    James, the daredevil of the group, was the first one to step into the abandoned Chuck E. Cheese building. The silence was unsettling but he kept his cool.

    Lisa followed closely, her heart pounding in her chest. The place was creepy, and she didn't like the vibe it was giving off.

    They explored the main game area, cautiously stepping over the broken glass and scattered tokens. The once lively arcade machines now stood silent and lifeless.

    Suddenly, an arcade machine flickered to life, startling them. The air turned cold and they heard a child's laughter echoing around the room.

    The party room was next. The sight of the old birthday cake and deflated balloons gave Lisa chills. They felt an ominous presence looming over them.

    Suddenly, the lights flickered and they heard a soft whisper, 'You're not invited.' It was enough to send them running towards the exit.

    As they reached for the exit door, it slammed shut on its own. They were trapped in the haunted Chuck E. Cheese.

    Upon returning, they found a ghostly figure of a child hovering above the birthday cake. 'It's my party,' it whispered.

    They apologized for intruding and promised to leave the place undisturbed. The ghost smiled, and the exit door creaked open.
