IT was the STRANGEst THING

=~•The Beginning•~=

Hey guys! please read this, I have some things to say before this starts.

First, I'm not featuring all the Losers in the entire fanfic because I can't handle writing that many people at once. Second, I'm not that good at writing jokes and one-liners, so if Richie's character isn't as funny as you remember then that's why.
Also, I may reuse some one-liners from the movie to keep his character similar.

"Truth or dare," Beverley asks Bill as she sits on the rock beside him.

It was a warm August day in Derry and the Losers Club was relaxing on the rocks after swimming the quarry.
"um...T-Truth" Bill says as he turns to look her way.

"Yeah Bill, spill all your dirty secrets," Richie says with a smirk. "Oh get your head out of the gutter" Eddie spits as Beverly rolls her Eyes.

"what do you think happened its layer?" she wonders.

Ever since the fateful day when the losers stopped the evil clown that had been killing kids in their town, they never went back into the sewers or talked out what would happen to his layer.

"Oh... I-I'm not s-sure" Bill looks down at the Ground. "Did the cops ever find it?" Mike wonders. "No, we're the only ones who know it's whereabouts" Ben chimes in.
"We should check it out one of these days" Richie suggests. "Let's not and say we did" Eddie cuts in before anyone could agree to the idea. "yeah that place will forever give me the heebie-jeebies" Mike shivers at the thought of it.

=~• Two days Later•~=

"G-Guys... S-S-Shut Up!" Bill waves his arms in the air to make everyone listen. A moment later the losers shut up because they realized what Bill was shushing them for.

"This has been the third missing kid this month, we have no clue where these kids are disappearing to but the sharif is hard on the case," The news lady says.

"pour kids... Wonder where they ended up" The man working the ice cream stand said as he published the already clean counter.

There's only one ice cream shop in town. It's one of the losers' favorite hang out spots during the hots of summer. Within the month the group has shifted and set on their usuals. So now the owner Jerry doesn't even need to ask, he just knows.

"The last time kids disappeared like this was when..." Stan says as he lowers his voice. "No... It only... well it should only come back every 27 years" Ben says in a confused voice. "It's barely even been a month!" Eddie sighs. "N-No... It can't be" Mike shakes his head. "W-Wouldn't this b-be the perfect reason to go... " Bill says. "No way in hell am I going back to that hell hole" Richie stands up but catches Jerry's attention. Before the worker gets anymore suspicious Richie sits back down. "Yeah... I don't know..." Stanley hesitates.

"W-What a-a-about you?" Bill nudges Beverly as he snaps her out of her thoughts. "I don't know... I mean... I guess" She shrugs. Not sure what to say. Bill looks around at the rest of them. He catches Eddie's eye. "No. No! Last time we went there it was to face down with some psychotic..." Eddie slaps his hand over Richie's mouth. "Okay, if we're going to talk about it, can we at least go somewhere more private" Eddie complains.

The group quickly finishes their icecream then bikes down to the quarry where they gather up in the circle.

"Okay... So why should we go back to the sewers" Stanly starts then Bill chimes in. "T-To s-see if it is s-still... Still k-killing kids". "What if he is? What if we can't kill it this time?" Richie Throws arms up in the air. "But what if he's not and we go out there for nothing?" Ben adds. "Then we know it's just stupid kids going missing" Beverly crosses her arms over her chest. "I'm sorry guys... But count me out. I really don't think this will end well" Mike says as he takes a step back. "Yeah, guys... Sorry but my stomach still isn't 100%. The last thing I need is to get in infected but whatever crap is down there" Ben says as he puts his hand over the plays where Henry Bowers attempted to carve his name in Ben's stomach. Eddie pats Ben's shoulder. "Good choice," He says to Ben.
