"Stan The Man!" Richie exclaimed loudly as the curly haired beauty walked in the Derry library hand-in-hand with Bill.

"Hello to you too, Richie" Stan smirked a little. Richie pulled Stan for a hug, while Eddie rushed to Bill and embraced him in a tight hug.

"God, Eddie" Bill pulled away a little and looked down at the boy. "Have you gone shorter?"

"Shove off" Eddie rolled his eyes and moved onto hug Stan.

"Did the others arrive yet?" the peanut hue asked while he and eddie were done hugging.

"Bev and Ben are yet to come. Mike is right over there and Carol is...yet to be seen. We arrived only five minutes ago" Richie explained and adjusted his glasses.

"I thought you wore contact" Bill frowned.

"And I thought you stuttered" Richie snarled, but Eddie tapped his shoulder. "Calm down"

"Stan! Bill! You made it!" Mike's cheerful voice said from the distance.

All of the four turned around to face Mike, who had grown up to be a very handsome, attractive man. Bill immediately ran to Mike and hugged him. Richie followed them, smirking a little bit, leaving Eddie and Stan standing awkwardly by the entrance of the Derry library.

"So..." Stan sighed. "How are you?"

"Good" Eddie nodded. "I told Richie. About us...What happened"

"Wow...how'd he react?" Stan lifted his brows.

"What'd you think" Eddie lifted a brow and nodded towards Richie who was grinning like the way he did when he was 15.

"Well that is a tough on...I bet you two broke up" Stan said, making Eddie laugh.

"No, but seriously we're okay" Eddie assured. "And you and Bill?"

"Uhm..." Stan blushed a little, but was cut off by Richie calling the two to them.

"Hey dipshits! Come here"

"Same old Richie" Stan sighed and wrapped an arm around Bill's waist as they arrived to Mike, Richie and Bill. "Where's Carol?"

"Getting the drinks" Mike said and hugged Stan since they hadn't hugged yet.

"It's weird to be back" Eddie looked around the library where Mike now worked. "It's nice. But weird"

"Isn't it?" Stan agreed. "I was so used to snowless winters and warm days every single day"

"Yeah we get it, you two live in LA" Richie rolled his eyes.

Stan gave him a syrupy smile and tightened the grip he had on Bill.

"We're here Maine!" a female voice chirped from the door. Everyone turned to face Ben and Beverly, who also had changed a lot.

Ben wasn't the chubby boy anymore what he was when he was 15 and Beverly wasn't the girl who wore teared up clothes. Ben had a slim, yet just enough muscular body, but not too much to make him look weird and buffed. And Beverly's hair had grown a bit longer. About over her shoulders. They were slightly curly, but hadn't lost the fiery red color to it.
