"SONUVABITCH! What the hell is going on here?!" Dean came barreling at the two of them, gun in hand.

Julianna jumped back and almost tripped over the coffee table. She hadn't even heard them come in the door. She had been lost in the feeling of dancing and moving so close and slow with someone else. She finally understood why her human charges had liked dancing so much over the years.

Steven grabbed her and stopped her from falling over the coffee table.

Dean moved like lightning and pulled Julianna away from him. Jules felt herself being "flung", for lack of a better description, to Sam who then put her behind him in protective mode.

Steven threw his hands up in the air. He knew one thing and that is he didn't want to be on the bad side of any Winchester.

"Whoa. It's me Steven. Steven Foster. Your father hunted on occasion with my father. We were just dancing dude."

"Who the hell are you calling Dude? I'm not your dude!" Dean was still in fight stance with gun in hand.

"I tested him before I let him in Dean." Julianna could barely see Dean past Sam who was keeping her directly behind him. "Sam? I did test him. He is fine." She wasn't sure if either one of them was listening to her. They didn't seem to acknowledge her at all.

"What the hell are you doing here and where is Bobby? JULIANNA, where is Bobby?" Dean commanded a response.

Julianna responded quickly. Steven seemed to have gone a bit speechless and was keeping an eye focused on the gun in Dean's hand as well as the knife in Sam's.

"He is on a date with Sheriff Mills."

Sam questioned her then. "A date with Jody? Really?"

Jules shook her head yes. "Steven said that Bobby was expecting him but he must have forgotten. He was coming over for some research on a hunt." She tried to get around Sam but he just put his arm out and kept her back.

Sam looked at her and then at Steven. "Didn't look like research when we came in and what are you wearing?"

Dean took a second to glance at Julianna. He hadn't really noticed that she was in a dress. For some reason, that just made him madder.

"It's a dress Sam." She said sarcastically. "Steven bought it for me. We were going to start working but Steven thought I should try dancing first." Julianna was getting frustrated at that point.

"I bet he did." Dean's glare was fixated at Steven.

"Dean, please. You are embarrassing me. It was just a dance."

"Not another word from you Jules! I will deal with you later." Dean's voice was loud and serious. He did not like surprises and this surprised him. He gave her one of his no-nonsense looks and then concentrated back on Steven.

She was confused. What did he mean by that? Had she done something wrong? Since when does Dean "deal with her" about anything? No matter, she knew better than to say another word until she was told. He seemed really angry.

Sam spoke then. "Steve, I think you better find another place to stay tonight. You can call Bobby. If he was expecting you and just forgot, you two can work it out then."

Steven was at the end of his patience then. "Listen, you two don't own Bobby you know. I have every right to be here. Why don't you call him? He will tell you that he was expecting me."

"Why don't you call him, from your car as you drive out of here like my brother said?" Dean was still glaring at him.

"I will do that and I will be accepting your apology tomorrow. Bye Julianna. You still owe me a dance."

Steve grabbed his bag and stalked to the door.

"Like hell she does." Dean followed Steve out the door.

Julianna wanted to apologize to him for Dean and Sam but knew she better keep quiet. Dean came back in and slammed the front door shut as Sam relaxed and put the knife away.

Dean walked straight to Julianna and looked her over. "You want to tell me what that was all about?"

Julianna was confused again. She kept her voice steady but her anger was showing through. "What are you talking about? He was teaching me to dance, that is all. You really embarrassed me Dean. I'm not a child."

"You know better than to let anyone in this house when Bobby isn't here, don't you? If that isn't rule number one, it should be." Dean was just as angry and not afraid to show it. The conversation quickly became a shouting match.

"But, I know Steven and I tested him."

"I DON'T CARE! You know you shouldn't have let him in and judging from how close you were dancing, it looked like you were planning on letting him in even closer!"

"Dean!" Sam gave him his best disapproving look.

Julianna was a little unsure what he meant by that. Reading Sam's reaction, she was shocked and then angry as she realized what he was implying. "You can't tell me what to do Dean. You are not my brother and you are not Bobby! I didn't do anything wrong!"

"Like hell I can't. When Cas and Bobby aren't here, you will answer to me Jules! I better NEVER see what I saw tonight again!"

"Just because you have a dirty mind, doesn't mean that we were doing anything but dancing Dean Winchester!"

"Go change your clothes now! We will see what Bobby says when he gets home!"

Julianna fumed at him. How could he be so mad at her? She didn't do anything!

"Listen just because you are practically married to my brother doesn't make you my boss when he isn't around!"

Dean faltered for a minute. Married to her brother? What the hell does that mean?

Sam was surprised at the sarcastic remark. He didn't expect that from Julianna but Dean's face was priceless.

Dean recovered quickly. "I said Go change your clothes, NOW! And, thanks to your smart mouth, you can stay in your room until Bobby comes home!"

Julianna was shocked by this reaction from Dean. "You can't send me to my room.…. Sam?" Julianna faltered on her words.

She looked to Sam for support but all he did was point upstairs in support of his brother. Even Sam? She should have known that they would stick together.

Julianna bit her lip and took a deep breath. She silently retrieved her usual clothes from the bathroom and went upstairs to her room.

