"Can my brother come to your birthday party, Jacob?" Minx questioned
"I don't see why not."
Minx cheered silently and instantly disappeared through a portal.
She had already bought Jinx a Halloween outfit. And she forgot to invite him to the summer pool party… But oh well. She also forgot to ask Jinx if he even wanted to go to the Halloween party. Probably because he wouldn't want to.
She walks through the portal and appeared in his closet. There were dirty clothes everywhere, and it smelt terrible. Minx started to gag, choking on rotten air. 'Doesn't he ever clean his room?' she thought. As her eyes started to adjust to the bright light of the massively lit up portal in the dark closet she squinted around. Yup, just dirty clothes. In an act to protect her nose from devastation, she had her thumb on one side of it, and her pointer finger on the other. This happily blocked all breathing through her nose. She peeked through a crack in the slightly open door to see Jinx with a look of horror on his face.
Jinx's Point of View
"K guys! I'll go around to the back of the building! Michael, you be my backup. Ricky, Jack, you aim at the windows from afar." Jinx hollered through his microphone connected to his headphones. His thumbs moved madly, punching here, hitting there. The only thing that existed for him was his flat screen tv, his strong avatar, and his school friends.
"Yes, boss." Said a quietly distant but sarcastic voice from his headphones. Followed by boy giggles, and low snickers.
*BA BAM!* An electric crackle emitted from his closet. Followed by a quiet monstrous growl. He froze. "Guys, I'll be right back…" Jinx's voice said distantly. He sounded distraught, careful not to be too loud. Before he could hear and answer from Michael, he put his controller down.
He slowly turned around, to see a crazy glow from his closet. He covered his mouth, and his eye pupils shook out of pure terror.
"Dude, are you alright-" Michael started to ask, but Jinx's hand quickly flew up to his headpiece, and his nail dug into the hard, smooth and warm plastic. Pulling distinctly, and turning off the voice, the headphones with it.
"Jinx!" An unknown feminine voice whisper yelled at him in particular. All he saw was an eye peek out at him.
Jinx cautiously tiptoed up to the closet door, taking slow steps.
Just then, a figure blew the doors open, and two arms took him by the shirt and tugged. His body was pushed into the blinding purple light.
Jinx stumbled through and rubbed his eyes. Minx snapped her fingers, and the electric sounds disappeared.
She jumped in front of him squealing happily. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" He just stood there, clearly frozen in shock. She then pulled him into a bone-crushing hug.
As he quickly lost his ability to breathe, his eyes danced around the room. This shocked him even more because he had never been in a mansion before!
"I missed you so so so so much! It's been forever!" Minx pulled away, to give him a good inspection. "You kept your mohawk!"
Jinx nodded slowly, his eye pupils slowly calming down, along with his mind.
"Give him some space, you've scared the living bird out of him!" Emma told her.
Minx backed away.
"I'm sorry," Emma continued. "She just loves you." Emma looked over at an excited Minx. "A lot. Anywho, we have invited you to our humble home for a Halloween birthday party!"
"But it's in the middle of July." Jinx shook his head.
Minx reassured him. "In this dimension, it's Halloween night."
"Umm… Cool?" Jinx said with pure confusion.
Jinx watched as Enoch walked up to them. "You must be Jinx." He yawned.
Jinx nodded in response.
Minx gestured to Enoch. "Jinx, this is my Boyfriend, Enoch. And my friend Emma."
Jinx looked Enoch up and down, seemingly judging him. Then he whispered into her ear. "You're dating him?"
"He's nice once you get to know him," She whispered back. "...If he likes you…" Minx leaned back, away from Jinx. "I bought you a costume for tonight! You're being Franken Stein, I'll be your wife, and Enoch's gonna be the mad scientist."
Jinx thought about wearing bolts in his head and ripped pants. He liked the thought of wearing a long lab coat and sunglasses better. "Why can't your boyfriend be Franken Stein instead?"
Emma clapped her hands in a giddy manner. "That is a splendid idea! That way you two can be characters that are married!"
Minx blushed deeply. "But we were gonna be tweezers…"
Jinx shrugged. "We are tweezers." He hid a smile. 'This year,' he thought. 'I'm gonna have a cool costume. No more embarrassing twin costumes this year!' "Mwahahahahaha!" He laughed evilly.
Minx huffed. "Practice your evil laugh later, weirdo." She handed him his costume and gave Enoch his Franken Stein costume. They all disbanded to get dressed.
_Time Skip_(Jacobs House)_
(Party playlist songs will be displayed randomly throughout the party!)
Horace's (dressed as a fancy vampire) heels tapped against the ground repeatedly as he wandered around the large party room. In his right hand, he clutched a cold glass of punch. Sure the punch was mostly sugar, food coloring, and water, but it was good sugar, food coloring, and water. He admired everyone's costumes, but he was interested in her own most. He didn't buy the cheap vampire teeth, he bought the expensive kind. And, his costume wasn't made to be just worn once and thrown away. So Horace was pretty satisfied. Then again, anybody would be. Horace was interrupted from his thoughts about fashion by the sight of two green figures. He didn't get a good look at everyone's costumes earlier, especially in the car. It was barely even lit in the car at all earlier, he realized. He wandered up to Minx and Enoch.
