Pairing: Sam X past reader, Sam X Ruby (currently), Dean X Donna
A/N: Did you like the movie “The Parent Trap” as a kid? It is one of my favorite movies! I decided to write my own version, with a Supernatural twist, of course!
Summary: Mary Winchester and Annie Campbell meet at summer camp, and they quickly realize they look too much alike for it to be a coincidence. They are twins! Their parents, Sam Winchester and Y/N Campbell divorced 12 years before, each taking custody of one girl. Now Sam lives in California and Y/N in New York. The girls hatch a plan to bring their parents back together, but will Sam’s new fiancee ruin their plans?
RUBY
Ruby was so astonished, she dropped her Hermes bag to the floor with a clatter, spilling the contents everywhere. But she simply stepped over the items and marched over to Sam’s chair.
She stood there glowering at him, arms crossed, tapping her foot impatiently. “Twins? Seriously?”
“Now Ruby….” Sam began, holding up a hand to try and placate her.
“Don’t you ‘now Ruby’ me! You didn’t think to mention that your daughter has an identical twin? When were you planning on sharing this little tidbit? Our honeymoon?” She was practically vibrating with anger. “As if one wasn’t bad enough.” She snapped.
That was it. You had heard plenty. You slowly slid back your chair and got to your feet. You walked around the table to where Ruby was standing, looking the other woman up and down.
“Hi, it’s Ruby, right? We haven’t met. I’m Y/N, the girls’ mother. Sam probably didn’t mention anything because I have primary custody of Annie and we live in New York, you see.”
Ruby’s chin lifted a little higher. “If you live in New York, then why are you here?”
You gave Ruby a friendly smile, but inside you were seething. This is who Sam wanted to marry?? “It’s funny, actually. The girls met at camp and switched places. I came out here to switch them back. But then I heard some ridiculous story about boarding school. You know girls and their imaginations! Anyway, now that they know about each other, Sam and I need to revise our custody agreement before Annie and I go back to New York.”
“We can’t go back yet, Mom! We just got here!” one of the twins protested.
You gave her a sympathetic look. “I know, Annie. But your Dad and Ruby have a wedding to plan, and the last thing she needs is wife #1 underfoot.”
“Are you sure she’s Annie?” the other girl asked. “Maybe I am. We are identical, after all.”
“That’s not funny!” Sam commented, looking from one twin to the other. Then he realized something. The girls were dressed exactly the same, and he had no idea who was who.
“Mary, stop it!” you demanded.
“Sorry, Mom!” The girls said in unison.
You and Sam looked at the girls, and then at each other. “Do you know who is who?” Sam asked Dean, who had been quietly watching the exchange.
“I have no idea, and it looks like neither do you,” Dean commented before he took a sip of his coffee.
Sam looked at Y/N, who shrugged helplessly. “So what, are we supposed to guess?”
“You can try, but we’ve gotten really good at playing each other since camp.”
Ruby was completely out of patience by this point. She stomped over to the twin nearest to her and grabbed her arm. “This one’s Mary, I’m sure of it.”
Y/N rolled her eyes and looked at her daughters. “What exactly are you trying to achieve here, girls? Is there a point to this plan of yours?”
The twins got up and stood together, facing their parents. Dressed as they were, it was impossible to tell them apart.
“Here is what we want: some time together. The annual end-of-the-summer camping trip? We want to go this weekend, as a family. At the end, we’ll tell you who we are. Those are our terms.”
Ruby looked incredulous. “You’ve got to be kidding! Sam is not taking you camping. You are not in charge here. Sam?” she asked, looking at her fiancee for backup. But he wasn’t even looking at her. He was looking at Y/N.
“I don’t see any other option. It’s only for the weekend.” Sam said cautiously.
“What? You are not going camping with your ex-wife and your twin terrors. I won’t have it, Sam!” Ruby was so furious her face had gone from red to purple back to red again. “You are just going to let them blackmail you like this?” she snapped.
Donna took a seat next to you at the counter to watch the show. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. The girls were playing a dangerous game here, but she had to give them props for trying.
“Do you have a better idea?” Sam asked Ruby in an exasperated tone.
You spoke up. “I do. Ruby is right. You shouldn’t be going camping with your ex-wife, Sam. That isn’t fair to her. I propose that Ruby goes in my place. That way the girls can get to know their new stepmother better.”
“What?” The girls and Ruby said at the same time.
“Actually, that’s not a bad idea. What do you think Dean?” Sam asked.
Dean always accompanied Sam and Mary on the yearly camping trip. He opened his mouth to protest, but after a look from Donna, thought better of it. “Sure, fine, whatever.”
