While Castiel dug through the box of decorations, eagerly discovering what interesting things might be in there, Sam and Dean were opening the box labeled 'tree'. They pulled all the pieces of the tree out of its box and started to fit them together.
"You know Sammy, this is going to be the best looking tree I think we've had in years." Dean said with pride.
Sam looked at the half put together tree and agreed. When it was completely put together all they needed would be a little adjustment of the branches to fluff up the tree and make it look a little more full. And with a few decorations, their tree would be great.
"Hey, Cas. Are you finding any tree trimmings in there?" Sam looked over at the eager angel. "Like strings of lights, ribbon or even tinsel, maybe?"
"I do not see any of these things you are describing, Sam. There is a big yellow star, a few little glass balls with hooks attached and a porcelain piece that says 'Our First Christmas'." Castiel responded.
"Hmm alright, we can work with that." Sam thought for a moment. "OK Cas. The star goes on top of the tree, once we get it all put together. And you can spread those glass balls around however you like." Sam stood up and started out of the living room. "Where did Bobby disappear to, do you know? I need to ask him if he has any popcorn. And construction paper. "
"Don't know dude. Last I saw him I think he said something about being out in the garage. Not like there's a lot of places he can get to in that chair of his. Ya'know?" Dean was referring to Bobby's wheel chair. Hopefully, there'd be a day when remembering how Bobby wound up paralyzed from the waist down didn't give Dean a pang of regret. He wished there was something he could have done differently at the time so Bobby had never gotten hurt in the first place.
"Right, thanks for reminding us." Sam turned to head out of the living room. When Bobby came home in the wheel chair Sam and Dean built a ramp out of the back door. It was the only way in and out of the house that Bobby could use these days, and so that's where Sam headed.
He opened the door to the garage and let it swing shut behind him. The creak of the door spring and the resulting slam when the door shut behind Sam startled Bobby out of his musings. There was a big box full of something Sam couldn't identify on Bobby's lap. "Hey, Bobby. Just wondering if you've got some stuff we're going to need."
"Yeah, like what?"
"Well some thread and a needle would be handy. And popcorn. Do you have some popcorn?"
"Got a hankering for some popped corn, do ya?"
"No, just an idea I had. You'll see." Sam didn't want to tell Bobby exactly what he had planned. He wanted it to be a surprise. "So do you?"
"Yeah, there's a big bag of corn in the cupboard, use as much as you want." Bobby was curious now. "What'cha going to do with all that popcorn, huh?"
"Just come on inside, you'll see. Besides it's freezing out here. You don't even have a coat on."
"You ain't my mother. But yeah, the temp's dropped quite a bit since I first came out here."
"Thanks Bobby, see you in a few!" Sam ran back out the door to go find that corn for popping.
