[beginning of June Las Vegas, Nevada, Novak apartment]
Anna put the map of the United States on the table. "Everyone roll a die." Six dice-Anna's was blue, Gabe's was orange Lu's was red Castiels was green, rachel's was pink and Alfie's was white- fell on the table. Lu and Rachel both got six. "Alright, Lu, Rach, roll again." they rolled, Lu's stopped first, a five Rachel 's fell off the table and onto the floor, everyone bent down to see. It was a six. "YES.!" She cheered. "Wait- What'd I win.? because Gabe already drank the last soda"Rachel declaired. Gabe laughed. "Funny, no blondie you won the prixe of choosing where we move to." he explained. Rachel's
mouth popped open. "NO WAY... okay, okay uhm..." she closed her eyes and moved around and landed on florida. "Ehh, Florida's too hot" Castiel said. So rachel did it again and it landed on New York. "That's too crowded." Anna stated. Rachel Rolled her eyes. "I thought I was choosing.?!" she said. Lu smirked and rachel narrowed her eyes "What Lu.?" Lu didn't answer her, he just grabbed the map, thumbtacked it into the wall in the livingroom and dissapeared into the room, everyone was confused.

He came back out and Castiel laughed, He was holding a long tube-like thing with a black mouthpiece at the end and in his other hand he had a thin piece of metal with a yellow stopper on the end. Anna shook her head. "REALLY A blow dart gun.? SHE'S GOING TO HURT HERSELF.!" Anna said. but Gabe shook his head. "No anna banana, once the darts in the tube it cant come back through the other way. While Anna and gabriel were talking, Rachel was already breathing into the end of the gun, and the yellow pin stuck into the wall. Castiel walked up to the map. "Sioux Falls, South Dakota" he stated. Alfie
went back to the girls'room to go color and Rachel ran into the same room to go finish her game on the new xbox gabe bought. "alright, I'll check out the place on my laptop. I hope they have good candy shops there... or at least decent stores.! Gabe stated, running into the other room" the other three rolled their eyes. "Check out places hiring.!" Castiel said pouring himself some Grape kool-aid. Lu rolled his eyes again and turned the tv on, castiel, lu and anna had to be at work in an hour. Anna followed Gabriel in the room to check out schools while they're at it before she left.

"So; oh great one, when do we start packing.?" Lu asked ash he, Anna and Castiel all walked to the mall they all worked at different places, and anna went to work thirty minutes before Lu and Castiel, but they always walked together. A precaution they learned from years of hard life after their father started drinking a bit to much of 'The saviors blood' and started taking his anger out on his family. "Well I think at least two of us should go get a head start, go find a house, and a couple jobs before we all move down there and end up homeless." She said. Lu nodded. "So, who goes and who stays.?" Castiel asked. "Why dont the two oldest go now, since they actually get paid less and we stay and hold up the fort, I mean it's friday,weekends are always good to start out at a place. I can let the two munchkins play on the games in the arcade on my shift while cassie works his double, and next week we both have different schedules, aside from friday." Lu said, shrugging when Castiel looked at him. "That doesn't have a bad sound to it, i'll text gabe while I work and see if he likes the idea." Anna said, putting her hair up amd walking into Victoria's secret ready for her shift. Lu went off to the arcade early and Castiel bought a large coke from Great American Cookie-along with a small chocolate chip cookie- and headed off to the bookstore...

Six hours and twenty later and Castiel was exhausted, but he got good tips. Working at Chilis wasn't as bad as when he worked at Chuck-E-Cheese, but tonight was just not a good night, they were short staffed and castiel got stuck with at Least four Huge tables. one of them was mostly kids who decided it was okay to get up and knock a whole tray full of drinks on the floor, his shoes were still making a 'squish' sound everytime he walked, and hes pretty sure the lady at the last table he waited on grabbed his ass purposely and not for the fact that she 'thought it was her purse.'Castiel sighed as he took back another 'wrong' order from the rediculous table of what looked like tax accountants. "two more hours... keep it together." he reminded himself, before smiling and taking a new steak out to the moron.

