Dora, a brave young explorer with a curious heart, walked along the path with Boots, her cheerful monkey friend in bright red boots. They had been talking and laughing, but the air suddenly felt colder, and both of them slowed down as a pale glow drifted between the trees. "Dora, I do not like that floating light at all, and I think maybe we should turn around very, very slowly before something spooky happens,"

Dora stared wide-eyed as the ghosts floated closer, their round eyes glowing and their ghostly tails swaying above the ground. "I was right all along, Boots, those really are ghosts, and now we have to run because this is much scarier than I hoped it would be," Boots grabbed Dora's hand, and together they turned and ran as fast as they could down the path.

Geo Umizoomi, a smart and helpful friend who loved solving problems, looked up from his table when Dora and Boots came racing toward him, breathless and frightened. "Geo Umizoomi, we saw real ghosts by the trees, and they floated right out of the mist, and Boots and I ran all the way here because we did not know what else to do," "Do not worry, Dora and Boots, if ghosts are scaring you, then we will think of a clever plan together and send those ghosts running away instead,"

Boots pointed at the costumes with sudden excitement, remembering they had once lost them during a game and never found them until now. "Dora, those are our lost ghost costumes, and if we put them on, maybe we can surprise the ghosts so much that they get scared and run away from us," Geo Umizoomi nodded with a bright smile and helped them shake out the cloth, smooth the eye holes, and get ready for their spooky trick.

Dora, Boots, and Geo Umizoomi jumped out together in their ghost costumes, lifting their arms high and swaying in the moonlight. "Boo, boo, boo, we are the scariest ghosts in the whole night, and we have come to surprise anyone who tries to scare our friends," The real ghosts gasped, wobbled in fright, and then turned all at once to flee into the darkness, terrified by the ghost costumes and the loud spooky cry.

Dora clapped her hands and smiled from ear to ear. "Yay, our plan worked, and the ghosts got scared by ghosts, which is one of the funniest things that has ever happened on one of our adventures," "Yay, we were scared at first, but then we were brave, and now the ghosts are the ones running for their lives," "Yay, teamwork and a smart idea saved the day, and that is why helping friends always feels so wonderful,"

Dora hurried in with Boots beside her and told her mom all about the ghosts, the running, and the clever costume trick that saved the day. "Mom, Boots and I got scared by ghosts, and I screamed that I was right all along, and then we ran to Geo Umizoomi, and he helped us use our lost ghost costumes to say boo and scare the ghosts away," Dora's mom listened with amazement as Dora, Boots, and Geo Umizoomi ended the story with happy smiles, still proud of their spooky, silly victory.