"Good day Mr. and Mrs. Stein." He bowed.
Minx smiled. "But Horace, it's 7:46 pm."
"To a vampire, night feels like day compared to a mortal," Horace said
Enoch rolled his eyes.
"I guess so… I don't usually think about it like that. But I'll try."
Horace saw Jacob and Emma come in with large bags of candy, and start pouring them into even larger bowls. "Until next time." He told them.
Horace left their presence in exchange for large amounts of candy.
Minx eyed Enoch's neck. "I still think you should've worn your bow tie."
"Your lucky I'm even wearing this ridiculous costume at all." He said grumpily.
"Our costumes are not ridiculous!" Minx retorted.
"No," Enoch corrected her. "My costume looks ridiculous. Yours is hot."
Minx quickly looked down at her dress. She knew she should have bought the version that came down to her feet. But she just had to buy the one she was wearing now. Unfortunately, it came quite a bit above her knees. If she were to put her arms at her sides, the dress just came up to her fingertips. Otherwise, it would've been too short. But in this case, it wasn't.
"Does not!" She disagreed.
"Whatever you say, Mrs. Stein~," He said smugly and started to walk away.
Minx turned around the other way and crossed her arms. "I can't believe he said that!" She murmured to herself. She told herself not to look back, but her eyes traveled to look the other way. She skipped up to his side once again.
Enoch took her hand. "Miss me already?~"
"Shutup."
"As you wish-" Enoch started
"And stop calling me Mrs. Stein."
Jinx ran past them, shouting, "I'm not ready to die!"
Millard's reaper costume appeared to levitate a few inches above the ground as he slowly walked up behind Jinx. He raised his death scythe in anticipation. "But you're already dead." He said in a very low tone.
"NO I'M NOT!" Jinx shrieked behind him, and ran into the backyard, into the huge maze Fiona made.
Millard picked up speed. "They all say that."
Jinx could barely see in the dark. He hastily looked both ways within the maze. Left or right? 'Come on, come on, I don't have all day! I'm being chased by the godforsaken reaper for christ's sake! Why won't anyone help me?' He decided to take a left.
As he ran, suddenly all he could hear were smooching sounds. "What the fuck?" He whispered quietly, he slowed down, catching his breath.
As his eyes adjusted to the dark, he could see two figures moving passionately. He squinted. 'Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew EW!' He thought repeatedly. Fiona and Hugh were kissing. To give them space, he ran the other way.
He turned his head behind him, to see if he was being followed any longer. But he couldn't see anything. In fact, all he could see was black.
Before he could look forward again, he bumped into a strong body. Or so he thought. He looked up at the sky. Revealing the Reaper. The Reaper slowly moved closer to Jinx's face.
Jinx told himself not to cry. But then the Reaper pulled his hood down off his head. To Jinx's surprise, it was Millard.
Jinx stood up and shoved Millard. "That wasn't cool man!"
Millard fell to the ground, laughing his head off. He was laughing too hard to speak, or even breathe for that matter.
Jinx snatched Millard's dead scythe away. Just to be anticipating, he hit the ground in front of Millard's face so hard that half of the tip was in the grassy dirt. This revealed that with Millard's precious wealth, he had bought an actual real scythe. Millard instantly stopped laughing and started backing away.
"I-I thought we were cool dude." Millard stuttered from the ground below Jinx. Millard was trying to speak 21st-century language. Poor guy, he didn't even know how to use slang words.
When Jinx lifted the heavy weapon high above his mohawk head, Millard was obviously scared. But when Jinx let out a war cry, that was it. Millard was like: 'astalavista'. He got up from the ground so fast that he almost slid and fell again. "Crap!" Millard uttered as he started to run away with Jinx on his tail.
Jinx chased Millard all the way out of the Maze, and inside Jacob's house again.
Once again, they passed Minx and Enoch. This time, with Jinx chasing Millard and Millard yelling: "But I'm not ready to die! There are still so many fandoms I haven't yet discovered!"
Jinx protested. "Come here, you little nerd!"
Both of them halted as they bumped into a real strong body. Bronwyn, (dressed as a wrestler) snatched the death scythe from Jinx and broke it in half with ease. It was so sturdy, that even Millard was baffled.
"Crap." Jinx squeaked.
"Run." Millard squeaked back.
They ran away, side by side. Thus, starting an amateur friend relationship. But before they could get out the back door, Bronwyn through one-half of the scythe at the wall so hard next to Jinx's face that it went right through the wall! After letting out great girlish screams, the ran through the maze together, in hopes of being able to hide.
Horace, who was standing next to Olive, (Olive was given fairy wings from another dimension that she could make appear and disappear whenever she wanted them to) said "Karma. Interesting force, wouldn't you say?"
"Indeed Mr. Somnusson. Indeed." Olive nodded in a fancy manner and continued gnawing at her lollypop.
Claire came up to them and started stashing candy in her Trick-Or-Treat bucket.
Miss Peregrine thinks they're out trick or treating, and Jacob's parents are out at a family member's house for the weekend. Overall, they all went at least a little crazy due to lack of adult presence. But it was a fun night.
