It happened right after their talk with the Trickster. Sam was in a dark room. He felt his way along the wall, trying to find a light switch. He found it and flipped it on, revealing a lavish room. Sam looked around the room, trying to locate his brother. "Dean? Dean, are you here?" he listened carefully for any sounds leading to his brother.

When nothing stood out to him, he started looking around the room. "Hey kiddo. Find anything of interest?" Sam whirled around at the sound.

"What do you want? And where's Dean?" he yelled angrily at the creature before him. The Trickster glared at Sam with one eyebrow raised and his arms crossed over his chest.

He shrugged. "He's fine. Let's just say he won't need to get laid anytime soon." he wiggled his eyebrows at the youngest Winchester.

Sam's face contorted in disgust. "Ew. I really didn't need to know that. And you never answered my other question."

The Trickster lowered his head. "I wanted to talk to you. Alone. And I needed to separate you from your brother." he looked back up at the young man.

Sam didn't know what to think. He opened and closed his mouth a few times before his face morphed into one of confusion. "Alright, you've got me alone. What do you want to talk about?"

The Trickster moved over to sit in a chair in the corner of the room. "I've been thinking about what you said. I'd be willing to do it, if you do something for me in return." he leered at the young man as his eyes rake over him.

Sam's jaw dropped open and he took a step away from the trickster, trying to keep some distance between them. "And how do I know that this isn't a trick?" he asked skeptically.

The Trickster smirked. "You don't. That's the fun of it. So what do ya say Sammy? Are ya in or what?" he asked as he conjured up a candy bar.

Sam pushed his bangs back away from his face and blew out a breath. Dean will kill him if he found out about this, but dammit, he's curious. He tucked his hands into the front pockets of his jeans. He hunched his shoulders, trying to make himself seem smaller, and looked at the Trickster through his bangs. "Okay. What do you want me to do?" he asked with a slight nervousness in his tone.

The Trickster regarded this human standing before him. He tilted his head to the side and stared. He could make this human do whatever the hell he wanted and we would do it too. And for what? A world that doesn't want to be saved? Oh this was gonna be sweet. Again, he smirked at the human. "Well now that's the spirit Sammy! Here's the deal. You give me one night with you and I might consider helping you stop the Apocalypse," he watched Sam's reaction. "If you refuse, well, you and your brother will be trapped in Tv land. Forever."

Sam jerked his head up, surprise evident on his face. Sam opened and closed his mouth, shifting his weight from foot to foot. He doesn't know what to say to this offer. He knew what Dean would say, so why can't he say no? He looked the Trickster in the eye. "Alright. I'll do it." Sam had no idea why he was agreeing to this, but needless to say, he was most definitely curious.

The Trickster smiled at him. "Good. I'll come find you when I'm ready to collect." he snapped his fingers and disappeared.

Sam found himself in the Impala, but not sitting in the Impala. Dean walked out of the motel room, in a panic and yelling into his phone. He climbed into the Impala and put his phone in his pocket. "Dean."

Dean looked around the Impala. "Sam? Where are you?" he couldn't figure out where Sam's voice was coming from.

"I don't know. Oh crap." Dean finally looked at the dash and there was a device, that wasn't there before, with Sam's voice coming out of it.

"I think we need to find the Trickster." Dean was still shocked that his brother was the Impala. He finally started driving. He started going over in his head what Cas told them back at the motel and how defensive Gabriel got when they mentioned Michael and Lucifer. Realization finally hit him.

"Son of a bitch."

"What?" Sam asked, annoyed.

"I think I know what we're dealing with." he pushed down harder on the gas pedal and pulled into a rest area.

"Dean."

"What?" Dean asked, a hint of annoyance and anger in his voice.

"That, uh, feels really uncomfortable." said Sam, clearly uncomfortable.

Dean rolled his eyes and slammed the trunk, earning an 'ow' from Sam. They talked about if their plan will work when the Trickster showed up, making fun of Sam's new 'look'.

Dean told the Trickster to turn Sam back. A few words were exchanged before the Trickster snapped his fingers and Sam climbed out of the Impala, glaring right at the Trickster.

Sam lit his lighter and threw it on the ring of holy oil and watched as it ignited around the Trickster. Sam was berating himself for making that stupid deal now. He had to get out of it. How? Good question. He watched Dean explain how they figured out that the Trickster was an angel. Sam was pissed at himself for getting into this mess. "So which one are you? Grumpy, Sneezy, or Douchey?"

Gabriel looked directly at Sam. "Gabriel, okay? They call me Gabriel." he said softly, a slight smirk on his face.

Now that Sam knew the Trickster's true identity, he needed to get out of this deal more than ever. Sam's mind was still reeling from this revelation. How could he be so stupid?! He should know better than to make deals. Nothing good ever comes from making a deal. His mind was racing throughout the whole conversation with Gabriel. All he could think about was getting out of the deal. He never noticed when Cas came back or that Dean was trying to get him to leave. He looked at Dean and then back at Gabriel. "I'll be there in a minute Dean. I got a few more questions I want to ask."

Dean shrugged and walked with Cas out to the Impala. Sam stared at Gabriel, vibrating with anger. "You tricked me and then lied to me about who you are! I'm calling the deal off!" he clenched his fists and his chest was heaving with the excursion.

Gabriel stared right back at Sam, fire blazing in his eyes. "You can't escape it Sammy. A deal with an archangel is binding. It's gonna happen kiddo, whether you want it or not." Gabriel extinguished the flames and got up in Sam's personal space. "I'll see ya around Sammy."
