When we get to the store, I stay in the RV with Eddie, Dustin, and Lucas. "I can see you and Harrington having six little nuggets." Eddie says as we sit next to each other. "Really." I laugh. "Yeah, you'd be an awesome mom. I'd be an awesome rocker uncle while Dustin's the geek." He makes me laugh more. "What's the plan once you graduate?" I tilt my head looking at him. "I was thinking... before you and Steve start your small little cult. Me and you find a drummer and a bass player, because my band is still in high school, and we start a new band with you being a singer. People see your talent and make us famous so you'll be able to support the dream Steve wants." He explains to me. "I'm serious, Eddie." I lean into him. "I really do mean the part about us in a band even if it's for fun. You got the vocal cords sweetheart." He holds me close to him.
"Also we still have to be best friends after we graduate." He adds. "Of course. Why would I ever wanna stop being best friends with Eddie Munson?" I kiss his cheek. "You know, if you and Steve weren't still madly head over heels for each other... I would try with you because you're too perfect to let slip away." He makes me look at him. "If I was over Steve and you tried...I would have said yes." I let him know. "Maybe in an alternate universe we do get together." He laughs. "I hope in that universe you aren't wanted for murder." I add. "Very true." He nods his head agreeing. "I love you best friend." I give him a smile. "I love you too best friend."
"What the hell is taking them so long?" Dustin says before they come rushing in. "We gotta go." Steve tells us. "Your old friends are here." Erica tells her brother before Steve gets going. After finding a good spot away from everyone, we get to work getting things ready for the fight. I for one still wasn't for it but I didn't have a choice. "How's she feeling?" Dustin asks Eddie as he tries out the trash can lid with nails. "Light. Buy durable. Deadly. But reliable." He tells us. "Hear me now. There will be no more retreating... from Eddie the Banished." Eddie makes us laugh. "Hey, you're really ready for bat-tle." Dustin chortles making me giggle while Eddie stares at him. "You get it? Bat-tle. B-A-T. No? I thought I had a good one." Dustin groans putting down his shield.

Eddie does the same then tackles him. "What are you doing?" Dustin asks making me laugh as they start to play around. "No wedgies! No wedgies!" Dustin shouts making me laugh more. "Never change. Dustin Henderson. Promise me?" Eddie stops making Dustin look at him. "I wasn't planning on it." Dustin tells him. "Good." He tells him before asking Lucas and Erica how the spears coming along. "Everything's going to be okay, Sky." Dustin tells me as I stare at the ground. "No, it's not and I can't lose anyone else important to me. I don't think I can take it mentally." I look at him tearing up. "You aren't going to lose anyone important to you. It's all going to be okay. I promise you that." Eddie bends down in front of me grabbing my hands. "You can't make promises you can't keep." I look him in the eyes.
"You don't have to worry about me though. Remember, I'm no hero." He gives me a sad smile. "Neither am I." I remind him. "And that's why we are best friends..." He says before he picks me up spinning around making me giggle. "Dustin! Save me!" I play around making him pick up his shield. "Let go of my sister!" He demands so Eddie puts me down getting his and they play around. I get up and go over to Robin and Steve while they make the mazel tov cocktails. "How you two doing?" I sit on the grass next to them. "Nervous." Robin tells me. "Me too." I pull the grass. "Sky." I hear Vecna say in Billy's voice again. "You okay?" Steve asks me. "Yeah." I get up going inside the RV to sit alone.
