"I am going to kill him"
They'd found the two empty room that Gabriel had somehow acquired for them and not only were Cas and Dean sharing but Dean's side of the room was pink and covered in My Little Pony. No doubt a little surprise from Gabriel. Cas' side was pretty plain.
Gabriel had happily deposited them in their dorm rooms and pointed out that he'd decorated it for them. Dean had still been nursing the hand he'd practically broken on his stupidly solid face when he realised exactly what Gabriel had provided for him. Then with a rustle of wings Gabriel had been gone and Dean had been left muttering curses and death threats to an empty packet of air where'd he'd just been stood moments before.
"We'll head out and get you a new one as soon as possible" Sam assured him but the little bitch was laughing so hard as he spoke that there were tears streaming out of the side of his eyes. Suddenly Sam having a vagina wasn't the most amusing thing to come out of this whole situation apparently.
Dean strode forward and picked up a corner of the bed spread with a disgusted expression on his face as he eyed it up "It's fucking pink! And it has god damn ponies on it"
"Oh stop being a jerk Dean. Do you have any idea how hard it is peeing sitting down? Because it's hard and I almost ending up peeing down my leg when I forgot so shut your whining" Sam snapped at him gesture wildly around his crotch and if Dean hadn't still been surrounded by ponies he'd had found himself laughing at the expression of pure repulsion on his brother's new face.
"God you're even more of a bitch now you have tits" Dean muttered putting the bed spread down and moving to inspect the bed side light that seemed to project little prancing ponies on the wall when he turned it on. Dean made a note to smash it to pieces the first chance he got.
"At least I don't have pre-teen boy band hair" Sam snapped back and Dean immediately reached up to push the stupid bangs out of his face. He made another mental note to go and get a haircut as soon as he found out where there was a hairdresser on Campus.
"Bitch"
"Jerk"
"I fail to understand how this is helping. Gabriel has left us here so we need to start finding out how to fit in as soon as possible. There is a mixer on tonight, some kind of battle of the bands. We could there and try and find out more about where we are" Cas noted as he continued to inspect his side of the room and the clothes that Gabriel had left for him. He seemed a little putout that there wasn't a single thing in there that resembled either his suits or trench coat.
"Really Cas? You're just going with this?" Dean asked him and Cas nodded in response.
"I have no powers. I fail to see what else we can do till Gabriel comes to his senses and allows us to return home and to our proper bodies"
"Gabriel come to his senses? God, we're doomed. If that's what we're waiting for then we're going be stuck here till we die" Dean groaned and dropped down onto his bed and clutched his head in his hands. This was turning into such a massive cluster fuck and it didn't look like he was going to wake up and find out this was all a horrid nightmare any time soon either.
"Or you could, you know, get it on with Cas. That seemed to be the main thing that Gabriel wanted" Sam proposed with a suggestive glance between the two of them and Dean jumped quickly to his feet.
"I am not having sex with a dude, Cas or not"
"Don't be selfish Dean, take one for the team" Sam lectured and Dean was thrilled to learn that this female Sam could pull off his bitch face with just as much bitchyness as the male counterpart.
"Blow me" Dean mumbled.
"No the idea is that you blow him" Sam replied pointing his finger towards Cas where he was still stood on the other side of the room, his expression unreadable. Dean was annoyed that he was the only here making any effort to defend their friendship and stop everyone attempting to force them to have sex. Cas didn't even seem to bothered that everyone was implying he was gay or that he was gay for Dean in particular but then again the guy probably didn't even know what was going on.
"Fuck off"
"Again not the idea. You should be fuc…." Dean slapped his hand across his brother's mouth before he could continue with the rest of his sentence. He did not need to ever hear his brother bringing up the idea of him having sex with Cas. Not if he ever wanted to retain any trace of sanity that he still had left.
In fact he never wanted any to suggest that he fuck his way out of a situation with Cas. He did not need that particular mental image any more than a few disturbing dreams had already provided over the past few years.
"I hate you" Dean informed Sam bitterly who was having far too much fun for Dean's liking. Suddenly having to pee standing up wasn't a hardship when compared to the fact that Gabriel was expecting Dean to have big gay sex with an ex-Angel.
"Look are we going to go to this mixer or are you two going to insist on continuing to argue like children?" Cas asked the two of them as he glanced back and forth between them wearing an expression that looked spuriously like Sam's patented bitchface. So it seemed that while Dean had taught him how to swear, his brother had taught him how to act like a little bitch. God, they were so going to hell again or whatever when all of this was over.
"We need fake names" Sam eventually piped up as Dean sat back down on the bed behind him. He just wanted to curl up and sleep till all of this went away but no dream would be as crazy as this. Zach had been trying to teach him the message that he needed to say yes to Michael to save the future when he'd sent him on his last jaunt into the future and now Gabriel was using the same trick to apparently impart on him the fact that his future happiness rested on boning Cas.
"Well funbags you can be Samantha and we'll be Jensen and Misha. May as well pay homage to the last fucking alternate reality that we got blasted off to" Dean suggested as he watched Sam's eyebrow curve up at the mention of his new nickname. Sam could suck it up for now after the last few minutes of him trying to encourage him to blow an Angel.
"At least Gabriel has given us supplies and sufficient funds to manage on for a few months" Cas commented as he looked through the cupboards of the room and in the wardrobe. There was some loose money and three bank cards and details of a bank account that the three of them could use though Dean had no idea where Gabriel was getting his money from. But then he'd once convinced a poor guy that he'd slow danced with an Alien so he figured that he could pretty much pull of anything he wanted to.
