Ethics [Monday, March 11, 5th period]

Anakin was leaning against the desk as the Ethics class walked in. A crumpled version the syllabus was in his hand.

"I hope you all stayed dry this weekend and kept your fish throwing to a minimum," he said. "The syllabus says that we're supposed to begin a discussion of the seven deadly sins today, but I want to get to know you a little bit first."

He was supposed to be a new instructor, after all.

"What manner of action do you find unforgivable?" he asked, his voice and manner completely unreadable. "Treason against your country or homeworld? Stealing from the defenseless? Slavery? Murder? Let's not worry about extenuating circumstances for the moment. If I were to tell you I killed children, most of you would recoil, correct? Where do you draw that line in your head? How far does someone have to go before you say 'that's wrong and there's no getting past it'?"

He avoided John's eyes as he paced around the room, finally pointing at a student. "Go ahead."

Talk, pass notes, et cetera. But do it quietly, please.

Turtle just might be taking careful notes on where everyone line is. For future reference.

Dean doodled as he listened. Somehow he thought Winchester limits were going to be different than the norm.

Sam nudged Dean before leaning closer to him. "Hey."

"Hey." Dean grinned at him. "Talking in class isn't crossing the line?"

Sam rolled his eyes at Dean and gave him a harder nudge. "Ha ha. Only if we don't have something important to talk about, like Dad's birthday."

Dean grinned. "Yeah, that's this week, isn't it? We should do something."

"Yeah, it's Friday. And we definitely should do something. Maybe not something big, 'cause I think he'd kill us if we tried that. But something as a family, definitely."

"Maybe like dinner or something?" Dean suggested. "And we should talk to Zoe, let her know if she doesn't already."

"It wouldn't surprise me if Dad hasn't told her," Sam replied. "Dinner's a good idea."

"We need to get him something too." He looked at Sammy. "Any ideas?"

Sam thought about it, and shrugged. "A set of fuzzy dice for his new truck?" he suggested, snickering.

Dean chuckled. "That and one of those 'Baby on Board' suction cup signs he can put in the window?"

Sam had to put his hand over his mouth to cover his laughter. "Oh man, I just want to see the look on his face if we gave him something like that."

"We'll need to get him something serious too," Dean said. "Weapon?"

"That's probably the safest option."

Dean chuckled. "And this is why the Winchesters will never be normal."

"Well, we're giving Dad something he wants. That's pretty normal," Sam replied.

"True," Dean agreed. "Okay, tomorrow we make a trip to Tex's and see what we can find."

"Good idea. We can probably find something good and useful there. And maybe we could go and talk to Zoe too, so she has some time to prepare?"

"Definitely." He grinned. "Going to be busy tomorrow."

"I think we'll survive," Sam replied with a smirk.

"Oh by the way I had a talk with Alec. He won't be hitting on you anymore."

"Really?" Sam asked. "Did the talk go okay?"
