A young cub bear named: kit cloudkicker, he put on his yellow rain boots with matching coat and hat, It is a rainy day in duckberg.

He heads out the door and yells out: "bye ma' I'm going to be outside"

"You be careful mister, don't get lost ok"

"Ok bye mom"

He takes out a paper boat, there was a writing on it and it spelled: s. s. Launchpad & kit cloudkicker.

"Captain kit ready to aboard the s. s. LP and kit cloudkicker, set corse to east" he sets the boat In the stream.

Kit races down the street past dark houses after his paper-boat which was given to him as a gift, it sliced along a gutter swollen with rushing rainwater toward the intersection.

But as he chased his boat, the Boat sails on....

But then...

"No!" He saw it slipped through the drains, he tries to reach out for it but when he looks deep, He peers into the storm drain, water falling into darkness. A dank hollow sound comes from within, the boat kicking in and out of the shadows.

Kit snakes his arm through the grate, reaching for the boat, his nose pressed against the curb. Just as he's about to get it when large yellow glowing creepy eyes appear.

"AH" it startled kit a bit.

"Hello kit"

Kit looks around, hoping someone else is around to hear this. It's just him and the torrential rain.

"How-how do you know my name" kit asked as he was a spooked but the strange person in the sewers.

"Did you lose something, say a....boat..."

Kit looks back at the drain. And sees his boat, Deep inside there, lingering just on the edge of the shadows...IS A CLOWN.

"Yes...can I have my boat back"

"It's a nice boat...it Floats"

It was no ordinary clown...but something more old world, freakish, like that of a green and purple suit with orange hair...

"How did you get in the sewer?" Kit asked.

"Why a flood few the circus and I got thrown in the drains, you like circuses don't you"

Kit nervously nodded his head, "yeah...I bet you do, clowns, acrobatics, animals, You look like a nice boy. I'll bet you have a lot of friends.

"Yeah my best friend's name is Launchpad mcquack, he's real funny, he crashes a lot but still he tells good jokes, we laughed alit, do things together, we known each other since elementary school...he was the one that made me that boat you have"

"What this boat right here"

"Yeah he made it for me last summer"

Kit glances at the paper boat, now kicking between the clown gnarly white feet.

The clown continues to held up the boat.

"He must be a good friend, Your best best friend...you're only...so was this his boat?"

"It was But He made it for me"

A big grin swells across the clowns face.

"That's a good friend...reminds me of a friend I once had...Where is he?"

"Oh he went with his family on a vacation trip in the Bahamas"

"Do you miss him"

"Yeah...I do"

"Let me cheer you up. When he comes back, I'll bring you both to the circus"

"Nah...He won't want to go"

"Why not? There's cotton candy and
Elephants and all the balloons your best friend could ever want"

"He doesn't like clowns, he's very afraid of clown, he says they scare him and creep him out...I don't blame him"

The clown's face turns, a dawning awareness.

" Well you don't do you?" Kit shrugs.

"I'll take just you then"

"I can't, i don't wanna betrayed my best friend Launchpad, we go to pilot class together, we have each others back"

"You have a nice friendship there kid...good heart"

"What's your name" kit asked.

"Why my name is Paddywack, Paddywack to my friends. What do they call you?"

"But I should probably go now...my folks say I'm not supposed to talk to strangers"

"But kit...we aren't strangers, are we? I know who you are and you know who I am...right"

"We'll I just that's true" kit shrugs, still not convinced.

" then why don't you come with me to the circus, I promise I'll have you back in
time for dinner. Give me your hand, we'll shake on it"

"You're still a stranger. I don't want to talk to you"

"Okay, shake and give me the silent
treatment. Zip your lip up and shake"

With his left hand Paddywack pretends to zip his own lip while offering his right through the sewer drain.

"and I'll give you back your
boat"

"One question thought: what kinda clown are you"

"Why I'm a dancing clown...I'm also the funniest clown in the whole wide world"

He does a tiny dance making kit laugh, "anyway can I get my boat back, it really means a lot to me and...I don't wanna make Launchpad upset when he finds that I lost our friendship boat"

"Friendship boat?"

"Yes me and Launchpad have a dream, we would start our own flying company then when we have enough money we would buy a boat and set sail around the world going on adventures, we would call it: the cloudkicker"

Pennywise holds kit's boat out of the drain with his right hand.

"Sounds like an amazing dream...would you like a balloon"

Kit sees him holding out a red balloon, "uh...no thanks I just want my boat back"

"Sure take It kid, just reach in and take it"

Kit reaches out both hands, his left to receive his boat and his right for a handshake to signal their friendship.

"You have balloons down there?"

"Yes all kind of balloons in different colors, they float and when you are down here with me...you'll float too"

As Kit gets ever closer when Paddywack lunges and Grabs kit's hand. Jerks him down and toward the sewer, baring his mouthful of razor-like teeth.

"AH!!!"

Traving through a sewer tunnels the title of the movie appears.
