A young teenage girl named Kassie lived in a quaint town in the State of New York. Kassie has light brown hair and freckles. She is on the swimming team in hopes of winning a championship. When she was a little girl she always dressed up as a clown and had circus shows with her stuffed animals as in audience. Now, she is older. Her family faced financial struggles, living in a run-down house, and struggling to make ends meet. Despite their hardships, Kassie remained hopeful and dreamed of a better life for her family.
Even the day of worrying about her family, swimming couldn't make her feel better. After school, she left her swimming equipment and one-piece bathing suit and put on her overalls. Kassie walked out of school and found herself sitting on a bench, tears streaming down her cheeks as she worried about the affordability of their situation. 
She then decided to find something that could make her feel better. “*sniffing* I suppose if I want to do anything, I need to find something to make me feel better.”  Kassie got up and started walking until she could find something.
A little further away, there was a circus. 
She says, “Hey, there is a circus. I hope there are some clowns there.” Walking down the hill was a huge tent. Kassie walks around with nothing or no one to be seen. “Hmmm, maybe I'll go into the back room.” She goes back to the backroom to see circus equipment and a man. “Hello, young lady. What are you doing here?” “Oh, hi, I was just wandering around.” “Well, the circus is closed.” “Yeah, I hoped to find something to make me happy.”  “Well, there's nothing here,” the man said. 
Kassie walked out, left with no choice but to go home. In this moment of despair, a whimsical clown emerged from the bushes, catching Kassie's attention with a playful impression that made her laugh for the first time in a long while. 
The clown introduced himself as Kaptain Krazy.” “Hello there.” “Hi, I didn't expect to see any clowns here.” “Well, I heard that you have been sad. Why is that?”  “My family doesn't make much money, and I want to feel better about things.” “Well, young lady, I have good news for you. But let me show you around and introduce you to the clowns.” Kassie smiled, “Ok!”
Kaptain Krazy and Kassie walk inside the tent where the clowns are. “Hello, everyone. Gather around.” Suddenly, at least 50 clowns pop out of nowhere. One comes out riding a unicycle, and one comes out in a unicycle while juggling as Kassie laughs. “All of you are funny,” she said. Kaptain Krazy said, “Well, everyone, this is Kassie.” All the clowns said aloud, “Hi Kassie!”
One asked, “What brings you here?” Kassie replies, “Well, I love clowns. They always made me happy as a little girl, Hahaha.”  Krazy says, “Now, tell us why you're here” “Well, I am sad.” A clown named Jellybean asks, “Why?” “Kassie explained to the clowns that she and her family face financial hardships.
Kassie was introduced to clowns like Flora, Bubbles, Jingles, Giggles, Patches, Doodles, Sprinkles, Tootles, Floppy, Zippy, Buttons, and many more. Each clown had a unique personality and style, contributing to the vibrant atmosphere of the circus. With excitement bubbling in the air, the clowns decided to show Kassie around their magical world.
On the way, Kassie asked, “I have never seen y'all around before.” Tootles said, “We just moved from the south to New York. In case you missed the name, we are the Circus of Bama.” The first stop was the grand Big Top tent, where the main performances occurred. As they entered, Kassie's eyes widened in amazement at the dazzling lights and the smell of popcorn wafting through the air. 
The ringmaster, a tall, striking figure with a booming voice, greeted them as performers practiced their acts. Kaptain Krazy gestured dramatically. "This is where the magic happens! You will see acrobats soaring through the air, jugglers dazzling the audience, and our clowns bringing everyone laughter!"
Next, they wandered into the animal area, where Kassie met various friendly animals, including playful elephants and mischievous monkeys. The clowns introduced her to Bella, a gentle elephant who loved giving big hugs, and Max, a cheeky monkey who delighted in stealing hats. “Don't worry, Kassie," one clown chuckled, "Max only steals hats, not hearts!" Then, the clowns led Kassie to the makeup room (or what it's supposedly called). The walls were adorned with mirrors, each reflecting the transformed faces of clowns preparing for their performances. 
"Here’s where the real magic begins!" Kaptain Krazy exclaimed. “Its a fun way to express who you are!" From there, they ventured into the costume boutique, a treasure trove of whimsical outfits. Kassie marveled at the variety of colorful fabrics, oversized shoes, and playful accessories. Feeling a bit hungry after all the excitement, the group stopped at the snack stand, where the aroma of cotton candy and roasted peanuts filled the air. The clowns playfully juggled snacks, tossing them to each other before sharing them with Kassie. “Here, try this! It’s our signature circus popcorn!" Kaptain Krazy said, handing her a fluffy handful. "It’s made with a sprinkle of magic and a dash of laughter!"
Finally, they arrived at the practice ring, where various performers rehearsed their acts. “This is where acrobats flip and twirl, including jugglers, and colorful balls are tossed high.” The clowns encouraged her to join in, and together, they practiced silly routines, eliciting laughter and joy.
“You’ll be a natural, Kassie!” one of the clowns cheered as they engaged in playful antics. “Haha, thank you, guys. That was fun. Well, it's getting late; I must get home.” Kassie walks toward the outside door as the clown’s state and silently smiles. “Why are you leaving?” Kassie then turns around. “Because I got home, my parents will be worried.” 
A clown with a female voice, medium afro (with the colors of pink, yellow, blue, and red), red long-sleeve shirt with puffy cuffs and collar attached, regular blue jean overalls with large red balls on the front comes out and says, “But we haven't told you the good news. I thought we were here to help you.” This clown is Anna, who, a while ago, out of revenge, transformed her friends from grade school into clowns. The costume was custom-made by her mother, like her Halloween 5th-grade clown costume.
Kassie says, “What?” Kaptain Krazy says, “Well, didn't you say your family was in financial trouble? Kassie, we thought you came here to get out of that,” said Jellybean. “I'm sorry, but no. We can handle it ourselves.” “Well, how is that working out?” Kassie replies, “Not so good. We are struggling to pay for things.” “We can help change that,” Anna said. “Help how?” Kassie replied. The clowns erupted into laughter. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! 
Jingles tells Kassie, “Have you join the circus of course? We can transform you into a clown.” Kassie says, “I don’t know if I can leave my old life behind. What about my family? They won’t approve of me becoming a clown."
Anna (leaning in): "But think about it, Kassie. This circus isn't just about us. It's about laughter, joy, and bringing smiles to faces everywhere. And you could help your family, too!" Kassie (frowning slightly): "I don’t know if they would understand. They have so many worries already."
Anna laughs and says, “Silly, it involves stunting and turning them into clowns, too.” “Well, okay, let me think about it for a minute, " she thinks, her heart pounding. Why would I want to turn my family into clowns? What if they don't like this life?" Images of her family flooded her mind of her mother sitting at the kitchen table with tear-streaked cheeks, her father looking weary after a long day of work, and her younger siblings playing quietly, oblivious to the weight of their struggles. She could still hear her mother’s soft cries late at night, the sound of worry hanging in the air like a heavy blanket.
Kassie’s heart ached. Life had been hard for them, and she had always wanted to shield her family from pain, to take away their struggles. But now, the thought of sharing the joy and laughter of the circus with them ignited a spark of hope within her. "What if I could change their lives forever?" Kassie whispered to herself, her mind racing. "What if I could bring them here to experience this happiness? Maybe they could find joy in a way they never thought possible."
She returned to Kaptain Krazy and the other clowns and felt renewed purpose. "I want to show them that life can be different," she declared, her voice steady. "I want to help them find joy again, just like I have. If becoming clowns can bring laughter into their lives, I want to do it!" Kaptain Krazy smiled broadly, sensing her determination. "That’s the spirit, Kassie! Together, we’ll make it happen. We’ll show them that the circus is a place of joy and love, where they can forget their worries, even briefly."
Kassie felt the warmth of the clowns' support surrounding her, their enthusiasm contagious. She thought of her family’s faces lighting up with laughter, their joy filling the air. With newfound resolve, Kassie took a deep breath and smiled. "Let’s do this. I want to bring my family into this magical world. We’ll create a life filled with laughter together."
The clowns erupted in cheers once more, but this time, they celebrated hope and the promise of a brighter future. Kassie knew this decision would change their lives forever, and she was ready to embrace the journey ahead; one filled with laughter, love, and the magic of the circus.
“Ok, it's time for me to become a clown.” Kaptain Krazy, “OK, but first, I must make a disclosure. You know when I said you would change into a clown? We meant it literally.” Kassie says, “Literally, how?” “Well, we will turn you into a clown; clown cells will enter your system and replace your human cells. The Clown RNA will change your entire body. After that, there is no going back. Your human skin will be pure white like us. Your hair will change. You would be a clown forever.” 
Kassie raises her eyebrow and says, “I thought that white power or cream in your face and neck was makeup?” “Take a closer look near the mirrors and costumes. Do you see any clown makeup?” She says, “Um, no? You all must be wearing makeup- “as suddenly the clowns reveal that their bodies are all white skin.
It was at this moment Kassie realized nothing on any clown is makeup. “It's a secret, Kassie.” They are natural clowns. Try rubbing off our makeup if you don't believe us. Kassie then grabs a dirty rag in her backpack; she rubs Krazy's face, so it does not come off. She pulls on his nose, and it stretches out elastically; she lets go and instantly pulls it back to its typical clown nose. She then pulled on Krazy’s face, and his skin stretched like rubber. “Oh wow. This definitely changes your identity.” Krazy replies, “It's magic.” Anna says, “That's right. The government cannot take you or force you into school.” Jellybean steps in, revealing he is the same age as she is. 
Kassie considers the possibility of a clown boyfriend and girlfriend. Jelly then kisses her. Kassie chuckles. Kassie is then told they can finish her education here at the circus.
Jelly says, “So what do you say?” Kassie excitedly replies, " A clown forever!? If anything, I'm more than happy. I've always loved clowns but never thought I would be one.”  Anna says, “We’ll have to convince your family, and I know just what to do.”
“If this is what you want, Kassie, follow me into this room of cream pies.”  All the clowns gather around, as do the other circus members. Even Max the Monkey and the man she saw earlier. Kassie walks into the room. Facing the other direction, Kaptain Krazy said," Are you ready for a life-changing transformation?” “Yes, Kaptain Krazy. I am ready to become a silly and adorable clown.” “No going back,” he said. “Hey, when do I get my clown cos-“
SPLATT!!!
From a distance, Kaptain Krazy threw a magic cream pie into Kassie's face as the clowns burst into laughter. Kassie takes off the pie, leaving a ton of white on her face. 
The white on her face changed her skin pigment to pure chalk clown white. It then spreads from the face to the rest of the body. Her entire body became completely clown white. “*gasps*Guys my skin.” “Yes, Kassie. The transformation has begun. “Hahaha, it tickles, hahahahaha.”
After a long laugh, she sees from a mirror's distance a red circle around her nose. “Is this red spot supposed to look like paint?” Then, the dot spreads across the surface as it starts growing. Making a creaking a ‘CIIT’ sound, it grows into a round clown nose. “Oh my gosh, this is a dream come true.” “Someone then shouts, “Without trying, lightly press your nose.” She goes along with his advice when “Honk, Honk.” “Oh my gosh, this is incredible.” As she continues to press her new bulbous clown nose. “This is so awesome.”
Kassie started to itch around her face when her lips and clown smile visibly appeared around her mouth, ensuring she smiled forever. “Look at me. I have a smile around my lips. I am becoming a clown!” The lips remained at its normal state but feels and looks elastic rubber. Kaptain Krazy said, " Hahaha, I love you already, Kassie. Let clown energy flow through you.”
The eyebrow arched upward and turned black as her eyes turned blue. “Now nobody won’t recognize my face!” Anna says, “Not directly or immediately, but yes.” Then, happy circle cheeks pop up on her face, connecting the line with the smile. “Look at me, y'all; my smile is even better.” Kassie twirls around, laughing in joy. 
But then her hair itches. “Kassie.” She replies, “Yes?” “Your hair color” as the light brown hair fades to blue, orange, yellow, and pink colors. Kassie gasps and shouts, “Anna, Anna, look at me! I have pink like you.” Anna replies, “That's wonderful, Kassie.”  
Kassie walks to see a reflection of herself. Her mouth drops as her hair shrank back shorter it shrank upward to head and started curling, fluffing, and producing afro clumps. Her hair gets curled and grows into clown afro.Kassie gasps with a big smile. “I'm a clown now!!!” 
Everyone begins clapping as Kassie's transformation is completed. “This is a dream, isn't it?” “Splash some water in yourself.” She does, and nothing comes off. “Now that you're a clown, it's time to dispose of those human clothes and put them into some clown clothes.” “Let me find you something nice.”
