It was Wednesday afternoon and John and Renee were at John's house, having another one of their tutoring sessions. Renee felt bad because they kept getting off task, but she honestly didn't mind since their unproductiveness always led to kisses and well, she couldn't exactly complain about that. John finished a problem, his eyes lighting up as he checked the back of the book for the answer.

"Hey, I got it right!" he smiled, looking over at Renee.

"That's great," Renee smiled back. John looked at her once more before returning to his homework. Renee continued to look at John and she giggled.

"What?" John asked.

"Nothing," Renee said back.

"No, you giggled. That definitely wasn't nothing," John replied, dropping his pencil and looking back at her.

"I-," Renee started, rolling her eyes, although she couldn't help but smile. "It's just I love that look you get on your face when you get a problem right. Huh. I never could really say that before but now I can. It's kind of nice."

"Yeah, you can, now that you're my girlfriend," John smiled.

"Am I?" Renee asked back.

"Wait, is this some kind of reverse psychology thing?" John asked, withdrawing a little.

Renee laughed, "No, I'm asking it seriously. I mean, we haven't really defined what we are yet. I don't know if we're still in the trial period or what."

"The trial period?" John asked, raising an eyebrow. God, his charm was so irresistible. That was one of the things that Renee hated and loved about him.

"Yeah, you know the period where we're just kind of dating and still trying to figure out whether we'd be good for each other or not," Renee explained .

"Well, am I passing?" John asked.

Renee chuckled, "Yes."

"Good, because I don't know what I'd do if I wasn't," John replied. John leaned in, leaving a soft, sweet kiss on her lips.

"And with that kiss, you're passing with flying colors," Renee smiled, leaning in for another kiss.

"So how about we just end the trial period now and you agree to be my girl?" John asked.

Renee laughed, "What is this? The 1950s?"

"No, it would be the 1950s if I asked you to go steady with me," John replied.

"Yes, it would. So you really want to be official?" Renee asked, trying to hide her surprise in the question. She could still barely believe that John wanted to be official. He was usually the no strings attached kind of guy, but here he was, asking her to be official. She still couldn't get over it. Then again, she worried a little since this would be John's first real, official relationship. Would it just be this big trial and error thing? She brushed the thoughts from her head. She was thinking too much. She liked this guy a lot and she just had to trust him!

"Yeah," John shrugged.

"Alright," Renee answered.

"Really?" John asked.

"Yeah. I'll be your… girl, or whatever," Renee said, rolling her eyes playfully.

"Awesome," John said, finally closing the gap between them and kissing her again.

Jude sat in his apartment at college, playing his old guitar that he rarely used anymore. It had become more of a decoration but it was only because he didn't have much time to use it. He had just gotten out of class and went back to his dorm to decompress before dinner. He had been messing around with the guitar for a while when he cell phone began to vibrate. He stopped playing and picked up his phone, his eyes widening when saw who it was. He had never expected that.

"Hi," Jude said, sitting up.

"Hey, it's Anna," the voice on the other line said.

"Oh, yeah, I know. I mean… caller ID," Jude chuckled.

"Right," the girl laughed. "Anyways, I know it's been a while and I know that you left on some… weird terms but I was wondering if you had time to talk."

"Uh, yeah. Right now?" Jude asked back.

"Yeah… listen, Jude, there's something I should tell you. I'm um… I'm here," Anna started.

"Wait, what do you mean by here?" Jude asked.

"I mean, I'm here in Pennsylvania… at Drexel. I know I probably should've told you before but I just got to campus and, well, that's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about," Anna replied.

"Anna… but how?" Jude asked, still in shock from the bombshell she dropped on him.

"Do you think we could do this in person?" she asked, hopeful.

"Yeah," Jude sighed.

"Thanks. I'm at a café right on campus. Java Jive?" Anna started.

"Okay, stay where you are. I'll be over there in a couple of minutes," Jude replied, before hanging up. He couldn't believe what had just happened. Part of him thought that maybe it was a trick and that he was imagining things, but he knew it wasn't. Jude got up, brought his key, wallet, and phone with him, before locking up the apartment and heading out. His apartment was on campus and it was only a short walk to the café that Anna was at.

He couldn't believe that he was here. Part of him was excited but the rest of him felt like it would only bring trouble, especially after the way they had left things. She knew way too much and their personal history could also get messy. Then again, that was the least of his worries at the moment. He pushed the door open to the café when he arrived, instantly spotting those dark curls. His stomach in knots, Jude headed over towards the table.

"Hi," he said, smiling weakly as he sat down.

"Hey. I got you some coffee… I hope your order hasn't changed since… a month ago," Anna said, nervously. It was so good to see him again. There was so much she wanted to say to him; so much she didn't get to say before he left.

She remembered the day all too clearly. She had finally collected herself and gotten her thoughts together. She'd finally recovered from that night in Peru to finally say something but when she went to find him, she learned he was gone. She felt horrible. All Jude was trying to do was help and she freaked out on him.

