Then
Standing by the stairs of Crawford Hall, the Winchester's looked at what seemed to be a dirt patch in the middle of grass.
With her hands in her pocket, she stood beside Dean as Sam talked
"I'm telling you, this was made by some kind of jet engine." Sam says
"What, you men's some saucer-shaped jet engine?" Dean says
"Well, what else could it be?" Sam said
"What the hell." Dean says
"I don't know." Sam said
"No, seriously, what the hell?" Dean said again.
"I don't know." Sam says one more time.
" I mean, first the haunting, now this? The timing alone, there's got to be a connection."
"You mean, between the angry spirit and the sexed-up E.T?" Dean says
"Maybe the spirit is the alien? Or the alien is the spirit?" Darcey says thinking out loud.
Both brother look to her like she's grown a second head.
"What? Like it's not not possible? Do you know what our job is?" She says to the both of them, who just go back to they're own conversation.
"What could the connection possibly be?" Dean asked
£***£
Now
"But what could we do? So we just kept on digging." Dean tells Bobby.
£***£
Then
"So you and this guy Curtis, you're in the same house?" Sam asks the guy.
"Yeah." He says
"You heard what happened to him?" Dean asked
"He said it was aliens, but, you know, whatever. "
"Look, man....I know this all had to be so hard." Sam tells him
"Um, not so much." He says
"But I want you to know..I'm here for you. You brave little soldier." Sam said "I acknowledge the pain you must be going though."
Sam then went in and gave the guy a what looked to be an uncomfortable hug.
Darcey shuffles back a bit and placed her hand over her mouth to hid the possible laugh that was to surface. "You're too precious for this world." Sam then says
£***£
Now
"I never said that." Sam says to Dean as Darcey laughed in her spot.
" well, you're always saying pansy stuff like that." Dean said. Darcey let out a mother laugh as dean continues
£****£
Then
"Well, um...yeah, uh, thanks. Thanks for the hug." The guy says as he pats Sam's side to let go. "Yeah." Sam says
"But, uh, I'm okay. Really." He said
Sam then let's go and pats the guys shoulder.
"But, whatever happened to Curtis, he had it coming. " the guy said
"Why?" Darcey asked
"He's our pledge master."
"He put us through hell this semester. Man, he got off on it. So now he knows how we feel."
"Huh." Dean says
Sam looked to the twins, a sad face plastered on.
Dean places his hand on Sam shoulder,
"It's okay." He says.
££******££
Back at the motel, walking threw the door Dean said as he put the keys in his pocket,
"It still doesn't make a lick of sense. But hey, at least there's one connection."
"And between what?" Darcey says going to sit on the bed after she took of her jacket and placed it on the couch.
"The victims. The professor and the frat guy. They're both dicks." He says sitting in the chair.
"That's a connection?" Sam asked
"You got anything better to go on, I'd love to hear it." Dean said
Sam, who was standing at the side of the other bed, looked up from his bag and looked to the twins.
"Where's my laptop?" He asked them
" I don't know." They says in unison
"I mean, think about it. A philandering professed gets a dead girl. A pledge master gets hazed." Dean says as Sam looked on the bed for his missing laptop.
"I left it in here."
"Well, you didn't. Obviously." Dean says
"I mean, these punishments, they're almost poetic."
"Actually, it'd be more like a limerick, but whatever." Darcey says correcting Dean.
"Okay, hilarious, ha, ha. Where'd you guys hide it?" Sam asked having not found his laptop.
"You computer?" Dean asks
"Yeah. Where'd you hide it? You guys used to do this to me when we were kids, were not kids anymore. Where is it?" Sam says
"Why would we take you computer, you know I don't touch your shit." Darcy's says
"Because no one else could've taken it. We keep the doors locked. We never let any maids in." Sam says
"Looks like you lost it, Poindexter" Dean says
"Dude, you wanna know something? I put up with a lot from you." Sam says
"What? I'm a joy to be around, right D?" Dean asked looking to his sister who only shrugged. "Sometimes." She says
"Yeah? Your dirty socks in the sink. Your food in the fridge." Sam begins
"What's wrong with the food?" The twins ask
"It's not food anymore, Dean. It's Darwinism." Sam tells him
"I like it." Dean says quietly while Sam continues
"All I ask from you, the one thing? Is that you don't mess with my stuff." Sam said
"You done?" Dean says
Sam shook his head.
"How would you feel if I screwed with the impala?" He says
Darcey stands up this time.
"Be careful with your words, Sammy." She says
"It be the last thing you ever did."
