Snowed In
Week 3
"And in other news, the snowstorm that was predicted earlier in the week, is rapidly coming closer and it's suggested that residents in the area and the surrounding areas make sure that they have supplies-both food wise and provisions in case of a blackout."
Cas muted the TV and got off his bed; yes it was his bed, Sam and Dean surprised Cas with his very own room, partly because they were tired of sharing a room with him and partly because they wanted him to know that the Bunker was as much as his home as it was theirs, and wandered into the kitchen.
He checked the fridge first and then the cupboards and saw that they didn't have a lot of food. He then went in search of Sam and Dean to tell him his findings. Sam and Dean were in the library, doing research for a case.
"Hey, Cas," Dean said.
"Cas," Sam greeted.
"Sam, Dean there is a snow storm coming and I see that we have no food." Cas replied.
"We have food, just not a lot of it." Dean answered.
"And we can't go out now. We are close to finding a way to kill the Red Cap," Sam supplied.
"Well, make a list and I'll go," Cas replied.
Sam and Dean looked at each other and shrugged. Sam pulled out a piece of paper and began to write out the list while Dean got money for Cas. Dean of course told Sam not to forget the pie; like Sam would.
Once the list was done, Sam gave it to Cas and Dean gave him the money. Cas nodded and popped to the grocery store. Cas was shocked to see the way that the people were acting; it was like they thought the world was ending.
Cas was surprised to see that a lot of shelves were either empty or almost empty and he hopped that he could find everything on the list. He saw people were pushing things that San had told him previously were called carts. He went to look for one, an old lady was taking her bags out and Cas asked if he could have it. She agreed and then he took out the list and began to look for the items.
Cas had never been shopping before and he didn't know where to find the items or even if he would find them. He began wandering down the aisles, he found the first couple of items easily but the next item on the list, toilet paper, was hard to find because there was none in the shelves. Cas looked for someone who worked at the store to ask but they were all running around and too busy to stop.
Cas went to look for the other items, and then the pie for Dean. He didn't know what kind of pie Dean liked so he got three kinds; Apple, blueberry and lemon.
He then went to look for the place to pay. He followed a woman and her child and they led him to the checkout. Again Cas was surprised when he saw the lines of people waiting to pay.
It took a long time but Cad finally got up to the young girl behind the counter. He loaded up the groceries on the belt and waited for the girl to start with his items.
"Do you want any bags?" The girl asked.
"Yes," Cas replied.
"How many?" The girl questioned.
"How many what?" Cas asked.
"Bags." The girl replied.
"Oh! I don't know. I've never been shopping before." Cas answered.
The girl looked at Cas, and then looked at what Cas had and placed five bags on top of the groceries.
Once the girl had all the items checked through she said," that'll be $64.60."
Cas nodded, took out the money that Dean gave him, looked at the numbers and handed over sixty-five dollars to the girl. She smiled at Cas which he returned and Cas began to put the items in the bags.
Before leaving, Cad said to the girl, "do you know where I can get toilet paper?"
"Check the pharmacy or another grocery store."
Cas thanked the girl, grabbed the bags and was about to pop to the pharmacy when he remembered Dean's warning about humans not accustomed with people popping in and out of a place.
After leaving the store, Cas made sure there were no humans around and popped to the pharmacy. He was once again meet with the sight of humans acting as if the world was ending.
Snow was steadily falling and people were acting crazier. Cas found an employee who directed him to where the toilet paper was and Cas was glad when he was able to find some. After paying, Cas popped back to the Bunker.
"You've been gone awhile." Dean commented.
"Yes, the humans are acting as if the world is ending," Cas replied.
Sam and Dean chuckled and San said, "yeah, happens all the time."
Cas was confused but Sam and Dean didn't commented just started to unload the groceries and put them away. Dean was happy when he saw the three kinds of pie. Sam asked Cad if there was any money left and Cad handed over the change.
Sam volunteered to make dinner and Dean went to pick out a movie for them to watch. Cas stood there and thought it might be fun to be snowed in and he was right.
It snowed a lot and they would have lost electricity if it wasn't for their backup generator. The guys didn't worry about the Red Cap or any other big bads. They just ate, played pranks on each other and watched movies. Cas had a lot of fun and couldn't wait for the next snowstorm.
