I en hyggelig gade i den sikrede boligområde pyntede græskar hoveder indgangene til de pæne huse.

On a cozy street in the secure residential area, pumpkin heads adorned the entrances to the nice houses.

Løvfald dækkede fortovene, og luften lugtede af efterår og Halloween.

Leaves covered the sidewalks, and the air smelled of autumn and Halloween.

Niels stod ved køkkenbordet med en farverig folder i hånden.

Niels stood at the kitchen table with a colorful brochure in hand.

"Det bliver en fantastisk tur til Tivoli," sagde han optimistisk til Astrid og Mathias, der sad ved bordet.

"It will be a fantastic trip to Tivoli," he said optimistically to Astrid and Mathias, who were sitting at the table.

"Hva' med rutsjebanerne?"

"What about the roller coasters?"

spurgte Mathias med et glimt i øjet.

asked Mathias with a twinkle in his eye.

Han var altid klar til en sjov oplevelse og elskede Halloween.

He was always ready for a fun experience and loved Halloween.

"Jeg har styr på det hele," svarede Niels med et grin.

"I've got it all figured out," replied Niels with a grin.

"Vi tager på Halloween-attraktionerne først, så er der tid til både rutsjebaner og lækkerier."

"We'll hit the Halloween attractions first, and then there will be time for both roller coasters and treats."

Astrid kiggede lidt nervøst.

Astrid looked a bit nervous.

"Jeg har hørt, at rutsjebanerne er temmelig høje," sagde hun stille.

"I've heard that the roller coasters are quite high," she said quietly.

Astrid blev altid lidt nervøs, når det kom til højder.

Astrid always got a bit nervous when it came to heights.

"Du behøver ikke tage dem, hvis du ikke har lyst," forsikrede Niels.

"You don't have to go on them if you don't want to," assured Niels.

"Der er masser af spændende ting at lave."

"There's plenty of exciting things to do."

Da de ankom til Tivoli, mærkede de straks stemningen.

When they arrived at Tivoli, they immediately felt the atmosphere.

Folk hastede frem og tilbage, og der var mange i Halloween-kostumer.

People hurried back and forth, and many were in Halloween costumes.

"Wow, her er crowded," bemærkede Mathias.

"Wow, it's crowded here," noted Mathias.

Niels nikkede, men tog styringen med planerne.

Niels nodded but took charge of the plans.

De gik hen til en velbesøgt attraktion: et spøgelseshus.

They headed to a popular attraction: a haunted house.

"Lad os starte her," foreslog Niels.

"Let's start here," suggested Niels.

Astrids øjne blev store, men hun nikkede modigt.

Astrid's eyes widened, but she nodded bravely.

Køen til spøgelseshuset snoede sig, og hjertet bankede.

The line to the haunted house snaked around, and the heart was pounding.

"Vi kan gøre det," sagde Astrid, mens hun tog Niels' hånd.

"We can do it," said Astrid, as she took Niels' hand.

Mathias var lidt foran, og vinkede dem fremad.

Mathias was a bit ahead and waved them forward.

Spændingen steg, da de endelig trådte ind i det dunkle rum fyldt med uhyggelige lyde og overraskelser.

The excitement mounted as they finally stepped into the darkened room filled with eerie sounds and surprises.

Astrid tog en dyb indånding, mens de bevægede sig gennem rummets skræmmende kroge.

Astrid took a deep breath as they moved through the room's scary corners.

Da de nåede udgangen, var hendes smil stort og tilfreds.

When they reached the exit, her smile was big and satisfied.

"Det var slet ikke så slemt!"

"It wasn't that bad at all!"

sagde hun.

she said.

Med spøgelserne bag sig, bevægede de sig videre til de forskellige boder og dekorative haver.

With the ghosts behind them, they moved on to the various booths and decorative gardens.

Niels var glad for at se Astrids selvsikkerhed blomstre.

Niels was happy to see Astrid's confidence blossom.

Solen gik ned over de farverige Tivoli-lys, da trioen slentrede gennem parken.

The sun set over the colorful Tivoli lights as the trio strolled through the park.

Niels havde indset, at selvom ikke alt gik som planlagt, var dagen en succes, fordi de havde været sammen og skabt minder.

Niels had realized that even though not everything went as planned, the day was a success because they had been together and created memories.

I takt med at de forlod parken, blev en ny selvtillid og forståelse født fra de Halloween-fyldte oplevelser.

As they left the park, a new confidence and understanding was born from the Halloween-filled experiences.

"Næste gang, måske en lille rutsjebane," sagde Astrid skælmsk.

"Next time, maybe a small roller coaster," said Astrid mischievously.

Niels smilede bredt, lettet og mere inspireret end nogensinde.

Niels smiled broadly, relieved and more inspired than ever.
