Chapter 9
The next morning they awoke to find Crowley sitting at the dining table which was covered in croissants, muffins, and fresh fruit with tea and coffee, while a hotel staffer was in the kitchen cooking bacon, sausage, and eggs. Three more hotel staffers wheeled in rack after rack of clothing into the living room while they all loaded their plates and sat down to eat. While the wedding party ate breakfast and showered, the hotel staff set up two makeshift dressing rooms in the living area and unpacked racks of dresses, suits, and tuxedos.
Charlie was thrilled to have a montage moment and insisted on picking the background music. First Charlie and Dorothy tried on wedding dresses until they finally found the perfect ones. Charlie picked a fun and flirty white dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt ending just above the knee. Dorothy picked a slinky strapless number more silver than white which looked like it was out of the pages of an old Hollywood magazine. The girls, with help from Crowley, chose classic black Armani suits for Sam, Dean and Cas. The staff took measurements of them all for the alterations.
Then Charlie turned to Alyx with a gleam in her eye, "You're turn!"
"No way," said Alyx, "I don't do dresses!"
In the end, Alyx was no match for Charlie's pleading, especially once Sam joined in with the puppy dog eyes. Much to the amusement of Dean and Crowley. As the boys changed out of the suits, Dorothy and Charlie chose an emerald crinkle chiffon halter dress for Alyx to wear. Sam, Dean and Cas joined them just as Crowley was ordering a tie made in matching fabric commenting that a gentleman always makes sure his tie matches his date's dress. Which earned him an intense glare from Cas, causing Charlie to add three more ties to the order for the rest of the boys.
Over lunch, Dean brought up the subject of a bachelor party. Charlie and Dorothy decided that the seven of them should stay in the villa, order in lots of room service, copious amounts of alcohol, and play a truth or dare card game that Charlie had picked up in the hotel shops. Dean was of course disappointed by no strippers, but was secretly happy to be spending some more quality time with the others. The people gathered in this villa represented the sum total of Dean's family, with the possible exception of Crowley (who was actually growing on him, though Dean would never admit it).
Dean and Sam decide to hit the card games at the hotel casino to pick up a little money, while the girls talked Cas into joining them for a spa day followed by lounging around poolside. Hours later the boys returned to the villa laughing and flush with cash having had a great time at the casino to find the ladies and Cas lounging by the pool while Crowley finalized the wedding arrangements and ordered dinner. Sam and Dean put on swim trunks and joined them in the pool while they waited for the food to arrive.
