It had been a week later since Stanley's bar mitzvah. Lydia was on her way to go to the arcade with Richie, since Stanley was in fact grounded. She made it to the arcade seeing Richie playing street fighter.

"Hey Rich!" Lydia called as Richie looked over to her.

"Hey Liddy! I just go a new high score." Richie said with amusement in his voice. Lydia chuckled.

"Do you wanna have a go?" Richie asked.

"Yeah." Lydia said.

She tried to get a better high score than last time. She got a score of 300. Richie laughed at her.

"Well it's safe to say I suck at street fighter." Lydia chuckled and so did Richie.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After about an hour of playing street fighter Lydia noticed Bill Denbrough walk in the arcade towards them. Lydia looked over at Richie then back at Bill.

"Lydia! Richie!" Bill called out. Richie looked over at Bill and scoffed. Lydia was confused why Bill was even here.

"What do you want? See that guy I'm punching, I'm pretending it's you." Richie said.

"IT got Beverly." Bill said. Lydia's face when from confusion to worry.

"Oh shit...." Lydia mumbled.

"What are you talking about?" Richie said as he still played the game.

"IT, Richie." Lydia said.

"IT got Beverly..." Bill spoke as Richie stopped playing street fighter and turned to look at Bill.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'll call Eddie, You call Stanley." Bill said to Lydia. Lydia nodded and went over to the phone inside of the arcade, Richie following behind her.

She picked the telephone up off the stand and dialled Stanley's number. Thankfully Stanley answered.

"Hello?" Stanley said.

"Hey Stan, it's Lydia, Bill came over to us and he told us that IT got Beverly...." Lydia said. Stanley stayed quiet for a minute.

"We're meeting up at the house on Neibolt street. Lydia told him.

"Okay..." Stanley said before hanging up. Richie looked at Lydia.

"Well is he coming or what?" Richie asked.

"I think so, all I got was an 'Okay.'" Lydia told Richie.

Richie nodded.

"We better get going then." Richie says walking out of the arcade with Lydia following behind.

The two made it to the house, seeing the others Lydia smiles seeing Stanley. He gives her a weak smile, he was pretty nervous and you could tell by the expression on his face, he was scared shitless.

"Guys, spikes." Bill said.

Eddie removes his fanny pack and tosses it aside; Bill picks up two metal poles with spikes on the end and puts them together; Richie picks up a beer bottle, smashes it against the stairs, and casually throws it aside; The losers then walked to the house. Everyone except Stan walked in. Lydia turned around seeing Stan outside the doorway.

"Stan?" Ben said

Bill, Richie, Ben, Eddie, and Mike turn around to face Stan, who is just standing at the door

"Stan, we all have to go. Beverly was right. If we split up like last time, that clown will kill us one by one. But if we stick together, all of us, we'll win. I promise." Bill said.