“She doesn’t really seem like the outdoorsy type, Mom,” one of the twins commented with a smirk.
“What? I can camp.” Ruby said stubbornly, giving you a calculating look.
“I’m sure you’ll do just fine,” you said reassuringly as the twins snickered.
“Yeah, those Manolos just SCREAM Girl Scout,” Donna commented to you out of the corner of her mouth. Ruby glared at her, telling her with a look that her days are numbered.
“So it’s settled then? Great! I’ll stay here and hang out with Donna. We have a lot of catching up to do.” A knowing look passed between them, and Donna looked over at the twins with a secretive smile.
Dean knew that look and almost felt bad for Ruby. They were up to something, he was sure of it. He sighed deeply, wishing there was some way he could get out of this.
“Sounds great,” Ruby said with a tight smile.
On Friday morning, Mary and Annie stood in the driveway with Sam and Dean waiting for Ruby to show up. “Maybe she changed her mind,” one of the twins said helpfully.
“Listen you two, try to be nice to Ruby, okay? She’ll be a bit out of her element here, so go easy on her.” Sam admonished as Ruby’s convertible sped up the driveway.
“Just a bit?” Dean said sarcastically to the twins as Sam headed over to Ruby’s car.
“Ready to go, Babe?” He said with a smile. Ruby got out of the car, dressed in jeans and a flannel that was clearly brand new, and high-heeled ankle boots.
“You’re going hiking in those?” Annie asked with a smirk.
Ruby glanced at her feet. “What? Sam said to wear boots.”
Dean smothered a laugh. This was going to be interesting. “He meant hiking boots, Ruby.”
Donna and Y/N came outside to see everyone off. You were wearing a pair of cutoff shorts and a t-shirt you had borrowed from Donna and holding a mug of coffee. She looked as young as the day Sam had met her, and he had to shake his head to chase the memories away.
“Look at Ruby’s boots, Mom!” One of the twins called out.
You walked over to get a closer look. “Oh honey, you’ll get blisters with those. Maybe Donna has something you can borrow?”
Ruby gritted her teeth. “I’ll be fine, thanks.”
Sam leaned into the back seat and pulled out a large suitcase. “What’s this?”
“My stuff, what do you think?” Ruby snapped.
Sam closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “We are hiking to the lake, Ruby. We have to carry everything in with us. You can bring whatever you can fit into a backpack.”
“Have you ever even been camping?” Mary asked.
Ruby ignored her. “Fine. Do you have a backpack I can borrow?”
Dean grabbed an extra backpack from the garage, and Y/N, Donna, and Ruby spent the next 15 minutes paring down Ruby’s stuff to the bare necessities. It was so full, it barely closed. She managed to get it on her back, and for a second it looked like the weight of it would tip her over, but she managed to stay upright.
“What about this?” Ruby asked, holding up her hairdryer.
You shook your head. “Nowhere to plug it in. This is a shower-in-the-lake, no makeup kind of weekend.”
Ruby sniffed. “I never go anywhere without my makeup.”
“Did you happen to bring bug repellent with that makeup?” Donna asked tartly.
“There are bugs?” Ruby responded with a shudder.
“Here, take mine,” Annie said, rolling her eyes at Ruby’s complete lack of preparation. “I’ll share,”
When they finally hit the road, Donna and Y/N waved as they headed off. “How long do you think she’ll last?” you asked Donna.
“I doubt she’ll make it to bedtime tonight,” Donna said with a snicker.
“Poor Sam,” you remarked, shaking your head.
“Dean has his phone. As long as there is service, he’ll keep us posted.” Donna promised.
The hike to the lake took twice as long because Ruby had to stop every few minutes because her feet hurt so bad. She was getting eaten alive by bugs, despite applying the bug repellant liberally.
“Hey, twin!” She had taken to calling both of them twin since they wouldn’t identify themselves.
“Let me see that,” Sam said, grabbing the tube out of Ruby’s hand. He opened the top and took a whiff, and shot the twins a warning look. “Here, use mine,” he told her, handing her some Off spray.
Ruby looked at the girls suspiciously.
“Hey Uncle Dean, wait up!” one of them called, and they took off before she could say anything.
She turned to Sam. “It wasn’t bug repellent, was it?” She said miserably, already knowing the answer.
“Nope,” Sam responded, not quite meeting her eyes. She muttered something under her breath and soldiered on.
Finally, they made it to the lake and pitched their tents. Ruby was miffed that she wouldn’t be sharing a tent with Sam. Somehow the larger tent had gotten “misplaced” and all they had were single-person tents. Sam finally pitched Ruby’s tent after everyone watched her struggle for several painful minutes.
