A few weeks past after the Wendigo case in New Jersey and the group was just hanging around the bunker. Jenna and Dean were on the couch doing a movie marathon and Sam was reading books. Tori wanted to get some fresh air so she took a walk to a nearby park and sat down at a bench. It was strange no one was there at the time. It was about 4:30pm and it was a beautiful day. As Tori was sitting on the bench, a man in a black suit with a rose in hand walked over to Tori and sat with her, "Hello Tiger." The familiar voice said.
Tori looked over at him and said, "Oh hi Crowley. What's up?"
"Well love, remember that little deal we made? All of my demons have been put in line, scared straight, or tortured to the point where I killed them. Now if I remember correctly, you said that if I did this, you in fact would get personal with me. What do you say, Tiger?" As he said this, he handed the red rose to Tori and she took it.
"Crowley, thank you, but I don't even know what I meant by personal. I was just talking hoping it would work."
"Well, getting personal could mean anything I guess. So how about I take you to dinner, love. But you can't call your angel boyfriend."
"How do yo-"
"How do I know about him? After that day we made a deal, I got one of my trusted demons to keep tabs on you, make sure you were okay, especially make sure none of my demons come after you. But of course I can't see anything in the bunker. I saw how he treated you that night with the Wendigo and knew he loved you. But I like you so let me take you to dinner."
Tori sat there and thought about it. Crowley has been stalking her since the last time she saw him, so she thought he wouldn't harm her. She nodded her head and Crowley snapped his fingers taking them to one of his houses. Tori looked around in amazement, they were inside one of the spare bedrooms.
"Here love, put this dress on and we will go to dinner." He started to walk out the bedroom door but Tori stopped him.
"Wait, where are we?"
"We are in Paris. Now go ahead and get changed and give the door a knock when you are ready." Crowley closed the door and stood on the other side.
Tori grabbed the smooth red dress and went to the bathroom. She slipped into the dress and looked in the mirror. It fit her so well. It fitted tight to her body, hung low in the back, and ended just above her knees. She looked around the room for shoes but couldn't find any so she opened the door to get Crowley and he was holding matching heels in his hand, "Allow me, Tiger."
Tori sat down on the bed as Crowley placed the heels on her feet. He helped her stand then he snapped his fingers. Tori looked at her surroundings change. They were at a 5 star restaurant. There were roses everywhere and glass chandeliers hung from the ceiling. Everything was beautiful. While the two of them ate their food, Crowley asked Tori questions to get to know her more and she told him what he wanted to know. He asked things like how she became friends with the Winchesters and how Sam has basically fathered her. Crowley watched her the whole time and wondered how his charm hadn't worked on her. He laughed to himself thinking about this and Tori looked up at him, "What's funny, Crowley?"
"Oh nothing. Just thinking to myself. Would you like to dance?" He held out his hand and Tori thought about it.
"Uhm I'd rather not, but thanks." Tori looked down to her drink. She had a lot of wine already and had begun to feel tipsy.
"Well love, how about you dance with me? That's all. After all, I did get rid of the demon problem for you. You said we'd get personal, dancing is personal, dinner, not so much." He was still holding out his hand and Tori slowly placed her hand in his and rolled her eyes. She didn't want Crowley trying anything.
The songs were all slow. For most of the songs, Crowley rested one hand on Tori's lower back and his other held her hand while Tori's free hand rested on his shoulder. At first Tori had a hard time dancing with how much wine she had, but then got the hang of it. He swayed with her as if no one else was in the room and the only thing Tori could smell was his whiskey drenched breath. When wasn't he drinking whiskey.
The night seemed to last forever and Crowley noticed Tori slow down and get tired. She leaned closer into him and he realized the Winchesters are probably losing their mind trying to find her. She's been gone for 5 hours. He quickly snapped his fingers bringing her back to one of his mansions and snapped his fingers again changing her back to her regular clothes. She was drunk and he knew she couldn't dress herself. He snapped his fingers once more bringing them to the park he had taken her from earlier. She was in no condition to walk herself home so he pulled his cell phone out, sighed and began to call Sam.
The phone didn't even fully ring once cause Sam had been waiting for a call, "CROWLEY WHERE IS SHE" he yelled into the phone.
Crowley quickly pulled the phone away from his ear, "Easy Moose, come to the park that she always walks to. We are here." Sam hung up and grabbed the keys to the Impala and left.
"Wai-wait don't leave me alone. It its dangerouuuuuuus out heeeere." Tori slurred over her words seeing Crowley about to snap out of the park. Crowley rolled his eyes and knew he had to stay or the moose would be even more enraged with the demon king. He waited with her as he saw the familiar Winchester-wagon pull up to the park, "Well love, looks like our fun is over. Moose is here to rip my head off." Crowley whispered to Tori.
Sam got out and slammed the door and walked up to Crowley demanding to know what happened. After Crowley told him every single thing about the night, he disappeared and Sam picked Tori up and carried her to the Impala and placed her in the passenger seat and drove her home.
"Where have you been!" Dean yelled so loud when Tori walked through the door and she quickly covered here ears as they began to ring. She stumbled a little and grabbed Sam's shirt trying not to fall. He grabbed her arm holding her up. Sam began to explain what Crowley had told them and Jenna quickly interrupted, "Why didn't you call Gabriel?"
Tori looked down at her feet.
"Yeah, why didn't you call me?" Gabriel walked into the room and he sounded broken. He walked up to her and placed 3 fingers on her head and took her into sobriety. Sam let go of her arm as she stood better. Gabriel snapped his fingers and Tori and Gabriel were sitting on her bed.
"Why didn't you call me?" He asked again hoping she could answer now.
"I, well it was a deal I made with Crowley. Before I met you, there were demons that started to rebel and we got Crowley and he was really into me so I persuaded him to take care of the problem and if he did, I would get personal with him and I didn't know what I was talking about. Today in the park he took me and we went to dinner in Paris and danced and he told me not to call you and I didn't, I'm sorry. I just thought if I called you, he would put more crappy demons out into the world and make our job even more of a living hell."
Gabriel looked at her in disbelief. "So what? You're going out with the king of douchebag now while we sit here all worrying about you? Do you know how I felt? I thought either that you were dead, or you didn't love me anymore. And obviously I hoped it was that you didn't love me anymore even though it hurt me."
Tori started crying, "Gabriel I do love you! I knew he wouldn't hurt me so I didn't call. I didn't want him to put more demons out. I'm so sorry." Tori looked down and cried more.
Gabriel watched her and understood what she meant and did what she did. He wrapped his arms around her and wiped her tears away, "Tori I love you, I'll get a phone if you'll just text me to check in with me at least." She nodded her head and he picked her up and placed her under the covers. He went over to her movie collection and grabbed Alice in Wonderland, Tim Burton's version, and placed it in her PlayStation. He then got into the bed with Tori and she fell asleep in his arms.

"Jenna I swear if you do something like Tori did-" Dean started as he held Jenna in his arms.
"I know Dean. I won't. She only did it cause it was part of the job. She did make that deal with Crowley. I'm sure if she'd call Gabriel, he'd probably make more demons and make our lives harder." Jenna said as she rolled into Dean's chest and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah, I know. Sometimes I just wonder if she ever thinks before she does stuff but it oddly always seems to work. One day she could get herself killed if she keeps doing this."
"Don't say that. She's always been like that and she's lived this long. She seems to know what she's doing." Jenna looked at Dean signalling him to stop doubting Tori and he did. Dean kissed the top of Jenna's head and told her goodnight and the two fell asleep.
