Authors Notes: Here's the last part to The Kids Are Alright! How's Liz gonna do with the fight? Well, you'll have to wait and read!
And if you're wondering, I plan to do all of season 3 for this fic, then I will complete this story and go onto season 4 then when I complete that one go onto season 5 and I will probably end this all at season 5 because I have a slight idea already on how I'm gonna end Swan Song with the girls, but that's gonna be for a while still! As of right now you guys enjoy season 3 with the girls :)
Liz changed herself into a black tank that had Black Sabbath written on it in red. She pulled on her leather jacket over it and then pulled on some denim jeans. She slipped on her black three inch ankle boots, sliding her pants over them, "Liz, are you ready yet?" Gabrielle had gotten finished way before Liz had, all she wore was one of her many band tees, which was Green Day's album cover 'American Idiot', she wore a pair of blue jeans, and her favorite sneakers. Liz rolled her eyes.
"Yes, I'm done."
"Finally, god you take so long to beautify yourself."
Liz laughed, "Oh ha ha."
There was a knock at the door, Liz perked up, Gabrielle walked over and opened the door to reveal Sam and a still somewhat tired Dean, "Ready?" Sam asked.
"I've been ready, it's Liz you have to ask."
"I'm ready!" Liz yelled as she got up from the edge of the bed and walked over. Dean smiled as she walked up to him and he wrapped his arm around her. Sam and Gabrielle stood there confused.
"Morning." Dean said to Liz as he gave her a peck on the cheek.
"Morning." Liz said back with a slight giggle and then walked out the door with him. Sam and Gabrielle raised their eyebrows in confusion at what they just saw.
"Did you just see what I saw?" Sam asked Gabrielle as she nodded slowly.
"Just the other day they were fighting now they're acting like nothing happened?"
"Something must've happened last night."
"No shit. Come on, let's go searching out the neighborhood again." Gabrielle grabbed Sam pulling him outside to the cars.
"Hey, Gabrielle and Sam, we're gonna go around by the park. You can check out the neighborhood this time." Liz told the two who nodded, Liz threw the keys to the Trans Am to Gabrielle and then she got in the Impala with Dean.
"Seriously, what happened with those two last night?" Gabrielle asked.
"Who knows?" Sam shook his head and they sighed and got in the Trans Am.

Liz laughed, "Did you see their faces back there?" She asked Dean, "They were priceless!"
Dean chuckled, "You love fooling with those two don't you?"
"Always have." Liz reached to the radio to turn it up, "Wonder if there's anything interesting to listen to." She turned the knob for the volume and David Lee Roth's voice blasted through the speakers.
"And I know baby just how you feel!"
"Oh my god, I love this song!" Liz turned the knob on the radio to turn the volume up more as Jump by Van Halen played.
"Your music taste obviously has not changed." Which was a lot to Dean's liking. Liz was still the classic rock fan he's always known. That surely hadn't changed, thank god to him.
"No duh, you think I'd give up my love for rock?" Liz laughed, "Might as well jump!" She sang along to the song.
"Jump!" Dean joined in, Liz loved this. She missed when it was just her and Dean, singing along to classic rock songs all the time.
When they reached the park, they had asked a few locals about what has gone on lately with the deaths. They pretended to be a husband and wife who just moved in, Dean and Liz Osbourne. Liz couldn't believe how no one caught the Ozzy reference in the last name. She guessed not everyone were classic rock fans like her and Dean.
After getting some of the stories, the two walked back to the Impala, "Alright, so I still have no clue what this monster is and why it's doing this." Liz said, she noticed Dean didn't reply back, "Dean, he-." She stopped as she saw Dean looking towards some kid on sitting on a bench, "Um, is that Ben?" She asked.
Dean nodded, "Yeah."
Liz sighed, she thought Dean could go say hi, "You can go see him, I won't be mad." Dean looked towards Liz, he was still worried, but she gave him a smile, "Go on." She motioned for him to go over. She watched as Dean walked over to where Ben sat in the bench, she crossed her arms, she had to admit he was quite adorable.
She watched the scene unfold as Dean helped Ben get his game device back, she laughed as Ben kicked the other boy who had his game in the balls. She smiled as Ben ran up and high fived Dean. Then, all of her emotions turned to disgust as Lisa showed up, was it just her or did Lisa need to lay off of the spray tan?