The girls helped Dean set up the other equipment while Sam helped Ruby. “You two had better watch yourselves. Ruby is a nasty piece of work. I’d be careful if I were you.” Dean warned them.
The girls gave him matching looks of complete innocence. “Us? We aren’t doing anything. She’s a danger to herself here if you ask me.” Mary said with a snort.
“Even so, she’s not going to give up without a fight,” Dean told them as he watched Ruby take off her boots and rub her feet.
“Want to bet on that?”
He held his hands up quickly. “Against you two? I don’t think so. I’d rather get thrown in the lake.”
Everyone went fishing down by the shore, but Ruby refused to touch a worm, so she just sat at the dock and played with her phone. Sam and Dean caught several fishes, and the twins each caught one.
Ruby was irritated that she couldn’t check her email.
“There aren’t any cell towers around here. You won’t get a signal.” Dean tried to tell her, but she just glared at him.
“When can we go back to camp?” she whined.
Sam and Dean looked at each other. ”I think we caught enough. We can go back.” Sam finally agreed, sounding disappointed. It was starting to get dark by the time they made it back to the campsite.
“So what’s for dinner? I’m starving!” Ruby asked as they headed back to camp.
Dean shook his head while the girls just gaped at her, incredulous. Was she serious?
Sam held up the cooler they had brought back. “Fish! What else? We catch our food when we camp, Ruby.”
Ruby made a face. “I don’t eat fish. I guess I’ll just wait for breakfast then. What’s for breakfast?”
“Fish.” Annie and Mary said together.
“Actually I think I’m just going to go to bed. Sam, can you help me set up my air mattress?” Ruby asked.
Ruby’s mattress was so huge it took up most of her tent. “Why did you bring such a big one?” The girls heard Sam ask her.
“I don’t want to feel the ground underneath me, that’s why.”
The girls sat talking and laughing quietly with their Dad and Uncle after Ruby had gone to bed. The fire had died down to embers and the girls were yawning when Ruby came storming out of her tent. ‘Why is it so noisy? I’m trying to sleep!”
Annie snorted. “That’s nature, Ruby! Nature is loud!”
“Well, I can’t sleep with all this noise! I’m just going to take an Ambien and pray I can get my beauty sleep,” she muttered.
Sam looked at the twins, who were grinning. “Not a word out of either of you!” he warned.
The next day Ruby managed to ruin pretty much everything they did with her constant complaining and whining. She was even starting to get on Sam’s nerves. When they went hiking and she tripped, one of the girls grabbed her arm and said, “let me help you.”
Ruby glared at her and pulled her arm away. “I’m sure you’ll help me right off a cliff if you could! You can have your fun now, but just wait! After the wedding, it will be a different story.”
“I was just trying to help, geez,” Mary muttered as she left her and walked off ahead.
Annie and Mary had a meeting that night in Mary’s tent. “We have to do something. I can’t believe she has stuck it out this long. She is the most horrible person I have ever met. You realize our lives will be a nightmare if she marries Dad, right?” Mary said earnestly.
“I have a plan,” Annie said with a diabolical grin. As she whispered her idea, her twins' eyes went wide.
Ruby again took an Ambien and turned in early. The girls had made some “modifications” to Ruby’s tent, and they waited until they were sure Sam and Dean were asleep. She was completely zonked out, snoring softly, eye mask over her eyes.
The twins dragged Ruby’s mattress out of her tent and down the small distance to the water’s edge. They had cleared the path earlier of any rocks and debris so the ride was smooth. With a small ‘sploosh’, they pushed the mattress into the water, and Ruby didn’t even stir as she floated to the center of the lake.
The twins stood together for a moment watching her drift away, then heading to their respective tents for bed.
The entire camp awoke to the sound of Ruby shrieking Sam’s name. Everyone tumbled out of their tents just in time to see Ruby screaming and flailing at a bird that was perched on her mattress. She stood up to get away from it and immediately began to lose her balance.
“Here we go., Dean said grimly.
Ruby hit the water with a tremendous splash that flipped her mattress. “What did you do?” Sam said wearily as he watched Ruby trudge toward the shore. She looked like a drowned rat, her pajamas were drenched, her socks making a squelching noise as she walked.
She marched up to the campsite, kicking items out of the way in her fury. Sam got to her first. “What’s going on?” he asked reasonably.
Ruby blew wet tendrils of hair out of her face. “Here’s what’s going on, buddy! The day we get married is the day I ship those brats off to Switzerland. It’s me or them, take your pick.”
