It was a hot spring day in 1986. Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Will, were playing Dungeons and Dragons in the basement. Eleven however was in the living room, showing off her abilities to Max.
"That is so cool," Max said. Max heard a car pull up. She looked out the window to see her stepbrother's car parked outside. "Shoot! I gotta go!" Max exclaimed.
Max opened the door and ran towards Billy's car. Max opened the door and sat in the front seat. Billy started the car and started driving.
Eleven decided to play D&D with the boys. They had been teaching her how to play, and she was getting better at it.
Mike's mom, Karen, heard the doorbell ring. She opened the door to see Jim Hopper. "Hi, Karen. I'm here to pick up Jane," Hopper said. "She's in the basement with her friends," Karen said.
Hopper went to the basement to get Eleven. "El, it's time to go," Hopper said. "Bye, guys," El said to her friends.
"Mom, can I go play outside?" Holly asked, after Jane and Jim left. "Later., sweetie. Your father and I are busy and you're too young to go out by yourself," Karen said. "I can take her outside," Mike said, at the top of the stairs.
"Ok, sweetie. I'm trusting you to take care of her," Karen said. "Don't worry, Mom. She'll be safe with me," Mike said. "Ok, Holly, time to go outside", Mike said. "Guys, I'm gonna take my sister outside!" Mike said to his friends. Holly held Mike's hand and they went outside.
Mike and Holly were walking outside when they heard a voice say, "Hello". The voice was coming from the sewer grate. Mike and Holly looked down and saw a clown in the sewers. "Oh my God!" Mike exclaimed.
"Do you want a balloon?" the clown asked, in a creepy voice. "No, thanks," Mike said. "Come on. Let's go, Holly". "You're not going anywhere!" the clown shouted, grabbing Holly's leg. "Holly!" Mike exclaimed.
Mike grabbed Holly's hand and pulled her away from the clown. Mike and Holly ran back home, screaming. When they got home, they were panting. "What happened?" Mike's mom, Karen, asked.
"We were walking and we heard a voice. There was this clown in the sewers. He tried to pull Holly into the sewers," Mike explained. "A clown in the sewers?" Karen asked. "Yeah!" Holly said.
Karen called 911 and explained what her kids had told her. Police officers came to search the sewer grate that Mike and Holly had seen the clown in. The officers came out of the grate with no sign of the clown.
"Mrs. Wheeler, your kids must've been playing a prank on you. We've found nothing except for what you'd normally see in the sewers," an officer said. "Have a nice day". Then, the officers left.
"I can't believe you guys pulled a prank on me," Karen said to Mike and Holly. "We didn't prank you. We actually saw a clown," Mike said. "Well, I don't believe you," Karen said.