He met up with Anna outside of the arcade and waited for Lu to finish giving out prizes and they spent the walk home trading stories. Anna said that she spent most of the time on the phone with gabriel, working out a plan, and that they'd be taking the car after grocery shopping for the week, to go to Sioux Falls and check it out. There were a few places for rent, one place in particular had three rooms and was in their price range if they all found jobs pretty quicky. Gabriel already found a pretty 'sweet' candy store inside a strip mall that he had sent in an application for-and if he got it would be making a
dollar more than what he is now at Dairy Queen-. and he found a few places Anna would like going to work at -The chick obsessed over clothes- Along with a library looking for new stockers and a car dealership ready to hire. Things were looking up, aside from the fact that castiels shoes were still wet with soda.

[late July; Harvelle's Roadhouse]
Dean was sitting with Jo at a Table in the back, for a 'bar' it was a pretty good place for the teenagers to hang out in town especially during the summer, and because now they only serve alcohol on the weekends, today was a Wednesday. Dean just got done eating a burger and explaning the new school concept to jo, and how well he WASN'T going to do, especially compared to sam Jo was preoccupied "DUDE, IF YOU KEEP STARING I'M GUNNA KNOCK YOUR LIGHTS OUT" Jo screamed at a guy about their age playing pool with a sucker in his mouth, the guy just smirked. Dean rolled his eyes, he was used to Jo getting the attention she got. She was petite, blond and had a fiery side Most guys wouldkill to be with. To bad she was catching for home team. She turned back "Sam's taking senior classes.? He's younger than us and i'm repeating junior classes, what a load of bull-.!"
"JOANNA BETH DON'T YOU START IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT YOU GOT KICKED OUT LAST YEAR.!" Dean and Jo busted out laughing, Jo is like a little sister to him, they kind of grew up together they bonded the first day they met, over thanksgiving when they were nine. Dean and Sam had been left with Bobby while their dad went out on a "job" for a few months hat was the year Ellen and bobby got married, and the year they had adopted Ash. Dean Hadn't really had time to sit down and check out everyone at Harvelles since he got here, the first day he came in he played Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd and Sure be cool if you did by Blake Shelton and got a couple tips, but now he's been saving for school supplies and crap Sam would need to get him through the year. "Hey, who's the redhead.?" Dean said, pointing to a girl who had walked over to the guy who was staring at Jo and popped him on the back of the head. Jo turned and immediately smiled. "That's Anna, our new waiter." she said. Dean lifted an eyebrow and smirked. "You Like her." "What-maybe... but I don't know much about her." Dean laughed. "I do, remember that summer, like three years ago when my dad drug us all -bobby, dean sam ash and jo- to vegas while Robin stayed home with Adam.?" Jo's eyes got wide. "No way..." She punched him in the arm. "Winchester you slept with my crush.? ugh... i hate you" she said, before bursting into laughter. "This is gunna be good" she said, before walking over to Anna. Dean muttered "son of a bitch" under his breath and turned around before they started walking over there, the guy she had with her tagged along. He checked his phone and sent a text to sammy[Dude, Vegas roll call. hurry up and get here.]

"Hello, Dean" Dean put on a smile and turned around. "Hey. Long time Anna." He said before facing the guy with the rediculous tootsie pop shirt and sucker in his mouth "Who are you.?" "This is my idiot twin brother, Gabe. Anyway, How's life.?" Anna said. Dean laughed, "it's better then it was. Yours.?" Anna sat down across from him and Jo sat on the other. "Fine, lots changed My dads locked up,-Dean cut in with "that's good" he remembered the bruises and the beat up look in her eyes that summer- got custody of my little sister, gabe got custody of my little brother. So we all rolled the dice and picked a
spot on the map and moved to it""Awesome. Me and Sammy just moved here too, I actually got stuck with my little brother too. my dad died and his mom bailed." dean said, and as if on que Sam walked in with Adam. Jo looked around Dean. "How many other siblings do you have, anna, i've only seen Gabriel.?" Anna laughed well, we have twin brothers a year younger than us, and the two that me and gabe have custody of. they're back in vegas until we get the money to move everyone out here and make sure it'll all work out." Dean got up and stood in front of Jo. "Can I help you Dean-o.?" she said. He rolled his eyes "you're sitting on my jacket." He said. "right." jo said before getting up and sitting in Dean's now empty seat. Dean was done with the akwardness, but aparently Anna wasn't. "So, Dean you ever figure out that question...?" she said as he bent down to get his guitar. He stood "Yeah, I swing both ways. you.?" he said, smirking again. Instead of Anna answering, gabe did. "Oh, she Totes catches for the same team, as do most of our lovely family" he said, winking-at sam, fuck-. Dean
ignored Gabriel and turned to Jo. "Told you. anyway, time for me to go play for the people." he picked up the guitar and started walking up to the stage at the front of the bar which was basically a tewlve by fifteen platform with a chair, an amp and mic that connected to the speakers that the jukebox also played on.

