"Ready?"
"Just count to three."

Adelaide Flint could swear living in Derry was a nightmare, and the summer of '89 only proved that to be true. But maybe Derry isn't so bad. That was, after all, where he was...

"Best feeling ever!" Stan uttered with huge relief as he held his bag upside down above the trashcans, emptying the object of it's contents while the other boys did the same. Adelaide only looked at their smiling faces with a smirk as she shook her head.
Adelaide stood between Eddie and Stan and Stan was standing beside Richie who stood beside Bill. All five of them were huddled around the trashcans as the boys threw their school things into the cans.
"Yeah? Try tickling your pickle for the first time," Richie blurted out with smug.
"Yours aren't even grown, Richie," Adelaide snorted.
"Oh yeah? You wanna see?" He retorted, slinging the backpack over his shoulder.
"Beep beep, Richie," Adelaide reminded with a slight giggle forming in the back of her throat.
"Pussy," he scoffed.
"Fuckface," she retorted.
Richie was about to snap something back with the way he opened his mouth but was interrupted from saying anything further when Bill went, "Beep beep, Richie."
Richie glared at Adelaide but not really angry in any way, more playful and jokingly. "You're lucky you got Big Bill protecting you or I would've-"
Adelaide was about to return something as well but was then stopped by Eddie who went, "Beep beep, Del." Adelaide turned her gaze to Eddie and rose her brows but he only gave a small nod and she turned back to look at Richie who now wore a smug smirk on his face. "Hey what do you guys wanna do tomorrow?" Eddie broke the short silence.
"I start my training," Richie pushed the rim of his glasses again as he looked to Eddie, his face was serious with no humor that it usually held.
"Wh-What training?" Eddie inquired.
"Street Fighter," Richie stated in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Is that how you wanna spend your summer? Inside of an arcade?" Eddie questioned with slight awe mixed with disbelief.
Richie sighed as he looked down to the ground, "Beats spending inside of your mother." Adelaide snorted involuntarily and Richie proudly brought his hand up to high-five Stan but Stan was shaking his head in disapproval -as he always did- and pushed Richie's arm down, and Adelaide only laughed harder.
"What if we go to the quarry?" Stan suggested.
Adelaide knew why he suggested something like that. Something a little, un-Stan-like. Hell, everyone knew why he suggested it, even Bill. They already made plans. Well, Bill already made plans and even though each of them did agree with it, none of them -except Bill-, really wanted it. They only said yes because it was Bill. And it was hard to say no to Bill, especially when what he wanted to do was related to his missing -dead- brother.
