Oh my goodness this is a long one. I hope you don't mind I hadn't planned it to be so long. Anyways this is "Dancing" Chapter 14.

"I'll dance with you Tea." Dean looked up smiling.

"No she asked me." Sam took Tea's hand getting up out of the booth. For some reason the thought of Dean dancing with Tea made his stomach do angry flips. "Just to warn you I'm not really good."

"Maybe later Dean," Tea yelled back as they headed off. "And don't worry I'll teach you." She put her hand on his guiding it to her waist then placed hers lightly on his shoulder. "What everyone else is dancing right now is called the Texas Two Step." Tea explained calmly. She went over the steps of the dance with him as the music played.

It took most of the song but Sam finally got the hang of what they were supposed to do, which was good because the next song to play was one from Tea's all time favorite country singer and she wasn't going to miss dancing to it.

"'Just the other night at a hometown football game.'" Tea started to sing along with the male voice coming out of the speakers. "'My wife and I ran into my old high school flame.'" She blushed when Sam caught her eye.

"Who is this?" Sam couldn't keep the smile from his lips as he twirled her around in time with everyone else. "I mean the song; I've never heard it before."

Tea opened her mouth to give the answer but then snapped it shut sending him a playful glare. "Oh I know what you are doing. I'll tell you and then you are going to reply with 'then let him sing it!'" She rolled her eyes. "I've done that one too many times to fall for it again thank you very much."

"No." Sam laughed. "I actually am just curious. You aren't half bad as a singer so I don't mind that."

With a blush Tea looked away. "Oh well then, it's Garth Brooks' Unanswered Prayers. He's one of the best country singers ever and this just happens to be one of his really great songs, though he has many." She started humming along with the chorus too embarrassed to sing again.

"Ah." Sam nodded. "I'm not much of a country listener but he's not bad. The lyrics are interesting too." He shifted a little bit liking the feel of her in his arms.

"Yeah they are." Tea agreed. "You know if this is making you uncomfortable we can stop dancing."

"Is that your way of saying I suck at the Two Step?" Sam let a grin play against his lips hoping she would know he was only joking. "Or maybe it's that you've spotted another guy and just don't want to hurt my feelings."

"You caught me." Tea shrugged. "You kind of really stink at dancing and shouldn't quit your day job. Plus there is this tall cutie that keeps eyeing me. I'm pretty sure he will ask me to dance as soon as I dump you back at our booth." She shook her head chuckling. "No but really you seem like you would rather be anywhere but here. You are way too stiff and need to lighten up."

"Sorry." Sam tried to relax a little more but knew he had to stay alert enough so that no one could surprise him. If someone was able to it could mean not only Tea's life but possibly his own or other patrons of the bar.

"Can I cut in?" Dean tapped on Sam's shoulder as the last few bars of the song were played. "I'm not really asking just so you know." He smiled while taking Tea's hand from his little brothers. "Go man the booth Sammy while I show Tea how to really dance."

Tea sent a sympathetic glance at Sam as he went back to their claimed table. "You should be nicer to him. He is your little brother you know."

"I do know that." Dean took lead from Tea."Which is all the more reasons why I get to pick on him. Besides he knows I would die for him and I know he would do the same, so we get to pick on each other."

"Ah I see you have it all figured out hu?" Tea found herself not enjoying dancing with Dean as much as she had with Sam even though he was a better dancer.

"Sure do." Dean smirked catching her eye. "By the way, there is this guy, at about my ten o'clock, that has had his eye on you since you started dancing. Now I'm not the jealous type so it doesn't bother me."

Tea wanted to look even though she knew Dean could just be messing with her. "You aren't the jealous type hu?" Tea smirked. "So why would you be? I mean you shouldn't have a reason to about me because I've already told you..."

"Yeah yeah I know, I'm too old for you." Dean let out a snort of laughter. "Ah he's looking away, spin." Dean spun her around to give her a look.

