Invisible (A Jean Hobbs fic)

Chapter 2

Dean had a notepad sitting on his lap, waiting for Jack.

"I wonder what ideas Jack has for the video. Whatever they are, they're probably better than mine."

He remembered how Jack once told him that all his ideas were terrible. He knew he was joking but given the negative comments he'd gotten on his videos and on Twitter, Dean wondered if there was some truth to what Jack had said.

"I'm sure this video will get more views than anything I've put up on my own. But I guess that's a good thing. At least people will be entertained. Maybe I'll finally get some positive commentary."

Dean heard a knock at the door. When the opened it, he saw Jack standing there. Dean leaned forward and gave the taller man a hug, which Jack eagerly returned.

"Come in," Dean said before stepping aside.

Jack walked through the door and quickly surveyed the living room. "I don't see a camera. Do you not want to do filming today?" he asked.

"It depends on what we get done. If you want to get something to eat or need to go to the bathroom, you can. We don't have to start work right away," Dean said.

"I'll use the bathroom and then we can start."

Dean nodded and sat back down on the couch. He wrote down the ideas he had come up with in the past two days.

"I'll find what his ideas are first. That way, I can know whether to bother voicing my opinion."

A few moments later, Jack came back and sat down next to Dean. "So what ideas do you have?" he asked.

"I want to hear your ideas first," Dean said.

"Um...okay." He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and unfolded it. "I was thinking we could maybe do a sketch with us being a superhero duo. We haven't done something like that before."

"With ridiculous names and powers I assume?"

"Of course."

"What else?"

"Well, we haven't vlogged together in years so we could do a Q&A for the fans."

"I'd be open to that. Anything else?"

"Would you be up for doing a Zelda parody? I'd be Link, you'd be my companion and we could get Carrie to be Zelda and Ben to be Ganondorf."

"What would be the story?" Dean asked.

"Basically Link defeats Ganondorf again and saves Zelda, but this time Link expects something from her in return, if you catch my drift."

"Sex, right?"

"Yep. But of course, Zelda doesn't really want to and Link's companion, i.e. you, actually chastises Zelda for not putting out for Link since he's saved her so many times."

"Doesn't that send a bad message?" Dean asked.

"Maybe, but I think most folks will laugh since most fans of the games would like to see Link get some sort of reward from the princess that he constantly saves," Jack said.

"I guess you're right."

"What are your ideas?" Jack asked.

Dean looked down. "You probably wouldn't want to hear them."

Jack looked at Dean, confused by his words. "What do you mean? Of course I want to hear them."

"Well...I was thinking we could do something similar to the Dead Girl video."
