Ok so here is my little filler chapter. I just thought it would be kind of funny, but if you don't like weed or hearing about weed or any of that then don't read this chapter because it is mentioned a lot because this chapter is based off of a weird dream I had after I had to take cold medicine when I was sick. Basically I got high with the boys and it was hilarious and one of my favorite and most vivid dreams, cold medicine does weird things to my brain. But like I said if it will offend you in any way just don't read it because I don't want to upset anyone, but it will be pretty funny I hope! Enjoy!
Aubri was out walking with Sam and Folsom, trying to work some of the stiffness out of her leg that she had landed on during the fight with the trickster. She turned and looked up at Sam as she walked along next to him, "So what's next?" She asked quietly.
"We find another hunt. Old yellow eyes seems to be laying low for now so until we have something new to go on we do what we can to help other people, the family business. Hopefully you will remember what happened to you the night you ended up here so we can figure out how to get you home, but in the mean time you can stick with us if you want or I'm sure Bobby wouldn't mind having you and Folsom hanging around while we figure everything out, he seemed to really like you two."
Aubri thought about what she wanted to do next. The gash on her head, her seriously bruised shoulder and hip, and her cracked rib were enough to prove that life on the road with the Winchester brothers wasn't a picnic, but it was exciting. She just didn't know if that excitement was worth risking her life on a regular basis. It had felt good though, knowing she made a difference even if no one would know about it. It also felt good, putting some of what she learned in class to use. Who knew that her seemingly useless major would come in handy. She would be lying if she said she wasn't just itching to find a demon and see if that exorcism she had done a project on would actually work. All those things that were just myths and useless tidbits of information in her world were actually useful here. She had spent all that time trying to figure out what she would actually do with her life after she graduated and now she was in a place where she could do something with all that she learned, she could make a difference. She honestly wasn't even sure that she wanted to remember what happened to her, because if she did that meant she would go home and go back to being the boring nerd who could probably help you out on the Halloween special of Jeopardy. She cleared her throat as she watched her feet shuffle along on the concrete, "Well, since I'm stuck here anyways I might as well stick with you guys." She smiled at him, "Seeing as how both of you want me to stay since Dean told me the same thing about sticking with you guys last night when you went to get first aid stuff. Folsom is coming to though. Maybe if it takes a while to figure out what is going on with us he can go stay with Bobby every now and then since he liked him so much, but for now he is along for the ride."
"Of course." Sam said laughing, "It will do Dean some good to loosen up some about the car and having a drooling dog in it all the time will definitely help."
Aubri opened her mouth to say something about Dean and "his baby", but was cut off when a disheveled looking guy ran up to them. "Hey." He managed to get out between gasps for air. "I'm Don," he stuck out his hand to Sam who looked at him with a confused look on his face. Don quickly dropped his hand after Sam hesitated, "I saw you two walking and I was just wondering if you would like to buy some brownies. We're uh… we're selling them to raise money for um… charity, yeah charity."
"What kind of charity?" Sam asked suspiciously as Aubri studied the guy. Something about him looked familiar, like he was a version of a person from her world in this world.
Don looked a little flustered and his face screwed up as he thought, "Sick kids," he said snapping his fingers and pointing at Sam, "that's right, cancer kids, sick cancer kids. Come on man, you can't say no to giving money to sick kids with cancer, that's just cruel." Don looked over his shoulder quickly as if he was worried he was being followed. He looked back at them just as quickly and held up a Ziploc bag with three decent sized brownies in it. "Ten dollars man, three big ass double chocolate brownies for only ten bucks. You can't pass it up."
Sam was starting to look like he just wanted the guy to go away so he pulled his wallet out of his pocket and fished out ten dollars. "Here." He said as he shoved the money towards Don and grabbed the brownies out of his hand before Don had a chance to take off with the money and the brownies.
"Thanks man!" Don said with a quick salute before shoving his hands in his pockets and strolling off.
"That was strange." Sam said as he eyed the brownies.
Aubri couldn't help but laugh, "Really?"
Sam raised his eyebrows as he looked at her, "What?"
"We just got our asses kicked, well I got my ass kicked, last night killing a trickster, a trickster, a fucking mythological being and we killed it and you are saying some random guy selling brownies for charity on a college campus is weird? I just can't with you right now." Aubri shook her head as she smiled at how crazy her life had become over the past few days. If she was being honest with herself though she had to admit that, despite the ass whooping she got last night, she was kind of loving it.
The rest of the walk back to the motel Aubri tried to figure out where she recognized the guy who had sold them the brownies from. As they walked through the door, it hit her; the guy had been a dealer back in her world. One of the pot heads in one of her religion classes bought from him and his specialty had been weed brownies. She wouldn't be surprised if he was the same here, so that meant the brownies that Sam had bought from him were weed brownies. He must have been close to getting in trouble for dealing and that was why he sold them to them for so cheap. Aubri had only smoked once before and she wasn't really a fan of it because of the smell it left behind, but once the pot head in her class had been in a study group with her and they kind of became friends. She couldn't remember his name, but he had invited her to some party and had split one of those brownies with her and it was one of the greatest and weirdest nights of her life. She had felt so loose, so fluid, like she could just flow around things, like there was a current pulling her and she just had to go with it. She hadn't had one again after that time, just because she never felt the need to, but if those brownies were what she thought they were then she wasn't opposed to one, and maybe playing a little joke on Sam since he was so clueless about what they were.
