Hello and welcome to the- Wait why am I on the first line?

Josh: Since it's going up on YOUR profile, I figured I might as well let YOU belabeledas 'Me', for once. Want a balloon?

Me: Uh... No.

Josh: Oh, come on! We all float down here.

Me: Josh, your imitation of It is terrible.

Josh: Oh, fine!

Chapter 1: Trouble in Derry

"Thank you."

I jumped off the Charizard, Josh soon following, along with Fenn. I waved goodbye as the Charizard took off. I forced myself to smile.

"Remind me to kill Josh later."

"Hey! I heard that!" Fenn laughed.

"Relax. We're just going to visit an old friend."

"Yeah, right." Fenn sighed. "C'mon, let's just go..." We started to walk away, but were interrupted when Josh let out a yelp of fear, accidentally jumping onto my tail. "Sorrysorrysorrysorrysorrysorry!" He yelped as I spun around, only for me to be surprised when I saw a clown.

"Hey kids."

Josh seemed to be terrified of the clown. "Want a balloon?" The clown held up a bundle of balloons. "N-N-No thank you m-mister, h-h-hey g-guys, l-l-l-let's get out o-o-of here..." "And they float!" I looked up at they clown. "They ALL float!" "U-U-Uh, no thank you... G-Guy's, l-l-let's g-g-go..." And, right away, I was being dragged away. "Beep, beep, Joshua!" Josh froze, before he pulled me up, and started to run. I chased him, along with Fenn.

Josh's POV

By the time the others reached me, I was out of breath. I kept muttering "It..." under my breath.

"Hey!"

I turned just in time to see two Pokemon running down from a bridge. "You! You did this!" They charged at us. Unsure of what to do, I jumped to the side, and the first Pokemon changed his course to get at me. 'Crud.' But then...

"Hey! Leave him alone!"

There was the sound of running. "Oh well, if it isn't The Loser Seven! Hahahahahaha!" A rock hit the Pokemon in the face.

"Shut up, Henry!"

Henry walked over to another one, who I had to turn around to see. I began to charge a Thunderbolt. "Hey, idiot!" I yelled. Henry spun around to look at me, and I release the was sent flying into the sky, yelling "I'll get you for this!" The other Pokemon, a Vulpix, looked at me. "Thanks." He said. I nodded. "No problem. I'm Joshua Darkwood, but just call me Josh." The Vulpix nodded. "'Kay. I'm Bill. This is Ben, Eddie, his brother Richie, this is Beverly, Mike, and this is Stan." Fenn walked over to me. "I'm Fenn, and my friend back there is Spark. Nice to meet you!" She then turned around. "Spark, get over here!"

"Beep, beep, Richie!"

I froze. Richie started to shake. I spun around. It was there. "R-R-R-R-R-R..." Bill stuttered. Since I knew he wouldn't finish, I finished for him. "RUN!"

When we finally stopped running, my legs felt like they were on fire. And then- of course, -the first thing that happens when we stop is that I fall into a pond. Fenn sighed and pulled me out of the pond, and it was the first time I could actually get a good look at where we were. Speaking of where we were... "Guys... Do you have any idea where we are?"

Oooooooooooh!

Josh: *sigh*

Fenn: Shush!

Me: *sighs, again*
