Little Bill is tucked under his covers, wide-eyed and clutching his favorite blue pillow. Suddenly, a shimmering ghost floats past his window, followed by a lumbering dino silhouette and the golden mane of a lion peeking from the closet. His heart pounds as he watches the ghost swirl around his room.
"A-a ghost! And a dino! And a lion! Oh, no!" he cries, voice trembling.
Little Bill runs as fast as he can, breathing heavily, his pajama shirt flapping behind him. He bursts into the living room, where the glow of a television lights up the faces of his friends, Geo Umizoomi and Milli. He skids to a stop and tries to catch his breath.
"Geo! Milli! I saw a ghost, a dinosaur, and a lion in my room! They're coming for me!" Little Bill exclaims, his voice almost a whisper.
Geo Umizoomi puts a reassuring hand on Little Bill's shoulder, while Milli offers him a blanket. They listen carefully to his story, exchanging worried glances but determined to help.
"Don't worry, Little Bill! We'll figure out what's going on and keep you safe," Geo says, voice steady and confident.
"Let's go investigate together. Maybe there's more to these ghosts than meets the eye," Milli adds, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Geo Umizoomi examines the closet, while Milli peers under the bed. Little Bill stays close to the door, nervously chewing on his sleeve. Suddenly, a giggle emerges from inside the closet, followed by a burst of laughter.
"Wait a minute, that sounds familiar!" Geo says, as the closet door swings open to reveal the culprits.

"Surprise, Little Bill! It was us all along," April laughs, pulling off the ghost sheet. Bobby grins, waving his dino tail, and Fuchsia ruffles her lion mane.
"You guys scared me so much! I thought you were real monsters," Little Bill says, relief and laughter mixing in his voice.
Geo Umizoomi smiles at Little Bill, handing him a flashlight. Milli passes out cookies to everyone. The friends promise to play fair and not scare each other again, but Little Bill can't help but giggle at the memory.
"Next time, let's make sure our adventures are fun for everyone," Geo concludes, as the group settles in for a night of games and laughter.