The twins and Dean were standing behind Sam now, eager to hear the exchange. But Sam didn’t even hesitate. “Them,” he replied, and the twins exchanged a surprised look.
“Excuse me?” Ruby said incredulously, her mouth in an ‘O’ of shock.
“I said them. Get the picture?” Sam replied, and he turned away as Ruby screamed furiously and kicked the coffee pot across the campsite and overturned the table. The twins and Dean continued to watch her temper tantrum.
She marched over to the twins. “So, you two share everything now, huh?”
“Yep.” The girls replied.
“Well, you can give your sister her half of this!” Ruby snarled as she slapped Annie hard across the face.
Annie’s eyes filled with tears as she held her cheek. Sam was in between her and Ruby in a heartbeat. “You have exactly ten minutes to get your stuff packed.” He looked over at Dean, who nodded grimly. “Dean will drive you to the nearest ranger station before I strangle you. Goodbye, Ruby.”
She looked like she was going to say something, but she thought better of it. She took the massive diamond Sam had given her off her finger and threw it in Sam’s face before marching away.
“Dad…..” Mary began.
Sam held up a hand. “Start packing up. We are leaving as soon as your uncle gets back.”
Oh my goodness this chapter was so worth the wait! I have reread it a couple times already and it just hits me every time! I cannot wait to see where it goes!
You’ve reread it!! Oh my!! I’m dead. This fic doesn’t get a lot of notes, but it’s feedback like this that makes this series so worth it! Thank you so much!! I’m also excited to see where things go! LOL. To be honest, I have an inkling of how I want this story to turn out, but I’m pretty much winging it as I go! So even I don’t know what will happen. But, shhh. Don’t tell anyone.
A/N: The cowboy boots almost swayed me to pick Dean, but in the end it was Sam. Why?? Because the way you described yourself, all you hobbies, and your love for you family. You put a lot of detail into your submission, and that kind of thought made me instantly think you were a perfect partner for the younger Winchester.
Warnings: Fluff :)
Bamby
You weren’t a hunter per say, but you were in the life. After a pack of werewolves attacked the animals on your grandparents’ farm you had no choice but to become an expert on everything Monster.
That’s how you ended up in one of Rufus’ old cabins, not too far out in the middle of nowhere, but secluded enough to find some peace. You were also close enough to civilisation that you were accessible to hunters via phone and online, which meant you were their go to person when it came to lore. With Bobby gone, there were only a handful of people out there that knew enough to actually be helpful all around, and you were one of those people.
Meeting Sam and Dean was thanks to your knowledge on everything scared, fanged or dangerous. They’d needed help on an unusual case, and you’d had all the answers.
At first, it appeared you would have been drawn to Dean, with his charming grin and love for you cowboy boots. But in the end you only had eyes for Sam, and in turn he only had eyes for you.
So, when you both had weekends free, you found yourselves right here, cuddled up on a soft rug and surrounded by pillows. The fireplace was alive and alight to your left, the TV running a movie neither of you had any intention of watching. There was an array of snacks and treats splayed out for the two of you to indulge in, but in reality all you wanted was each other. All the kisses and caresses in the world wouldn’t make up for lost time.
Pulling back slightly, a gentle smile tugging on his lips, Sam lifted delicate fingers to slide your glasses away from you face.
You crinkled your nose before looking up at him pointedly. “Let me guess… I look beautiful?”
He chuckled, his whole body moving with the sound. “Always.” Reaching up again, he brushed your hair behind your ear. “I moved them so I can do this.”
Leaning in, when his lips connected with yours this time it was in a deep kiss that had you melting against the pillows behind you. Sam followed, moving until he was half hovering over you. He set your glasses down carefully, making sure to put them somewhere safe before bringing his hand back to you, letting it caress all your curves and lines, as if committing them to memory.
“Wish I could stay here,” he mumbled against your lips as if already intoxicated by your touch and taste. “Never leave.”
You sighed as his lips trailed down your jaw to your throat. “Then stay. Every time you leave it breaks my heart.” Your eyes fluttered shut as his hands slipped under your shirt. “Every time I wonder if it’ll be the last time I see you.”
Pulling away slightly, his hand left your shirt to cup your cheek. His thumb ran over your bottom lip as he watched with eyes so full of emotion it was a wonder one person could feel so much without breaking. Then again, Sam had been broken over and over, which strengthened his resilience each time. He was the strongest person you knew, while being the sweetest at the same time. An impossible and incredible character.
“I love you.”
