Pablo adjusts his scarf and tosses a snowball toward Uniqua, who ducks with a giggle. Tyrone and Tasha pile more snow onto their fort, while Austin carefully shapes the snowman’s carrot nose. Suddenly, a shadowy figure looms behind the trees, and an eerie growl rumbles through the air. "Did you guys hear that? What was that sound?" "Maybe it was just the wind, right?"

Pablo stammers, "It’s a snow monster! Run!" In a burst of panic, the friends scatter, leaving scarves and mittens behind as they race toward the gate. The snow crunches beneath their boots, and their frightened laughter mixes with gasps of fear. "Don’t look back! Just keep running!"

"Geo! Milli! Bot! We saw a snow monster in our backyard!" Geo, Milli, and Bot from Team Umizoomi look up from their puzzle, startled by the commotion. "A snow monster? That sounds serious. Let’s use our mighty math powers to figure this out!" "Don’t worry, we’ll help you solve this mystery," "Umirrific!"

Geo bends down, studying the tracks. "These footprints are too small for a monster. And look—there’s a trail of buttons!" Milli follows the buttons to a pile of snow near the trees. The group gathers around, shivering with excitement and nerves. "Should we see what’s under there?"

Pablo’s cousin, Benny[/@ch_9], pops up, covered in snow and giggling uncontrollably.] Benny introduces himself, cheeks flushed with laughter. "Surprise! I wanted to play snow monster and scare you guys, but I slipped and got stuck behind the snow pile!" The tension melts into relieved laughter as everyone realizes the “monster” was just a friendly prank. "Benny! You really got us good," "Next time, just join our snowball fight!"

"I’m glad the only monster here is Benny the Silly," "With teamwork, we can solve any mystery!" Everyone laughs, the fear forgotten as they share stories and make plans for more snowy adventures together. The backyard, once filled with fright, is now bright with joy and camaraderie.
