"Cas I don't know if this is going to work," Sam muttered, anchoring some clear string to the floor and then pulling it up over the doorway to the Roadhouse.

Cas looked at Sam with an unamused expression, "I've seen this done in many movies, Sam. If done correctly it always worked. Especially in that one with the twin girls at camp."

"The Parent Trap! I love that movie."

Cas nodded approvingly, "Only they used what looked like chocolate sauce."

"Cas," Sam said suddenly, "You told Dean that an angel was after Gabriel, but if he stole Crowley's fountain then who was actually after him? And why couldn't Crowley find him?"

Cas blushed slightly, "I took the liberty of branding the both of you with protection from several of the higher ranked demons after you encountered the Phoenix. I thought it might come in handy in case either of you ever sustained severe burns and lost your anti-possession markings. As for the situation with Gabriel, it seems he has gotten increasingly good at pulling pranks on even his celestial brethren. I was under the impression he was running from Uriel. It had seemed they were feuding after Gabriel meddled in the year 1995 to stop the rise of a popular band he despises. But I was very, very wrong."

"So you're telling me Gabriel told you he went back in time and pissed off the Spice Girls, and that's what got Uriel's panties in a bunch?" I had to hand it to Cas, he was a pretty intelligent guy. But sometimes his naiveté took over and he mistook a bluff for the real deal.

"I'm embarrassed at my inability to see through his hijinks, but I think this scenario we're setting up should put things back into balance."

I smothered a laugh and looked out the window, to hide my smile from him. Outside Ellen and Jo were coming back from the store with a five-gallon bucket and some metal hooks. "Is it okay to come in?" Jo called from the parking lot.

Sam yelled back that it was fine and they came in, setting the bucket on the floor next to Sam's string rig.

"So the plan is we douse Gabriel and then Cas flies him and Crowley to where again?"

Cas walked over and started attaching the metal hooks to the bucket handle. "There's a safe house just a few miles north of here, it's been rendered impossible for demons to escape from or enter into by their own free will. Only an angel is able to pass through its perimeters freely, and they can do so with others in tow."

"Okay, so we toss them in the safe house and Crowley gets to see his precious fountain, and Gabriel gets to spend a little time with a pull-up on. I like it."

"This all seems a little unnecessary," Ellen said glancing at the string over the door where the bucket would soon be hanging.

"We're Parent Trapping them," Cas said proudly.

Jo looked confused, "You're making them get remarried?"

"He means the prank part, at the camp," I told her, which received a grateful look from Cas.

Jo laughed and helped Sam steady the door while he put the bucket up. Now all we had to do was taunt Crowley and Gabriel into coming here.
