"Hurry up!" Beverly yelled at her best friend. The two girls were already late to meet the losers club and they needed to get there as quickly as possible.

"I'm coming!" Lacey treaded down the stairs of her house and out the door with Beverly trailing behind. They each hopped on their bikes and quickly started making their was to the Quarry.

"Hold up!" Lacey slammed her brakes and turned back to her best friend who had a distinct feature about her that was completely different. "Your hair!"

Beverly smiled and tucked back a few strands that could fit behind her ear. "Is it bad?"

"Hell no! It's amazing!" Lacey grinned at her best friend who smiled in return.

The girls started pedaling again and rode to the Quarry where the boys would be waiting for them.

Lacey saw them standing at the edge of the cliff spitting over the edge. The girls quietly set down their bikes and took off their shoes. Of course they were still waiting for the boys to notice them.

"Who's going first?"

"We'll go." Beverly said unbuttoning her dress. Lacey saw this and rolled her eyes but followed her actions. The girl's dresses fell to the ground before they clasped their hands together and broke into a run. The moment they touched the edge of the cliff, they jumped.

"What the fuck?!" Richie Tozier screamed at the top of his lungs.

The girls screamed excitedly the entire fall down. They plummeted into the water and swam back up laughing.

They both looked up at the cliff and and saw that the boys weren't coming down.

"Come on!" Beverly yelled to the group of boys.

"First one down gets a surprise!" Lacey called out. Beverly looked at her best friend who winked at her in response.

This of course made Richie jump down first. He swam back up to the surface and grinned at the beautiful girl in front of him.

"What's my surprise?"

"This." Lacey splashed water in his face and he turned away from the girl.

"Really?!" One by one the boys jumped off the cliff and into the water.

After 10 minutes of them splashing each other and swimming, Beverly suggested they do a chicken fight.

"I'll sit this one out thank you very much." Lacey laughed and swam over to sit next to Stanley.

He smiled at her and she returned it.

"P-p-partners?" Bill asked Beverly. She nodded and he swam underneath her so she could sit on his shoulders.

Richie looked over at Ben who agreed to be partners. Richie got on top of Ben's shoulders and Eddie yelled.

"Go!" The four charges at each other and started pushing at the other competitors.

"Oh come on Bev!" Lacey yelled as her best friend was thrown into the water. Lacey shook her head and started laughing.
