[quote=@bluemoon277] Jessie Grabbed onto Aaron's arm. [color=9e0039]"Don't worry Aaron. I'll protect you from the big bad clowns"[/color] jessie kicked open the door lightly. It swung open and made a ding as they entered. Jessie walked with everyone to a small booth. Her and Kate set Aaron down into a booth and Jessie scooted in as well trapping him by the window. [color=9e0039]"Why don't you and Marci go get something I'll hold down the fort"[/color] Jessie suggested to Kate. Once they left Jessie turned to Aaron who looked visibly uncomfortable. [color=9e0039]"So whats with the clown phobia anyway"[/color] Jessie asked. She had never really heard the story, but she guess that whens she had so many means of torture Aaron couldn't refuse to confess. [/quote] [color=fff200][u][b]Aaron[/b][/u][/color] Aaron knew he couldn't get out of this and so with minimal resistance he was lead into the store. The clowns at the entrance were enough to cause him to grimace. [color=fff200][b]"Just relax Aaron, just relax. They can't hurt you they''re just clowns...OH GOD DID THAT THING MOVE?!"[/b][/color]. Aaron was about to break out into a panic when Jess sat him by the window at their booth. Despite there being someone being between him and those things Aaron still felt uncomfortable around them. After Kate and Marci headed off to get whatever they wanted Aaron looked around to make sure none of the employees dressed as clowns came near him. He heard Jessie's question and after another quick look around he answered, [color=fff200][b]"It was before my dad remarried and one summer he took me to the circus. It was fun at first until I got lost. The night before I watched some movie about killer clowns so of course when I stumbled into the backstage area where I saw them...so many of them, I freaked out. I was caught in the middle of the crowd and many of them had only part of their makeup on so I saw a mix of their creepy smiles and dull normal faces. Once they noticed me I got surrounded, all of them staring at me and looking like a creepy clown version of Two-Face. I ran like hell but they were everywhere. Wherever I looked I saw those creepy permanent smiles staring at me. At some point I managed to get back to my dad who was angry as he'll but calmed down soon after. We stayed at the circus but that's when it got worse. We took our seats in the stands but the ringleader guy decided the clowns should run around the entire circus tent. Those bastards were on me again, some sat right behind me for some sick joke but I didn't dare look back at them. I felt them right beside me and-OH GOD GET AWAY!"[/b][/color], Aaron yelled at the approaching employee who quickly backed off towards another table. [color=fff200][b]"...can we go now?"[/b][/color] [color=8dc73f][u][b]Kathryn[/b][/u][/color] Kate gazed in awe at the myriad of sweets, pastries, and other delectable treats that was within Clowny Cakes. After a bit of, rather a good amount, of collecting, she returned to the table with her prize. [color=8dc73f][b]"Guys, did you know they sell poptarts in bulk now? I think I'm in heaven"[/b][/color], she would have continued but Kate noticed that Aaron had just finished retelling his tale of horror and suffering. [color=8dc73f][b]"Oh he told you the clown story?"[/b][/color], she asked as she eyed the huge box of various flavored poptarts.
