Dustin, being the genius he is, came up with an idea to get us out of the upside down.

He tied together multiple different sheets to create a rope as Max and Lucas brought out Eddie's mattress.

I looked closely at his mattress to see several different stains.

"Those stains are, uh.." He looked back at Robin and I, who were already staring at him. "I don't know what those stains are."

"Mhm." Robin said.

"Right." I added. "As soon as this is all over I'm taking you shopping for a new mattress and sheet." I said to him.

Dustin walked towards the gate. "Not quite sure how these physics work. But, uh.. here goes nothing."

He threw the rope upwards, which fell to our feet.

"There we go.. And if my theory is correct.." he let go of the rope, and it remained still.

"Abracadabra."

"Holy shit!"

"Alright, pull on it! See if it holds!"

Robin started to pull on it, and it didn't move an inch. Dustin laughed as his theory proved to be successful.

"This is the craziest shit I've ever seen in my life. And I've seen some crazy shit." Erica said.

"Guess I'm the guinea pig." Robin said as she started to climb the rope.

"Let's clear the landing pad." I heard Dustin say as they all moved away from the mattress.

Robin fell down onto the mattress. "Oh my god!"

"Oh, thank god. That was fun!" Dustin helped her up off of the mattress.

I looked towards the others before I started to climb up the rope.

"Keep your eyes down here, Munson." I heard my brother whisper to Eddie.

"Sorry."

I was flipped upside down as I reached the other side of the gate, falling onto the stained mattress.

"Woah!"

Robin held out her hand for me to take.

"Thanks."

I watched as Eddie plopped down onto his mattress. "That.. was fun. Shit!" He took my hand as he stood up, dragging me into his room.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm getting you a shirt. Also.." he said as he started to look for something in his closet. "Since when did you listen to Black Sabbath?" He asked.

I shrugged as he threw an old band shirt at me. Black Sabbath. I smiled at him as I took off his denim vest, handing it to him.

"No, keep it. I like how it looks on you."

"You sure?"

"Positive."

I put on his shirt and wore his vest over it. "Got a shirt for Steve?" I asked and he nodded, handing me a shirt to give him.

He walked over to me and placed both his hands on the side of my face. He looked as if he was about to say something until Dustin barged into Eddie's room.

"Vecna's got Nancy!" He screamed.

"What?"

Everyone else ran into Eddie's room as we searched for music in Nancy's taste.

Of course, being at Eddie's trailer, who is a complete metal head, the only music he had was heavy metal.

"Steve says you need to hurry!" Erica yelled as she ran into the room.
