Yeah, it was important to me to show that even though Sam is the one who called for rescue, Kelly is really the one who needed it. Sam just needed a ride. ;^D
And it always kills me when I think of Dean's potential, the way he channeled and directed it from such an early age. I was thinking about his comments in "Bloodlust" about realizing at 16 that he couldn't care less about "normal" teenage angst issues, because he had hunting. I think that went a huge way to shaping his interactions in school. It's not that he didn't want normal occasionally - I do think he sometimes wanted to "fit in" as much as Sam did - but the price of "normal" just seems too high. Dean may have some self-esteem issues, but he certainly knows himself and he knows what he wants, and I wanted to play with some of the choices he's made on the way to becoming the man he is.
And yeah, I also had fun playing with the idea that Dean and Sam are actually much more together than any kid at that party!
