"Chug! Chug! Chug!"

It was another average day in Nelson's apartment. Nelson was watching "Dug or Chug!".

It was a game show about 3 people competing to win a prize of $10,000. It plays kinda like truth or dare except you choose Dug or Chug. Dug is when you do whatever this guy named "Dug" gives you to do. It'll be something horrible or something awesome, you'll have to take the risk. Or, If you don't want to Dug, you can Chug.

Chug is when you spin a wheel to see how much water you need to chug. If you don't chug the amount the spinner says, then you'll have to Dug on top of that. You win by either chugging the most water, or by doing the most Dug challenges.

Nelson likes it when people chug. He thinks it's hilarious.

"Come on, come on!"

"I will.... Dug!" The contestant decided.

"Dang it!"

Nelson threw the remote at the TV. The TV split in two. He flinched.

"Yikes, guess I don't know my own strength."

*tap, tap, tap*

"Huh?"

Nelson looked to where the tapping came from. It was coming from his window.

Nelson got up and went to the window. He looked up, down, right, and left. There was nothing.

Then, as Nelson was turning around, he saw a red object in his peripheral vision. Nelson quickly looked behind him. It was a red balloon.

"I swear if it's what I think it is..."

Nelson recently went to the theatre with Jaiden to see the movie "it".

Nelson looked down at the ground. He saw a figure but he couldn't quite make out who or what it was. All he could make out is that it was moving.

"If that's Pennywise, I'm calling SWAT."

Nelson went back to the couch and grabbed his phone. He opened the camera app and went back to the window.

It was gone.

"It better have left."

*knock, knock, knock!*

Nelson turned around to the door's direction and did a karate pose.

PENNYWISE!?

Nelson tip-toed to the door and looked through the eye hole.

It was Pennywise! He was just standing there holding 3 red balloons.

Nelson quickly got away from the door and almost had a heart attack.

I thought Pennywise died!!??

Nelson quickly scanned the room for a hiding space.

I could hide behind the bookcase or hide under my bed. No! Too practical!

Nelson tip-toed quickly to find more hiding spots.

*knock, knock, knock!*

Pennywise knocked again.

Nelson almost peed himself.

*CRASH!*

The door was busted down.

Nelson ran into his closet.

He heard footsteps coming closer.

Nelson quickly whipped out his phone, and started to dial 911. But Nelson forgot to turn down his volume.

The footsteps stopped and then he started running.

Nelson started to panic! He was sweating palm to palm dialling 9-1-1.

"Hello, what's your emergency?"

Pennywise was too close to where he was. Nelson couldn't dare to speak except, "Pennywise" and then he quickly hung up.

Nelson prayed at this point, crying for the first time in years and then.....

*SWISH!*

Pennywise whipped open the closet doors.

Nelson sprinted out of the room as fast as he could.

He slammed the door and ran behind the couch.

Just then, five policemen burst into the room.

"Guys! He's in there!"

The policeman almost shot Nelson by the surprise.

"You gotta' be more careful," A tall policemen said.

"Yeah, yeah, Later. but first, Pennywise!"

Nelson pointed his paw at the door that which led to the room Pennywise was in.

The policemen crouched and slowly went to the door.

The five policemen went against the wall beside the door. One of the policemen did a gesture of counting down.

"3, 2, 1. Go!"

The police bashed the door open to see Pennywise trying to pull off his head. Pennywise looked over in their direction and had a surprised look.

"Get on the ground! Get on the ground!"

Slowly Pennywise layed on the ground with his hands behind his back.

The policemen held its hands behind its back.

But then, Pennywise started jerking his head.

The policemen started pulling from Pennywise's hair.

Nelson covered his eyes at this part.

*Pop!*

Pennywise's head popped off.

Nelson nearly fainted but then, he looked closely, and saw it was a mask.

*huff puff*

"Nelson!" A man screamed in anger.

It was Jaiden!

"Jaiden!?" Nelson asked in astonishment.

"You know this guy?" The shortest policeman asked.

"Yeah! He's my owner, Jaiden!"

"What's going on then, Jaiden?!" Another of the policemen asked.

"I was simply trying to get in my house. I just got back from an "it" convention."

"Why did you bust down the door?" All 5 of police asked simultaneously.

"I broke it down because this, simple cag—" Jaiden pointed to Nelson, "wouldn't let me in."

Everyone looked at Nelson.

"Don't look at me! I just saw 'it'. What would you do if your worst nightmare appeared at your door?" Nelson asked.

"He's got a point," The short policeman said, now beginning to eat a doughnut.

"Why were you throwing stuff at our window?"

"I needed to get your attention. I accidentally let go of one of my balloons and I wanted you to grab it. Before you ask why I was trying to find you, it was so you could take off my mask. It was stuck on good."

"Well now that that's cleared up, we're going to leave. I'm going to have to arrest you next time you call for a false emergency, so find out before you call."

The 5 policemen exited the building.

"Well, thanks a lot, Jaiden. You ruined my day. Get out of my room!"

Nelson pointed out of the room into the living room.

"Well, sorry if I scared you. I just wanted to be thematic."

Jaiden held out 2 fingers and motioned a peace sign. He left the room and shut the door.

Nelson turned around and jumped on his bed.
