Day 15 of Christmas: Attend a tree lighting!

The war of the Winchesters silently raged on from last night. Although during breakfast you'd asked to put the feud aside for tonight since you'd be going out. Sam thankfully agreed and Dean reluctantly did too. You were all in the impala driving for a while. You were still in deep taking your nap, as was Sam. You were driving to New York. Usually, it would take about a day, but at the speed, you were going, the back roads, and all of you switching off to drive, you'd be there by nightfall. Which was perfect. Taking minimal bathroom breaks was a good choice too. And although the route forced you to take the normal highways, you were making excellent time. You'd be driving for the last time of the day, with 3 more hours to go, you still had daylight left and you encouraged the boys to get some rest after you switched. They asked if you'd be okay. You told them you'd already used the bathroom and had a long playlist ready to go. You were just gonna enjoy the ride.

When you pulled off, you saw the boys settle in and close their eyes. Your music made soft background noise and you softly nodded your head to the beat. Following your navigation directions, you thought about how exciting it was to finally return to New York. You'd lived there for about 5 years. You'd ultimately saved enough money from your job to move there and not be completely broke when you got there. You lived in comfort for a few months so you could find a job you liked. Living in Lower Manhattan, you had to find a job that would comfortably fit your desired lifestyle. And you did, you found a small mom-and-pop type shop in Brooklyn that was paying a considerable amount over minimum wage. You immediately took the job and every morning for 5 years, you'd take the 30 minutes subway ride to Brooklyn from lower manhattan. And the days you had off you spent exploring the city.

Your favorite place is the small flower garden in a remote part of Central Park. You'd bring your laptop and books with you and nestled into your little spot, saying hi to the little old lady who was always there when you got there and she'd leave after you settled in/. You always thought she was watching your spot for you. You had so many.... interesting stories in your time living in the city. It was crazy and stressful at times, but every night you'd fall asleep to the comforting sound of the city. Cars honking and the endless humming of all the LED lights from Time Square.

It was nice to fall asleep to that every night. Which is why it was such a shock for you to move to Kansas with the boys. No cars honking, no bright lights covering your walls while you slept. I mean you knew it'd be different but not... that different. Now you sleep with your tv on just for some noise. Even going so far as to watch videos of people walking through your favorite city. It's never filled the void but it did help you feel more at peace. Now you were going back, about two years ago you bought our small apartment so that you could always come back home whenever you wanted, and not having to worry about paying rent every month for a place you barely lived in anymore was definitely a weight off your back.

You knew that the city would be a big shock for the boys, so you'd prepared them while on the drive you'd started early that morning. Told them everything they should and shouldn't do. The tips you'd picked up living there. Everything. You knew the boys would never be able to remember everything you said, but you reminded them that you were with them. You weren't just gonna "poof into the ether.". Having your own apartment in the city also saved you guys the money on an expensive ass hotel room. Everything in that city required you to give up your firstborn child, but living there so long, you know how to budget around the city. The sun was just starting to lower over the horizon when you'd made it into the state, with over one more hour to get into the city. When you saw the enormous fluorescent lights and the relatively slow traffic, you relaxed and breathed in the smell of home. Which was mostly smog and urine but still. You were home. You'd waken up the boys by turning up the radio to an excruciating level. They both shot up and gave you some serious bitch face when you laughed at their faces. You told them you'd be about 30 minutes away from your destination, and they once again relaxed in their seats. You'd been answering questions for them for about 25 minutes and almost to your surprise. It was only 5:45 pm and the sun was just about to disappear behind the sky. You rushed quickly and finally got to that big, beautiful tree.

Sam was the first out of the car, followed quickly by you and Dean. All of you crossed the street as they pointed to the tree with child-like excitement. It was 5:55. Just five more minutes and the time passed as the boys talked about the huge ornaments. You started counting down from 10. The boys waited for the longest ten seconds of their lives. Other people buzz around you waiting for those lights to glow. As soon as you reached one, The lights on the trees lit up the streets and the Winchester's eyes. They chattered excitedly and Dean scooped you up in a bear hug. Twirling you around a bit and setting you back on your feet again, you giggled as Sam did the same. They couldn't believe their eyes. And you'd known they would be able to sleep at your apartment for the rest of the night. No no, you'd be walking all over Time Square and anywhere else you could think to take them.

You couldn't believe the country boys took so well to the big city. But these were the Winchesters you were talking about.

They could face anything.
