Dean-24

Kate-15

Kate opened the door and walked outside with Dean following right behind. She threw both of her arms up in the air and screamed, "Ohio is the best!"

A guy nearby in the parking lot overheard her and yelled back, "Damn straight!" Kate turned to him and gave him a thumbs up.

Dean came up behind her and started pushing her along towards the car. "Will you please stop?" He begged in a low, harsh voice because he was becoming embarrassed by her outbursts.

"I don't even care who hears me! I love you, O-hi-ooooo!" She skipped the rest of the way over to the Impala and sat down in the driver's seat, one of the many benefits of Dean never locking the car. Dean bent down and gave her his infamous 'what the hell are you doing' look. "Dean, you see this?" She held up a small, plastic card right in his face. Dean took a step back as he pushed it out of his face.

"Yeah, it's a driver's permit. Meaning someone has to permit you to drive. And guess what? I'm not letting you drive." Dean protectively put his hand on the hood of the car.

"But I passed the test with flying colors!" Kate said as she crossed her arms.

"Written test. There was no actual driving involved." He motioned for her to scoot over to the passenger's seat. She let out an audible grunt and reluctantly moved over, knowing Dean wasn't changing his mind.

"But the law says I have to eventually practice!" Kate complained.

"I'll let you know when eventually is here." Dean started up the car and pulled out of the lot and onto the road.

"You taught Sam how to drive right away. It's not fair," she said as she turned her gaze out the window. She didn't really mean to throw that in Dean's face, but he had really been a buzz kill for her right now.

"If you quit your bitching, we can start this weekend." Dean knew he was going to regret this.

"Really?" Kate turned to him. Dean took a deep breath.

"Yeah, but we do it my way. Got it?" He quickly looked over at her, showing he was serious.

"Totally!" She smiled as she looked down at her driver's permit, proud that her picture turned out halfway decent. She couldn't wait to drive!

The Next Day...

"You ready?" Dean asked as he held up the car keys. Kate's face instantly lit up. She had tried not to bug Dean about it all day, not wanting to piss him off. Thankfully he stuck to his word and she was finally going to learn to drive, in the Impala no less! She walked over and went to grab the keys from him, but Dean quickly pulled them away. "Not just yet." He turned around and walked outside to the car. A baffled Kate followed behind him. Dean got in the passenger's seat and took a moment to adjust to his new surroundings. He didn't like the view from this side of the car. It just wasn't right. He grunted in annoyance as Kate slid into the driver's seat, her face still plastered with a smile.

"Let's get this show on the road," she joked as she looked at Dean.

"First things first. Rule 1: This ain't no hot wheels car. She's not here for you to play with. So do her no harm. Rule 2: You treat her with respect and she'll give it back to you," he began. Kate rolled her eyes. This wasn't the first time she'd heard this speech. "And Rule 3: She doesn't like attitude so check it at the door." Dean glared at Kate out of the corner of his eye as he affectionately patted the dashboard.

"Got it. No play. All respect. Zero attitude." She held out her hand for the keys. Dean stared her like she had just tried to offer him some fruit.

"You think I'm going to hand over the keys on the first day? You're even stupider than you look sometimes. No, we are doing this my way." Dean gently placed the keys in his coat pocket. Kate opened her mouth to argue, but instantly closed it, realizing it was best not to argue with the boss.

"Oh wise one, please teach me your ways, so I may one day become such a great, upstanding, law-abiding, driving citizen like you," Katie said as she bowed her head down at him, laughing, which earned her a smack on the back of her head from Dean.

She rubbed her head as he began to speak. "Okay, I want you to tell me what every knob and button and lever does." He gestured towards the dashboard and steering wheel.

Kate began, "Well, this pedal is for 'speed up, we're late'," she motioned toward the gas pedal. "And this one is the 'oh crap, a cop' pedal." She pointed to the brake. Dean gave her another one of his infamous 'knock it off' looks. Kate took a deep breath and began again. She went over what every pedal and lever did. Gas, brake, windshield wipers, turn signals…the whole works. Finally she thought she had covered everything.

"And these?" Dean nodded towards the radio.

"Well this is the 'on' button and this one cranks the volume up and—," Kate was cut off.

"No. These buttons mean nothing to you. Off limits. I don't need you Mmm-bopping your way down the road and right into a tree." Kate let a little laugh escape, but instantly muffled it with a fake cough when Dean glared at her. He was taking all this way too far. They had almost spent an hour going over all of this stuff and she was getting perturbed. Kate just nodded her head, waiting for him to continue. Dean checked his watch. "Okay, well that's enough learning for today." He started to open the door.

