THIRD PERSON P.O.V
The 3 of them were walking towards the park, as of there was a carnival and a lot of fun stuff for the two boys to do, Maggie was taking them both since Sonia did not like Richie, but she wanted Eddie out of the house. Maggie was walking behind the two boys as a man approached her and placed a hand on her shoulder, that made her jump a bit. "Hi Mag's!" The man said, "oh my god, it's just you, and don't call me that." She said giggling taking the man's hand into her's connecting their fingers together. "Where were you Went?" She asks. "Sorry, i had to finish some job." Wentwroth said, he was Richie's dad. And boy did he like taking Richie to the carnival every day. "So Ed's, say what do you wanna do?" Richie says putting an arm around Eddie. "Don't call me that, and I dunno Rich, we're not there yet!" He shrugs. "I'm just sayin', as long as we don't go near little kids I'm okay." Richie continues. "Sure,Rich." Eddie replies. "Who's that?" Went asks Maggie as he points at Eddie. "That's Eddie? Don't you know him?" She asks looking at him confused. "Am I supposed to?" He chuckles. "Yeah! Him and Richard are like, inseparable, they're always together, gee sometimes I think they're a married couple!" She giggles. Went looks at her weirdly, "Eddie...Eddie...Eddie.....uhhh, is he the Kaspbrak's kid?" He asks. Maggie nods, "I see, I heard his mother is awful towards him. Makes him take pills he doesn't need, overreacts when he gets hurt a bit, and stuff like that." He sighs, "yeah I know, I heard Richard talking about it on the phone once." She frowns a bit. "Hey don't let that get you down, look he's happy over there!" He says. She looks at him and smiles leaving a kiss on his lips, "Booo!" Richie yells from up front. Eddie and Maggie giggle, as Went tackles Richie. "Okay!okay! You win!" He says giggling. "That's right little man, come on." He says helping Richie up. As they all continue walking Eddie nudges Richie's shirt a bit. "Hm?" He stops and looks at him. "Don't laugh at me but I just wanted to ask if we could erm....do the piggyback." Eddie says holding in his laughter. "Alright, hop on!" Richie giggles. Eddie jumped onto Richie's back. Richie grabbed Eddie's thighs and ran to catch up with his parents. "Goodness!" Maggie laughs. "My wife got tired!" Richie snickered. "Quit calling me your wife!" Eddie said giggling and the nickname. "Okay, Ed's" He said as Eddie sighed. The Parents chuckled at the comments the kids made. "We're here!" Richie yelled softly, "Yay!" Eddie said. "Alright kids, we will be over on the bench if you need us, and if you're thirsty we have water so just come to us if you need anything okay?" Maggie says. The boys both nod and Richie runs off to the field throwing Eddie on the grass (no not like a hard throw more like a tackle). "You turd!" Eddie says throwing some grass on Richie. Richie throws some leaves at Eddie and the boys start fighting. "Got you!" Eddie said as he held Richie down. "Boy you're some fighter." He sighs taking a puff out of his inhaler. "Thanks, it's a talent really." He snickers. "Sure" Eddie rolled his eyes letting Richie go and laying on the grass next to him. "They look so peaceful." Maggie says looking at the two boys laying on the grass and talking. "Hey, Mag's could we talk?" Went says immediately attracting Maggie's attention, making her turn her head to him. "Yes, of course what's wrong?" She says placing her hands on his. "I think Richie like's somebody. I heard him talking to some girl once, and he was calling her nicknames and everything." He shrugs. "Beverly?" Maggie asks, "I think so I don't know." He says quietly. "Oh no! Trust me they're just friends, Beverly likes somebody else and Richard doesn't like Beverly." She says. "How do you know all that?" He asks. "He told me." She shrugs. "He tells me all of the drama, but I have to promise to keep it in the house since the people in his school are...weird." She replies. "But schools out?" He looks at her with a soft gaze. "And so are the kids, meaning he could get beat up anywhere and anytime." She says rubbing her thumb over his, "oh, well I'll make sure him and his friends are safe, trust me." He promises. The two were interrupted by the boys coming over to the bench out of breath. Richie sat down and Eddie just flopped down placing his head on Richie's shoulder, actually not giving a fuck about what people say. "Woah, are you two alright?" Went asks. "No we just-ugh- we just ran so...fucking! Much." Richie says panting. "Language" Maggie adds. "Well, why?" Went asks again. "Henry! He was chasing us." Eddie said taking a puff out of his inhaler non stop. "We'll go talk to somebody you two stay here." The parents said as they got up.

It has been 7 minutes the boys finally came back to reality. Richie grabs a marker from his fathers case and draws a star on Eddie's arm."What's that?" Eddie asks. "Ed's that's a star." Richie whispered."Did you draw it?" Eddie asked quietly. Richie looked him in his eyes, making a puppy face. "Yes." Eddie giggled under his breath, "its cute!". Richie smiled at the comment.

The boys were quickly interrupted by their parents. "It's okay kids, we're going home that bastard won't leave you alone, so we'll leave him alone." Went said picking up all of the stuff. "Where's the marker?" Went asked. Richie handed him the marker and got up, "You wanna piggyback again, Ed's?" Richie asks. Eddie nods and jumps on his back again. The two boys start walking slowly as the parents finish up packing and start going back too. "Well our day was ruined, chee." Eddie said frowning placing his head onto Richie's shoulder. "It's okay, there's plenty days left. Plus the carnival is here the whole summer..." he starts, he pulls Eddie a bit up making it more comfortable for him to hold Eddie. "Don't sweat it alright? I'm sure we'll find a solution trust me Ed's." He finishes. "I do, I really do. More then anyone." He confesses. "It's me and you against the world Ed's." Richie smiled softly. Eddie closed his eyes and smiled, "me and you." Eddie said softly.