They head back into the room with clown costumes and equipment. “Kassie here is this wonderful dress with some bloomers.” Kassie replies, “I would rather find something I'd like.” “Take your time.” Kassie sorts through every piece of clothing available, but nothing she likes. “Guys, I can't decide.” Krazy says, “Well, Kassie, you have to choose something. You are not a human anymore. You're a clown now.” Kassie sighs, “Just leave. I will figure it out.” As they leave the room, she notices a barrel. “Wait.” The clowns all stop and turn to her as she approaches the barrel.
She pours it out. It just so happens to be a black sleeveless dungaree mime jumpsuit, where you put your arms through and wear a random shirt underneath. The ankles had hems. They are like Bibbers, which are marching band uniforms. The suit covers up all the way to where the u part barely touches underneath the chest like a one-piece bathing suit. Kassie thought, in her mind, that this was the outfit for her. She asks everyone to leave. 
She in the barrel was always a colorful striped shirt. Finding what is needed, she removes what he currently wears and puts on the striped shirt. Then she puts her legs through the holes in the mime suit, pulls it up to her body, and puts her arms through them. 
Looking around, she dons some clown cuffs around her wrists and pulls a puffy collar over her head and around her neck. She pulls socks over the hems. She could not wear her current shoes, so she grabbed oversized clown shoes by the costumes. After adjusting her collar and cuffs one final time, Kassie stood before the mirror, fully dressed in her clown attire. The combination of the striped shirt and mime suit created a harmonious and captivating look, reflecting her new identity as a circus clown.
She then went outside to tell everyone. “Tell everyone to come in,” she shouted. As Kassie stood in her vibrant clown costume, the colorful shirt and dungaree jumpsuit accentuating her transformation, the door swung open, and the group of clowns entered the room. Their eyes widened in delight as they caught sight of her.
What Kassie looks like: 
Kaptain Krazy says excitedly while clapping his hands together, “Ta-da! Look at our newest star! Kassie the Clown has arrived!" Anna: (gasping dramatically) "Oh my goodness! You look fantastic! That outfit is bursting. "Tootles (twirling around her): "You’re just as bright and cheerful as the circus! I love the way those stripes pop!"
As Kassie completed her transformation into a vibrant circus clown, she stood before the mirror, her reflection radiating joy and whimsy. Kassie felt an exhilarating rush of joy and confidence. With her colorful costume hugging her in all the right places and the playful spirit of her fellow clowns surrounding her, she knew it was time to embrace her new identity fully. Kassie stepped forward, her heart racing as she walked toward the mirror that reflected her vibrant transformation. The clowns fell silent, their eyes glued to her, sensing the moment's significance.
Standing before the mirror, she gazed at her reflection “the bold stripes of her shirt, the playful dungarees, and the oversized clown nose that radiated joy. For the first time, she saw herself as she wanted to be. Kassie: (taking a deep breath, her voice steady and clear) "Everyone, listen up!" The clowns leaned in; their faces filled with anticipation.
Kassie calmly said, "I’m no longer Kassie Gilliam. I am Cassie with a 'C.' Cassie the Clown!" As she announced her new name, her reflection smiled back at her, and a wave of exhilaration washed over her. The room erupted into cheers and applause, the clowns jumping up and down in excitement. Kaptain Krazy (clapping enthusiastically): "Yes! Welcome, Cassie the Clown! You have stepped into your true self!" Jellybean (grinning widely): "Cassie with a 'C'! I love it! You are going to be a superstar!" 
With her colorful attire, playful spirit, and infectious laughter, Cassie the Clown embodied the essence of joy and magic that defined her newfound identity. With each step she took, Cassie felt the weight of her past worries and struggles to lift from her shoulders, replaced by a sense of freedom and possibility.
“Thank you everybody.” Anna replies, “You're family now, Cassie.” Cassie replies, “Thanks, but we still have to free my family.”  Krazy replies, “Oh yes! We can convince them to become clowns like you, Cassie. We can end your family's stress and hardships right now.”  “Ok, but how will we turn them into clowns if we convince them?” Anna steps in, “See that Jack-In-The-Box? We now have the technology to turn people into clowns after turning that crank for 5 seconds. Instead of a slow transformation process, like, for example, how you transformed slowly, that will instantly change into clowns with the magic clowns’ genes entering their system as they spin around really, fast.”
Cassie replies, “Wow, which must be amazing.” As the clowns gather around Kassie, their excitement palpable, they begin to discuss the plan to convince her family - Austin and Susan, along with her sister siblings Dallas, Star, and Todd - to join them in the circus. 
The Jack-in-The-Box is described as a big box with a clown in the middle on each side. On top of the lid, there was a head of a clown. On side was a rotating crank. 
Kaptain Krazy: (clapping his hands together) "Alright, team! Here is the strategy. We will go to Cassie’s house and show her family the joy of being clowns. We need to bring the circus to them!" 
Anna (grinning widely): “Let us set up a mini circus in their backyard! We can display our talents and let them experience the magic firsthand!"
Jingles (nodding in agreement) "Yes! We can juggle, do clown skits, and share stories about our lives here. They need to see how much fun we have!" 
Cassie (feeling excitement and apprehension): “But what if they do not understand? What if they are too afraid to leave everything behind?"
Kaptain Krazy (placing a comforting hand on her shoulder): "Thats why we’ll focus on the joy. We’ll show them that this isn’t just about leaving their old lives behind; it’s about creating a new one filled with laughter, love, and support." 
Jellybean (enthusiastically): "We can also tell them how the circus takes care of its own. No more stress about money or worrying about being homeless. We have a community that looks out for each other."
Cassie (nodding, feeling inspired): "Yes! If they see how happy I am as a clown, they may want to join in, too. Kaptain Krazy (grinning widely) "Exactly! We will make it a day they will never forget. And if they ever want to go out into the real world, we have identical rubber masks and bodysuits they can wear. They can keep their human identities while embracing the joy of being clowns!" 
Anna (enthusiastically): "That way, they can still feel connected to their old lives but also experience the freedom of being part of our circus family!" Kassie (heart racing): "I think my family would love that! If they understand that they can still be themselves while joining us in this new adventure, it might make the decision easier for them."
Kaptain Krazy (clapping his hands): "Alright, let’s do this! We will gather our supplies and head over to Cassie's house. It is time to spread some joy and show them the possibilities!" Cassie says, “Remember, we will not force them if they say no. But they will not. They just cannot. I will say that my eldest sister Dallas hates clowns and fears them.”
Cassie then enters the circus and thinks about her eldest, Dallas. In the past, formerly Kassie, she remembers when she, as a 9-year-old, annoyed Dallas by being a clown and showing tricks.” Go away, freak. Go away, & eventually enraged Dallas, and they decided to set fire to all younger Kassie’s clown equipment and costume. 
As young Kassie watches, she bursts into tears. “Dallas, why?! I just wanted to see you smile!” “I have told you millions of times, and you will not listen. I hate clowns. They can go straight to hell.;” Cassie now remembers our most profound and forgotten memory. Anna comes in and asks Cassie what is wrong. She says, wiping away tears, “You know how you mentioned you turned your friends into clowns?” 
“Well, get everything ready. History of this circus is about the repeat itself.” She then sees the clown costume Kaptain Krazy offered her. She sees a bottle of glitter and sprinkes the clown dress, yellow bloomers, purple tights, striped socks, and Mary Jane shoes. It then magically whirled into a confetti cup where I will use for a special clown.
The clowns quickly gathered colorful props, juggling balls, and silly costumes. They piled into a colorful clown car, laughter and excitement spilling out as they made their way to Cassies home. As the clowns gathered around the colorful clown car in the circus parking lot, excitement buzzed in the air.
The vibrant vehicle was a spectacle of colors - bright reds, yellows, blues, and greens - making it impossible to miss. The door swung open wide, inviting everyone to pile in for their adventure.
Kaptain Krazy stood at the entrance, gesturing grandly. "Alright, everyone! Let us see how many can fit into this magical ride!" A chorus of laughter erupted as the clowns began to squeeze into the car, their antics making the process a comical spectacle. Kassie climbed in, followed by Kaptain Krazy, Anna, and several other clowns, totaling fourteen. Why 14? Magic fits them in. Each clown brought unique flair and energy, filling the car with joy.
But the piece de resistance for this journey was the gigantic Jack-in-the-Box that would turn humans into clowns.
The box was square, with a rotating crank and a lid to close during the transformation. Each side of the box had a clown printed in an assorted color. Kaptain Krazy pointed to the giant suitcase they had brought along. "Now, let’s get our friend the Jack-in-the-Box ready for the show!"
The clowns gathered around the suitcase, whimsically decorated with stickers and colorful patterns. The challenge was clear: they needed to stuff the giant Jack-in-the-Box inside it without losing any of the excitement. Sprinkles (grunting as they maneuvered the Jack-in-the-Box) "Okay, on the count of three! One, two, three!"
With a comical heave, they managed to push the oversized toy into the suitcase. The suitcase bulged and creaked, but the Jack-in-the-Box fit snugly inside.
Buttons (laughing): "I hope it doesn’t pop out before we even get to Cassie’s house!" 
Cassie (giggling): "It’ll be a surprise for them! Just imagine their faces when it springs them out.
The clowns finally pushed the suitcase, securing their colorful companion inside. The clowns cheered, celebrating their teamwork and creativity.
Kaptain Krazy: (clapping his hands) "Mission accomplished! Now, everyone piles in! Let’s spread some joy and show Kassie’s family what we’re all about!"
As the clowns began to cram into the car, they laughed and jostled for space, determined to make room for one more. The scene was a beautiful chaos of colors and laughter, embodying the spirit of the circus.
Kassie squeezed in next to her friends, her heart racing with excitement. She knew this would be the start of something magical. The car was ready to hit the road, the Jack-in-the-Box safely stored, and the clowns packed tightly. They left behind a trail of laughter as they headed toward her family's house, eager to share their joy and colorful world.
Now that they had arrived at the Gilliam residence, the car was parked outside in the driveway. The whole family was there except for Dallas. Todd is 10 years old while Star, the youngest in the family, is 9. As they approached the front door, Kaptain Krazy gently knocked, and Austin opened the door. His expression shifted from confusion to surprise as he saw the colorful clowns before him.
Krazy gently knocked, and Austin opened the door, his expression shifting from confusion to surprise as he saw the colorful clowns before him. Cassie came up and said, “; Hello, daddy.” Austin replied, “Daddy?” as his wife Susan stepped up and wondered why there were clowns outside.
Kaptain Krazy and the other clowns burst into the scene; their energy infectious. Kaptain Krazy: (with a grand gesture) "Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the circus! We’re here to show you what life can be like when you embrace the joy of being a clown!"
Austin and Susan exchanged bewildered glances. Star and Todd peered around their parents; eyes wide with curiosity. When Kassie's mother stepped forward, her brow furrowed.
Susan: "What is all this? Kassie, what are you doing?"
Cassie (smiling brightly): "I’m here to show you how amazing this life can be! We want you to experience the joy and freedom of being part of the circus! 
“Kaptain Krazy (enthusiastically): "We know life has been tough, but we want to share a new way of living with you. It’s about laughter, adventure, and a community that supports one another."
Cassie (pleading): "Please, just give it a chance. You wouldn’t have to worry about money or being homeless. The circus takes care of its own. And if you ever want to head out into the real world, you can wear rubber masks that look just like you!"
Todd: (eyes sparkling) "That sounds so cool!" 
Star: (giggling) "Can I wear a silly costume, too?" Austin and Susan exchanged glances, the weight of their responsibilities evident in their expressions. 
Austin: (sighing) "Kassie, we appreciate this, but we can’t just leave our lives behind. We have jobs and bills. We can’t just disappear." Cassie felt her heart sink but knew she had to push through.
Kassie: (her voice trembling) "But Dad, think about all the stress we go through every day. The constant worry about money, the fear of losing our home. The circus can take care of all that. You wouldn’t have to wake up every day feeling stressed and overwhelmed. You could focus on happiness, on being together as a family."
Susan says, “Kassie, enough of the nonsense. Get that makeup off you now.” She grabs a wet rag and tries to wipe the makeup off her daughter's face. The damp rag moves across her skin, but the clown white chalk seems to smear slightly instead of coming off, leaving streaks of color behind. 
“What is this?” Susan exclaimed; her eyes wide with disbelief as she continued to rub harder. “Kassie, this isn’t coming off!” Cassie felt frustration and sadness as her mother's efforts proved futile.” Mom, it’s not just makeup! This is who I am now. The clown white is part of my new life - my new skin!”
Susan paused, realization dawning on her face. “You mean? this is permanent? Cassie nodded, her heart heavy but resolute. “Yes, Mom. I’ve found happiness in the circus. This is my family now, and I want you to see that. Please, don’t be upset.” Austin stepped closer, his expression softening as he took in the scene. “Kassie, we just want what is best for you. But this is so different from what we know.”  Kassie took a deep breath, feeling the weight of their concern. “I understand. But if you give it a chance, I promise you’ll see how amazing this life can be. The circus is full of laughter and love, and I want you all to participate.
"Susan replies, “What about our friends? Family? Everyone we all know and love?” 
