After we got settled in and had ordered our burgers, I could tell the boys were anxious for answers. I had watched Dean slide in the booth first, so I indicated to Maggie to do the same, so we were both across from our own guy. Dean said, "Okay, you seem to know who were are, so who are you?"
Maggie isn't much for talking in new situations so she looked at me, and I said, "My name is Katie. This is my sister Maggie. We are from Florida, except probably not the one you know."
Another puzzled look passed between them and Sam asked, "And how exactly do you mean that?"
I took a deep breath and said, "Okay, here we go. Remember that time you guys crashed through a window and found yourselves in an alternate reality where you were actors with different names playing the parts of Sam and Dean on a TV show?"
Again, they looked at each other and then back at us as Dean seemed all hot and bothered again and sad, "How do you know that? Are they publishing Supernatural books again?"
I chuckled and said, "No, I don't think so. But If I'm right, that other reality where you guys are a TV show and not really hunters, I think that's where we came from."
"How?" they both asked together.
"I have no clue!" I answered, and started eating my burger.
We ate the rest of our meal in silence and then Dean asked Sam what he thought they should do with us. Sam said well we need to find a way to get them back to their own place. Dean looked at Maggie, then at me, and then at Sam and said, "We don't have time for this, Sam. We're running out of time as it is. Things are heating up, you know that. We may have to fight at any time and we can't be worried about a couple of untrained girls. Let's stash them in a safe place, and be on our way."
We all looked at Dean. I said, "What year is this?"
Sam answered, "2014."
"What Month?"
"May"
"Okay," I said, trying to think. "If we are really parallel, then you are worried about a war coming between angels and demons, you are even more worried about what's up with Abbadon, and you, Dean, are dealing with the Mark of Cain, which you, Sam, are extremely worried about. Does that about sum it up?"
They both stared at me until it became a bit uncomfortable. Finally Dean said, "That's just Creepy!"
"Well," I said, "Listen to me a minute. I realize all that horrible stuff you have on your plate, I do. I get it. But we are scared too, and our parents must be beyond themselves with worry about how we just vanished out of a moving car. Yes we are just two young women and as usual you have the world to save, I get it. But as much as we love you guys, we need to find a way home! And whoever, or whatever caused this to happen had a reason, and don't you think just maybe it might be a mistake to just get rid of us?"
Sam looked at Dean and said, "She has a point Dean. When odd things happen to us there usually is a reason. Maybe we need them somehow."
Dean looked angry. "When odd things happen to us it's usually bad," he said, frowning, "and I can't think how two women from a reality where we aren't even real can possibly help us. They could end up getting us all killed! I don't like this! I don't want the responsibility or the extra danger! They brought themselves here, they can join hands and wish themselves back."
"Wow, I said jokingly. "Our TV show doesn't do justice to the true levels of asshole you can actually reach!"
"Katie!" exclaimed Maggie.
"Yeah, sorry. Dean look," I said sadly. "What's happened to you? Even while you were going around saving the world, you used to care about people. You've gotten colder and colder. Maybe it's that mark of yours, maybe not. "I felt myself getting a bit angry and my tone got just a bit harsher. "But something wanted us to be involved with you so much that they or it dropped us right into your goddamn car. And I'm telling you we are good people, not evil ones. So something tells me we are here for a reason. If you can't bring yourself to care about us, at least look at it logically. You need to find out who put us here, and why!"
Dean sighed and laid his head back against the corner between the seat and the window. He pinched his nose like he does when he gets frustrated. I remember thinking how amazing it was that the real Sam and Dean were so very similar to the TV ones. Finally he blew out a breath and said, "Fine, okay. We have a 400 mile trip ahead of us. We can talk this out and try to find answers on the way. We can take it step by step and make decisions as we go along."
"Good idea. I knew you could do it. Maggie and I have to visit the little girl's room and we'll meet you back at the car."
In the rest room Maggie and I took the opportunity to let out the excitement we were feeling. "Oh my God," Maggie screeched, so excited I could barely make out her words. "We are with Sam and Dean, actually with them!!"
I was excited as well, but I knew we were both also scared, and especially worried for our parents. But we had gotten what we wished for, and now we had to deal with it.