"Hopefully he's given us enough to get wasted because I am not going to be able to manage this sober" Dean informed Cas and eyed up the loose change that Gabriel had left them. If they were going to go to a mixer and socialise he was going to get into the College spirit and get very, very drunk.
"Hey Dean? Do you think that Gabriel was right about you and Cas having a kid here?" Sam asked eventually and Dean turned to look at him with a dubious expression on his face.
"And how is that supposed to have happened? I don't think anyone is going to let us adopt and frankly unless there's a magical stork fairy just dropping 'em off I think there's a pretty slim chance" Dean asked him and Sam simply shrugged in return. Dean knew that there were loads of those fan theories out there were dudes somehow knocked up other dudes but that didn't exactly happen in real life.
"You never know"
"Just be quiet and go and shave your legs or something" Dean ordered and Sam stuck his middle finger up at him as he stood to go inspect the room next door. Dean was just about to go about dismantling as much pink crap as possible when he heard a shout from Sam's room.
"Oh fucking Gabriel!"
Both Dean and Cas rushed to see what had happened and when they exploded through the door Dean laughed so hard at the sight in front of him that he actually nearly choked on his own laughter. Every inch was decked out in twilight themed décor from the creepy posters on the wall to the Team Edward bed spread.
Suddenly My Little Ponies didn't seem so bad in comparison to having some creepy ass sparkling fairy staring down at you while you slept.

Serah Winchester was exhausted and she was not ready to face whoever was banging on her door.
She still hated the fact that she had to live in dorms till the end of Sophomore year. It had been introduced because it improved graduation levels or some shit but it basically meant that when she just wanted to bury her head in her pillow and sleep she couldn't. She knew her roommate and best friend was out at class for most of the day and Serah wanted nothing less then to be forced out of bed. Cheer practice had dragged way on into the night as Sariel all but lost her mind trying to get them ready for the competition in a few weeks time and it felt like every single muscle in her body ached.
Sure she liked cheerleading enough and it was the cheer programme that was providing her scholarship in the first place but she was learning to resent the fact that she was now expected to base her entire college experience around it. Even if it meant that her dads could help save to send Mary to Medical school. Mary had only come to Penn State because Serah hadn't been able to got in anywhere else when she'd have been easily able to get into any Ivy League school she'd wanted; if making sure her sister got the future she deserved Serah would do high kicks and tumbles till she collapsed.
"Coming" she muttered as she dragged herself out of bed. She was still in the white tee and sweat pants she'd changed into after practice and her hair was a mess of all kinds of tangles and knots but she literally couldn't care less.
She yanked open the door to reveal a grinning Sophia West. Serah had known Sophia most of her life as she was her cousin's best friend and when Sophia had learnt that Serah had no real clue what to do when she got to college Sophia had decided to tag along and wing it with her.
"You're late" Sophia informed her and all but barged into her room. Sophia was all blonde and bright smiles but she was real a nightmare when she wanted something from you.
"I told you I wasn't going. My whole body feels like I've been slammed into a concrete wall and all I want to do is sleep" Serah informed her reminding her that she'd blown off her days classes to recover from the night before, not to spend the afternoon going shopping for some party that she didn't even want to go to.
Friday was quickly turning into her only day off – they had practice Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and Saturday was put aside for games and competitions. And really she didn't even really have it off. She was usually expected to go to some party with the rest of the squad and the various sport teams on Campus. It wasn't that she didn't like her squad mates because she mostly could get along with them and a few of them she was pretty close to but she spent far too much time with them as it was and she was loosing track of the amount of handsy assholes she'd been forced to slap down at those kind of parties. Just because she was a cheerleader did not mean that she wanted to be groped by any drunken asshole just because he was competent with a baseball bat.
"But I promised Caleb we'd go" Sophia told her and turned the full extent of her wide-eyed gaze up at Serah and Serah sighed knowing exactly what Sophia was playing at.
Caleb was a jerk that Sophia had met in her History 101 class who, as far as Serah could see, had the brains to get into any college he wanted to but preferred to spend his days smoking pot and banging whatever had a pulse and crossed his path. Caleb was a jerk but he was also apparently infatuated with Sophia who at last count couldn't really stand him. However Serah found the entire situation amusing, and was secretly rooting for the two and mostly found that despite the pot and the roam-a-cock, Caleb was an okay kind of guy. Sophia knew that Serah wouldn't want to leave Sophia to let him down and she cursed the fact that her friend knew her so well.
"Whatever. Let me get dressed at least" Serah informed her and Sophia clapped, kissing her squarely on the nose and grabbing her phone from her pocket. Serah grabbed her shower bag and headed off down the corridor.
She didn't mind communal showers; she knew for a fact that she had a banging body and it wasn't like she hadn't done her fair share of skinny dipping or stripping in truth or dare in highschool. But she was tired of walking in to people shagging in there, especially when she wasn't getting any herself on any regular basis so she always made sure to make sure the coast was free of horny teenagers before she jumped into a shower.
As she washed her hair she noticed a massive bruise on her thigh from where someone had kicked her in the shin the night at practice before therefore ensuring that she'd be wearing jeans for the party. It wasn't like she wasn't already mostly a jeans girl anyway outside of the squad; she already spent far too much time in tiny skirts and skin-tight tops for her to choose the same for her casual wardrobe.
