[ It’s not every day that the people of Wonderland get good news, and boy has Dean gotten some— at least according to his brother. It’s why when the feed clicks on, the view is of both brothers leaving the Mansion, their destination becoming clear within the next few seconds. Parked just outside sits a car, black surface shining and spotless and perfect.

And Dean? Dean looks beyond excited, breaking away from his brother with a few quick steps as he approaches the newly arrived vehicle. Like a kid in a candy store, he huffs a laugh as he approaches it, hand reaching out to touch the Impala the moment he’s close enough, an undeniable gasp leaving him as he does. ]

Baby—

[ Anything and anyone else seems to be forgotten after that, Dean’s focus entirely on the car. He all but embraces it, whispering —Sorry I left you, I’m back now, you’re so beautiful, I’ll never let anyone hurt or touch you again — things to what’s arguably a third Winchester by every standard except blood.

The reason it's all being recorded in the first place is due to Sam who, though the network can't see his face, has the whole scene playing out via his camera. The younger Winchester, who'd spotted the car earlier, just scoffs in honest disbelief. ]

Told you. I wouldn't've believed it, but... yeah. Guess she left it behind.

[ "For us" goes unspoken after the exceptionally awkward story that she'd elected to share with everyone. It's a backwards kind of bittersweet now that she'd gone, gifting them their literal mobile home. ]

Just wanted you to see it. I'll give you two a room.

[ With a little laugh, he turns away as if to head back inside. However, the video from the device switches to another recorded feed, one from a camera that Sam had stuck within the car before bringing his brother out. Apparently edited for content, a song queues up in the background to overlay the scene.

And what a scene it is. Anyone who actually decides it’s a good idea to keep watching will be subjected to more of, well, what’s already been going on. Dean’s all but kissing the car, rounding around the back until he’s at the driver’s side, then slipping in to sit behind the wheel. Hands feel down the steering wheel, then the side compartment — his cassettes, yes — and every inch of the car. All with Dean looking as if he’s been reunited with a long lost friend, words of affection still whispered to the car in a hushed tone.

Shh, this is a private moment. ]

[ snort. ]

Sam found it. Think it was just out here, like this. [ better not to get caught up on the details. ] Sam also figures Becky must've used her, uh, coupon thing on it. Kinda agree, it makes the most sense.

Makes you wonder if she would have given it to you before she disappeared.

[ Think of all the things she could have done in it, Dean. Just picture it wait no, don't. That could lead to nightmares. ]

Anyway, I gotta say this was a most excellent use of a vendor coupon thingy.

[ ......too late, already picturing it-- and shuddering. so much shuddering. better to just wave the thought away. ]

Uh-huh, I was damn surprised. Beats what I was gonna ask for, anyway.

I haven't even thought about what I'll ask for. I might save it for a rainy day, or a scary day. You know, since those kinda happen a lot.

[ She's going to ask for freakin' Excalibur if she gets freaked out enough. ]

What were you gonna ask for?

S'what Sam thinks we should all do-- I mean, it ain't a bad idea. [ but it's not a crime to use it on something just nice either.

...anyway, he smiles a moment later, all smug because what he'd been thinking? super awesome. ]

Magic Fingers.

[ Her eyes narrow at this. Hold up, cowboy. ]

You mean...like those vibrating bed things? That's - [ She doesn't know what. Except she does, because those things look like they're pretty awesome. ] kinda cool. You ever try to ask the closet for one?

If they can fit that kind of thing.

The very kinda bed, you bet. [ see?? a fucking great idea. but ah-- ]

It just wouldn't be the same, y'know? If I'm gonna magic finger it up in this place, it has to be the legitimate shit, not some Wonderland knock-off.

[ or maybe dean's just being unreasonable. ]

[ She has to grin at that. So, the closets are the Walmart of Wonderland? Why not. ]

That's pretty legit. Were you just gonna carry it on your back from the vendors or do they tack on a delivery fee?

They better. Otherwise I might just have to call you down for assistance.

[ how does that sound. ]

Or we can con someone into it. Oh, maybe James can magic it up! Like with a float-y spell or something.

[ She did not sign up for manual labor, Dean Winchester. :| ]

[ it was in the terms of their friendship contract, charlie. read the fine print. either way, dean makes a face. ]

That-- brat ain't using any kinda mumbo jumbo hocus pocus crap on anything of mine.

[ Clearly, she needs a lawyer. ]

Oh, come on. What do you think he's gonna do, turn stuff into frogs? [ Wait, this is James Potter they're talking about... ] Okay, scratch that. No magic funny business.

Thank you. He threatened me with boils once, you know. [ sort of. ] Anything goes when your name is James Potter.

Uber gross, man. Remind me not to make James angry.

Unless I have some good retribution cooked up beforehand - then, maybe.

[ She feels like James could probably out prank her anyday. ]

So, I'm gonna get you a car gift! How do you feel about a rabbit's foot keychain?

[ Not the cursed kind, but it might be pink. ]

[ UM... ]

You sayin' my baby ain't fine enough the way she is? She doesn't need dressin' up.

[ not of the rabbit foot kind, especially not pink. ]

[ CRAP. ]

No, no way! Of course not, just a nice little 'Welcome to Wonderland' gift! [ A too innocent smile appears here. ] Maybe I'll go with something a little less fuzzy. Dancing Hawaiian girl on the dash?

[ DOUBLE UM..... ]

How 'bout you just come 'round for that ride and we forget about any of the, uh, extra details.

[ look he's just not gonna dress up his car. don't get all sam on him, charlie. ]

Okay, okay. No presents for Baby, got it.

[ At least she didn't get to the bumper sticker portion of her gift offerings. ]

Do I gotta schedule in a time and stuff?

[ whew.

dean waves a hand. ] Nah, home folk get to stop by any time.

[ almost all home folk, anyway. ] I'll be here, so drop by whenever.

You got it, bro. Can't wait!

Awesome, I'll catch you later then.

[ end feed. ]
