6.

they were in two separate cars. one with mike wheeler, will, dustin, lucas, max, and eleven, and then one with bill, stan, ben, bev, richie, and eddie. mike hanlon rode his bike.

they all got to the woods at the same time, though mike hanlon was a little behind.

once everyone got there, everyone set up their tents.

mike wheeler and will shared one, so did lucas and dustin, and eleven and max.

richie and eddie shared a tent, and so did bill and stan, and ben and beverly. mike hanlon didn't mind having his own tent.

right now, they're gathered around a campfire.

"that's when i fucked your mom." richie told one of his classic 'your mom' jokes.

"that is so not funny." eddie said.

"it's all fun and games until someone doesn't have a mom." beverly joked.

"my birth mom doesn't even know you." el said. "plus, she's brain dead."

"so you're living with your dad?" ben asked.

"i don't know my birth dad. joyce and hopper adopted me."

"who's joyce?" bev asked.

"my mom, eleven's adoptive mom." will said. "she's my sister- well- step-sister."

"damn." stan said.

"anyway," lucas said. "let's get to know each other more, with a game of truth or dare."

"yeah, lets play truth or dare." max agreed.

everyone else agreed, and since it was lucas' idea, he went first.

"eleven, truth or dare?"

"truth,"

lucas thought for a moment, then he thought of a perfect one.

"have you lied to friends, even though your motto is 'friends don't lie'?"

"yes," is all she answered. "mike wheeler, truth or dare?"

"dare,"

"kiss will in front of every one."

mike shrugged, grabbing will's hand to get him up.

"do you want to?" mike asked.

"yes," will gave consent.

that's all mike needed to lean in and softly kiss will.

"best dare of my life." mike laughed. "richie, truth or dare?"

richie thought for a moment.

"truth."

"hmmmm," mike thought, then got an idea. "how long have you liked eddie?"

"since middle school i guess." richie answered.

"awww." mike said.

they kept playing truth or dare until everyone ran out of ideas.

at sometime around 3 or 4 in the morning, everyone eventually went to sleep, richie being the last one and eddie having been the first one, who went to sleep around 11.

when everyone finally woke up, they went back to rhe wheelers so everyone can run a shower and one by one everyone either went back go their house or went back to their hotel.

"that was fun." richie laughed.

"yeah, it was really fun." mike agreed.

"we should do it more often." eddie said. he might be a germaphobe but he would do anything that involves richie.

"what did you think about my friends?" mike asked.

"they were lovely. max reminded me of bev a little." richie said. "what about mine and eddies?"

"yeah, your friends are cool."

they kept talking until they heard someone coming down the stares of the basement where they were talking. mike already knowing it's his mom by the way the footsteps sound.

"hey mom," mike said without having to look.

"hey, michael, hi richie and eddie." she replied.

"do you need anything mrs. wheeler?" eddie asked.

"please, call me karen." she insisted.

eddie smiled and nodded.

"anyway, michael, your father is coming home in a bit, he wants you to clean your room." she said.

"thanks mom," mike said, still not looking up.

karen walked back up the stairs to probably the kitchen or living room.

"how'd you know who it was?" richie asked.

"trust me, when you live with strict parents, you learn footsteps sounds." eddie said. "though, karen seems nice."

"my mom is lovely most of the time. it's my father that isn't. sometimes my mom picks up my dad's habits when he's around so he stays." mike said.

"aw, man, i'm sorry. we've known each other since i was born and i had no idea." richie said.

"yeah, but you're not really around, but since you live here until your parents find a place, guess you'll find out some things. both of you will."

richies parents are trying to find a place, still. one that would fit four people. yes, eddie is going to live with them. they still haven't gotten the "okay," from sonia, but right now she doesn't matter.

eddie and richie will live together.

i'm so sorry it's been so long here's an update <3
