Once we got to Eddie's trailer, he went to his bedroom and changed his clothes whilst we all stood outside. Everyone was all ready, wearing their clothes for fighting. We just needed our gear. Which luckily we had stored here previously.

"Am I really gonna be expected to wear my pajamas to go and fight?" I said. I was still wearing my pajamas from the night before, when Eddie and I had to run from my home.

"Ask Eddie for clothes, or you could- you know, just go back home?!" Steve said sarcastically.

"I can't just go home, Steve."

"How did you even get caught in the first place? You said to me that it would be fine." Nancy said.

"We didn't mean to get caught, obviously! We just- it was thundering and i wanted to go outside so we did. And mum just so happened to be awake."

"You went out in the storm last night? For god sake Sam, you better be joking."

"I'm not joking! I don't regret it either."

"Why not? Explains why your hair is damp and your clothes are bit messed up."

"It was a fun experience that i made the most out of, who knows. Maybe me or Eddie could die. That's why."

"Fair enough. I'll just go back and get some clothes for you. I take it you don't want to see mum-"

"We don't have time to go back." Eddie came through. He chucked me a pair of jeans and a hellfire shirt. "Just borrow those. The jeans were from my uncle. He didn't realise the size was too small and that they were actually women's."

"Thank you for that life story Eddie, but uh we really must hurry up so do you mind upping your pace?" Robin said quickly.

"Absolutely. Thank you, Eddie."

I walked into his bedroom and got changed in there. There was a picture of him and his uncle sitting on his bedside table which made me smile. He held his guitar with his tongue out.

After i changed, i went back out and saw everyone holding their weapons and gear. Dustin was making the rope out of sheets for us to climb. I had left my pajama's on Eddie's bed because i had no where else to place them for now.

"We aren't going in yet. We're just getting it ready. We gotta discuss our plan." Dustin said to me.

"Yeah, totally." I answered.

"Okay so, when i stayed at Steve's-" Nancy began. "We were thinking of a plan. If Steve, Robin and I can manage to get to the creel house we can find vecna and kill him. But we need to come up with a solution. That place is surrounded by bats, and vecna needs to be occupied to one of his victims."

I looked at Eddie and nodded.

"Eddie and I can distract the bats. He has a guitar for a reason." I smiled.

"Okay great! So uh, if you and Eddie play some kind of music on it, the bats will be lured away, and towards you. So to stop you from dying-"

"We will go back through the gate." Eddie said.

"Yes." Nancy answered.

"I'm still- you know... cursed, by vecna. I can make up some sob story and try to get his attention. As long as Lucas plays my Kate Bush music, nothing will happen to me." Max started.

"We need to be able to communicate though, we need different phases." Steve said.

"I'll use a flashlight and alert those love birds when to do things because i'm sure he has no idea on what he is doing." Erica said, with sass of course pointing at Lucas.

"Erica, shut up!" He scoffed.

"Just the facts!"

"What am i meant to do?" Dustin said.

"There isn't much left for you to do Dustin. You could go into the upside down and be outside of the creel house so that you can alert Eddie and Sam when to begin the distraction?" Robin suggested.

"Alright, alright."

"Phase one, Max and the rest of you will enter the creel house, in this world. Get him to notice you. Phase two, Eddie and Sam you will draw the bats towards you once you get the signal from Dustin." Phase three," Nancy explained.

"We enter the creel house and kill that son of a bitch." Steve finished.

"That's about it." Nancy sighed.

"I'll blink the torch five times when it is time for you to begin the process. Anything else, i'm just messing with it, or testing." Dustin added.

"Got it." Me and Eddie said at the same time.

"Best get dropping you three off then," Steve said.
