A/N-I was thinking of writing a prequel of how they met, but I'm not sure.

John and Mary were sitting in the backyard on the lawn chairs watching the kids chase the fireflies around.

Sam was sitting on Mary's lap, trying to smash the fireflies that were hovering around him.

"I don't think they should be bothering those bugs." John said.

"Why?" Mary asked as she tried to hold Sam still.

"They light up when they're ready to mate."

"Mate!" Sam said. "Mate mate mate!"

"Great job." Mary said. John shrugged.

One of the fireflies settled on the tip of Sam's nose. Right as his hand was about to make contact with it, it flew away and he hit himself in the face.

Tears prickled in his eyes and he started whining softly. Mary picked him up decided to take him inside.

"It's gonna rain soon so you should take them inside in about 5 minutes," she said as she got up.

"But, Mary look how much fun they're havin'," John replied, gesturing towards the kids who were running around a few yards away.

"OK, I'll just lock the doors when it starts to rain then."

"…5 minutes, you said?"

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

Dean likes fireflies. They're not slimy like worms, and they don't sting you like bees.

"Their lights keep the monsters away," Dean said.

"Monsters?" Castiel said, tilting his head to the side.

"Oh puh-lease," Crowley said. "A stupid bug's light wouldn't keep a demon away."

"A demon would never mess with me," Gabriel said. "They'd run away screaming if I even snapped my fingers."

"…You can't snap your fingers, Gabriel." Balthazar said.

Gabriel was was about to say something, but then Dean's dad called over to them, telling them it was time to go inside.

While they were walking to the house, Dean held onto Castiel's hand, standing close.

They were in the tent John had set up for them in the living room.

Crowley and Gabriel took turns telling them a scary story, a flashlight making their faces seem spooky.

Dean was near shaking in fear, Castiel looked bored, and Balthazar stared at them with interest.

"And they were never heard from again," Gabriel finished, Crowley doing an evil laugh for effect.

"That is the most-" Castiel started to say, but was interrupted when Dean's father poked his head into the tent, making all of them accept Crowley scream.

"Jeez, calm down," he said. "It's time to go to sleep, turn off the light." Then he left.

The kids were quiet for a few seconds, except for Gabriel, who started snoring.

"Cass," Dean whispered. "Do you think the monsters are gonna come tonight?"

"Gabriel and Crowley are liars." Castiel whispered back. "But if any do come, they'll have to go through me."

Dean smiled and closed his eyes.

After a few minutes of Gabriel's snore filling the tent, Balthazar said, "Crowley?"

"Yeah, Balthy?" he replied.

"The light from the flashlight made you look cute."

"I know," Crowley said, smiling to himself.

Balthazar felt his face turn red, and then went to sleep.

Gabriel kept snoring.
