A half-eaten plot-bunny...

I don't know if that's the correct way to describe what happened with this plot bunny... but uh, well it sure feels like it.

So as usual, I was doing my own thing, when suddenly I was bothered inspired by a plot bunny.

Unfortunately I was nowhere near my computer and I didn't have a pen-paper-combo anywhere near. But I wasn't too bothered. I figured I'd just wait until I was at my computer to write out the plot bunny.

So then- hours later- I'm sitting at the computer. I write bits of dialogue and I stop.

Not because I'm tired, but because for the life of me, I couldn't remember what was supposed to happen.

I even tried staring at the dialogue I had so far-- to see if it brought up anything.

Nothing.

And now I'm stuck with odd bits of dialogue and stuff- and it feels interesting- but no idea what it was meant to actually be.

Here's what I managed to write...
=x=x=x=x=x=
Sirius huffed and followed the young men. 
"It's still following."
"Just ignore him."
"We can't just ignore it. It saved our lives, Dean."
"And what do you want me to do Samantha? Give it a scooby snack for a job well done?" 

Sirius felt helpless. In his current form, there was no way he could do anything to help the stupid boys. 

"Idiots!" Sirius gasped out as he threw the shotgun down and fell to his knees as blood dripped down his knees. His body shuddered with pain and his muscles twitched. "Don't be so damn reckless. How am I supposed to help you all the time."
The brothers stared at him with wide eyes. 
Sirius gasped for breath as his body forcefully shrunk down in height and 
=x=x=x=x=x=
 I'm guessing at the end Sirius turns back to his grim form- without actually wanting to. So Sirius is stuck in SPN world in his grim form- and probably has problems turning back into his human form or something like that?

Sam and Dean just think he's a dog until something where Sirius becomes human for a while?

Gah!

Anyway, thankfully my other writing is going smoother than this plot-bunny. I have my chapter 14 to-do-list and I've gotten some nice bits of dialogue already written up. 
[“But you're rich."
“That's only because we're cost-effective.”
“So basically, you're cheap and you want to be even cheaper.” ] Can you guess who's speaking?  Obviously it's not stellar dialogue, because it's still a draft. Who knows how it'll turn out after editing.

Hope you guys are having a nice summer!
