The Principal's Tower, Monday Morning

[bigdamnprincipal]

When Zoe woke up, it didn't seem strange for her to be in her own bed in the tower, nor did it seem strange to have John beside her. What did seem strange was the passing thought of whether or not John might still have cooties, before she fully woke up and nearly bolted upright, swearing soundly.

[For anyone who might have spent the night in the tower. *g*]

The sudden sharp movement next to him -- not to mention the swearing -- shot John from a sound sleep into alert wakefulness in about two seconds. Instinctively, he reached under his pillow where he usually kept a weapon and came up with.... a water pistol?

He blinked at it until memories of the last couple of days came rushing back.

Then there might have been some swearing of his own.

Zoe reached over and grabbed John's arm. "Please tell me that I spent the weekend having pregnancy-related hallucinations of small children?"

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

"Sorry," John said. "That only works if I was having sympathetic hallucinations."

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe shook her head, swearing a little more quietly. "I hate this place sometimes. Do you think it's too much to ask that none of the students will remember what happened?"

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

"Probably," John said, flopping back on the pillows and throwing an arm over his eyes. "I asked Sammy for a piggyback ride," he said plaintively.

[bigdamnprincipal]

"Did he give you one?" she asked.

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

"....Yes."

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe tried to cover her laugh with a cough. "That was very kind of him."

John groaned and buried his face in his pillow. Maybe he'd get lucky and accidentally suffocate?

[bigdamnprincipal]

"Maybe we can convince everyone that being young made us all act completely different and out of character?" Zoe suggested.

"I don't think anyone would buy that," John said, voice muffled by the pillow. "Or if they did, they wouldn't care."

[bigdamnprincipal]

"Good point," Zoe said, sighing. "Maybe we should just lay low today, to try to lessen the embarrassment."

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

"Today, tomorrow, the rest of the week," John said, turning his head to look at her. "Possibly the rest of the month. Or year."

"Yeah," Dean added with a smile. "And that you've got over that whole cooties phobia."

[likethegun]

"Do you remember anything from this weekend?" Sam asked.

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe glanced at John. "I can back you up if you want to say no," she whispered.

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

John was tempted, but among all the embarrassing moments there had been certain things said that it would be doing a disservice to Sammy especially if he denied remembering it.

"Everything," he said with a sigh.

[likethegun]

"So, you remember the piggy back ride, huh?" Sam said with a grin.

[bigdamnprincipal]

And that would be Zoe's cue to cover her face with her pillow to try to stifle her laughter.

Dean looked at Sammy. "Piggy back ride?"

[likethegun]

"When Dad and I went out to walk Scout, we stopped to get pizza, and he asked if I could give him a piggy back ride on the way there," Sam explained. "I, being a dutiful son said, said yes, of course."

Dean stared from Sammy to Dad and back again, a slow smile spreading over his face. "Did you get pictures?"

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

"Don't you two have classes or something?" John asked plaintively.

[likethegun]

"I do, but I don't have to leave right away," Sam replied. "I wish I'd gotten pictures when I had the chance, now that I think about it."

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe moaned a little at the word "pictures." "Trust me, the memories we all have are blackmail enough." When she pulled the pillow down, she glanced at Dean. "You're a very good babysitter, for the record."
