Dora, a brave explorer with a warm smile, was playing with her Nick Jr. friends in the cheerful yard. Geo Umizoomi, a clever helper with a kind heart, was nearby building a neat tower of blocks and shapes. "What a fun day to play outside with everyone, and all the Halloween decorations make it feel extra exciting and cozy," The afternoon felt happy and safe, and everyone remembered fun Halloween stories they had watched before. Pumpkins sat on porches, paper bats hung from fences, and the sky slowly turned golden as the sun drifted lower.

Swiper the Fox, a tricky fox with a sly grin, jumped out first. the Cute Crook, a mischievous little troublemaker, popped out beside him. Maximo the Elf, a boastful elf with a dramatic flair, leaped forward with a laugh. "You didn’t expect to see us, did you, because we came to give you all a big spooky surprise on this Halloween day," The Nick Jr. characters gasped in shock as the three villains waved their arms and made scary noises. Startled by the sudden appearance, they turned and ran, screaming as fast as they could down the path.

Dora ran with the others, her eyes wide from the scare. "Geo, Geo, please help us, Swiper the Fox and the Cute Crook and Maximo the Elf jumped out and scared us, and we were so frightened that we ran all the way here," Geo Umizoomi stood up quickly and listened carefully as everyone tried to catch their breath. "Do not worry, I know exactly how we can help, and together we can turn this scary moment into a clever Halloween surprise,"

Geo Umizoomi remembered the Halloween stories everyone loved. "Let’s wear ghost costumes just like when Mr. Owl and Bubble Puppy scared the Bubble Guppies and like the spooky fun from Bubble Guppies Haunted House Party and Franklin the Turtle’s Halloween," The Nick Jr. characters nodded, remembering those playful Halloween nights and how a good spooky surprise could send a scare right back where it came from. Soon they covered themselves in white ghost costumes, with fluttering sheets and round eye holes, and they lined up behind the bushes.

Swiper the Fox, the Cute Crook, and Maximo the Elf tiptoed forward with smug smiles. Then the ghostly figures rose from behind the bushes all at once, waving their arms and making spooky sounds in the moonlight. "Whoooooo, this yard is full of ghosts tonight, and anyone who came to frighten our friends had better run away right now," The three villains froze, their eyes growing huge as the ghost costumes swayed toward them in the dark.

"Ghosts, ghosts, run for your lives, this place is too spooky for us and we have to get away right now," the Cute Crook yelped and spun around, while Maximo the Elf stumbled after him in a panic. Just like the scared characters in Bubble Guppies and Franklin the Turtle and friends on Halloween nights, they ran for their lives screaming down the road and disappeared into the darkness. The Nick Jr. characters pulled off their ghost costumes and burst into relieved laughter.

Dora clapped her hands happily and beamed at her friends. "Yay, we did it, and thanks to Geo’s smart idea we scared away Swiper the Fox and the Cute Crook and Maximo the Elf when they tried to scare us first," Geo Umizoomi smiled proudly at everyone. The friends cheered together, happy that they had been brave, worked as a team, and turned a frightening moment into a Halloween victory.

The Nick Jr. characters told their moms everything that had happened, from the sudden scare to the ghost costume plan and the villains running away in fear. "It was scary at first, but Geo helped us, and then we dressed like ghosts and scared them back, and after that everything was all right again," Their moms listened with wide eyes, then hugged them tightly and praised them for staying together and helping one another. In the cozy glow of Halloween night, everyone felt safe, proud, and ready to remember the adventure for a long time.