 Cassie (stepping closer, tears in her eyes): "You wouldn’t lose anything; you’d be gaining so much more! Imagine a life filled with laughter, love, and adventure. Please, just think about it. Besides we can turn rubber masks 100% identical to cover your clown body." 
Kaptain Krazy: (smiling warmly) "We promise you won’t regret it. Join us for a day filled with laughter, and if you love it, we can talk about making the circus a part of your lives."
With Kassie's parents finally convinced to leave their financial struggles behind, excitement filled the air as they prepared to embrace their new life as clowns. Todd and Star, thrilled by the prospect of becoming part of the circus, were bubbling over with enthusiasm. Dallas was not home, but that did not dampen their spirits. “I suppose I will do anything turning into something silly. It might just get us out of this trouble,” Austin said, trying to mask his nervousness with a smile.
Kaptain Krazy and Anna exchanged knowing glances, ready to warn the siblings about the transformation they were about to undergo. "Now, just remember, once you become clowns, your clowns forever," Anna said, her voice severe but still cheerful.
"Yes, your skin will be chalk clown white, your noses will be bulbous and round," Kaptain Krazy added with a flourish, "And your hair will change too! You will have a clown smile around your mouths, and your lips will be a little elastic, just like mine!" He tugged at his exaggerated smile for emphasis. Todd and Star looked at each other, excitement mixing with a hint of apprehension. 
“We understand!” they chimed in unison, ready to plunge.
“Alright then! Let’s bring out the magical Jack-in-the-Box!” Kaptain Krazy announced, reaching for the suitcase they had stuffed the giant toy into earlier. 
With a dramatic flourish, the clowns opened the bag and carefully pulled out the whimsical Jack-in-the-Box, its brightly painted exterior shimmering under the light.
“Alright, Susan, you’re up first!” Kaptain Krazy said, gesturing for her to step forward. The clowns opened the lid to the Jack-in-the-Box, and with their help, Susan climbed inside, a mix of excitement and uncertainty on her face. They shut the lid, locking in the magic. 
“Okay, everyone, we need your help to make something magical happen! We’ll count down from five,” Kaptain Krazy declared. “Cassie, would you do the honors? "Cassie nodded, her heart racing with anticipation as she began to rotate the crank on the side of the Jack-in-the-Box. 
The mechanism started to spin, creating a whimsical sound that filled the air. “FIVE… four… three… two… one!” With a final turn, the crank stopped, and the clowns all stepped back, their eyes sparkling excitedly. They opened the lid of the Jack-in-the-Box, and as the lid swung open, Susan stood up and transformed into a clown before their very eyes.
Her hair had changed dramatically and now a vibrant shade of electric blue, styled into a wild, spiky do that stood tall and proud, giving her a playful, energetic look. The bright color contrasted beautifully with her chalk-white skin, and her bulbous red nose gleamed delightfully.
“Welcome to the circus, Susan!” Kaptain Krazy cheered, clapping his hands together. “Now, who’s next?” After Susan's transformation into a clown, the excitement in the air was palpable as Austin, Todd, and Star prepared to follow her lead. Each family member was eager to embrace their new identities, ready to leave behind their past struggles and step into a vibrant world of laughter and joy.
Austin was the first to take the plunge. He climbed into the Jack-in-the-Box with a mix of apprehension and excitement. The clowns counted down together, and when the lid opened, Austin emerged transformed. His skin was now a bright chalk white, and his nose had taken on a large, bulbous shape painted a vivid red. His hair had changed to a wild, afro orange.
Next was Todd, who eagerly climbed into the box, his excitement evident. After the countdown, he burst forth, his transformation equally delightful. Todd's skin was now chalk white, but his nose was a fresh, round red. His hair had transformed into a bright green mohawk that stood straight up, giving him an edgy look.
Finally, it was Stars turn. She climbed into the Jack-in-the-Box with bubbly enthusiasm. After the countdown, she emerged, and gasps of delight filled the air. Stars skin had turned the same chalk white, but her nose was a cheerful, round red. Her hair had transformed into her normal medium length, except there were bangs. The color was pink.
As the transformations settled in, the clowns gathered around their newly minted family members, their faces beaming excitedly. Kaptain Krazy clapped his hands together, drawing everyone's attention.
“Alright, everyone, gather around!” he boomed with enthusiasm. “You’ve just decided to change into clowns, which means you must dispose of your human clothes and wear these fabulous outfits!” With that, the clowns began to pull out various colorful costumes from a nearby trunk, each more whimsical than the last. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation as they unveiled the outfits.
Austin wore a colorful clown jumpsuit with oversized patchwork pants, bright polka dots, and a matching oversized jacket with large, floppy shoes that squeaked with every step. His costume was adorned with colorful pom-poms and ruffles that bounced as he moved, enhancing his silly demeanor. 
Todd sported a vibrant, striped clown outfit with mismatched sleeves - one a bright yellow and the other a bold purple. His pants were baggy and decorated with stars, and he wore oversized, colorful clown shoes adorned with bells that jingled with every step.
Star decided to pick a multicolored, frilly dress that flowed out like a tutu, complete with layers of tulle in shades of purple, blue, and yellow. Her costume was accented with sparkles and glitter, making her shine even brighter. Star’s shoes were bright red with yellow laces, completing her joyful clown outfit. She also wore purple tights and orange striped socks. 
Star then came to the clowns and her family, “Mommy, Daddy, Look! I'm a Clown Princess.” Susan replies, “Yes, you are my little clown.” Star tap dances in joy. Anna steps in. “Hahaha, you're such an adorable clown, Star. I'm Anna, and I will always be there for you.” Star replies, “I love you, Anna,” as she runs and hugs her. She accidentally presses her nose against Anna's body in the hug, leaving a “Honk, honk.” The family starts laughing.
As the excitement continued, Kaptain Krazy turned to Susan, who was also looking forward to her clown transformation. “And we can’t forget about you, Susan! You get to wear something extraordinary!” The clowns gathered around, pulling out a vibrant, eye-catching costume that would reflect Susan's new clown persona. The costume consisted of a playful, oversized dress that flowed with ruffles and layers. It was a kaleidoscope of colors—bright pink, sunny yellow, and electric blue—each hue dancing together in a joyful display. “Here’s your dress!” one of the clowns exclaimed, holding it up for her to see. 
The dress was adorned with large, cartoonish flowers and vibrant polka dots, giving it a whimsical, cheerful look that perfectly matched her new personality. To complement the dress, they presented her with a pair of fluffy, oversized clown shoes in bright red, complete with yellow laces that added to the playful theme. “These will make you bounce joyfully!” another clown said with a wink.
Kaptain Krazy (with a flourish) “Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the fabulous Susan the Clown! Look at those colors!”  Susan (spinning around): “I can’t believe how vibrant this dress is! It’s so fun! I feel like a walking party! “Todd (giggling): “You look like a fairy tale character who fell into a box of crayons!” 
Star (clapping her hands): “Mom, you’ll be the best clown ever! I love your hair!” Austin: (grinning) “Yeah, and those shoes! They’re huge! “You’ll be bouncing around like a spring!” Cassie says, “You look amazing, Mom! This is going to be so much fun!” Susan (laughing): “I never would’ve imagined I'd be wearing something like this. But you know what? I love it! It feels liberating!”
Kaptain Krazy: “And that's the spirit! Embrace the silliness! Being a clown is about joy and laughter!”  (pointing at his outfit): “Look at me! I’m like a walking rainbow! Can you believe how cool this mohawk is?” Austin, “hey honey, Todd, Star, Kassie – lets honk our noses at the same time as a family” “HONK, HONK” “HONK, HONK” “HONK, HONK” “HONK HONK” HONK, HONK” The whole family starts laughing now that their lives have changed forever. They can finally start over. Susan says, “Ah the joy. I haven’t felt this way in a long time. Thank you, Kassie, my beloved daughter.” Cassie hugs and kisses her mom.
Star: “You're like a funky rockstar clown, Todd! I love your vest!” Austin: (striking a pose) “And I’m a classic clown, ready to squeak my way into everyone's hearts!&”; Cassie then tells her family she is no longer Kassie with a K. She is Cassie with a C. Cassie the Clown. As the chaos of laughter and excitement filled the air, a car pulled into the driveway, interrupting the joyful scene. The door swung open, and out stepped Dallas, her expression shifting from confusion to shock.
“What the fuck?” she exclaimed, taking in the sight of her family and the colorful clowns surrounding them. Dallas is 23, working at a job she just got home from. Just then, Susan and Star then burst from the house, eyes sparkling excitedly. “Dallas! Your home!” they shouted, running toward her.
“What the hell are all you? Why are you freak clowns doing at my family’s home?” Dallas demanded, her voice a mix of disbelief and frustration. “Hahaha! We’re here to honk, honk, and make you become like us!” Kaptain Krazy said with a wide grin, his clown nose bouncing as he spoke.
“HELL NO, FREAKS! GO AWAY!”  Dallas shouted, clearly overwhelmed. She rushed inside, her heart racing as she scanned the living room, filled with colorful clowns and bright decorations. “Mom? Kassie? Where are you?” she called out, looking for any sign of her family amid the chaos.
As she searched, Kassie suddenly appeared before her, a big smile on her face. “What are you looking for, sister?” Dallas paused, her heart dropping as she took in her sister's clownish appearance. “Kassie? is that you,” she stammered, eyes widening in disbelief.
“Yes, Dallas, it’s me!” Kassie replied, stepping aside to reveal the rest of their family behind her, all clad in colorful clown costumes. Dallas's eyes darted around, her expression mixing confusion and horror. “Why are you dressed like freak clowns?!” she exclaimed, her voice rising in pitch. Cassie replies, “We’re clowns. Real clowns. You will see what its like when you become a clown like us.” 
Dallas, “haha, yeah, no thank you. That’s not a funny joke but all you are. You are weird old freaks!”
Star’s face fell, and she began to cry. “We’re clowns now—real clowns! That means none of our hair or makeup is just makeup; it's real!” Dallas laughed, trying to grasp the situation. “Okay, okay, you got me. This is some joke, right?”
Silence enveloped the room as the clowns exchanged puzzled looks, unsure how to react. “I’ll prove it!” Dallas declared determination in her eyes. She grabbed a nearby rag, wet it, and rushed back toward her family. “Let me show you. I just need to rub it on your face.”
With a swift motion, she rubbed the rag against Cassie's face, expecting at least some of the clown makeup to smear. But as she rubbed, nothing happened. The chalk-white skin remained untouched, the colors vibrant and alive. 
“What the-?” Dallas stared her mouth agape. She turned to Susan, then Todd and Star, rubbing the rag against their faces, but nothing changed. “This can’t be real!” she exclaimed, her voice rising in disbelief.
Kaptain Krazy stepped forward, trying to lighten the mood. “Welcome to the new reality, dear Dallas! We’re here to spread joy and laughter whether you like it or not!”  Dallas stood there, her mind racing as she processed the reality of the situation. Her family was now a vibrant, colorful circus troupe, and the realization hit her hard. “You guys, you’re serious, aren’t you?”
“Yes!” Cassie said, her eyes shining with excitement. “We’re clowns now! And it’s amazing!” Dallas took a deep breath, her initial shock slowly transforming into a mix of disbelief and grudging acceptance. “So, the makeup won't come off? Why?”
Kaptain Kazy says, “Because we’re real clowns. We have magic that permanently turns humans into clowns.” Anna says, “Yes, it mixes your human cells with clown cells. Your skin changes. Your hair changes.” Dallas crossed her arms, her expression hardening. “Kassie, you know I hate clowns. I despise them. Why are all of you being like my freak sister?!
Austin chimed in, trying to mediate. “Dallas, enough disrespecting u-““Disrespect you!? Don’t you see I fear clowns? I hate them! I destroyed anything I saw in my way!” Dallas snapped, “Go to hell!” her voice rising. Kassie felt a wave of anger wash over her as memories flooded back flashbacks of Dallas tearing apart her clown costume, ripping the fabric, and throwing her equipment away in a rage. It hurt to remember, but she knew this wasn’t about the past but the present.
Susan stepped in, her tone calm but firm. “I know, Dallas. We don’t mean to push this on you. We’re not here to force you, but please consider why we’re doing this. We found joy in being clowns, and we joined to escape from our hard lives. Like c’mon, we can hardly pay our bills. Just please understand the joy.” Dallas narrowed her eyes; skepticism was still evident. “Okay, shoot. What’s so great about being a clown?”
Kassie took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts. Anna says, “It’s more than just the costumes and makeup. It’s about bringing joy to others, making people laugh, and creating a community. When I joined the circus, I felt accepted and loved. I found a family in the clowns, and it changed my life.”
Todd jumped in; his enthusiasm was infectious. “And it’s not just about us! Think about how many people we can make smile! Clowns bring happiness, and we’re spreading that everywhere we go.” Star wiped her tears, looking at her sister earnestly. “You don’t have to be scared, Dallas. We’re still us - just with a little more color and fun! You could join us and experience it for yourself!”
