"Sam! Saaaaam! You've gotta get up, seriously, usually I'm the one that you have to wake up. Really, come on. Um… Right, if you'd stop staring at me like I'm some sort of weird ass, then we could both go to our separate classes- I swear, why you decided to take sociology, I have no effin' clue. Right, your still staring at me like we're both weird asses… Sammy? You okay?" Sam was staring. He was staring at the man that he'd thought had just brought him back to- crap. Wrong universe again wasn't it? Just had to wait for his normal Gabriel to come and pick him up in this universe. He could get away with this, just pretending that this was all totally normal. "Oh, uh, yeah, sorry. It's all fine… Just weird that you actually woke up before me." Gabriel grinned, "No duh! I'm not the weird dude that wakes us at like, five to exercise and study." Sam laughed, slipping easily back into the fun banter that came from college, "Yeah, Gabe, sometimes it's very easy to tell that you don't exercise or study." Gabriel looked mock shocked, "How dare you. I… okay yeah I don't do either of those things, but that's not exactly the point. I get good enough grades, and I'm not overweight." Gabriel said this all while Sam got ready, and started to head out the door. Thankfully, it was still Stanford, and Sam actually had taken the sociology course. The teacher had been a nice man, short with curly brown hair. Obviously he was short to Sam, but he was actually a shorter man from other (more average height) people.

Sam walked into the familiar classroom, seeing the teacher up at the front of the room comforted him strangely. Made him feel as if everything wasn't completely screwed up in his life anymore. He saw a couple people that he recognized (both from his time at college and from his own normal universe). There was Cas, and there was Brady sitting over there. Sam ground his teeth. He focused on his paper, trying not to think about Brady.

He finished with his sociology class, leaving, forcing himself to say hello to Brady when he waved over happily. He met up with Gabriel in their dorm room during break. Gabriel (unsurprisingly) was eating some piece of candy. He waved to Sam, not looking up from his phone.

"Shouldn't you, I don't know, be studying?" Sam smiled, setting his bag down on his bed. Gabriel looked at him like he was crazy. "You kidding, Sasquatch? I love ya, but geez! Studying is not something you will see me doing. Studying." Gabriel snorted and went back to scrolling. Sam blinked, still trying to comprehend one particular part of Gabriel's response. There was a soft flapping behind Sam and he jumped, spinning around and tripping over his feet, and falling over. There were to people laughing at him, and Gabriel snorted again. "Sammy, I swear to my secret candy stash, you will never be able to stand on your own two feet." At the same time, an amused voice from behind (and above) Sam spoke, "Sammy, really? I appear behind you, and you just fall over? That's just pathetic." The two people stare at each other. The Gabriel that was standing behind Sam muttered, "Shit." He grabbed Sam's shoulder, pressed a finger to the other Gabriel's forehead, and vanished again.

*:*:*:*:*

Sam woke up again, stretching out his muscles looking around, concerned, hoping that he was back in his universe. He blinked and looked around properly. Damn it. There was no way that this room was one of the crappy motel rooms that they would always sleep at. It was a nice room, and it had things in it that wouldn't be in a motel room, such as a bookcase that he could see had several of the books were favorites of his. So it was probably some house of his own. He wasn't too sure what this universe would end up entailing for him, so he stood up cautiously to look around. There were typical homesy things around the place, and he found a business card for himself. He was a lawyer. He smiled slightly, and continued searching his own home for clues about what this universe had in store. Soon, he found a photograph, and it was only after that he realized the gold band that had seemingly magically appeared on his hand. Jess. He'd married Jess. He got the inspiration to find his phone, and he started looking through the contacts. He didn't even see Dean in any of the names. He found several of his college friends, and (to his relief) Brady was not one of them. On a whim, he searched Brady's name in the 'Search the Web' engine, and came up with several things. He clicked on the first one. He scanned the article. Apparently he'd been accused of murder. Sam, evidently, had been his lawyer. And completely believed that he was innocent. Sam exited out of the webpage with another sigh. He wasn't sure that he completely liked this universe. His only option, that he could see at this point, was to wait around for Gabriel to arrive.

After he hadn't arrived after another ten minutes, Sam was struck with another realization. He pulled out his phone to the contacts again. He scrolled down to the J's until he found Jess's name. He clicked on it, and pressed the 'Call' button. Jess picked up, "Sam? Is anything wrong?" Sam grinned, tears pricking at his eyes. "Everything's fine. I just wanted to hear your voice." He could hear Jess smiling on the other end. She laughed (Although it was more of a giggle), "You're adorable, you know that? I was thinking, we should have dinner tonight. That nice Italian place you like."

"That sounds wonderful, dear." Sam started scribbling it down on a sticky note, so that the actual Sam in this universe would know.

"And Sam, the doctor called, and he said that we shouldn't worry about my mother's health issues, it shouldn't be genetic and pass down to any grandchildren of hers. As long as I don't have the same issues. And I obviously don't." It took a second for Sam to realize what she was saying. "Oh my God." He laughed and pressed his hand to his mouth. He was having children. Maybe this wasn't such a bad universe. "Oh my God." He laughed again. He suddenly realized that Gabriel was standing behind him.

"Love you, sweetheart. See you at dinner."

"Love you too." She hung up, and Sam set down the phone.

"So what was that about?" Gabriel Sam grinned, "Jess. That was Jess." He held up his hand, to show the Archangel the golden wedding ring around his finger. Something flickered in the other man's eyes, but couldn't identify what the emotion was. "Come on. Let's go." Gabriel placed a hand on Sam's shoulder again, flying him off to what Sam hoped was his own universe. Even though he kind of liked seeing what there was to see in these different places.
