Mike 2

  Derry, Maine. July 16th, '88
"So tell us about your van! We can go anywhere we want!" Ben cheered as the losers walked home, their bikes beside them as they preferred to walk their bikes while talking.

"Well, I know that I wanna have a road trip with all of you, but I don't know where we would go." Bill said, thinking about places to drive to.

"I know a place... I've always wanted to go there my whole life and it would mean the world to me if I could meet him!" Richie accidentally yelled out, he couldn't stop himself he wanted to go so bad. His friends stood, looking at the boy with confusion.

"Him?" Eddie asked, looking a bit hurt for whatever reason.

"Uh- I have to tell you all something, and I'm not kidding..." so Richie explained how his mom left his dad and took his older sister and his twin brother with her to find a new spouse. The losers didn't know wether to feel bad for him or to not believe a word that he said.

Hawkins, Indiana. July 16th, '88
"I'm so bored with my life right now. Nothing is fun all we do is sit here and do school work or-"

"Complain about Jane?" Will sighed, placing his pencil down on the paper and shutting his textbook.

"I'm sorry will, thanks for being here for me and listening to me complain." Mike said sheepishly.
Will swatted his hand in the air, indicating that it was no big deal.

"MIKE, WILL!" Dustin yelled, running down the steps. They looked at him as he stumbled down the stairs hurriedly.

"I found a girl! A pretty, cool, nice girl who might like me!" Dustin smiled widely, his curls bounced with him. Dustin had lost some weight, and regained it in muscle. He wasn't visibly muscular, but strong? Oh, yes. He was strong. He had grown a foot and his teeth were always perfectly white, he had much appreciation for his pearly whites. He learned in the eighth grade that he liked to tame his curly hair, but not too extremely like Steve. He liked to cut it a bit.
(But with his lil hat he loves)

"Does miss perfect have a name?" Will asked.

"Sandy!" Dustin yelled in bliss. Sandy had moved from a town in Maine. Derry, she had said it was called. Her dad bought and now owned the arcade and she couldn't find it in herself to leave without one more game, but she said that after every game.

Dustin had walked up to her after spotting her while playing dance dance revolution with Steve. He watched her in awe as she rode the fake car, passing all the others and drifting past corners with only an inch away from driving off of the track.

Her brown curly hair was up in a bun the curls were natural and tight, bouncing. She had icy blue eyes and freckles dotted across her tan skin. She instantly froze upon seeing his reflection in the glass and ended up letting go on the wheel a few meters away from the finish line, but her car still sped on and won.

"Aw, lil Dustin is in looooove!" Mike joked, instantly cursing himself as he realized what would happen next.

"Shove it up your ass, wheeler! Remember this? 'El is so cool! El is the best! El is pretty! Pretty... cool!' Yeah, not fucking smooth so don't say a WORD about me being 'in love' with Sandy." Dustin laughed. Mike blushed in embarrassment.

Derry, Maine. July 16th, '88

"Richie you're even more fucked up then I'd imagined!" Ben laughed jokingly. Richie chuckled and scratched the back of his neck, causing his glasses to slide down a bit. Eddie walked over and lifted the taller boy's head and pushed his glasses up his freckled face. Richie smiled at his friend who he understood was trying to comfort him.

"We can go, I'm good with th-at." Bill blushed, he hadn't stuttered in a while. Nobody seemed to notice though.

"What's you say your brothers name was?" Stan asked.

" I didn't, but it's mike." He informed them, moving his hands.

"Wow, his name is beautiful. It's amazing, spectacular, truly a work of art that name is." Mike laughed. They all bursted into a fit of laughter.

"You know what? I wanna meet Mike 2, too!" Ben smiled at all of his friends.

"Really? You want to meet a second Richie? You really want that in your life?" Eddie asked acting like he wanted nothing more then to not go. Deep down he did want to go though.
Richie + Richies twin= absolute hell. So why is there a little part of me that wants to meet mike so badly? Why is that little part in everybody here? I can see it in their eyes. Stan acts like that would be torturous but I can see the little light in his eye. He hopes we will go. Bill looks about ready to hop in the van. He isn't even trying to hide his excitement. Beverly seems in the middle. A little bit of her says no but another, slightly bigger bit of her insists that we should go. Ben wants to go. He wants to watch this go down, he intends to laugh a lot this trip. Mike is also on the fence. He convinces himself that it would be bad but I can tell that he wishes to go. Richie shows no sign of not wanting to go. His eyes are pleading. He hasn't ever met these people before but they mean so much to him.

Eddie snapped out of his thoughts as all of his friends agree to go on the road trip. Eddie silently agrees, still reading the expressions on his friends' face like they were open books.
