Chapter 3

"So...how exactly are you two...together?" Sam asked, as he closed the motel room door behind him.
"She's my big sister." Spaz explained. "And I use the term "big" loosely."
Sam nodded. "Dean's my older brother."
"I guess all the older siblings are short now days." Spaz said with a shrug.
"Still here." Skippy said, annoyed.
"Listen, I'm really sorry about almost eating you. I didn't even realize that..." Dean trailed off, afraid that he would offend the girl.
"What? That people can be tiny?" She finished for him.
"Yeah."
"Me neither. I gotta tell you, that was the weirdest blind date I ever had." She said thinking back.
"How did you end up in his ketchup in the first place?" Sam asked out of curiosity.
"I'd like to know the same thing." Spaz glared at Dean.
"Well..." Skippy started to tell them.
"Alright, Skippy. Fine, I'll let you out." Spaz said reaching into her pocket and pulled out Skippy. "Just hide if somebody comes, okay?"
"Why? Where are you going?" The tiny girl asked, looking up to Spaz with a questioning look.
"I have to use the restroom. I'll be back A.S.A.P." She explained. "Oh and could you get us some ketchup? If you can't-""I can do it!" Skippy said offended. "I may be small, but I think I can manage squirting ketchup into a tiny cup."
Spaz raised her eyebrow at her. "Right. Sorry I doubted you." She said, knowing that Skippy didn't realize how big the cups would be to her now. "I'll be back, don't go any where."
After Spaz left, Skippy started walking along the counter, looking for the ketchup dispenser. She finally found it and looked all the way up at the nozzle.
"Cr*p!" She said, realizing how high up it was.
She looked around and found a cup for ketchup. After it was pushed under the nozzle, she climbed up a stack of white paper cups. From the top of the cups, she jumped onto the large ketchup contained and walked on top of the nozzle that you push down to release the ketchup..
"This isn't so bad." Skippy said to herself as she walked up to the end of the pump. "I just need to keep my balance and don't look down."
Once she reached the end, a large shadow loomed over her entire body. When she looked up, she saw two men that looked a few years older then herself. She was so caught up with how huge and how very attractive they were, that she didn't notice until it was too late. She looked up and saw a hand descending right on top of her. The man wasn't paying attention as he was talking to the other man. Skippy knew that she couldn't risk running back along the nozzle, especially when this guy was about to push it all down. Being at the front end and seeing his hand coming down, she had no choice. She quickly started to climb down the side and tried to hang on, but it was too slippery. She fell off expecting to hit the surface of the table in pain, but instead she landed in a paper cup. When she looked up, she saw to her horror, a waterfall of ketchup. And it was coming right at her. "NO!" She screamed and ducked into the bottom of the cup.
The cup was filled up completely engulfing Skippy in a pool of ketchup. When she surfaced, she tried her best to wipe the ketchup out of her eyes, so she could get a better look at her surroundings. She saw a giant burger and a giant red cup that said coke on the side, complete with a straw. Then she saw what she dreaded the most, an enormous red and yellow french fry container.
"Oh...my...g-ahh!" She screamed as the giant man grabbed a fry and quickly dumped it into the ketchup container. To avoid getting crushed or scooped up, she dove deep down into the ketchup again. After a while she had to resurface to get some fresh air. "HELP!" She yelled, hoping that he would notice her. If not him, then at least the man sitting across from him. "DOWN HERE! NO! STOP!" She dived down again as she saw the fry come down again.
"And then when I came back up, I saw Spaz yelling at you for eating me."
"When you put it that way, you make me sound like a monster." Dean said.
"No offence, but you looked the part from my point of view."
"Dean, do you ever pay attention to what you eat?" Sam asked and Spaz and Skippy both waited for an answer.
"Did we come here to discuss my eating habits or are we actually going to help them out?" Dean asked, trying to change the subject. Nobody said anything, so Dean continued to speak. "That's what I thought. Alright, so tell us what happened." Dean took a seat at the table, waiting for everyone else to sit down or start explaining.
Sam sat down on the bed next to Spaz, who started grinning.
"What's up with you?" Dean cocked an eyebrow as he looked at Spaz.
"Just remembering how it all happened." Spaz started to giggle and tried to stop. "I'm sorry. Skippy, maybe you should tell them how it happened."
"How about, how it all started?" Skippy huffed with her arms crossed. She was standing outside of the shoebox now, so they could all see her.
Skippy was in her room, getting ready, when she heard two people climbing the stairs. Judging from the arguing voices, it was Spaz and Uncle Bobby.
"--It's a blind date, she doesn't have to know-"
"She has to know!" Spaz hissed.
Skippy opened her door, and Uncle Bobby and Spaz looked at her, opened mouthed.
