Lucifer finally dragged himself into the house, with a soaking Mikey, an hour later. Sam was casually sprawled out on the couch, watching Strictly come dancing with Charlie, Jo, Crowley and Balthazar.
"Come on, they deserve a higher score than that with the dance they did," Crowley sounded personally offended.
"But did you see the way she stumbled? That hurt them."
"Hey Luce," Charlie waved at him, acting as if he wasn't dripping lake water all over the carpet.
Sam stiffened, turning and smiling politely. "Hey Luce."
Several seconds pass as the two stare each other out, Lucifer glaring ever so slightly. Then Sam rolled over the back of the couch with the grace of a moose (so basically he fell on his face) and took off running out of the room.
Lucifer gave chase. Michael just threw his hands in the air and stomped off towards the shower. Crowley and the others simply shrug and go back to watching their show.
Charlie however, cackles loudly and follows Lucifer. She needed to see how this went.
Sam scrambled up the stairs, shouting as Lucifer made attempts to grab the back of his shirt. Charlie almost passed out from laughing and running.
"Gabe! Jess!" Sam ran through his room, which was strangely missing Gabriel.
"Smart move, Sammy, looks like you're trapped." Lucifer was grinning.
Sam hesitated, glancing around as if looking for something. Then, with a cocky smirk and sarcastic salute, Sam turned and dove out his open window.
Swearing, Lucifer follows suit. Then he remembers that they were on the second story. He crashes into the bushes below the window with a long string of pain-filled swear words. Did Charlie jump out behind him? You betcha she did, and landed heavily on Lucifer's back.
Dean happened to be walking by at that moment, and looked down at them.
"Oh, this is..."
"Don't you fucking dare." Lucifer struggled to move.
"I mean, I know you're a fallen angel and all, but you really don't have to always be recreating the... fall."
"Your brother is dead."
Dean purses his lips, looking up. "You sure about that?"
Lucifer looked up in time to see a bucket of slime cascading towards where he and Charlie lay.
"DAMMIT GABRIEL!"
-----------
Gabriel giggled, watching as the slime tipped from the bucket and landed on his fallen brother.
"DAMMIT GABRIEL!"
"Teaches you for chasing my moose!"
Lucifer swears and Gabriel decides to make himself scarce before the angry devil got back to his feet. Of course, it was Lucifer and Lucifer had a few tricks up his sleeve as well.
Tricks that lead the three tricksters to their current predicament.
Jess had been the first to get captured. She had been hiding out in the treeline with Sam and Gabe when an angry Satan broke up their little party. Gabriel, who had been lounging in the low tree branches, fell face first on the ground before scrambling after the other two fleeing tricksters. Lucifer just sighs and decides to go to Mikey for help on revenge.
The three tricksters rush back inside to a now empty living room, only to be ambushed by Alfie.
"I want to help you prank," he states.
"Sorry kid, this is big kids pranking, you'd never survive."
"I'm 16!"
"A child."
"Gabe, you were doing worse at his age," Sam nudged his fiance.
"Fineeee. The kid can join."
Alfie cheered, chasing behind the other kids as they ran upstairs to launch the next round of pranks on their trapped vict- friends.
---------
Sam and Samandriel sat on the roof, almost falling asleep in the warmth of the sun as they waited. Jess was waiting patiently on the balcony on Michifer's room and Gabriel hid behind the cars. Sam really hoped that Dean didn't kill Gabriel. But looking at the Impala's new hot pink rims, he suddenly wasn't so sure that Dean would see the funny side. Gabriel was currently putting the finishing touches on the pink streak that ran through the Impala's bonnet.
"Gabe is so dead." Samandriel voiced Sam's thoughts as they watched his brother.
"Yup."
Sam checked the balloons one last time, full of excited - and nervous- energy.
Finally, he heard Jess whistle the signal. Grinning, the two boys pull the loose rope ends and sets the chaotic prank into action.
A hundred or so balloons packed full of glittery paint gather speed as they roll down the slope of the roof and fall towards the unsuspecting group below. Charlie, Dean, Crowley and Balthazar all start swearing as they are suddenly under assault. They stumble towards the partially hidden tarp that was covered in thick, slippery green slime. Sam and Alfie had a great point of view to watch as their friends slid along the tarp. Sam laughs, hearing a string of curse words following the falling bodies as they land on the water slide that sends them flying into the muddy patch Gabriel had had fun making.
Sam had never seen the man so messy before.
Dean was the first to manage to stand back up, rubbing paint and mud from his face. Sam clumsily climbs down from their spot on the roof, slipping and landing in the bushes before running over to Gabriel, who was on the ground giggling.
"That went so well," Gabriel said, before howling with laughter again.
"Gabriel! I swear I'm-" Dean stops, suddenly going pale under mud and paint. "MY BABY!"
"Deano, lets calm down for a moment."
Dean looked like he was capable of murder in that moment.
"Gabe, we should-"
"Yea, lets go."
Sam and Gabe took off running and are soon joined by their accomplishes as Dean has a fit and Lucifer gives chase the moment he could see clearly again.
"My car!" Dean could still be heard shouting.
Sam snickered, looking sideways at Gabe and realizing that he was puffing and struggling to keep up. Sam keeps a smile plastered across his face, not wanting Gabriel to see his worry, and smoothly shifted closer. Then, he helps the shorter man on his back before speeding up.
"Go up that tree!" Gabriel pointed at a large oak tree just ahead of them.
Sam doubted that would work, but Lucifer was gaining on them.
So he headed for the tree, Gabriel grabs a lower branch and starts climbing. Sam grinned, following close behind.They kept climbing higher and higher, Lucifer's voice shouting up at them.
They soon sat on the highest branches. Looking around at the forest that surrounded them, the sun shining on their faces. All they could see was sky for forever.
"You little shits better get comfy cause I'm not planning on leaving!"Lucifer yells.
And that's the story of how Sam and Gabriel get stuck up in a massive oak tree.