“But I can’t just flip a switch and love clowns because you do”
Dallas replied, her voice softening but still guarded. “What if it’s not for me? What if I really can’t stand it? Kaptain Krazy stepped forward, a warm smile on his face. “That’s okay, Dallas! You don’t have to love it right away. Just give it a chance. You might surprise yourself. It's all about fun and laughter, and you can always come back to us if it’s not for you.”
Dallas looked around at her family, clad in their colorful costumes, laughter, and joy radiating from them. She could see how happy they were, how alive they felt. “I just don’t want to change,” she said quietly. Susan reached out, placing a comforting hand on Dallas's shoulder. “You don’t have to change who you are, sweetheart. We are still your family; no matter what, we love you. Just consider joining us for a day. You might find something you did not expect.” 
Dallas hesitated, looking from her family to the clowns, who smiled at her and encouraged her with their eyes. “Fine,” she sighed, rolling her eyes with a hint of a smile. I will deal with you; you are. But I am not staying here. I am not around you anymore. Goodbye. I love you.” Dallas then walked out near the door.
However, Cassie says, “You're not going anywhere.” Dallas replies, “What is that supposed to mean?” Cassie replies, “What you did to mean years ago. You destroyed my clown costume, balls, unicycle, and whoopee cushions. For that, you will pay.” Dallas replies, “What are you talking about?” Cassie says, “Put her in the Jack-in-the-box.” Kaptain Krazy says, “Cassie, I thought we weren’t forcing people.” Susan replies, “Yes, Cassie, you can’t force her into the tribe.” Cassie yells, “Did you not just hear me? She destroyed the things I loved as a little girl. She destroyed my costumes and everything. She and her friends bullied me for dressing up like a clown.” Susan sighed. Cassie then said, “That’s what I thought. Now do it!”
Two clowns are behind Dallas as she asks “Wait, wha- ah, let me go,” the two clowns, Sprinkles and Buttons, grab and retrain her. “What are you doing?!”
Anna opens the lid to the box as Dallas struggles to break free. Let me go, you freaks. They pulled a chair so Dallas could put her feet on so they could lift Dallas into the box. The clowns did not immediately close it, but they surrounded the box laughing.
Dallas says, “Wha- what are you doing? What's going on?” Cassie then came forward and said, “This is your punishment.” Dallas, who was nervous and did not understand what was happening, said, “Punishment? What do you mean.” Cassie replies, Hahaha, we're going to turn you into a clown.” Dallas started trembling as she remembered that her family had become permanent clowns.
“No, please, Kassie, listen. I'm sorry for everything. I truly mean it. I am sorry for hurting the things you love. Please Kassie listens, I’m sorry. For everything. For the bullying to destroying what you love. I swear I am sorry.” Dallas was in tears as Cassie came closer; Cassie hugged Dallas. Cassie sighs and says, “I forgive you. I am sorry for pushing what I love onto you. I am too sorry.” Cassie lets go as she still shaking, “Please, don't turn me into a clown.” Susan, “Dallas, just accept it. You at least won't have to worry about our financial struggles.” Still panicking, Dallas said, “No, I do not want to be a clown. Please don't do that to me!” Cassie says, “You still hurt me. This is payback for what you did to me.
Mom, Dad! Do something!” Austin replies, Dallas, “think about our freedom as a family. No more financial struggles. Nothing.”  
Dallas replies, “But I have a boyfriend!” Star says, “We can have him join the circus, too!” Dallas then says, Todd, someone please vouch for me. Todd replies, “Too bad, we’re making you become one of us. I can’t imagine a world without my eldest sister.” Kaptain Krazy says, “All alright. Close the lid.” The clowns close the lid, forcing Dallas to sit in the box.
Dallas tries so hard to break free, but there are no gaps or spaces to escape. "Let me out of here!" as she continues to bang inside the Jack-In-The-Box. Cassie says, “Alright, everyone, you know the drill!” While Dallas continues to try to break free, “Five… Four…” Dallas starts spinning like a tornado, “three… two… one.” Then, the spinning comes to a halt. The lid of the box opens. Confetti shoots out of the sky. Dallas stands up. She has been transformed into a clown. Dallas looks downward, is shocked, and screams, “Ahhhhhhh. No, it can't be real.”
Dallas jumps over the box and runs straight to the bathroom. She screams in horror in the mirror of herself. Her skin was pure clown white; her nose was a bulbous red clown nose, red elastic lips with a red smile around her mouth like everyone else, and a blue, red, yellow, and green clown afro. What have you done to me?! I’m a clown!?” she screamed, panic rising. The clowns erupted in laughter, cheering for the newest member of their colorful family, while Cassie stood there, a mix of satisfaction and empathy swirling within her. She had gotten her payback, but she also knew that this was just the beginning for Dallas. 
Whether she liked it or not, they were now united in this new, chaotic, and vibrant life as clowns.
Star says, “Look, Dallas, you're an adorable and silly clown now!” She tries to get the clown nose off her nose, only for it to stretch out like rubber; it was attached to her. “No, I won't accept this! Change me back. Now.” Anna says, “Too bad, you are a real clown now. We don't have magic to change you back into a human.”  
Dallas, still angrily upset, is in tears. She runs to the back of the room and grabs a shotgun. “Dallas, I know you are upset; I know you didn't want to go down this path. Everyone besides Cassie didn't want this for you. But it is what it is. Like your dad said, you will be free of financial struggles,” said Kaptain Krazy.
“Why should I believe you?” Dallas replies. Kaptain Krazy then uses his gloves to magically create a rubber human face/head/mask 100% identical to Dallas. Cassie faces her family: “See. I told you can go out looking like our human selves. We can go out in public without being noticed as clowns.”
Cassie stepped closer to Dallas, her expression softening as she saw the fear in her sister’s eyes. “Dallas, I know this is overwhelming, but it’s not so bad! You will get have to accept and used to it. Just look at Mom, Todd, and Star – they are all happy!”
Dallas’s eyes darted around, taking in her family’s colorful appearances. They were laughing and embracing their new identities, but all she could feel was dread. “I don’t want to be like this! I don’t want to be a freak!” Kaptain Krazy, noticing Dallas’s distress, approached her with a warm smile. “Now, now, Dallas! Being a clown is not about being a freak but embracing joy and spreading laughter! You can see the world in a whole new way!”
Slowly, as the confetti settled around her, Dallas began to feel the moment's energy seep into her. She lowered the gun and dropped it to the ground. The clowns were genuinely happy, and despite her initial panic, she could sense a strange allure to their way of life. As Dallas stood there, still processing the shock of her transformation, the laughter of the clowns filled the air, creating a chaotic and celebratory atmosphere. She stumbled back, her mind racing with disbelief and confusion. “What have you done to me?! I’m a clown!?” Dallas shouted, her voice a mix of panic and frustration. Her heart racing, she looked for a way out of this bizarre situation. Dallas begins crying. “I’m a freak. I’m a weirdo *sobbing”
Cassie stepped closer, her expression softening as she saw the fear in her sister’s eyes. “Dallas, I know this is overwhelming, but it is not so bad! You will get used to it. Just look at Mom, Todd, and Star; they are all happy!” Dallas’s eyes darted around, taking in her family’s colorful appearances. They were laughing and embracing their new identities, but all she could feel was dread. “I do not want to be like this! I don’t want to be a freak!”
Kaptain Krazy, noticing Dallas’ distress, approached her with a warm smile. “Now, now, Dallas! Being a clown isn't about being a freak but embracing joy and spreading laughter! You can see the world in a whole new way!” Slowly, as the confetti settled around her, Dallas began to feel the moment's energy seep into her. The clowns were genuinely happy, and despite her initial panic, she could sense a strange allure to their way of life.
“Look,” Cassie said, her tone encouraging. “You don’t have to change who you are. You can still be yourself with just a little more color and fun! We’re family and want you to be part of this with us” Dallas hesitated, glancing at the joyful faces of her family.” But what about my life? My friends? My boyfriend?" 
Star said, “You can bring them into this life, too! We can have the most amazing circus performances and make everyone laugh together!” As the clowns began to demonstrate their antics - juggling, pratfalls, and silly dances - Dallas could not help but feel a flicker of curiosity. This was not the end of her world, but rather a new beginning.
With a deep breath, she looked at Kassie, her expression shifting from fear to uncertainty. “I guess I could try it. But I am not promising anything!” The clowns erupted into cheers, celebrating her tentative acceptance. “That's the spirit!” Kaptain Krazy said, clapping his hands. “Now, let's show you the ropes, Dallas!”
As the family gathered around, they began teaching her the clowning basics. They showed her how to juggle colorful balls, perform silly tricks, and even make balloon animals. With each passing moment, Dallas felt some of her apprehension fade away. Sure, she might not have chosen this path, but there was something undeniably joyful about the chaos and laughter surrounding her. 
As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the scene, Dallas laughed for the first time, a genuine sound that felt foreign yet freeing. “Okay, okay! Maybe being a clown is not so bad after all” The family erupted in laughter, and in that moment, the fear that had gripped her dissipated, replaced by a sense of belonging she hadn’t anticipated.
From that day on, Dallas embraced her new identity as a clown, learning to balance her previous life with this vibrant, joyful existence. Together with her family, she discovered the power of laughter, the joy of performing, and the freedom of living authentically.
As Dallas excitedly searched through the colorful array of costumes, her heart sank when she realized that there was not a single outfit that would fit her. “Uh, guys? there's nothing here for me!” she exclaimed, disappointment evident in her voice. Kassie frowned, her mind racing to find a solution. “Wait! I have an idea!” She dashed to a corner of the room and retrieved a shiny canister decorated with bright colors and a big label that read “Confetti Surprise! “What's that?” Dallas asked, her curiosity piqued.
Cassie grinned mischievously. “Just watch! This will be a perfect way to get you into the perfect clown costume!” With everyone gathered around, Kassie popped open the canister. A burst of colorful confetti shot into the air, filling the room with a sparkling cascade of colors. The confetti began to fall, swirling around Dallas like a magical whirlwind.
“Whoa!” Dallas exclaimed, caught off guard as the vibrant confetti enveloped her. It wrapped around her body, latching onto her like a birthday present being unwrapped. 
As the last confetti settled, it transformed into a stunning clown outfit: a playful dress with fluff underneath, yellow bloomers, bright purple tights, and Mary Jane shoes, silly socks! Turns out, that was Cassies original clothes that Kaptain Krazy offered. Dallas gasped; her eyes wide with amazement. “I can’t believe it! This is incredible!” She twirled in her new costume, feeling the fabric swirl around her. 
Cassie and the rest of the family cheered, celebrating the magical transformation. “Now you look just like us!” Cassie beamed.
But as the excitement settled, a more severe idea took root in Cassie’s mind. “You know, we need to let go of our past and fully embrace our new lives,” she said, looking around at the remnants of their old selves. Susan nodded, understanding her daughter's perspective. “You're right. It is time to say goodbye to our human memories once and for all.”
With a determined look, Cassie gathered the family in the living room. They collected all their human belongings, old photos, keepsakes, and mementos, placing them in a pile. The clowns formed a circle around the pile, and Kassie pulled out a lighter. “Are we doing this?” Dallas asked, her voice trembling slightly “Its time, Dallas,” Cassie replied firmly. “We need to let go so we can fully embrace our new life.” With a flick of the lighter, Cassie ignited the pile.
Flames danced and crackled, consuming their old memories in a fiery blaze. The warmth of the fire surrounded them, and the glow illuminated their colorful costumes, making them look even more vibrant. As the last of the old memories along with their house turned to ash, Cassie beamed at her family. “C’mon, family! Let us go home to the circus!”
They all joined hands, a tight-knit circle of love and laughter, and they skipped their way to the clown car parked outside together. The tiny vehicle was colorful and whimsical, adorned with bright paint and oversized wheels. 
As they squeezed into the clown car with Anna, Buttons, Sprinkles, Tootles, Jellybean, Flora, Bubbles, Jingles, Giggles, Patches, Doodles, Tootles, Floppy, Zippy, Buttons, with Kaptain Krazy as the driver, laughter erupted, filling the air with joy. ‘This is going to be the best adventure ever!’ Dallas exclaimed, her heart racing with excitement.
“And Dallas, I'm Cassie with the C now. Cassie the Clown.” Dallas replies, “Oh, well, that makes sense. With Kaptain Krazy at the wheel, they drove off into the sunset, ready to embrace their new lives as a family of clowns. The past was behind them, and a vibrant, joyful future awaited.
The end!

You know what’s sad?
That RPs with multiple (as in, more than me and my rp-partner) people don’t really work. I didn’t exactly have many of them, but I thought it a lot of fun when I experienced it and also when I imagine it, and it’s just sad that, for example, I’ll (or we’ll) never be able to experience idk a party or something that multiple people are going to and meeting and having some form of chaos or whatever together then.

