"But I can't leave Adrian, I'll miss him." Jack said worriedly.
"You won't have to leave him, you can be with him and work at the circus simultaneously. Everyone you know will remember you as a clown."
Jack looked at Bongo then back to the mirror. He glanced at the clown looking back at him. He looked happy and carefree.
"Let's do it." Jack confirmed.
Bongo pulled out a clown nose, stuck it on Jack, and honked it twice. Jack began giggling to himself quietly, which then exploded into a loud laughter. His skin turned milk white. He had orange triangles above and below each eye, arching black eyebrows, and a red smile that strecthed ear to ear. Jack's hair curled into a blue afro, and his clothes shifted into purple and yellow pants, with a red and green striped shirt, rainbow suspenders, and a blue and white polka dot bow tie. He looked down to she his shoes were black and white checkered bubbletoed. Finally, he grew white gloves over his hands, and had ruffles on his wrists, collar, and pant leg.
Bongo stared at Jack excited. "Welcome to the circus Jace!"
Jack, now Jace, looked in the mirror and saw his transformation was complete. He shook Bongo's hand and ran off to find Adrian.
"Jace before you go," Bongo started, "your transformation isn't only appearance. Soon your mind will transform too, making you believe you were a clown all your life. Be careful!"
Jace ran off, with Bongo's advice in his head. "My mind will shift? I've been a clown how will my mind shift? Wait. Have I been a clown?" Jace thought. Have disregarded the thought and moved on
On his way, families with toddlers stopped him to take pictures, perform magic tricks, and craft balloon animals. Jace enjoyed this and felt pleasure from this. He then saw Adrian waiting by the tent impatiently. He snuck behind him and put his white gloves over Adrian's eyes
"Guess who." Jace whispered
Adrian removed Jace's hands over his face, turned to face he clown and gave him a big kiss on the lips.
"I've been waiting forever Jace I was getting so worried. So did you get the job?"
"What job?"
"The job at the circus. Remember you applied."
"Oh yeah I forgot. I did get it though."
"I'm so proud. Let's head back home."
"Ok."
Adrian and Jace jumped in the chevy and drove home.
They both entered the apartment and sat on the couch. Adrian looked at Jace and Jace looked at Adrian. Adrian leaned forward and started kissing Jace's red smiled lips. Jace engaged in the same. Time passed and they were both shirtless making out on the couch. The phone rang and Jace stopped kissing and said, "I got it."
He flung a shirt on and grabbed the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Jace," it was Bongo, "we need you at the circus we have a show."
"Ok I'll be there."
"Who was that?" Adrian asked.
"It's Bongo. They need me at the circus for a show."
"Already? Ok good luck."
Adrian kissed Jace goodbye and Jace rushed out the door to the circus.
Jace arrived at the circus and met up with Bongo and other clowns.
"Ready for the first show?" Bongo asked.
Jace honked his nose and entered the clown car. He entered the show with the other clowns and performed unique tricks like juggling while unicycling and pulling gags on his fellow clowns.
The show ended and Jace stepped out for bows. He wa happy and loved the applause he got. He couldn't imagine what it would be like being human.
Jack was now Jace and loved being a clown, working in the circus and Adrian.
