Dora and Boots are exploring a winding path, their lantern casting a warm glow. Suddenly, they spot the ghost swooping down and grabbing Geo Umizoomi, who lets out a startled cry. "Dora! Did you see that? The ghost took Geo!" "We have to get help, Boots! Run!"

Dora[/@ch_1] and Boots dash through tangled undergrowth. Dew sparkles on the grass, and distant owls hoot. They reach a cozy, warmly lit cottage where Geo Umizoomi’s mom is tending a flower bed.] Dora, breathless, bursts out her story. "Geo was taken by a ghost! We saw it in the woods!" "Please help us! We don’t know where the ghost went!" Geo’s mom, a clever inventor with a gentle smile, grabs her magical flashlight. "Don’t worry. We’ll get Geo back together. Follow me!"

Geo’s mom[/@ch_4] draws a map in the dirt, her flashlight illuminating secret pathways and a hidden cave where the ghost might be hiding.] Dora shivers but nods bravely. "If we work together, we can scare that ghost away!" "Let’s use the magic flashlight and make loud noises. Ghosts don’t like to be scared!" Geo’s mom hands out shiny bells and clappers, and together they sneak toward the cave.

Geo Umizoomi[/@ch_3]. Shadows dance on the walls as the rescue team approaches.] Dora and Boots leap from behind a boulder, shaking their bells. "Boo! Go away, ghost!" Geo’s mom shines her magical flashlight, casting rainbow beams across the ghost’s face. The ghost shrieks and drops Geo Umizoomi.

Geo Umizoomi[/@ch_3] both go pale with fright.] The ghost wails and flees, dragging Geo Umizoomi by the hand. "Run! Dragons!" The dragons roar, sending both the ghost and Geo Umizoomi scrambling out of the cave and vanishing into the night. Dora and Boots peek out, wide-eyed but safe.

Geo’s mom[/@ch_4]'s cottage, safe and relieved. Birds sing, and the air is warm and bright.] "We did it, Boots! We scared away the ghost and Geo is safe!" "That was the scariest adventure ever, but we worked together!" Dora finds her mom tending the garden and runs to tell her everything. "Mom! You won’t believe what happened last night!" The friends share a laugh, grateful for teamwork and a brand-new day.