You can also paint your face green if you really want the full Wicked Witch experience. Seniors can disguise any medical equipment they use as a broom and join in the celebration.

Kassie and Family Clown Transformation
Tumblr media
A young teenage girl named Kassie lived in a quaint town in the State of New York. Kassie has light brown hair and freckles. She is on the swimming team in hopes of winning a championship. When she was a little girl she always dressed up as a clown and had circus shows with her stuffed animals as in audience. Now, she is in high school. Her family faced financial struggles, living in a run-down house, and struggling to make ends meet. Despite their hardships, Kassie remained hopeful and dreamed of a better life for her family.
Even the day of worrying about her family, swimming couldn't make her feel better. After school, she left her swimming equipment and one-piece bathing suit and put on her overalls. Kassie walked out of school and found herself sitting on a bench, tears streaming down her cheeks as she worried about the affordability of their situation. 
She then decided to find something that could make her feel better. “*sniffing* I suppose if I want to do anything, I need to find something to make me feel better.”  Kassie got up and started walking until she could find something.
A little further away, there was a circus. 
She says, “Hey, there is a circus. I hope there are some clowns there.” Walking down the hill was a huge tent. Kassie walks around with nothing or no one to be seen. “Hmmm, maybe I'll go into the back room.” She goes back to the backroom to see circus equipment and a man. “Hello, young lady. What are you doing here?” “Oh, hi, I was just wandering around.” “Well, the circus is closed.” “Yeah, I hoped to find something to make me happy.”  “Well, there's nothing here,” the man said. 
Kassie walked out, left with no choice but to go home. In this moment of despair, a whimsical clown emerged from the bushes, catching Kassie's attention with a playful impression that made her laugh for the first time in a long while. 
The clown introduced himself as Kaptain Krazy.” “Hello there.” “Hi, I didn't expect to see any clowns here.” “Well, I heard that you have been sad. Why is that?”  “My family doesn't make much money, and I want to feel better about things.” “Well, young lady, I have good news for you. But let me show you around and introduce you to the clowns.” Kassie smiled, “Ok!”
Kaptain Krazy and Kassie walk inside the tent where the clowns are. “Hello, everyone. Gather around.” Suddenly, at least 50 clowns pop out of nowhere. One comes out riding a unicycle, and one comes out in a unicycle while juggling as Kassie laughs. “All of you are funny,” she said. Kaptain Krazy said, “Well, everyone, this is Kassie.” All the clowns said aloud, “Hi Kassie!” One asked, 
“What brings you here?” Kassie replies, “Well, I love clowns. They always made me happy as a little girl, Hahaha.”  Krazy says, “Now, tell us why you're here” “Well, I am sad.” A clown named Jellybean asks, “Why?” “Kassie explained to the clowns that she and her family face financial hardships.
Kassie was introduced to clowns like Flora, Bubbles, Jingles, Giggles, Patches, Doodles, Sprinkles, Tootles, Floppy, Zippy, Buttons, and many more. Each clown had a unique personality and style, contributing to the vibrant atmosphere of the circus. With excitement bubbling in the air, the clowns decided to show Kassie around their magical world.
On the way, Kassie asked, “I have never seen y'all around before.” Tootles said, “We just moved from the south to New York. In case you missed the name, we are the Circus of Bama.” The first stop was the grand Big Top tent, where the main performances occurred. As they entered, Kassie's eyes widened in amazement at the dazzling lights and the smell of popcorn wafting through the air. 
The ringmaster, a tall, striking figure with a booming voice, greeted them as performers practiced their acts. Kaptain Krazy gestured dramatically. "This is where the magic happens! You will see acrobats soaring through the air, jugglers dazzling the audience, and our clowns bringing everyone laughter!"
Next, they wandered into the animal area, where Kassie met various friendly animals, including playful elephants and mischievous monkeys. The clowns introduced her to Bella, a gentle elephant who loved giving big hugs, and Max, a cheeky monkey who delighted in stealing hats. “Don't worry, Kassie," one clown chuckled, "Max only steals hats, not hearts!" Then, the clowns led Kassie to the makeup room (or what it's supposedly called). The walls were adorned with mirrors, each reflecting the transformed faces of clowns preparing for their performances. 
"Here’s where the real magic begins!" Kaptain Krazy exclaimed. “Its a fun way to express who you are!" From there, they ventured into the costume boutique, a treasure trove of whimsical outfits. Kassie marveled at the variety of colorful fabrics, oversized shoes, and playful accessories. Feeling a bit hungry after all the excitement, the group stopped at the snack stand, where the aroma of cotton candy and roasted peanuts filled the air. The clowns playfully juggled snacks, tossing them to each other before sharing them with Kassie. “Here, try this! It’s our signature circus popcorn!" Kaptain Krazy said, handing her a fluffy handful. "It’s made with a sprinkle of magic and a dash of laughter!"
Finally, they arrived at the practice ring, where various performers rehearsed their acts. “This is where acrobats flip and twirl, including jugglers, and colorful balls are tossed high.” The clowns encouraged her to join in, and together, they practiced silly routines, eliciting laughter and joy.
“You’ll be a natural, Kassie!” one of the clowns cheered as they engaged in playful antics. “Haha, thank you, guys. That was fun. Well, it's getting late; I must get home.” Kassie walks toward the outside door as the clown’s state and silently smiles. “Why are you leaving?” Kassie then turns around. “Because I got home, my parents will be worried.” 
A clown with a female voice, medium afro (with the colors of pink, yellow, blue, and red), red long-sleeve shirt with puffy cuffs and collar attached, regular blue jean overalls with large red balls on the front comes out and says, “But we haven't told you the good news. I thought we were here to help you.” This clown is Anna, who, a while ago, out of revenge, transformed her friends from grade school into clowns. The costume was custom-made by her mother, like her Halloween 5th-grade clown costume.
Kassie says, “What?” Kaptain Krazy says, “Well, didn't you say your family was in financial trouble? Kassie, we thought you came here to get out of that,” said Jellybean. “I'm sorry, but no. We can handle it ourselves.” “Well, how is that working out?” Kassie replies, “Not so good. We are struggling to pay for things.” “We can help change that,” Anna said. “Help how?” Kassie replied. The clowns erupted into laughter. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! 
Jingles tells Kassie, “Have you join the circus of course? We can transform you into a clown.” Kassie says, “I don’t know if I can leave my old life behind. What about my family? They won’t approve of me becoming a clown."
Anna (leaning in): "But think about it, Kassie. This circus isn't just about us. It's about laughter, joy, and bringing smiles to faces everywhere. And you could help your family, too!" Kassie (frowning slightly): "I don’t know if they would understand. They have so many worries already."
Anna laughs and says, “Silly, it involves stunting and turning them into clowns, too.” “Well, okay, let me think about it for a minute, " she thinks, her heart pounding. Why would I want to turn my family into clowns? What if they don't like this life?" Images of her family flooded her mind of her mother sitting at the kitchen table with tear-streaked cheeks, her father looking weary after a long day of work, and her younger siblings playing quietly, oblivious to the weight of their struggles. She could still hear her mother’s soft cries late at night, the sound of worry hanging in the air like a heavy blanket.
Kassie’s heart ached. Life had been hard for them, and she had always wanted to shield her family from pain, to take away their struggles. But now, the thought of sharing the joy and laughter of the circus with them ignited a spark of hope within her. "What if I could change their lives forever?" Kassie whispered to herself, her mind racing. "What if I could bring them here to experience this happiness? Maybe they could find joy in a way they never thought possible."
She returned to Kaptain Krazy and the other clowns and felt renewed purpose. "I want to show them that life can be different," she declared, her voice steady. "I want to help them find joy again, just like I have. If becoming clowns can bring laughter into their lives, I want to do it!" Kaptain Krazy smiled broadly, sensing her determination. "That’s the spirit, Kassie! Together, we’ll make it happen. We’ll show them that the circus is a place of joy and love, where they can forget their worries, even briefly."
Kassie felt the warmth of the clowns' support surrounding her, their enthusiasm contagious. She thought of her family’s faces lighting up with laughter, their joy filling the air. With newfound resolve, Kassie took a deep breath and smiled. "Let’s do this. I want to bring my family into this magical world. We’ll create a life filled with laughter together."
The clowns erupted in cheers once more, but this time, they celebrated hope and the promise of a brighter future. Kassie knew this decision would change their lives forever, and she was ready to embrace the journey ahead; one filled with laughter, love, and the magic of the circus.
“Ok, it's time for me to become a clown.” Kaptain Krazy, “OK, but first, I must make a disclosure. You know when I said you would change into a clown? We meant it literally.” Kassie says, “Literally, how?” “Well, we will turn you into a clown; clown cells will enter your system and replace your human cells. The Clown RNA will change your entire body. After that, there is no going back. Your human skin will be pure white like us. Your hair will change. You would be a clown forever.” 
Kassie raises her eyebrow and says, “I thought that white power or cream in your face and neck was makeup?” “Take a closer look near the mirrors and costumes. Do you see any clown makeup?” She says, “Um, no? You all must be wearing makeup- “as suddenly the clowns reveal that their bodies are all white skin.
It was at this moment Kassie realized nothing on any clown is makeup. “It's a secret, Kassie.” They are natural clowns. Try rubbing off our makeup if you don't believe us. Kassie then grabs a dirty rag in her backpack; she rubs Krazy's face, so it does not come off. She pulls on his nose, and it stretches out elastically; she lets go and instantly pulls it back to its typical clown nose. She then pulled on Krazy’s face, and his skin stretched like rubber. “Oh wow. This definitely changes your identity.” Krazy replies, “It's magic.” Anna says, “That's right. The government cannot take you or force you into school.” Jellybean steps in, revealing he is the same age as she is. 
Kassie considers the possibility of a clown boyfriend and girlfriend. Jelly then kisses her. Kassie chuckles. Kassie is then told they can finish her education here at the circus.
Jelly says, “So what do you say?” Kassie excitedly replies, " A clown forever!? If anything, I'm more than happy. I've always loved clowns but never thought I would be one.”  Anna says, “We’ll have to convince your family, and I know just what to do.”
“If this is what you want, Kassie, follow me into this room of cream pies.”  All the clowns gather around, as do the other circus members. Even Max the Monkey and the man she saw earlier. Kassie walks into the room. Facing the other direction, Kaptain Krazy said," Are you ready for a life-changing transformation?” “Yes, Kaptain Krazy. I am ready to become a silly and adorable clown.” “No going back,” he said. “Hey, when do I get my clown cos-“
SPLATT!!!
From a distance, Kaptain Krazy threw a magic cream pie into Kassie's face as the clowns burst into laughter. Kassie takes off the pie, leaving a ton of white on her face. 
The white on her face changed her skin pigment to pure chalk clown white. It then spreads from the face to the rest of the body. Her entire body became completely clown white. “*gasps*Guys my skin.” “Yes, Kassie. The transformation has begun. “Hahaha, it tickles, hahahahaha.”
After a long laugh, she sees from a mirror's distance a red circle around her nose. “Is this red spot supposed to look like paint?” Then, the dot spreads across the surface as it starts growing. Making a CIIT sound, it grows into a round clown nose. “Oh my gosh, this is a dream come true.” “Someone then shouts, “Without trying, lightly press your nose.” She goes along with his advice when “Honk, Honk.” “Oh my gosh, this is incredible.” As she continues to press her new bulbous clown nose. “I'm becoming a silly clown.”
Kassie started to itch around her face when her lips and clown smile visibly appeared around her mouth, ensuring she smiled forever. “Look at me. I have a smile around my lips. I am becoming a clown!” The lips remained at its normal state but feels and looks elastic rubber. Kaptain Krazy said, " Hahaha, I love you already, Kassie. Let clown energy flow through you.”
The eyebrow arched upward and turned black as her eyes turned blue. “Now nobody won’t recognize my face!” Anna says, “Not directly or immediately, but yes.” Then, happy circle cheeks pop up on her face, connecting the line with the smile. “Look at me, y'all; my smile is even better.” Kassie twirls around, laughing in joy. 
But then her hair itches. “Kassie.” She replies, “Yes?” “Your hair color” as the light brown hair fades to blue, orange, yellow, and pink colors. Kassie gasps and shouts, “Anna, Anna, look at me! I have pink like you.” Anna replies, “That's wonderful, Kassie.”  
Kassie walks to see a reflection of herself. Her mouth drops as her hair shrinks back shorter and shorter until it completely retracts her head and starts curling and producing afro clumps. Her hair gets curled and grows into clown afro.Kassie gasps with a big smile. “I'm a clown now!!!” 
Everyone begins clapping as Kassie's transformation is completed. “This is a dream, isn't it?” “Splash some water in yourself.” She does, and nothing comes off. “Now that you're a clown, it's time to dispose of those human clothes and put them into some clown clothes.” “Let me find you something nice.”