Tea looked quickly not really knowing exactly where to set her eyes. Everything was pretty much a big blur but she did catch a glance at a tall blond fellow that seemed to be alone. "You are crazy." Tea laughed when Dean pulled her back to him.

"I've been called that before." Dean laughed along as the song wound to a close. "We should probably get back so we can order and get some food."

Tea nodded allowing Dean to lead the way through the other dancers and back to the booth where Sam was nursing the same glass of beer.

He looked up and smiled at Tea. "He didn't step on your feet did he?" Sam got up letting Dean sit down in the booth and move over.

"You are a funny one." Dean punched Sam's shoulder. "She was perfectly fine. I was an absolute gentleman." He took a gulp of his bear. "She was the one looking at other guys while dancing with me."

Tea's mouth fell open. "Lies!" she shrieked. "Dean was the one pointing out a guy that was watching me. I wouldn't have even noticed if Dean hadn't mentioned it." Tea sent one of her playful glares at Dean. "I'm not covertly rude, unlike guys who will openly check out other girls while on dates."

"Watching you?" Sam seemed to go into full surveillance mode. His eyes widened and his head went on a swivel as if to look at every face in the room while glimpses of his vision played in his head.

Mentally he was beating himself up. He should have been more alert when they came in and scanned as many faces as he could. The time during which he had danced with Tea could have been used to scope out more people. Any of the four demon possessed meat suits could be lying in wait at that very moment, just to kill or capture Tea, while Sam had been slaking off.

"Calm down Sam." Tea snapped her fingers in his face. "I'm sure he's just a townie looking for a new girl to hit on. Remember I grew up with two older brothers that never found enough time to lecture me on how to deal with other guys." She smiled when he calmed down. "I may seem like a helpless chick but I've been through several self-defense classes and went through a whole semester of MMA."

Dean was impressed. He would have completely pegged her for a useless damsel in distress. But now, with her experience, he figured she would be somewhat useful in a fight or at least knowing enough to get out of the way while he and Sam handled it.

Sam kept his guard higher than it had been but let it look like he was relaxing.

"Hey sorry for taking so long." A waiter stepped up to their table with a pad and pen in hand. "It's been one hectic night."

The three glanced up. "No worries, we have been enjoying the great atmosphere and the dancing." Tea beamed at him. "This is really a great place."

"Sure is." The guy didn't seem to agree as enthusiastically as Tea was. "Anyways I'm Bret and I'll be your waiter tonight. I see you have drinks so do you want food too?"

"Can I have the chicken strip basket with Ranch dressing to dip in?" Tea held up her menu waiting patiently as he jotted down the order.

"I'll have the bacon cheese burger again." Dean handed their waiter his own menu.

Sam glanced down. He hadn't really looked over it all that much, but he could remember a few things that sounded good earlier when they came to eat. "May I have the Cesar Salad with Ranch on the side?"

"Sure thing, I'll get these right out for you." Bret finished writing the orders before heading off.

Dean smiled triumphantly. "Ah and there is the health freak of a little brother I know and love." He slung his arm around Sam's shoulders. "He really is a nut about this kind of thing."

"You know there isn't anything wrong with wanting to be healthy." Tea rolled her eyes at Dean. "It's better than having a heart attack at the age of forty."

Sam laughed out loud. "Well I don't think we will have to worry about that." He truthfully didn't think with all their running around hunting demons and other bad things that anything so normal as a heart attack would be the death of either of them. That is unless a demon or vengeful spirit caused such things to happen, which they had seen before.

"Excuse me." A soft almost silent voice broke into their little bubble.

Everyone raised their heads to see a guy with flaming red hair standing at about five ten looking back at them.

"Hey." Tea smiled being friendly. "What's up?"

"My name is Alfred and a friend of mine was wondering if you would dance with him." He smiled politely down at her as he pointed across the room to the tall blond that Tea had seen while dancing with Dean.

Tea followed his pointer finger for a second then turned back. "Well Alfred tell your friend if he wants me to dance with him he should buck up the courage and ask me himself." She let her own polite smile show. "If he can't do it himself, he's not going to get anywhere in life."

