stay," Dean replied grinning as he put the car in gear and started their short drive back to their latest 'home.' Sam rolled his eyes and turned to look out the window.

Meanwhile, Kate played with the zipper on her backpack while she worked up the courage to ask a question. After Dean shut down their brother, she took that as her opportunity. "Dean, can we stop by CVS on the way home?" Kate piped up from the backseat.

Dean suddenly shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "Uh…yeah. Sure."

Katie smiled to herself. "Could he get any more awkward?" she thought. Ever since Kate had "become a woman" a while back, Dean got weird every time she brought up needing to go to the store. So much so that in order to avoid any conversation remotely related to "it", he gave Kate $5 each week for "you know, girl stuff" so she never had to ask for it. Kate wasn't about to tell him that this "stuff" didn't happen every week. She figured Dean's inability to handle awkward situations actually worked in her favor for a change.

She didn't think it was necessary to tell Dean to stop freaking out because she didn't need to get "girl stuff" this time. Watching him squirm was way more entertaining, and it meant that she didn't have to explain what she really wanted to get.

A few minutes later, they pulled into a CVS and Dean parked the car. He turned around and nodded his head towards the entrance with eyes pleading with her to just go already so they could all move on from this. Kate rolled her eyes, reached for her backpack, and got out without another word.

Once she was inside, she took a moment to look around and try to spot the section she wanted. "Score. Found it. Aisle 3," she thought as she headed that way. When she finally found what she was looking for, her eyes grew wide. Good grief. Why were there so many freaking options!? How many different sizes, colors and flavors did they really need? It was momentarily overwhelming, especially for someone who had never thought she'd purchase this.

She shifted her feet nervously and bit her lip as her eyes scanned up and down quickly, trying to find one she wanted as fast as possible so she could get out of there, but there were just too many options. She was hardly an expert in this department and there was no point to consult Sam or Dean about this. She absentmindedly reached into her pocket and felt the $5 bill there. "Ok, that helps," she thought as she began to narrow it down to the ones that fit her price range.

Finally she picked one and shuffled up to the counter to pay. "Will this be all?" asked the short, plump older lady with a fake smile plastered on her face.

Kate considered replying something sarcastic, but bit her tongue because she knew it was because she was nervous. She shifted nervously and replied quietly, "Yes, this is all." She included an even more fake smile for good measure.

"Okay, that'll be $4.27," the lady replied. Kate pulled out her crinkled $5 bill, gave it to her, and got her change. She grabbed the bag and quickly shoved it into her backpack as she walked back out into the parking lot. She slid into her seat, both her and Dean equally avoiding eye contact. Dean was already throwing the car in gear and practically peeling out of the parking lot to put this incident behind them. Kate smiled as she glanced out the window, thinking about using her purchase tomorrow. She'd never really cared about fitting in before, but junior high was a whole new world. She thought maybe this would make school more bearable for her these days because she'd stand a chance of having something in common with these girls.

The next morning was finally here and Kate was putting the final touches on getting ready in the bathroom.

"Katie, we're leaving now!" Dean yelled as he rapped on the bathroom door three times.

"Coming!" she hurriedly replied. She stared at herself in the mirror to take it all in for a moment. Normally she didn't ever consult a mirror. Heck, she didn't even look at her reflection on any surface before leaving. It was always wake up, throw on what was clean, pull the hair up, and walk out the door while still rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. But today was special. She was trying something new and was already liking the results that stared back at her. She had half of her brown, wavy hair pulled up and was wearing basically the only non-tshirt she owned with her jeans and black flats. With one last look in the mirror, she was satisfied.

She grabbed yesterday's purchase as she walked out of the bathroom and quickly went over to shove it in the outside pocket of her backpack, not picking up on Sam's suspicious glance from behind her. Although Sam was a trained hunter, it wasn't hard to pick up when his sister was doing something she didn't want them to notice.

"Any day now," Dean said as he made his way to the door. Kate picked up her backpack, trying to keep her head down as Sam followed behind her. Dean opened the door and looked back, waiting for his siblings to exit so he could lock up. But as Kate approached him, he caught a glimpse of something different - something strange. His eyes widened at his sister when he picked up on what it was. "Woah…What the hell?!" he nearly shouted.

Kate stopped dead in her tracks. She wasn't sure if that was supposed to be a question or just one of his exaggerated exclamations. "What?" She looked down at her clothes and shoes as if she had a stain, pretending that she had no idea what he was talking about.

"What is that?!" Dean exclaimed as he used the whole palm of his hand to motion at her face.

"What, this?" Kate asked, pointing at her lips.

"Yeah. That," Dean clarified.

"Oh..um..its nothing," Kate replied, suddenly feeling her cheeks begin to blush as she gazed down at the floor.

"Um, no. It's friggin shiny. Like I'm-staring-at-the-sun shiny," Dean replied, squinting to exaggerate his point.

"It's just lip stuff," Kate explained, suddenly feeling very self-conscious for the first time. This was why she'd never considered consulting them. They wouldn't understand the importance of sparkling lip gloss to a girl that's trying to fit in.

Kate didn't notice that Sam had reached into the side pocket of her backpack and pulled out her purchase. "She's right, Dean," he said as he held up the tube so Dean could see. "It's called 'me berry sparklin' treasure," Sam said in his best pirate voice. He started laughing and Dean couldn't help but to join in. As big brothers, it was their job to poke fun at their little sister when they could.

Kate turned around to Sam with a look of absolute horror. Wait, that was really the name? How could she have missed something like that?! She mentally kicked herself before she snapped out of it and returned to the task at hand. She felt her cheeks blush more, if that was even possible.

"Well…um…all the other girls wear this stuff and you always say we should try to blend in…so you know…whatever," Kate spat out in one breath trying to defend herself. She quickly reached out and harshly grabbed the tube from Sam's hand. "I thought we were late," Kate spat out, all of a sudden appearing to care what time they got to school. She threw a quick glare back at Sam and huffed as she walked past Dean and out to the Impala before they could make fun of her again.

Dean looked from Kate as she walked away over to Sam, who was still standing there chuckling. His eyes pleaded with Sam to give him some sort of brother-friendly translation of what just happened.

"Dude, I think your 'blend in rule' just blew up in your face." His hands made an explosion motion as he added sound effects. "And it's raining glitter," Sam said laughing as he walked past Dean.

"Shuddup, bitch," Dean said as he smacked the back of Sam's head.

"Jerk!" Sam yelled back over his shoulder.

Awesome. Fucking lip gloss. Just awesome. This was the last thing Dean had expected to deal with this morning as he locked up the door and took off towards the Impala. Growing up with a sister always left room for surprises, much to his despair, and unfortunately it was as sparkly as glitter lip gloss this time.