They head back into the room with clown costumes and equipment. “Kassie here is this wonderful dress with some bloomers.” Kassie replies, “I would rather find something I'd like.” “Take your time.” Kassie sorts through every piece of clothing available, but nothing she likes. “Guys, I can't decide.” Krazy says, “Well, Kassie, you have to choose something. You are not a human anymore. You're a clown now.” Kassie sighs, “Just leave. I will figure it out.” As they leave the room, she notices a barrel. “Wait.” The clowns all stop and turn to her as she approaches the barrel.
She pours it out. It just so happens to be a black sleeveless dungaree mime jumpsuit, where you put your arms through and wear a random shirt underneath. They are like Bibbers, which are marching band uniforms. The suit covers up all the way to where the u part barely touches underneath the chest like a one-piece bathing suit. It would be tight on her whole body on down to the ankles. Kassie thought, in her mind, that this was the outfit for her. She asks everyone to leave. 
She in the barrel was always a colorful striped shirt. Finding what is needed, she removes what he currently wears and puts on the striped shirt. Then she puts her legs through the holes in the mime suit, pulls it up to her body, and puts her arms through them. 
Looking around, she dons some clown cuffs around her wrists and pulls a puffy collar over her head and around her neck. She could not wear her current shoes, so she grabbed oversized clown shoes by the costumes. After adjusting her collar and cuffs one final time, Kassie stood before the mirror, fully dressed in her clown attire. The combination of the striped shirt and mime suit created a harmonious and captivating look, reflecting her new identity as a circus clown.
She then went outside to tell everyone. “Tell everyone to come in,” she shouted. As Kassie stood in her vibrant clown costume, the colorful shirt and dungaree jumpsuit accentuating her transformation, the door swung open, and the group of clowns entered the room. Their eyes widened in delight as they caught sight of her.
Kaptain Krazy says excitedly while clapping his hands together, “Ta-da! Look at our newest star! Kassie the Clown has arrived!" Anna: (gasping dramatically) "Oh my goodness! You look fantastic! That outfit is bursting. "Tootles (twirling around her): "You’re just as bright and cheerful as the circus! I love the way those stripes pop!"
As Kassie completed her transformation into a vibrant circus clown, she stood before the mirror, her reflection radiating joy and whimsy. Kassie felt an exhilarating rush of joy and confidence. With her colorful costume hugging her in all the right places and the playful spirit of her fellow clowns surrounding her, she knew it was time to embrace her new identity fully. Kassie stepped forward, her heart racing as she walked toward the mirror that reflected her vibrant transformation. The clowns fell silent, their eyes glued to her, sensing the moment's significance.
Standing before the mirror, she gazed at her reflection “the bold stripes of her shirt, the playful dungarees, and the oversized clown nose that radiated joy. For the first time, she saw herself as she wanted to be. Kassie: (taking a deep breath, her voice steady and clear) "Everyone, listen up!" The clowns leaned in; their faces filled with anticipation.
Kassie calmly said, "I’m no longer Kassie Gilliam. I am Cassie with a 'C.' Cassie the Clown!" As she announced her new name, her reflection smiled back at her, and a wave of exhilaration washed over her. The room erupted into cheers and applause, the clowns jumping up and down in excitement. Kaptain Krazy (clapping enthusiastically): "Yes! Welcome, Cassie the Clown! You have stepped into your true self!" Jellybean (grinning widely): "Cassie with a 'C'! I love it! You are going to be a superstar!" 
With her colorful attire, playful spirit, and infectious laughter, Cassie the Clown embodied the essence of joy and magic that defined her newfound identity. With each step she took, Cassie felt the weight of her past worries and struggles to lift from her shoulders, replaced by a sense of freedom and possibility.
“Thank you everybody.” Anna replies, “You're family now, Cassie.” Cassie replies, “Thanks, but we still have to free my family.”  Krazy replies, “Oh yes! We can convince them to become clowns like you, Cassie. We can end your family's stress and hardships right now.”  “Ok, but how will we turn them into clowns if we convince them?” Anna steps in, “See that Jack-In-The-Box? We now have the technology to turn people into clowns after turning that crank for 5 seconds. Instead of a slow transformation process, like, for example, how you transformed slowly, that will instantly change into clowns with the magic clowns’ genes entering their system as they spin around really, fast.”
Cassie replies, “Wow, which must be amazing.” As the clowns gather around Kassie, their excitement palpable, they begin to discuss the plan to convince her family - Austin and Susan, along with her sister siblings Dallas, Star, and Todd - to join them in the circus. 
The Jack-in-The-Box is described as a big box with a clown in the middle on each side. On top of the lid, there was a head of a clown. On side was a rotating crank. 
Kaptain Krazy: (clapping his hands together) "Alright, team! Here is the strategy. We will go to Cassie’s house and show her family the joy of being clowns. We need to bring the circus to them!" 
Anna (grinning widely): “Let us set up a mini circus in their backyard! We can display our talents and let them experience the magic firsthand!"
Jingles (nodding in agreement) "Yes! We can juggle, do clown skits, and share stories about our lives here. They need to see how much fun we have!" 
Cassie (feeling excitement and apprehension): “But what if they do not understand? What if they are too afraid to leave everything behind?"
Kaptain Krazy (placing a comforting hand on her shoulder): "Thats why we’ll focus on the joy. We’ll show them that this isn’t just about leaving their old lives behind; it’s about creating a new one filled with laughter, love, and support." 
Jellybean (enthusiastically): "We can also tell them how the circus takes care of its own. No more stress about money or worrying about being homeless. We have a community that looks out for each other."
Cassie (nodding, feeling inspired): "Yes! If they see how happy I am as a clown, they may want to join in, too. Kaptain Krazy (grinning widely) "Exactly! We will make it a day they will never forget. And if they ever want to go out into the real world, we have identical rubber masks and bodysuits they can wear. They can keep their human identities while embracing the joy of being clowns!" 
Anna (enthusiastically): "That way, they can still feel connected to their old lives but also experience the freedom of being part of our circus family!" Kassie (heart racing): "I think my family would love that! If they understand that they can still be themselves while joining us in this new adventure, it might make the decision easier for them."
Kaptain Krazy (clapping his hands): "Alright, let’s do this! We will gather our supplies and head over to Cassie's house. It is time to spread some joy and show them the possibilities!" Cassie says, “Remember, we will not force them if they say no. But they will not. They just cannot. I will say that my eldest sister Dallas hates clowns and fears them.”
Cassie then enters the circus and thinks about her eldest, Dallas. In the past, formerly Kassie, she remembers when she, as a 9-year-old, annoyed Dallas by being a clown and showing tricks.” Go away, freak. Go away, & eventually enraged Dallas, and they decided to set fire to all younger Kassie’s clown equipment and costume. 
As young Kassie watches, she bursts into tears. “Dallas, why?! I just wanted to see you smile!” “I have told you millions of times, and you will not listen. I hate clowns. They can go straight to hell.;” Cassie now remembers our most profound and forgotten memory. Anna comes in and asks Cassie what is wrong. She says, wiping away tears, “You know how you mentioned you turned your friends into clowns?” 
“Well, get everything ready. History of this circus is about the repeat itself.” She then sees the clown costume Kaptain Krazy offered her. She sees a bottle of glitter and sprinkes the clown dress, yellow bloomers, purple tights, striped socks, and Mary Jane shoes. It then magically whirled into a confetti cup where I will use for a special clown.
The clowns quickly gathered colorful props, juggling balls, and silly costumes. They piled into a colorful clown car, laughter and excitement spilling out as they made their way to Cassies home. As the clowns gathered around the colorful clown car in the circus parking lot, excitement buzzed in the air.
The vibrant vehicle was a spectacle of colors - bright reds, yellows, blues, and greens - making it impossible to miss. The door swung open wide, inviting everyone to pile in for their adventure.
Kaptain Krazy stood at the entrance, gesturing grandly. "Alright, everyone! Let us see how many can fit into this magical ride!" A chorus of laughter erupted as the clowns began to squeeze into the car, their antics making the process a comical spectacle. Kassie climbed in, followed by Kaptain Krazy, Anna, and several other clowns, totaling fourteen. Why 14? Magic fits them in. Each clown brought unique flair and energy, filling the car with joy.
But the piece de resistance for this journey was the gigantic Jack-in-the-Box that would turn humans into clowns.
The box was square, with a rotating crank and a lid to close during the transformation. Each side of the box had a clown printed in an assorted color. Kaptain Krazy pointed to the giant suitcase they had brought along. "Now, let’s get our friend the Jack-in-the-Box ready for the show!"
The clowns gathered around the suitcase, whimsically decorated with stickers and colorful patterns. The challenge was clear: they needed to stuff the giant Jack-in-the-Box inside it without losing any of the excitement. Sprinkles (grunting as they maneuvered the Jack-in-the-Box) "Okay, on the count of three! One, two, three!"
With a comical heave, they managed to push the oversized toy into the suitcase. The suitcase bulged and creaked, but the Jack-in-the-Box fit snugly inside.
Buttons (laughing): "I hope it doesn’t pop out before we even get to Cassie’s house!" 
Cassie (giggling): "It’ll be a surprise for them! Just imagine their faces when it springs them out.
The clowns finally pushed the suitcase, securing their colorful companion inside. The clowns cheered, celebrating their teamwork and creativity.
Kaptain Krazy: (clapping his hands) "Mission accomplished! Now, everyone piles in! Let’s spread some joy and show Kassie’s family what we’re all about!"
As the clowns began to cram into the car, they laughed and jostled for space, determined to make room for one more. The scene was a beautiful chaos of colors and laughter, embodying the spirit of the circus.
Kassie squeezed in next to her friends, her heart racing with excitement. She knew this would be the start of something magical. The car was ready to hit the road, the Jack-in-the-Box safely stored, and the clowns packed tightly. They left behind a trail of laughter as they headed toward her family's house, eager to share their joy and colorful world.
Now that they had arrived at the Gilliam residence, the car was parked outside in the driveway. The whole family was there except for Dallas. Todd is 10 years old while Star, the youngest in the family, is 9. As they approached the front door, Kaptain Krazy gently knocked, and Austin opened the door. His expression shifted from confusion to surprise as he saw the colorful clowns before him.
Krazy gently knocked, and Austin opened the door, his expression shifting from confusion to surprise as he saw the colorful clowns before him. Cassie came up and said, “; Hello, daddy.” Austin replied, “Daddy?” as his wife Susan stepped up and wondered why there were clowns outside.
Kaptain Krazy and the other clowns burst into the scene; their energy infectious. Kaptain Krazy: (with a grand gesture) "Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the circus! We’re here to show you what life can be like when you embrace the joy of being a clown!"
Austin and Susan exchanged bewildered glances. Star and Todd peered around their parents; eyes wide with curiosity. When Kassie's mother stepped forward, her brow furrowed.
Susan: "What is all this? Kassie, what are you doing?"
Cassie (smiling brightly): "I’m here to show you how amazing this life can be! We want you to experience the joy and freedom of being part of the circus! 
“Kaptain Krazy (enthusiastically): "We know life has been tough, but we want to share a new way of living with you. It’s about laughter, adventure, and a community that supports one another."
Cassie (pleading): "Please, just give it a chance. You wouldn’t have to worry about money or being homeless. The circus takes care of its own. And if you ever want to head out into the real world, you can wear rubber masks that look just like you!"
Todd: (eyes sparkling) "That sounds so cool!" 
Star: (giggling) "Can I wear a silly costume, too?" Austin and Susan exchanged glances, the weight of their responsibilities evident in their expressions. 
Austin: (sighing) "Kassie, we appreciate this, but we can’t just leave our lives behind. We have jobs and bills. We can’t just disappear." Cassie felt her heart sink but knew she had to push through.
Kassie: (her voice trembling) "But Dad, think about all the stress we go through every day. The constant worry about money, the fear of losing our home. The circus can take care of all that. You wouldn’t have to wake up every day feeling stressed and overwhelmed. You could focus on happiness, on being together as a family."
Susan says, “Kassie, enough of the nonsense. Get that makeup off you now.” She grabs a wet rag and tries to wipe the makeup off her daughter's face. The damp rag moves across her skin, but the clown white chalk seems to smear slightly instead of coming off, leaving streaks of color behind. 
“What is this?” Susan exclaimed; her eyes wide with disbelief as she continued to rub harder. “Kassie, this isn’t coming off!” Cassie felt frustration and sadness as her mother's efforts proved futile.” Mom, it’s not just makeup! This is who I am now. The clown white is part of my new life - my new skin!”
Susan paused, realization dawning on her face. “You mean? this is permanent? Cassie nodded, her heart heavy but resolute. “Yes, Mom. I’ve found happiness in the circus. This is my family now, and I want you to see that. Please, don’t be upset.” Austin stepped closer, his expression softening as he took in the scene. “Kassie, we just want what is best for you. But this is so different from what we know.”  Kassie took a deep breath, feeling the weight of their concern. “I understand. But if you give it a chance, I promise you’ll see how amazing this life can be. The circus is full of laughter and love, and I want you all to participate.