Eyes now wide, they met yours, expressing all his wonder and awe that came with hearing those three words. Three words hunters rarely heard in their lives. Three words Winchesters heard even less.
Then, by some miracle, he smiled at you with pure perfection. “I love you, too.”

A/N/N: The girls' thoughts are in italics
Mary
New York City was like nothing Mary had ever seen before. There were people everywhere, and the sounds and smells of the Big Apple were nothing like California. There was a frenetic vibe here that was completely different from anything on the West Coast.
“So Carlos has been asking me pretty much every day when you were coming home.” you told Mary conversationally. “He’s been pretty mopey since you’ve been gone.”
Carlos. He’s Annie’s friend that lives next door. I got this!
“He just missed having someone to walk to the garage with him,” Mary said lightly, looking to you for your reaction.
You grinned at her. “Well, someone has to make sure he doesn’t eat his Dad’s dinner on the way. He is a growing boy.”
Conversation flowed easily as the two of you sat in the snarl of traffic out of the airport. After what seemed like an eternity, the cab pulled up to a quaint, old building with dark marbled stairs worn smooth from years of feet, and tall narrow windows overlooking the street. Many of those windows held boxes filled with flowers, and Mary was enchanted. It was a scene right out of “West Side Story”, one of her favorite musicals.
She was struggling to drag Annie’s bag up from the curb when she felt a hand grab it. Whirling around in surprise, her eyes met those of a tall muscular boy and she froze for a second.
“ ‘bout time you’re back from wilderness prison!” He said with a smirk. “So I guess you didn’t get eaten by a bear, huh?”
Inside, Mary was panicking. Who is this? I think it’s Carlos., but I’m not 100% sure, so I’ll just play along until he clues me in. He’s cute, like really, really cute. I hope he IS Carlos.
“Yeah, you wish. I’ll try to get eaten by a bear next time,” she replied with Annie’s typical sass. “So, anything exciting happen while I was gone?” she couldn’t seem to stop staring at him.
“Nah, same old same old.” The boy replied with a shrug, still giving no clue to his identity.
As you headed up the front steps, you turned and spoke. “ I know how much you like my beef stew, Carlos. Why don’t you come over for dinner? I made it for Annie’s first dinner back.”
Carlos nodded. “Sure Ms. C. I just gotta let my Ma know.”
He carried the bag to the top of the steps, and Mary grabbed for the handle, accidentally taking his hand in hers. His hand was huge with long callused fingers. She yelped and dropped his hand like it was on fire, hoping that you didn’t notice the awkward moment.
You gestured towards your daughter. “Are you coming, or would you rather fight Carlos for your bag?”
“What? No! I’m right behind you.” Mary insisted.
“See you later, Carlos. Say hi to your Mom for me!” you called over your shoulder.
You were already on your way down the hall. Mary grabbed her bag and ran to catch up. She turned to look back. Carlos was still standing in the doorway staring after her, a confused look on his face.
The text message alert beeped on her phone, and Mary pulled it out of her pocket and scanned it quickly.
Dad has been “seeing someone”. She is coming to dinner tonight. Call to discuss. 11PM your time.
“Oh no!” Mary whispered. This could ruin everything! She quickly sent back a reply.
OK. Talk tonight. We need a plan.
Annie
The car headed up the long driveway and stopped in front of a sprawling split-level house. A large black and white dog came bounding out the door jumping around excitedly and barking. “Juliet, calm down you maniac!” A pretty blond woman said as she emerged from the house.
“Mary! Thank goodness you’re back! Finally another woman around here besides Juliet! I’ve missed you, Kid. Oh my god! Let me see your hair!” She took Annie’s hands, and Annie did an obligatory spin for her before she was pulled in for a hug.
“Hi, Donna! I missed you too!” Annie said as she hugged the housekeeper warmly. Mary had shared how close she was to Donna, and Annie could already tell she was going to like her.
“I LOVE it!” Donna pronounced. “So chic! Who cut it?” She asked as she fingered it.
“One of my bunk-mates,” Annie said offhandedly, not mentioning any names.
“Juliet sure missed you! She pouted in your room the whole time you were gone. Jules! Mary is home!” Donna called to the dog who was chasing something across the yard.
I am Mary. I am Mary. I am Mary.
“Hey, Juliet! Come here, baby!” Annie called, and the dog came running. Before Juliet reached her, she stopped in front of her and looked at Annie warily.
“Jules, it’s Mary! What is wrong with you?” Sam asked as he joined them.
Oh, crap! The dog knows I’m not Mary!
