"Oh hey Stany, yeah we finally came down to who's next and it just so happens to be Richie." Greeted Lexi the only sane person besides Bev, Virgil, Ben, and Mike.
"Isn't this difficult to do?" Stan asked.
"When you first said it was difficult Lexi came up with an idea. We put Richie in a coffin to get him over his fear, simple." Said Mike. "But then Richie and Eddie started to freak out."
"Ok that explains. Wait, where's Bill?" Asked Stan.
"Sleeping."Said Bev.
"Ok, Richie, you're up, i would like to reiterate, you will be fine," Virgil said "i mean, look at Stan, he's not even phased."
"Yeah, says the one who curled up on the floor because of spiders!" Richie yells.
"That wasn't a controlled environment, this is." Mike responds.
"Anyhow, you're going to have to face your fear one way or another, and this is definitely the safest." Ben continues.
"Lets get Bill and get in the car, we need to stuff you in a coffin." Bev says trotting off. As they got in the car Stan thought that Bill looked too peaceful to wake up so he laid him on his lap. Which of course caused Lexi to fangirl but in a silent way.
"Richie you do know that we will all be waiting right outside for you. But just so you know you will need to change your clothes before I give you a hug." said Eddie while he laid on his side.
"Be careful Chee!" Eddie shouts after Richie when we finally found a coffin to put him in.
"I will Spaghetti." he shouts back, shaking a little. He lays in the coffin and Mike closes the lid, reassure him that we are all right there, and walks back to the rest of us. Richie tries to slow his breathing down. I'm not actually dead, im ok, i'm alive he thinks to himself, it may be scary, but like Mike said, it's a controlled environment and they were all outside. The coffin wasn't as bad as he thought it would be after he established that he wasn't dead. Then he remembered Pennywise using this against him.
Flashback
The house on Neibolt is scary as it is, it's worse when you go in alone. There is no reason for me to be there, but I felt like I was being pulled in. When I actually got inside I started exploring, before I went upstairs I saw a missing poster for myself. I almost left, but I decided not to. That was a bad idea. I saw Eds calling me into a secluded room and he seemed scared. I ran towards him to try and help and the door shut and locked behind me.
"Fuck." I said, still trying to open the door. I finally give up and turn around trying to see if there's another exit but what i see is nothing of the sort. At the end of the room is a coffin that has the missing poster from earlier and on the inside of the lid is written in what i think was blood, FOUND. I slowly walked over to it. When I got to the coffin and looked inside I almost threw up. In there was me, dead. I had worms and maggots in my face. I slammed the lid closed and backed up and then a worse thing happened. That fucking clown popped out of the coffin. I turned on my heels and ran for the door, throwing myself against it repeatedly. It was getting closer and it seemed like i made not progress on the door but when he was inches from me it broke open and i slammed it back shut in his face. I ran down the stairs and out the door, not looking back til i was about to turn the corner on Neibolt and Jackson.
End of flashback
This freaked Richie out, but he kept his cool remembering it was all controlled. Mike came over and opened the coffin, no longer hearing Richie panicking. When Richie stepped out he saw everyone looking at him.
