"Morning Mrs Angelo!" Tessa greeted as she came downstairs in her running gear.

"Good morning dear", the older woman greeted back "Oh, before you go, a package came for you".

"A package?" Tessa repeated, interested. Mrs Angelo held out a rectangle shaped parcel wrapped in brown paper. The blonde took the package from the woman and tore off the paper. It was a book with Rebel Just For Kicks on the cover. Tessa cracked it open and skimmed through a few pages. She gasped, nearly dropping the book when she saw that it was about her!

"What's wrong?" the older woman asked, moving closer. Tessa was quick to snap the book closed, tucking it under her arm.

"Nothing. Just a shocking scene", the blonde answered quickly "I'm um…gonna put this away", she added and hastily ran upstairs. As soon as she got to her room, she closed the door and plonked herself on the bed. Tessa sat the book which seemed to be a first draft of a novel and slowly opened it again. "Oh my god…" she breathed as she took in what she was reading. It had everything in there. When she first met both Aziraphale and Anthony…though it called him Crowley on the pages. Hers and Anthony's first kiss. When they… Tessa closed the book, her face bright red. It was one thing to sleep with the demon, it was another thing entirely to read about it in such vivid detail. How this Carver Edlund person knew about the most intimate aspect of her relationship with Crowley, she had no idea. But she definitely wanted to find out. It seemed like someone else wanted her to know too as there was a note sprawled across the last page of the novel.

The truth lies at this address

Good luck

Tessa took note of the address before she placed the book into her shoulder bag. Looks like she was going on a little road trip. The blonde packed a small overnight bag just in case she needed to stop anywhere and then was on her way to find the truth, whatever that may be.

Tessa got out her little car, opposite the address and was about to cross the road when she saw the Winchester's Impala sitting there. Sam and Dean were showing a third man in a robe something in their boot. "Nope. Nuh uh", she said to herself. She didn't want anything to do with those lads. The blonde started to get into her car when Dean called to her.

"Hey, Tessa!"

"Shit", the woman cursed. She straightened up "I don't want anything to do with you!" she shouted at them "I'm done!"

"Wait, are you Tessa Nightingale?" the third man, Chuck Shirley, called.

"Yeah I am", the blonde reluctantly replied.

"Then this is where you need to be", Chuck told her and she groaned under her breath. She locked up her vehicle and with absolute reluctance, followed them inside.

"Ok, so I'm told this is where the truth lies", Tessa said taking out the book from her bag.

"You had book written about you?" Dean asked, interested. Neither he nor Sam had heard of one based on the blonde.

"I do", Tessa confirmed "not that you're reading it". There was no way she wanted either brother to know about her private life prior to dropping into their world. It was none of their damn business. She shoved the novel at Chuck "Start talking", she ordered.

"How much have you read?" Chuck asked her.

"Enough to know that you somehow are aware of some pretty intimate and private moments between Anthony and myself", Tessa replied, angrily.

"I know you're upset…"

"No shit Sherlock!" the blonde snapped.

"But theres a bit in here you need to read", Chuck said calmly opening the book to the last few pages and handed it back, pointing to a passage. Tessa read the section, her eyes widening at the words.

"Is...is this real?" she breathed, staring at Chuck, tears in her eyes. The man nodded in confirmation.

"Yes, Tessa. They're here in this world", he said.

"Who, Chuck?" Sam questioned watching as several emotions flickered across the blonde's face, including relief.

"Anthony and Azira", Tessa answered before the man could "the love of my life and my best friend" she hugged the writer "thank you, Chuck".

"You're welcome", he said patting her back "good luck and I wish you all the best". Tessa gave him a smile and left the house.

The florist walked to her car with a slight spring in her step and the smile fixed on her face. This was the best news that she'd had in a while! Her smile dropped upon noticing a certain guy in a suit. "Oh no, no, no. I'm not dealing with you today", she said firmly "you're not spoiling my good mood".

"Why are you in a good mood?" Crowley questioned, rather happy to see her well…happy. Especially after everything she'd been through.

"Well, if you must know, my boyfriend is in this world somewhere, along with my best friend", Tessa said, giddily.

"Oh, that's…great", Crowley remarked, his heart sinking. He should be happy for her, he really should but he was finding it hard to be. Having her Crowley here was going to make things much more difficult.

"You don't sound so thrilled", the blonde remarked, noting the tone in his voice.

"No, I AM happy for you it's just…" Crowley trailed off. He desperately wanted to tell her the truth about himself! But he couldn't. It would only serve to make things more complicated and confusing.

"Just what?" Tessa gently pressed. As upset as she was at seeing him again, given how they left things last time, she couldn't help feel a bit concerned seeing that he was really conflicted about something.

"It's nothing", Crowley said, dismissively.

"Well, it clearly isn't. Something is bothering you", Tessa stated "tell me", she added softly.

"Tessa I…" he broke off when an adorable white husky pup came wandering over.

"Aw!" the blonde cooed, scooping it up "you're so cute". She laughed when the puppy licked her nose. Crowley knew that wasn't a normal canine, it was a baby Hellhound. Not that he was going to point that out yet.

