Jasper began to manipulate the emotions and feelings of the two brothers. He started to make Sam depressed and Dean somewhat high and slap happy.

Dean of a sudden burst out laughing at seemingly nothing, his head jerking forward and ruining the stitch Carlisle had just sewn. Sam meanwhile looked like someone had just run over his puppy. The three responsible for this could barely contain their laughter; Jasper was positively soaring on the excitement.

Dean motioned to Carlisle for him to come closer, Carlisle obliged, albeit hesitantly and Dean whispered in his ear "pssst, were hunting wabbits" and then began to roll around on the bed laughing so hard he had to hold his stomach as it hurt to laugh.

"You're such a heartless moron you know" Sam began to splutter "You stole my plastic soldiers and gave them to that dog and then told me where to find them, such a jerk" he said with childlike conviction, tears began to well in his eyes at this memory of when he was 5 years old. "I hate you, you know" he said swivelling on his chair and facing the window. This caused Dean to have a new fit of laughing. Carlisle's calm face started to look tense. Any other doctor would be at a complete loss at the sudden and erratic behaviour of his patients, but not Carlisle. At that moment a loud guffaw was heard next door. It was the perfect excuse he was looking for. Emmett could always be counted on to ruin their charade.

"Please excuse me, we have a patient who likes to take advantage of the laughing gas sometimes" he said smiling nervously and rolling his eyes as if this were a huge inconvenience and strode out the room and opened the door next door to find his three sons in fits of laughter on the floor and bed respectively. He glared at them fiercely and let out a low growl. Edward caught 'Dad's pissed' running through Emmett's mind and simply 'darn, busted' through Jaspers. Carlisle was furious. Through a short non verbal communication between Edward and himself, he let it be known that he meant business. And he would inform their wives if they didn't leave now. A fact the boys didn't want known to their wives as they would not approve of their mixing and playing with humans like this. Bella would think it was cruel, as would Esme.

"I would have expected better of you three, this is not how I brought you up" he told them, disappointment ringing in his voice. And one after the other, they stood and filed out of the room, heads bowed and saying 'Sorry Carlisle' as they exited. Carlisle caught Jasper by the collar and lifted the white coat off him in a quick swift movement. "Thank you Doctor Hale, I'll be relieving you of that" he said and draped the coat over his arm and returned to the room with the now settled and rather confused brothers.

"My apologies Mr Hetherington, but these walls are like cheese sometimes, holes everywhere, you probably caught some of that gas" he told them, hoping they would accept the explanation and leave it at that.

They seemed rather confused still and just sat there. The first thought to go through Dean's mind was witchcraft. Edward smirked as he left the rear of the hospital. They were going to use this to their advantage.

Dean remained quiet for the rest of his consult, being gently stitched together again. Sam tried to remain composed, but he was fidgeting and uncomfortable. Both men were slightly embarrassed about their outbursts. Carlisle continued as if nothing had happened.

"If you want to file a police report I can suggest you contact Chief Swan, he'll sort it all out for you" he said as he cut the above the knot he made." There you go, good as new, though I must strongly advise that if you feel woozy or light headed to please come back and we'll sort you out" Carlisle said taking his gloves off.

"Mm, yeah, thanks Doc" Dean said.

"Don't mention it, just doing what I do best" Carlisle smiled, his eyes crinkling warmly at the edges and flashing his brilliant white teeth.

'Yeah and looking at yourself in the mirror for probably hours at a time' Dean thought darkly.

"Thanks heaps Doctor Cullen" Sam said bending to read the name on his tag. "We appreciate it".

"You two take it easy now" Carlisle said as he watched them walk out the door, raising their hands in a goodbye gesture and acknowledgement but not looking around.

Carlisle took a deep breath, even though he didn't need to, another force of habit and shook his head. 'That was a close one' he thought.

"You can say that again" Edward said, suddenly at his side.

"You boys are in so much trouble" Carlisle said rounding on him

"Comon Carlisle, it was just a bit of fun" Edward said raising his hands as if in surrender.

"Just go home now, I've still got a few more hours here and then we'll talk about it, and stay away from those hunters" he reprimanded Edward.

Outside in the cool night air Sam and Dean climbed into the car and headed back to the hotel. After being given another room graciously by the hotel manager, away from the road and upstairs, they eventually fell back asleep.
