Oliver stood nervously at the entrance, gripping his backpack tightly. "What if they don’t like me?" he whispered to himself, taking a deep breath before stepping inside.
Ms. Willow, their kind witch teacher, smiled warmly at Oliver. "Class, we have a new student today! Everyone, meet Oliver!" she announced. Luna, Frankie, Mimi, and Basil waved shyly, unsure of what to say to the human boy.
Oliver sat alone on a bench, watching Luna float, Frankie lift rocks, Mimi swing from her bandages, and Basil dash around. "They all have something special," he thought, feeling a pang of envy.
"Today, we have a special teamwork challenge! You must work together to find the golden pumpkin," Ms. Willow explained. Oliver, Luna, Frankie, Mimi, and Basil stepped through the portal, ready for the adventure.
"Luna, maybe you can glow to light the way?" Oliver suggested. Luna blushed and glowed brightly, illuminating their path. "It’s... the moon! Luna, shine your glow on the wall," Oliver declared upon solving the riddle, revealing the hidden door to the golden pumpkin.
"Oliver, you’re really good at bringing us together!" Frankie exclaimed. "Yeah! You helped us all see what we’re good at," Mimi added. Oliver felt a warmth in his heart, knowing he had found his place. "See? Being different isn’t just special—it makes us stronger together," Ms. Willow affirmed, as they all celebrated their newfound friendship.
