A Human Experience
Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the, characters from Supernatural as they belong to Eric Kripe & MC G but I do own Melissa Hale whose my own creation from Charmed.
Authors Note: This stories set after “The Last Seal Broken” wherein Castiel the angel gets the opportunity to become human for a day & experience something they can experience of his choice. Here in that he goes to Melissa Hale & asks her to allow him to experience real intimacy with a woman which he’s never done before. Agreeing to the offer Melissa takes Castiel out on a date then completes the transaction later on.
Extra Notes: In this story Melissa’s recently acquired empathy to use it on Piper to see what was wrong with her after her father left & became an Elder but because she was cursed with it once before the Elders died the power down so that she could only read people who’re in close proximity to her at the moment.
Heavens Above Monday 15th September
Brennan head of the messengers of god looks down upon a large pool of water situated below showing the individual aspects of the world events going on. Another angel enters the room & bows down to Brennan.
Angel: Castiel’s here Brennan.
Brennan: Show him in.
The angel bows down to Brennan again.
Angel: Yes sir.
He goes out & bays Castiel enter the room which he does. He goes over to Brennan & bows forward in front of him.
Castiel: Brennan.
Brennan: Thank you for coming Castiel
Castiel: Yes sir. What is it you want to see me about? Has god given me another assignment?
Brennan: No you’ve been given an opportunity.
Castiel looks at Brennan questionably.
Castiel: (Questionably) Opportunity?
Brennan: To become human for a day & experience something they can experience. All angels get the chance to do this in their lifetime for services to god.
Castiel: What experience will I get?
Brennan: That is up to Castiel but you must choose wisely as you’ll only be able to experience this once.
Castiel: Right.
Brennan: Go now & think about it. When you have done that come back & then tell me.
Castiel: Yes sir.
He bows down to Brennan then leaves the room.
San Francisco Memorial Emergency Room A Few Days Later.
Melissa Hale covering here all week with her lab coat on & her light ginger hair tied up in a ponytail walks down the corridor with a medical chart in her hand which she finishes writing off then places it in the patient finishing tray. Looking up she sees Castiel standing in front of her.
Castiel: Hello Melissa.
Melissa: Castiel hey whaddya you doing here?
She feels apprehension & hesitancy from him via her newly acquired empathic power.
Melissa: (Thinking to herself) Whoa! He’s apprehensive & unsure.
Castiel: I was wondering if I could talk to you for a second. Is there a chance we can do that now?
Melissa: Well I am on my rounds but I suppose we can speak for a few minutes in one of the exam room’s.
Castiel: Thank you.
Turning round they walk up the corridor & go into one of the free exam room’s with no patients there.
Exam Room
Coming inside Melissa closes the door then turns round & talks to Castiel.
Melissa: Okay what is it you want to talk to me about?
Castiel: I was wondering if you could help me out.
Melissa: Help you out with what?
Castiel: I have been given the opportunity by the heavens above to become human for a day & experience something that they can experience.
Melissa: Opportunity? To, become human?
Castiel: Yes all angels who’ve serve god loyally have the opportunity to do this once in their lifetime.
Melissa: So what you’re human now?
Castiel: No I’m still angelic. I only become human when I have the experience.
Melissa: & what’s this have to do with me then?
She feels his awkwardness as he tells her what he wants.
Castiel: (Awkward) I’ve never experienced human intimacy Melissa & I’d like to do that.
Melissa: What you’ve never been kissed or kissed anyone before?
Castiel: No I’ve never experienced real human intimacy before.
Hearing what Castiel’s suggesting Melissa appears shocked.
Melissa: (Shocked) Wait you want me to sleep with you?
Castiel: There’d be no repercussions & the whole thing would be totally sin free.
Not believing what’s been said Melissa walks around the room.
Melissa: Are you crazy? You don’t just sleep with someone because they ask you too especially if you don’t like them intimately or if there a virgin. & secondly I’m newly empathic & just trying to get a handle on this new power which’s hard as I’ve no control over my actions at the moment & until then I ain’t doing it with anyone pal.
Castiel: Yes I mayn’t be the type of person you’d go for exactly Melissa but throughout the whole experience you’d be in total control & would be able to stop it anytime you like & secondly I don’t feel anything like that toward you so you wouldn’t read that of me. All you are is a means to an end.
Melissa: & you truly want this & not something else?
Doing it himself now, Castiel walks about the room.
Castiel: I’ve seen many people fall in love Melissa & get married & have kids & really show what it feels like to be in love I’ve always wondered what that feels like to have the experience to feel that?
Melissa: So why come to me then & not someone else?
Castiel: Because you’re a loving person & the fact I didn’t wanna do it with a total stranger.
Melissa: Well I ain’t sleeping with you until we’ve gone out on a date.
Castiel: A date?
Melissa: Yes I don’t screw guys whom I don’t know first & it makes it less awkward afterwards.
Castiel: Okay then when would like to do this date?
