Filled! and very long, oups! Pt. 1cbombNovember 8 2009, 15:52:05 UTC
"So guys, I'm sure your all old pros at all this stuff, right?" asks the pretty, if harried looking, woman. She blows her long dirty blond bangs out of her face and clutches at her clipboard, ticking something off.
"Umm, yeah...?" Sam replies in a tone at odds with his words. He and Dean are dressed in casual formal clothes and appear to be at some kind of TV studio. Everyone is bustling about them, looking very tense, which isn't helping him try to calmly assess the situation. In the distance he can hear the braying laughter of an in-studio audience.
"The whole promotion circuit is tiring, and we always get you people at the end of it." She continues.
"Sorry, um, what do you mean by 'you people'?" Sam asks, seeing a possible way in. Dean is still standing by his side, gawking at his surroundings, like the fat lot of help he is. Clearly they aren't on the set of a cheesy hospital drama.
"Authors of course!" the woman replies, looking slightly perplexed. "I absolutely adore the book. Just incredible, a real insight into middle America!" She then leans towards them conspiratorially and whispers, "You know, I'm originally from a little town in Colorado-"
"Is that so?" Dean asks with the suggestion of a leer. Sam has know idea how he's brother does it, that makes no sense as a pick up line. It's got the woman blushing at them though.
"Well yeah," she says and giggles. "But," she continues, "I mean, these New York types wouldn't know a good cup of coffee and a piece of pie from a diner if it hit'em in the face. It's all soy lattes and cupcakes around here."
"Sure, I know the type." Dean says, in a way that even half-convinces Sam he knows what's going on.
The woman appears to shake herself slightly before she continues.
"Anyway, like I said, this is easy. Just go out with a smile on your face, don't forget to shake Jon's hand before you sit down. The questions will be easy. Don't try and be funnier than Jon, it's his show after all. You'll just come off looking ungrateful." she smiles apologetically as she delivers that last line.
"Oh, um sure." Sam says.
"Sounds as easy as pie to me." Dean says with a wink, and Sam roles his eyes. The woman giggles, and disappears through into the mess of stressed, assistant-looking people around them.

"We wrote a book?" Dean asks, in an accusing tone.
"Apparently." Sam replies, and scans the walls of room their in.
"Why would we do that?" Dean continues. "And why would it be about pie?"
"That's really the only bit of this that makes a bit of sense."
"You might be right."
"Ok, so it's a chat show?" Sam muses, mostly to himself. "And what'd she say the hosts name was... Jon...?" he looks around them. "Oh my God, I know where we are, this is awesome!" he says, just as the blond haired woman reappears and he notices that the speech punctuated laughter has been replaced with music.
"Ok, on you go." she says with a laugh, pointing them down a short corridor.
As they walk away from her Sam whispers quickly to Dean.
"It's the Daily Show!"
"That show with the crazy communist?" Dean replies, and Sam is sure he's just doing it to piss him off, it still works.
"Dean, this show is the most relied upon news source for a growing number of Americans who are disenfranchised by the..." and he fades out, as they walk onto the set, greeted by applause and really freaking bright lights.
They walk towards Jon Stewart, God he really is short, Sam thinks, inanely, as he grasps the mans hand. As if reading his mind the host says laughingly, "You guys are giants!"
Then they're both sitting down and Jon puts a large hardcover book on the desk between them with a thud. Sam blinks in surprise, there's a picture on the cover of the Impala. Dean is driving of course but Sam is right next to him.
"Pie, Rednecks and the Real America: Two Brothers in a Classic Car, Chasing the American Dream." Jon says, and Sam can tell this must be the title. He has a moment of glee, who cares if it's a alternative reality, they wrote a book! That's awesome.
Jon continues, "Fella's I gotta tell you this, I really love this book. I really do, it's a great look at the America that some of us live, others of escaped from and no one in Washington knows quite how to talk to."
Sam is really grinning now. "Thanks, Jon." he says, God he loves the trickster!
"But I just gotta ask, you two guys out there for days on end..." and clearly Jon is approaching some kind of punch line, he looks to the audience. "Am I the only one who feels there's just a little bit of homoerotic tension?" The audience is laughing so much it just sounds like a roar.
"Um..." Sam tries when things die down a bit. "You guys know we're brothers right?"
"Umm, yeah...?" Sam replies in a tone at odds with his words. He and Dean are dressed in casual formal clothes and appear to be at some kind of TV studio.

And Jon Stewart Goddamn winks at them both.
