Chapter Four: Along Came Brendan
The next day, before the start of school, Sam, every other student that attends his high school, and Dean, stands in the noisy and chaotic cafeteria.
"I can't believe we're at Lindsey's FUNERAL" Sam cries, Dean standing next to him.
They wear tuxedos and black shoes. "Rip" Dean sadly mutters. "Where are her parents?" She asks?"
"They said they were too heartbroken to show up to the funeral" Sam answers.
"Yikes."
"Yeah. I'm just so sad-!" Sam starts to cry out, before "Sam!" Kathryn yells, running up to him in a black dress, and black high heels.
"Kathryn!" He smiles, paying all his attention to her, now. Her nose is red, eyes red and puffy.
"How are you?" She asks.
"Good!" He smiles, now happy that he's with her. She frowns.
"I-I mean, grieving..."
"It's okay. You didn't know her that well. Not like I did. She was my best friend."
"I'm sorry" Sam tells her. "Thank you. You guys look nice," she compliments. "Thanks. You too" Sam smiles to her. "I always look nice" is all Dean responds. At the front of the room, the principle taps on the microphone, testing it. "Everyone. Your attention please."
Everyone continues talking.
"SHUT. THE FUCK. UP!!!!!" He shouts, making everyone scream and look at him.
"Can we get this shit over with?" He asks them. "I'm craving a burrito."
After the long, touching service, Sam and Kathryn walk over to the casket Lindsay's body lies in, everyone else having returned to their classes.
"I can't believe she's gone" Kathryn says, starting to tear up. After she begins to cry, Sam comforts her by bringing her close to him, and rubbing her shoulders. "It's gonna be okay" he softly encourages. "Thank you. You're sweet." She wipes her tears. After kissing his cheek, they passionately gaze into each other's eyes.
He pulls her close and kisses her, but after ten seconds, she pulls away.
"Would it be rude to date your late best friend's ex?" She asks.
"Probably."
"Oh well. At least we'll be in Hell together."
"We can apologize to Lindsay there." He starts kissing her again, the kiss becoming more intense. They wrap their arms around each other. He lies her down on top of the casket, climbing on top of her, continuing to kiss.
They step onto the floor again, trying not to act too insensitive.
The casket flies open, revealing a very alive Lindsay, who screams at the sight of Sam and Kathryn kissing. They break apart, noticing her and starting to scream as well. "GHOST!" Kathryn shouts. "It's okay! My family hunts ghosts!" Sam tells her. "Really? That's hot" Kathryn tells him.
"I'm not a GHOST, you horny idiots" Lindsay tells them, slamming the casket closed. "I've been ASLEEP this entire time."
"So my brother didn't really murder you by hitting you with a rock?!" Sam smiles, overwhelmed with relief. "Your brother tried to kill her?!" Kathryn yells, frowning. "Only because SHE tried to kill him FIRST" Sam defends.
"Yikes" is all Kathryn can say.
"Yikes ME? Yikes YOU guys! Did you REALLY think I was dead?!" Lindsay asks.
"Yeah!" Sam and Kathryn yell together.
"Well, as you can see, I'm not. Now if you excuse me, I'll be getting to class, thank you very much."
"So you don't care that we're dating?" Kathryn asks.
"Please. Of COURSE I care. You're breaking the girl code, Kathryn! And when you thought I was DEAD!" She scolds her.
"I'm sorry! He's just so kissable!"
"That's what I thought, when I was dating him."
"We've never even kissed!" Sam yells to her.
Lindsay grabs him, kissing him hard. Kathryn shockingly gasps, as Sam makes desperate noises against Lindsay's mouth.
She pulls away, saying "Well now we have. I will take you back, Sam Winchester. I can and I will! And we WILL have nine kids!"
Sam squeaks in fear.
She walks out of the room.
"Sam? Are you okay?" Kathryn asks him.
"Two girls in one day? Man. Dean will be so proud of me." Is all he says.
For a few minutes, everyone is shocked to see that Lindsay is actually alive, but stops caring shortly afterwards.
"I don't know if we should be seeing each other so publicly, Kathryn." Sam tells her in a worried hushed tone at lunch. "Lindsay's pretty crazy. What if she does something-"
"Crazy?" Kathryn finishes his sentence.
"Yes!" He cries out.
"We can hang out on the roof until next period, if you want," he suggests.
"Hm. That seems like a fun and non-dangerous place to spend time with each other. Let's go."