"Oh, thanks," Jude said, politely. She sat in a chair across from Anna at the small coffee table in the café.

"Thank you so much for meeting me like this. I figured it'd be better if we did this in person," Anna replied.

Jude nodded slowly, "I still can't believe you're here."

"Yeah, me either," Anna said, swallowing hard.

"Do you want to just… start from the beginning?" he asked.

"Sure," she started. "Well, you knew I was looking to transfer and I guess I forgot to tell you that I was thinking about Drexel. After you left… I ended up extending my stay for a couple more weeks but then I found out I got in so I called the university and they said it would be okay if I came to school a couple of weeks late, especially since I was earning credits for my degree. You left so quickly that I didn't get a chance to tell you. I wanted to Jude. Honestly, I did."

"Anna, I didn't leave early. I left when I was supposed to," Jude reminded, feeling unsettled.

"Yeah, well you didn't even say goodbye," Anna snapped.

Jude sighed, "Yeah, well, we weren't on great terms, now were we?"

"Jude, I'm sorry. I know I freaked out on you but after that… that thing-, spirit, whatever you want to clal it, attacked us-," Anna started.

"I was just doing my job, okay?" Jude snapped.

"Yeah, but after what you told me… I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that all of that is real, Jude. I mean, you dropped a bombshell on me that night!" Anna exclaimed, lowering her voice shortly after. She knew they were in public and that she didn't want to attract any attention to them.

"So you think I'm lying to you?" Jude asked defensively, raising an eyebrow. "Is that it?" He hated being so snappy with her, but it was his first instinct. Although he could understand where she was coming from, he was still mad at her. After that night, she wouldn't talk to him and kept saying she needed time to think.

"No! No, of course not. I saw it too, Jude. I saw everything... Look, I've had a lot of time to think and there's a lot that I've been meaning to tell you. I didn't know how to do it. I thought about writing you a letter or just calling but I felt like it would be better in person…" Anna trailed off.

"Look, I know you're having problems with the idea of it-," Jude started.

"That's not it! Would you just listen to me?" Anna asked, annoyed.

"Fine," Jude sighed.

"I just wanted to tell you that your secret's safe with me. I'm not-, I'm not going to tell anyone. I think what you and your family do is important. If there's stuff out there like that and you guys know about it, and you know how to stop it, I think it's a good thing. I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for freaking out at you and I get it now," Anna explained.

"You do?" Jude asked, almost as surprised as he was when she told him that she was there on the Drexel campus.

He had never told anyone their family secret until he and Anna were out in the field rescuing someone. Bodies were dropping like flies and he began to realize that it may be something supernatural. He was going to go out alone, but Anna followed him and he had to gank the spirit right in front of her – of course, it put up a fight, which had been ten times worse that she was there. Afterwards, he told her what he was and what his family did and she freaked out on him. A couple of days later, his time at the clinic was up and he went back home.

"Yeah, I do. It still freaks me out and everything, but I do get it," Anna replied.

"Oh," Jude said.

"I also wanted to talk to sort out all the other stuff. I know we'll be in classes together and probably seeing a lot of each other so I just wanted to make sure that besides the… hunting stuff, that we were okay. I promise I didn't follow you here. I'm not going to bother you, okay? I'm not going to let our personal history get in the way of things. I know how serious you are about your studies and so am I. I just hope we can be friends and both operate on a professional level here, together," Anna said back.

Jude nodded before saying, "Yeah of course," like it was a given.

"What happened in Peru will stay in Peru. I promise. I'm sure you never dreamed about your summer fling showing up at your school for her senior year, now did you?" Anna chuckled.

"I will admit it's a little wild," Jude said.

She smiled, "It's good to talk to you again. I didn't want to leave it the way it was between us when you went back home."

"I know… I'm sorry. I just didn't know what to say to you and you weren't talking to me," Jude admitted.

"I didn't know what to say to you either!" Anna added.

"Yeah. I guess I just felt like you deserved to know the truth after what you had seen that night. I know it was a lot to take in…" Jude said.

Anna nodded, "No, thank you for that. You would've left me with a lot of questions if you hadn't been honest with me."

"I figured leaving you with questions wouldn't exactly be the best idea either," Jude chuckled.

"Hey, this coffee sucks," Anna noticed, changing the subject as she began to drink her coffee.

"Yeah, it does," Jude chuckled. "The stuff in Peru was way better!"

"Agreed. Oh, by the way, Dr. Montgomery wanted me to say 'hi'. She always liked how quick you could think on your feet out there," Anna started, remembering the other things she had made a mental note to tell Jude when she finally talked to him again. This didn't seem so bad. She had spent so much time missing him once he left, but here she was and here and so was he, so now she could stop missing him. She was curious about how this was going to go though. Were they going to be able to be friends or would things get too complicated?