Ash chose that moment to walk in from the back The whole bar turned when they heard Adam yell ASH at the top of his lungs, and laughed as he squirmed out of Sam's arms and ran up to his best friend. For a guy with a mullet, he sure was good with kids. Noone there had kids and they sort of never saw anyone under 13 there before, but it didnt phase them. They mostly went back to what they were doing, Dean shook his head and laughed then gave a firm "no dropping him on his head" as ash threw adam in the air. Ash laughed and went to fix the system, Handing Adam to Ellen who no doubtebly took him to the Back office where Bobby was for the day.

Dean fixed the guitar and Mic and to a more comfortable position and strummed a few times, aimlessly then talked into the microphone "uh, I'm dean. and...-he looked out to the crowd of mostly teens and a few bikersin the back- well I know alot of you are probably not into this kind of music... But I'm going to play you one of my favorites, hope you enjoy."The guitar strums came through for a good fourty seconds before he started singing.

"Theirs a lady who's sure, all that glitters is gold...
and she's buying a stairway...
To heaven.
And when she gets there she'll know..."

[late July Novak's new household SF,SD]
When Lu and Castiel got to the house they didn't know what to think, honestly... It had a front yard, a back yard and a garage, they never had any of that before. Their old green 1999 Grand Am was parked in the driveway, and alfie was playing on the back porch while gabriel was in the garage walking around like a madman, Anna and Rachel were inside watching t.v. Castiel walked through the house, Everything in the livingroom was the same, with the addition of another couch. and a small desk on the wall that joined the livingroom and kitchen that had the laptop on it. the dining room was small, it had a new -from a yardsale- table with six chairs and had burgundy walls. The kitchen was pretty cool, they had a Dishwasher, a huge-about four time what they were used to- countertop and a fridge that didnt need to be taped closed. the hallway was as long as their old apartment was.

The first room to the left was Anna and Rachel's. it was kind of crazy, one side of the room was full of light blue objects, including the bed and the other side was pink. with the old dresser they had in there old house, with a tv and rachel's Xbox -she convinced Gabe to give it to her and she would clean his and Alfie's room and the livingroom For an entire month- the next room was to the right and it was the bathroom, It had a Brown curtain and matching accesories. The other two rooms were at the end of the hall. the one to the left was Gabe and Alfie's room. it was smaller than the girls, but had a closet -with no doors- the bunk beds, a small orange Plastic 4-drawer storage bin with the labels [Gabe's clothes][Gabe's candy-that one had a lock-][Alfie's clothes][alfie's coloring stuff.] there was another plastic tub full of toys under a flatscreen tv and a ps3 gabe bought from a pawn shop. Castiel and Lu's was actually the biggest room, Anna and Gabe had told him it was because they spent two weeks alone with the kiddoes while Anna and gabe got a break. but really Castiel knew it was because Anna prefers being closer to the front door, and Gabe always had a thing about small spaces, when they were little he would hide in the kitchen cuboards-when they had them-. They had the bunkbeds too, Castiel's green and black comforter was on the bottom, lucifer's red one was on the top, they had a closet, -Lu called the left side- and they had a black drawer compartment like Gabe and alfie and someone-they suspected gabriel- already wrote stuff on the drawers,[Castiel's clothes][Castiel's art][Lu's clothes][Lu's knives and paraphernalia] "At least he spelled paraphernalia right" Lu said, laughing. on the wall by the door was a flatscreen tv and a ps3 hooked onto it, identical to Gabe's. Castiel rolled his eyes... "Gabe shouldn't be allowed to have credit." he said before they started unpacking their clothes and other stuff.