"Hey, Skipperdoodle." Uncle Bobby said, nervously. "Ready for your big date?"
"Who am I going with?" Skippy was now even more scared about it then she was five minutes ago.
Spaz glared at her uncle, who shrugged angrily at her, who gestured to Skippy back at him.
"Fine, Spaz." Their uncle huffed. "Skippy...you know those pixies?"
Skippy blanched. "I-I'm going on a date with a pixie?!"
"His mom really likes you," He said quickly. "She thinks you'd be good for him."
"I'd be GOOD for him? Are you insane?" Skippy cried as she sank onto her bed."
"Well...maybe you could just eat him on the date." Spaz offered. Uncle Bobby whacked the back of her head.
"The point is, Skip, it's a favor I owe." Uncle Bobby said.
"Then you date him!" Skippy said, pulling her pillow over her face and groaning. "...I'm not getting out this, am I?"
"Sorry, Skippy." Uncle Bobby mumbled.
He walked out of the room, slowly and looking bashful.
"Sorry, Skippy." Spaz said, not sounding sorry at all. "But hey, do you think I could take pictures of you guys when he gets to the door?"
Skippy's only reply was her chucking her pillow at Spaz's head, who then ran outside, laughing.
"Hey, we know a Bobby." Dean said, interrupting Skippy.
"It's not an uncommon name." Skippy said, sounding annoyed that her story was interrupted.
"It's probably not the same Bobby." Spaz pointed out, half bouncing to get back to the story. "If it was, we would have met sooner. And I've never seen you guys in my life."
"Neither have I." Skippy nodded.
"And believe me, she'd remember."
Skippy threw her a furious look, but Spaz didn't notice.
"As she was saying..."
It had been an hour since their uncle left them and Skippy's date would be arriving any minute now. He had to help out some friends on a hunt, but never mentioned who they were.
Skippy heard a knock on the door and her stomach started to tighten up. She walked over to the door and pulled Spaz's camera out of her hands and stuffed it inside of her purse. Then she took a deep breath and opened the door, looking down, expecting to see a tiny pixie. To her surprise, the first thing she saw was a pair of shoes connected to pair of jeans, and a white buttoned up shirt.
"Hi, I'm Zach. You must be Skippy." He handed her a yellow daisy and smiled. "Here. Um, are you ready?"
Skippy took the flower and handed it to Spaz. "Uh, I guess so." She said slightly confused.
"What? Where you expecting smaller?" He laughed nervously.
"Yeah, actually. No offence or anything."
"Don't worry about it. In fact, you're not that far off. I mean, we can change sizes when ever we want to." Zach explained. "It's just that my mother prefers the other."
"Oh...okay." Skippy looked over to Spaz who was trying her best not to laugh, then she followed Zach to his car and they left for their date.
An hour and a half later Spaz heard the car pull up and saw Skippy closing the car door. She waved to Zach with a small smile, but when she turned around, Spaz saw the anger in her eyes.
"Uh oh." Spaz quickly pulled the curtain shut and jumped onto the couch, snagging a magazine off of the table. She jumped a little when she heard the door slam shut.
"SPAZ!" Skippy marched into the living room, seeing Spaz reading a magazine that was upside down. "We're calling up Uncle Bobby RIGHT NOW!"
"How was your date?" Spaz smirked without looking up.
Skippy glared at her. "I am NEVER going out with him again! Or should I say 'I'm never going out with him and his MOTHER!' "
Spaz dropped the magazine on the coffee table with wide eyes. "His mother was with you guys?!"
"YEAH!" Skippy yelled. "She was in his pocket the whole time! I didn't find out until I accidentally spilled water on him!"
"Wow." Spaz laughed, "You spilled water on his mother? Nice first impression.""Oh, shut up!" Skippy walked upstairs and started packing her clothes and other belongings into her backpack. "Once she realized that I knew she was present, she kept telling me the laws of the pixies, and how they let their parents arrange the marriage!" Skippy turned to Spaz. "I was about to be forced to marry a freaking pixie!"
Spaz didn't know what to say, so she just laughed. Then she realized that her sister was packing up. "What are you doing?"
"What does it look like I'm doing, Spaz?" Skippy said sarcastically. "We're leaving. Uncle Bobby went on a hunt and won't be coming back here. He said that he was going to go back to his house. There's no reason why we should stay here any longer, where the pixies can find me and force me to marry some dude that I hardly know. It'd be better if we just leave this house." Skippy looked at a shocked Spaz. "Don't just stand there! Get packing! Come on!"
As Spaz started packing up her bags, Skippy opened the trunk of her car. Just as she was about to toss her bag into the trunk, she felt a sudden pain shoot through her body and was over come with a wave a nausea. Everything started spinning and blurred, as she fell over unconscious.
