EPISODE ONE, chapter fourteen
" this way, your hand in mine
and the stars singing our names.
and i waited impatient for
something to come around. "

"OH JESUS! I'M IN UNCHARTERED TERRITORY HERE, GUYS." said Dustin Henderson, the party all gathered around the Dragon's Lair game. They had planned to meet up at the arcade.A year had passed from Will's disappearance. He got called Zombie Boy, because apparently that's what people called funny. But he was healthy, happy and healthy, and out of the hospital quick. Y/N recalled shedding a couple of tears the day Will got released.
The group started to shout repeatedly at the game. Dustin told everyone to shut up, clicking the buttons continuously, before the main character got blazed to death. A skeleton appeared on the screen, crossing it arms, before disappearing back into the ground.
"No! No, no!" Dustin cried. "I hate this overpriced bullshit!" Dustin hit the machine. "Son of a bitch! Piece of shit!"
"You're just not nimble enough. But you'll get there one day." Lucas says in pride. He leaned against the machine, grinning at Dustin. "But until then, Princess Daphne is still mine."
"Whatever, I'm still tops on Centipede and Dig Dug." Dustin sighed, making a point.
Before a new voice was heard. Well, not particularly new to the party. It was quite an annoying voice, too.
"You sure about that?" Keith says muffled, chewing cheeto puffs. Y/N grimaced at the sight of him. Keith was an annoying disgusting man. Was this what the party seemed like to the middle school?
"Sure about what?" Dustin questions as he looks up at Keith, who just pops another cheeto puff into his mouth. He chews half of it slowly, making an irritating loud noise. He had an asshole grin on his face.
Dustin glanced at the Centipede and Dig Dug machines. "You're kidding me." Dustin ran over, checking the machines in a hurry. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" Dustin repeats.
There took Dustin's beautiful first place. A user called MadMax was ahead of Dustin's score. A whole one-hundred thousand.
"Seven hundred fifty one thousand points!?" Will says in disbelief, reading off of the screen.
"That's impossible." Mike said in awe, looking at the screen.
"Who is Mad Max?" Dustin said, turning around. The group did, too. Awaiting greasy Keith's answer.
"Better than you." Keith replied.
Dustin flipped off Keith with both hands. "Is it you?" Will questioned, earning a soft scoff from Keith in return.
"You know I despise Dig Dug." Keith said, putting another cheeto puff into his mouth.
"Stop eating those stupid puff's!" Y/N groaned. "Who is Mad Max?"
