The next day, I wake up from my night-long nap and realize I'm in the well house on Neibolt street. At first, I'm confused about last night, then I remember what Pennywise and I did as soon as I see my clown suit on the floor. I get up and put it back on. I disappear and reappear downstairs. I walk around the house and find the stairs to the basement. I head down the stairs and find Pennywise sitting there, snacking on something. He looks up, sees me, and grins.
"Well, hello, Penny."
"What on earth are you eating?"
"A child. This one had coulrophobia, so it was easy to scare it." He giggles. "So very tasty. I love the taste of fear."
"Yeah, that's nice." I disappear and reappear at a baseball game. I hide beneath the bleachers and send out a firefly, just like what Pennywise did. I just sit there in the dark, waiting. Then, I hear it. A kid giggling. The sound gets closer and the firefly turns around a corner, straight towards me. It lands on a pole and the little girl tries to catch it. I flies off and comes closer. I reach out, grab it, and pull back as the little girl jumps back.
"Who's there?"
I uncover the firefly and smile. "Hello, Izzy. That's what your friends call you, right?"
"Yeah. But my full name's--"
"Isabella Anne Phillips."
"How do you know my name?"
"I know everyone's name."
"What are you doing under the bleachers?"
"I was supposed to meet some kids down here. But they never came. No one ever wants to play with me." I shake my head. "No one ever wants to play with the clown."
"I'll play with you. If you'll play with me. No one ever plays with me. Everyone makes fun of me on the playground."
"Why?"
"Because I don't have any hair. I was born without it. I don't know what the disease is, though."
"Oh, that's not nice. I'll be your friend. As long as you don't make fun of how I look."
"You are a little scary, but that's alright. As long as I have a friend."
"Well, we can't be friends if you continue to stand that far away. You have to get closer. I'll do a magic trick to make us friends forever. Just a little kiss on the cheek."
"Okay." She moves closer and closer. She turns her cheek towards me. "Okay, I'm ready." She stands there, with her cheek facing towards me as I drool all over myself. "Um, hello? What about the kiss? To make us friends."
"Scared?"
"A little. I don't like strangers, but I want a friend."
"Alright. Here goes." I move a little closer to her. I sense her fear growing for some reason. I move closer and smile with sharp teeth. She screams. I bite her cheek and rip off half her face. She falls to the ground and I hear adults coming. I disappear as they round the corner, leaving a balloon in my place.

Five months pass and I notice that my belly in slightly bigger than before. I turn into my human form and go to the hospital. I schedule an appointment and go sit in the waiting room. After twenty minutes, I'm called in. I follow the doctor and get an ultrasound done. After the appointment, I take the information I got and head to Neibolt street. I walk up to the well house and push open the door. I change back into a clown and go inside. I close the door and walk around. I go up the stairs and down the hallway.
"Pennywise?" I look around. "Are you even here?" I see movement out of the corner of my eye and turn around. "Pennywise, you aren't very sneaky." I sigh. "I know that you're behind me. I'm not stupid." I turn around and he smiles at me. "You realize that you can't scare me, right?"
"What's these papers from?" He grabs them and looks at them.
"Oh, um, they're from the hospital. Um...I'm pregnant."
He drops the papers and looks at me. "You what?"
"I'm pregnant."
His smile spreads into a grin.
"Okay Pennywise. I get it. You're happy." I sigh. "It'll be born in October." I rub my belly. "I'm hoping on the thirty-first."
He just continues to grin.
"You aren't going to stop grinning, are you?" I step closer and wrap my arms around his ruffle-covered neck. I lean in and kiss his cheek. "You're so funny. And I'm sure you'll be a great father."221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfNr6uAY2o
He pulls me closer and kisses my forehead. He smiles. "I can't wait. Another wonderful clown in the world."
"Oh, yes. Now the number of missing kids is really going to skyrocket." I smile. "Oh, and I've also got to pay the Losers a visit. I'm going to wait a month, though. So I can let them in for the wonderful surprise."
