A/N: This is a small scene that after many frustrating attempts at wedging simply does not fit the ages of the boys for the fic I was trying to fit it into. So, lightly altered, here it is on its own. No spoilers for anything. [LJ-only]

The Importance of Dental Hygiene

Sam sat on the edge of his bed, arms folded. "But it's Saturday, Dean! Cartoons are on today! And I've got math homework and-"
"Dad says we're all going to Maine, so we're going to Maine."
"What's in Maine?"
Dean shrugged. "Dunno. Pack for a few days, and don't think that 'forgetting' to pack your toothbrush will get you out of brushing your teeth again."
"But I didn't-"
"Nope." Dean smirked and patted a side pocket of his bag. "I'm packing a spare from now on, just in case you 'forget'. It's from under the bathroom sink."
Sam looked horrified. "The one that was there when we moved in? But... that's gross!"
"So, don't forget your toothbrush." Dean zipped up his bag. "Dad said we're leaving at nine-thirty."
"That's in half an hour!"
"You would have been packed already if you hadn't been dragging your feet."
"But Dean!"
"If you get packed fast enough, there might be some Fruit Loops left. Otherwise, I'm sure you can have some of Dad's Bran Flakes." Dean grinned and sauntered out the door of their room, leaving Sam in a flurry of socks and t-shirts.
When he got to the kitchen, Dean checked his bag's side pocket again to make sure the brand new 'Little Princess' toothbrush was snugly hidden deep inside. He smirked and carefully poured himself half the remaining Fruit Loops, listening to Sam frantically ransacking the bathroom for a toothbrush he wasn't going to find.
Dean would never make Sammy brush his teeth with the disgusting thing from under the bathroom sink, but a pink sparkly Princess toothbrush? Oh yeah.