Annie ran to Juliet, fell to her knees, and hugged her. “I missed you so much! Do I smell like the woods?” She kissed Juliet’s head, and the dog licked her face once and trotted off. There was an awkward silence.
“That was weird.” Uncle Dean finally said after a moment. “Got anything to eat, Donna? I’m starving!”
“What else is new?” Donna grumbled. “I can make some sandwiches.” Come help me, Mary. I want to hear all about camp!” Donna held out her hand, and Annie grabbed it and headed toward the house.
“We’ll be up as soon as we get the bags from the car,” Sam told Donna and he and Dean headed back toward Dean’s car.
“So Dad’s been seeing someone? What’s up with that? Who is she?” Annie asked, looking behind her to see if Sam and Dean were coming.
“Don’t even get me started on her,” Donna said with a toss of her shoulder as she opened the refrigerator and grabbed sandwich fixings and put them on the counter.
“Come on Donna….spill it!” Annie whispered eagerly.
Donna sighed, seemingly wrestling with herself. “Okay, fine. He met her at some charity thing. Her name is Ruby. She is pretty, yeah, but she is so not his type! I know a gold digger when I see one. But your Dad’s been so lonely and he looks at her like she hung the moon.”
“Shhhh...Here they come!” Annie hissed.
“I hate airport food!” Dean exclaimed as he entered the kitchen, and Annie and Donna quickly separated. Annie tried not to look guilty.
“Well don’t eat too much, because I’m making a special dinner tonight.“ Donna reminded him, not looking happy about it.
Annie turned to Sam as he entered behind Dean. “So Dad? Who’s coming to dinner tonight?”
“And I’m outta here!” Dean said quickly, grabbing his plate and bolting from the kitchen.
“Coward!” Donna called after him. “I’m gonna give you two some privacy, I think.” She said as she gave Sam a telling look. “We’ll catch up later, okay, Mary?”
Annie nodded as she waited for her father to speak. He took a deep breath. “Mary, honey, you have been my whole world for as long as I can remember. But as fun, as that’s been, I’ve missed being with someone.”
I’ll try playing dumb, see where that gets me. Annie thought.
“But Daddy, you have lots of friends! And you always have Uncle Dean.” Annie said earnestly.
Sam frowned slightly. “I know, Mary. That’s not what I mean. I miss being with someone, romantically.”
Annie smiled sweetly. “But you were involved with someone romantically. My mother. But you never talk about her, do you?”
“Now Mary….” Sam began.
Annie stood up abruptly. “I’m gone two weeks, and you suddenly have a girlfriend? What’s next, we’re moving to Alaska? I can’t believe this, are you TRYING to ruin my life, Dad?” Throwing her plate in the sink, she started to yell to throw Sam off his game. “I bet you planned this whole camp thing to get me out of the way so you could shack up with your GIRLFRIEND while I was out of the way, didn’t you? DIDN’T YOU?”
Sam looked utterly gobsmacked. He had no idea what was happening. One minute they were having a normal conversation, and now Mary was screaming. What the hell was going on?
The next thing he knew, he was in the kitchen by himself, and he could hear Mary stomping up the stairs to her room. “I HATE YOU!” He heard her yelling.
Dean returned now that the coast was clear. “She seems thrilled about Ruby.” He deadpanned to his brother.
“I haven’t even told her yet,” Sam said quietly.
“What now?” Dean asked. “Then what was all the screaming about?”
“I don’t know, I really don’t. One minute I’m telling her I miss being with someone, then she brings up Y/N, then she’s screaming and stomping away.” Sam looked worried.
Dean sat down across from Sam, looking thoughtful for a moment. “She brought up Y/N? What did she say exactly?”
“Something about how I never talk about her, and then she accused me of sending her to camp to get her out of the way so I could “shack up” with Ruby. She’s never yelled at me like that before.” He scrubbed a hand over his face. “She sounded just like her.”
“Like who?” Dean asked, confused.
“Like Y/N,” Sam said sadly, memories washing over him.
“Better get used to it, man. She’s a teenager. Are you sure this dinner tonight is a good idea?” Dean questioned. “Maybe give her a day or two to simmer down.”
Sam shook his head. “I promised Ruby. We want to tell her tonight.”
Dean looked shocked. “Her first night home? Are you sure? Especially after this? She’s your daughter Sam, but if I were you, I would tell Ruby to slow down a little. If she wants you, Mary is part of the package too.”
“I hear what you're saying, but I want Mary to meet the woman I love, the sooner the better. She and Ruby will get along great, I know it.” Sam said stubbornly. Ruby had him under her spell, and Dean saw it, even if Sam couldn’t.
