The Spooky Spectacle of the Fusion Friends
One dark Halloween night on Planet Fusion, the four Fusion mascots: VIP, Zip, Pip and Kip, decided to throw a ‘Spooky Spectacle,’ an extra-special Halloween party for their friends. They decorated the forest with glowing lanterns, spooky spider webs and bright pumpkins that smiled back at them.
But as they were setting up, something strange started to happen…
“Did you feel that chill?” Zip asked, shivering a little, though they couldn’t help but giggle. “Feels like someone’s sneaking around!”
VIP smiled confidently and replied, “There’s nothing to worry about. We’re just setting the perfect Halloween mood! But let’s stick together, just in case.”
As the friends prepared for the fun games, they heard a faint whisper floating through the air… “Whooo… is… there?” the whisper asked, as the wind rustled through the leaves.
Pip, who was always the bravest of the group, puffed up their chest and called out, “We’re the Fusion friends! Show yourself!”
Suddenly, a soft, glowing figure appeared between the trees. It looked a bit like a friendly ghost, its bright smile glowing as it floated toward them. The ghost was covered in what seemed to be little sparkling stars, twinkling like the night sky.
“Hello!” the ghost greeted them cheerfully. “I’m Glow, the Halloween spirit of Planet Fusion. Every year, I come out to make sure everyone is having a fun and spooky time. Do you mind if I join your party?”
The mascots beamed and invited Glow to join the fun. They quickly realised Glow wasn’t there to scare them but to share a bit of Halloween magic! Glow was especially interested in showing off a few Halloween tricks.
“Watch this!” Glow said, with a giggle. Glow raised their hands, and all the lanterns hanging in the trees began to float and spin. They danced in the air, lighting up the forest with magical shapes and shadows that looked like flying bats and twinkling stars.
“Whoa!” Zip exclaimed. “This is the best Halloween light show ever!”
Then Glow said, “How about a game? If you can find all five of my hidden pumpkins, I’ll grant you a special Halloween wish!”
The mascots looked at each other with excitement, ready for the challenge.
VIP led the group, keeping everyone organised as they searched around the forest. Zip zoomed ahead, their lively chatter filling the air as they spotted pumpkin after pumpkin, cheering for each find. Pip kept an eye out for anything unusual, ready to protect their friends if anything spooky came their way (although they were secretly hoping to be surprised!). And Kip, clever as always, solved Glow’s riddles about where the pumpkins might be hidden.
Finally, they found all five pumpkins! Glow clapped with delight and said, “Well done, Fusion Friends! You’ve earned your wish!”
VIP spoke up, “Our wish is for everyone on Planet Fusion to have a healthy, happy Halloween filled with joy, friendship and fun ways to stay active!”
With a gentle sparkle, Glow granted their wish, and a magical warmth spread throughout the forest. The pumpkins glowed brighter, the lanterns spun with new colours, and Glow faded away with a warm wave, whispering, “Remember, Halloween is about fun and friendship, but it’s also about staying active and healthy! Running, exploring and using your energy will help keep you strong and happy!”
The Fusion Friends had the best Halloween ever, filled with games, laughter, and just a dash of spooky magic. They returned to their village with smiles as bright as Glow’s lanterns, feeling braver, closer and ready for every Halloween adventure to come.
And every Halloween after that, they remembered their magical night with Glow, the friendly Halloween spirit, and how moving and playing together made them feel their best – because having fun, staying active and taking care of each other made every day a little bit brighter.
