Any fun, light-hearted short story involving Celeste, Gabriel and Cas. Feel free to review.
The lights flickered on and off as me and my uncle attempted to outdo each other. The competition was becoming as heated as the bulbs above us. Sweat was actually trickling down our foreheads. Both of us held one hand out, flexing our fingers upward commanding the electrodes to close and open the gate.
"Ready to give in yet, Kiddo? Don't feel bad. I am an archangel. It's only natural that my powers would whip yours," Gabe grinned as he pushed his spin against the couch we were sitting on.
"I've made it this far. Besides it is time to up the tempo," I stated determinedly as Gabe nodded and said sassily,
"Bring it."
Taking a deep breath I urged the electricity to move faster and soon the light became a frantic blur. We both started to laugh until the bulbs exploded and the exhausted ding could be heard; the bulb's last sign of life before we were plunged into darkness.
"Celeste, why did you-" Uncle Cas growled before I cut him off by protesting,
"Why do you instantly blame me? I didn't do this alone."
"She's right bro," Gabe admitted without a hint of guilt present in his smooth voice.
"Was your pathetic competition worth it? Now we have no light and apparently we do not have the materials required to fix it," Cas explained in his gravelly tone that often seemed to ring with displeasure.
"Good thing we have candles. I took the liberty of checking our stock in case our 'pathetic' competition got out of hand. Viola, fire baby. This is what the humans used when they were still licking rocks," Gabriel said comically as he produced and passed us a candle to hold.
As we sat admiring the flames I realised there was something reassuring about having a room lit by candlelight and I was grateful because I knew as long as my uncle Gabe was around we would always find a solution to any problem. It gave me hope.