“It’s your funeral, dude,” Dean said finally. “ Maybe you should take Ruby and Mary out tonight? Someplace that’s neutral territory? Then they will both be on their best behavior, and me and Donna don’t have to be there.”

Mary
“Are you sure you can do this?” Mary asked doubtfully as Annie pulled a pair of scissors from her suitcase.
“Piece of cake!” Annie replied confidently. “Just have a little faith, okay?” Looking at herself critically in the mirror, she began to snip away at Mary’s long hair.
Mary shut her eyes tightly and prayed she wouldn’t end up bald. Her Dad loved her hair, and when she finally did go home she knew he was going to have a fit. Sorry, Daddy, she thought to herself as her head felt lighter and lighter.
“There!” Annie said with a flourish. “Open your eyes, for Pete’s sake!”
When Mary looked at her reflection in the mirror, her mouth dropped open in surprise. “Oh my gosh! I look just like…”
“Me!” Her twin finished. “I know, right?” She leaned her head in next to Mary’s. “They will never be able to tell us apart now.”
Annie
“Where do I go to school?” Annie asked after thinking for a moment.
“Washington Junior High,” Mary answered promptly, responding with a question of her own. “What does Uncle Dean call his car?”
Annie paused. “His Baby?” She asked tentatively.
“Are you asking me or telling me?” Mary questioned.
Biting back the bitchy remark she really wanted to say, Annie replied, “Telling you, oh great and mighty quiz mistress.”
Mary sighed and crossed her arms, looking so much like their mom when she was mad it was comical. “This is serious! We don’t have to just look like each other. We have to be each other for this to work. You get that, right?”
“Yeah, I get it! I know what’s at stake here!” Annie grumbled. So what are my neighbors' names?”
“The Espositos on the right, Mrs. Dunner on the left, and the Jacobson's across the hall!” Mary grinned triumphantly. “What’s my best friend’s name?”
“Abby. No, wait! Ashley? Aubrey?” Annie had never been good at memorizing things.
“NO! It’s Ivy! How’s it going to look when I come home from camp and I don’t know my best friends name? You have to get this stuff or you aren’t going to last a day!” Mary ran her hands through her now-short hair in frustration.
“Look, I’m trying! I don’t have a photographic memory like you! I’m doing the best I can, so stop yelling at me!” Annie demanded as she jumped off her bunk and began to pace.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” Mary asked quietly. “We go home tomorrow. It’s not too late to back out. We can think of something else.”
“No way. We are doing this. Now shut up and ask me another question.” Annie said determinedly.
“Did you really need all this stuff?” Annie hissed as she tried to maneuver Mary’s bags out the door.
As the twins exited their cabin and headed to say goodbye to their friends, they ran into Mrs. Rinaldi. “Well, girls. I hope you enjoyed camp. I’m glad you were able to work out your differences. I like your hair, Mary.”
“Thanks. Camp was fun.” Annie responded. Mary just nodded in agreement, and Mrs. Rinaldi moved on.
Annie had an earlier flight than Mary, so she was in the first van to the airport. They started to load up, and she turned to her sister. “Well, this is it, I guess.”
“Yeah, I guess.” Mary echoed and launched herself into Annie’s arms. “I’m so happy we found each other.” She whispered in her sister’s ear, hugging her tightly.
Annie returned the hug. “Me too. You have my number. Text me with updates. Operation Double Trouble starts now.” She said with a grin.
Mary
Mary watched Annie’s van pull away, and felt a strange emptiness, like part of her, was missing. She had never felt this way before. Since she had some time to kill, she decided to go and talk to some of Annie’s bunkmates from Evergreen Cabin. She wanted to see if her “Annie” could fool them and if she needed to tweak it at all.
Mary spent the next two hours talking to Annie’s friends and they had no idea whatsoever that she wasn’t Annie. This is going to be so easy. She thought smugly. When it was time, she loaded her stuff into the van, said goodbye to her “friends”, and was soon on her way to the airport.
The flight from Michigan to La Guardia was boring, but Mary just couldn’t let herself relax. At the end of this, she was going to get to meet her mother…..finally! But as far as she was concerned, it had only been two weeks since she’d last seen her.
As the plane taxied to the gate, she began to panic. She pulled out her phone, and there was a text from Annie, code-named “Amanda” in case anyone saw her phone. But she was supposed to delete the texts as soon as she read them, just to be safe.
It said simply, You got this! She grinned as she deleted the text. “Darn right, I do.” She told herself.