"Susan replies, “What about our friends? Family? Everyone we all know and love?” 
 Cassie (stepping closer, tears in her eyes): "You wouldn’t lose anything; you’d be gaining so much more! Imagine a life filled with laughter, love, and adventure. Please, just think about it. Besides we can turn rubber masks 100% identical to cover your clown body." 
Kaptain Krazy: (smiling warmly) "We promise you won’t regret it. Join us for a day filled with laughter, and if you love it, we can talk about making the circus a part of your lives."
With Kassie's parents finally convinced to leave their financial struggles behind, excitement filled the air as they prepared to embrace their new life as clowns. Todd and Star, thrilled by the prospect of becoming part of the circus, were bubbling over with enthusiasm. Dallas was not home, but that did not dampen their spirits. “I suppose I will do anything turning into something silly. It might just get us out of this trouble,” Austin said, trying to mask his nervousness with a smile.
Kaptain Krazy and Anna exchanged knowing glances, ready to warn the siblings about the transformation they were about to undergo. "Now, just remember, once you become clowns, your clowns forever," Anna said, her voice severe but still cheerful.
"Yes, your skin will be chalk clown white, your noses will be bulbous and round," Kaptain Krazy added with a flourish, "And your hair will change too! You will have a clown smile around your mouths, and your lips will be a little elastic, just like mine!" He tugged at his exaggerated smile for emphasis. Todd and Star looked at each other, excitement mixing with a hint of apprehension. 
“We understand!” they chimed in unison, ready to plunge.
“Alright then! Let’s bring out the magical Jack-in-the-Box!” Kaptain Krazy announced, reaching for the suitcase they had stuffed the giant toy into earlier. 
With a dramatic flourish, the clowns opened the bag and carefully pulled out the whimsical Jack-in-the-Box, its brightly painted exterior shimmering under the light.
“Alright, Susan, you’re up first!” Kaptain Krazy said, gesturing for her to step forward. The clowns opened the lid to the Jack-in-the-Box, and with their help, Susan climbed inside, a mix of excitement and uncertainty on her face. They shut the lid, locking in the magic. 
“Okay, everyone, we need your help to make something magical happen! We’ll count down from five,” Kaptain Krazy declared. “Cassie, would you do the honors? "Cassie nodded, her heart racing with anticipation as she began to rotate the crank on the side of the Jack-in-the-Box. 
The mechanism started to spin, creating a whimsical sound that filled the air. “FIVE… four… three… two… one!” With a final turn, the crank stopped, and the clowns all stepped back, their eyes sparkling excitedly. They opened the lid of the Jack-in-the-Box, and as the lid swung open, Susan stood up and transformed into a clown before their very eyes.
Her hair had changed dramatically and now a vibrant shade of electric blue, styled into a wild, spiky do that stood tall and proud, giving her a playful, energetic look. The bright color contrasted beautifully with her chalk-white skin, and her bulbous red nose gleamed delightfully.
“Welcome to the circus, Susan!” Kaptain Krazy cheered, clapping his hands together. “Now, who’s next?” After Susan's transformation into a clown, the excitement in the air was palpable as Austin, Todd, and Star prepared to follow her lead. Each family member was eager to embrace their new identities, ready to leave behind their past struggles and step into a vibrant world of laughter and joy.
Austin was the first to take the plunge. He climbed into the Jack-in-the-Box with a mix of apprehension and excitement. The clowns counted down together, and when the lid opened, Austin emerged transformed. His skin was now a bright chalk white, and his nose had taken on a large, bulbous shape painted a vivid red. His hair had changed to a wild, afro orange.
Next was Todd, who eagerly climbed into the box, his excitement evident. After the countdown, he burst forth, his transformation equally delightful. Todd's skin was now chalk white, but his nose was a fresh, round red. His hair had transformed into a bright green mohawk that stood straight up, giving him an edgy look.
Finally, it was Stars turn. She climbed into the Jack-in-the-Box with bubbly enthusiasm. After the countdown, she emerged, and gasps of delight filled the air. Stars skin had turned the same chalk white, but her nose was a cheerful, round red. Her hair had transformed into her normal medium length, except there were bangs. The color was pink.
As the transformations settled in, the clowns gathered around their newly minted family members, their faces beaming excitedly. Kaptain Krazy clapped his hands together, drawing everyone's attention.
“Alright, everyone, gather around!” he boomed with enthusiasm. “You’ve just decided to change into clowns, which means you must dispose of your human clothes and wear these fabulous outfits!” With that, the clowns began to pull out various colorful costumes from a nearby trunk, each more whimsical than the last. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation as they unveiled the outfits.
Austin wore a colorful clown jumpsuit with oversized patchwork pants, bright polka dots, and a matching oversized jacket with large, floppy shoes that squeaked with every step. His costume was adorned with colorful pom-poms and ruffles that bounced as he moved, enhancing his silly demeanor. 
Todd sported a vibrant, striped clown outfit with mismatched sleeves - one a bright yellow and the other a bold purple. His pants were baggy and decorated with stars, and he wore oversized, colorful clown shoes adorned with bells that jingled with every step.
Star decided to pick a multicolored, frilly dress that flowed out like a tutu, complete with layers of tulle in shades of purple, blue, and yellow. Her costume was accented with sparkles and glitter, making her shine even brighter. Star’s shoes were bright red with yellow laces, completing her joyful clown outfit. She also wore purple tights and orange striped socks. 
Star then came to the clowns and her family, “Mommy, Daddy, Look! I'm a Clown Princess.” Susan replies, “Yes, you are my little clown.” Star tap dances in joy. Anna steps in. “Hahaha, you're such an adorable clown, Star. I'm Anna, and I will always be there for you.” Star replies, “I love you, Anna,” as she runs and hugs her. She accidentally presses her nose against Anna's body in the hug, leaving a “Honk, honk.” The family starts laughing.
As the excitement continued, Kaptain Krazy turned to Susan, who was also looking forward to her clown transformation. “And we can’t forget about you, Susan! You get to wear something extraordinary!” The clowns gathered around, pulling out a vibrant, eye-catching costume that would reflect Susan's new clown persona. The costume consisted of a playful, oversized dress that flowed with ruffles and layers. It was a kaleidoscope of colors—bright pink, sunny yellow, and electric blue—each hue dancing together in a joyful display. “Here’s your dress!” one of the clowns exclaimed, holding it up for her to see. 
The dress was adorned with large, cartoonish flowers and vibrant polka dots, giving it a whimsical, cheerful look that perfectly matched her new personality. To complement the dress, they presented her with a pair of fluffy, oversized clown shoes in bright red, complete with yellow laces that added to the playful theme. “These will make you bounce joyfully!” another clown said with a wink.
Kaptain Krazy (with a flourish) “Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the fabulous Susan the Clown! Look at those colors!”  Susan (spinning around): “I can’t believe how vibrant this dress is! It’s so fun! I feel like a walking party! “Todd (giggling): “You look like a fairy tale character who fell into a box of crayons!” 
Star (clapping her hands): “Mom, you’ll be the best clown ever! I love your hair!” Austin: (grinning) “Yeah, and those shoes! They’re huge! “You’ll be bouncing around like a spring!” Cassie says, “You look amazing, Mom! This is going to be so much fun!” Susan (laughing): “I never would’ve imagined I'd be wearing something like this. But you know what? I love it! It feels liberating!”
Kaptain Krazy: “And that's the spirit! Embrace the silliness! Being a clown is about joy and laughter!”  (pointing at his outfit): “Look at me! I’m like a walking rainbow! Can you believe how cool this mohawk is?” Austin, “hey honey, Todd, Star, Kassie – lets honk our noses at the same time as a family” “HONK, HONK” “HONK, HONK” “HONK, HONK” “HONK HONK” HONK, HONK” The whole family starts laughing now that their lives have changed forever. They can finally start over. Susan says, “Ah the joy. I haven’t felt this way in a long time. Thank you, Kassie, my beloved daughter.” Cassie hugs and kisses her mom.
Star: “You're like a funky rockstar clown, Todd! I love your vest!” Austin: (striking a pose) “And I’m a classic clown, ready to squeak my way into everyone's hearts!&”; Cassie then tells her family she is no longer Kassie with a K. She is Cassie with a C. Cassie the Clown. As the chaos of laughter and excitement filled the air, a car pulled into the driveway, interrupting the joyful scene. The door swung open, and out stepped Dallas, her expression shifting from confusion to shock.
“What the fuck?” she exclaimed, taking in the sight of her family and the colorful clowns surrounding them. Dallas is 23, working at a job she just got home from. Just then, Susan and Star then burst from the house, eyes sparkling excitedly. “Dallas! Your home!” they shouted, running toward her.
“What the hell are all you? Why are you freak clowns doing at my family’s home?” Dallas demanded, her voice a mix of disbelief and frustration. “Hahaha! We’re here to honk, honk, and make you become like us!” Kaptain Krazy said with a wide grin, his clown nose bouncing as he spoke.
“HELL NO, FREAKS! GO AWAY!”  Dallas shouted, clearly overwhelmed. She rushed inside, her heart racing as she scanned the living room, filled with colorful clowns and bright decorations. “Mom? Kassie? Where are you?” she called out, looking for any sign of her family amid the chaos.
As she searched, Kassie suddenly appeared before her, a big smile on her face. “What are you looking for, sister?” Dallas paused, her heart dropping as she took in her sister's clownish appearance. “Kassie? is that you,” she stammered, eyes widening in disbelief.
“Yes, Dallas, it’s me!” Kassie replied, stepping aside to reveal the rest of their family behind her, all clad in colorful clown costumes. Dallas's eyes darted around, her expression mixing confusion and horror. “Why are you dressed like freak clowns?!” she exclaimed, her voice rising in pitch. Cassie replies, “We’re clowns. Real clowns. You will see what its like when you become a clown like us.” 
Dallas, “haha, yeah, no thank you. That’s not a funny joke but all you are. You are weird old freaks!”
Star’s face fell, and she began to cry. “We’re clowns now—real clowns! That means none of our hair or makeup is just makeup; it's real!” Dallas laughed, trying to grasp the situation. “Okay, okay, you got me. This is some joke, right?”
Silence enveloped the room as the clowns exchanged puzzled looks, unsure how to react. “I’ll prove it!” Dallas declared determination in her eyes. She grabbed a nearby rag, wet it, and rushed back toward her family. “Let me show you. I just need to rub it on your face.”
With a swift motion, she rubbed the rag against Cassie's face, expecting at least some of the clown makeup to smear. But as she rubbed, nothing happened. The chalk-white skin remained untouched, the colors vibrant and alive. 
“What the-?” Dallas stared her mouth agape. She turned to Susan, then Todd and Star, rubbing the rag against their faces, but nothing changed. “This can’t be real!” she exclaimed, her voice rising in disbelief.
Kaptain Krazy stepped forward, trying to lighten the mood. “Welcome to the new reality, dear Dallas! We’re here to spread joy and laughter whether you like it or not!”  Dallas stood there, her mind racing as she processed the reality of the situation. Her family was now a vibrant, colorful circus troupe, and the realization hit her hard. “You guys, you’re serious, aren’t you?”
“Yes!” Cassie said, her eyes shining with excitement. “We’re clowns now! And it’s amazing!” Dallas took a deep breath, her initial shock slowly transforming into a mix of disbelief and grudging acceptance. “So, the makeup won't come off? Why?”
Kaptain Kazy says, “Because we’re real clowns. We have magic that permanently turns humans into clowns.” Anna says, “Yes, it mixes your human cells with clown cells. Your skin changes. Your hair changes.” Dallas crossed her arms, her expression hardening. “Kassie, you know I hate clowns. I despise them. Why are all of you being like my freak sister?!
Austin chimed in, trying to mediate. “Dallas, enough disrespecting u-““Disrespect you!? Don’t you see I fear clowns? I hate them! I destroyed anything I saw in my way!” Dallas snapped, “Go to hell!” her voice rising. Kassie felt a wave of anger wash over her as memories flooded back flashbacks of Dallas tearing apart her clown costume, ripping the fabric, and throwing her equipment away in a rage. It hurt to remember, but she knew this wasn’t about the past but the present.
Susan stepped in, her tone calm but firm. “I know, Dallas. We don’t mean to push this on you. We’re not here to force you, but please consider why we’re doing this. We found joy in being clowns, and we joined to escape from our hard lives. Like c’mon, we can hardly pay our bills. Just please understand the joy.” Dallas narrowed her eyes; skepticism was still evident. “Okay, shoot. What’s so great about being a clown?”
Kassie took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts. Anna says, “It’s more than just the costumes and makeup. It’s about bringing joy to others, making people laugh, and creating a community. When I joined the circus, I felt accepted and loved. I found a family in the clowns, and it changed my life.”
