Hi! So just a heads up, Dean and Sam's ages are slightly altered in this. The Supernatural verse is around the Scarecrow episode (1x11) and in One Tree Hill it's just after The Search for Something More (1x08).

The coordinates that John left Sam and Dean this time led them to a small town on the coast of North Carolina, but there was nothing that screamed supernatural going on in the town, so they thought that maybe they would finally meet up with their father there. When they rolled into town, Dean parked at the first place for food he saw, reasoning with Sam that if they went in and ate, they could ask if anyone inside had seen John. So they walked into Karen's Café and were met by a few weird glances before a girl a bit younger than Sam hurried over to them, offering them menus and taking their orders.

"One bacon double cheese burger and a coke, and a Creaser salad with an iced tea, coming right up. If you need anything, my name is Haley, feel free to just call it out. Or catch Lucas, he'll help you if I'm busy." She said with a smile, pointing at the blonde boy who was sitting at the counter and smiled over at them and waved. Sam smiled back before he thanked Haley, and she went to the kitchen to put the order in. Sam turned to Dean, who was tapping his fingers on the table until he realized Sam was looking at him.

"What?" He asked, confused, before glancing around to make sure nothing weird was going on.

"Should we ask them now if they know dad?" Sam asked, and Dean rolled his eyes.

"Calm down, I promise we'll ask them if they know dad before we leave. It's not like they're going anywhere, they're our waiters." Dean replied, and Sam grumbled under his breath before he changed the topic, deciding that talking about anything else at that moment would keep him occupied.

Their food came out quickly and once they were done eating, Haley brought them their check and offered to check them out. Dean and Sam both walked up to the counter with her, and as Dean paid her, Sam pulled out a picture of John.

"Have you by any chance seen this man before?" He asked, which made Dean roll his eyes. Haley looked up at them, confused, before she looked back at the picture for a moment before shaking her head.

"I can't say that I have. Hey, Luke, come here!" She called, and Lucas stood and walked over.

"What's up?" He asked, and Sam turned the picture towards him while Haley answered.

"Have you seen this guy before? These boys are looking for him." She said, and Luke looked at the picture before shaking his head as well.

"Uh, no, sorry. Who is he?" He asked, looking back and forth between them.

"He's our dad." Dean answered, while Sam sighed ran his fingers through his hair. "He went missing a few weeks ago and we got a lead that he might be around here."

"You said you're looking for your dad? You're not more of Dan's kids, are you?" A slightly older guy asked from the seat next to where Lucas had been, before he got up and walked over as well.

"No, it's not Dan, Keith. I've never seen the guy before." Lucas answered. Keith frowned and held his hand out for the picture, taking it for a moment before nodding a little.

"I saw this guy a few weeks ago, he pulled into the shop because he needed an oil change. Said he could do it himself, but paid me in cash for the service and the oil." Keith said, before looking back up at Sam and Dean. "But I mean weeks ago, like three or four. Haven't seen him since. Sorry to not be more help."

Dean just looked at Sam before he smiled back at Keith, and Sam was quick to talk. "No, really, thank you. It's more help than you think; at least we have an idea on somewhere he's been." He said, before grinning at Dean, then looking back at Keith. "Do you know what direction he was heading in?"

"He headed west. I know that doesn't say much, since all there really is, is west. But he said he had a long ride ahead of him, so maybe Midwest? Maybe even west coast? I don't know other than that." Keith said, but Dean just nodded.

"Really, thank you so much for your help." He said, and Keith smiled and nodded.

"I hope you find him!" Haley called, and the boys just smiled and waved at her before heading out of the café.

As Dean went to push the door open, someone on the other side pulled it open and they both let out surprised 'whoas', before laughing. Dean was standing almost chest to chest with a beautiful brunette girl with dark eyes; that was the opposite of his usual type, but for some reason he was immediately taken by her. He moved out of her way, pushing Sam behind him and smiling back up at her.

"Ladies first." Dean said, and the girl grinned as she walked past him.

"Such a gentleman." She commented, and he winked at her playfully.

"Yeah, well, I try. My name is Dean." He said, while Sam huffed and rolled his eyes, walking around Dean out of the café. The girl smiled and crossed her arms over her chest.

"That's a little forward, don't you think? I didn't ask what your name was." She said, which made Dean grin.

"Yeah, well, I saved you the trouble of having to make up a name for the hot guy who held the door open for you today. Maybe you'll save me from having to make up a name for the beautiful woman I held the door open for?" He asked, trying to be smooth, while she let out a little laugh.

"That was kind of pathetic. I've heard better pickup lines from freshman at my school." She said, teasingly, before she held her hand out to him. "It's Brooke, by the way." She said, and he grinned widely.

"Well, it was lovely to meet you, Brooke. Maybe if I hang around town and see you again, we can spend some time together." He said, and she smiled and nodded with another little laugh.

"Again, awfully forward." She said, then paused for a long moment before she broke and shook her head. "But I'd like that. Only if we run into each other again, though." She said, and he nodded.

"You've got yourself a deal, Brooke." He said, and she rolled her eyes and turned her back to him, raising her hand to wave over her shoulder.

"Goodbye, Dean." She called, before glancing back to flash him a grin.

Dean laughed before he walked out of the café and over to the Impala, while Sam followed behind him shaking his head. When Dean opened the door to the car, he looked over the hood and grinned at Sam.

"Change of plans; we're staying in town for a few days. Grab your bag, we're getting a motel."
