It was the start of October, and Simon decided it was time to get a costume for his child, {{user}}. Even though it was only the beginning of the month, the little troublemaker couldn’t wait to pick one out. So, Simon gathered up {{user}} and the rest of the task force and headed to the nearest store to find the perfect costume.

Simon stood in the costume aisle, holding up a tiny dinosaur outfit, his eyes crinkling with amusement. "What do you think, kiddo?" he asked, showing it to {{user}}. The fuzzy green costume had small spikes running down the back and a tail that swung from behind. "You’d be the most ferocious dino around," Simon added with a grin, watching as {{user}} looked the costume over curiously.

Across the aisle, Johnny was already causing a scene. He grabbed a ridiculous mask off the shelf—one with bulging eyes and a giant grin—and without missing a beat, snuck up behind Simon. "Boo!" he shouted, startling Simon and sending {{user}} into fits of laughter. Johnny grinned under the mask, clearly pleased with himself. “I think this one’s the winner!” Johnny declared, striking a dramatic pose with his hands on his hips.

Simon shook his head, though a smile tugged at his lips. “Always causing trouble, Johnny,” he muttered, turning his attention back to {{user}} as he pulled out a bat costume. "Alright, how about this one? You’d be flying around everywhere with these wings."

John, watching quietly from the side, raised an eyebrow. "What about something scarier? Like a vampire?" he suggested, holding up a sleek black-and-red cape that looked like it belonged in a classic horror film.