Sophia was sprawled out on her bed watching TV on her laptop and eating a pop tart when she got back. Lil still wasn't back from class though she guessed she'd see her at the party that night. Like her sister, Lil had had no problem choosing her Major in first year and unlike Serah and Sophia actually seemed enthusiastic about it. Sure she was a Psyc Major and enjoyed trying to get into others people's headspace far too much but at least she wasn't stuck still taking Intro classes and doing an Exploratory Major which basically translated into knowing jack-shit about what you wanted to do like she did. But she needed to get her ass in gear and pick something instead of just taking as many classes as she liked and hoping something would stick.
"Help yourself" Serah muttered sarcastically and Sophia sent her a grin around the mouthful of pop-tart she was chewing down. For such a feminine girl, Sophia could be as disgusting as they come when she wanted to be.
She quickly dropped her towel and dragged on some clothes. She'd seen Sophia naked a bunch of times and vice versa and Sophia didn't even gaze away from whatever she was watching on the laptop when Serah was getting changed. Serah was quite aware that her friends had few boundaries but she liked it like that; life was simple enough when most things were fair play and nothing much was taken too seriously or over-analysed.
"Okay, let's move if you're forcing me out on my day off" Serah informed her and all but dragged her up off the bed and out of the door. Sophia protested and reminded her that it wasn't her day off, she was just skiving and Serah may or may not have pinched her in the leg to shut her up.
As always she felt her face split into a grin when she laid eyes on her baby in the Dorm parking lots. She'd thought her Pops was going to cry the day he'd helped her unpack her things for college and handed her over the keys to the Impala. Serah had always been closer to her Pops than to her Dad simply because when it came down to it they were scarily alike in personality and interests. When Mary had been sat inside reading books and learning to speak French with their Dad, she'd been outside learning how to do oil changes and showing her Pops the new tricks she'd learnt on her bike. Not that she hadn't loved her Dad too, because she had of course. They just didn't simply have much in common; he wasn't exactly the kind of person who waned to discuss endless merits of Led Zep verses Foo Fighters or hear all about her new bitchin' high score in whatever shooter she'd been playing that month just as much as Serah would rather shoot her brains out than discuss the back catalogue of some dead author or the academic merits of some new theological ideology like her sister and Dad always were. Of course they shared a love of trash TV, the kind where everyone had a sob story and they was always some kind of fist fight but her Dad would kill her if she shared that titbit of information with the rest of the family.
O f course that had all been before the big blow-up just before she'd started College but she wasn't even going to think about that because it always caused her to be in a filthy mood and the last thing she wanted to do was piss off Sophia by being a grumpy bitch all afternoon.
The two of them sang along to the radio, at one point causing the woman in the car in the next lane to shoot them an alarmed glance as they danced around enthusiastically to Foreigners First Time, and were soon in town. Serah let Sophia drag her around shops musing enthusiastically about sequinned mini-dresses and knee length boots.
"Just try something on" Sophia ordered her and Serah took the offered dress from her friend. Sure it was nice enough but Serah didn't do frills and much to Sophia's barely concealed disgust she bought herself skin-tight navy jeans covered in white stars and a new tee with the logo of the TV show Supernatural emblazoned across the front that they all usually watched on a Sunday night when she'd gotten home from her meets. She knew all about the show's origins and it made her laugh. Sophia was not as amused.
"You look like a Satanist" Sophia informed her eyeing up the bag in Serah's hand as if it had personally done her some great wrong.
"The Pentagram actually provides protection against evil spirits Soph" Serah pointed out and Sophia rolled her eyes and went back to debating which practically non-existent slip of material to wear underneath her practically non-existent slip of a dress that she'd bought a few shops ago.
Serah couldn't blame her though; Sophia was hot and quite happy to flaunt it to her advantage.
"Still you look like one of those obsessed fan-girls who thinks everyone with a dick is banging everyone else with a dick" Sophia continued and Serah had to bite the inside of her lip to stop herself from bursting into laughter.
The names had been changed but she was quite aware of the amount of people who were convinced that the older hunterwas banging theAngel of the Lord, on the show including their friend Ella and it annoyed Sophia to no end because she was simply sick of the internet assuming everyone on every show was secretly gay. Serah wondered how she'd react when she found out how the show was going to end; with the hunter becoming very gay-for-an-angel-of-the-Lord.
Sure that had all gone a little off track but that was after the happy ever after in the books and so really who would really care that it had gone to shit at a later date when it had all been wrapped up in such a neat, happy little bow?
"Well, your dress makes you look like a stripper" Serah shot back and Sophia stuck her tongue out at her and fashioned the thong she was inspecting into a make-shift catapult and shot it directly into Serah's face earning that a scowl from one of the shop assistants.
When Sophia was finally shopped out they swung by their favourite café to grab something to eat. Lucas was working and Serah waved to him and sent him a bright smile. Lucas was one of Mary's best friends and the two were often found joined at the hip. They'd met at an LGBTA meeting; Lucas was the only openly gay member of the College Swimming team and Mary had headed along as an Ally with Hana who was her roommate and gay.
"What can I get you two lovely ladies?" he asked them as he sat down winking at them and as per usual Serah pondered the fact that he couldn't get a boyfriend. Lucas was built and lovely to boot but he was proving to be as unlucky in love as she was.