Melissa: I don’t know Saturday. I’ll have to, think about it won’t I.
Castiel: Okay when you’ve thought about it let me know & I’ll come back then.
Melissa: Yes please do that thank you.
Castiel: I’ll see you soon Melissa.
Castiel turns round & opens up the door then walks outta it. Not believing what’s she’s just done Melissa sits on a hospital bed.
Melissa: Oh my god what have I just done?
Michigan Hotel
Sam Winchester sitting in front of his laptop researching something on the net about him & Deans latest hunt doesn’t notice Castiel appear in, in front of him. Seeing him Sam jumps a little.
Sam: Jesus Christ Castiel don’t you knock?
Castiel: I’m an angel Sam we don’t knock.
Sam: Well it wouldn’t kill you to do that once in a while you know. You could’ve been a demon.
Castiel: I’m not human Sam so it wouldn’t kill me would it?
Sam: What? Err never mind. Whaddya what? If it’s Dean he’s not here. He’s at getting a burger at Mc Chucky’s.
Castiel: No it’s not Dean I want Sam it’s you.
A little surprised at that Sam answers.
Sam: (Surprised) Me? Why do you want me?
Castiel: I need some advice.
Hearing this Sam laughs out a little.
Sam: (Laughing) Some advice from me?
Castiel: Yes Sam you’re a man who’s dealt with women before & so are a good choice to ask advice on that.
Sam: (Shocked) What?
Castiel sits down next to Sam & tells him what he wants to do. To say the least Sam’s shocked but not as shocked as whom it’s going to be with.
Sam: (Shocked) Melissa? You wanna sleep with Melissa?
Castiel: I know this disturbs you greatly Sam because you & she were together a long time ago.
Sam: To right it does.
Castiel: But you are the best person alive who knows her intimately & how I should behave around her & what she likes.
Sam: & she agreed to do this without going out on a date with you first?
Castiel: No we are goanna do that Saturday it’s just I’ve never been out on a date before much less sleep with someone I don’t really know & I just want help on that.
Bringing his right hand up Sam smoothes, it a little through his shaggy dog hair.
Sam: God well if you wanna know about Mel she’s very easy to talk to but hates people whom aren’t themselves.
Castiel: Right.
Sam: & as it’s a first date she’ll take you somewhere easy & familiar to her like a restaurant say Quake or Grenadines or Vic’s jazz club on Fulton Street.
Castiel: Okay.
Sam: She likes moonlit beach walks, dancing & music & will listen to you if you talk to her. Oh & if you do go Vic’s Mel may sing there which she’s done so before or she mayn’t don’t know.
Castiel: Gotcha.
Sam: But if Mel does she’s got a really good voice & so won’t be outta tune.
Castiel: Yes I know & her music teaching background helps also.
Sam: Yep.
Castiel: Is there anything else I should know?
Sam: 2 things. 1 don’t over dress yourself keep it short & simple suit & coat & she likes roses red ones so get them also & give them to her.
Castiel: Alright. Well thank you for the advice Sam it’s much appreciated.
Sam: Yeah well I can’t believe I even said it to you.
Understanding Sam’s reluctance Castiel puts his right hand on Sam’s left shoulder as support.
Castiel: Do not worry Sam I won’t hurt her I promise you.
Sam: Yeah well I’d kill you if you did even though you are an angel.
Castiel: Yes of course.
With that he soon disappears.
Melissa’s Bedroom Saturday 20th September
Melissa’s there with Chris & Piper finishing off putting on what jewellery she’s wearing tonight.
Piper: I can’t believe your doing this Mel.
Chris: I second that.
Reading their & shock & horror Melissa turns round.
Melissa: Okay look I know you’re both shocked & horrified but I don’t need to feel that to thank you. I’m nervous at it is.
Piper: Sorry sweetie it’s just I don’t know why you’re doing this its so degrading sleeping with someone you don’t like physically because they ask you to.
Melissa: Yeah but I’m not just sleeping with him am I we’re going out on a date first so it makes things easier later.
Chris: Yes but why do you have to do this?
Melissa: Because he helped us out with Lilith Chris & healed me along with the other angels those closing the gate of hell so this’s me owing him a favour. & he said there’d be no consequences or repercussions & that I’d be in total control the whole time.
Piper: How very angelic of him.
Going over to her antique pine dressing table Melissa looks in the mirror & applies natural beige lipstick on.
Piper: So what shoes are you wearing?
Melissa: I don’t know something nice & simple.
Chris: & what about your empathy? You can barely control that much less be in a room with loads of people.
Melissa: Well I’ll sit in the corner away from them & I wouldn’t be able to feel everyone’s emotions unless they’re in close proximity to me.
Chris: Fine. So is he meeting you wherever it is you going to?
Melissa: Nope I’m taking him there in my car. I told him to meet me here about 7.00.
Hearing the doorbell go downstairs through her opened bedroom door Melissa gets up.
Melissa: That’s probably him. I’ll just get my stuff & then be down in a sec.
