You stood in front of the mirror, frowning as you stared at your black, knee-length halter dress and your strappy black stilettos. You felt that you would be overdressed; it was a casual dinner after all. You just... felt like looking good. You're meeting your childhood friends after so long.

You tucked your wavy hair behind your ears then smiled as you took a deep breath. You grabbed your purse, opening it up to check if you have everything placed inside, then exited your hotel room.

You stood at the curb, late evening, looking around for a taxi that would take you to your destination. You sulked after waiting for ten minutes with no success. You resorted to walking till you'd find a mode of transportation.

You paid the driver a reasonable fee, something that's cheaper than where you live, then stepped out of the vehicle. Your heels clacked on the ground as you glanced around for any signs of familiar faces.

The 'Jade of The Orient' had a glowing neon sign that illuminated the environment. There was virtually nobody here right now. You had a feeling of hesitancy as if the plan had been cancelled last minute and you weren't informed of it.

You looked at your reflection in your phone's screen, fixed your hair and checked if you had any lipstick in your teeth, then walked towards the Chinese restaurant's main entrance.

As you entered, the subtle sound of atmospheric music and the dim lighting put your nerves at ease. You looked around for your friends but-

"[y/n]?"

Someone called your name and you turned around in surprise. "Mike?" You asked and he smiled as he nodded his head. He walked over to you and embraced you tightly, catching you off-guard.

You chuckled then hugged him back cosily. Over his shoulder you noticed Eddie looking at the ornaments placed on the shelves on the wall.

"Eddie Kaspbrak..." You called out, after moving away from Mike's hug, "I never thought I'd see you again!"

He turned around and smiled widely. You both walked towards each other and hugged. "Aw it's so nice to meet you guys once more!" You said then gave Eddie a noogie, while you grinned mischievously.

He huffed and rolled his eyes, causing you to laugh loudly. You punched his arm playfully, "Well, you must be happy to-"

"[y/l/n]?!"

You looked up and squealed in happiness, "Marsh?!" You ran towards Beverly, and you both jumped towards each other for a hug. You cheered, "Oh my God! I probably missed you the most!"

"Ay you losers, come give uncle Richie a piece of that!" Richie Tozier said with his eyebrows raised and his hands in his pant pockets, and a smirk plastered on his lips.

As Berverly met Eddie and Mike, you went over to Richie and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Wow, if I knew that you'd be here, I'd come sooner!" Richie said and you both widened your eyes in excitement at the same time.