"I'll have a double cheese with fries and onion rings and she'll have the Chicken salad, no dressing"
Serah sent Sophia the biggest scowl she could manage when her friend ordered for her. It wasn't bad enough that she'd been put on the squad's stupid diet as soon as she'd joined up in Freshman year but for Sophia to order her favourite food in the world as well. It smelt gorgeous as it arrived and Serah narrowed her eyes at she picked at the plain chicken and lettuce on her plate with her fork.
"If you keep eating like that you'll get fat" Serah told her bitterly and Sophia laughed taking a huge bite from her burger and dripping ketchup down her front.
"No I won't and even if I did who cares? Men like a girl with something to grab onto" Sophia shot straight back and Serah couldn't even argue with her point. Sophia would be beautiful no matter what size she was and Serah knew deep down inside that if she was allowed to eat what she wanted she'd end up being one of those 60 stone recluses who had to lifted out of their houses by a crane when their heart eventually gave out.
Serah, like her Pops, loved food and it made the whole deprivation of anything even resembling tasty even more painful. Fucking rabbit food.
Once they'd finished and Serah had munched through yet another plate of tasteless shit she grabbed her bag and went up to pay Lucas. Sophia was devouring her slice of pie she'd ordered for desert with an almost orgasmic pleasure and it had proved too much for Serah to bare.
"You coming tonight?" Lucas asked her and she nodded "Micah will be there"
Serah figured that Lucas meant that piece of news to be good but she had to fight down a groan. Micah was one of Lucas' teammates and as beautiful as he was he'd only ever been intended as a one night stand when she'd first started College. But he'd decided that she was the best thing since sliced bread and been trying to win her over ever since. Sure it didn't help that she kept sleeping with him, because she sure as hell wasn't getting it anywhere else, but she certainly didn't want anything else from him and there was no way out of the situation now without being a huge bitch. And regardless of the fact that he was really just a pretty idiot who was as dumb as a rock he was a nice guy and he didn't deserve to be used be someone like she had been doing.
"I'll see you there" she told Lucas with a grin and grabbed Sophia on the way out who sent Serah a self satisfied smile as she patted her full stomach with a lazy hand. If she'd been on her own Serah couldn't say that she wouldn't have been reduced to licking the crumbs from Sophia's plate. It had been a full year since she'd had pie and she had not learnt not to miss it as everyone had assured her she would.
Lil was back when Serah let herself in and was busy applying some kind of mouse to her hair. Lil was one of Serah's favourite people in the world; she was lovely and kind with a wicked sense of humour and the virginities of what seemed like half of the Freshman boys under her belt. She was the best friend you could have and also the worst enemy but Serah was pretty sure without her enthusiastic support and expertise she'd had packed in the whole college experience long ago.
"You better get that ass of yours in gear, we're going in like an hour" Lil told her with a smile and Serah scoffed at the idea that it could ever take her an hour to get ready for anything. It wasn't like she was going to have another shower and her outfit took all of five seconds to get on.
Her hair was a mass of dark curls and completely out of control but there was nothing she could do with that. As her Pops always said it seemed like bed hair was in fact an inheritable trait at least in their family. Serah took all of another ten seconds to put on her make-up, a little mascara, eyeliner and blush and then spent the next hour sat on her bed watching Lil prune and primp with efficiency of a Sergeant Major and watch videos of cats playing various musical instruments on the internet.
"Whose coming tonight?" Serah asked as she made her way out of the room and locked the door behind her friend.
"I think everyone. Even Mary is coming out but then there are some of those hippy, indie bands playing so it isn't a surprise that Lucas finally got that girl to stop studying and let her hair down" Lil answered and Serah nodded. Her twin was very ambitious and thoroughly focused on her work to the point where outside of the clubs she was a member of she rarely socialised or took time off. But she was a fan of Indie shit as Serah would call it and so it didn't surprise her that she was coming out. Even if this whole Battle of the Bands thing would be packed and Mary wasn't exactly fond of overpowering music and crowds.
"You look nice by the way Lil" Serah told her and Lil grinned happily. It wasn't a lie. Lil always looked nice and Serah was a little envious of her even if she would never spent that much time on her appearance even if it meant she could be as beautiful as her best friend. Serah was simply too lazy and she was already pushing the limits of her femininity when Sariel forced her to wear glitter spray in her hair for competitions.
"I should hope so. I love the indie types; they're always so experimental" Lil told her and Serah rolled her eyes at that as well. Lil was all about having a good time and unlike Serah she'd managed to perfect the art of having one night stands without hurting the feelings of anyone involved. Lil would certainly never of ended up in the mess that she found herself in with Micah.
The club was already packed but some of their friends had already arrived and snagged them a large booth. Hana was Mary's roommate and was a good laugh when she wanted even if she was sometimes too serious for her own good and dating Ella who was lovely even if she was a little in-your-face at times and enthusiastic about everything. Mary was slotted in next to Lucas dressed in one of those tea dresses which should have made her look like a granny but that she managed to somehow make look cool, her slightly lighter curls just as much of an untameable mess as Serah's and a smile on her face as Lucas made her laugh. Abi and Fox were the last to arrive with a tray of their usual order to slide down onto the table. Abi was Ella's twin and as different as could be with her dark brown hair instead of the natural blonde Ella still favoured and tight black jeans and leopard print bralet top. Fox's real name was Jessica but she never used it and she was a natural red-head with a wicked tongue and a sheer ballsiness that was only rivalled by Serah's when it came to doing anything for a laugh. Sophia arrived soon after moaning about having to give her annoying roommate a lift in and the group got around to laughing and drinking.
