Chapter Three: Dean's Race to get Ready

Dean woke up at eleven and started planning the picnic. He had a pad and a pen and wrote down what he could take. The list included watermelon, some of Ellen's chocolate cake, some pasta salad, a sandwich from Russo's (a deli Cas mentioned he liked), a bottle of soda, plastic utensils, and paper plates. If Dean wanted to keep it secret from his family he would have to do it all between three and five and "it all" referred to buy watermelon, pasta, peppers, an onion, sausage (the peppers, onion, and sausage are for the pasta salad), a Big Italian from Russo's, find someone to buy half a cake from the diner who won't ask questions, make the pasta and sausage, cut up the watermelon, peppers, and onion, pack everything up, and hide his basket somewhere that it won't be seen but can easily be gotten to. He writes this all down then goes to choose an outfit. The outfit he choses consists of skinny jeans, and tight gray t-shirt, a flannel shirt and his dad's old leather jacket. Sam walks by Dean's room and sees him laying out an outfit and the to-do list and asks "What are you doing?"

Dean quickly responses "Nothing, get outta here"

Sam disobeys Dean and starts to read the to-do list

"Oh my God!" Sam exclaimed "You gotta date"

"Give me that" Dean says pulling the to-do list from Sam's hands and says "Who's it with? Why is it a secret?"

"That's none of your business"

"Jerk"

"Bitch"

Sam then leave the room but when Dean turns his back to the door Sam tackles him onto the bed and manages to pin his brother down

"Spill!" Sam yelled in his brothers face

"Get off!" Dean yelled back

"What's her name? Where'd ya met her? Why's it a secret?"

"Because it's not with a girl it's with a boy!"

Sam got off of Dean a quietly screamed "You're gay? How did I not know this?"

"I didn't know till yesterday"

"What did this happen at the party? 'Cause it could just be a heat of the moment thing"

"Our feelings for each other started earlier that day after baseball practice"

"He's on the team?"

"No he was helping the librarian and we ran into each other"

"So are you saying it was like, love at first sight?"

"For me it was"

"Wow, so how long did you guys talk at the school that you're going on a date? I mean you didn't come home that late?"

"We only talked for a few minutes in the hall then I spent almost the entire party with him alone in Benny's room"

"Wait did you..."

"No, no, no. We only talked and kissed"

"You guys kissed?"

"A few times"

"How many?" Dean had to think about this for a minute before saying "I think eight times an I kissed him on the cheek"

"Eight times? You guys met that day!"

"I know I really like him though. I've only known him for less then a day and I accidentally told him I love him"

"What? You know there's something you say to me a lot"

"I know, I know, accidents don't happen on accident"

"What did he say to that? I mean the 'I love you'"