Todd jumped in; his enthusiasm was infectious. “And it’s not just about us! Think about how many people we can make smile! Clowns bring happiness, and we’re spreading that everywhere we go.” Star wiped her tears, looking at her sister earnestly. “You don’t have to be scared, Dallas. We’re still us - just with a little more color and fun! You could join us and experience it for yourself!”
“But I can’t just flip a switch and love clowns because you do”
Dallas replied, her voice softening but still guarded. “What if it’s not for me? What if I really can’t stand it? Kaptain Krazy stepped forward, a warm smile on his face. “That’s okay, Dallas! You don’t have to love it right away. Just give it a chance. You might surprise yourself. It's all about fun and laughter, and you can always come back to us if it’s not for you.”
Dallas looked around at her family, clad in their colorful costumes, laughter, and joy radiating from them. She could see how happy they were, how alive they felt. “I just don’t want to change,” she said quietly. Susan reached out, placing a comforting hand on Dallas's shoulder. “You don’t have to change who you are, sweetheart. We are still your family; no matter what, we love you. Just consider joining us for a day. You might find something you did not expect.” 
Dallas hesitated, looking from her family to the clowns, who smiled at her and encouraged her with their eyes. “Fine,” she sighed, rolling her eyes with a hint of a smile. I will deal with you; you are. But I am not staying here. I am not around you anymore. Goodbye. I love you.” Dallas then walked out near the door.
However, Cassie says, “You're not going anywhere.” Dallas replies, “What is that supposed to mean?” Cassie replies, “What you did to mean years ago. You destroyed my clown costume, balls, unicycle, and whoopee cushions. For that, you will pay.” Dallas replies, “What are you talking about?” Cassie says, “Put her in the Jack-in-the-box.” Kaptain Krazy says, “Cassie, I thought we weren’t forcing people.” Susan replies, “Yes, Cassie, you can’t force her into the tribe.” Cassie yells, “Did you not just hear me? She destroyed the things I loved as a little girl. She destroyed my costumes and everything. She and her friends bullied me for dressing up like a clown.” Susan sighed. Cassie then said, “That’s what I thought. Now do it!”
Two clowns are behind Dallas as she asks “Wait, wha- ah, let me go,” the two clowns, Sprinkles and Buttons, grab and retrain her. “What are you doing?!”
Anna opens the lid to the box as Dallas struggles to break free. Let me go, you freaks. They pulled a chair so Dallas could put her feet on so they could lift Dallas into the box. The clowns did not immediately close it, but they surrounded the box laughing.
Dallas says, “Wha- what are you doing? What's going on?” Cassie then came forward and said, “This is your punishment.” Dallas, who was nervous and did not understand what was happening, said, “Punishment? What do you mean.” Cassie replies, Hahaha, we're going to turn you into a clown.” Dallas started trembling as she remembered that her family had become permanent clowns.
“No, please, Kassie, listen. I'm sorry for everything. I truly mean it. I am sorry for hurting the things you love. Please Kassie listens, I’m sorry. For everything. For the bullying to destroying what you love. I swear I am sorry.” Dallas was in tears as Cassie came closer; Cassie hugged Dallas. Cassie sighs and says, “I forgive you. I am sorry for pushing what I love onto you. I am too sorry.” Cassie lets go as she still shaking, “Please, don't turn me into a clown.” Susan, “Dallas, just accept it. You at least won't have to worry about our financial struggles.” Still panicking, Dallas said, “No, I do not want to be a clown. Please don't do that to me!” Cassie says, “You still hurt me. This is payback for what you did to me.
Mom, Dad! Do something!” Austin replies, Dallas, “think about our freedom as a family. No more financial struggles. Nothing.”  
Dallas replies, “But I have a boyfriend!” Star says, “We can have him join the circus, too!” Dallas then says, Todd, someone please vouch for me. Todd replies, “Too bad, we’re making you become one of us. I can’t imagine a world without my eldest sister.” Kaptain Krazy says, “All alright. Close the lid.” The clowns close the lid, forcing Dallas to sit in the box.
Dallas tries so hard to break free, but there are no gaps or spaces to escape. "Let me out of here!" as she continues to bang inside the Jack-In-The-Box. Cassie says, “Alright, everyone, you know the drill!” While Dallas continues to try to break free, “Five… Four…” Dallas starts spinning like a tornado, “three… two… one.” Then, the spinning comes to a halt. The lid of the box opens. Confetti shoots out of the sky. Dallas stands up. She has been transformed into a clown. Dallas looks downward, is shocked, and screams, “Ahhhhhhh. No, it can't be real.”
Dallas jumps over the box and runs straight to the bathroom. She screams in horror in the mirror of herself. Her skin was pure clown white; her nose was a bulbous red clown nose, red elastic lips with a red smile around her mouth like everyone else, and a blue, red, yellow, and green clown afro. What have you done to me?! I’m a clown!?” she screamed, panic rising. The clowns erupted in laughter, cheering for the newest member of their colorful family, while Cassie stood there, a mix of satisfaction and empathy swirling within her. She had gotten her payback, but she also knew that this was just the beginning for Dallas. 
Whether she liked it or not, they were now united in this new, chaotic, and vibrant life as clowns.
Star says, “Look, Dallas, you're an adorable and silly clown now!” She tries to get the clown nose off her nose, only for it to stretch out like rubber; it was attached to her. “No, I won't accept this! Change me back. Now.” Anna says, “Too bad, you are a real clown now. We don't have magic to change you back into a human.”  
Dallas, still angrily upset, is in tears. She runs to the back of the room and grabs a shotgun. “Dallas, I know you are upset; I know you didn't want to go down this path. Everyone besides Cassie didn't want this for you. But it is what it is. Like your dad said, you will be free of financial struggles,” said Kaptain Krazy.
“Why should I believe you?” Dallas replies. Kaptain Krazy then uses his gloves to magically create a rubber human face/head/mask 100% identical to Dallas. Cassie faces her family: “See. I told you can go out looking like our human selves. We can go out in public without being noticed as clowns.”
Cassie stepped closer to Dallas, her expression softening as she saw the fear in her sister’s eyes. “Dallas, I know this is overwhelming, but it’s not so bad! You will get have to accept and used to it. Just look at Mom, Todd, and Star – they are all happy!”
Dallas’s eyes darted around, taking in her family’s colorful appearances. They were laughing and embracing their new identities, but all she could feel was dread. “I don’t want to be like this! I don’t want to be a freak!” Kaptain Krazy, noticing Dallas’s distress, approached her with a warm smile. “Now, now, Dallas! Being a clown is not about being a freak but embracing joy and spreading laughter! You can see the world in a whole new way!”
Slowly, as the confetti settled around her, Dallas began to feel the moment's energy seep into her. She lowered the gun and dropped it to the ground. The clowns were genuinely happy, and despite her initial panic, she could sense a strange allure to their way of life. As Dallas stood there, still processing the shock of her transformation, the laughter of the clowns filled the air, creating a chaotic and celebratory atmosphere. She stumbled back, her mind racing with disbelief and confusion. “What have you done to me?! I’m a clown!?” Dallas shouted, her voice a mix of panic and frustration. Her heart racing, she looked for a way out of this bizarre situation. Dallas begins crying. “I’m a freak. I’m a weirdo *sobbing”
Cassie stepped closer, her expression softening as she saw the fear in her sister’s eyes. “Dallas, I know this is overwhelming, but it is not so bad! You will get used to it. Just look at Mom, Todd, and Star; they are all happy!” Dallas’s eyes darted around, taking in her family’s colorful appearances. They were laughing and embracing their new identities, but all she could feel was dread. “I do not want to be like this! I don’t want to be a freak!”
Kaptain Krazy, noticing Dallas’ distress, approached her with a warm smile. “Now, now, Dallas! Being a clown isn't about being a freak but embracing joy and spreading laughter! You can see the world in a whole new way!” Slowly, as the confetti settled around her, Dallas began to feel the moment's energy seep into her. The clowns were genuinely happy, and despite her initial panic, she could sense a strange allure to their way of life.
“Look,” Cassie said, her tone encouraging. “You don’t have to change who you are. You can still be yourself with just a little more color and fun! We’re family and want you to be part of this with us” Dallas hesitated, glancing at the joyful faces of her family.” But what about my life? My friends? My boyfriend?" 
Star said, “You can bring them into this life, too! We can have the most amazing circus performances and make everyone laugh together!” As the clowns began to demonstrate their antics - juggling, pratfalls, and silly dances - Dallas could not help but feel a flicker of curiosity. This was not the end of her world, but rather a new beginning.
With a deep breath, she looked at Kassie, her expression shifting from fear to uncertainty. “I guess I could try it. But I am not promising anything!” The clowns erupted into cheers, celebrating her tentative acceptance. “That's the spirit!” Kaptain Krazy said, clapping his hands. “Now, let's show you the ropes, Dallas!”
As the family gathered around, they began teaching her the clowning basics. They showed her how to juggle colorful balls, perform silly tricks, and even make balloon animals. With each passing moment, Dallas felt some of her apprehension fade away. Sure, she might not have chosen this path, but there was something undeniably joyful about the chaos and laughter surrounding her. 
As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the scene, Dallas laughed for the first time, a genuine sound that felt foreign yet freeing. “Okay, okay! Maybe being a clown is not so bad after all” The family erupted in laughter, and in that moment, the fear that had gripped her dissipated, replaced by a sense of belonging she hadn’t anticipated.
From that day on, Dallas embraced her new identity as a clown, learning to balance her previous life with this vibrant, joyful existence. Together with her family, she discovered the power of laughter, the joy of performing, and the freedom of living authentically.
As Dallas excitedly searched through the colorful array of costumes, her heart sank when she realized that there was not a single outfit that would fit her. “Uh, guys? there's nothing here for me!” she exclaimed, disappointment evident in her voice. Kassie frowned, her mind racing to find a solution. “Wait! I have an idea!” She dashed to a corner of the room and retrieved a shiny canister decorated with bright colors and a big label that read “Confetti Surprise! “What's that?” Dallas asked, her curiosity piqued.
Cassie grinned mischievously. “Just watch! This will be a perfect way to get you into the perfect clown costume!” With everyone gathered around, Kassie popped open the canister. A burst of colorful confetti shot into the air, filling the room with a sparkling cascade of colors. The confetti began to fall, swirling around Dallas like a magical whirlwind.
“Whoa!” Dallas exclaimed, caught off guard as the vibrant confetti enveloped her. It wrapped around her body, latching onto her like a birthday present being unwrapped. 
As the last confetti settled, it transformed into a stunning clown outfit: a playful dress with fluff underneath, yellow bloomers, bright purple tights, and Mary Jane shoes, silly socks! Turns out, that was Cassies original clothes that Kaptain Krazy offered. Dallas gasped; her eyes wide with amazement. “I can’t believe it! This is incredible!” She twirled in her new costume, feeling the fabric swirl around her. 
Cassie and the rest of the family cheered, celebrating the magical transformation. “Now you look just like us!” Cassie beamed.
But as the excitement settled, a more severe idea took root in Cassie’s mind. “You know, we need to let go of our past and fully embrace our new lives,” she said, looking around at the remnants of their old selves. Susan nodded, understanding her daughter's perspective. “You're right. It is time to say goodbye to our human memories once and for all.”
With a determined look, Cassie gathered the family in the living room. They collected all their human belongings, old photos, keepsakes, and mementos, placing them in a pile. The clowns formed a circle around the pile, and Kassie pulled out a lighter. “Are we doing this?” Dallas asked, her voice trembling slightly “Its time, Dallas,” Cassie replied firmly. “We need to let go so we can fully embrace our new life.” With a flick of the lighter, Cassie ignited the pile.
Flames danced and crackled, consuming their old memories in a fiery blaze. The warmth of the fire surrounded them, and the glow illuminated their colorful costumes, making them look even more vibrant. As the last of the old memories along with their house turned to ash, Cassie beamed at her family. “C’mon, family! Let us go home to the circus!”
They all joined hands, a tight-knit circle of love and laughter, and they skipped their way to the clown car parked outside together. The tiny vehicle was colorful and whimsical, adorned with bright paint and oversized wheels. 
As they squeezed into the clown car with Anna, Buttons, Sprinkles, Tootles, Jellybean, Flora, Bubbles, Jingles, Giggles, Patches, Doodles, Tootles, Floppy, Zippy, Buttons, with Kaptain Krazy as the driver, laughter erupted, filling the air with joy. ‘This is going to be the best adventure ever!’ Dallas exclaimed, her heart racing with excitement.
“And Dallas, I'm Cassie with the C now. Cassie the Clown.” Dallas replies, “Oh, well, that makes sense. With Kaptain Krazy at the wheel, they drove off into the sunset, ready to embrace their new lives as a family of clowns. The past was behind them, and a vibrant, joyful future awaited.
The end!
