Chapter 1

Chicks dig gamers

Sam groaned as he felt the warm sunlight streaming in through the window. He rolled on to his back just as heard his brother's heavy footsteps thundering up the stairs. Dean threw the door open, a big smile plastered on his face. His right hand was holding something and it was hidden behind his back.

"Guess what I've got, Sammy." He said as he flopped himself down on to the edge of his bed, causing it to creak from his weight.

"Wha-?" Sam mumbled, barely audibly. He opened his eyes to just slits and muttered "It's Sam."

"Whatever." Dean replied, rolling his eyes.

He yanked the bed cover off, smirking as Sam sat up and gave him one of his infamous bitchfaces.

"Here." The blonde said as he shoved the mystery object in to Sam's hands. Sam raked a hand through his hair so he could take a better look. His lips parted slightly, instantly recognizing what it was.

"Oh my god. How d'you get it? I swear the release date isn't for ages."

"Go on say it, you have an awesome brother."

Sam sighed but couldn't help but smile. He couldn't believe that they actually had the game. Supernatural brand new and it was all anyone was talking about at school. "I have an awesome brother." He responded, deciding to humor him. "Seriously though, how d'you get it?"

Dean's smile only grew wider at the question. "Charlie owed me a favour and managed to sign us up as Beta testers. Dude, come on, hurry up and take your hour long shower so we can play already."

Sam shoved his shoulder playfully and climbed out of bed. He yawned, watching as Dean left the room at lightning speed to set up the game. He shook his head slightly and let out a small chuckle as he pushed the bathroom door open and took a cold shower because Dean had taken all the hot water already.

When he trudged downstairs, his chocolate locks smelling of the watermelon shampoo his brother hated so much, Sam glanced down at Dean who was kneeling in front of the TV. Dean turned around and chucked his brother a pair of weird looking goggles.

"Seriously?" he asked, raising an eyebrow as he glanced down at them distastefully.

"Dead serious. It's an online virtual reality game, Sam. Put the damn things on, you'll see."

"I'm gonna look stupid with 'em on."

"You look stupid anyway Sam." Dean teased, receiving a deadly glare from his brother.

Dean put his goggles on and posed, making sure to give Sam an exaggerated pout. "This is how you get chicks, Sammy." He joked.

At that, Sam laughed lightly and pulled on his own goggles. "This game better be worth it."

"Oh come on, y'know it will."

Dean turned the game on and gasped as the scenery changed from their living room to the inside of a bar. He glanced around, looking for his brother and grinned as he spotted Sam standing beside him. He looked down at himself; stunned to see that his outfit had changed from his star trek t-shirt and tracksuits to a grey shirt, leather jacket and old jeans. Sam was wearing a red plaid shirt. No change there, he thought to himself, a small smile playing on his lips.

"This is awesome!" Dean said, a little louder than needed. A few seconds later though, he gasped as he felt cool metal pressing against his exposed neck. He stole a glance to Sammy who was now being given a headlock from a guy with a mullet. What the fuck? Who even had those these days? "Hey You leave my brother alone." He growled.

"Ooh, thinks he's a tough guy." A female voice from behind him snickered. "Who're you guys anyways? We ain't seen you two before. You noobies?"

"Yeah, take a look at their wrists Jo, they've both got 3 lives and they don't exactly look like they know what they're doin'." Mullet guy replied.

Dean looked at his wrist where he saw what appeared to be a watch but in the middle it had a single digit which apparently was an indication of how many lives he had left. "Yeah, we're new, so what? You guys beta testers too?"

Jo slowly lowered the gun she'd had aimed at Dean's head and spun him around. "No kiddin'. I'm Jo, this is Ash." She said, pointing her thumb at the other who had now released Sam as well. As the youngest Winchester rubbed his neck, Jo added "There's no way your brother's 18, he shouldn't be here."

"I'm Dean, that's Sammy." Dean replied, eyeing her warily. Damn she was hot but she was still holding a gun and even though it wasn't real, there was no way he was going to flirt with her just yet, he didn't want to risk getting shot. "Hey, c'mon, the guy's 16, so what? No one pays attention to those rules anyways."

"Well, it's your lookout." Jo answered sadly. "I wouldn't want anyone playin' this game, s'pecially not a youngster like 'im."

"Why not? It's just a game, jeez…relax why don't ya?"

There were always people who took the games too seriously and they usually got on his nerves. The others seemed to know what they were doing though, so he decided was going to stick with both of them for the time being.

Jo gave him a weird look and turned her gaze on to Ash who just shrugged in response.

"Jo, we better get goin'. The next hauntin' starts in five and we don't wanna miss out again." Ash warned.

The blonde huntress gave him a small nod and indicated for the two noobies to follow. "You can come with, show us what you got but if you mess this up for both of us, you won't live to regret it."

Instead of finding her annoying, Dean felt quite the opposite, she had spunk and he loved girls who acted tough like her…plus she loved video games, bonus! "Trust me, we've got this sorted, right Sammy?" he said, receiving a nod and a smile from his younger brother. "Damn right."
