Bobby Singer smiled as he opened the door and ushered in the Winchester family. Bobby and John had become fast friends when John had been searching for a carburetor for an old Chevy Be lair. After hours on the phone calling around the country, John had finally located one at Singer Auto Salvage. John had driven to Sioux Falls to pick up the part and the two had become fast friends.
Now years later, John had 55 Ford short bed in the garage in need of a clutch assembly. While Bobby didn't have one on hand, he had a lead on one. John figured a vacation would do them all good before Dean started kindergarten and had packed his family into the car to make the trip. Bobby letting drop that Karen had yet to meet Sammy weighed in on the decision too.
Karen hearing the commotion came out of the kitchen wiping her hands on a dishtowel. "Mary! Oh he is just too precious!" Karen said making her way over to pinch Sam's cheek making him immediately use his well-loved plushie to give the woman a whack. Dean on the other hand was settled on the porch with his GI Joe and Cobra figures imagining a battlefield.
"That boy sure loves his dolls." Bobby noted.
"GI Joes!" Dean countered, "Not dolls. Girls play with dolls!"
"You tell him kid." Lucifer prompted.
"Ha-ha. Singer called you a couple of dolls." Gabriel teased. "You going to play dress up and have a tea party now?"
Sam had toddled out onto the porch on his chubby little legs before falling down onto his butt and reaching for Lucifer.
"See I have a loyal vessel, he wants me." Lucifer added as Sam tossed his plushie down the steps onto the ground.
After a few seconds Sam started to cry since no one was giving him back his little stuffed platypus. Mary glanced at the children and then noticed the toy on the ground. She hurried down to pick up the toy. "Well someone is going to need a bath before Sammy gets him back." she noted.
"I have a load of laundry to do. I can stick it right in the washer along with the rest." Karen said.
"Washer? Laundry? Do I look like fine lingerie to you to chuckleheadettes! I'm an Archangel of the Lord!" Gabriel yelled as Mary followed Karen into the house. "Help! Mikey, Luci; they're going to put me through the spin cycle! CASTIEL!"
"Father, I am curious. Could they be harmed if they were placed in a washing machine and washed?" Castiel asked Chuck.
Nawww. Gabriel will be fine, although I don't think he'll be too happy when he finds out that Karen Singer still uses an old fashioned wringer-washer." Chuck said unconcerned. "I might just have to pop down for that. Maybe going through the wringer will squeeze his ego down to a manageable size."
"Dad this isn't funny!" Gabriel yelled as he was tossed back and forth inside the washing machine. "I'm drowning here!"
"Stop being melodramatic, Gabriel. You're not drowning, just getting a bath." Castiel said as he watched the washing machine. "Father assured me that you will be just fine."
"It's not fair! Mickey and Luci don't have to go through this!" Gabriel complained.
I think Lucifer would gladly take your place right now." Castiel informed him. "Sam just toddled into the bathroom and stuffed him in the toilet headfirst."
"Well he is a shithead most of the time." Gabriel said.