She walked over to the fridge as Sam went and sat on the edge of one of the beds. Dean looked over at her and she motioned for him to come over. When he got closer and opened his mouth to speak she shushed him. "In honor of the trickster, would you like to play a little joke on Sam?" She asked in a slightly evil whisper, raising one eyebrow questioningly.
Dean couldn't help but smile at the devilish glint in Aubri's eyes, "Oh yeah, what do you have in mind?"
"Well, I'm pretty sure Sammy over there just unsuspectingly bought some weed brownies from a guy who was a dealer back in my world. I was thinking, we get him to eat one and we either toss ours or eat them, whatever you want, and just make him think he is basically losing his mind by acting like everything is normal while he is high as a motherfucking kite."
Dean's eyes widened, how could someone who looked so sweet and innocent come up with something like this, on a scale of spoon-on-the-nose-while-you're-sleeping to Nair-in-the-shampoo evil this ranked just below Nair, and he loved it. The best part was Sam would never know and if he figured it out Dean could always shove the blame on Aubri since she was the one who came up with the idea. "I like the way you think sweetheart." He said under his breath as he smiled at her, leaning in closer to her.
Aubri placed her hands on his chest and stood on her tip toes so she could get closer to his face. She could feel Dean's heart race as she whispered in his ear, "I'm not your sweetheart." She pushed off of his chest lightly, giving him a sly wink before she walked over to sit in one of the chairs near the bed Sam was sitting on. "So you gonna share the goodies with me and Dean?" she asked sweetly.
Dean blinked his eyes slowly and let out a shaky breath, willing his heart to slow down, "I'm in trouble." He said quietly to himself as he went and sat down in the other chair near Aubri. "Yeah come on Sam, don't be a jerk."
Sam huffed slightly as he opened the Ziploc bag and handed each of them a brownie. Aubri took a bite out of her brownie, knowing that Sam might need a little convincing to eat some. "Mmmmm, tasty." She mumbled through a mouthful of brownie.
Sam took a few bites out of his brownie, a contemplative look on his face as he chewed it slowly, "Hmm, not bad." He said as he continued to eat the brownie.
Dean had taken two bites before he set his brownie to the side and Aubri took a few more bites of hers before doing the same. They all sat in silence for a little while; the only sound in the room was the voices that came from the TV in the background. Aubri leaned back in her chair, propping her injured leg up on the arm of the chair as she turned sideways in it so she could see Sam and Dean better. She closed her eyes as she felt her senses slowly numbing slightly. She hadn't eaten enough of the brownie to really affect her, just enough to chill her out. Sam on the other hand had polished off his brownie and was now laying back looking at the ceiling intently.
Sam lazily ran a hand through his hair, "Do you guys just ever think about…" he trailed off for a moment, Aubri and Dean staring at him expectantly, before he picked up where he left off, "about what we do, about what goes on around us?" He sat up quickly, a slightly wild and crazed look in his eyes, "We hunt monster's Dean, we do stuff that crazy people are supposed to be the only ones thinking about and we are sane, well most of the time, well I'm sane, well I don't know about that actually. I mean how sane can someone who has visions be." He chuckled to himself before continuing his ramblings, "What if we are actually crazy people Dean? Or maybe I'm the crazy one and I just made you guys up to cope. What if this is all in my head? You know that would make a lot more sense than monster's being real." Sam looked around the room slowly, analyzing his surroundings, before he flopped back onto the bed and put his arms behind his head. "Yeah this is all in my head."
Dean placed his hand over his heart, "You're saying I'm not real man? That hurts."
Aubri narrowed her eyes, "Sam, I think you just described an episode of Buffy. I wonder if that is real here. Or maybe there is another parallel universe where that is real. Why couldn't I have gone there? That would have been so nice. I could have fought vampires with them and gotten with Spike. Mmmm I'd tap that any day of the week." She mused to herself as she gazed up at the ceiling.
Dean looked at her in disbelief before turning his attention back to Sam, "Dude, this isn't in your head ok? This is the real world. There are evil things, we kill them, and we save people."
Sam laughed, "Yeah because that is so normal and makes so much sense. Nope, this is a coping mechanism. This is how I am dealing with whatever is going on in the real world outside of my head."
"So you would rather have this be fake and have there be some other world that you are in that is so bad that you have to cope by making this warm and fuzzy alternative up in your head. If that's the truth then your real life must suck because this isn't the alternate world I would have imagined."
"Maybe you're right." Sam said sitting up slowly.