"I appreciate your time. I will deliver your message to him." Alfred bowed formally before leaving.

Tea let him get far enough away before bursting out laughing. "I'm so sorry." She calmed herself down enough where she wasn't going to spew soda out of her nose from laughing and drinking. "Oh wow that was weird."

"You've never had a guy ask you to dance before?" Dean raised an eyebrow. He had to agree with her though, the experience was off.

"No, I have plenty of times. But that was the first time a Weasley look-a-like has ever asked me to dance with his friend." Tea continued to drink her soda knowing it would calm her down even more.

Sam lifted the side of his lips in a smile at her reference. "He did kind of look like he belonged to the Weasley clan didn't he?"

"The what clan?" Dean scratched his head in confusion.

"The Weasley's from Harry Potter. Ron, the youngest boy, is Harry's best friend," Tea explained. "Anyways..."

"He pointed to the guy that's been watching you." Dean tried to discreetly look up to see what said male was doing now. "You know the one I told you about." He put his beer to his lips. "And don't look now but I think he had taken your advice."

"Excuse me, my name is Aubree and I'm the one that my friend asked if you would dance with." A tall blond stood just to Tea's right. "I realized it was childish of me to send my friend to ask you for me so I came over myself."

Tea looked up at him seeing his vibrant blue eyes and playful smiling lips. "Yeah if a guy can't ask me himself I usually don't waste my time." Tea bit her lip as she ran her eyes over him.

Aubree had Will Turner hair all the way down to being pulled back into a sloppy low ponytail only in a golden blond, rich honey color. His black button down wasn't tucked in with the sleeves haphazardly pushed up to his elbows. Dark blue almost black denim jeans hugged his slim frame showing off his slim stomach, narrow hips, and long legs. Polished black shoes tied his whole outfit together.

"Would you please honor me with a dance?" He held out an elegant hand to her as if he knew she would acquiesce.

Tea liked her lips. "Umm..."

"I saw you dancing to Garth Brooks earlier and took the liberty to request another of his to be played. I would very much like to enjoy the song while dancing with you." He had a regal voice that sounded like he should be in the fifteenth century as a Lord or King instead of some small northwestern U.S. townsman.

"Uh yeah." Tea took his hand and set her eyes on his not wanting to see the way Sam or Dean looked at her. A voice in her head said she shouldn't care. The two were just friends of hers that she had met this morning. But a rather small voice answered back that she should care.

Aubree lead her out into the middle of the dance floor. "I hope your boyfriend is not too angry with me." He turned her around so they were facing each other. "He seems rather intense, as is watching to make sure that I do not hurt you."

Tea's brow creased. "Is it the short, spiky haired one or the one with the longer hair that is looking?"

"Actually right now both are." He cracked a smile. "Which one should I be more worried about?"

Tea nibbled on her lip which was a major safety blanket for her. "Both of them," she spoke after long seconds of quiet. "Though neither of the two is my boyfriend." The thought of Sam being her boyfriend still made her heart beat a little bit faster than normal. "I am Tea by the way."

"What a beautiful name." He locked eyes with her. "It matches you perfectly." His eyes ran over her face. "I must say that I was sad when Alfred came back alone. I thought you had turned me down without giving me a chance."

Tea shook her head. "No I just don't say yes to friends. I've found more times than not that one friend is playing a joke on another." She looked up into his eyes marveling in the beauty of the shade that she had never seen in another's eyes or anywhere else in the world before.

"Ah I understand." He twirled her around gracefully. "I am not that kind of guy and neither is Alfred but you would never have been able to know that."

Tea had to admit even with this weird almost Middle English speak she was enjoying herself. He was certainly a better dancer than either of the brothers. But Tea knew she had been more comfortable with Sam and Dean than she was with this near stranger.

The song ended and a Kenny Chesney one began. "Look I had a great time but I have got to get back to my friends. I think our food is at the table."