They were an odd bunch who shouldn't quite work with so many different personalities but they somehow did and they were all fiercely protective of one another. As Lil had pointed out once they were a stone-cold pack of weirdoes and Serah would never have it any other way.

Dean had never been to college even when he'd been college age.
And, despite Gabriel's massive dick move of shoving them to the future, he was starting to think he'd missed out. Sure the girls were all way too young for him but half of them were practically half naked and downing shots like their lives depended on it. A younger Dean Winchester could have certainly had fun in an environment like this.
Cas was wearing the same expression as he would if he'd eaten a sock and gotten it stuck halfway down. Even with his new face it was clear as day.
Dean, unlike Cas at least had an idea of what college was like. It seemed like the College wasn't turning out to be the hub of education and knowledge that he'd been quite expecting. His eyes were glued to a girl having a jello shot licked out of her belly button by another girl looking like he was being faced with an abomination from the deepest bowels of hell.
"Dean. Why is that woman eating desert from another woman's navel?" Cas eventually asked him eyes finally leaving the sight in front of him just in time to miss the same girl lick salt from out of another girl's cleavage which Dean could only count as a blessing.
"Cause drunk chicks are crazy and don't like buying their own drinks" he answered and tried to steer him away towards the bar and away from any form of drunken debauchery.
Sam followed them and Dean wondered if his experience of college had been anything like this though he'd been happily shacked up in a house with Jessica so he was guessing he'd never really been the guy mouthing lime wedges out of random girl's thongs when he was at Stanford.
"I was under the impression that people came to College to advance their education, not to be used as human crockery. Not that I can see any way that this could actually be classed as hygienic" Cas continued fixing his gaze on Dean again. Dean couldn't be surprised. After all he'd taken the guy to a strip club and look how well that had turned out. He doubted that Cas would ever be the guy covering himself in glow in the dark paint and dancing on tables for laughs.
"Yeah but it's about having a good time too, you know getting away from home for the first time and letting loose" Dean tried to explain but Cas was having none of it.
"The only thing I see these young women letting loose is their morals and underwear and I fail to see how that could ever be a good thing"
Dean sighed and knew he'd never be able to convince Cas that this kind of behaviour wasn't exactly that bad, that it was just part of growing up and the college experience "It isn't like you haven't seen me picking up chicks in bars" Dean pointed out and Cas sent him back an incredulous look.
"Well I have never seen you sticking acidic fruit down your pants and offering the opportunity to retrieve it to anyone with a mouth" Cas pointed out straight back and Dean had to admit that he had a point. God, if he and Cas did have a kid in this reality the poor thing must have had a shit time of growing up with Mr No-Fun over there.
"Well no time like the present. Sounds like a hellovalot of fun" Dean replied sticking his tongue out at him causing Cas to frown and Sam to roll his eyes as he got them drinks.
Dean was surprised that Gabriel hadn't joined them after all he was the biggest party animal going and this was certainly a party. But then Dean had threatened the fucker last time they'd seen him and he was no doubt hiding away from the pissed off ex-Angel next to him. How this experience was supposed to make him suddenly realise he was gay for Cas when all around him all he could was drunk, half naked women he had no idea. Not that he could imagine anything that could make him gay for Cas. Sure he was a great guy and probably his best friend outside of Sam especially since they'd got stuck with after they closed the Gates of Hell but he was still a dude with a dick and that was the insurmountable obstacle to any big gay love that Gabriel imagined between the two of them.
It wasn't that Dean couldn't appreciate that Cas was a good looking guy, cause he was but that didn't mean he was suddenly over whelmed with the urge to start sucking dick. He loved boobs and this whole experience was doing much to change that.
"…Serah! You can't ignore me all night"
Dean felt his head snap up as he turned to look at whoever was shouting and his eyes quickly landed on the six foot giant passing passed the table they'd just snagged who had his own eyes completely fixed on the girl he was following. God, the guy was actually huge.
"Look Micah, I'm sorry but I do not want to dance with you or let you buy me a drink. I don't even want to be here in the first place so please just let me go to the loo in peace"
The girl who turned to face him with her hands fisted on her hips was surprisingly covered up compared to the rest of the people around her even if her top barely brushed the top of her navel. Underneath the wild curls Dean could see that one, she was pretty hot and two she was pretty pissed off.
The guy reached out to grab her wrist and stop her turning her back on him "Look Serah, can we just talk about things?" he asked and she tried to drag her arm away from him. However she was fighting a loosing battle. She could only be 5ft7 and the guy was built like a brick shit-house.
"Micah let me go now" her tone was threatening but Dean couldn't imagine what she could do to fight her way out of that situation. However before he had chance to think about intervening Cas was jumping to his feet and pushing himself in-between the two of them with his I-am-a-fucking-Angel-of-the-Lord-and-I-will-smote-you-to-hell look on his face that was still pretty damn threatening even on the face of the teenage body that Gabriel had shoved him into to for their little jaunt to the future.
"I think the lady told you to let go of her. I suggest you do so" Cas ordered, voice all low and gravelly and the guy turned to him with a furious expression.
"It's not like I'm going to hurt her. How is this your business?" he spat back, still with his hand grasped around the girl's wrist and when he collapsed to the floor Dean thought that Cas had decked him for a moment. It was only when he realised that Cas hadn't moved that he saw the hands the guy had grasped to his dick and the furious expression of the girl he'd been arguing with.
