Hal stepped into the Halloween store cautiously, taking glances at the "fake" skeleton in the display glass. Ever since that small incident he had, he'd been debating whether to visit the store or not--it seemed like a good place to try out his powers.
As he walked by the aisles, he jumped at every motion-activated prop; he looked left and right to make sure that nothing was reaching out to him or following him when he wasn't looking. Either he needed to control his powers more or his father had a secret sense of humor. He stopped at the end of an aisle when a skeleton's eyes glowed red as he stood in front of it. It was making a groaning noise and, curious, Hal poked its eyes. And the skeleton lifted its hand to poke his eyes.
With a cry, Hal stumbled back and hurried off to a different aisle. He glanced around to make sure no one noticed his little scene there. He peaked out from his aisle and down the row, and his eyes grew when he saw a raven-haired girl with her back to him. But he recognized her anywhere. With a grin on his face, he grabbed a Scream mask from a shelf and quietly crept towards her. Once he was right behind her, he took a deep breath and clamped his hands over her shoulders. "Boo!" he cried near her ear.
