The Chosen Clown

The Chosen Clown is an episode of Little Clowns of Happytown.

## Synopsis

A very special occasion is happening in Happytown: Tickles' Aunt Bubbly and Uncle Chortle are adopting a boy named Chuck. The Little Clowns are celebrating with a barbecue to make sure Chuck feels right at home. Geek and Whiner are watching the fun and Awful Bebad comes up with a way to gloom it. Geek releases the secret weapon and causes destruction in the mansion. Aunt Bubbly wants everything to be perfect for Chuck's arrival while Chortle knows Chuck will love it. When Chuck arrives, the Little Clowns discover he's not a real clown and Hiccup wonders if Bubbly and Chortle can still adopt him. Tickles explains that Chuck doesn't have to be a clown to fit into the family. Bubbly and Chortle are happy to see Chuck and the adoption agent explains that if everyone is happy with each other, they can be a real family. Bebad plans a way to gloom Chuck so it will never happen. Chuck is making friends with the Little Clowns and entertains them with a trick that they think is really clowny. When it is time to eat, Chuck has trouble adjusting to being clowny but the Little Clowns assure him that he'll get used to it. Bebad announces that he'll get used to being gloomed too. As the party continues, Chortle gives Chuck his pocket watch and Tickles is happy that they are one big clowny family. That night, Bebad approaches Tickles' house disguised as Chuck's Fairy Clownmother. He gives him a clown stone that is really a gloom stone and promises he'll be a clown in no time. The next morning, everything goes wrong when Chuck prepares breakfast. Chuck believes he's not meant to be a clown and runs away. A gloom alert goes off and the Little Clowns discover that Bebad has tricked Chuck. They set out to stop it, but Bebad is convinced his Gloomy Radar Tracker will find Chuck first. He finds Geek and Whiner using his device as a washtub to do laundry and orders them to help him find Chuck before the Little Clowns do. Chuck is wandering through Happytown seeing kids happy with their families, convinced he'll never be like them. He comes to an alley and ends up in trouble. When Big Top, Badum-Bump, Hiccup, Pranky, and Rover are about to be gloomed by Bebad, Pranky tries to stop Bebad with a pie but Bebad gets away. Blooper and Tickles eventually find Chuck in the alley while Bebad is pursued by Big Top, Badum-Bump, Hiccup, Pranky, and Rover. Thanks to Bebad making the street gloomy, they manage to follow him. Chuck tells Blooper and Tickles that he can't go home because he's not clowny enough and that he broke Chortle's watch. Tickles tells him she can fix it but she can't fix Bubbly and Chortle's broken hearts if he leaves. Blooper tells him that Bubbly and Chortles love him and they don't care how clowny he acts, they care about what he's like on the inside. Chuck cheers up and wants to go home, but Bebad appears disguised as the Fairy Clownmother to tell them just how gloomy things are going to be. Big Top, Badum-Bump, Hiccup, Pranky, and Rover arrive just in time to stop Bebad, and Chuck believes he has what it takes to be a clown after all. The Little Clowns join Bubbly, Chortle, and Chuck for a Chinese dinner where Chortle gives Chuck the fixed pocket watch and everyone welcomes him into the clowny family.
