A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN
Back home in the bunker, Sam has been ordered into bed and Dean "Florence" Winchester is mother-henning his socks off, and not
leaving Sam alone very often. Alone time usually leads to thinking, then dwelling kicks in. Bad habits normally, thinking and dwelling.
-oOo-
"Dean?"
"Hmm?"
"What do you think it is?"
"What? What what is?"
"Sorry. I mean The Big Empty."
"Oh, that...Well...Since you ask, I'd say it's probably big, an' it's more than likely empty."
"Hilarious. I would'a laughed, but I might'a pulled a stitch...Dean, I'm bein' serious here, I've been thinkin'..."
"Kill me now!"
"Dude! Not even slightly funny!"
"You're right, my bad...Ok, I'm listenin'. Tell me, what's this amazin' thought you've had?"
"Well...I found myself thinking about how it wouldn't be anymore...Would it?"
"Give me strength! Help me out a little Sam? Could be the drugs, but most of this conversation seems to be happenin' inside your own head, an' I think I must'a blown the fuse on my mind readin' skills back there at the hospital...It wouldn't be what for chrissakes?"
"It wouldn't be TBE. The Big Empty! It couldn't be, could it? Not if either you or me or both of us were there. You with me now?...It would be something different."
"Ok, I get it, and no, it couldn't honestly be called "TBE" anymore, so I guess they'd have to give it a new name...Maybe call it "The Big Winchester's Place"? Or "The Winchester's Big Place"? Or how about this? "The Place of Big Winchesters"?"
"Think I prefer the sound of the first two. Anyway, then I thought, once one or both of us are there, on the inside, stoppin' it from bein' TBE anymore, what's to say our spirits, souls or whatever, couldn't change it? Know what I mean? We'd be the very first ones ever to be sent there. So, what if we found out that being there meant we could alter it? Start to make it into somethin' totally brilliant?"
"Hang on Samantha, gimme a minute. ...xxx... You know? Those tablets you're on might be doin' you some good. Check this. You're theory is the reason it's the Big Empty is only 'cos it was left that way when God, or whoever, simply didn't get round to fillin' it up?"
"That's right!"
"So, you're thinkin' that after one or both of us is sent there, 'cos it's changed from bein' empty anyhow, it might mean we'd be the ones who get to fill it up? However we wanted to?"
"Yeah, exactly. Why the Hell not?...I've already decided, one of the first things I'd put in would be a clean, clear blue ocean, long stretches of soft, sandy beaches...And rock pools full of life."
"Not sure if you get rock pools on soft, sandy beaches bro'."
"You do if that's what I wanted to have."
"Good point...There'd be a bar. It'd be the most awesome classic rock bar anywhere, topless barmaids, and it'd have just about every kinda drink, includin' the greatest tastin' coffee. I'd site on the edge of our beach. And they'd serve food, the best you've ever tasted, like the greatest cheeseburgers. They'd bake fresh pies to order, whatever kind you wanted. It'd have a pool table, a giant juke box, an' over in one corner? I'd have a machine that dispensed M&M's by the bucket full."
"I'd make sure it also had the rarest an' most exotic fruits; there'd be the biggest choice of every kind of salad, an' you'd be able to invent your own. Andmy machine would have all the best, most nutritiously healthy, snacks bars"
"Aw, see that? Now you've gone an' lowered the tone Sammy."
"Jerk...Inland, I'll have beautiful, majestic snow capped mountains, there'll be stunnin' lakes an' fabulous, fantastical, fugly free forests to explore.
"That's great, so long as you know I'm gonna be summonin' up some awesome smooth, wide open roads that'll go up, round an' through your mountains an' lakes an' forests for miles. Perfect for you, me and my baby to cruise, windows open, music blastin'. I'm makin' sure my Bab's there by-the-way."
"You won't hear me argue. How about this? At the end of one of our roads, we set the roadhouse? An' we gotta site Bobby's place close by us somewhere."
"Along with Bobby I assume?"
"Obviously with Bobby! Even if it means we have to break him outta Heaven to get him there. I'm bettin' he'd much rather be in our place."
"I know he will. We can all go fishin' some of those lakes together...What about women? We gotta include some hot babes little brother."
"Sure. No problem...I say we invite Charlie, Ellen and Jo...And Jess."
"The best of the rest. If they say yes, we're gonna have to sneak into Heaven more than once...Unless it's like your rock pools, we want them here, they wanna be here, so here they are. ...How about Madison? You gonna invite her?"
"I'd like to, I think. Just as a friend. But I'll have to sound it out with Jess first, make sure she understands an' she's good with it."
"Sensible move. We need to think about puttin' together an invitation list. Sam? What about mom?...And dad?"
"Yes! Definitely! Both of them, Mom and Dad, together. That's gonna be an incredible thing! ...xxx... Hey, Dean?...I've just had another thought. Tell me if I'm wrong...But it seems to me that TBE's startin' to sound an awful lot likeour kinda Heaven."
"I'm right there with you baby brother. I'm right there...With you."