Dean scoffed, "Of course I'm right."
Sam cocked his head to the side and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Is the room moving guys?"
"No, why?" Aubri asked, looking at him curiously.
"Because it's moving that's why. Everything is spinning just a little and I can't stop talking. I think something is messing with me you guys. Something is haunting me or maybe it's the trickster. Are you sure you killed him Dean? You hit his heart right? Are you sure you hit his heart?" Sam asked as he looked around wildly.
Dean rolled his eyes, "Yes Sam, you saw it, right to the heart. All of the things he made show up disappeared to. It's not the trickster and nothing is haunting you." Of course he gets all panicky about this. He can't just let us have some fun with him. Now we have to babysit paranoid Sam. Dean looked at Aubri pointedly and cleared his throat to get her attention. Once she looked up he motioned for her to come closer so he could tell her something.
Aubri sighed and lifted herself out of the chair, gingerly placing her weight on her injured leg and wincing slightly. She sat on the arm of Dean's chair and leaned into him slightly, trying not to draw attention to her sudden move. "What?" She whispered as she dropped her head closer to his.
"I think this evil little scheme of yours is backfiring. We're gonna have to end up babysitting crazy Sam if he doesn't find out what is actually going on soon." He hated to ruin the fun, but he also didn't want to deal with Sam getting all worked up over nothing, he had had enough of that after the laptop debacle this past week. Dean looked at her out of the corner of his eye and his heart sped up slightly as his eyes met hers. She smelled like strawberries, it must have been that fruity looking shampoo she bought when he took her to the store. God, why was he noticing things like that? He did not notice things like that.
Aubri smiled slightly as Dean's eyes met hers and she felt her face heat up a little and she looked away quickly just as he did before he could notice the blush spreading across her face. She felt lightheaded and a little giddy, but she couldn't tell if it was from that moment when their eyes met or if it was from the brownie. Definitely from the brownie. She thought as she leaned into Dean's side a little more. She heard a giggle come from Sam's direction. "What?" She asked.
"Nothing." He said smiling idiotically.
"Sam what is so funny?" She asked again.
"You two." He said gesturing towards me and Dean. "You're getting all cozy together."
Aubri sat up quickly and scooted as far away from Dean as she could without falling off of the armrest of the chair. She laughed nervously while she blushed, avoiding looking at Dean who was shifting around uncomfortably in the chair and avoiding looking at her as well. "Sam, you're high." Aubri said with a nervous laugh.
"Yeah right, look at you two; you're all weird now that I caught you being all close and stuff." Sam said, stupid grin still plastered on his face.
Aubri sighed and rolled her eyes, "No Sam, really, you're high." She cut him off when he opened his mouth to protest, "Those brownies you bought from that guy, they were pot brownies. You are actually high. Dean and I were playing a joke on you, but it didn't turn out to be as funny as I thought it would be. You have been all uptight about your laptop and everything these past few days that I thought it might be funny, in honor of the trickster, to get you to loosen up a little."
Sam's mouth hung open as he stared at her, "You guys let me eat drugs."
"It was her idea man." Dean said, pointing at Aubri as she glared at him through narrowed eyes.
Sam huffed and flopped back on the bed, "Can someone get me a glass of water?" He said as he resumed staring at the ceiling, taking in what they had just told him.
Aubri obliged and went and filled up a glass of water. She walked back over to Sam and handed him the glass, avoiding meeting his eyes, "I'm sorry Sam." She said quietly.
He chuckled quietly to himself, "Oh just wait, you guys started this, but don't worry, I'll finish it." He took a sip of the water and went back to planning what pranks he was going to pull to get them back.
Aubri went back to her chair near Dean and leaned forward towards him, "What does he mean by 'I'll finish it'?" she asked quietly.
Dean shook his head solemnly, "I think he just declared war." He looked up at her, "Prepare yourself sweetheart, these things get nasty and we don't fight fair."
Aubri eyed Sam cautiously out of the corner of her eye as he grinned up at the ceiling, no doubt plotting her downfall.

The room was shaking. Folsom was cowering into her side, whimpering quietly. How was the house still standing? She was going to die, her house was going to fall around her and she was going to die. Then everything stopped, it was almost as if time itself stopped. Then came the light, the blinding white light, then nothing.
Aubri gasped as she sat up straight in her bed. She was drenched with sweat and breathing heavily. Dean sat up quickly, concern evident on his face, as Folsom jumped up on the bed and nudged Aubri's face, whining. "Aubri, are you ok?" He asked gruffly.
"I remembered." She said as she grabbed her glasses off of the bedside table. "I remember."
"You remembered what?" Dean asked as he got up and sat on the bed next to her.
"I remember what happened that night before I got here." She said breathlessly.
I'm really sorry it took me so long to get this posted you guys. School has been taking over everything and my updates are going to be super slow coming up because finals are almost here and I have to study loads. I hope you liked it, it was just kind of a lame little filler. As always, review at will!
