Log;

After the prank he'd pulled earlier, Sam thought Dean might need a break. He also thought it might be prudent not to be home when Dean got there. So Sam staked out a favorite bar of Dean's, called some of his friends, and left a note.

Dean--

Hey, didn't feel like cooking so I went out. Meet me at [some bar, come on Dean, it's your favorite! they have tater tots], okay? I have something to tell you. Sam

There was a chance Dean wouldn't come, but it was a bar, and the house would be quiet and lonely, and Sam was pretty sure he'd come. In the meantime, he savored the thought of the day Dean must have had...

"We are like the same person only I always knew and only when another apocalypse was upon us did my sister decide I needed and deserved to know how to fight since normal was obviously not in the cards for me. Also, you're a boy and I'm a girl... so there's that difference in the same person idea too."

Wooo! Dawn ramble of weirdness. She can understand the needing to get out too. That was why she had tried to go to Berkeley, tried to get an education, tried to do some normal things before the supernatural sucked her back in. And even now that the crisis was averted she wanted to try normal again even knowing that eventually she'd get sucked back in. Stubborn little bb!Summers.

"So are you doing that now? Following in his footsteps? Cause sometimes trying to follow in someones footsteps can be all stress-inducing. Cause it doesn't always leave a lot of room to be you. And you've got to be you sometimes or you forget who you are... inside. And that leads to the badness of the doing things you wouldn't normally do kind. And that leads to regret and guilt and... you get the point."

She picks up one of the brownies and offers it to him. "Brownie?"

Sam had gone from amused by her "same person" theory through uncertain through feeling she knows a little too much. He takes the brownie and takes too large a bite, giving himself time.

He has followed on John's footsteps. Right down to losing the women he loved, in the same way, and falling into the same need for revenge. He hardly ever questioned who he was anymore--what he questioned now was his insistence that Dad had been wrong, that he'd been different. The resentment lingered, emotionally, but he no longer thought that way. Or didn't think he did.

He tries not to think about that.

But here, with Mary and Jess... Sam has been wondering how things might have been different. And he resents that, too. Mom had left before he could really tell her his fears. He hadn't wanted to worry her, to waste time dredging up things she might not be proud of him for. And Jess... he just wants to protect her from all this.

"Yeah," he said finally. "I get the point. I hope you get to be the person you want to be, Dawn. You seem pretty cool."
