Little Bill is busy stacking blocks while Dora looks over a map of their neighborhood. Nella the Princess Knight polishes her tiny armor, and Geo Umizoomi fiddles with a gadget. Laughter and friendly chatter fill the air as they share stories of their latest adventures. "I wonder what exciting things we'll find today!" "Let’s explore the attic after snack time. Maybe there’s treasure!"

Nella the Princess Knight tiptoes ahead, sword ready, as Dora shines her flashlight into the shadows. Suddenly, a pale, wispy figure floats out from behind a trunk, its sheet fluttering eerily. "Did you see that? There’s a ghost!" "Run! Run for your lives!"

Dora clings to Little Bill, eyes wide with fright. Nella the Princess Knight tries to keep her composure, but even her courage wavers. Geo Umizoomi trips over a rug, scrambling to his feet. "We have to tell someone! What if it follows us?" "Let’s find help!"

Grandma Alice[/@ch_5], a kindly older woman tending her flower garden.] Little Bill stammers out their story, gesturing wildly toward the house. Dora adds details about the ghost’s appearance, while Geo Umizoomi nervously glances over his shoulder. "Oh my dears, let’s take a look together. Sometimes things aren’t what they seem."

Grandma Alice[/@ch_5] as she leads the way with a confident stride. The spooky figure lies crumpled near the trunk; as the flashlight beam reveals more, everyone gasps.] Grandma Alice lifts the sheet, revealing Max, Little Bill’s mischievous older brother, giggling beneath. A pile of blankets and a feather duster complete his “ghost” disguise. "Gotcha! I just wanted to give you all a little scare." "Max! You really had us running for our lives!"

Max[/@ch_6], some shaking their heads, others giggling at his prank. The evening sun floods through the window, making the dust sparkle.] Grandma Alice hugs everyone, reassuring them that sometimes fears are only shadows, and together, they’re brave enough for anything. Little Bill smiles, promising to be on the lookout for more tricks in the future. "Next time, we’ll be ready for any ghost—real or not!" "And maybe Max will help us with the treasure hunt instead."