"Thank you for dancing with me." Aubree smiled politely as he walked her back to the booth. "You are a great dancer, I enjoyed it." He brought her hand to his lips leaving a kiss before disappearing into the crowd.

"So..." Tea sat down at the booth. "Way to be stalkers and watching me... both of you." Tea eyed the two brothers.

Dean just smiled not caring but Sam looked away as if embarrassed for being caught. "So who is the best dancer out of the three of us?" Dean dug into his burger.

"Well I don't think that's fair." Tea cautiously picked at her fries. "I mean Sam just learned the dance today." She sent a smile at him but didn't know if he saw it or not. "You've obviously danced the Two Step before."

"Fine out of me or that guy." Dean gestured wildly out to the crowd in general. "Who was the better dancer of the two of us?"

"Truthfully?" Tea picked up a fry and began to nibble at it to give herself more time. "Well he was really good at dancing but he seemed too... I don't know... like he seemed like he should belong in the fifteenth century or something." Tea ripped apart a chicken strip. "I had more fun with you though."

Dean beamed. "Yeah well what can I say. I'm just a man of many talents."

Minutes rolled by as they ate with a little bit of talking. Mostly they just ate and enjoyed the music and ambiance of the restaurant.

Sam enjoyed his salad even though Dean had teased him about it. While eating he realized even though the case was just beginning and they still had no idea what they were up against he was actually having a good time. Maybe it was due more to their little hitch hiker than anything else.

Throughout the remainder of the night after they finished up eating Tea was asked to dance a handful of times and pulled both Dean and Sam out to the dance floor at least three times each. By the time the three opted to head back to their hotel room it was well past midnight and Tea was dragging her feet.

They got into the elevator and headed up to the room they were giving taking their time. Dean reached it first pulling out the key and opening the door to let Tea enter first.

The youngest flicked on the room's main light and then stopped seeing an unfamiliar male standing in the middle of the room with a dirty trench coat hanging off his shoulders. "Oh! Who are you?"

The male turned around. "I am Castiel an..."

"This is Cass; he's a friend of Sam and mine. I forgot to mention he was in the area and might be stopping by." Dean cleverly interrupted the angel. "Cass this is Tea."

"Hey Cass, or do you prefer Castiel?" Tea extended her hand looking more awake than she had been minutes before.

"It does not matter to me." Cass just glanced at Tea's hand but didn't take it. "Dean shortened my name on his own. I gave no assistance to it."

"Cass can I talk to you for a second outside?" Dean jerked his thumb out the door. He didn't wait to make sure Cass was following before heading back out the way he came.

Castiel followed Dean out without protest. "Yes Dean?" His face remained the same as it always was. Angels never seemed to have the ability to do anything with their vestals facial expressions.

Dean turned and looked at Cass. "What are you doing here?" He wasn't angry just a bit annoyed since they had talked several hours ago and Cass gave no indication that he would be dropping by. "Tea doesn't know anything about our job. You showing up here isn't much help."

Castiel just stared at Dean. "Would you like me to apologize for my actions? It would be either sincere nor take back my being here."

Dean sighed heavily running his hand through his hair. "I don't care about that. We are trying to keep Tea safe and for the moment the easiest way to do that is to keep her in the dark about everything." He looked at the door.

"I would highly advise you otherwise." Castiel had actually grown fond of both Winchesters even though it had only gotten him into trouble thus far. "From what I have seen it is easier to come clean earlier than later."

"Cass..." Dean disliked being overly rude to the angel standing before him. Cass had indeed pulled him out of hell and for that he would be ever grateful. But there was only so much monotone angel psycho babble that he could take. "Look we've tried doing the outright method before. Thus far it never has worked out swimmingly." He sighed once again. "Sam and my way seemingly works quite a bit so we stick to it."

Castiel nodded. "Yes but there have been times when it has not. You must understand that you and your brother are far from perfect and..."

"God damn it Cass I know." The irritation of Cass popping up out of nowhere once again was starting to take its toll. "If Sammy and I were perfect do you think we would have started up the apocalypse?"

