Dean waited in the living room, wondering where the Doctor was. Then again, he was usually late. Sam paced the hallway, thinking that Dean should not have invited the time lord. Cas waited in the middle of the room, finding himself useless, but Dean had asked him to stay at least for the next two days for the holiday.

“Cas,” Dean whispered, catching the angel’s attention. “You don’t have to stand there.”

“I know,” Cas answered calmly. Dean sighed and turned on the TV to find A Charlie Brown Christmas playing.

“Have you ever seen this?” Dean asked as Cas shook his head. Dean gestured for him to sit down on the chair beside him. Cas cautiously sat down, unsure what this was about. Dean smiled, thinking that this guy was something else.

About five minutes in, Cas started to get really into the show. Every once in a while, Cas would ask questions. Why was the dog dancing? Is Lucy really qualified to be a psychiatrist? Why was the dog acting like a penguin? Dean would just shrug, unsure how to answer the question nicely. Cas usually didn’t care about getting the answer, but was rather interested in the special. Sam came in every once in a while as well, wondering what was going on and which part they were on. Dean even saw him smile once before he went back into the hallway.

“That young boy is too smart for his age,” Cas observed of Linus.

“How so?” Dean implored, not entirely interested.

“He talks like a wise old man, but he is a child,” Cas replied as the credits started to role. Dean sat up, looking to see what was on next.

“You want to watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas?” Dean asked as Cas gave him a strange look.

“Dean, no one can steal Christmas,” Cas insisted, making Dean laugh.

“We are totally watching this,” Dean smiled, leaning back into the couch. Cas stared at him for a moment before turning back to the TV.

About halfway through the show, there was a knock at the door. Dean went to go get it, but Sam beat him to it. Dean reclined back as he watched the Grinch steal all the presents and Christmas decorations.

“Can I help you?” Sam asked after opening the door to the four strangers.

“Sam?” the man in the pinstripe suit asked. Sam tilted his head at the man before looking at the others.

“Do I know you?” Sam whispered, confused. The man frowned, almost like he was disappointed.

“Sam, it’s me. The Doctor!” the man urged, making Sam laugh.

“Right, because you look just like him,” Sam informed before closing the door. The man claiming to be the Doctor held the door open, staring at Sam.

“Sam, it really is me. Who else would know that Dean’s been in Hell,” the Doctor informed as Sam looked shocked. “Or that you called me after Dean went to Hell, talking about how you were going to get Dean back somehow.”

“Doctor?” Sam asked, really confused. The woman rolled her eyes.

“Yes, it’s the Doctor? Can we come inside now? I’m freezing my tail off!” she exclaimed before Sam let them in. She muttered a thank you as she came into the living room. Dean glanced up, surprised to see her there, and smiled.

“And who might you be?” Dean asked before the Doctor walked in.

“Stop it,” he warned, looking around the place, hardly registering that Dean was there. Dean immediately stood up, staring at him.

“Doctor?” Dean asked as the time lord turned and gave a small smile. “You’ve changed since I last saw you.”

“Yeah, it happens,” the Doctor whispered, rubbing the back of his neck. Cas stood up behind Dean, shocked to see the man there.
