Castiel's eyes stung with tears as the door slammed shut. Like strings holding him up had been cut he fell to the floor.

He wasn't going. He would be stuck here for the rest of his life. Only because Abaddon would outlive him just to continue to keep him fell and he pulled his legs to his chest. One thing he wanted since his Father died and Mosley was sent away, to get out for a night and enjoy himself, to meet someone nice.

His tears ran out eventually, but his face out no doubt be puffy and big. At least his eyes didn't sting as much. He grabbed a pan and broom and set to cleaning the mess up.

Castiel walked out of the house, dumping the shattered vase into the bin. He turned around and promptly tripped over someone.

The young man cursed, sitting up he looked at what looked to be a tramp.

"I'm sorry, are you okay sir"

The man looked up and brightly smiled, "Oh it's you!I thought I'd have to wait out here forever" he groaned and got up, helping Castiel up too.

"Cas, kid, I am your fairy godmother" The man told him gleefully, holding out his hands like a magician.

Castiel stared at the man eyes narrow before turning and walking away. THis was probably some trick set up by his family .

"Okay sure thing"

"What,? it's because I'm a Man isn't it."

"No"

"Because, l I find that kind of sexist. Men can be godmothers too!" Castiel turned around and the… fairy godmother was glaring at him, "and yes it wasn't my first choice, I was kind of hoping to get into the Christmas this is just as good as any other magical job" he stamped his foot, "I'm in a Union."

What has my life become? Castiel asked himself, maybe if I play along he'll leave . "okay Mister… Godmother, that's great and all, but what are you doing here?"

"Call me Chuck, kid" the godmother said and shook his hands out, a long white stick appearing, "and Castiel I'm sending you to the ball" he announce with a little flourish of the stick and white sparks appeared.

"I'm sorry but have you seen me, I'm a mess" Castiel shook his head, "I'd never get past the gate, and even if I did no one would talk to me" A hand on his shoulder made him look up to Chuck's smiling face.

"That's why I'm here kid." He sat Castiel down next to him on a bench "You see, this is a crossroads in your life, you've got some big decisions to make that could affect your life."

"Which is why I'm here to guide you. Sure you could stay home, live the rest of your life here or you can go out, have fun meet people and start to enjoy you life."

Castiel looked down, "I, I think I'd like to go."

"Good man, now stand back, I need to fix this suit." Chuck and Castiel stepped away from each other and the Godmother waved his wand and in a puff of smoke Castiel's suit was replaced by an expensive looking, midnight blue suit with a black shirt.

He turned around and looked into the window that showed a reflection, "how?" he turned around biting his lip, "Chuck thank you so much, I-" he stopped "how do I get there?"

Chuck smiled "now this is the fun part, you have a garden yeah?" he asked and Castiel nodded. "Cool watch this kid."

Within moments he was watching a pumpkin transform into a carriage that hooked up to Meg. Mice turned into little men that opened the carriage for Castiel to get in. he thanked Chuck again who held onto his arm.

"By the Way Cas, this will all revert to its old form by midnight, so unless you want to get busted get out of there early capeesh?"

Castiel nodded, still feeling overwhelmed, "Yes, I Capeesh." he told Chuck solemnly.
