Dean and Cas began to think they were trapped with no way out in a never ending Law & Order episode. A week after Castiel's kidnapping, the two teens testified in Allistair's trial. The albino gecko received a two year prison sentence with no chance of parole. Then a month later, John was brought to trial. Both Cas and Dean testified. The entire community of Lawrence was shocked to say the least, when news spread like wildfire of the pastor arranging the Singer boy's kidnapping. John was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. Bobby screamed obscenities at his former friend, as two officers escorted the man of the church into a van, which would drive him to a penitentiary up north. Gordon and Alphonse got a lengthier sentence, because their rap sheets were over six feet long each.
Henry was the only Winchester, who visited John once a month. The man after all would always be his son. John cried for a long time, when his father came to visit him for the first time. He repeatedly stated he was sorry for everything he'd done to his children, Dean in particular. Henry's heart ached for his only child, but it would take his grandsons years to truly forgive their father. John handed his father three individual envelopes, which were addressed to each of his sons. Henry promised to hand them to his grand kids.
Sam opted never to read his letter. So he tossed the envelope inside the fireplace found in Henry's living room. Adam kept it unopened inside a small mahogany chest, his grandpa helped him build. Dean shoved his inside a family album. Perhaps one day, when he and Cas had kids of their own; he may read it. Right now John Winchester was persona non grata in his life. Dean would never forgive the man for all the pain he caused to so many people.
Adam and Sam flourished under their grandpa's love and care. The boys brought friends from school over for the weekends and Henry took his youngest grandsons to water parks down south. The boys loved stuffing themselves at diners and ice cream parlors. For the first time in their young lives, Sam and Adam were normal kids and they loved every minute of it. At first it took Adam a while to get used to John not being a part of their lives. But eventually he became comfortable in their new environment.
Valentine's Day arrived. It was the night of the much anticipated showing of "Grease" by the LGBT club. At the last moment, Principal Roman tried to sabotage the show, but his nefarious plans never came to fruition. Zeke's mom, who is a lawyer threatened to sue the principal, and the man acquiesced.
Ruby came up with a bad case of mono two days before the show. Charlie and Cas were panicking. The girl happened to be one of the leads. Her understudy had broken a leg in a bus accident the week prior. Cas begged Dean to take the role of Danny. His boyfriend had a pair of awesome pipes. He always loved hearing Dean sing in the shower. The Winchester knew all the songs, because he spent most of rehearsal time building sets for the show.
At the last moment, the lead couple was changed from females to males. Meg's role of Sandy was changed to Sammy. Castiel was given the part. Dean threw up minutes before the initial curtain call. Luckily, Charlie procured a tooth paste, a brush and mouth wash for her friend. Castiel held his boyfriend's hands before the curtain rose.
"You're going to knock them dead, St. Dean." Cas winked at him and breathed deeply.
The show went on without a hitch. Well except for Gabe falling off a classic convertible that was used for the "Grease Lightning" number. He took it all in stride and continued his routine, even though his tail bone throbbed incessantly.
At the end of the show, the audience gave the performers a three minute standing ovation. Principal Roman scowled from his perch on one of the top balconies in the school's auditorium. Dean and Cas received rave reviews for their performance. Later that evening, the couple made love in the backseat of the Impala. The teens exchanged plain silver bands, which served as promise rings.
