Author's Note: So today it was very unfortunate to learn that Supernatural is not coming on tonight…and I'm far too impatient to wait for next week's newest episode. Plus, I'm bored. BUT also I just have this story plot in my head and I wanted to hurry up and update in the Meant To Be series. I have many more story ideas for other Parts so I want to try and update as much as I can! I can't wait for "Scarecrow" and "Faith" to air…

Second Author's Note: I couldn't wait…I had to start writing again…

Rated: PG – PG-13 (Language, Violence, and possible Sexual Content)

Distribution: I do NOT own Supernatural or its characters. My own characters that I make up are, obviously, mine.

Prologue – Outa Wendy Falls

December 27th, 2005

9:21 A.M….

Dean leaned against the black Impala as he tiredly filled the gas tank. His hands were deep in his pockets as he his fingers played with his keys. Most of Wendy Falls were still tucked into their beds, catching up sleep from the previous holiday and from all the after-Christmas sales. The previous days had involved the entire town going to the mall and local stores to take advantage of bargains. Although the rush to save money would still occur later today, people now actually took the time to sleep in until ten in the morning.

Sam came out of the Quik Trip with Philip and Lori by his side. The two teenagers wanted to see the Winchesters off. All three of them came out of the gas station wearing hoodies – Sam wore his baggy brown one while Philip wore a gray hoodie and Lori wore a pink zip-up.

The twenty-two-year-old carried a small brown bag with snacks for the road. Lori stuck her hands into the pockets of her faded jeans and asked, "So, we're not going to see you guys ever, huh?"

"You may be surprised," Sam smiled down at the girl. "Don't worry, we won't be forgetting you. We have e-mail addresses and all. Keep in touch."

"Well this Christmas break sure was fun," Philip sighed. "I'm actually kind of glad we go back to school in January."

"School…dear God…" Lori groaned. She ran a hand through her black hair and she stared up at Sam sadly. "I'm glad you and Dean – and Amy – decided to come to Wendy Falls this year…otherwise…"

Her small eyes turned to Philip. Her boyfriend looked at her lovingly and reached for her hand. The teen couple gave each other a small smile and Lori finished, "Otherwise we'd both be dead."

The Stanford graduate gave each teen a wide grin and said, "Don't worry. You both are good kids. Things will get better, I promise."

"It's just weird to know…" Philip thought. "Knowing about everything…there really are things that go bump in that night…"

"Trust me," Sam reassured, "as you two get older…you'll understand more…I can tell you two are going to be stuck with each other for a while…and I know you both will always remember that the paranormal and the supernatural are real in the world."

"You won't forget us?" Lori whispered.

The handsome young man smiled down at the girl and rested a hand on her shoulder. "No worries. Plus, you're the second Lori I've met while Dean and I have been on this road trip…two Loris that are definitely unforgettable…"

Sam turned to Philip and the two shook hands slowly. "Take care of your girl, Philip."

"I will," Philip nodded.

The three came to the car while Dean put the gas pump away. His hazel eyes turned back to the Quik Trip and through the glass doors and windows he could see Amy paying at the counter for the gas and three cappuccinos.

Dean couldn't help but smile. She wore her brown leather jacket and dark blue jeans. Her short hair curved at the edges around her face. He watched as she smiled kindly at the man behind the counter and carefully carried the three morning drinks in a gray cardboard carrier.

She came out of the store smiling to herself. Amy looked up and caught Dean's gaze. They were lost in each other's eyes before he felt Philip come to him and offer to shake hands. Dean shook his hand and felt the teenager's girlfriend quickly run into his arms. Hugging the teenager back, oddly, Dean pulled away and Lori flashed a bright smile.

"See you around, kid," Dean grinned, smiling smoothly.

Amy came to the group and Sam graciously took the cappuccinos from her.

"So, we all set?" Amy asked, sticking her hands into the back of her pants. But she removed them when Lori came to her side and wrapped her arms around her. Amy embraced the young girl in her arms and whispered to her quietly, "Take care, Lori. Keep in touch. You're a great girl, you know that? I'm proud of how you and Philip have handled the past week or so."

"Thanks Amy, for everything…" Lori whispered. She stared up at the twenty-six-year-old and pulled away slowly.

Amy then hugged Philip and the teenager held her back.

"Thanks," Philip agreed. "For everything."

"Maybe we'll all meet again," Amy noted.

Philip and Lori stood side by side by the gas pump while Amy got into the back seat and Sam threw them a quick wave before entering shotgun. Dean tilted his head upward as farewell and quickly got into the black car.

The two teenagers heard the ignition start and they waited and watched as the car pulled out of the parking lot and headed down the road.

Kissing the side of Lori's head, Philip led the girl to his Jeep.

O.O.O.O.O.O.

The black Impala ran through the green light on the empty road as they passed a sign that read: Now Leaving Wendy Falls.
