                       SOON ENOUGH, the five made it right in front of Eddie's trailer.

"Right here," Eddie announced.

Dustin you better be right about your theory, Sam thought as she jumped off of her bike and followed the group towards the door of the trailer. On their way to Eddie's trailer though, they came across the Creel house in its Upside Down version only it had like dozens of bats growling, screeching and flying around the top of the house. Creepy and fucking scary, Sam wasn't going to lie.

"That's gotta be a Guinness World Record. Most miles traveled interdimensionally." Robin commented as they walked.

"Just inhaled a bunch of that crap." Steve groaned, coughing in the process. "It's stuck in my throat."

Eddie yanked the trailer's door and they all piled inside it. To no one's surprise, the trailer was same as Nancy's house only, of curse, smaller.

Above the livingroom, on the rooftop, stood the gate. A red shimmering membrane with black vines surrounding it. From small vines to big vines. The ash swam around it and it got painted red because of the gate's light but god, was it scary and fucking jaw dropping. It wasn't anything like the mother gate, yes, but it was just as horrifying.

"Godamn." Steve commented, turning the flashlight off.

"This is where Chrissy died. Like, right where she died." Eddie mumbled.

"I think there's something in there." Robin said as the red membrane started to make weird noises.

They watched as something dark, like a vine, began to press onto the redness as if trying to break it. They all leaned a bit forward as Eddie asked what the hell was that but the other four didn't have answers and even if they did, they couldn't reply as the gate's membrane that was covering the real world broke so suddenly, sending weird and gross liquid to splash around, that the five yelped and scrambled back.

The five look at each other before slowly making their way under the gate, curious and hopeful.

"No way." Steve gaped.

Above them stood Dustin, Max, Lucas and Erica.

And that wasn't the weird part.

The weird part was that they stared at each other upside down. Like, the four in the real world were staring at the ceiling too. Eddie's furniture in the real world seemed put in place even though it was hanging upside down from where the five stood. It didn't fall, it didn't bulge. It was weird but holy shit, was it extra cool.

"Hi there!" Dustin said, waving and laughing.

"Hi!" Echoed the five back, all having bright smiles on their faces.

"Holy shit, this is trippy." Robin commented.

Eddie leaned to put his hands onto his knees just as Sam said, "hi Erica!"

"Hi Sam!" Replied Erica back with a smile.

"Bada-bada-boom!" Dustin shouted.

The group collectively laughed. When they all calmed down though, Dustin muttered something about having a theory of how to get the five out of the Uspide Down and so the four of them went into Eddie's room to get soft mattress for when the five needed to land. Then they tied bedsheets with knots for the feet.

"Those stains are, uh..." Eddie tried, wanting to defend himself on whatever it was as he looked at the group. Robin sent him a side eye and Eddie said, "I dunno what those stains are."