She rolled her eyes as Lisa scowled at Dean, even though Dean had helped Ben get his game back. She had to admit, she would've told Robby to do the same thing if something like that had happened. Hell, when she was in school after the whole Karen incident and she learned how to train well, everyone knew not to mess with her because she almost did send this one chick to the hospital.
She watched as Lisa took Ben away from Dean, but then Ben let go of Lisa and ran up and gave Dean a hug, which caused Liz to smile at that. She noticed, after Dean watched Lisa and Ben leave, the kids he looked over at gave him a strange look. She raised an eyebrow, noticing the look the kids had given Dean.
Dean turned around and walked back up to her, "That was sweet of you helping Ben get back his game."
Dean huffed, "Apparently not in Lisa's eyes."
"Well, Lisa can stick it up her ass. Ben needs to lean how to fight back with bullies anyways, not be a pussy."
Dean smiled, this is why he loved Liz, they thought exactly alike. If he'd been with Sam right now, he wouldn't have agreed, "Thank you. Anyways, there's something weird with the kids in town. Did you see how the one group looked at me?"
Liz nodded, "Yeah, they did give you a weird look."
"Let's get back to the hotel, maybe Elle and Sam found out something." Dean walked around the front of the Impala over to his side. Liz then got in on the passenger side and the two drove back to the hotel to see what Gabrielle and Sam were able to scoop up.

Back at the hotel, Gabrielle and Sam had believed that they had finally figured out the monster terrorizing the town. Gabrielle was the one who brought up the possibility of it being a Changeleng, she had helped a few hunters before with one and she noticed how the monster causing all the deaths in the neighborhood were leaving behind the same things the Changeleng she had hunted before left.
"It has to be one, Sam. I just know it." Gabrielle said as she walked around the room, pinning everything together as Sam searched up Changelengs on the laptop, "The kids. The blood on the wall. It's a Changeleng. It must be."
"Not saying you're wrong Elle, just making sure." Sam said as he researched. The two were brought to the attention of the hotel door opening and Dean and Liz walking in.
"Dude, there's something messed up with the kids in town." Dean commented as he took his jacket off and Liz walked over and sat on the bed.
"See! Sam, it's a Changeleng!" Sam shook his head with a smile at Gabrielle.
Liz raised an eyebrow, "Changeleng?" She'd heard of them before, but never hunted one.
"They're almost like little monster babies." Dean tried explaining, Gabrielle rolled her eyes at Dean's thoughts towards them.
"Not really." Gabrielle spoke, "They snatch up the children, mimic them, then feed on the mom. I noticed how the mother of the one had a weird bruise on the back of her neck. That's when I knew it was a Changeleng and the only way to get rid of it."
"Is to torch it." Dean finished for Gabrielle.
"Yes!"
"Okay, so how do we find it?" Liz asked as Dean sat down next to her on the bed, after grabbing his weapon bag grabbing out his flamethrower, which caused so much excitement in Liz, Dean moved it away from her though, "Oh, come on Dean!" She whined, sounding like a kid who's toy was just taken away.
"I'm still edgy about letting you fight."
Liz rolled her eyes, "Dude, I'm okay."
Gabrielle snickered at Liz, "Oh, Dean she'll be fine." Dean knew Liz could fight, but he was just worried. He didn't want anything bad to happen to her.
"Alright, so the real kids are stashed under the ground somewhere, how do we find them?" Sam asked turned around in his chair.
"Wait, so is every kid in the neighborhood vulnerable?" Dean asked as he quickly thought about Ben. Liz knew who he was thinking about too.
Gabrielle turned her attention back to Dean, "Yeah, why?"
"I gotta go see Ben and Lisa."
Liz almost wanted to barf at hearing Lisa's name, "Liz and I will go see Ben and Lisa, you two go find the kids." Dean stood up, "Come on Lizzie." Liz didn't hesitate, she stood up and followed Dean out.
Gabrielle walked over grabbing her coat, "Well, come on Sam! Get your ass of the seat, we got some kids to find!"
Sam laughed at how Gabrielle was so perky about this. He closed his laptop then got up, grabbing his weapon bag, which held the flamethrowers, he followed Gabrielle out the door.

Liz sat in the Impala as she waited for Dean, she had her arms crossed and tapped her foot as she listened to Paradise City by Guns N' Roses as it played since she had asked Dean to leave the keys in, so the radio could entertain her.
"Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty!"