[beginning of August, Office max]
"You realize theirs like, only three weeks until school starts right Dean.?" Sam asked as he threw a new bookbag in the basket Dean was pushing around with Adam in it. "Yes, boy genious. but i dont see the point in buying EVERYTHING now." Sam rolled his eyes and threw pens, notebooks and packages of paper in the basket. "Dean, why do you have to be so stubborn, I already told you why. So we don't have to keep coming back. it's easier this way." Dean rolled the basket onto another isle "OOOH dean, can i have new colors? please please pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" adam said. Dean looked up and sighed, Sam dissapeared on another isle. "Awwh c'mon Dean-o Buy the kid some colors." Dean turned around. "oh, awesome." he said. "aww dont be so mean, i'm not THAT bad" Gabe said, taking a bite out of snicker's bar. Anna appreared behind him, with a basket with a kid about the same age as adam in it and a little girl beside her "Hey Dean, school shopping.?" she asked. Dean had gotten past the weirdness and now realized that they were capable of being friends. Dean laughed. "Sam is, I'm just here to make sure we don't go bankrupt." he said, grabbing a sixty-four pack crayons and handing it to Adam. "so, who are these two.?" Dean asked pointing at the kids. when a blonde guy with light blue eyes and a motorhead t-shirt on camearound the corner "Oh, well this is Rachel, and that munchkins alfie. oh, and i'm Lucifer." Dean raised his eyebrow. "Your parents named you after the devil?" Sam said, making an appearance with a plastic bin with a lid, Dean didnt even bother asking again. "The name lucifer actually means light-bringer. and everyone calls him Lu, he just likes to see people's reasctions when he say's that." Came a rough voice from the other side of the isle. "cassie.!"lu said enthusiastically"come out of hiding.!" "I'm busy finding pens, Lucy." the voice said "OOOH, castiel developed a sense of humor.!" gabe said. "One cannot DEVELOP something like a SENSE of humor, gabe." Gabe, Anna, Lu And rachel all rolled their eyes.

"well, guys we have to get going, I'll see you at Harvelle's tomorrow Anna. Bring the kids, they can have fun with Ash in the back" Dean said, pushing the basket to the counter. "Hey Dean-o.!" The girl behind the counter said. "Hey Meg. How's hell.?"Dean said. Meg laughed and Tossed Her black waivy hair behing her shoulders and looked into his green eyes with her own choclate brown ones "You should come around more often so i can make you run like hellhounds are chasing you" Dean rolled
his eyes. "No thanks sugar, plus, arent you like some cheer-slut.?its time for school, dont you need to whip out your pom-poms or some shit?" he asked, smirking. "Cute, but no, unlike the girls you date, I dont drop my panties for every wanna-be badass with a leather jacket and a muscle car." "Guys, enough with the fucked up flirting, we have other stuff to do today Dean i'm almost late for work." Sam said.

Twenty minutes later sam was apologizing to his boss about being late for work while Dean and Adam sat in a corner of the ice cream shop, Dean eating a cherry sundae with crushed ghram crackers on top and Adam had a chocolate covered fruit exploision, whitch included vanilla ice cream strawberries, cherries, pineapple, and banana chunks all covered in chocolate.'well, at least it has fruit in it' Dean thought. The door to the shop dinged and Dean turned and saw Gabe, Lu Rachel and Alfie walk in. "Oh what are you staling me Gabe.?" Dean said laughing. Lu and Rachel went to the counter and order while gabe and alfie walked up to dean. "Oh, no dean-o I'm stalking the jolly cotton-candy giant that just so happens to be your brother" Gabe said with a wink at Sam -Who turned slightly pink- over his shoulder. Dean rolled his eyes. "Whatever floats your boat, anyway I wanted to tell you Saturday I'm having a lets-get-together-and-bullshit thing in my basement, everybodys invited" Gabe smiled. "We'll be there with bells on" he said, before walking to the door and holding it open for Lu and rachel who had what looked like everythig on the menu in their hands.