Piper: Okay.
She & Chris get up of Melissa’s bed & leave the room. Melissa finds her boots she’s goanna wear then slips them on & grabs her coat & bag & walks out the room.
Hallway
Coming downstairs she goes over to the front door & opens it seeing Castiel standing there in his ordinary clothes with a bunch of roses in his hand.
Melissa: Castiel hey come on in.
Castiel: Thank you Melissa.
He does so & she closes the front door. Castiel sees what she’s wearing & comments on her.
Castiel: You look very nice tonight.
Looking at him Melissa answers.
Melissa: Thank you I didn’t wanna wear anything too elaborate & this’s not a real date. & you’re wearing the same clothes?
Castiel: Yes I thought they’d be appropriate enough. I had some advice on it anyway.
Melissa: Oh right. So you’re fully human then?
Castiel: For now yes.
He hands out the red roses to her.
Castiel: I hope you don’t mind me getting you these?
Melissa takes the roses & looks at them.
Melissa: No there fine thank you.
Then up at him.
Melissa: How did you know about them?
Castiel: I had advice on that also.
Melissa nods her head.
Melissa: (Nodding head) Oh okay.
Castiel: So what’s our destination for the evening then?
Melissa: I thought we’d go Vic’s jazz club which’s a good place I’ve been before & the foods good also.
Castiel: Very well if that’s your wish I will go wherever you want.
Melissa: Okay I’ll just put these in water & come back then.
Castiel: Alright.
Melissa goes off & does that then returns soon afterwards.
Melissa: Let’s go then.
Opening up the door Castiel bids Melissa out first then closes the door behind them.
Vic’s Jazz Club
Sitting at a table in the corner of the room Castiel & Melissa talk.
Castiel: Before things go any further I’d to thank you Melissa.
Feeling the sincerity in his words Melissa speaks.
Melissa: Even though this feels weird your welcome.
Castiel: You didn’t have to do it though.
Melissa: No but you did help save me from Lilith so I suppose I owe your in return.
Castiel smiles at her.
Castiel: (Smiling) I’m glad I was of some assistance then.
Melissa rubs her forehead together a little when she feels Castiel’s awkwardness.
Castiel: Are you okay Melissa?
Melissa: Yes. I just feel your awkwardness that’s all.
Castiel: Oh we can go if you want if it’s causing you pain.
Melissa shakes her head.
Melissa: (Shaking her head) No that’s okay it’s understandable. You’ve never been out on a date before so you’re bound to feel this way. It’s lucky your emotions are the only one’s I’m feeling here.
Castiel: But you obviously got the power for a reason.
Melissa: To help know what my mom was feeling after my dad took her ability to feel pain away but I don’t like when it’s like this & I can’t control what I feel especially with Chris.
Castiel: Chris?
Melissa: Our new white lighter from the future. There’s something about him I know it but I just can’t grasp it.
Castiel: What sorter feelings?
Melissa: I’m not sure I feel apprehension from him & guilt like he’s hiding something but then also warmth & love more so around me than mom & Aunt Paige. But he doesn’t like dad though.
Castiel: Why not?
Melissa: I don’t know. I just feel anger from him that’s all.
Castiel: Maybe he knew Leo in the future & he did something to Chris which he doesn’t like. Have you talked to him about that?
Melissa: Yes but he just tells me to leave it alone so I don’t bother anymore & then there’s my dream.
Castiel: Dream?
Melissa: The one I’ve been having on/off ever since Chris came back. I’m sure if it is a dream or a premonition but I see 2 women running away from a run down area by something which’s chasing them then they turn around & get hit by 2 energy balls & die. I don’t see the person who did it but I can feel the evil inside them & it terrifies me.
Castiel: Do your family know this?
Melissa: No I haven’t told them as they’ve got trying to find out who’s after Wyatt to deal with.
She takes a sip from her straw in her Vodka martini then puts the glass down on the table.
Melisa: Hey I’m sorry about the non dinner set out.
Castiel: That’s okay I don’t mind the wedges we’ve got. Like I said you’re in total control tonight so.
Melissa: Thank you for that Castiel.
Castiel: Well you’re performing a service for me so it’s only fair. Besides from the way you look I didn’t think you’d wanna go big.
Melissa: Not really no.
Castiel: Is it your dad? I heard he become an Elder recently.
Melissa: Yeah. I mean me & Wyatt, see him but not like we, used to when he came home every night to mom. She wasn’t goanna let us see him before but I managed to convince her otherwise especially with Wyatt & how it would affect him not having dad around.
Castiel: That’s good despite what’s happening.
He takes a potato wedge & dips it into the barbecue sauce & eats it.
Melissa: Yeah but I just can’t get over the fact that there never goanna be together like they used to. I mean mom & dad loved each other so much & overcame so many obstacles & then had Wyatt & we were a proper family but now dads gone & moms going out on dates it just feels like it did when she went out with Dan all those years ago.
Castiel: Parental separation is never easy Melissa but it happens & we have to accept whether we like it or not.
