Two agonizingly slow days later the phone finally rang. Amanda jumped up off the couch and ran to it to see who it was on the caller ID.
"Hey you guys! It says a California call!" She screamed so the other two girls could hear her, as they were both in their separate rooms. She heard footsteps hit the floor and two pairs of feet start to run towards her. As they got closer she decided it would probably be a good idea to pick the phone up.
"Hello?" she said feverously while biting her lower lip.
Megan and Jessica finally entered the room, out of breath, and listening hard to the conversation Amanda was having on the phone.
"Is…is it McG?" Megan asked quietly.
"Yeah! C'mon tell us!" Jessica added, not so quietly.
"Yes, I'll hold," Amanda said nicely before she covered the receiver and glared at the two girls in front of her. "It was a secretary you douches now you have to be quiet."
"Hey put it on speaker...you...Douche," Megan told her affectionately.
"Good idea, twat," Amanda smiled as she hit the speaker button just as a manly sounding voice came onto the speaker.
"Umm, is this….well, ha-ha, I'm not sure which lady you are. Are you Miss Amanda, Megan or Jessica?" The voice asked nicely.
"That doesn't sound like McG," Jessica pointed out in a harsh annoyed tone.
"Well that's because I'm not McG," The voice said, half laughing.
"Oh, um sorry sir, that was Jessica. I'm Amanda and Megan is here too," Amanda told him quickly, trying to cover up Jessica's faux pas.
"Well, Amanda, Jessica and Megan…I'm Eric Kripke,"
The girls' eyes got huge.
"Oh, shit," Megan said quite loudly.
"I often get that reaction," he laughed again.
"I uh, what…" Amanda stuttered out before Eric took over.
"Don't bust anything hunny, because I want to talk to you all about your story."
"You hated it didn't you, DIDN'T YOU??" Jessica started to scream before Megan slapped her across the face and told her to calm down. "Thanks, I needed that."
"Actually, I think your story is phenomenal."
"What?" All three girls said at the same time.
"Yeah, I love it. In fact I want you guys to come out here to LA so we can talk about it in person," He said matter-of-factly.
"Are…are you saying you want to use it?" Amanda asked slowly.
"In short...yes. But I need you girls to come out here so we can look at it together and all that jazz. What do you say? We'll, and by we'll I mean the show, will pay for your way out here."
"Oh nice!" Megan said elated.
"But you are going to have to find your own motel…" He told them.
"Ohh,…..shit…" Megan said defeated.
"I, what Megan was trying to say was, of course we would love to come out to LA and see you. I mean, well you know, talk to you and stuff," Amanda said recovering.
"Good. My secretary will fax you the details and your plane tickets should be on the way within the next couple of days. I'll see you girls soon," and without saying goodbye Eric hung up.
Amanda reached over and hit the speaker button to turn it off and then stared at Megan and Jessica.
---
Their arrival at the airport was to be expected, teaming with people everywhere going here and there to see their families for the holidays. Amanda, Jessica and Megan fought their way through the crowded chaos to retrieve their luggage. Megan was finally gaining some color back in her cheeks, from the long flight to Cali.
"Remind me to find a way to knock myself out for a few hours before we get back on another plane," Megan muttered.
"When you said you didn't fly well, I didn't imagine how not well. That was until I say your face when we took off," Jessica Chided.
"Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen someone get that pale in a split second. I thought you where going to throw up before we even got air bourn. But, hey, at least you lasted fifteen minutes after. I was impressed," Amanda added, with a slight laugh.
Megan glared at both her companions and turned back to the luggage belt spitting out passengers belongings, not yet trusting her stomach to allow the time it took to spit out a clever comeback, before urging her to the nearest restroom. Gathering their belongings they made a break fro the door, to hail a cab, which would take them to their final stop of the day, their hotel.
Once they got there however, they were very surprised at what they saw.
"Wow, it's uhh…well," Megan began.
"Is it just me or does this look nothing like the picture on the web site?" Amanda said, having to do a double take on the hotel room. "The site said it was supposed to be a three star hotel."
"Maybe they are bad at math?" Jessica said as she absent mindedly started walking towards one of the frumpy looking beds with a look of what can only be called horror splayed across her face.
"Ahh!!" Megan screamed, making the other two jump. "Oh my God, I think I saw a dog sized cockroach, and I could swear it was just staring at me…or it winked at me. I'm not too sure which one because I'M TOO FREAKED OUT!"
"Aww, c'mon Megan, it's not so bad," Jessica told her as she went over to open the window. When she did buckets of dust rained onto her just before the window pane creaked toward her and fell out.
Amanda and Megan just stared as Jessica was coughing up dust.
"Uh, yeah, I mean it could be worse," Amanda added as she went over and sat on one of the beds. Just as she did the bed collapsed and folded in half, making a Amanda sandwich. "Oomph!" She grunted. "Help me!"
Megan and Jessica ran over to her and after about twenty minutes they were able to pry her from the wreckage of the bed.
All three girls were silent as the just looked at each other and at the rest of the room.
