Richie woke up at 8:23am at the quarry. Eddie's foot had stopped bleeding from last night and he was still there, peacefully resting his head on Richie's stomach.

Beverly's dress was soaked with dry blood. Richie slowly took the dress off of Eddie's foot, to reveal a terrible looking cut that made his heart jump. Eddie shivered, snuggling up to Richie a little closer. He slowly fell back asleep.

"For the love of God," Ben groaned, talking on the phone with Bill, "I don't want to go bike riding today, I'm sick! I don't feel good! I'm pooped!" Bill scoffed. "Okay, okay. I'll s-s-stop bothering you about r-riding bikes today. Get be-be-better." Bill hung up, and Ben put a warm wet rag on his forehead to warm himself up.

Bill rode his bike back down to the quarry to see if Richie and Eddie were still there. They weren't. They were both down at Richie's place. He continued his bike ride, and suddenly stopped. He looked down at his bike handles and back up at the Neibolt house. "Billy..." he heard. Whispers that gave him chills down his spine.

"Where are you, Billy?" A tender and small voice said, coming from inside the house. "G-Georgie?" Bill got up from his bike, throwing it on the ground and going toward the house. The whispers got louder, and now he heard not only Georgie. He was now hearing Betty Ripsom, Patrick Hockstetter, even Henry Bowers?

He saw a flash of yellow run across him, along with a tall man with blonde hair and a red t-shirt with the sleeves ripped off. Bill, curious yet afraid, followed the strange humans. He couldn't figure out where they went. In the sewer? In the main room? Upstairs? Bill looked all over the place, and finally found them upstairs in the hallway.

Georgie? Bowers? Is that really you? Henry clutched the knife in his hand, and laughed psychotically. Georgie on the other hand, stared into Bill's eyes, making Bill cry a little. He would do anything for Georgie to be back home.

"Billyyyyyyy..." Bowers growled, his eye sockets suddenly turning black along with Georgie's. They both screamed blood curdling screams, as Henry got his eyes back, but they were red and yellow. Georgie began to melt into a big puddle of blood. Henry soon was into his form that the losers were familiar with-Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

Bill started backing up when Pennywise started showing his razor sharp teeth that could cut anyone in 0.2 seconds. The clown opened his mouth, and before taking a huge bite into Bill's face, he ran away as fast as he could, screaming and getting onto his bike, driving off to find Beverly.