Melissa: (Smiling) Is that what god instructs you to tell people?
Castiel: In certain ways yes.
Melissa: I’ve been meaning to go back to church but with this new power I was worried what might happen there. I mean last time I went I tongued Father Reynolds down the throat in front of the entire concretion which was so embarrassing.
Castiel: God understands how much you still believe & prey in him Melissa in your own way.
Melissa: Yeah well since mom & dad an all I’ve been preying a lot more than usual.
Castiel: Well it doesn’t matter how much or how hard you prey Melissa god still hears you.
Melissa: That’s comforting, to know yes.
The jazz band playing on stage start up their instruments again as the club’s special guest for the evening Katie Melua launches into the song “When You Taught Me How To Dance” from the film “Miss Potter”. Looking at Castiel Melissa speaks.
Melissa: Would like to dance? It’s a great way to be physical with someone without actually, do it with them. It’ll make things a lot easier later on.
Castiel: I don’t know how to dance.
Melissa: Then I’ll show you.
She extends her hand & Castiel takes it. Getting up she instructs him what to do.
Melissa: Okay put you right hand around my waist then extend your left hand out & hold my right hand with it.
Castiel does what she says as Melissa puts her left hand around Castiel’s waist & holds her right hand with his left one.
Melissa: Next when I put my left foot forward you put your right one back.
Castiel: Okay.
They both do that.
Melissa: Good now move your left foot to the side off your right foot & then connect your right foot with that. I’ll do the same with right & left foot.
Castiel: Alright.
The two of them both engage that.
Melissa: Okay now we do things in reserve. You take the lead & put your left leg forward & I’ll put my right foot back. Then we connect our right & left feet together like we did before.
Castiel: Okay.
The angel & the witch do that.
Melissa: & that’s called a waltz. Tricky parts doing that & circling around the room also.
Castiel: & how do we do that?
Melissa: Take my hands like you just did.
Castiel does that.
Melissa: Then do the steps we just did but turn around slowly also.
Castiel does that as Melissa turns him slowly around the area there in whilst the songs been played out in the room.
When you taught me how to dance years ago, with misty eyes,
Every step and silent glance, every move, a sweet surprise.
Someone must have taught you well, to beguile and to entrance,
For that night you cast your spell, & you taught me how to dance.
Like reflections in a lake I recall what went before.
As I give, I’ll learn to take, & will be alone no more
Other lights may light my way I may even find romance;
But I won’t forget that night when you taught me how to dance
Cold winds blow, but up on those hills you’ll find me & I know you’re walking right behind me,
When you taught me how to dance years ago, with misty eyes,
Every step and silent glance, every move, a sweet surprise.
Someone must have taught you well, to beguile and to entrance,
For that night you cast your spell, & you taught me how to dance. & you taught me how to dance.
As the song finishes Melissa & Castiel part & the crowd cheer Katie’s performance.
Halliwell Front Exterior
Castiel & Melissa walk up this after getting outta her green Jeep
Liberty at the bottom of the driveway. Coming up to the front door
Melissa gets her keys out from her handbag & turns the lock in the
door then opens it up with the handle.
Melissa: Come on in.
Castiel: Thanks.
Walking inside the house Melissa closes & locks the door quietly
behind them. Going into the hallway not seeing anyone about she,
looks upstairs.
Hallway
Melissa: There probably all upstairs asleep so we better be quiet.
Castiel: Okay.
Turning around Melissa looks at Castiel.
Castiel: So what do we do now?
Melissa: We may as well go upstairs. But any feelings you have
keep them in check.
Castiel: Right.
They walk upstairs & go down the landing quietly towards Melissa’s
room.
Melissa’s Room
Coming in Melissa closes the door quietly behind them then goes
over to her antique dressing table & sits down.
Castiel: Is there anything you want me to do.
Turning round clutching her hand to her right ear where her earring
is Melissa talks to Castiel.
Melissa: No just stand there for a minute or look around.
Castiel: Alright.
Turning back she takes her jewellery of & places it back in her
jewellery box. Looking about Castiel sees lots of things littered
around the room & goes over to them. He sees a high bookself with
lots of Old music in it & DVD’S.
Castiel: You have a lot of music & DVD’S here.
Turning round taking of her left half way up black boot she smiles a
little.
Melissa: (Smiling) Oh yeah that’s my prize winning collection. It’s
mainly old music & DVD’S which I like but I do have new stuff also.
Castiel: & you alphabeticalise them?
Getting off the dressing table she comes up to him.
Melissa: By music yep.
Outstretching her right hand she shows Castiel what she’s done.
Melissa: I go by artist if I have a lot of a person’s albums or by
genre if I only have one same with my DVD’S. Musicals, action flicks,
romance & period dramas. Makes, it easier to get when I want
them.
Castiel: Ingenious idea.
Melissa: Yep but It took me long enough to do it although I do have
a lot though.