What happened to her, she thought as she changed back into her regular clothes. She is a 200-year-old angel who is being bossed around by toddlers in comparison at best. Julianna was fuming. If Bobby took their side, she was going to be even madder. Julianna took another deep breath. She has to watch her temper. It always gets her into trouble. She tried to calm down.

Meanwhile downstairs, Dean was furious.

"What the hell did she mean by that, married to her brother, comment?"

Sam just nodded as if he didn't know without looking at Dean. He didn't want him to see the smirk on his face.

Dean was pacing back and forth. "Do you realize what could have happened if we hadn't come in? You said to keep driving to the next town. Aren't you glad I didn't listen?"

"Dean, what do you plan on doing? You can't protect her forever and really, that is Cas' job anyway. She is mostly human. She is bound to show some interest in the opposite sex. You of all people should understand that." Sam tried to bring the mood down a notch.

"Sammy, I do understand that. That is the problem. I know what that Steve guy had on his mind. Besides, I always thought she liked Bobby. She always has acted like that. I bet this is going to hurt him."

"Dean, Bobby is on a date with another woman. I'm pretty sure that means that he isn't interested in Julianna like that. Besides, that isn't our business and you know it."

"I know people Sam. I especially know Bobby. He is denying things. It is what he is good at."

"You should know Dean." Sam said sarcastically referring to Julianna's comment about him and Cas. He enjoyed the way it made Dean uncomfortable.

"Now, what in the hell is that supposed to mean?" Dean was beginning a new argument with Sam when Bobby walked in.

"Hey boys. I didn't know you were coming tonight."

XXXXXXXXXX

Dean confronted Bobby at the door.

"Where the hell have you been young man? Do you know it is 11:00?"

"Very funny Dean." Bobby pushed his way past him and into the living room.

"I'm not kidding Bobby. What were you thinking going off and leaving Julianna by herself?" Dean waited for an answer from the older hunter who just looked at him like he had gone crazy.

"What the hell are you talking about Dean? I went to dinner for crying out loud. I didn't leave town!"

"Bobby?" Sam asked. "Were you expecting Steve Foster over tonight?"

Bobby stopped and hit his forehead with his palm. "Oh man. I forgot that he called and said he would be here. Is he here?" Bobby looked around the room as if he would suddenly appear.

Dean walked up sarcastically. "Oh he was here alright. Julianna let him in and he brought her a new dress. The two of them were slow dancing awfully close when we got here. I think we got here just in time."

Bobby was shocked and a bit confused. "Wait a second. Julianna let him in?"

"She tested him first Bobby." Sam offered.

"Ok, but he brought her a dress and they were dancing? Are you boys jerking me around?" Bobby was trying to get a handle on the conversation.

"No, it's true. That is what I'm trying to tell you." Dean finally started to relax.

"Where is Jules?"

"I sent her to her room and told her to change." Dean answered, happy with his decision and the fact that Julianna obeyed him.

"And where is Steven?"

"I kicked him out and Sam told him to call you later."

"Why the hell didn't you idjits call me and ask if he was supposed to be here?"

Dean was annoyed again. "Because, that didn't matter Bobby. Even if he was supposed to be here, you weren't here, which means, he doesn't come in. He certainly doesn't bring any gifts to Jules and he doesn't try to make a play for her in your living room!"

Bobby shook his head in an effort to clear it.

"That doesn't really sound like Steven, Dean and it certainly doesn't sound like Jules. You think maybe you two over reacted? Did you really send her to her room? And, she went?" Bobby was bewildered.

"I over reacted?" Dean was looking at the older hunter like he had lost his mind. "So, you are ok with Julianna letting hunters in your house when you aren't here and dancing with them in the living room half-naked!"

"She was not half-naked Dean, you are exaggerating." Sam rolled his eyes at him.

"So, now I'm over reacting and exaggerating. Ok, no problem. Let her do what she wants. We have already seen how that turns out." Dean was in full defensive mode now.

Bobby spoke up. "Ok, you know what; let's take this down a notch. I'm going to go talk to Julianna. You boys, well, just stay down here. Have a beer or something."

Bobby climbed the stairs to see Julianna. The truth was he wasn't happy about her dancing with Steven or anyone and he wasn't really sure why. He needed to get the whole story first.

Dean did as Bobby suggested. He went to the fridge and got a beer. He couldn't believe the lack of reaction he got from Bobby.

"You know what Sam; I'm going to call Cas."

"What for Dean? Let Bobby handle it."

"No. Cas left his sister here with all these rules and regulations and then disappears for weeks at a time. Then, we have to deal with her. I bet you that he will agree with me on this one."

"Is that why you want to call him, to prove yourself right?"

"If I remember correctly little brother, you were pointing to the stairs when I told her to go to her room."

"I was backing you Dean. You were really pissed off." Sam had learned over the years that when Dean was really mad, it is usually better to agree with him until he calmed down a bit.

"I don't know much about little sisters but I know I handled things the way they should have been handled. Why? Because I know Cas and I know he would not have liked that at all. He will thank me. You'll see."

"Last time I talked to Bobby, he said that he had tried to call Castiel but he wasn't answering."

"He always answers for me." Dean said confidently.

"Is that because you are married?" Sam asked trying unsuccessfully to hide his smile.

Dean glared at his little gargantuan brother. "What the hell man!"