"Tessa I…" Crowley swallowed "there's something I do need to tell you but its rather unbelievable".

"Trust me, Mark, there's nothing you can say that I won't believe", Tessa stated, setting the puppy down, giving him her full attention.

"My name isn't Mark Jones. I'm…" Crowley hesitated "I'm Anthony Crowley. An Anthony Crowley since your boyfriend is here too".

"What are you saying?" Tessa demanded, trying to wrap her head around his words.

"He and I are one and the same…technically. I came from a world very much like the one you left but I lost my Tessa…"

"Stop. Just stop", Tessa interrupted "this is impossible!"

"Isn't not" Crowley took a step towards her but she moved back, making him stop "I can prove it. The morning you discovered saw my real eyes and you found out the truth, you weren't scared. You called my eyes beautiful…"

"Stop", Tessa whispered, tears welling up in her eyes. The demon didn't stop, he carried on. He had to make her understand that he and the Crowley she knew where the same demon…essentially, even if their appearances where different.

"We danced to Don't Go Breaking My Heart in your kitchen…we nearly had our first kiss if the phone hadn't gone off…"

"Stop it!" Tessa cried. Wind whipped around them as she grew more overwhelmed by what he was telling her. Crowley tried to get closer to her but was thrown backwards.

"Tessa!" he shouted as the rather distraught woman had taken off, the wind dying down which allowed him to chase after her.

"Leave me alone!" Tessa shouted back. She honestly didn't know what she was doing and hadn't realised that she'd run out into the road, to get away from 'Mark', until it was almost too late. Luckily, Crowley had thrown himself across the tarmac, tackling her out of the way on the oncoming vehicle. The pair lay sprawled on the ground on the opposite, both panting. The young woman stared up at the demon, who was partly on top of her and she could've sworn that for just a moment, his eyes changed yellow and snake-like.

Crowley didn't move as she slowly raised a hand, gently touching his cheek. Her fingers moved to his hairline, lightly tracing the snake tattoo, or where it would be if he was the ginger haired demon. "It is you", she breathed, finally seeing it. A tear rolled down her cheek which Crowley caught with his finger. The demon helped her to her feet and she hugged him tightly. "I'm sorry", she mumbled, tears running more freely now "I'm so sorry".

"It's alright", he said gently, though his heart soared at having her finally in his arms, being unconscious didn't count.

Tessa glanced up at him with tear filled eyes "What do I do now?" she whispered. Yet again her entire world had been tipped over and she didn't know what to do… she felt so lost.

"Come back with me", Crowley offered "I'm not going to make you if you don't want to…"

"I want to", Tessa gently cut in. The Demon nodded and let her to where his car was parked, having already used his powers to put what little stuff she had with her inside the vehicle. The blonde lightly ran her fingers over the Bentley, brushing away the tears that had fallen. A pawing at her legs made her look down to see that the husky pup had followed them. "Of course you can come to", she said, picking him up "I'll have to think of a name for you" she softly remarked "any ideas?" the canine just blinked at her "gee thanks for all your help", she said with pretend annoyance. She got into the front passenger seat with the puppy carefully secured on her lap as Crowley drove off.

"My shoes aren't a chew toy!" Tessa heard Crowley shout from outside of the greenhouse, making her chuckle. It seemed like Ghost had gotten into cupboard with the demon's footwear again. She shook her head and continued tending to the flowers that were looking at little bit poorly. About a week had passed since the demon's revelation and she'd pretty much gotten used to it. There were still some occasions where it was hard to swallow but that was to be expected. Her Crowley was never far from her mind and she couldn't wait for the day when she would be finally reunited with him AND her favourite angel. It honestly wasn't hard for Aziraphale to be her favourite since all the others were complete and utter douchebags.

The young Hellhound raced into the greenhouse, shoe in his mouth. Tessa laughed as Crowley chased after him with only one shoe on…she had never seen a funnier sight! "A little help?" he asked, balancing one on foot as he was trying to avoid the dirt that was scattered around the floor.

Tessa scooped up Ghost and carefully pried the shoe out of his mouth. She tossed it to Crowley before producing a ball from her pocket. The blonde threw the ball away and the little hellhound launched himself out of her arms and went careening after it.

Ghost's path sent him straight into Crowley, who'd just about put his shoe on and bowled him over. Tessa went over to the demon and held out a hand to him. Instead of her pulling him up, he tugged her down on top of him. "Whoops", he said but Tessa knew he'd done it on purpose.

The pair made no effort to move as they stared at each other. Before the two of them knew it, they were leaning in closer….lips barely touching when… a rubber ball sailed over their heads, Ghost following suit. "Ghost, watch out!" Tessa shouted scrambling of off Crowley to chase after the canine. The demon watch her use her earth powers to grab hold of the dog before he collided with the pillar that had a vase carefully balanced on top. "You need to be more careful", she said, scolding the pup and she scooped him up again, walking out of the greenhouse completely forgetting Crowley.

The demon picked himself up, brushing the dirt off his clothes, grumbling under his breath at how that damned dog had ruined what was almost a moment between himself and Tessa. They'd grown a lot closer this past week, that was for sure. It was definitely a good idea for him to tell her the truth about himself.
