"we're going to miss you, bill." ben sighs as he and the losers sit in a circle in the grass.

"we should throw a going away party!" beverly speaks up, desperate to lighten up the mood.
bill, with eyes full of adoration, immediately agrees to her suggestion.
"y-yeah that could be cuh-c-cool." a smile smile adorns his face, "we should celebrate i-in-instead of sitting around and being s-s-s—"
"he's right, we should enjoy the last few days we have with him." mike shrugs.

"i'm excited, i guess."
