Once the teens got to the Quarry, they all immediately stripped off their clothing and ran to the edge of the big rock that overlooked the water.
"Alright. Who's going first?" Stan said, looking nervously around at the group.
"Step right up, step right up, lady and gentlemen, for the most spectacular daredevil trick of them all; the Deep Dive into Derry Quarry! Who among you is the bravest of them all?" Richie announced, narrowing his eyes around the group.
"Is it you?!" Richie asked, sticking his pointer finger out to Beverly.
"Oh hell no. I went first last time, asshole." Beverly said, backing away from the group as she crossed her arms.
"Ah, I see I see. The lady makes a very good point. One of YOU, gentlemen will have to go first." Richie said, scanning the group.
Out of nowhere, a little voice came from behind Richie, making the back of his hair stand straight up.
"I-I'll do it. I'll go first."
Richie swiveled on his heel, turning to look at a small, frightened Eddie. He looked at the groups faces, seeing the same concern that Richie had for him. Richie tugged him away from the group, whispering in a low tone so no one could hear except for Eddie.
"Eds, you don't have to go first. It's scary when it's your first time. Wait until one of these losers goes first, then we can jump together, okay?" Richie said as Eddie crossed his arms.
"Chee, I can do it by myself. I'm not a fucking baby, alright? Let me do this, myself." Eddie said, adding an extra emphasis on the last word. Richie understood what he meant. After living with his mother all those years, he needed to be free. Free from the constant torment and abuse.
"Okay, my spaghetti boy," Richie said, tousling his hair softly, "go get 'em."
Eddie walked up to the edge of the giant rock, peering out over the edge. He turned to look at the group one last time, before jumping in and changing his life forever.

The cold water hit Eddie like a semi truck. He took a breath in as he was going under, swallowing most of the Quarry water, making him choke as he sunk deeper and deeper. He started kicking and scratching at the water, trying to get himself to clean fresh air when he felt a pair of arms around him.
The two exploded into the air as Eddie finally took his first free deep breath. He craned his neck towards the pair of arms to see who they were attached to.
"Hey Eddie Spaghetti! You did so well honey! I'm so so proud of you!" Richie said, kissing his forehead softly.
That's when Eddie noticed the group of teenagers cheering for him at the top of the Quarry. They were screaming and shouting as the two swam to shore.
Then the Bowers Gang came.
