Chapter 2 - The Ghostly Gazebo

The sun hung low in the sky as the Spirit Squad ventured into the heart of Evergreen Valley, their footsteps echoing against the cobblestone streets. Kip's heart pounded with excitement as he led his friends towards their first official mission.

Their destination? The abandoned gazebo at the edge of the town square, rumored to be haunted by the restless spirit of a jilted lover.

Atlas Stone cracked his knuckles, his muscles tense with anticipation. "I'm ready for anything. Bring it on, ghost or no ghost."

Aurora Frost bounced on her toes, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "I can't wait to meet Lady Agatha! Maybe she'll be friendly and we can have tea together!"

With Chuckles' words ringing in their ears, the Spirit Squad braced themselves and stepped into the shadowy depths of the haunted gazebo. Little did they know, their first encounter with the supernatural was about to take a hilariously unexpected turn...
