Posting early cos, I'm leaving in a half hour for the whole day and night and I did not want to miss out on this one. I want to take a minute to say Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans(and even those who aren't)! It's great to live in this wonderful country, where freedom of speech gives us the liberty to write to our heart's content about what we choose (like hurt Dean and Sam, and lots of crazy SPN stories every week lol). I can't believe this is our 100th drabble, and I'm going to get all geeky for a minute and say its been a really fun experience meeting new SPN fans and making online friends because of this little community. There have been many days that have plain sucked in life, and just coming here to read and get lost in the stories is sometimes (ok, a lot of times) a saving grace.

Thanks to the lovely Rachelle and Meredith for starting the trend, and to the wonderful people I have met here...and here's to the next 100. Woohoo!

He had been gone six months and it was driving Dean mad.

He told himself it was for Sam, and it still took him 3 days to work up the nerve to call.

"Uh, hey, Sammy, it's, uh, your big brother," he chuckled into the phone.

"Just, uh, checking in to see if you need anything. Call me."

He didn't know how he missed the return call since he was glued to his phone 24/7.

"Hey Dean. I appreciate your concern, but I'm on my own now, independent, and… I'm fine. Thanks, but, I don't need your help anymore."

"Bye."
