They had been on the road for 10 hours now. The gig set up was stupid; first they had gone north, and now they were going south. Cas wasn't sure how many gigs were left, but it wasn't many. That thought urged him to get out of his already uncomfortable bed and ask someone.

He sulked to the lounge and flopped down on a seat. Then he looked at the time from his phone (it was charging next to the kitchen area); it was around noon. Benny was still reading the same book as yesterday but he had progressed quite a lot.

"How many gigs do we have left?" Cas asked Benny and lay on the seat. "Just this one," Benny said, not taking his eyes off of his book. "Wow, is it the end already?" Cas asked and yawned.

"Boys," a loud voice from speakers no one knew existed filled the bus and startled nearly everyone. "What the hell Bobby!" Dean shouted from his bed. "What? I just figured out how to use the microphone," Bobby said, his voice loud and clear.

"We have almost arrived at our location. Your gig is tomorrow evening, not today, so you're free tonight, and you're- we're staying at a hotel. Now I've been awake for days, so if anyone dares to bother me at the hotel, I will cut them," Bobby explained. "I'm looking at you Cas," he added.

"Your weird manager said he needs to speak to you once we make it, so don't go running off to bars," he went on. "Who goes to bars?" Gabe asked sarcastically.

"We get back on the road in two days, at 10 am. I'll see you then," Bobby finished and put the microphone back in its place which made annoying sounds. "You should watch our gig tomorrow night," Dean shouted. "Maybe I should, I didn't watch any other gig," Bobby shouted back.

Dean suddenly jumped off of his bed and ran the small distance to the lounge, then sat next to Benny on the seat. "This last gig's gonna be our best one," he said. "Just make sure you don't forget any lyrics Dean," Sam said from his bed and didn't hear Dean imitating him.

"Oh, Cas," Benny put his book down and turned to Cas. "Are you gonna do the new solo or not this time?" he asked. "I will," Cas said after sighing. "Alright. Just making sure." Benny took his book back and kept reading.

"What book is that?" Dean asked after some silence. "It's about psychology," Benny said and Dean tilted his head. "Okay."

The bus made it to their last hotel for the tour. The band + Sam and Bobby left the bus and went up to the crew bus parked a few slots next to theirs. "Hello boys, how do you feel?" Crowley asked to the band walking towards him.

"Peachy," Dean replied. "Not tired or anything are you?" Crowley ignored Dean and asked. "Why?" Benny asked back. "Because you have a live show scheduled tonight. By the way, you have a new Twitter and Tumblr account," Crowley explained.

"What?" Dean asked.

"Crowley hired me to take care of all technical issues, so I made sure you guys would be known easier," Charlie said and smiled. She was standing behind Crowley with her backpack on her back. "What's our username?" Gabe asked. "KingsPurgatory," Charlie said proudly. "And it already has ten thousand followers. I announced the live show tonight. I'll come by to one of your rooms to set it up as well," she added.

"Sounds good," Dean said and shrugged. "If you want, you can hire me full time to take care of your online status," Charlie said. Dean looked for someone to make eye-contact with, and ended up with Gabe.

"Let's go for it," Gabe said and Dean shrugged again. "You're hired," he said and Charlie grinned. "Yay! Where do you wanna do the live show?" she asked. "My room?" Dean asked back and everyone nodded.

"Great! I'll come by at six thirty," Charlie said and went back to the crew bus, presumably to get her stuff. The band walked inside the hotel to check in.
