It is getting colder outside and indoor practices have started.
Bernice gets home from hockey and wants to surprise Papa Bear, but Cookie breaks her concentration.
After talking to Papa and having some hot cocoa, Bernice gets ready to go to Gertrude's house for tea.
When she arrives, they chat, eat, and spend a great afternoon together.
Bernice has tea with Gertrude.
Bernice closed the front door as quietly as she could, dropped her big gym bag, and sat down to take off her sneakers.
She was trying to be super quiet, which was tough because she felt both giggly and frozen solid.
She had just come home from her second-ever hockey practice and was focused on practicing her spooky surprises.
Halloween was coming, and she was determined to be spooky this year.
She could hear Papa Bear humming in the kitchen, and the house smelled like the yummiest cookies ever.
This isn't fair, she thought as she tiptoed toward the kitchen.
With this smell, my stomach will start growling, and sometimes it's so loud it scares Cookie away.
She took a few more silent steps.

Papa Bear must not know I'm here, she thought.
But someone did.
Cookie came trotting around the corner, just as Bernice was about to spring her surprise.
Bernice quickly put a finger to her lips and whispered, shh.
Then she took two final steps and jumped into the kitchen yelling, whoo!