"Never fucking touch me again" she hissed at him and Dean had to laugh. The girl obviously had guts to kick the guy square in the balls "Now get the hell outta here before I make a bigger scene of this then I already have"
He struggled to his feet, sent her a look like she'd just shot his puppy in the head and staggered off into the crowed leaving the girl to rub at the angry mark he'd left on her wrist. Cas sent her a concerned look and inspected the damage himself.
"That'll leave a bruise. Would you like me to get some ice?" he asked and she shook her head quickly with a small smile.
"Nah don't sweat it. Thanks for that by the way, you didn't need to get yourself involved" she replied and dropped her hands back down to her side. The grateful smile of her face didn't betray that she'd just floored a huge ass man with one swift kick to the nuts.
"He was obviously not getting the message. It would have been unforgivable of me not to lend you my assistance" Cas told her and the way she grinned at him made Dean wonder for a moment if the stiff ass way Cas spoke was actually going to let him laid here. He quickly battered down the anger he felt as the thought of this girl hitting on Cas and put it down to the fact that Dean was supposed to be the ladies man not Cas and not due to anything else.
"Well aren't you something else? At least let me buy you and your friends something to drink" she told him and grinned at the two of them beckoning them over to join her at the bar. She had the bar man's attention way to quickly for her not to be a regular here and was soon handing them three beers.
"You okay?" Sam asked her and she nodded throwing back a mouthful of beer.
"Yeah just peachy. Come sit with us if you guys want, we should have room" she offered and gave them all a look that clearly stated that it wasn't an optional invitation. She obviously felt like she owed them for saving her and Dean tried to bat down the anger the thought that she'd be grinning over at Cas like that for any longer than needed inspired in him "Oh, we haven't introduced ourselves have we?"
"I'm Samantha, this is my brother Jensen . And that's Misha, our friend" Sam told her and she frowned a little looking back and forth between Dean and Cas as the word friend left Sam's mouth with an expression that he couldn't quite read but seemed to be a mix of incredulous and confusion. Then she shook her head and smiled extending out the hand that wasn't covered in angry bruises.
"Serah. Serah Winchester. Nice to meet you guys"
XOX
"I am going to cut his balls off" Fox growled as Abi and Lucas all but held her down in her seat. Her expression was one of fury and the desire to make Micah bleed for his earlier actions and Serah made a mental note to never make Fox that angry at her. She looked scary as hell.
"It wasn't exactly his fault. I was being a bitch" Serah replied and dropped her gaze to the table. Micah had just wanted her to stop and talk about them and she'd done the usual Serah move and tried to high tail it out of the way as soon as possible.
"Yeah. Can't blame the guy for knowing that you two haven't actually got something going on when you're falling onto his dick every two seconds" Sophia pointed out and after a beat one of the guys she'd just met sprayed a mouthful of beer across the table. Lucas banged him on the back until he stopped choking.
"Sorry, umm, wrong way" Jensen eventually offered, face bright red and the attention of the table turned back to her. She'd have been very well willingly to Heimlich the guy if it stopped them all staring at her. At least her sister was off talking to her friend who was in one of the bands and not here to give her one of her patenting told-you-so looks.
"I just thought after like a year he'd have figured I didn't want to date him"
"Again I go back to the fact that a guy is going to confused about you not wanting anything to do with him when you're so willing to suck his dick" Sophia piped up again and she was sure that Jensen was only saved from spitting out his drink again by the fact that he had an empty mouth.
"We have company Soph, can you manage not to be so crude all the time" Serah asked her and Sophia rolled her eyes flicking her the middle finger with a wicked grin.
"Blow me Winchester"
"I think she's too busy blowing Micah for that Soph" Lil added and Serah frowned as she looked back and forth between the two laughing girls and took a long sip of her drink trying to regain some sort of composure.
"I am going to disown you both" she informed them and then did her best to ignore the puppy dog expressions they were sending in her direction. Fox was still muttering angrily and Abi eventually dragged her away to get another drink to clam her down.
Her eyes glanced across the bar, ignoring the god-awful emo band playing up on stage and landing on the flash of blonde hair that was Ella and Hana. They were swaying together near the stage and so obviously in love that it would have made her stomach roll if they weren't her friends. However they were and despite the fact that PDA made her cringe, she was happy for them. The band changed to something more upbeat and Sophia dragged Lucas and Lil to dance with her leaving her alone with the guy that had saved her and his friends.
"I am so sorry about my friends. They really have no filter" she quickly told them as her eyes lingered on the poor guy who still didn't look like he'd quite recovered from the earlier conversation. His sister though looked like she was trying to stop herself from laughing though.
"Oh don' worry about it. I'm used to my brother here and he has no concept of a filter either"
"Yeah but my friends have no boundaries either. Just to warn you. Even the quiet ones. So you guys Freshman cause I've never seen you here before" she asked them hoping to direct everybody's train thought away from how much she was jumping on and off Micah's dick. Not that she thought that would be an option now after she booted him in the balls.
And god, was that a relief.
"Yeah just started" Jensen answered her and she nodded. Sure term was only a few weeks in so it would make sense that they hadn't crossed paths yet. Especially when Sariel was such a cheer dictator these days.
"Well ignore what you've seen so far. Penn State is actually pretty okay you know as far as colleges go. My cousin is at Penn U and trust me you won't get any drunk coed offering you a shot from her boobs there" she told them thinking about how uncomfortable she'd felt with Deanna's friends. It wasn't that they didn't welcome her, cause they did but they were just so smart and it was reminder of exactly what her sister could have had if she wasn't so eager to help her through college.