Mary would have recognized you anywhere. You were standing at the edge of the crowd of people, and your face broke out in an excited grin as soon as you saw her. You ran forward, enveloping her into a hug, and Mary held tightly for a moment, reveling in your embrace. You smelled like honeysuckle.
“I sure missed you, Annie! I know it’s only been two weeks, but I swear you got taller! How is that even possible? So, did you have fun?”
“Yeah, I did, but I’m really happy to be home with you,” Mary told her mother with a smile.
“How was the food? Still awful?” you asked, wrinkling your nose.
“You have no idea.”
“I made your favorite for dinner to welcome you home,” you told Mary as the two of you headed towards the baggage claim area.
“Beef stew, yay!” Mary said brightly, trying to summon up some enthusiasm. The fact that she had been a vegetarian for the past year was going to be a bit of a problem. Annie told her to just not eat the meat and if you asked to make up a story about one of your bunkmates being a vegan and really rubbing off on you.
Annie
I am Mary, I am Mary, I am Mary.
Annie kept telling herself this over and over during the flight from Michigan to San Diego. Her nerves were wound so tight she felt like she was going to explode. Something told her that Mary would need some encouragement, so she sent her a quick text using her “Amanda” alias. She got a smiley-face back in return. Mary was “Megan” in her phone to throw off suspicion.
In a few minutes, she would get off the plane as Mary Winchester, and “Operation Double Trouble” would be in motion. They hadn’t really discussed how long they were going to let this go before revealing their true identities, but they had the rest of the summer to figure that out.
Annie paused on the jetway and looked back at the plane. There was no turning back. She took a deep breath, threw her carryon over her shoulder, and marched out the door into the airport. There were a lot of people waiting, and she didn’t see anyone, so she stopped and scanned the crowd.
“Mary? Holy crap, what did you do to your hair?” A deep voice said behind Annie, and she whirled around. A tall man was standing behind her with a playful grin on his face.
“Hey, Uncle Dean! I cut it, do you like it?” Holy crap, Uncle Dean was hot! Mary didn’t say our uncle was practically a male model!
He pulled you into a hug. ‘I can actually see your face now, it looks good.”
“Where is Dad? Didn’t he come?” Annie tried to keep the disappointment from her voice.
“And miss his baby girl’s arrival? Are you kidding? He’s in the bathroom. He’s gonna be so mad that I got to see you first. So, did you like camp? Juliet has been pouting since you left.”
Juliet….Juliet….Oh yeah, the dog. “I can’t wait to see my baby, I’ve missed her so much!” Annie tried her best to sound convincing. In fact, she was a little nervous about meeting the dog. Mary had assured her Juliet was a big teddy bear, but big dogs made her nervous.
“Mary, baby, you’re home!” An even taller man came sprinting up to her and Dean, and Annie’s mouth dropped slightly. None of her friends' dads looked like him. Whoa!
“Hi, Daddy!” She said in her best Mary-ish voice and he enveloped her in a hug. He was huge.
“You cut your hair, I see.” He said, fingering the short strands.
“Yep, my bunkmate Amanda cut it. I really like it this way.” Annie said defiantly, waiting to see how he would respond.
“Well, if you like it, then I do too,” Sam told her. “Let’s go get your bags and head home.”
They headed out to the parking garage, both of them peppering her with questions about camp. They stopped at a gorgeous black classic car, and Annie ran her hand over its shiny bumper. She was a total gear-head. Her neighbor Mr. Esposito worked in a garage, and sometimes she and her friend Carlos, his son, would go visit him at the shop when he was working late to bring him dinner.
She looked up, and Uncle Dean was giving her an odd look. “Don’t tell me you missed my Baby while you were gone?” He said with a smirk.
“I missed everything, Uncle Dean! Even you!”
The drive home was breathtaking. The city soon gave way to rolling hills, beaches and ocean. California was breathtaking. Uncle Dean was really funny and made Annie laugh.
“So what did you do while I was gone, Dad? Anything exciting?” Annie asked Sam.
Sam and Dean exchanged a look. “Actually, honey, I wanted to talk to you about that,” Sam told Annie. “I’ve been seeing someone, and I spent some time with her while you were gone. I’d like you to meet her. She’s going to join us for dinner tonight.”
She looked at him in horror. “Seeing her? Like a girlfriend?”
Before Sam could answer, his phone rang. It was his office calling, and he started talking in legal-ese and Annie tuned out. Unzipping her backpack, she slid her hands inside and grabbed her phone. She quickly sent Mary a text.
Dad has been “seeing someone”. She is coming to dinner tonight. I will call to discuss. 1 a.m. NY time. set your alarm!