£********£
Now
"Did you mess with his computer?" Bobby asks
"Serves him right." Dean says
"Well, I did not lose it because I don't lose Things." Sam says defending himself
"Oh, that's right, yeah, because he's Mr. Perfect." Dean says
"Okay, okay. Why don't you just tell me what happened next?" Bobby asked
"There was one more victim." Darcey starts crossing her arms, done with this whole day, and her brother's attitude.
"Right. Now, we didn't see this one ourselves either." Sam said
"We kind of put this one together from the evidence, but this guy, he was..."
"He was a research scientist. Animal testing." Darcey says
"Yeah, you know, a dick. Which fit the pattern." Dean says
"The cops didn't release a cause of death..because they didn't have a clue what the cause was." Dean
Says explaining
"So we checked it out for ourselves." Sam says
£*****£
Then
Waiting for her brothers to climb down the window, so Dean could help her down,
She grasped Deans hands and landed on her feet with a thud.
They found the right compartment the body was in and opened it.
"This oughta be quick." Dean says
They pulled out the body and uncovered it.
Darcey held her mouth, a gag escapes as she turns away from the body, or pieces of it that is.
"Okay. That is just nasty." Dean says
"You think?" Darcey says
"Mutilated. Looks to me mind something was hungry." Sam tells the twins
"Have they identified him yet?" Dean asks
"Yeah, a research scientist at the college. Guess where his office was, by the way?" Sam asked leaning closer to the table.
"Where?" Darcey questions
"Crawford Hall, same as the professor."
"That's where that frat boy had his close encounter." Dean said
"Yeah." Sam says as he looked over the body pieces
"Hey, grab me the thing, should you?" Sam asks, pointing to the circle light.
Dean went and rolled it over to Sam and turned it on.
"Thanks." He says
"What is is?" Dean said when he noticed that Sam looked like he found something.
"Looks like a.....a belly scale?" Sam says
"A belly scale? From what?" Darcey said
"Ah..an alligator?" Sam says
"An alligator in the sewer? Come on." Dean said
"What? Well, Dean, it's a classic urban legend. A kid throws a baby gator down the toilet and it grows huge in the tunnels." Sam says
"But no one's really ever found one." Dean tells Sam
"They're not real." Darcey says
"Well, neither are alien abductions, butt so thing chomped on this guy." Sam says
"This couldn't get any weirder" Dean says
" I think, with our luck so far, there's a possibility that It could." Darcey says
"Maybe we should get some help." Sam suggested. "I'll call Bobby. Maybe he's run into something like this before."
"I'm sure he has. Just your typical haunted-campus, alien-abduction, alligator-in-a-sewer gig." Dean says
£******£
Now
"We decides to search the sewer anyway." Sam says
Darcey scoffed
"You mean, you guys decided to search the sewer, I was forced." She says
The boys roles they're eyes at her and continued.
"So we split up, each taking the other end of the campus." Sam says
"Did you find anything?" Bobby asks
"Yeah? I found something. Just not in the sewer." Dean says.
£******£
Then
After looking around the campus shortly, alone, Darcey leaned against the Impala, waiting for the brothers.
She noticed someone had let the air out of the tires and was preparing for Deans reaction when he saw it, knowing he was going to be just as mad as she was, probably even madder.
When she saw him coming around the corner, she stood up from the car.
"Son of a bitch." She hears Dean says "did you do this?" He asks her as
He walked around to the other side of the car.
When he popped back up, Darcey says
"How dare you even ask. It was like this when I showed up." She says crossing her arms over her chest.
"Then It was Sam." He says holding up their brothers money clip that Dean found on the ground.
"Come on. You know he would never." Darcey says
"Just like I wouldn't, you ass."
"Yeah, right." He says.
£**£
Back at the motel, the twins walk into the room angrily as Sam sits in one of the chairs, reading.
"You think this is funny?" Dean says as he closes the door.
The slam makes Darcey jump a bit. She goes over to one of the beds and sits, crossing her arms once more.
"It depends. What?" Sam says
"Heh, heh. The car." Dean says to his brother
"What about the car?" Sam asks
"Someone let the air out of the tires." Darcey says
"No. Not someone, Sam." Dean said pointing to him
"You can't let the air out of the tires, you idiot. You're going to bend the rims." Dean says
"Whoa, I didn't go near your car." Sam said
"Oh, yeah. Huh? Then how come I found this?" Dean asks pulling out Sam's money clip. The youngest brother then stood up.
"Hey, give me my money back." He says holding out his long arm.
" oh, no. No. Consider it reparations for, uh, for emotional trauma." Dean says
"Yeah, very funny. Now give it back." Sam said
"No."
Sam went over to Dean to try and grab it from him.
