It was noon on a Saturday. The mission was over. Gabriel had left Cheryl, promising to remain (in one way) as Cheryl's guardian angel, always able to hear her call. Dean and Sam leaned side by side against the hood of the Impala in my dorm's back parking lot under a maple tree half-full of orange leaves, and Cheryl and I stood in front of them clutching small packages. Unintelligible music played softly out the open car windows. I stepped forward and handed Dean my parting gift- a veritable picnic basket filled with bacon sandwiches, bottles of soda, and a cherry pie I had baked earlier that day in the dorm's kitchenette. "This isn't even a question. You guys are exchanging phone numbers and keeping-in-touch." I said, emphasizing the last bit by leaning forward on each word and raising my eyebrows. "If you can, tell Castiel that Dean whistled appreciatively as he looked in the basket. "Hell, if you give us THIS every time we meet, I'll call you everyday!" Cheryl smiled and handed Sam her gift. "It's a cd. I filled it with songs that either reminded me of you two or songs that I'm sure you've never heard before but I think you'll enjoy. Listen to number three, Sam. I think you'll like it." "Thanks," Sam said as he turned it over and looked at the track listing she had written on the back. "But I'm skipping Katy Perry." She put out her arms and grinned. "Now give me a hug, ya bitch." Our friendly embraces felt like an eternity, Cheryl occasionally fumbling over who put their arms on top and who on bottom. After exchanging phone information (Sam entering our names and numbers in because Dean couldn't figure out the touchscreen), they got in the car and Sam slid the cd into the adapter he'd installed. As they pulled out of the lot, we heard the booming sounds of Motorhead turn into the softer strumming of "You're a Wolf" by Sea Wolf.
{A/N: so... there it is. This took entirely too long to finish and even now I'm thinking this ending is a bit cheesy (and short), but my sub-par writing will have to do. If you're interested, my friend that goes by the userid Levanael has written a companion piece/kind of sequel to this called "Fall With Me" and it is amazing compared to mine. Check that out.
Please review if you have the time. Tell me what you hated, loved, didn't get, etc. It feeds me.}
