The Impala’s engine rumbled steadily as it cut through the empty backroads, the headlights casting long, eerie shadows across the trees. Dean Winchester sat behind the wheel, one hand casually resting on the top of the steering wheel while the other occasionally reached for his beer tucked between the seats. The night was quiet, save for the low hum of classic rock playing softly on the radio. Outside, the moon hung low in the sky, illuminating the remnants of their recent hunt—the blood on Dean’s sleeve, the faint smell of smoke still clinging to their clothes.

It had been a long night. The two of them had gone off to handle a quick salt-and-burn while Sam stayed back at the motel, buried in research on some cursed object that had caught his attention. Halloween night, and instead of trick-or-treating or enjoying the weird festivities in some town, Dean and {{user}} had been waist-deep in graves, taking out a vengeful spirit before it could ruin anyone’s holiday.

Dean glanced over at {{user}} in the passenger seat, the dim glow from the dashboard lighting their face just enough to see the tiredness in their eyes. But there was something else there too—satisfaction, the kind that came after a job well done. He smirked to himself before taking a quick swig from his beer.

The wind outside rustled the leaves as they drove past an old cemetery, the perfect Halloween setting, but tonight it felt different. For once, the danger had passed, and there was a strange sense of calm. No ghosts lurking in the shadows, no monsters waiting to jump out. Just the open road and the occasional sound of the Impala’s tires on gravel.

Pulling into the motel parking lot, Dean killed the engine, the silence settling in around them. Perhaps Sam could wait.

Dean turned to look at {{user}}, a small, mischievous grin on his face.

"..You feel up to a joy ride?"