Moving on Castiel come up over to her beside table which has some
period books on it. He picks one up & looks at it.
Castiel: Pride & Prejudice?
Melissa: It’s about this rich guy who meets someone inferior to him
& falls in love. She’s prejudicial to him in the book but then the way
he acts around her at the start kinder justifies that. They fall in love
& marry in the end after she finds, out who he really is which’s
different to what she saw in earlier.
Castiel: So you like historical books then?
Melissa: I like anything old books, music, DVDS, furniture which I
have & cars to. Dean’s impala great & Buick’s also & I was good at
history in school so that’s another reason why I like old stuff.
Castiel: Oh right.
Gripping the clip her hair she removes it allowing her long ginger
light hair to flow down her back. Looking at her from behind Castiel
feels uneasy. Melissa reads this.
Melissa: You feel unsure like you don’t wanna do this now.
She turns round to him.
Castiel: (Unsure) I don’t know if I want to. After talking to you it
feels wrong to defile you like this.
Melissa: Hey I agreed to it to also & actually talking to you makes it
feel a lot easier.
Castiel: But I don’t want to hurt you I promised Sam I wouldn’t.
Hearing Melissa looks surprised a little.
Melissa: (Surprised) Sam? So that’s who you got your advice from.
Castiel: Well he is the best person who’s known you intimately & so
was a good choice to ask that.
Melissa: Right.
Castiel: If you don’t want to do this please say so now & I’ll leave
right away.
Melissa: Well we’ve already been on the date so we can’t back out
now.
Castiel: (Unsure, hesitant) Yes but I’m not really sure what to do
though.
Melissa comes up close to him.
Melissa: That’s okay just close your eyes.
Castiel does so. Melissa closing her eyes to tilts her head sideways
left & kisses him softly on the lips. Castiel feeling this responds back
& puts his hands on Melissa’s shoulders for support. Time lapse
later Castiel & Melissa are lying in bed close to one another.
Melissa: So how’re you feeling?
Looking at Melissa Castiel answers her.
Castiel: Fine. Thank you Melissa for letting me experience what true
love feels like.
Melissa: Your welcome I think.
Castiel: I’ll be outta here by the morning don’t worry. & I won’t tell
anyone what transpired here.
Melissa: Thank you.
Castiel: That’s quite alright.
Melissa: You know now this’s happened I won’t be able to look at
you quite in the same way again.
Castiel: Neither will, I but I can defiantly say this’s an experience I’ll
never forget.
The 2 of them laughing out look up & stare at the ceiling. The
camera holds on them then fades to black.
The End.

San Francisco Memorial Emergency Room A Few Days Later.
Melissa Hale covering here all week with her lab coat on & her light ginger hair tied up in a ponytail walks down the corridor with a medical chart in her hand which she finishes writing off then places it in the patient finishing tray. Looking up she sees Castiel standing in front of her.

Michigan Hotel
Sam Winchester sitting in front of his laptop researching something on the net about him & Deans latest hunt doesn’t notice Castiel appear in, in front of him. Seeing him Sam jumps a little.
Sam: Jesus Christ Castiel don’t you knock?
Castiel: I’m an angel Sam we don’t knock.
Sam: Well it wouldn’t kill you to do that once in a while you know. You could’ve been a demon.
Castiel: I’m not human Sam so it wouldn’t kill me would it?
Sam: What? Err never mind. Whaddya what? If it’s Dean he’s not here. He’s at getting a burger at Mc Chucky’s.
Castiel: No it’s not Dean I want Sam it’s you.
A little surprised at that Sam answers.
Sam: (Surprised) Me? Why do you want me?
Castiel: I need some advice.
Hearing this Sam laughs out a little.
Sam: (Laughing) Some advice from me?
Castiel: Yes Sam you’re a man who’s dealt with women before & so are a good choice to ask advice on that.
Sam: (Shocked) What?
Castiel sits down next to Sam & tells him what he wants to do. To say the least Sam’s shocked but not as shocked as whom it’s going to be with.
Sam: (Shocked) Melissa? You wanna sleep with Melissa?
Castiel: I know this disturbs you greatly Sam because you & she were together a long time ago.
Sam: To right it does.
Castiel: But you are the best person alive who knows her intimately & how I should behave around her & what she likes.
Sam: & she agreed to do this without going out on a date with you first?
Castiel: No we are goanna do that Saturday it’s just I’ve never been out on a date before much less sleep with someone I don’t really know & I just want help on that.
Bringing his right hand up Sam smoothes, it a little through his shaggy dog hair.
Sam: God well if you wanna know about Mel she’s very easy to talk to but hates people whom aren’t themselves.
Castiel: Right.
Sam: & as it’s a first date she’ll take you somewhere easy & familiar to her like a restaurant say Quake or Grenadines or Vic’s jazz club on Fulton Street.
Castiel: Okay.
Sam: She likes moonlit beach walks, dancing & music & will listen to you if you talk to her. Oh & if you do go Vic’s Mel may sing there which she’s done so before or she mayn’t don’t know.
