Wow! Look at that glowing ball! It bounced right into my room! It looks like it's made of rainbows! "Dad! Dad!" shouted Liam. Dad came running in. "What is it, Liam? What's all the excitement about?" he asked. Liam pointed. "Look! It's a magic rainbow ball!" Dad chuckled. "It does look pretty magical," he agreed. Just then, the ball started to shake! It rolled around and around, then suddenly stopped. It pointed towards the window. "Maybe it wants us to follow it?" wondered Liam.
Dad opened the window. The ball zoomed out, leaving a glittery trail behind it. It flew over the park, past the bakery, and all the way to the edge of town. Then, it stopped in front of a big, old castle! The castle was made of grey stone and had tall towers that touched the clouds. It looked spooky and exciting at the same time.
As they got closer, the castle doors creaked open with a BOOOM! Liam held onto his dad's hand tight. "Don't worry, Liam," Dad said. "It's probably just the wind." Inside, the castle was full of cobwebs and dusty furniture. Suddenly, a bright light filled the room, and a unicorn appeared! It was white as snow with a shiny, golden horn.
"Greetings!" the unicorn neighed. "Welcome to Enchanted Castle! I'm Sparkle. We've been expecting you." Liam's eyes opened wide. A real-life unicorn! This was the best day ever! "Why are we here, Sparkle?" asked Dad. "The castle needs your help!" Sparkle explained. "Our annual Spooky Sports Day is coming up, and we need a brave kid and their dad to compete."
Liam was super excited. He loved sports! He liked to run and jump and play basketball with his dad. Sparkle explained the games. There was Ghostly Gallop, where they had to ride broomsticks around the castle. Then there was Pumpkin Pass, where they had to toss pumpkins to each other without letting any spooky bats snatch them.
First up was Ghostly Gallop! Liam climbed onto his broomstick and held on tight. He felt himself lifting off the ground! "Woohoo!" he shouted as he zoomed past spooky ghosts and giggling goblins. Dad laughed, following close behind. They flew past cobweb curtains and around creaky chandeliers. Liam was having so much fun!
Next was Pumpkin Pass. Liam and Dad stood at opposite ends of a room filled with fluttering bats. They tossed the pumpkins back and forth, trying to avoid the bats. One swooped down, trying to grab a pumpkin, but Liam was too quick! He caught it just in time and threw it back to Dad.
Liam and Dad won game after game. They even taught the unicorns how to play basketball! Finally, Spooky Sports Day came to an end. Liam and Dad were tired but very happy. They helped the unicorns have a great day! "Thank you for all your help!" neighed Sparkle. "You were amazing!" She gave Liam a big unicorn hug and handed him a medal that sparkled with rainbow colors.
Then, with a poof of glittery smoke, Liam and Dad were back in Liam's room. The magic ball was gone. "Wow! That was the spookiest, sportiest, most fun day ever!" exclaimed Liam. "It sure was," agreed Dad. Liam snuggled into bed, his special medal clutched tight in his hand. He dreamt of unicorn friends and Spooky Sports Day. It was the best adventure ever!
