Natalie is in the backseat with the girls and Libby is watching a movie on the iPod and Natalie is trying to teach Ophelia how to make bracelets.

Natalie sees movement in the corner of her eyes and looks up, watching Dean put a plastic spoon in Sam's mouth as he sleeps. Natalie rolls her eyes, but gets a small smile at Dean's annoying ways..

Dean takes his phone out and flips it open, taking a picture. Dean blasts the music and loudly sings along. Sam jumps awake and waves his arms around when he realizes something's in his mouth, doing so until the spoon is swatted out.

Both of his siblings laugh and even Ophelia quietly giggles.

"Ha ha, very funny." Sam says sarcastically.

"Sorry, not a lot of scenery here in east Texas, kinda gotta make your own." Dean smiles.

"Man, we're not kids anymore, Dean. We're not going to start that crap up again." Sam says.

"Start what up?" Dean asks.

"That prank stuff. It's stupid -- and it always escalates." Sam says.

"I second that." Natalie says.

"Aw, what's the matter, twinnies? Scared you're gonna get a little nair in you shampoo again, huh?" Dean smirks.

"Yeah... I'm really glad I let Sam take a shower first that day." Natalie says making Dean snicker.

"All right, just remember, you started it." Sam tells his brother.

"Bring it on, baldy." Dean laughs. "Natty?"

"Fine." Natalie rolls her eyes. "But no sabotaging sentimental things."

"Don't worry. We won't touch your bracelets." Dean says.

"Also the kids are off limits. No pranks involving them or-or about them. No using them for a prank." Sam says.

"Deal." Dean says.

"Where are we, anyway?" Sam asks.

"A few hours outside of Richardson. Gimme the lowdown again." Dean says.

"All right, about a month or two ago, this group of kids goes poking around in this local haunted house." Sam says, looking at a newspaper.

"Haunted by what?" Dean asks.

"Apparently, a pretty misogynistic spirit. Legend goes, it takes girls and strings them up in the rafters. Anyway, this group of kids see this dead girl hanging in the cellar." Sam says.

"Anybody ID the corpse?" Dean asks.

"Well, that's the thing. By the time the cops got there, the body was gone. So cops are saying the kids were just yanking chains." Sam says.

"Maybe the cops are right." Dean says.

"Maybe, but I read a couple of the kids firsthand accounts. They seemed pretty sincere." Sam says.

"Where'd you read these accounts?"

"Well, I knew we were going to be passing through Texas. So, um, last night, I surfed some local... paranormal websites. And I found one."

"And what's it called?"

"HellHoundsLair.com."

"Lemme guess, streaming live out of mom's basement." Dean remarks making the twins snicker.

"Yeah, probably." Sam says.

"Yeah. Most of those websites wouldn't know a ghost if it bit 'em in the persqueeter." Dean says.