"Dean, I've had it up to here with you." Sam says
"I've had it up to here with the both of you." Darcey says from the bed.
"Yeah, right back at you." Dean says
Sam goes to grab the money again from Dean but fails
Sam let out a scoff before he tried again, only to have Sam and him start fighting.
Darcey let out a shriek of surprise when they fell on the bed that she was, landing on top of her with a thud.
"Get off of me." The twins ended up saying together.
"Give it back." Sam says
Darcey tried her best to get her legs free brut two 6' feet boys have prevented her from doing so.
"Idiots." Darcey says and gives them a shove to get them off, it did nothing.
£*****£
Now
"Okay, I've heard enough." Bobby says"
"Anyway. You showed up about an hour after that." Dean says
"I'm surprised at you three. I really am. Sam, first off, Dean did not steal your computer. " bobby says
"But I— there's—" Sam starts
"Shh. Shh." Bobby tells the boy.
"And, Dean, Sam nor Darcey touched your car."
"Yeah." Sam and Darcey say
"And if you three bothered to pull your heads out of your asses..it all would've been clear. "
"What?" The twins ask
"What your dealing with." Bobby says
The siblings shake their heads, nothing coming to mind.
"You got a trickster in your hands." Bobby says to them.
Dean snapped his fingers. "That's what i
Thought." He says
"What?" Darcey says
"No you didn't." Sam said
"Well, I gotta tell you...you guys were the biggest clue. " Bobby said
"What do you mean?" Sam asks
"These things create chaos and mischief as easy as breathing. And it's got you three so turned around..and at each other's throats, you can't even think straight." Bobby says
"The laptop. " Sam says "the tires." The twins say
"It knows you're onto him. And it's been playing you like a couple of fiddles."
"So what is it?" Dean asks "spirit, demon, what?"
"More like demigods, really." Bobby says
"There's Loki in Scandinavia. There's Anansi in West Africa. Dozens of them. They're immortal and they can create thing out of thin air. Things as real as you and me. Make them vanish just as quick." Bobby explains.
"You mean, like an angle spirit or an alien, or alligator?" Dean says
Bobby nods. "The victims fit the m.o. too. Tricksters target the high and mighty. Knock them down a peg or two, usually with a sense of humour. Deadly pranks, things like that."
"Bobby, what do these things look like?" Dean asks
"Lots of thing, but human mostly." Bobby says
Dean then turned to his brother and sister
"And what human do we know who's been at the ground zero this whole time?" He asked them
£*****£
At the school, the Winchester's stand with the school janitor.
"Sorry I'm dragging a little ass today, boys and girl. I had quite the night last night." He says to them
Going over to the stairs, before they head up he turns around and says,
"Lots of sec, if you catch my drift."
Darcey crosses her arms and stood a bit back, closer to Dean, as they made they're way up, uncomfortable with what the janitor had said.
"Yeah, Listen, we won't be long. We just need to check up on a couple of offices up on three." Dean says
"No problem." He says
Half way up, Sam says, "oh, damn. I forgot something in the truck. You know what? I'll catch up with you guys." Sam says following the plan.
"Okay." Dean says as the continued they're way up.
£*****£
Walking almost as quickly as the brothers are down the stairs, Darcey trips as they hit the last step. The brothers look to her as she stands up.
She wipes her hands on her jeans. "I'm fine." She says as they make they're way down the last set of stairs.
"Just because he reads Weekly Worlds News.. doesn't mean he's out guy. You read it too." Sam says
"I'm telling you? It's him." Dean says as he catches Darcey by the arm before she could fall once more.
"I just think was need some hard proof. That's all." Sam says
"Okay, Bobby mentioned that these suckers have a metabolism like a insect. All right, a real sweet tooth." Dean says
"I didn't find any candy bars it sugar. Not even Equal." Sam says
"That's because you probably missed something." Dean says
"I don't miss things." Sam said
"Oh, right because you're Mr. Perfect." Dean says
"Guys,—" Darcey tried
"What? Are you still pissed at me because of what the trickster did?" Sam says
"Oh, come on, man. You've been a tight ass long before this trickster showed up." Dean said
"Come on-" Darcey says
"Look, just stay here. Keep and eye out on the janitor. I'll go to his place, see if I can find any evidence..before you go barging in and staking the man." Sam says
Dean rolled his eyes
"Just wait till I get back, okay?" Sam says
"Okay?"
Dean looks to Darcey and then back at Sam
"Okay." He says
£*****£
When night came, the Winchester twins stood by the stairs, Dean was getting impatient.
Darcey almost didn't get a chance to catch up to to brother when she saw him half way up the stairs.