"Oh, uh, thanks. Do you ever miss it sometimes?" Jude asked.

"Yeah, ever since I got back I've been missing it like crazy!" Anna replied, smiling. Jude smiled back. When he first found out that Anna was here, he thought it would be hell, but maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea after all. He sat there and continued to talk to her and began to realize how much he had missed her. After he got back he was still mad and even a little disappointed that he had forgotten all about missing her.

Later that night, around sunset, when all of their homework was finished, the twins climbed up on the roof of their house. They had done it a couple of times before and there was a cool breeze that night, so they figured it would be a good idea. Victoria spotted John and Renee saying goodbye.

"See? I told you she'd be perfect for him," Victoria started.

"You know, I can't disagree with you there. John's been pretty freaking happy these past few days. Let's just hope it lasts," Flynn replied.

Victoria nodded, "So speaking of girlfriends. How's yours?"

"Good. We're going to the art museum to see one of their documentaries this weekend," Flynn said.

"Oh, the one about world war one? Tyler and I were talking about seeing that one too," Victoria said back.

"You and Tyler," Flynn chuckled.

"What?" Victoria asked, shooting a look over at her brother.

"Nothing, it's just you two have been getting very close recently," Flynn hinted.

"We're friends!" Victoria protested.

"Yeah, but you want to be more," Flynn said. Judging by the look on his sister's face, he knew that she did want to be more. "And just from a guy's prospective, but I think he wants to be more too, Vi. Then again, what do I know? I'm just a guy!"

"You have to say that. You're my brother," Victoria pointed out.

"Actually, I don't. Whenever I'm over there anyways, he always asks if I brought you with me. Hah, like I'm going to bring my sister on my date. That would be-," Flynn started.

"Almost as weird as when Mom and Dad have their moments in front of us. Can we just talk about the one in the hunting center last Saturday?" Victoria asked.

"Let's not. That's just weird," Flynn said.

"Yeah, you're right. It is weird," Victoria chuckled.

"You know… if you do like Tyler, I think you should go for it," Flynn said.

"You do?" Victoria asked.

"Yeah, I do. Taking a chance worked for me and it looks like it worked for John too. Besides, we're Winchesters! We have to take chances," Flynn added.

Victoria chuckled, "You're right, we are Winchesters."

Victoria and Flynn sat outside on the roof for a while, just talking about random nonsense.

"Oh my God, I love it when Mom and Ethan put on their old music during Thanksgiving and embarrassingly dance to it. It's always so funny!" Flynn laughed.

"Do you believe in life after love!" Victoria sang, doing her best Cher impression.

"No, no, no! Cher sounds more like this," Flynn said, clearing his throat, before beginning to sing the chorus to "Believe." Victoria laughed at her brother's way too accurate Cher impression.

"Okay, you do that way too well. Are you sure you're not gay?" Victoria teased.

"Shut up. Yes, I'm positive," Flynn replied.

Just then, there was a tapping on Victoria's half open window as John poked his head out of the window to see the twins sitting on the roof.

"Hey, Mom says dinner's ready," John said.

"Okay," Victoria answered. John left the room, heading downstairs while Victoria and Flynn climbed back through the window. Victoria shut the window, locking it. "Can't be too careful, right?"

"Yeah. If Mom and Dad taught us anything…" Flynn replied.

"Come on," Victoria encouraged, heading downstairs, Flynn close behind her.

"Thanks for setting the table, John," Meredith said, surprised. She hadn't even had to ask her son to set the table. He ended up just doing it.

"Hi, beautiful," Dean said to Meredith, his hands on her hips as he slipped by her.

"Hi, handsome," she smiled back. Dean leaned in once, kissing her quickly before they finished getting dinner ready.

John went to get a glass of water, filling it up with tap water and walking back to the table. The twins had sat down already along with Meredith. Dean was getting a drink for him and his wife while John was about to sit down. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw something move outside and he stopped. He could only see a figure of someone. John dropped his class as he could feel its black eyes on him. The thing, realizing that John had seen it, instantly disappeared.

"John, are you okay?" Meredith asked.

"Oh shoot!" John exclaimed, as the water spilled everywhere.

"It's alright. I'll go get some paper towels," Meredith started, getting up.

Victoria was about to make a comment when she saw the panicked look on John's face. He looked like he had just seen a ghost or something, "John, what happened? Are you okay?"

Meredith came back with paper towels in her hands, bending down to help clean up the water, "Did you see something?"

"No. I don't know. I could've just been imagining things," John stammered. Dean and Meredith exchanged glances. They knew that in their world, there was little chance at it being an imagination and much more likely that something had been watching them.

Author's Note: I know I keep giving you guys new characters but I thought it would be a good idea to introduce them in increments instead of throwing them all at you at once! Exciting things are about to happen very soon :)
