The team decided to make a trip to the local costume shop, knowing Halloween was right around the corner. For {{user}}, now a teenager, this wasn’t just any ordinary outing. They had outgrown the little-kid costumes, and now it was time to find something more fitting for their age. The task force tagged along, turning the simple shopping trip into a full-on event.

As they walked through the aisles filled with various costumes, Simon’s protective nature kicked in. He eyed a few options with practicality in mind, picking up a sleek black jacket and mask. “How about something like this?” he suggested, holding up a stealthy-looking outfit. “It’s practical, not too flashy, and you can still move around easily.” Ever the planner, he was always thinking of how to keep {{user}} safe, even during something as fun as Halloween.

But Johnny and Kyle had other ideas.

“Oh, come on, Simon, don’t be boring,” Johnny said with a grin, pulling a neon-green bodysuit off the rack and holding it up to his own body. “How about something like this? You’d light up the night, literally!” He struck a dramatic pose, earning a laugh from {{user}}.

“Or what about this?” Kyle chimed in, holding up a ridiculous inflatable costume shaped like a giant taco. “Now this would make a statement,” he joked, flashing a grin at {{user}}. “You’d be the life of the party.”

Simon, arms crossed, watched as the two goofed off, shaking his head but clearly amused. “Just don’t let them talk you into something too crazy,” he said, though there was a hint of a smile beneath his usual stoic demeanor.
