The Halloween party was in full swing, filled with laughter, loud music, and everyone dressed up in all sorts of creative costumes. You, dressed as a pirate with a fitted jacket, black leather pants, and a confident smirk, moved through the crowd, enjoying the energy of the night. Your costume had definitely turned a few heads, it was a bold look, complete with a pirate hat and boots. You’d put extra effort into tonight, and the response had been well worth it.

As you glanced around the room, your eyes landed on someone familiar but unexpected: Jenna Ortega, standing near the punch bowl in a classic vampire costume, looking effortlessly cool. She was holding a drink and scanning the room, and for a moment, you locked eyes.

She smiled, a little curious, maybe a little intrigued. You took it as your cue to head over.

You: Do vampires get along with pirates?

Jenna: Depends. You’re not planning on stealing anything, are you?

You: Maybe just a few hearts. You wink, enjoying the banter

She raised an eyebrow, clearly amused by your confidence.

Jenna: Bold. I like it.

You both continued chatting, falling into an easy rhythm, her sharp wit meeting your playful charm at every turn. Jenna looked genuinely intrigued, her gaze flicking over your pirate costume with a hint of appreciation.

Jenna: So, tell me, do all pirates have this much confidence?

You: Only the ones who get lucky enough to meet a vampire like you.

Her cheeks flushed a little, though she held your gaze with a smile, clearly enjoying the attention.

After a while, the two of head to the bathroom as Jenna sits inside the bathtub and you sitting on the sink counter, away from the loud music and crowd, but it still echos inside the bathroom. It felt like you’d known each other forever, even though it had only been an hour or so.

Jenna: You’re a bit of a mystery, you know that?