"What?! Dean, come on!" Kate complained as she grabbed on to his arm so he couldn't get out.

"Hey, you said you were okay with doing this my way. I'm not going to hand over my baby to a stranger on the first day. Gotta earn our trust," Dean explained as he glanced around the car, emphasizing just what he meant by 'our'.

First, Kate couldn't believe she had went over all this stuff to not even get to drive today. And second, she was becoming severely concerned about Dean's mental health. He just referred to himself and the car as an entity together. She let go of his arm and went to smack her hands down on the steering wheel in frustration, but stopped just inches from making contact, realizing Dean would use that against her. She got out of the car, making sure to gingerly shut the door and then stomped off into the hotel room like a 5 year old throwing a tantrum.

The next day of 'driving lessons' consisted of Kate reviewing everything again and then being quizzed by Dean.

"What do you do if your cell phone rings?" Dean questioned as he looked at her from the passenger's seat where he was sitting.

"Pull over safely and then answer it," she answered, knowing what he wanted to hear. She knew all of the correct answers because they were exactly the opposite of what Dean would do in any given situation.

"Good. What do you do when you have to pull the car over?" he quizzed.

"Put the flashers on." She smiled at herself, proud she had thought of the answer. She had never seen the Impala with the flashers on, but she assumed they had to be there somewhere.

"Okay. Now what do you do if you are sliding on some ice?" Dean asked as he raised his eyebrows.

Kate paused and she tried to think of an answer. "Turn the wheel in the other direction to steer it back to normal." She didn't have much confidence in her answer.

Dean shook his head. "No! You turn the wheel in the direction you are sliding. Otherwise you over-correct and you end up in a ditch and then you'll have broken just about every rule we've went over."

She looked at Dean confused. "Dean, how do you even know that? I'm not even sure you've really ever driven on an ice-covered road." She paused as her eyes looked up in thought about what she said. "Actually, come to think of it. How have we managed to bypass all of the snow and ice? I mean we drive around the Midwest all the time. Kinda snow central."

Dean paused also as he thought about her question. Not able to come up with a reasonable answer, he just shrugged his shoulder and moved on to the next question. After about 10 more, he called it a day and Kate once again stomped her way back into the hotel. She had high hopes for this lesson, only to be let down again.

On day three, they both got into the car and Dean reluctantly handed the keys over to her. Kate squealed in excitement as she put them into the ignition and started the car. She put her foot on the brake and went to put the car into reverse, but Dean reached over and grabbed her hand before she could. "What are you doing?!" Concern clear in his voice.

"I was just putting it into reverse, Dean. Not like I can go forward!" She gestured toward the building in front of them.

"Yeah, well I never said to do any of that. You're not moving the car today. I just want you to get a feel for the purr of the engine," Dean explained as he moved his hand away from her.

"I grew up in this freaking car! I think I know what the engine sounds like," Kate said, annoyed. She tried to have patience with him, but it was quickly wearing thin.

"Well you didn't grow up in the driver's seat. So it sounds and feels different there." Dean held up his hand as if to quiet her so they could both listen to the sounds. Kate threw herself back in the seat and crossed her arms. She knew Dean was insane about his car, but she never knew he was certifiably insane. She mentally kicked herself for not waiting for her dad to get back and have him teach her. She shook her head. No, John would probably be much worse. Sure Dean took things at snails pace, but at least he wasn't yelling at her as she was sure John would.

Dean noticed how frustrated Kate got with him. He sighed. This wasn't easy. He wasn't ready for her to drive his car, especially because there was no emergency passenger break installed for his safety. But she had been patient with him for 3 days now, putting up with his nonsense with little complaint. "Fine. Tomorrow you can drive." Her eyes instantly lit up. "But just in the parking lot, okay?" He wanted to make sure he clarified. There would be no driving on the road until she was well overprepared.

Kate excitedly shook her head as she turned off the engine. She handed Dean the keys as she leaned over and gave him a hug. "Thanks!" she said.

Dean half hugged her back before he gently pushed her away. "Okay. Rule 4? No chick flick moments in the car." He shook his shoulders and arms, as if trying to get rid of some imaginary dirt and got out of the car. Kate watched and quietly laughed at her brother. Sure, he was 7 gallons of crazy, but she wouldn't trade him for anyone else.

A/N: The part about the snow was something ispiltthemilk and I have noticed in spn...8 seasons and we have never actually seen Dean drive in the snow, even though they are supposedly driving all over the snowiest parts of America. So I had to poke some fun at that :)
