² Deception - Dean Winchester

Twenty-Three

we're just going to pretend Nickel World has been around for a while bc google doesn't tell me when it was founded. anyways, here's the best Jean chapter i've written.

Jenny tossed her legs up onto the dining table, a pen cap between her lips as a concentrated frown was on her face. The pen in her hand was held firmly on the newspaper, and when a long enough silence had passed, she let out a frustrated noise, spitting the cap up and catching it.

"This is impossible!" She yelled, nearly startling Sam and Dean. Sam looked over at the newspaper, reading it.

"Fergie." Sam answered, Dean and Jenny slowly turning to him. He glanced between the two awkwardly, shifting in his chair. "Jess played her music a lot."

"Right..." Jenny gave Sam a suspicious glare before writing the name in the small boxes of the crossword puzzle, frowning again.

"I haven't found anything that could be a case for us since the motel thing." Dean complained, staring at his computer. "Man I am bored."

"Tell me about it. I've gone through 17 sudoku's in the last two days. And I beat my high score in Tetris twice." Jenny pointed to him with her pen, looking away in thought. "I need to beat it again."

As Jenny took out her phone, Sam's face turned to his 'i have a great idea' look, pulling his brother close to whisper something to him. Dean looked from his brother to Jenny, who was already too indulged in her game to listen.

After a moment, Dean cleared his throat. "Hey, Jen?" Jenny looked at Dean quickly before back to her game. "What do you say we go for a beer run? We don't have much food left either."

Jenny shut her phone off, shrugging. "Sure. I could use some air that's not mold infested." She smiled, grabbing her jacket as Sam smiled at the two.

"Hey, grab me a soda, will you?" Sam asked as they started heading out the door.

"You got it, Samurai."

Jenny watched as the little shops whipped past the Impala, looking at the people on the sidewalk with a small smile. She suddenly frowned, watching as the gas station passed by. "Hey, Dean, you missed the gas station."

"Hm? Oh, yeah, we're not going to the gas station." Jenny turned to Dean, confused at the smile he had on his face.

"What do you mean?" She asked, watching as Dean's smile grew larger. He turned to her for a moment and winked, looking back to the road. She glared at him, suspicion rising in her gut as she sank deeper into her seat, watching as Dean turned into a Nickel World.

Jenny's eyes immediately lit up with excitement, a giant smile plastering onto her face. "Holy shit I haven't been in one of these since I was a kid! Is this what you two were whispering about?!" Jenny yelled with enthusiasm as Dean held back a laugh, admiring the joy in her eyes for a moment.

"Yeah, Sam thought the two of us should have some time together. I mean, with everything that's been going on, we haven't really had any you and me time." Dean shrugged as Jenny shook his arm.

"This is great! I bet I'll kick your ass at ski-ball." She grinned, and Dean gave her a look that had said otherwise.

"You're on, shortcake." The two got out of the car quickly, Jenny rushing over to snag Dean's hand and drag him into the arcade, trying her hardest to hide the excitement coursing through her body.

"Hello! Welcome to Nickel World." A young teen smiled behind the counter, Jenny and Dean walking over.

"We just need a few coins for the game." Dean smiled at the young man, who nodded. Jenny quickly pulled out her credit card, handing it to the boy as he took out a handful of coins and gave it to her. Taking the card back, Jenny was quick to rush to the arcade floor.
