The Park, Wednesday Afternoon

[6buckstohisname]

After spending yesterday engaged in some truly pitiful staring at the slip of paper with Sam's phone number, followed by some even more pitiful staring at his phone, followed by some Lifetime level lurking on a college campus, Dean was back at start. Not a single freakin' clue what to do next came to mind. You know, things were so much easier when

It had been a couple of months since Jo'd last visited the island, so she'd figured she was overdue.

Of course, after the trip over, she needed to stretch her legs, so walking around the park.

"Because growing up in a roadhouse full of hunters isn't going to instill a sense of that."

[6buckstohisname]

Right, the Roadhouse. Sorry about that one. "If Sam and I ever ask you to help on a job in Carthage, Missouri, you tell us no, okay?"

Because changing the past had worked so well with his mom and dad.

[wannabehunter]

Aaaaaaaaand Jo could guess why he was asking her that. "Fine, I won't go on that job."

[6buckstohisname]

"Good." Now just shut the hell up while he did his manful brooding for a moment. "You know the Sam here?"

[wannabehunter]

"Yeah. Tall, bookish, every so often gets taken over by something evil and ties me to things." Don't judge, Dean, it was their thing. "Though it's been ages since the last time."

[6buckstohisname]

...well, they was an apt description later on too.

"Yeah, let's keep it that way." No one liked you, Meg. No one. "Wait, this one did that? He's still in college."

The timeline hurt his brain!

[wannabehunter]

Here, let it hurt you a bit more.

"Yeah, it happened back when we were all in high school."

[6buckstohisname]

Stop hating his brain!

"You went to high school together?"

[wannabehunter]

"Yeah, here, you did too." On the plus side, this was more reassurance this version of her was never going to end up in Carthage?

[6buckstohisname]

"Other me finished at a real high school?" Dean actually looked moderately impressed. "Not bad."

[wannabehunter]

Jo nodded. "I think that was the one year with a boring graduation ceremony."

[6buckstohisname]

"Aren't they all? You get a piece of paper and you throw a hat."

[wannabehunter]

"Then monsters attack, aliens blow up the school, crazy witches turning grads into baby animals...that one was mine." She wasn't going to mention the other things that'd happened at hers.

[6buckstohisname]

"...this place is so freakin' weird."

[wannabehunter]

"You noticed," Jo said dryly.