Liz banged her head and sung along, she was pumped and it wasn't because of the song. She was gonna get into action again. No longer was she a mother who had to work on cars at the garage, oh no she was a hunter again and she loved it.
She looked to the side and noticed Dean running down the sidewalk, she sat up as he got back in the car, "What happened?"
"It got Ben, I checked his windowsill and there was blood."
"I'm on the highway to hell!"
"Is that your phone?" Dean asked, Liz nodded knowing it was Gabrielle calling since that was Gabrielle's set ringtone. Liz pulled her phone out of her pocket and put it on speaker.
"Gabby, you're on!"
"Guys, we found where the kids are. There's a house that's in construction, there's red dirt! Get your asses here now!" Though, Dean had already sped out of the driveway before Gabrielle even said anything. Gabrielle gave him directions to the house, but he already knew which house they were talking about.
When he got there, he pulled up next to the Trans Am. Sam and Gabrielle stood behind it waiting for them, Liz and Dean got out and they ran up to them, "Dude, they got Ben."
"Don't worry, we'll get him." Gabrielle was about to hand Liz a flamethrower, but hesitated.
Liz sighed, "Come on, I can do this." Gabrielle hoped to god that Liz would know what she was doing and she handed Liz a flamethrower and then gave one to Dean.
Dean kept himself right next to Liz as they walked into the house, he had to make sure Liz was protected. He couldn't have something to happen to Liz, how would he be able to take care of Robby? Liz didn't believe she needed Dean so close to her, not that she minded it, but she knew she could do this.
Gabrielle and Sam had taken the front of the house. They weren't as close together of course as Liz and Dean. Sam didn't believe he had to protect Gabrielle, he knew she could do this. Unlike how Dean felt about Liz. Gabrielle knew what she was doing, she'd hunted one of these before.
"Dean, you don't have to be so close. Dammit." Liz whispered, quite annoyed that Dean didn't trust that she could do this alone.
"I'm not letting you out of my site."
"You're really annoying me."
"Oh boo hoo, deal with it."
Liz huffed, she then heard a noise, "Dean, this way." Dean followed as the two used the flashlight to help them around the place. They noticed some chains and then cages. Dean walked up fast as he saw Ben in one of the cages. Liz sighed in relief as they had found the kids.
"Don't worry Ben, we're gonna get you out of here." Dean assured Ben and Liz gave Ben a smile.
"You're gonna be okay." Liz told him.

Gabrielle and Sam walked their ways trying to find anything, "Elle, help me move this board." Gabrielle turned around and walked over to Sam to help him move this white board in that was in the way of a room.
"What do you think you're doing?" Gabrielle and Sam quickly turned around to see the realastate lady standing there. Gabrielle quickly looked at one of the mirror on the floor and noticed it was the mother Changeleng.
"Sam, look!" Gabrielle moved her hand to the mirror, Sam followed to see the face of the mother Changeleng.
Gabrielle quickly reached towards the weapon bag and pulled out the flamethrower, Sam moved out of the way and behind Gabrielle as she pushed the switch and the flames came out. Though, the mother Changeleng had disappeared, "Damn." Sam cursed.

Liz searched for any key that could open up the cages, but found nothing, "Dean, I can't find anything!"
"Then we'll just have to break them open!" Liz was able to find a crowbar and she threw it towards Dean who caught it. He banged against the lock until it finally opened, Dean helped Ben out, "Go over to Lizzie, she'll help you out." Dean ordered Ben, but he refused and stayed with Dean to help the other kids out, including the realastate lady.
Liz ran over to the window to try and move the board out of the way as Dean helped the kids out, but it wouldn't budge, she took her flashlight and busted the window open, so the kids could go through it. Though, she had hurt her hand in the process, it bled once the sharp glass scraped it. She winced in pain, but she put through it.
"Here." Liz turned around as Ben took off his jacket and handed it to her, she smiled at him and then put the jacket on the windowsill so the kids wouldn't get cut from the glass as they tried to crawl out. Dean ran up to her after he got everyone, he noticed her hand bleeding and took a hold of it to look at it.
"You idiot."
Liz rolled her eyes, "I've dealt with worse pain than this Dean, I can get through this." She assured him, giving him a smile.
Suddenly, Sam and Gabrielle showed up, "Dude, there's a mother changeleng." Gabrielle said as she ran up to them.
"You two help everyone out, Dean and I will stay here." Liz ordered Sam and Gabrielle.
