A/N: So I changed the title of my fic! I finally found something that was semi-appropriate for the story. Anyway... I wanted to put in some shenanigans, so here we go! Somewhere I realized that I never covered if Gabe and Cas saw each other at the party... so.

Dean came out after everyone had left and saw them still there. "Well, sorry girls, but I am not letting either of you drive in your currently intoxicated state. I'll drive ya both back to Charlie's."

"Aw, c'mon Dean, we're not that drunk." Charlie slurred slightly as she tried to get up. Instead she fell into Dean's shoulder and he caught her before she fell to the floor.

"Sure you're not." Dean replied laughing. "C'mon, Charlie Brown, let's go."

After Dean had gotten both the girls in the car, Charlie turned to him. "So did Gabe ever catch up with Cas? I don't remember seeing either of them at the party."

Dean scoffed lightly under his breath. "Yeah. They left pretty early."

"What happened?"

"Hell if I know. You know Cas, he won't share anything he doesn't want to." Dean smiled, sadly. He'd run into that wall more than once, as had Charlie.

"How's Sam doing?" Sam had gone back to Stanford two days after the party, since the holidays were over.

"Ok, I guess. I mean, the kid lost his girlfriend and the closest thing he had to a real family. He's almost done with school, and he said he's going to move back after the new year."

"Dean, you gave everything for that boy. You're the best family he could ask for." Charlie reached over and laid a comforting hand on Dean's shoulder. She laughed lightly, "Does Luce know that Sam's coming back?"

Dean chuckled and rolled his eyes. "Well Cas and Gabe do, so I can only assume so."

"Hey, Dean. Why don't you have a dinner for everyone on Sunday night? I mean the Black Dog is closed anyway, so you could just have it there. That way you don't have to worry about crowds and whether or not Cas and Gabe kill each other."

"Y'know, that doesn't sound half bad, but I don't know. I mean.. isn't that a little last minute?"

Charlie shrugged, "It was just an idea."

Once Dean had dropped them off, Dorothy headed to bed to sleep off the alcohol. Charlie sat on the couch and texted Benny.

-Hey! This is Charlie. Wanna throw a party?

-Charlie. What are you talking about?

Charlie sighed before she decided to call and talk to Benny instead of type it all out.

"Charlie? So what's going on?" Benny asked when he picked up, sounding half asleep.

"Sorry for waking you up man, but, Dean is feeling really down about what happened to Sam. To top it all off, Cas hasn't talked to his bros in a while, and Dean feels responsible for some reason. I tried to get him to put together a dinner this weekend, but no go. I think we should throw it for him. You in?"

"Sure. Why not, I've got keys to the place, so we can keep it a surprise."

Charlie chuckled lightly. "Thanks, Benny. He just needs something good to happen, y'know."

"You got that one right, girly," Benny said quietly.

"Thanks again, Benny, see you later." After getting a mumbled assent, Charlie hung up, smiling.

-Sam! It's a holiday weekend right?

-Charlie? Yeah.. why, what's up?

-I'm throwing Dean a party thing on Sunday, can you make it?

-Yeah, I guess.

-Awesome! See you there!

-Oh! And don't tell Dean!

-If you say so, Charlie.

Charlie smiled to herself. This plan was working pretty well, now if only she could get the Novak boys in on it.