Cass just stayed as static as ever. "You need to pull away from the emotions. Tea is something special, I can feel it from her but I cannot latch on to anything."

"Yeah well that's awesome. We figured she was something from Sam's vision." Dean rolled his eyes. "It would be helpful if you could tell us why she's going to ganked by four demons." He turned away.

"I do not know." Castiel said simply. "I have told you all I can."

"You're freaking amazing thanks." Sarcasm dripped from Dean's mouth. He knew even before he turned back Cass had disappeared. With a quick whip around he growled then went back into the room. Sometimes he just wanted to punch Cass, hard in the face, and know it would actually hurt the guy.

"Where did Cass go?" Tea had changed into a T-shirt too large for her and a pair of purple, yellow, and white basketball shorts.

"Cass doesn't stay in one place too long." Dean glanced at Sam who also seemed to have gotten ready to turn in for the night. "He was just dropping by, though I wouldn't doubt we will see him again before long."

"Oh cool, he seems really nice." Tea sat on the couch combing out her hair with a purple hair brush. "He's a bit older than you two though. Is he a family friend?"

"Yeah something like that." Sam was trying to bite back the laughter that had risen in thought of Cass being "really nice" as she put it. Sure he had saved them from a tough spot here and there but he was an angel and by definition that made him a dick like all the others that they had mat.

"So is there any hot water left in the building or should I wait to take my shower in the morning?" Dean looked at Tea waiting for an answer. He got his shower stuff together including a change of clothes anyways.

Tea glanced up realizing he had been asking her. "Don't look at me, I take morning showers. If I take one at night my hair gets all poofy and sticks up at funny angles." She smiled. "Plus I like cold showers unless it is in the middle of winter."

"Oh." Dean was a bit surprised, though he had only been working off of a stereotype. "Well okay then." He walked into the bathroom to get clean.

Tea yawned finishing up with her brush then putting it in her bag. She pulled out a cream colored throw blanket with a purple and yellow crest smack dab in the middle with a purple border. "I think I'ma take a snooze. See you in the morning Sam and sweet dreams." She curled up under the blanket facing the back of the couch.

Sam smiled it had been quite a while since he had heard that phrase. "Night Tea you too." He turned on the lamp resting on the side table between his and Dean's bed then headed over to the overhead light flicking it off so it wouldn't keep her awake.

So I didn't realize before right now that 2 of my review relies from last chapter were cut off somehow. I'd like to say I'm sorry to Jasmineisland and K.T. cause it looked like I forgot them which I didn't. I guess when I put in the preview for this chapter it cut out the replies. So I will put them here along with replies for the two this time.

(Last chapter)

Jasmineisland: I know when I was writing it, the part was going in a different direction then I ended up playing tag that night with my friends and so it kind of just came out that way. I really thought it would be cute and even though it isn't much in his personality it just shows a little of how Tea is changing everything.

K.T. I actually had written Cass in before I got your review which then made me smile that I had cause I wasn't sure if I wanted him in yet. I'm glad you liked the chapter cause I did too.

(This chapter)

Ominous Blue: Hehehe I hope this one is fun to read as well. It was actually pretty interesting to write.

K.T.: Well I figured that would be his response. I mean I've actually started up several games of Tag between friends of mine and when I tell others about it they are like '... really? Tag? You are such a child Rei.' Hehe No problem there is more of him to come. I am a weirdo and sometimes write things out of order and while writing like the 3rd Chapter I had this really cool idea and so started writing that in a different notebook and of course Cass is in that part. I hope I captured him well cause I normally don't write the way he talks so it was weird for me and I had to go online and watch a few episodes with him in them to inspire me.

Okay so I didn't get to write as much as I wanted to this week... er well I had been planning to cut this chapter before they got back to the hotel but then I read it as a whole and thought better of it. So I don't have a preview and I am going out of town so I will not be able to keep my five day cycle. The next chapter should be up at the latest on the 22nd I hope and then I will get another one if I can on the 25th to put me back on track. So see you soon and hope you enjoyed reading!
