Hellos! So this chapter has been done for a while, but FF has been having some bugs as I'm sure everyone is aware of. But, here it is! And I stole a quote from the episode "Clap Your Hands If You Believe..." I don't own it, or Supernatural, but I just had to put it in. I haven't seen that episode in forever, but I remember that quote. Anyways,
ENJOY!
And thanks as always to my beta Werewolf Girl 22!
The Return of Avi
Aliens?
We watched silently as Dean lit a match and dropped it onto the funeral pyre. The stack of wood and Bobby's body went up quickly, illuminating the gloom. Kacie was crying quietly against my leg, and I knelt down to hug her tightly. Dean and Thing were standing together a little farther off, faces expressionless. God knows where Gabriel was, and Castiel was off fighting. He had stopped by briefly to offer his condolences, and I just slapped him. We didn't talk about Raphael going after Kacie. Dean didn't mention bringing Bobby back although I knew he really wanted to. Other hunters had called, but none could come and send Bobby off. The monsters were really going crazy, and it was all hands on deck. But other people came.
The clearing had gotten colder, and in the distance we could see the sprits of those Bobby tried to help, and haven't moved on yet. Some were crying, others pissed, but all were here to pay their respects. They looked at the fire sadly before winking out one by one. I knew better then to think they had moved on.
"Come on," Dean said quietly as dawn broke, and the fire became ashes. I nodded silently, and the three of us went over to the Impala where Kacie was sleeping in the backseat. The only sounds were the rumble of the engine and Dean's music turned down low as we left the clearing and drove to where the next job was. I was actually looking forward to the hunt. It would give us all something else to focus on.

"There's no such thing as aliens!" I argued with Dean, Kacie and Thing watching us curiously.
"I know Avi, but that's what it looks like," Dean told me. A local boy had disappeared from a cornfield a couple days ago. Thing and Dean had been asking questions around town while I stayed behind with Kacie at the motel.
"Since when is something ever what it looks like?" I asked, "Sorry, but I'm with the sheriff on this. Aliens don't exist."
"Then what took the boy?" he asked me.
"Fairies?" Kacie offered, "Like what that lady said?"
"There's no such thing as fairies either," Thing told her, beating me to it. "That lady was just crazy."
"Like Avi?" Kacie asked seriously, and I bit my lip to keep from laughing.
"No, Avi's crazier," Dean told her, just as seriously, and quickly moved out of the way so I didn't throw something at him. I rolled my eyes, and thought about our mystery monster for a second.
"Could be a Trickster. Was the guy a jerk?"
"Nope," Thing said, popping the p, "Dude was an all around good guy. Captain of the football team, good grades, plenty of friends, volunteered at the local shelter…"
"So then Trickster is out," Dean said, grabbing the car keys.
"Where are you going?" Kacie asked.
"To the corn field, see if there's any clues to what we're hunting," he told her, and I stood up as well.
"I'll come with you. I'm going kinda stir crazy in here." Dean nodded, and I gave Kacie a quick hug good bye before following him.
"Ready for a close encounter?" Dean teased as we pulled out of the parking lot.
"Aliens don't exist," I repeated, looking out the window as the town rolled by, "If they did, someone would have hard proof by now, or hunters would have run into them."
"Yeah, alright," he muttered, and we drove in silence for a few minutes. I could tell Dean was working up to something, and if it was at all chick flicky, I would never let him live it down. Neither of us likes them, so we generally try to avoid them. So, I beat him to the punch, and tried to head it off before it happened.
"I'm fine Dean, don't worry about me."
"So you're perfectly fine with everything that's happened," Dean repeated, glancing at me out of the corner of his eye.
"Yeah," I said, before turning up the music. I sighed when he turned it back down again. Just let it go Dean!
"Why don't I believe you?"
"Because you're being paranoid and annoying," I muttered under my breath. "Look. I'm a big girl, and I can take care of myself. Let's just concentrate on the case before your turn into a girl, alright? Thank you." I turned the music up again, and was relieved when it stayed that way.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
"So the kid was taken right around here," I said, standing in the middle of a giant crop circle. I still wasn't convinced it was aliens though.
"Yeah," Dean told me, on the other side of the clearing. I jogged over when his phone rang. "Hold on," he said before handing it over to me.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Avi, is it okay if I take Kacie to a bar?" Thing asked me.
"WHAT? No! Of course not!" I told them, and Dean looked at me concerned.
"But-"
"I said no."
"Can it be a restaurant with a bar?" Thing pleaded.
"Are you going to pick up a chick?" I asked, and Dean chuckled to himself before walking around the perimeter of the crop circle.
"Well… Uhh…" Thing stammered, and I could hear Kacie giggling in the background. "I don't know."
"You can go, but not picking up girls," I told him sternly, "And don't get drunk. I want Kacie back to the motel room in one piece and unscarred."
"Avi!" Dean shouted panicked, and I could hear him running through the corn. I turned around to see a blindingly bright light following him.
"Dean!" I yelled, and ran after him, pulling my gun.
"What's going on?" Thing asked me.
"Close encounter! Close encounter!" Dean yelled.
"Something's chasing him," I explained, "Aliens are indeed real."
"Ouch. Third kind already. Better tell him to run. I think the fourth kind is a butt thing."
"What?" Kacie asked.
"Dude!" I told him, "Have a little sympathy! And don't you dare explain that to Kacie!" Dean was just a few yards ahead of me when I heard him make his final stand.
"Come on you son of a bitch! Show yourself!" The light flash, and I stumbled to a halt, unable to see.
"Dean!" I called.
"Avi?" Thing asked as I crashed into the clearing.
"Dean!" I repeated, vision clearing.
"Avi, what happened?" Thing demanded.
"He's gone," I whispered, standing in the middle of another crop circle. "Dean's been kidnapped by aliens. We are so screwed."
REVIEW! ^^
Until next time keep reading, writing, and loving Supernatural!
