Somewhere in Kansas- Thursday morning

[thatwaslucky]

Rey was having such a weird week. She had no idea what had gotten into her last night, and she'd woken up feeling gross again only to see a notification that sometime after Dean had sent her home, she'd booked a last minute portal for this morning back home. Apparently for like, 36 hours. She couldn't get a refund, so she figured she might as well go. It was never a bad thing to see her friends.

And then there was a last-minute stopover, which was why she was sitting in a Portalocity terminal somewhere in Kansas, alternating between practicing getting rid of this headache and also checking to make sure the portal wasn't delayed further. It was more like 24 hours now and she was already annoyed. At least next time she could actually plan this...

Rey probably did not have a ring tone for Dean, but her phone was definitely ringing. Just because after last night Dean felt a check-in might be necessary.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey had the generic ringtone because no one ever called her on her phone, but she was picking up! "Hello?"

"Hey, it's Dean. Just want to make sure you're recovering okay from last night," he said switching the phone from one hand to the other. "And I'm also back to normal. Want to hear Thor burp the alphabet?"

[thatwaslucky]

"Absolutely not," she said. "I'm doing all right. Apparently bought a ticket home, though. Don't know why I did that."

[single_man_tear]

"Maybe drunk you was homesick?" Dean suggested.

[thatwaslucky]

"Maybe. I'm waiting for a portal in Kansas right now."

She wasn't actually sure where Kansas was. Somewhere in the middle.

"Oh hey, I was born there," Dean replied. "Enjoy the flatness. Or at least the barbecue if you're in Kansas City."

[thatwaslucky]

"I don't think I have time for any of that but the barbecue sounds amazing."

It was food, it was all amazing.

"Oh that's too bad. Maybe next time," Dean replied. "Hey, can you tell me what this sounds like?"

And then Dean played the recording he made earlier

[thatwaslucky]

"...I can't believe you played it anyway," she sighed.

[single_man_tear]

"Yeah, that's just me being me," Dean chuckled. "Make sure to alternate Tylenol and Ibuprofen. Keep drinking water."

[thatwaslucky]

"I know. I e got some techniques to run through, too." Practice!

[single_man_tear]

"I hate to tell you but there's no lava in Kansas," Dean informed her.

[thatwaslucky]

"Then what fun is Kansas?" Rey teased.

[single_man_tear]

"... I already told you about the barbecue, right?" Dean asked.

[thatwaslucky]

"All right. Next time in Kansas," she said. "I'll test that."
