Three things.

1: If anybody has experience dealing with the school system here, I'd love to talk to you. I'm trying to get started on enrolling a child for September, and any help or advice would be so appreciated. It's a real hassle.

2: Sam Winchester has left the island. I won't say he's gone, because he was gone a long time ago.

3: Does anybody have the power to turn a cat blue? Without dyes or hurting the cat, please.

[Anyone looking for her at her apartment won't find her there.]

that depends on what point he's at

[And a little later]

I looked everywhere and I couldn't find him

I'm sorry

[momchester]

This isn't your fault. I can guess how hard you tried.

[mulletrock]

what happened must've set him off

I could've tried harder

but with Ben and everything else him being AWOL was harder to deal with

[momchester]

I know how you feel. The more chaotic my life was, the harder the situation with John got to deal with.

I think something inside him broke a long time before you or I ever came here. I don't think I ever really knew him.

[mulletrock]

we all break

but I know one thing

he loves you more than anything and always will

[momchester]

[If he could see, the look on her face would probably melt him.]

You're the first person today who knew exactly what to say.

[mulletrock]

there's a first

[momchester]

i love you

[mulletrock]

love you too

[momchester]

[A while later]

I hope you don't feel obligated to stick around for my sake. At your age you definitely don't have to keep living with your mother if you don't want to.

[mulletrock]

nothing personal but I'm already looking for places

we both need our own space

[momchester]

No, no, I understand. As long as Ben can spend weekdays with me. I'm too young to have an empty nest.

[Aka Ben fills a still-painful void in her soul and she needs to be a mommy.]

[mulletrock]

fine with me

but we'll probably have to talk to him about it

[momchester]

I don't want to make this too hard on him. The poor kid needs what routine he can get.

I have an idea, but I don't know if you'll like it.

[mulletrock]

spit it out

[momchester]

since you asked so nicely...

you could get an apartment in the Towers. it'd let Ben visit and move around freely without getting trapped somewhere after sirens. I know he'd miss you if he couldn't get to you half the time.

[mulletrock]

way ahead of you

[momchester]

really?

[this is why you're the favorite, Dean. you bring her good news even on days like today.]

[mulletrock]

really

[momchester]

do you have a regular job yet?

[mulletrock]

do you want the honest answer?

[momchester]

I'd like the answer that tells me that my son isn't hustling in a city he can't just drive away from. Then again, I'd also like to win the lottery and see Paris, so I'd say I'm used to compromise by now.

Just please tell me there are some bars left that I can go to with you without getting thrown out.

[mulletrock]

there's plenty

but guess it's time to find a job

[momchester]

you could be a decent Greeter if you promise not to make any newbies cry

[mulletrock]

I don't make promises
