Eventually we found a nice secluded clearing near the trailer park to stop at and start getting prepared for our upcoming battle.
Holding down a brand new baseball bat from the army supply store, I'm going to town nailing extra long metal spikes into the wood.
It's always good to have an extra weapon handy if I run out of ammo for my gun, and I've always wanted to have a nail bat like Steve. The little shit wouldn't ever let me use his because I'd "hurt myself."
Eddie and Dustin are kneeling next to me, doing the same with metal trash can lids to make shields for themselves.
"How's it feelin?" I ask as Eddie finishes his shield, holding it up and thrusting it out in front of him in a jab.
"Light, but durable. Deadly, but reliable. Hear me now! There will be no more retreating... from Eddie the banished." Eddie beams confidently down at me as he poses dramatically with one foot up on a milk crate.
In that moment he looked exactly like one of his dnd characters, and I couldn't take my eyes off of him.
"Okay, you're really ready for bat-tle. You get it? Battle, b-a-t." Dustin snorts at his own joke and I chuckle along with him at the pun. Eddie doesn't seem to get it though, looking between the two of us with a slightly confused look.
"No? I thought I had a good one." Dustin sighs as Eddie doesn't laugh.
Eddie just stands there for a moment admiring him silently, then out of nowhere charges at the boy in a giant bear hug, nearly knocking him to the ground by the force of it.
"What are you doing?!" Dustin cries out helplessly as Eddie drags him around easily, grinning like a fool.
"No wedgies, no wedgies! Dylan help me!" Dustin exclaims as he struggles to wrestle Eddie back.
"I think you've got it handled Dusty." I chuckle at the two boys amusedly as I watch them grapple each other for another minute. Eddie really is a great friend to Dustin.
"Never change, Dustin Henderson. Promise me?" Eddie pulls away, breathing heavily and pulling a piece of stray hair out of his mouth as he grips Dustin's shoulders tightly.
"I wasn't planning on it..." Dustin tells Eddie with a soft smile and my own smile fades for a moment at the look Eddie is giving him. It almost sounds like a goodbye...
"Good. Gooood!" Eddie grins manically, patting him on the arms as he pulls away and turns toward the Sinclair siblings who are tying hunting knifes to large sticks to make spears.