[Beginning of august, Joshua park]
Castiel sat on a wooden bench Watching Rachel push Alfie on the swing. Although he was in his Favorite Grey long-sleeved shirt with the andel wings on the back, his favorite black jeans and grey and black converse, He felt naked. He Forgot his trenchcoat in the car, and Gabe and Anna had taken it to go find another car because with four working adults and Everyone but Alfie in school they really needed another vehicle. He leaned back on the bench and sighed. "If you're really that depressed about being at a park, you shouldn't come to one" A voice said from behind him said, he turned and saw the pretty girl that worked at office max 'mel or something' walking up from behind the trees. She sat beside him and opened a Mountain Dew "I'm not depressed, just feeling off." he stated as she took a drink. He turned away from her to see rachel talking to a Dark skinned Kid that looked about her age and Alfie playing with some kid in the sand. He wondered vaguely if he should go pull a 'big brother' act on the kid rachel was talking to.

"I'm Meg, by the way.. you are.?" the girl said, snapping Castiel out of his thoughts. "I'm Castiel" he said, sending her a shy smile before his phone buzzed in his pocket. It was a text from Lu[Just got home. where r u guys.?] Castiel replied.[Me, rach and alf are at the park. a&G went to find a new vehicle. bbs.]Before pocketing his phone again. "Well, you and your family are new here, huh.?" meg said, playing with thelabel on her soda bottle and looking down. Castiel laughed. "Yeah, it's been a hell of a ride to here." He said, looking back to see herlooking confused, but she didnt say anything for about thirty seconds, then she said "Well, i've lived here my whole life. it's not a bad place, my dad owns the gym" Castiel was amused at this. "You mean Hells Bells.? The one with the huge horned Demon-thing on the top.?" she smiled wider. "that's the one, so if you need anything... like a personal chauffer to show you around, I'll be more than glad to do it. anyway... i'm late for work. We should trade digits so i know when you want that tour of our lovely town" Meg said, castiel smiled and handed her his phone. She took it, dialed her phone -Whitch rang with Joan Jett's I love Rock and Roll- and then hung it up and put herself in his contacts. Meg smiled as she gave him his phone back and stood up. "See you later Clarence" she said He rolled his eyes "It's Castiel" he stated. "I know" was her only reply before she dissapeared back into the woods by the park. Ten minutes later gabe pulled up in a 2004 black Four door f-150 extended cab -with a slight lift, chrome features and a Loki bobble-head on the dashboard- and handed the keys to him "This officially belongs to me, but you're the other person
on the insurance and you get to drive me to work. Now."

"Cassie's got a girlfriend.!" Gabe said three days later when they were all eating Church's chicken in the livingroom watching Beautiful creatures -Rachel had picked the movie- and eating dinner. Lu smirked and said coily stealing a fry Anna said "I don't think screwing her in the back of her daddy's mercedez counts as a relationship" "LUCIFER.!" Castiel said after getting over a mini coughing fit -He'd been drinking the last of his 7up at the time- Rachel gasped, alfie just looked confused and anna and gabe were laughing. "What.? did you really ask her to be your girlfriend cassie.?" gabe said after he finally stopped laughing. Castiel rolled his eyes. "For the love of- I believe it was implied.! and for the last time, my name is CASTIEL. Now, can we shut up and watch the movie.?" everyone simultaneously turned towards the t.v and didn't say anything else until the credits rolled, then Lu spoke up. "So, is her sister single?" Castiel rolled his eyes, "Whitch one.?" he said but Before Lu could say, Anna answered. "Guess you'll see Saturday. we're all going to hang out at the winchesters, and from what i hear they'll both be there." Lu smirked. "Awesome." he said before picking up his set of keys to the Grand am and walking out. Castiel rolled his eyes, threw his and Lu's trash away and went to his room to finish drawing the picture he had been working on since he got back from dropping off Gabe three days ago, Lu didn't show back up until one in the morning when castiel almost had his drawing of Meg done and was laying in bed texting her and singing Bully by shinedown. Lu looked at him, rolled his eyes and layed down. "Sing something i can go to sleep to" He suggested. Castiel rolled his eyes, took a drink of his grape soda cleared his throat and began singing Lu's second Favorite song.

"I've been trying to do it right...

I've been living a lonely life,

I've been sleepin here instead...

I've been sleepin in my bed,

I've been sleepin in my bed..."

A/N;Lot's of eye rolling in this thing, oh my. anyway, thoughts.? no.? *le tearss* NOONE LOVES ME. No pie for people who
don't love me.