Castiel: Gotcha.
Sam: But if Mel does she’s got a really good voice & so won’t be outta tune.
Castiel: Yes I know & her music teaching background helps also.
Sam: Yep.
Castiel: Is there anything else I should know?
Sam: 2 things. 1 don’t over dress yourself keep it short & simple suit & coat & she likes roses red ones so get them also & give them to her.
Castiel: Alright. Well thank you for the advice Sam it’s much appreciated.
Sam: Yeah well I can’t believe I even said it to you.
Understanding Sam’s reluctance Castiel puts his right hand on Sam’s left shoulder as support.
Castiel: Do not worry Sam I won’t hurt her I promise you.
Sam: Yeah well I’d kill you if you did even though you are an angel.
Castiel: Yes of course.
With that he soon disappears.
Melissa’s Bedroom Saturday 20th September
Melissa’s there with Chris & Piper finishing off putting on what jewellery she’s wearing tonight.
Piper: I can’t believe your doing this Mel.
Chris: I second that.
Reading their & shock & horror Melissa turns round.
Melissa: Okay look I know you’re both shocked & horrified but I don’t need to feel that to thank you. I’m nervous at it is.
Piper: Sorry sweetie it’s just I don’t know why you’re doing this its so degrading sleeping with someone you don’t like physically because they ask you to.
Melissa: Yeah but I’m not just sleeping with him am I we’re going out on a date first so it makes things easier later.
Chris: Yes but why do you have to do this?
Melissa: Because he helped us out with Lilith Chris & healed me along with the other angels those closing the gate of hell so this’s me owing him a favour. & he said there’d be no consequences or repercussions & that I’d be in total control the whole time.
Piper: How very angelic of him.
Going over to her antique pine dressing table Melissa looks in the mirror & applies natural beige lipstick on.
Piper: So what shoes are you wearing?
Melissa: I don’t know something nice & simple.
Chris: & what about your empathy? You can barely control that much less be in a room with loads of people.
Melissa: Well I’ll sit in the corner away from them & I wouldn’t be able to feel everyone’s emotions unless they’re in close proximity to me.
Chris: Fine. So is he meeting you wherever it is you going to?
Melissa: Nope I’m taking him there in my car. I told him to meet me here about 7.00.
Hearing the doorbell go downstairs through her opened bedroom door Melissa gets up.
Melissa: That’s probably him. I’ll just get my stuff & then be down in a sec.
Piper: Okay.
She & Chris get up of Melissa’s bed & leave the room. Melissa finds her boots she’s goanna wear then slips them on & grabs her coat & bag & walks out the room.
Hallway
Coming downstairs she goes over to the front door & opens it seeing Castiel standing there in his ordinary clothes with a bunch of roses in his hand.
Melissa: Castiel hey come on in.
Castiel: Thank you Melissa.
He does so & she closes the front door. Castiel sees what she’s wearing & comments on her.
Castiel: You look very nice tonight.
Looking at him Melissa answers.
Melissa: Thank you I didn’t wanna wear anything too elaborate & this’s not a real date. & you’re wearing the same clothes?
Castiel: Yes I thought they’d be appropriate enough. I had some advice on it anyway.
Melissa: Oh right. So you’re fully human then?
Castiel: For now yes.
He hands out the red roses to her.
Castiel: I hope you don’t mind me getting you these?
Melissa takes the roses & looks at them.
Melissa: No there fine thank you.
Then up at him.
Melissa: How did you know about them?
Castiel: I had advice on that also.
Melissa nods her head.
Melissa: (Nodding head) Oh okay.
Castiel: So what’s our destination for the evening then?
Melissa: I thought we’d go Vic’s jazz club which’s a good place I’ve been before & the foods good also.
Castiel: Very well if that’s your wish I will go wherever you want.
Melissa: Okay I’ll just put these in water & come back then.
Castiel: Alright.
Melissa goes off & does that then returns soon afterwards.
Melissa: Let’s go then.
Opening up the door Castiel bids Melissa out first then closes the door behind them.
Vic’s Jazz Club
Sitting at a table in the corner of the room Castiel & Melissa talk.
Castiel: Before things go any further I’d to thank you Melissa.
Feeling the sincerity in his words Melissa speaks.
Melissa: Even though this feels weird your welcome.
Castiel: You didn’t have to do it though.
Melissa: No but you did help save me from Lilith so I suppose I owe your in return.
Castiel smiles at her.
Castiel: (Smiling) I’m glad I was of some assistance then.
Melissa rubs her forehead together a little when she feels Castiel’s awkwardness.
Castiel: Are you okay Melissa?
Melissa: Yes. I just feel your awkwardness that’s all.
Castiel: Oh we can go if you want if it’s causing you pain.
Melissa shakes her head.
Melissa: (Shaking her head) No that’s okay it’s understandable. You’ve never been out on a date before so you’re bound to feel this way. It’s lucky your emotions are the only one’s I’m feeling here.
