the four boys stood at an ice cream stand awaiting their food. 

"i got it guys." bill offered to pay while pulling out his wallet. 

"are you sure you don't want anything stan?" asked richie. stanley nodded with a smile fearing ever being a burden on his friends. 

"okay let's go find a place to sit." the four boys strolled through the park until they found a bench not too far from where they bought their ice cream.

bill finished his ice cream quicker than ever while richie and eddie were too busy goofing around. "stan and i are going to walk around." he announced. eddie and richie just barely noticed that he had even said anything, despite that they still nodded their heads and let the others wander off. 

"i'm glad this is all working out." eddie stated.

"me too." said richie laying his head upon eddie's shoulder.

after a while of sitting their and enjoying their ice creams richie and eddie decided to begin the search for the others.

they found them at the games. bill was shooting some clown with a watergun watching the bright red balloon fill up.

"god, i hate clowns." richie mumbled. 

"come on it's just a game." eddie dragged richie to the game and observed bills marksmanship. he was quite good for someone with barely any experience. 

as the balloon popped a loud bell rang for everyone around to hear. "first prize!" yelled the man behind the counter. "what would you like?" he leaned forward so he could hear bill better.

"can i get the zebra?" he asked ecstatically. once the man handed him the large stuffed animal it was shortly passed on to stanley. "here you go." bill said softly as he handed to toy to stan.

"you won it. really, keep it." stan insisted but bill did not give up on giving the boy the toy.

"for you. i won it for you. now let's go we don't want to waste our time bickering." 

after going on many other rides and playing an abundance of games the four boys headed back to richie's car. 

"where are we headed?" they all asked.

"i assumed we'd all just go home. or to bill's house." suggested richie.

"i think bill's house is a good idea." stanley agreed and they all began driving in that direction. 

once they pulled up in the driveway richie and bill both swiftly rushed out of the car and to the front porch step while stan and eddie stayed behind. it was a short-lived silence before eddie spoke out.

"he likes you." was all he said before leving stanley behind in the vehicle.

eddie met richie at the front door step. "fuck i hope nothing ever happens to us." richie said. 

"listen chee, you'll always have me."

im so sorry but this is the end *whip* i ran out of ideas and frankly it wasnt going anywhere. thanks for sticking around with my inconsistent self.