"Dean!" She whisper yelled.
He looked back to her, only to continue going up.
"Ugh." She says, annoyed, and follows him.
They walk into the building.
"Why do you never listen?" She says, Dean didn't answer as he pulled out his flashlight.
They went up and down the steps, checking out for anything.
When they are about to walk up the third set of steps when music stops Them.
"Is that Barry White's, "can't get enough of your love?" Darcey asks hearing it in the distance.
Dean looks to his sister, slightly impressed that she knew the song by artist and title.
Dean put the stake back into his pocket as they made they're way closer to where the music was coming from.
Walking into a auditorium, where the music was the loudest, on the stage, a round bed with red sheets sits in the middle of the stage.
A big red arch thing above it. A disco ball hung and twirls from the ceiling.
Two girls sat on the bed.
Dean and Darcey slowly walked down the steps and up to the stage.
"We've been waiting for you, Dean." One of The girls says as they crawl forward. "You guys aren't real." Dean stammers out
"Trust me, sugar, it's going to feel real." One says
Dean let lout a laugh,
Darcey gave him a small smack on the arm as she stands there awkwardly and uncomfortable.
"Coming on. Let's give You a massage."
"Wha—? You know, I'm a sucker for happy endings. Really, I am... but I'm gonna have to pass." Dean says regrettably.
"They're a peace offering."
Turning around, Darcey and Dean turn around and see the janitor sitting.
"I know what you guys do. I've been around a while, run into your kind before." He says
"Well, the. You know that we can't let you keep hurting people." Dean says
The janitor tilts his head back, then up again. "Come on." He said
"Those people got what was coming to them. Hoisted on their own petards. But you three, I like you. I do. So treat yourself, for as long as you want.
Just long enough for me to move on into the next town."
"Yeah, I don't think I can let you do that buddy." Dean said
"I don't wanna hurt you guys." The janitor says opening a candy bar.
"And you know I can."
"Look, man, I gotta tell you, I dig your style. All right? I mean—" Dean says looking back to the girls.
"I really do. I mean, phew. And the slow-dancing alien?" Dean said as they both let out a laugh.
Darcey rolled her eyes, wanting to get this over with.
"One of my personal favourites." The janitor says
"Yeah. But I can't let you go." Dean tells him
"Too bad. Like I said, I liked you. Sam was right. You two shouldn't have come alone." He says
"Well, I'll agree with you there." Dean said
Then, on each side of a doors, Bobby and Sam both stepped out, holding their own stakes.
Darcey was prepared to use her power.
She never does, only when they need it most.
"That fight you guys had outside,
That was a trick?"
Dean shrugged his shoulder up and down.
"Hmm. Not bad." The janitor says
Dean and Darcey then pulled out their own stakes as well.
"But you want to see a real trick?"
Suddenly, the sound of a chainsaw is Heard and from where Sam is standing.
Then, Dean walked up to the janitor to stab him but one of the girls grabbed his arms, stopping him.
From where she's standing, Darcey flicked her wrist and let a ball of fire go at the girl, who let go of Dean when she felt the flame.
When Darcey was about the throw another one, she was suddenly grabbed by one of the girls and tossed into the chairs. She hit her head and that made standing up a bit fuzzy.
When Darcey came to fully, the brothers and Bobby stood over a dead trickster.
Noticing the Winchester girl struggling to stand, Bobby went over to help her.
"You guys okay?" He asks
"Yeah." Sam says "I guess."
"Well, I gotta say...he had style."
£****£
Holding Deans arm as they made it out of the building, Sam says to Bobby
"Hey, thanks a lot. We couldn't have—"
"Hey, save it. Let's just get the bell out of Dodge before someone finds the body." He says
"Yeah." Sam said
Sam stopped Dean
"Hey, Dean..um...I..." Sam struggles to say
"Hey, uh..me too." Dean said
"You two are losers." She says rolling her eyes at her brothers who can't even say the actual word.
"You two are breaking my heart, now can we please leave?" Bobby says urgently.
Dean quickly helped Darcey into the car where Grayson was waiting as he slept, waking up, He slid over to his mothers side and gave her the biggest hug. "Did you get the bad guy?" He asked
"We always do, Gray." She tells him, hugging him back as Dean drove off.

Hello! Wow....this episode took a while... but it's done!
The trickster aka Gabriel is one of my favourite characters.
Here's a fun fact about this episode!
"Although the true nature of the Trickster wouldn't be revealed until season five, ( Changing Chanel's episode) this episode marks the first appearance of an angle character on the show! The second would not be until Cas.."
(I get the facts and goofs as I watch the show on Amazon prime video!)
