Nicki Aycox graces the red carpet at the illustrious film premiere of "Dead on Campus," basking in the glow of flashing cameras and surrounded by an enthusiastic throng of adoring fans and eager press. She elegantly poses for photos and thoughtfully answers questions before making her grand entrance into the Mann Chinese Theater. Meanwhile, Nick, ever the vigilant admirer, waits patiently near her luxurious limousine. As the evening progresses, the excitement reaches a crescendo when the theater's back door swings open, revealing Nicki Aycox as she glides towards her awaiting ride. However, there's a surprise in store - her actual driver and bodyguard is nowhere to be seen, having been inconspicuously replaced by a cleverly disguised Nick, who is ready to whisk her away once the event concludes.

Nicki's gaze finally locks onto the sleek black limousine, a beacon of luxury amidst the chaos. She glides over with the poise of a gazelle, the fabric of her dress fluttering with each step, revealing glimpses of her shapely legs. The night air is cool against her bare shoulders, a stark contrast to the warmth of the spotlights. She feels a sudden thrill of anticipation as she approaches the limo, her heart racing with excitement for the mysteries the evening may hold.

The scent of Nicki's perfume washes over, an intoxicating mix of jasmine and lavender, setting Nick's senses alight. His palms are slightly damp with nervousness as he opens the limo door for her, hoping his costume isn't too obvious. The sight of Nicki makes his heart ache and his senses burn brighter than any star. She's even more stunning up close.

Title Card Fictional Season 18

The screen is engulfed in a fiery explosion, as if the very words "Supernatural" were summoned from the depths of hell itself. A pentagram formed by writhing flames emerges, its sinister shape serving as the focal point of a devilish trap. As the flames die down, a pair of skeletal hands appear, their bony fingers etched with a haunting pattern that can only belong to the Key of Solomon. They delicately trace the outline of the pentagram, seemingly summoning a third and final element: the Key of Solomon symbol. Thunderclouds gather above the scene, their ominous depths reflecting the inner turmoil of the universe. A single drop of blood falls from the heavens, its crimson hue contrasting sharply with the blackness that surrounds it. The heartbeat of a terrified victim echoes through the room, accompanied by the whispers of restless spirits and the piercing shriek of an unearthly wind. Just as the tension reaches a breaking point, a pane of glass shatters, revealing the title "Supernatural" etched into the shattered fragments. From within the broken glass, a thick black mist erupts, dripping with inky, ectoplasmic fluid. It swirls and twists, creating an ethereal portal to the underworld. As the mist clears, a battle between light and darkness ensues. Angelic blue light bursts forth, only to be immediately followed by a choking cloud of demonic black smoke. Amidst the chaos, a pentagram can be seen forming, its five points anchored by the hands of the skeletons and the Key of Solomon symbol. The screen fades to black, only to be replaced by an inverted cross. Its stark contrast to the previous images serves as a harsh reminder of the dual nature of the supernatural world. As the cross slowly rotates, revealing its true form, a flash of light explodes in front of a cosmic background. It is revealed to be Dean's Amulet, and as it does, an escaped soul from hell flies towards the screen, its demonic presence causing the air to ripple and shimmer. Its arrival is followed by another explosion, this time revealing the burning angel wings of Castiel, as well as a small, black and inverted Pentagram. The screen fades to black, as if the very fabric of reality itself has been torn asunder by the unholy union of darkness and divinity that is... "Supernatural."

As the limo weaves in and out through traffic with the ease of a seasoned driver, the small talk between them gradually deepens. Nicki learns about Nick's humble beginnings in rural town of Iowa, the unbreakable bond with his brothers, and his ongoing single status. Nicki can't help but feel a tingle of excitement as they share laughs and stories, the chemistry palpable as the traffic in LA.

The conversation continues to flow as Nicki relaxes into the plush leather seats, sharing tales of life on the set and her hopes for future projects. Nick nods along, his eyes never straying far from her in the mirror, his mind racing with every twist and turn the conversation takes. The city lights slowly recede in the distance, replaced by the tranquil embrace of the darkened highway and the whispering shadows of passing trees. Passing a sign with the words Oro Vista Park that Nicki fails to notice. Tenty minutes later, the limo pulls up to a secluded driveway, the headlights illuminating a sign that reads 'Gable Equestrian' in elegant script. Nicki's eyes widen with surprise as the vehicle stops, the sounds of distant hooves and the sweet scent of hay filling the air. She watches Nick exit the car, his silhouette sharp against the moonlit sky. Nick approaches a figure emerging from the shadows of the equestrian center. They exchange a few hushed words before Nick returns to the car, a hint of excitement in his gait. The man goes to a stable, returning with two steeds equipped with ridding gear.

As they ride into the quiet embrace of the night, the moon casts a silver glow over the mountainside. The crunch of the horses' hooves on the gravel path is the only sound breaking the tranquil silence. Nick, feeling a surge of adrenaline, decides to make the evening even more unforgettable. He pulls on the reins, urging his stallion into a dramatic pose, its hooves leaving the ground with a powerful lunge. The horse's muscles ripple under the moonlight as it rears up, its mane fluttering in the cool breeze. Nick sits astride the creature, his posture reminiscent of a dashing hero from the pages of a Jamie McGuire novel as they near their destination.

The cabin, a cozy retreat nestled among the whispering pines, stands as a silent sentinel against the moonlit backdrop. Its wooden walls and sloping roof seem to breathe with the night air, welcoming them into its warm embrace. The aroma of roasting meat and freshly baked bread wafts from the open door, mingling with the scent of the surrounding forest. Nicki's stomach growls, the scent of the feast stirring a hunger she hadn't noticed before. Nicki's gaze lingers on Nick as they dismount their horses, her curiosity piqued by his sudden transformation from chauffeur to gallant guide. His eyes, those hauntingly beautiful hazel orbs, seem to hold a secret as they meet hers. The flickering candlelight from within the cabin casts a warm glow across his features, revealing a tapestry of shadows that dance with every heartbeat. As they step into the cabin, the warmth envelops them like a comforting embrace. The low-lit candles cast a romantic glow over the meticulously set table, replete with fine china and silverware that gleams in the soft light. Nick pulls out a chair for Nicki, his hand lingering briefly on the small of her back as she sits, sending a shiver down her spine. The two of them engage in small talk over a meal, Nicki learning even more from Nick.

The explosion was a spectacle to behold, a cacophony of light and sound that seemed to defy the very fabric of reality. The cabin shuddered with the force of the blast, yet somehow remained untouched by the destruction that danced just outside their door. The smoke cleared, revealing a cartoonish mushroom cloud that painted the night sky with a garish palette of colors, the likes of which neither Nick nor Nicki had ever seen before.

With the smoke and dust settling, out in front of the doorway stood Crowley, the picture of slapstick comedy. He was covered in soot, his once sharp-tailored suit now a tattered mess, and his tie had somehow transformed into a bowtie. His eyebrows were singed to comical arches, and his expression was a mix of shock and amusement.
