It had been about a week since Ramona had last seen the clown and she wasn't sure what to think. The last time they were together they nearly kissed and then he disappeared. To be fair he left because her brother had shown up unexpectedly.

She remembered how she had to think of an explanation for the clown makeup she was wearing and laughed. She couldn't just tell Jim that there was a clown from the sewers who ate children in her house. It turned out that he had needed some food because he had spent all his money on supplies for a welding project.

Ramona woke up and looked at the red balloon that was still floating in the corner, showing no sign of deflating. A reminder that what had happened was, indeed, real. She sighed and shuffled lazily into the kitchen to make coffee.

The human girl looked at herself in the mirror. Her blue hair was fading and looked like a bluish kind of sewer green, with dark brown growing in. She tiredly lined one eye with black and left the other plain.

Outside it was raining. Ramona chugged her coffee then put on her yellow poncho and got her makeup case packed and locked up tight. She didn't want to go dropping any more brushes. She locked her door and headed to her job.

As she walked to the set for a photo shoot she was doing makeup for, Ramona Blue did not see the reddish yellow eyes peering at her from the sewer.

Pennywise cursed to himself. How could he be so foolish to reveal himself so easily to a human? To make his affections so apparent? He straightened himself up and walked away from the grate and deeper into his lair.

He sulked on an old circus ride, eating soggy popcorn and pouting. He much rather would have had the hot crisp popcorn that his human had made for him, and the cotton candy from a package hadn't been bad either.

He hated to admit it to himself, but he missed her. He badly wanted to finish that kiss and often thought of how she quickly pecked his cheek. Such thoughts made the cosmic being smile. He loved how she looked in clown makeup and wondered what it would be like if she were like him, immortal and all-powerful.

Pennywise decided that he would visit her apartment while she was gone. Perhaps to leave his human a gift, something to let her know that he was still around. As he looked around for something to give her, the clown saw a child walking by. His eyes glowed and he smiled sharply. He wouldn't mind a small snack before he left.

Authors note: Sorry it took so long y'all. The next chapter will be better, I promise. :o)
