And the letters pour in like a flood.

Well, not a flood, so much. More like a trickle.

Okay, fine: a drought.

Sam doesn't notice until Thursday. He's been studying for finals all week, and on Monday night he had to go cover one of those insanely boring school board meetings because Castiel was out with the flu. (This wasn't a total loss, though: Gabriel tagged along and afterward they made out in a back hallway of the school where nobody was. Gabriel felt Sam up through his pants, and tugged on his tie, and GOD Sam wants to do that again.)

But when he's got a story written, he heads into the classroom and discovers the empty cardboard box. He stares into it balefully.

"We're going to have to write some ourselves," says Ruby. "Just to get the ball rolling."

Chuck jumps in, shaking his head furiously. "We can't make things up! We're a newspaper!"

"We don't have to make it up," croaks Cas, who is back at school but still sounds like a chain-smoker. "We can use our real problems."

"I don't have problems," Ed declares.

Harry snickers. "Right. You're perfect."

"Close enough."

"Hey, why don't you Ask Leo about that ghost you swear is haunting your attic?"

"Shut up, Harry!"

"Dear Frightened, try burning the bones. Love, Leo. P.S. I hear salt is like acid to ghosts. Burny acid."

"Shut UP, Harry!"

Sam is trying to hold back his laughter.

"Cas is right. I want one letter to Leo from each of you. Type them up, print them out. We'll shuffle them so Sam doesn't know whose is whose." Chuck leans forward and glares with that editorly face he sometimes puts on. "Get to work!"

When they're done, Sam has a half-dozen questions to choose from. He picks three and gets to work.

Dear Leo,

I get so frustrated with my boyfriend sometimes. He's nice and sweet and all, but sometimes I get the feeling he doesn't listen to a word I say. I give him lots of great ideas and he ignores every one! How do I get him to listen?

Dear Banana,
If they're your great ideas, then you should be the one to make them real. Strike out for yourself and prove him wrong. Then he'll see just how brilliant you really are - and he'll be coming to you for inspiration. -Leo

Dear Leo,

I really like this guy, and he doesn't seem to have a girlfriend. Problem is, a lot of my friends like him too. Should I go after him, even if it makes my friends mad?

Signed,
Lovelorn

Dear Lovelorn,
Don't forget that this guy can make a choice, too. There's nothing wrong with being friendly, and if he feels the same way, then your friends won't have any right to complain. But coming on strong might not be the right idea, because you could lose your friends and lose him, too. - Leo

Dear Leo,

I kind of like my best friend's adopted sister. Am I screwed?

Signed,
We Could Be Stepbrothers!

Dear Could Be,

Yep, you're screwed. -Leo
