Richie and Sadie walked to Bill's Garage early next morning. They completely ditched their bikes in front of the garage door and went inside. Mike closing the garage door, Ben was putting something into this projector film.

Sadie sat next to Richie, no surprise there, and Eddie, he was furiously looking throw his fanny pack.

Bill and Beverly sat next to each other, Ben plopping down next to her. A map of Derry appeared on the projector screen, Bill got up once again and but another slide into the projector, a map of the sewers and were all the 'disappearances' occurred. "Okay." He whispered to himself. "Look," He pointed at the map, "That's where G-G-Georgie disappeared. There's the Ironworks and The Black Spot. Everywhere i-i-it happens, it's all connected by the s-s-s-sewers. And they all meet up at the-" Ben cut Bill off, "The Well House."

"It's in the house on Neilbolt Street," Stanley stated the obvious.

Richie fixed his glasses, "You mean that creepy-ass house where all the junkies and hobos like to sleep?" Eddie started to hyperventilate and grabbed his inhaler, quickly taking a hit off of it. Richie and Sadie looked at Eddie in concern.

"I hate that place. It always feels like it's watching me," Beverly added.

"That's where I saw It," Eddie said, still gasping for air, "That's where I saw the clown." Eddie looked at Bill.

Bill was still way too focused on the map, "T-T-That's where It lives." Eddie took another hit off of his inhaler.

"I can't imagine anything ever wanting to live there," Stanley said in disgust.

Eddie shot up out of his seat, "Can we stop talking about this? I-I can barely breathe! This is summer, we're kids. I can barely breathe! I'm up here having a fucking asthma attack," Eddie gasped, "I am not doing this. Sadie is not doing this!" Eddie ripped the projection screen off the wall.

"What the hell!? Put it b-b-back up," Bill said, clearly pissed off. Eddie refused. The projection machine changed slides, Sadie's eyes shot and she stood up fairly quickly,"W-What the hell?" She stuttered. Everyone looked at the machine, Bill backing away from it. Pictures of Georgie appeared. "What happened?"

"What's going on?" Stanley yelped. Eddie backed away from the screen. Pictures of Bill's family began to show up now too.

Richie grabbed Sadie's hand and protectively got in front of her. Mike stepped up, "Hold on, I got it." Mike unplugged the projector but it kept going.

More pictures of Georgie kept showing up but it stayed on this one picture of Bill and his family standing in front of the church, his mother's hair in her face. It zoomed in on Georgie, "Georgie..." Bill muttered looking at the screen.

"Bill?" Stanley said trying to get his attention. The projection machine began to zoom in on Bill's mother's face. Quickly it turned into a clown, It.

"What the fuck?!" Richie yelled, Sadie, gripped onto his hand tightly. "It's It," Bill yelled.

"What the fuck is that?! What the fuck is that?!" Richie began to freak out and back himself and Sadie away from It. "I don't fucking know!" Eddie screamed.

"Turn it off! Turn it off!" Beverly yelled.

"Yeah. Yeah, turn it off. Turn it off!" Richie yelled at Mike. Mike kicked the stand that the projector was on, the projector falling down and breaking a little. They all sighed out in relief. Finally, the terror was over, so they thought. The projector started back up again only this time it was showing It.

They all whimpered backing away from the projector and towards the garage door. Sadie was no longer behind Richie but she was trying to get her shoelace unstuck.

It popped out of the screen, Richie yelled, "Sadie!" Her shoelace was untangled.

Sadie backed away from the clown to a corner, it laughed at her madly. It was gigantic, and the teeth were razor sharp. She looked absolutely horrified.

It crawled after her and she was backed into a corner screamed and crying for help. Finally Ben opened the garage door, light flooding into the tiny garage.

Sadie sat in the corner, she covered her eyes and closed her eyes, she was crying. Richie quickly went to her side, "Hey hey hey hey, it's fine, It is gone." He hugged her, she gripped onto his shirt sniffling.

"It saw us," Eddie said shakily, "It saw us, and it knows where we are!" Eddie said, freaking out. "It always did," Bill said panting, "S-so let's g-g-g-go."

"Go?" Ben asked, "Go where?"

"Neibolt. That's w-w-where Georgie is."

"After that?" Stanley asked, completely dumbfounded.

"Yeah, it's summer. We should be outside." Richie looked at Bill, Sadie close to his side.

"If you say s-s-s-summer one more fucking time," Bill quickly got onto his bike and rode away. Sadie let go of Richie and followed what Bill did, "Sadie-"

"No this is our friend, we're not letting him do this alone." They were hot on Bill's tail, he took them to Neibolt Street.

Sadie gulped as she set her bike down, this was going to be one hell of a time.