"Ya know, this looks more like one of those dingy motels the Winchester boys would stay in," Megan said after a few minutes of silence.
"So….you just wanna go get a pizza and call it a day?" Jessica asked in a sad tone.
Megan and Amanda agreed just as the ceiling fan fell inches in front of them.
"How 'bout we go find a nice sit down pizza place…" Amanda inquired.
All the girls agreed before hastily making their way out of the death trap they called their motel room.
That night the three girls all slept in the bathroom with a dirty towel shoved underneath the door to keep the bed bugs from mugging them in their sleep. This of course, left them all a bit cranky the next morning.
"Ugh, my neck is killing me," Megan moaned.
"I could do it faster for you," Jessica grumbled.
Megan glanced at her and opened her mouth to make a comeback but Amanda stopped her.
"Bad idea, just remember she hasn't had her coffee yet, so it's not her talking," Amanda whispered.
"Oh right, yeah," Megan said, her gaze still on Jessica.
"Right, well, I'll just go get us some breakfast," said Amanda.
"Coffee," Jessica growled.
"Yeah of course and coffee, I'll be back any sec." Amanda finished and rushed out the door.
After breakfast and a large amount of coffee the girls got ready for their meeting with Kripke. Megan tucked a can of mace into her pocket, "just in case".
Amanda, Jessica, and Megan walked through the doors of the studio, smiling triumphantly.
"Who would have thought they'd let us in so easily?" Jessica asked, innocently.
"Eh, guess we're just lucky," replied Megan, slipping her mace back into her purse.
"Yeah," Amanda laughed, "guess soooOOOHH MYGOSH OH MYYYYYY GOSHHHHH!"
Megan and Jessica both jumped, cursing. "What, what is it?" they asked in unison.
"JENSEN ACKLES! JARED PADALECKI! EEEEE" Amanda answered excitedly. The other girls looked where she was pointing, and joined in on her elongated vowel shrieking.
Jensen and Jared looked at each other, and then stared at the source of the high pitched screaming. "Oh God, more chicks."
"Hey dude, most guys wouldn't be able to say that. Let's just see what they want and get the hell out of here." Jensen said, turning toward the girls, with a signature model-like grin. "Hey ladies. How can we help you?"
The three girls swooned, but Megan was the first to recover from fangirlitis. "Uh, we um…we were wondering if we could show McG this?" She asked nervously, retrieving the script based on their fanfic from her purse.
The boys looked at each other, relieved.
"Whew, we thought it was gonna be for more autographs. A man's fingers get tired, you know." Jensen remarked.
At this, Megan giggled furiously at the mention of fingers getting tired, while Amanda pushed the pen and autograph book (turned to a page she had covered in hearts, of course) deeper into her own bag.
Jensen joined Megan in laughing after he realized what he had said.
Jared smiled, but rolled his eyes – all business today. He turned to Jessica and asked "So, what's that? A screenplay? Script or somethin'?" He tried to sound interested, but he'd seen a lot of sucky scripts.
"Yeah, a script. The three of us wrote it. We thought….it was good. Good enough to be an episode of Supernatural, maybe…"
"Ohh," Jared said, maybe trying a little too hard.
Jessica's adoring stare at Jared kind of hardened. "Listen. You don't have to like it, but don't knock it 'til you read it."
Jensen stopped laughing and stared at Jared. "Whoa, man. What did you do?"
"Uh, nothin' man, I, uh…" Jared answered, trying to defend himself.
"Whatever. Let us sum it up for you. We think you guys need to do another funny episode. Sooo, what about Bigfoot?" Amanda asked, finally getting the courage to speak to the beautiful men that stood before her.
The boys looked at each other. "Umm." Jared said quietly.
"Well, maybe Bigfoot isn't such a funny guy," Jensen said, turning his attention back to the conversation. There was a pause in the conversation. A conveniently, plot-altering pause. Almost like…a commercial break.
Megan's eyes widened and she nonchalantly flipped through the script. She stopped on page 17 – Dean's line, exactly as it had been said here: "Well, maybe Bigfoot isn't such a funny guy."
"Where have I heard that before?" Amanda asked, looking over at Megan.
"Right here, page 17," Megan whispered as she handed Amanda the script. Amanda read it fast and dropped it at the shock of seeing the exact same dialogue coming out of Jensen's mouth, just as they had written it.
"You okay?" Jared asked her as he bent down and picked the script up for her.
"Uh, what? Oh me? Yeah, yeah I'm just peachy…." She told him, trailing off in her speech.
Jessica took the script from Jared's hands and smiled. "Anyway so you guy's wanna take a look at it or what?"
"Hang on, are you the girls that McG said would be stopping by sometime today?" Jared asked suddenly.
"Oh well yeah, I guess. I mean we emailed him once but he never wrote us back," Megan told him.
"Perhaps he was the reason we got in here so easily, "Jessica said the other two girls.
"Well then we've been expecting you!" Jensen told him throwing his arms in the air as he spoke. "Follow us the Supernatural offices where we can all talk in private."
