Heads turned, mostly staring at Jack, but he simply smiled back at them. The party was full of all sorts as the moved around and mingled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou some kind of fairy?\u201d one guy, obviously a bit drunk, growled at Jack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I\u2019m a princess,\u201d answered Jack, touching his tiara. \u201cI\u2019m not the one with wings. Though\u2026\u201d he leaned a little closer. \u201cI bet I could make you see stars.\u201d He winked.<\/p>\n<p>The guy looked about to take a swing for a moment, but then Castiel was stepping between the two of them. Apparently a ticked off angel had a glare to make almost anyone back down, because the drunk guy muttered something and stumbled off.<\/p>\n<p>Castiel turned to Jack. \u201cI do believe the object of interest is in the attic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re my object of interest,\u201d grinned Jack. Castiel gave him a look. \u201cI know, I know. Job. Lead on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Jack gathered his skirts, Castiel led the way up a back staircase. They crept through the second floor and to another narrow staircase. There was a terrific sound and they both rushed, Jack nearly tripping, only to find two people already there.<\/p>\n<p>Sam and Dean weren\u2019t making any effort at costume, but they turned in unison at the sound of Castiel and Jack. Dean blinked and stared at the two. Sam took one look and then doubled over with laughter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThought you two were three states over,\u201d said Jack, smoothing his dress again and making sure he hadn\u2019t ripped anything.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah well, clearly we\u2019re not,\u201d growled Dean.<\/p>\n<p>Grinning, Jack moved towards Dean. \u201cWell, since you\u2019ve saved the day, here\u2019s your princess.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dean held up his flashlight like it was a weapon. \u201cNot one step closer, Harkness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without missing a beat, Jack stepped to Sam, who was wiping his eyes, and swept him into short waltz, ignoring the daggers Dean was glaring at his back. When they finished Sam gave Jack a short bow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s still a party downstairs,\u201d said Jack. \u201cI think we should all celebrate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They headed back down. A fast song was playing and Jack pulled Castiel close, feet remembering steps and leading his angel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Captain Jack Harkness adjusted his tiara and smoothed his pink satin dress. \u201cReady, Prince Charming?\u201d he turned and smiled at Castiel.
