EXT. SUN 'N SANDS MOTEL

"Supernatural is filmed before a live studio audience," Dean voiced.

INT. BRIGHT MOTEL ROOM

Dean put some things in a refrigerator, closed the fridge, and turned. There was applause. There was a sandwich on the table, about a foot tall.

"I'm gonna need a bigger mouth," Dean commented.

A laugh track sounded.

Sam entered the room and applause sounded.

"Hey there, Sam," Dean greeted. "What's happening?"

"Oh, nothing," Sam replied. "Um. Just the end of the world." The laugh track sounded again. "You're gonna need a bigger mouth." Laugh track. "Hey, uh, have you done your research yet?"

A 'busted' expression crossed Dean's face, causing the laugh track.

"Oh, yeah," Dean said. "All kinds of research. All night."

"Yeah?" Sam questioned. "Hm."

The bathroom door opened. Lexi in a bikini came out and the crowd wolf-whistled.

"Oh, Dean..." Lexi called, causing Sam to look at her and Dean to turn, realizing he'd been caught. "We have some more research to do." She grimaced, not liking her current attire.

Sam folded his arms as he said, "Dean, Lexi..."

A laugh track sounded.

"Son of a bitch!" Dean cried.

The laugh track sounded again.

Lexi frowned and went to get dressed. "Never again."

Miriam ran up. "Mommy, Daddy, Brynn's crying. Margie can't stop it."

"I got her," Dean said.

INT. HOUSE

Dean, Sam, Margaret, Miriam and Lexi, holding Brynnlee, looked around an empty house.

"Town to town, two lane roads, family biz, hunting bros, kids and spouse."

Dean, Sam and Lexi backed into each other, startled, turned around, and burst out laughing. Miriam and Margaret twirled around with a giggle.

"Living a lie just to get by."

Sam opened a cabinet. A white-sheeted 'ghost' waggled at him. He shut the cabinet and stood against the door.

"As long as we're movin' forward."

Dean was working on the Impala. He wiped his forehead, smearing grease there. Sam pointed and laughed while Lexi smiled and laughed. Dean looked at his hands and laughed. Margaret laughed as she grabbed a tissue from her mother's pocket and handed it to Dean.

"There's nothing we can't do, together we'll face the day."

EXT. PARK

Dean and Sam rode a tandem bicycle.

"You all and I won't run away."

Dean, Sam and Lexi raced on absurdly small motorcycles, though it didn't look as small for Lexi. Two small cars with Margaret, Miriam and Brynnlee followed behind.

Sam threw a football to Dean, who caught it and bounced it off the ground. Dean threw it to Lexi and she managed to catch it. Miriam and Margaret, sitting on the grass with their sister, watched with a smile.

"When the demons come out to play."

Dean and Sam both flopped backwards onto the ground. Lexi walked towards her daughters.
