Chapter 14

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey guys! This story has been one amazing experience, and it's been a hell of an adventure! I'm so sorry for not updating sooner- I have been soooooo busy! So: the big question- what did you guys think of The French Mistake? If you want my honest opinion, it was a bit of a letdown. I felt oddly dissatisfied after watching that ending- did it make sense to anyone? And while some parts were hilarious (Misha, Jensen in Days of our Lives, Balthazar's whole Godfather wrap, Gen and the alpaca [btw did anyone notice her name is now Genevieve Padalecki? That is soooo sweet! They are such a cute couple!]) I felt like it was just one long satire of the show. There was too much making fun of the actors and execs (like Bob, Kripke, and Sera) and not enough plot action. Anyhoo, back to the story- I don't think this chapter will be my last! So strap in!

"So what you're saying…I'm not exactly sure what you're saying-"

"Look, we don't exactly have time for the whole 'the truth is out there' speech so I'll make this simple: my name is Dean Winchester and this is my brother Sam. The real Sam and Dean."

"But, but that's, that's impossible! You guys aren't real- just characters on a TV show I created!"

"Yeah in this world. But we're not from this world- we come from a, sort of parallel universe I guess. And in that world, monsters are real. We hunt them."

Kripke was still wide-eyed, and yet Dean could see no disbelief in his eyes, just shock.

"You know what you guys are saying is nine kinds of crazy."

"Well right now, crazy's the only game in town."

"Alright, so why are you guys telling me all this?"

"Well, we kinda got leave pretty soon. We gotta get back to our own world. You know, things to do, monsters to kill…"

"How?"

"Oh we got our ride back home."

"Ride?"

"More like chauffeur- an archangel will zap us back."

Kripke nodded, "Right, because obviously angels are real…"

"Actually that's kind of why we came to talk to you- see after we leave, Gabriel-"

"The archangel Gabriel?"

Sam sighed patiently. "Yes, the archangel Gabriel. He's going to wipe the memories of everyone here so they don't remember us or the terrible ordeal they were forced to witness."

"…Again I must ask- why are you guys telling me all this if I won't remember it?"

"See that's the thing…we were hoping to put a special request that Eric Kripke be left untouched."

Kripke's eyes widened. "You, you'd do that? Leave me with the knowledge that there really is the supernatural out there somewhere?"

Dean nodded. "You bet."

"But, but why? I mean, why me?"

"Well I thought that would be obvious! Cuz you're the creator! You're the head honcho here, the guy who created all of this. And more importantly…" Dean trailed off.

"The guy who can create more." Kripke finished the sentence, realization dawning on his face. "You guys are going to tell me what happens next. Help me finish the story."

"That's the general idea, yeah." Dean remarked sarcastically.

"There's no need to be rude, Dean." Sam said quietly. Dean gave him a look.

"Well, I don't get the point of this Sammy. I mean why the hell should we tell them what happens next? It's so full of shit, I don't know why anyone would bother watching!"

"Maybe you could let me be the judge of that?" Eric asked earnestly. Dean frowned, but he nodded.

"Well, as you could probably imagine, fate wouldn't let me stay down in Hell forever…" Dean began.

"Wait, so you busted out of hell? How? I mean, we were planning on doing something similar, but all our writers are stumped as to how."

Dean smirked. "Well, how do you feel about angels?"

"…You're joking right?"

Sam chuckled. "I wish we were. But trust me when I say- they're real."

"Well, well what are they like?"

"Honestly? Most of them are world-class dicks. I mean, they swoop in like a bunch of shady politicians, trying to coerce you into their crap plans."

"Yeah, but then there's Cas." Sam reasoned.

"I'll give you that one. Cas is the only good angel we've met. He's our friend, and he's helped us out more times than I can count."

"Cas?"

"Short for Castiel. He's the one who dragged me out of Hell." Kripke nodded.

"I gotta say- this sounds good. Really good. This could make for one hell of a season- the fans must be getting sick of the demon storyline." He looked at them excitedly. "Tell me everything."

About 30 minutes later, the boys had managed to sum up the last two years. It was difficult at times for them to recount, but they had managed to explain Dean's resurrection, the angels, the Apocalypse, Lillith and the 66 seals, Ruby and the demon blood, Sam breaking the final seal and freeing Lucifer from Hell, Michael & Lucifer's battle, their linked fates as the vessels, Sam's plan to cram the Devil back in the box, the four horsemen, Gabriel, Stull's Cemetery, Dean's year with Ben and Lisa, Raphael and the civil war in heaven, soulless Sam (which was heavily edited by Dean so as not to dredge up any memories and crack the wall), Death's wall in Sam's mind, and finally finished with the "mother of all" problem they had recently encountered. Kripke listened in rapt attention, making notes of everything. When they finished, he looked at them in renowned respect.

"You guys had to live through all that?"

"We're still in one piece." Dean remarked sarcastically.

"I mean it. That's too much to ask of anyone! And those angels sound like serious duchebags!"

Dean laughed. "Well you're not wrong there."

Eric laughed, and sighed. "Anyhoo, thanks a lot for telling me all this. It means the world to me that you shared your story with me- you didn't have to."

"Yeah well I wasn't exactly too crazy about it, but Sam insisted."

"I just thought that you guys have gotten this far with our story, you might as well finish it. After all, you guys put a lot into this." he explained.

Kripke nodded. "So I guess this is it then? We won't see you ever again."

"Probably not. But hey, who knows what the future holds, right? We go wherever the road takes us, so don't rule out another visit."

"But don't get your hopes up either- we kinda got a lot on our plate right now back home." Sam reasoned. Kripke looked at them once more.

"I feel like I should hug you guys or something but that would be a little too chick-flick for my liking."

A loud voice cleared behind them. Gabriel stood there, waiting patiently.

"Lemme guess- Trickster here is your ride?" Kripke asked.

"Fraid so."

"You ladies about ready to wrap things up?" Gabriel asked. "We gotta get going ASAP." Dean and Sam turned back to Eric and both shook his hands.

"It's been a pleasure, boys." Kripke said. They smiled, and started to walk towards Gabriel. Right before he zapped them, Dean spun around and asked,

"Hey- I heard you like Zeppelin- what's your favorite?" Dean asked eagerly.

Kripke smiled. "It's a tie. Between Zepp's "Ramble On" and "Traveling Riverside Blues". And with that, Gabriel touched his forehead and the world disappeared.

Ta-Da! Now I am officially done with that part- all I've got left is wrapping up J2…any suggestions? Also I have a little surprise for the ending which I am excited about! So please review and give suggestions! Also tell me how my story compared to the episode! Love you guys!