Castiel: But you obviously got the power for a reason.
Melissa: To help know what my mom was feeling after my dad took her ability to feel pain away but I don’t like when it’s like this & I can’t control what I feel especially with Chris.
Castiel: Chris?
Melissa: Our new white lighter from the future. There’s something about him I know it but I just can’t grasp it.
Castiel: What sorter feelings?
Melissa: I’m not sure I feel apprehension from him & guilt like he’s hiding something but then also warmth & love more so around me than mom & Aunt Paige. But he doesn’t like dad though.
Castiel: Why not?
Melissa: I don’t know. I just feel anger from him that’s all.
Castiel: Maybe he knew Leo in the future & he did something to Chris which he doesn’t like. Have you talked to him about that?
Melissa: Yes but he just tells me to leave it alone so I don’t bother anymore & then there’s my dream.
Castiel: Dream?
Melissa: The one I’ve been having on/off ever since Chris came back. I’m sure if it is a dream or a premonition but I see 2 women running away from a run down area by something which’s chasing them then they turn around & get hit by 2 energy balls & die. I don’t see the person who did it but I can feel the evil inside them & it terrifies me.
Castiel: Do your family know this?
Melissa: No I haven’t told them as they’ve got trying to find out who’s after Wyatt to deal with.
She takes a sip from her straw in her Vodka martini then puts the glass down on the table.
Melisa: Hey I’m sorry about the non dinner set out.
Castiel: That’s okay I don’t mind the wedges we’ve got. Like I said you’re in total control tonight so.
Melissa: Thank you for that Castiel.
Castiel: Well you’re performing a service for me so it’s only fair. Besides from the way you look I didn’t think you’d wanna go big.
Melissa: Not really no.
Castiel: Is it your dad? I heard he become an Elder recently.
Melissa: Yeah. I mean me & Wyatt, see him but not like we, used to when he came home every night to mom. She wasn’t goanna let us see him before but I managed to convince her otherwise especially with Wyatt & how it would affect him not having dad around.
Castiel: That’s good despite what’s happening.
He takes a potato wedge & dips it into the barbecue sauce & eats it.
Melissa: Yeah but I just can’t get over the fact that there never goanna be together like they used to. I mean mom & dad loved each other so much & overcame so many obstacles & then had Wyatt & we were a proper family but now dads gone & moms going out on dates it just feels like it did when she went out with Dan all those years ago.
Castiel: Parental separation is never easy Melissa but it happens & we have to accept whether we like it or not.
Melissa: (Smiling) Is that what god instructs you to tell people?
Castiel: In certain ways yes.
Melissa: I’ve been meaning to go back to church but with this new power I was worried what might happen there. I mean last time I went I tongued Father Reynolds down the throat in front of the entire concretion which was so embarrassing.
Castiel: God understands how much you still believe & prey in him Melissa in your own way.
Melissa: Yeah well since mom & dad an all I’ve been preying a lot more than usual.
Castiel: Well it doesn’t matter how much or how hard you prey Melissa god still hears you.
Melissa: That’s comforting, to know yes.
The jazz band playing on stage start up their instruments again as the club’s special guest for the evening Katie Melua launches into the song “When You Taught Me How To Dance” from the film “Miss Potter”. Looking at Castiel Melissa speaks.
Melissa: Would like to dance? It’s a great way to be physical with someone without actually, do it with them. It’ll make things a lot easier later on.
Castiel: I don’t know how to dance.
Melissa: Then I’ll show you.
She extends her hand & Castiel takes it. Getting up she instructs him what to do.
Melissa: Okay put you right hand around my waist then extend your left hand out & hold my right hand with it.
Castiel does what she says as Melissa puts her left hand around Castiel’s waist & holds her right hand with his left one.
Melissa: Next when I put my left foot forward you put your right one back.
Castiel: Okay.
They both do that.
Melissa: Good now move your left foot to the side off your right foot & then connect your right foot with that. I’ll do the same with right & left foot.
Castiel: Alright.
The two of them both engage that.
Melissa: Okay now we do things in reserve. You take the lead & put your left leg forward & I’ll put my right foot back. Then we connect our right & left feet together like we did before.
Castiel: Okay.
The angel & the witch do that.
Melissa: & that’s called a waltz. Tricky parts doing that & circling around the room also.
Castiel: & how do we do that?
Melissa: Take my hands like you just did.
Castiel does that.
Melissa: Then do the steps we just did but turn around slowly also.
Castiel does that as Melissa turns him slowly around the area there in whilst the songs been played out in the room.
When you taught me how to dance years ago, with misty eyes,
Every step and silent glance, every move, a sweet surprise.
Someone must have taught you well, to beguile and to entrance,
For that night you cast your spell, & you taught me how to dance.
Like reflections in a lake I recall what went before.