"I would not accept that anyway" Misha added looking slightly disgusted at the thought and she guessed go figure. He was obviously involved with the other guy Jensen if the looks he'd been throwing her before when she been smiling at him had been anything to go by. The guy had looked like he'd wanted to cover her jam and bury her in an ants nest.
"Don't go near Lil then. She pretty much gets everyone to do that" she advised him throwing a point look to where she was dancing with a Senior who had his hands all over her ass.
"So I just heard you assaulted Micah"
Mary chose that moment to appear at her shoulder and stare at her seeking some kind of confirmation. Serah was usually good at picking up on Mary when she was doing the whole sneaky ninja thing she was so fond of but she had no chance against the backdrop of pounding music.
"He started it" Serah answered with a pout and Mary simply curved up an eyebrow that was all scolding and pull-the-other-one. She loved her sister more than anyone else in the world but god, could that girl be such a parent when she wanted.
"You still shouldn't be assaulting him in clubs Serah" Mary pointed out and slipped into the booth next to her never drawing her wide blue gaze away from her face. It was good that she was so used to her sister being such an intense weirdo "You could have just blown your rape whistle" Mary added and though her face was serious she could see amusement in her wide eyes.
"No I couldn't. I pulled the pin out and hid in under Sophia's bed"
"That was you? Figures" Mary asked and then finally dropped the stern mother act and smiled at her. Mary was pretty in a delicate kind of way and no matter how old they were Serah was still filled with the instinct to protect her no matter the cost.
Then she realised that she hadn't introduced her to the group she'd met "Mary, this is Jensen, Mischa and Sam. They saved my life earlier tonight. Guys this is Mary, my twin regardless of the fact that we look fuck all alike" she explained and for a moment she could have thought she dropped a bomb from the shocked expressions she was met with.
It wasn't like people didn't have twins even if they looked so different so she had no idea why they were looking at her like she'd just spat on their shoes. Why did she always end up befriending the weird ones?
Mary being Mary didn't notice and waved before pointing over towards the stage "This is my friend Em's band. You'll like them I promise"
Serah doubted it. Her and Mary's music tastes were vastly different and the only thing they agreed on was their joint love of musicals. Not that that was unusual, they rarely liked the same thing. Serah had to figure that if they hadn't been twins they'd had struggled to even find enough common ground to start a conversation let alone be friends.
The stage cleared and the band The Polyrhythmic Poets League took the stage and Serah nearly groaned at the pretentious name. And her sister thought she'd like these? There were five of them, three women and two guys and they busied themselves getting ready the youngest looking girl took the centre stage and grabbed the mike.
"I'm Em and we're the Polyrhythmic Poets League"
Then she strummed down the guitar she was holding and burst into what could only be a classic rock/indie infused version of Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus. The sound took Serah by surprise but she quickly found herself tapping her foot along with it. Her sister was right; the band were good and she enjoyed their covers immensely especially when they made a song by a pre-teen boy band sound almost like a Zep classic.
"They were awesome" Jensen spoke up and she caught his eye and grinned at him nodding in agreement because he was right.
"Oh thank god you liked that. If I met another person who liked fucking pop music I'd actually give up on life" she told him all but throwing her arms around his neck and hugging him. She'd actually had to leave the room when her friends had tried to get her to join in a rousing group rendition of Cher's Believe at a party last year.
"Anything that sounds like Zep is good by me" he replied and she couldn't help herself them and did hug him round the neck because she was sick of listening to Lucas try and convince her that Madonna was a classic.
He looked shocked at her movement and pulled away quickly reminding herself that she did warn him that as a group none of them had any boundaries including her. The her bit she had assumed was implied because hell, the guy was practically her new best friend on musical taste alone. Lil liked dubstep and it had almost been a deal breaker when they'd first met and been getting to know each other.
"See? Told you so" Mary turned to tell her and there was the look Serah loathed. Really she didn't need to say the words, Serah could have quite happily figured out that it was implied just from that look alone "Come on you two, I'll introduce you if you want?" she asked looking between her and the still kinda shocked guy and Serah nodded yanking the guy next to her up by his hand.
"We'll be right back" she told them and continued to drag the guy with her as she followed her sister past where Lil had her tongue stuck down some guys throat and where Sophia was trying to ignore how Caleb was surrounded by gorgeous Freshman and throwing her pointed looks and even winking at Ella as Hana sucked on her neck. Ella merely grinned and went back to tongue fucking her girlfriend. Serah had no idea why they hadn't just stayed in and boned for all the attention they were paying the bands.
The band were gathered in a booth tethered off in the VIP bit and one of the girl motioned for them to be let in. Serah still had one hand in Mary's and the other dragging the guy behind her and nearly fell straight onto her face when she tried to make the steps up. Jensen caught her and helped her regain her balance and she wondered when she was going to stop giving them the impression that she needed saving all of the time.
"Hey guys. This is my sis Serah and her friend Jensen. This is Lisa, Laurie, Danny Ben and Em whose my friend from class" Mary introduced them pointing around the table. The table shoved up so that they could sit down and Serah found herself wedged in next to her sister and the lead singer.
"You were awesome" Serah told them happily and Jensen nodded next to her. The girl turned to look at her and then beamed at her and Serah was dazzled for a moment by the force of it. She was pretty enough with dark hair and skin due but up close she didn't look the type who'd be rocking out like she had just then. Really she looked like she should be in a choir so something.
