Everyone was asleep apart from Cassie in Nancy's basement as she sketched a picture of Max, watching her as she slept. Max stirred awake. "Hi." Cassie said softly, focusing on Max's freckles. 

"Are you watching me sleep?"

"Yeah. I don't need you dying on my watch. Literally." she said. 

"What are you doing awake?" Max stood up. 

"I slept earlier on." Cassie lied, ripping the page from the book handing it to Max. 

"Thanks. You're really good." Max said as she looked at the paper. Max placed it in her bag, grabbing the envelope. "This is for you." Cassie took the paper. "It's just in case, you know, if Vecna comes back and Kate Bush isn't there to save me."

"If you die, I die." she held the girl close. "You're one of the last people I have left. That I truly love." The two hugged. 

"I'm going to get something to eat. Are you coming?"

"I'm not really hungry." Max went upstairs whilst Cassie got comfortable as she began drawing but she heard the walkie-talkie. 

"Hey, Dustin, this is Eddie the Banished. You there?"

"Eddie, it's Cassie." she said picking it up, placing her book and the pencils to the side. 

"Cass! Hey. Um, I'm gonna need a food delivery, like, really soon, unless you want me going out into the world."

"No. Don't do that. Stay where you are, and I'll be there as soon as I can." Cassie said. 

"Listen, um... can you pick me up a six-pack? I know, it's stupid as shit, drinking right now, but a cold beer would really calm my jangled nerves."

"Yeah, anything else."

"No, it's all good." Cassie let the walkie-talkie go. She walked over to Steve who was snoring quite loudly. She shook him awake. 

"Steve." she shook him again. "Steve." the blonde tapped his face. 

"Mmhm?" he moaned as he adjusted himself. 

"I'm doing delivery for Eddie."

"Yeah, yeah, okay." he waved her off clearly still half asleep.

Cassie arrived with a six pack with fruit and veg. "Eddie?" she wandered into the boathouse. 

"Oh my God finally! Food!" he disregarded her and went straight for the bag. 

"Hi to you too." she rolled her eyes. 

"Bananas? Lettuce?" he turned to the blonde. "What the hell is this?"

"Food." she sat in a chair. 

"When I said food I meant pizza or chips. Something along those lines."

"You can't be on the run and eat junk food." she stated. "Come on. I'll show you real food." Cassie grabbed the bag and Eddie grabbed the six pack. Very sneakily they snuck into Reefer Rick's house.

About half an hour had passed and Cassie had made them Eggos with strawberries. They sat at the table with the food. "You can't live off pizza." she said, placing the plate in front of him. 

"Yes I can." Eddie took a bite of the Eggo. "But this certainly doesn't help. What are you freaking Houdini?!" he shoved the food in his mouth. 

"Houdini didn't do actual magic." she took a sip of the beer that Eddie helpfully opened whilst she cooked.
