A/N: In this chapter, Evy meets up with a friend of hers from when she went back to school while living with Bobby. Sam and Dean are, to say the least, not pleased.

"Bobby, how could you just let her go off with that guy?" Dean asked for the thousandth time in two hours.

Bobby chuckled, obviously enjoying Dean's torment. "I know him and Baitfish does too."
"Well, who was he?" Sam asked, only slightly less annoyed than Dean.

"If Baitfish wants you to know that, she'll tell you when she gets here." Bobby said.

"Where'd they go?" Dean tried.

"Dean, she's twenty." Bobby said, exasperated. "If she wants you to know that, she'll tell you then too."

Six Hours Earlier

"Mr. Singer?"

Sam, Dean, and Bobby looked up at the sound of the unfamiliar voice. A tall, skinny kid with messy black hair stood there. He looked to be around twenty, the same age as Evy. Before anyone could reply, Evy came back around the corner from the bathroom.

"Tommy?"

The kid, apparently named Tommy, turned around to face Evy and his face lit up in a smile. "Abby?"

"Wow. Hi!"

As Evy grabbed Tommy to give him a hug, Sam and Dean mouthed to each other "Abby?" Bobby shook his head and watched the two of them, smiling. He had known Tommy was coming and called him to surprise Evy.

"What are you doing here?" Evy asked as she pulled away from him.

"Um…" Tommy looked towards Bobby, who nodded and pointed towards the outside of the diner. "Can we talk outside?"

"Sure." Evy said. She grabbed her bag and saw the confused looks on the faces of Sam and Dean. "Um…" She decided it was best to introduce them and leave. "Tommy, these are my brothers, Sam and Dean."

Tommy quickly shook hands with Sam first, and then Dean. "Your brother Dean? The one who…"

"It's a very, very, very long story." Evy said. "Let's head outside and talk like you said."

Had she not been going outside with Tommy, Evy would have laughed at the looks on Sam and Dean's faces. She just wanted to get away and talk to Tommy in private. Once she was out the door, Sam and Dean started in on Bobby.

"Bobby, what the hell?"

Bobby deftly avoided their protests, and forbade them from going outside and barging in on Evy and Tommy's conversation. He refused to tell them what was going on, more out of amusement than any other reason. He fought back a laugh. Less than a minute after going outside, Evy walked back in and over to the table next to Bobby. She was grinning and looked excited.

"He told me you called him." Bobby just shrugged as if to say yeah, so? and Evy wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. "Thank you, Bobby. You're the best."

"You're welcome, Baitfish." Bobby said.

"I have one more thing to ask you for."

Evy leaned in close and whispered something in Bobby's ear, making him laugh. It took her close to a full minute, and by the time she finished, Bobby was simply nodding his head in agreement with whatever she was saying. When Evy pulled away, she simply kissed Bobby on the cheek, thanked him again, and turned around and left, leaving Sam and Dean sitting there with their mouths hanging open.

"Bobby, what the…" Dean started to ask.

Bobby's thoughts were interrupted by his cell phone going off. It was a text from Evy. I can almost hear them griping about this. Would you please give them the basics about Tommy so that I'm not playing twenty questions when I get there? Bobby chuckled and put the phone away. He did as Evy asked and told them how Evy had met Tommy. He had been her only real friend when she'd started back to school while living with him a few years earlier. They'd dated a few times. Tommy had known her as Abigail Singer, and him as her father. Just as he was ending the story, Evy walked back in. She waved out into the parking lot, then turned around grinning to everyone. When she noticed the looks on Sam and Dean's faces, she laughed out loud and walked back over to Bobby.

"You have fun, Baitfish?" Bobby asked.

"Yeah." Evy said. "Yeah, I did."

"What'd you guys do?" Sam asked.

"Nothing." Evy said. "Went and got burgers and talked."

"For seven hours?" Dean asked.

"Yes, Dean." Evy answered, rolling her eyes slightly. "For seven hours. We, um…." Evy looked to Bobby, who nodded in a silent understanding. "We had a lot to talk about."

"What do you mean?" Sam asked.

Evy sighed. "We were more than just friends." She admitted. "And I kind of left him for another guy."

"Who?" Dean asked.

"Who what?" Evy asked.

"You said you left him for another guy." Sam said. "Who was the guy?"

Suddenly, all of Evy's excitement over seeing Tommy again drained form her face. She looked sad. She looked down at the floor for nearly thirty seconds before answering them. She took Bobby's hand and said,

"I'm going for a walk."

"Alright, Baitfish. Be careful." Bobby said.

Evy nodded and headed out the door without saying anything else to them.

"Bobby?" Dean and Sam asked at the same time.

Bobby, who was watching the door where Evy had just left, sighed. "It was you two."
Sam and Dean looked at each other, puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"She stopped seeing him when Dean came back from hell." Bobby explained. "When she went back on the road with you two."

Neither brother quite knew what to say to that. They both knew that Evy had gone back to school during the four months she'd lived with Bobby, but neither fully realized exactly what she had given up. They both felt guilty. They wanted her to have a normal life as possible, but evidently Evy had chosen to give that up and stay with them. Evy returned a few minutes later. Sam and Dean got up together and, without warning, engulfed her in a hug.

"We love you, Cricket." Sam told her. "More than anything."

"Love you, kiddo." Echoed Dean.