"Thank you so much. It was my first real gig. Their lead singer backed out at the last minute and my sister asked me to fill in. I've been so nervous so I'm really glad you liked it" the girl told her and Serah could barely tell what she was saying she was speaking so quickly "I'm in the Campus Acapella group, you know the Pennharmonics so I had no idea if I could pull it off but you know when your sis in a jam you have to step up"
Serah nodded and smiled hoping she managed to actually hear what the girl was saying correctly and choose a response that could answer various combinations of what she'd just thought she'd heard "Well, you were good"
"My sister sings" Mary pointed out and Serah felt the urge to slam both of her hands over Mary's big mouth when the girl's face lit up.
"Do you? We always need new members why don't you come and try out?" she asked and just as Serah was trying to thinking of a polite way to say no she caught the flash of something that was happening over on the table where they'd been sitting earlier.
"I think we need to go rescue your boyfriend" she muttered to Jensen who looked like he was going to argue with the fact she'd called the other guy his boyfriend when he caught sight of Lil trying to force the dude to lick what looked like a jello shot from her chest like Serah just done.
He was already up and running towards the scene before Serah even had a chance to muse on how gay he definitely was for the other guy and stood up herself to go and drag Lil away. It wasn't that Lil would be hitting on him; she just didn't understand that not everyone was quite so happy licking shots off of stranger's body parts as she, and honestly most of them, were.
Em grabbed her hand and smiled up at her "Take my number. Please think about it"
Serah did and ran off to save the poor guy who was as red as Fox's hair shoving the card in her hand as she ran.

If this was what College was like all the time then Dean was done.
It was exhausting. After he'd calmed Cas down he'd been forced to deal with some drunk guy who looked like a chick and wouldn't leave Sam alone followed by being dragged up to dance by the girl he thought was called Sophia with the rest of the group and finally helped Serah drag her drunk ass roommate home and put her to bed. Serah had pushed her number on him and welcomed the three of them to hang out with them if they were ever at a loose end while simultaneously eyeing up Lil to see if she was going to puke.
There were no boobs in the world to make up for the madness that was apparently every day life for these kids. And then there were the two he assumed Gabriel wanted him to believe were his kids. And it wasn't as if it was hard to believe; there were so many aspects of Serah that reminded of himself and Mary had Cas' creepy, intense stare thing and disapproving look down to a tee. But still, how was he supposed to have ended up with two kids with Cas? He doubted that anyone was lining up to give a criminal ex-hunter and a fallen Angel a pair of kids to adopt.
And if they were his kids from the future then he'd heard enough references about Serah and dick to make him puke regardless of the beers he'd been throwing back.
Sam had disappeared into his room and Cas was lying back on his bed staring up unmoving towards the ceiling. Dean chucked off his shoes and pants and crawled underneath the My Little Pony bedspread cursing Gabriel under his breath and imagining all of the things that he'd like to do to the little fucker if he ever appeared again.
He turned to his side and stared over at Cas "So what do you think?"
"That I do not like College" Cas replied and Dean refrained from pointing out that wasn't really what he meant by the question but he knew that if Cas didn't want to talk to him then he wasn't going to push the issue. Cas was not the kind of person who could be forced into opening up and talking about something that he did not want to. Him and Dean were pretty damn similar in that regard.
"Goodnight Cas"
"Goodnight Dean. Sleep well"

Author's Note.
Hi :D This is my first attempt at a story and I hope that it is not too terrible to read. I am hoping to update every week if you want me to continue this story. I am also looking for a beta reader if I do continue if anyone would be kind enough to volunteer. I apologise for any mistakes in here that I have not been able to catch myself. I have been reading fanfic of years but never had a go at writing one so this should be an interesting exercise.
This was an idea that came to me while I was watching Pitch Perfect at the cinema yesterday though the story only borrows a tiny element from that film and isn't that similar. I hope that this idea has not already been done and if it has I am sorry for the similarities and promise that I have not purposely stolen any ideas from you. Cross my heart! It is a way of be able to doing a college fic but hopefully not copy any of the fantastic ones that have gone before and a future fic. There won't be future Dean/Cas/Sam for a few chapters but I promise they will be here soon. There will also soon be a little more about the other side of the W inchester family tree. It is also a personal challenge to myself to see if I can write orgional characters without making then Sue's.
This story is not an MPreg story but is slash – both M/M and F/F and will have some smut and quite a lot of bad language because Winchesters tend to have dirty mouths. I also hope to keep it free from Mary Sues but do tell me if I am straying into any Mary Sue territory. I am also British so I am sorry if I get anything wrong about College in USA as I only have my google research to go on and if I have included any British words in here that don't make any sense.
I hope you caught some quotes from some movies in there as well :D
I really want to hear back from you as to whether I should continue with this or not and would love to hear any suggestions or feedback that you have. Please be honest if you feel the idea is to cliché and is not worth continuing.
Thank you very much for reading and I hope that you enjoy reading as much as I have writing it. I look forward to writing more if you want me too :D
Face claim –
I have the following face claims for some of my original characters if you'd like to see what I imagine them to look like. I have no idea who to chose for our new, young team free will so if you have any ideas.

Mary – Zooey Deschanel (New Girl)
Deanna Winchester – Missy Peregrym (most from Stick It)
Sophia – Ashley Benson
Lucas – Zach Roerig
Lil – Alice Englert
Fox – Deborah Ann Woll