As I give, I’ll learn to take, & will be alone no more
Other lights may light my way I may even find romance;
But I won’t forget that night when you taught me how to dance
Cold winds blow, but up on those hills you’ll find me & I know you’re walking right behind me,
When you taught me how to dance years ago, with misty eyes,
Every step and silent glance, every move, a sweet surprise.
Someone must have taught you well, to beguile and to entrance,
For that night you cast your spell, & you taught me how to dance. & you taught me how to dance.
As the song finishes Melissa & Castiel part & the crowd cheer Katie’s performance.
Halliwell Front Exterior
Castiel & Melissa walk up this after getting outta her green Jeep
Liberty at the bottom of the driveway. Coming up to the front door
Melissa gets her keys out from her handbag & turns the lock in the
door then opens it up with the handle.
Melissa: Come on in.
Castiel: Thanks.
Walking inside the house Melissa closes & locks the door quietly
behind them. Going into the hallway not seeing anyone about she,
looks upstairs.
Hallway
Melissa: There probably all upstairs asleep so we better be quiet.
Castiel: Okay.
Turning around Melissa looks at Castiel.
Castiel: So what do we do now?
Melissa: We may as well go upstairs. But any feelings you have
keep them in check.
Castiel: Right.
They walk upstairs & go down the landing quietly towards Melissa’s
room.
Melissa’s Room
Coming in Melissa closes the door quietly behind them then goes
over to her antique dressing table & sits down.
Castiel: Is there anything you want me to do.
Turning round clutching her hand to her right ear where her earring
is Melissa talks to Castiel.
Melissa: No just stand there for a minute or look around.
Castiel: Alright.
Turning back she takes her jewellery of & places it back in her
jewellery box. Looking about Castiel sees lots of things littered
around the room & goes over to them. He sees a high bookself with
lots of Old music in it & DVD’S.
Castiel: You have a lot of music & DVD’S here.
Turning round taking of her left half way up black boot she smiles a
little.
Melissa: (Smiling) Oh yeah that’s my prize winning collection. It’s
mainly old music & DVD’S which I like but I do have new stuff also.
Castiel: & you alphabeticalise them?
Getting off the dressing table she comes up to him.
Melissa: By music yep.
Outstretching her right hand she shows Castiel what she’s done.
Melissa: I go by artist if I have a lot of a person’s albums or by
genre if I only have one same with my DVD’S. Musicals, action flicks,
romance & period dramas. Makes, it easier to get when I want
them.
Castiel: Ingenious idea.
Melissa: Yep but It took me long enough to do it although I do have
a lot though.
Moving on Castiel come up over to her beside table which has some
period books on it. He picks one up & looks at it.
Castiel: Pride & Prejudice?
Melissa: It’s about this rich guy who meets someone inferior to him
& falls in love. She’s prejudicial to him in the book but then the way
he acts around her at the start kinder justifies that. They fall in love
& marry in the end after she finds, out who he really is which’s
different to what she saw in earlier.
Castiel: So you like historical books then?
Melissa: I like anything old books, music, DVDS, furniture which I
have & cars to. Dean’s impala great & Buick’s also & I was good at
history in school so that’s another reason why I like old stuff.
Castiel: Oh right.
Gripping the clip her hair she removes it allowing her long ginger
light hair to flow down her back. Looking at her from behind Castiel
feels uneasy. Melissa reads this.
Melissa: You feel unsure like you don’t wanna do this now.
She turns round to him.
Castiel: (Unsure) I don’t know if I want to. After talking to you it
feels wrong to defile you like this.
Melissa: Hey I agreed to it to also & actually talking to you makes it
feel a lot easier.
Castiel: But I don’t want to hurt you I promised Sam I wouldn’t.
Hearing Melissa looks surprised a little.
Melissa: (Surprised) Sam? So that’s who you got your advice from.
Castiel: Well he is the best person who’s known you intimately & so
was a good choice to ask that.
Melissa: Right.
Castiel: If you don’t want to do this please say so now & I’ll leave
right away.
Melissa: Well we’ve already been on the date so we can’t back out
now.
Castiel: (Unsure, hesitant) Yes but I’m not really sure what to do
though.
Melissa comes up close to him.
Melissa: That’s okay just close your eyes.
Castiel does so. Melissa closing her eyes to tilts her head sideways
left & kisses him softly on the lips. Castiel feeling this responds back
& puts his hands on Melissa’s shoulders for support. Time lapse
later Castiel & Melissa are lying in bed close to one another.
Melissa: So how’re you feeling?
Looking at Melissa Castiel answers her.
Castiel: Fine. Thank you Melissa for letting me experience what true
love feels like.
Melissa: Your welcome I think.
Castiel: I’ll be outta here by the morning don’t worry. & I won’t tell
anyone what transpired here.
Melissa: Thank you.
Castiel: That’s quite alright.
Melissa: You know now this’s happened I won’t be able to look at
you quite in the same way again.
Castiel: Neither will, I but I can defiantly say this’s an experience I’ll
never forget.
The 2 of them laughing out look up & stare at the ceiling. The
camera holds on them then fades to black.
The End.
