Jade laughed absentmindedly as Dean punched Sam in the arm. She was sitting
in the back of the Impala, Cass sitting on the left while she sat in the
middle. The seat on her right was empty, save for a couple knives. Cass
stared out the back window at the countryside whipping by, deep in thought.
Reaching over, Jade flicked Cass in the ear. He turned, confused, and Jade
giggled.
"You're not drunk, are you?" Sam asked, almost disbelievingly. They hadn't
bought her anything to drink, but no one put it above her to steal a beer
from Dean.
"No," she sighed, suddenly seeming sober. "Its just late, Sammy, and we've
on the road for hours, listening to the same five albums over and over
again, with a fallen angel in the back seat. Seriously man, I think I heard
him snore."
"I don't believe so," Castiel said, tilting his head like a puzzled cat. Sam
just shook his head when Dean laughed at the angel's confusion.
"So, when we gonna eat?"
"You're kidding me. It's the middle of the night, Jade."
Suddenly, a familiar smirk appeared next to her. A sarcastic voice spoke,
saying,
"You know Dean, she knows about the left over bacon cheeseburger."
The Impala swerved, barely missing a strange tree that seemed to appear out
of nowhere.
"Jeez, Gabriel, next time you could give a little warning!" Dean hissed,
upset about almost crashing his baby. Forget all the people inside, the
Impala almost became roadkill. As Cass turned to see his brother, Jade
became an angel sandwich, Castiel and Gabriel leaning over her, talking
quietly to themselves.
"Still here, you know," she wheezed, shoving the two away and moving
forward. Resting her head on Sam's seat, the Archangel-turned-Trickster
leaned over to Castiel behind her.
"Why don't you just move me?" Jade asked, and she had barely spoke when
Gabriel snapped his fingers and she was transferred to Sam's lap.
Sam jumped when the female hunter landed on him without warning.
"Gabriel!" he gasped. "I can see the headlines now- 'Man Killed by
Falling Girlfriend.'"
Apparently, Gabriel found this quite amusing, as he snapped his
fingers a second time, and a newspaper materialized in Jade's hands.
Sure enough, the headline read,
'Man Killed by Falling Girlfriend'
"I'm not that heavy, am I?" Jade laughed.
"No. 'Course not," Sam replied, wrapping his arms around her. She
reached down, turning the radio up when a Led Zeppelin song came on.
"Love this song," Dean said, and began singing.
"Really?" Sam asked. "'Cause I'm gonna ruin it for ya." And with that,
the car erupted with sound. Dean, singing the 'Ramble On,' which was
actually playing. Jade and Sam belting out a Bon Jovi song off key,
while Gabriel snickered and munched on a candy bar. Cass just sat
there, somehow unnerved by all the racket, and as he began to suggest
they quiet down, Dean turned the volume up as far as it would go.
"Ramble on!" Dean yelled, trying to block out his brother.
"I'm a cowboy!" Sam shouted back. It was turning into some sort of
stupid contest, where whoever was loudest wins- and the prize is a
sore throat.
"Now's the time!" Dean sang.
"On a steel horse I ride!" The young Winchester said it like a challenge.
"The time is now!" Dean countered.
"I'm wanted!" Sam flashed back, grinning.
"Wanted!" Jade added, screaming with her singsong voice. Gabriel
tilted his head back, unable to hold back his laughter.
"To sing my song!" Dean hollered.
"I'm a cowboy!" Sam replied.
"I'm going round the world!" The older Winchester turned to face his brother.
"To find my girl!" Gabriel said.
"I got the night on my-" Sam's voice suddenly cracked under the strain
of yelling.
"Um, guys," Cass said. No one paid attention. Instead, when the Impala
tumbled into darkness, the last thing he thought was that this was
something would that would split Lucifer's sides.
Dean's singing was cut off by the manliest screams he could manage-
which were rather girly- but, after all, his car had just gone off the
edge of... he didn't even know what. Jade's laughter stopped, and was
replaced by shrieking. Sam saw his life flash before his eyes,
Castiel's gruff voice shouting "Dean! Dean!" not even breaking him
from his thoughts. Gabriel stumbled over himself, wishing he had more
arms. His limbs were flailing, but he still managed to touch Jade and
Cass' forehead, sending them somewhere far away. But then Dean's
black car crashed into the ground.
