• Jared whispered something to Jensen that made Jensen bend over laughing for a while :))

Finally say they could stick Cas in Baby if he was dying and needed a vessel "so they wouldn't have to look at him."
• End of panel, Jensen sings and Jared plays the cowbell.

Possibly the best moment of my life?

I'd never done a photo op with the boys before, and the whole thing was amazing.

As soon as I stepped up Jared plucked the bags from my hands and gave me this hopeful puppy look. So I explained what I wanted to do and Jensen nodded with that "I got this" look he gets and put his hands on my shoulders to guide me between them.

Click, the picture is taken and we break apart. Then Jared gave me the hopefully puppy look again and tucked the bags under his shirt like the cutie pie dork that he is.

"Yes, they're for you, I'm not going to take them from you."

He f**king grinned and I thanked them, hoping that they didn't notice my trembling fingers.

And then it got even better in the autograph line.

Jared busted out laughing when he saw how the photo turned out, "I love it! This is great!"

So I thanked him and asked if the gummy bears were gone already.

"Oh yeah, they're gone."

"Did you share?"

"Nope."

"Jared! Shame on you!"

"I don't share gummys. They're too good."

"You know, I considered for a hot second buying you the three pound bag of them, but I thought that Jensen would kill me for enabling you to get that much of a sugar rush."

Jared gave me a look that very clearly said "Oh my god, three pound bag." and then laughed.

"Actually, all the other passengers on our flight back tonight would have probably wanted to kill you because I'd be farting up a storm if you allowed me to have that many...

...that was kind of gross to say, wasn't it?"

"Jared, we hear the set stories and we see the gag reels. We know you. Nothing about what you just said surprises anyone hearing this."

The girl I had been standing next to in line nodded in agreement and Jared laughed again.

"Yeah, I guess that's true. Thanks for the bears!"

"Thanks Jared, have a great night!"

"You too!"

And if that glorious and hilarious interaction wasn't great enough, then there was Jensen's autograph line.

As I approached the table, Mark Sheppard finished up his autographs and came over to Jensen.

"You out?" Jensen said, leaning back in his chair to talk to Mark.

"Yeah. Hugs and kisses to the family, alright? I'll see you soon," Mark extended his hand and Jensen took it, giving it a shake.

"Yeah, you too, man, give your family a hug for me."

Is it weird how excited I was seeing them act so casually friendly? Probably...

Then Jensen turned back to the table and pulled my photo toward him, picking up a sharpie again.

"Hi Jensen."

He looked up, clearly still in his own little world and not paying attention, "What?"

I bent down slightly and raised my voice, smiling, "Hi Jensen!"

He just grinned and signed the picture.

Luckily for him, I had thought ahead and picked up extra bags of gummy bears, which I then presented to him.

"I heard Jared didn't share. So these are specifically for you."

He took them quickly with a look toward Jared's table, making sure he hadn't seen before stuffing them in his pocket.

"You know what gets me? He didn't even eat these until I introduced him to them. That was all me! Now he waltzes around all Ah man, gummy bears are my favorite!' (This, said in a mocking tone with a dopey face). No! Get your own favorite!"

"What a copier!"

"I know, right?!"

"Well, those are just for you, so enjoy them."

"Thanks." (Another grin.)

"Thank you! Have a good night, Jensen."

"You too."

It was astounding. I'd never heard Jensen talk so much in an auto line, it was like witnessing a double rainbow.

Needless to say, it was one of the best con experiences of my life.
