When Dean had first invited Carmen to the bunker for Thanksgiving, she had been nervous about meeting his parents. In her world, she and Mary were friends. From her experience with Itinere and Dean, she knew that it wasn't guaranteed that Mary would be the same here. Honestly, she was more nervous about meeting Mary than she was about meeting John.

Dinner was awkward at first (Dean had filled Carmen in on the drama with Ruby and Sam--she'd been curious exactly what a demon would look like, but she couldn't tell Ruby was anything except a woman), but things had gotten easier and dinner had become enjoyable. However, she hadn't been prepared to stay the night (she kind of figured that Dean would stay at her place that night after he'd taken her home). Getting snowed in had changed her plans.

She'd slept in one of Dean's tee shirts. She's short and Dean is tall and had they been around anyone other than his parents, she probably would have just worn that around the bunker. However, his parents are there, which means in the morning she puts Dean's robe on over the tee shirt she'd worn, ties it around the waist, and heads toward the laundry room to wash the outfit she'd worn for Thanksgiving (black leggings, knee high boots and a nice sweater). That's where she runs into Mary.

"I promise I don't normally run around in a bathrobe," she starts. "I didn't bring an overnight bag. I was kind of hoping to wash this stuff. Dean says it looks like we're going to be snowed in for at least another day and night."

Carmen and Dean are still new in Itinere and it's complicated. They're taking things slow and Carmen is still getting used to this world. He's told Mary about some of the complications (he thought it only fair considering Carmen knows Mary in her world). Dean hadn't wanted Carmen to spend the holidays alone even if they are still a new, undefined thing.

It will be nice, getting to know this version of Mary. Maybe Carmen will feel like she can get her feet under her here.

The bathrobe is preferable to running around in just a tee shirt. Carmen smiles a little at Mary's offer. "That would be great. Thank you. Do things like this happen often? Getting snowed in, I mean."

Carmen hopes so. She'd loved her life with Dean and it had been snatched away back in her world. This feels like a second chance even if there are ways that Dean in this world isn't like Dean in her world. She nods. "I grew up in Wisconsin so snow reminds me a little of home. Though, we're rarely snowed in there."

Two Deans that are very different and yet so much the same. Her Dean had grown up with a mother and a father. Sure, he'd gotten into trouble when he was young, but he hadn't had the commitment issues that this Dean has. The smile relaxes Carmen a little. Mary is different from the woman she knew in Lawrence, Kansas, but like Dean, she's also very much the same.

"I don't mind. It's nice. Having this much family around. I grew up with three older brothers so I've kind of always lived in a frat house," she joke. "I would have been more prepared if I'd known though. The weather forecasts here are a little scarce." As in non-existent.

It's a work in progress. She's trying to let go of her life back in her own world. Carmen would like for her to be a friend as well. She knows that neither Mary or Dean will be the people she knows, but she's falling in love with this Dean and she'll be friends with this Mary if given the chance.

"I'm beginning to figure that out," Carmen smiles. "I only had Dean to judge from before," she responds. Carmen follows Mary to the room and takes the clothes Mary hands her. "Thank you," she responds and shakes the jeans out to slip them on under the tee-shirt she's wearing then slips the flannel shirt on over the shirt as well. The jeans are a little long, but otherwise the clothes fit well. "Do you like it here? Itinere, I mean."

Carmen can use all the friends she can get if she's going to make a life and a home here.

Carmen will tell her if she asks, but she'd rather not share too many of the unpleasant details from her life before Itinere. She probably should have asked if Mary minded if she changed there. Most of Carmen's modesty had fled after a few months of being a beer girl and walking around in a bikini most of the time. Carmen listens, nodding a little. "I know we're just getting to know each other here, but I trust you back home and it helps to know that you like it here," Carmen tells her honestly. She smiles at Mary's reassurances. "I was so homesick when I first moved to Kansas for work, but I did get used it and it did become a place worth staying." Because of Dean, but not just because of Dean. She thinks things might be similar here.