"Lizzie-"
"Dean, I can do this! You have to trust me!"
Dean looked into Liz's eyes, then sighed, "Alright."
Dean looked up to see the mother Changeleng walk up, she grabbed Liz throwing her to the ground, Liz screamed as her shoulder dislocated from the impact, "Don't you touch her!" Dean yelled, the mother Changeleng turned to him as he grabbed the flamethrower and tried to get it to go, but she kicked the lighter out of his hand and then kicked him back.
Liz rolled onto the floor as she held her shoulder, she kinda wished at the moment she would've taken back the idea on fighting, now that she dislocated her shoulder and cut her hand. She could say, this was just as painful feelings as giving birth had done to her.
Gabrielle and Sam had already been able to get everyone out, they turned to see the fight going on, "I'll distract her." Sam said to Gabrielle who nodded and Sam ran over, kicking the mother Changeling, making her fall to the ground. Gabrielle had went for the lighter and then threw it to Dean.
Then before they knew it, they had the mother Changeleng burning up into flames, "Hello! Does anyone even acknowledge the fact that I'm hurt over here!" Liz called, Dean ran over to her side and knelled down.
"What did you do?" He asked as he helped her sit up, but she screamed in pain, holding her shoulder.
"I dislocated my shoulder." She winced.
Gabrielle crossed her arms, "And you said you'd be fine."
"Shut up!" Liz snapped, Gabrielle laughed at her older sister.
"Well, you know what I have to do?" Liz nodded, closing her eyes, Dean held her shoulder and then she screamed once he snapped it back into place. She tried not to let any tears come out, she was one to hold back tears with pain. She didn't want to show how weak she was, even to Dean, "Come on, up you go." Dean helped Liz stand up, she held onto her shoulder still, she could feel it pumping in pain.
Dean wrapped his arm around her, letting her lean against him. Sam gave Liz a sympathetic smile, "Hey, you did alright for you first hunt after four years." She smiled back at Sam's comment, but she didn't think she did so well.
"I'm not how I used to be, that's for sure." Liz laughed, "Come on, let's get all the kids home. We can take care of my injuries after they get home safe."

Gabrielle pulled up in the Trans Am behind the Impala in Lisa's driveway. She looked over to her sister in the passenger side, "You doing okay?" She asked.
Liz nodded, "Yeah, I'll be fine."
"I'm not talking about your injuries."
"I knew you weren't. I'm not stupid, Elle."
"Even if that is Dean's kid there, I'm sure he will still pay just as much attention to Robby."
Liz sighed, "I'm not worried."
Gabrielle raised an eyebrow, "Why not?"
"I shouldn't force Dean to pay attention to Robby, if he wants to pay attention to Robby, he will. Sure, I'd like him as a father figure for Robby, but I can't force him."
Liz looked out and watched as Dean entered Lisa's house. Sam turned around and walked over to the Trans Am, Liz rolled down the window, even though she winced at the pain her hand sent from the cuts when she moved it, "How are you doing there, Liz?" Sam asked as he leaned down and put his head through. She knew Sam was talking about the injuries.
Liz gave him a smile, "Nothing like a good patching up will help. Don't worry, Sam. I'm a fighter. It's how I grew up."
Sam chuckled, "Well, you tried your best back there. Don't think that you didn't do anything, you still helped."
"Thanks Sam."
"So, what's the deal now with Dean and Lisa?" Gabrielle asked Sam curiously, wondering if he knew.
"Dean went in to explain everything to Lisa and set things out, see if Ben was really his son. To be honest, I hope for your sake Liz, that he's not."
Liz smiled, "I already told Gabby, I'll deal with it anyways."
"Liz, we all know about how you feel about Dean."
"Sam, I'll be fine. Okay? Dean could have a thousand other kids and I wouldn't mind!" Liz paused, "Okay, actually I would mind about that."
Sam and Gabrielle both laughed, "We just don't want you hurt again." Gabrielle spoke, "We don't want the team to split up."
"Yeah, who knows? Maybe it'll be eighteen years if we split again!" Liz let out a small laugh at Sam's comment.
"Don't worry, this time I'm gonna make sure I don't do what I had done before." Liz assured them both. She had to even tell herself that in her head, that she was going to be fine and she could deal with it. She watched as Dean walked out of the house, he smiled brightly at her and she knew what he meant by that smile, "Sam, move!" She ordered, Sam moved out of the way and let Liz open the door, even though it hurt to stand up from the shoulder.
Dean walked up to her, "So, Ben isn't my son after all."
Liz smiled, "Seriously?"
Dean nodded, "Yup. I'm still all for you and Robby."
"You know, I'd hug you, but my arm is in serious pain at the moment."
"Come on, let's get back to the hotel and I'll patch you up." He wrapped his arm around her.
"Sam, you can join Gab!" Liz called as the two walked up to the Impala. Dean opened the door for her and helped her in, making sure he didn't hurt her shoulder in the process.
Sam shook his head and then took his seat in the Trans Am, "Those two, I swear." Gabrielle commented, she started up the car and then pulled out of the driveway. Dean then pulled out after and followed behind them back to the hotel.

"Ow!" Liz screamed as Dean wrapped the bandage around her arm.
"Can you stop screaming for a moment? Geez."
Liz rolled her eyes, "Oh, sorry I have a shoulder that had been dislocated. Want me to dislocate yours and see how you feel after you snap it back into place?" She hissed at him.
"Damn, don't have to get so touche." Dean laughed, Gabrielle had went to the diner to get some food for the road. Sam was in their hotel because he apparently had something to do, so it was only him and Liz here in the hotel.
Dean moved Liz's arm a bit, causing her to scream once again, "Dammit, Dean!"
"Dude, someone is going to wonder what is going on in here." He really didn't want to have the cops come and think he'd beaten Liz or something.
Liz huffed, "For all they know they probably think we're having rough sex with my screams."
"Oh, cause that's what I defiantly want everyone in the damn hotel to believe." Dean wrapped around one last bandage to make sure it was nice and tight, "There, I'm done." Liz rolled her eyes at the way Dean had said that, it made her feel like she was some five year old with a boo boo, "Want me to kiss it and make it better?"
Liz took her other arm that wasn't injured and punched Dean in the arm, "My one arm may be injured, but the other one isn't." She snickered playfully.
"You know, we could make sex noises and make Elle and Sam think we're in here doing it."
"As much as I love that idea, I have to decline."
Dean pouted his lips, "Oh, come on. It'll be fun."
"No, Elle already knows that we once had the whole friends with benefits thing going on before. I don't want her to joke around about us. You don't know how annoying she'll get about."
Dean sighed, "Fine, have it your way."
She gave Dean a smile, "Though, I don't mind having them guess what's going on between us."
"You're saying, we're gonna keep them guessing on how our relationship is right now?"
"What, you don't like the idea?"
Dean grinned, "No, I love it. Let's sneak."
Liz laughed, "I was hoping you'd say that."

Gabrielle walked down the hallway of the motel, she had some food for the road that she had picked up at the grocery store and for Dean she picked up an apple pie from the diner. She walked up to Sam and Dean's room, she knew that Dean was in her and Liz's room helping Liz with her injuries, "Just tell me who you are!" She raised an eyebrow as she heard Sam's voice come from his room.
She walked up to the door listening in, "Fine." She heard a women say, "Think twice before going for that holy water!" She gasped, was Sam talking to a demon? What was going on?
"Give me a reason why I shouldn't." She heard Sam's voice.
"I'm here to help you, Sam."
"Is this some kind of joke?"
"Gods honest truth or whatever."
"You're a demon." She knew it!
"Don't be such a racists. I'm here because I wanna help you and I can if you trust me."
"No, Sam. Don't." Gabrielle didn't realize she had actually said it out loud, before she knew it the door opened and she was pulled in. She looked to see that who had pulled her in was the blonde haired girl Sam had talked to yesterday at the diner, well it wasn't any girl now, it was a demon.
The girl walked over to the door and shut it, she then turned around, "You're Gabrielle, aren't you?"
Gabrielle glared and just nodded, "What are you doing?"
"If you heard correctly, I'm here to help."
"Why would any demon want to help?"
"I can help save Dean." Gabrielle and Sam both untensed, could she really help Dean?
Authors Notes: And that's the end to The Kids Are Alright! Next, will be Bad Day At Black Rock and instead of Sam grabbing the foot, it's someone else...but, who? Can you guess?
Also, how are Gabrielle and Liz gonna feel about Ruby? Will either trust her? Or be cautious? I hope I did okay for this episode and you guys liked it. Think I can get about four reviews for this chapter before I update? It would mean a lot ^^
