You'll Float With Us

Straight to Bowers

No POV
All the kids sat at the hill on top of the barrens. "So, um, that was weird," Will said. "And I thought we had it strange," Dustin said, making all the kids from Hawkins laugh. "What do you guys mean," Mike H asked. "WELL! We deal with a thing called a Demogorgon. It's from another dimension called the upside-down. It's so boring" Mike W answered. "How funny would it be if they teamed up," Max said joking. Everyone laughed, until she said, "no I'm series". She locked eyes with the losers club then did a creepy smile. "So I'm, what's it like floating," Ben asked Beverly. "It's weird. You see what your life would be like when you're gone. Because the clown was going to kill you. Your awake, living in a world where you were dead. You were all happy. Nothing's changed. You still rode bikes. Still played dnd" She continued before will cut them off. "You play dnd, so do we". "You still went to the arcade. Had sleepovers. Had pancakes every Sunday. And he shows you this, to show you how your death would mean nothing. Then I saw us as older. Richie grew into his looks. Stan just gets taller. Eddie gets taller, still uses his fake medicine, Mike stays here, everyone else leaves, Ben becomes skinny, and Bills stutters gone" Bev said, putting her head down. Everyone knew what she was implying. That she wouldn't be missed when the clown killed her. "W-well y-you know t-that's not t-true," Bill replied. "What, that Eddie gets taller" Richie jokes, regretting it after seeing how it made Eddie and Bill mad. "No, that you wouldn't be missed. We would miss you. And even if we did these things, we would think about you" Eddie backed her up. She felt better but still unsure. "So... do you think you killed the clown," El asked, they shook their heads. "We wish, but it didn't sound dead. And it comes back every 20 something years" Ben said before getting cut off by Max. "27 years". "Why would you know that?" Ben asked her. "I do my research. And strange things happens every 27 years here. What did you think" Max questioned him. "I just well ummmm" Ben started before shutting his mouth. She smiled at him, revealing a sharp tooth. So he shut his mouth real quick. Then he realized: It was a shapeshifter. So if they hadn't killed it, who jumped down the sewer. And that would mean It was in the form of the redhead girl. But then, who did they push down the well. He gulped at the thought. "Ben?" Mike W asked. "I'm not sure what I was implying" Ben confessed. He knew what he was saying, and he was sure. But if they realized, they had to kill it again, then find the girl who they had killed/ or pushed. So he shrugged it off, but he knew that would bite him later. "So I'm guessing you guys came here to avoid everything back where you're from," Bev asked. They all nodded. "S-sound t-terrible," Bill said. So all the losers did the blood oth, then. The cut their hands with glass, which stung and then said when it comes back, we gotta destroy it. All the Hawkins kids watched as blood streamed from the kid's left palms. "Soo... now, what," El asked. "Hm, want to go see a movie?" Richie asked. "Teen Wolf is out" Ben added. Everyone nodded. "Richie, you should bring Aiden" Eddie added. "Ya!" Bev added. "Why! So her and Bev can have a make-out section " Richie said back. "But she is still your sister," Ben said back. "Richie, you have a sister," Max asked, in which he nodded. "Wouldn't have thought that" El replied. "Wait 1. She is Bi? 2. I'm not Bi" Bev shot back. Richie rolled his eyes and said, "fine! But the second you start sucking faces..." Richie started before Eddie kicked him. "HEY SPAGHETTI!" Richie yelped, jumping. "Now go invite her," Eddie said pushing him. "W-wait h-her," Bill said, "w-while he g-gets A-Aiden". After 5 minutes, Richie and Eddie show up with a girl around 5'2, dirty blonde hair, brown eyes and blue and purple glasses. "Hey guys" She waved, smiling. She had rosy pink cheeks, and hair down with a clip. Will thought she was beautiful. "So are we gonna go see a movie or what?" She asked, before giggling. Then We all rushed off to the theater to catch the movie. Once they got there, they sat on the balcony. They notice that Henry Bowers was down there. But he was dead. Guess not. They tried to avoid him, but after everyone but ben, Bev, Aiden, and Richie went to get snacks, Ben spilled his drink, which handed on Bowers. Oh shit. They peeked their heads over, at the same time Henry looked up. So they ran. They ran out of the theater and ran into an alley, where they were cornered by Bowers and his gang. "You thought you could kill me. Just cause you friends threw me down a sewer" Henry asked, laughing. "Bev, grab Aiden and Run" Richie yelled, as Bev grabbed his sister and ran. "You two, stay here, I'm going to get the girls," Henry said, as he followed them. Henrys 2 goons cornered Richie and Ben, cracking their knuckles until they beat the shit out of them. Richie and Ben were knocked unconscious, beat and bruised until they bleed. Then the party and losers ran out of the theatre to find them laying on the ground. Eddie let out a yelp and shook Richie until he started to wake up, Stan did the same to Ben. "R-Richie! W-What h-happened" Bill asked him. "Bowers and his goons beat us up but we're fine," Richie said shrugging it off.

----Meanwhile------

The girls had accidentally run into a dead-end, where Henry had cornered them. He reached out and grabbed Aiden by her ponytail and threw her to the floor. "Well well well, If it isn't Derry's Slut and faggots sister" Henry laughed. "Leave us alone," Beverly said, backing into the bricks. Then his 2 goons met up with him and laughed. Henry picked Aiden up by her hair and made her look at him. "You know, maybe I wouldn't beat your ass if you didn't reject me. But now I see why" He laughed, "Because you're just like your 4- eyed faggot brother. You're a lesbian. A FUCKING LESBIAN". He spat in her face then tossed her to the ground, causing her to hit her head. Bev grabbed her and sat her against the wall. "You know, I bet she'd do you, you just gotta ask. I bet she is just whore like you" Henry said, punching Bev and knocking her against the wall, unconscious. Then he took out his knife, reached for Aidens side, and slit it open. She whimpered, as then he slashed her cheek, then slashing Bev's arm, leaving marks like bears. Henry turned around to see his friends floating 5 feet in the air. Then a rock came and hit his forehead, making him bleed. "STEP AWAY FROM MY SISTER" Richie yelled, throwing the final rock, hitting his knee. Then El dropped his to friends, and all of the 3 boys ran off. El fell into Mike W's arms, feeling drained. Bill ran to Bev and started shaking her until she woke up. She sat up quickly and gasped for air. "Bill?" She asked. She reached for her arm, realizing it had a deep cut. She winced in pain, looking at her hand, coated in blood. Then Richie ran through his friends, to his sister. "Aiden, Aiden please, AIDEN FUCKING WAKE UP! Dad gonna kill me if you don't get up" He had tears forming. "Aiden...?" Richie continued, as he pulled her warm body into a hug. "please" he whispered. And using the power of friendship, love, and whatever else Disney puts into their ending scene, by some miracle, she starts to regain consciousness. "R-Richie?" she asked, her eyes fluttering open. "Thank fuck," Richie said. "What happened?" She asked her brother. "That's what I want to know," Richie said looking at Bev, who then explained every little detail, starting from when Richie said to run. Everyone just let her talk as best as she can, although she couldn't remember anything. They sat in the alley as Will, Bill, Stan, Eddie, and El ran into the pharmacy to get stuff. "They won't have enough money, but they guys a perv so..." Bev said, her eyes drifting to Max. "Ok so what should I do"

---In the store----

Max entered as the guys complained about money or lack. Richie had run in and told the plan to them while Bev taught Max what to do. Max walked up to the counter with a thing of gum, watermelon. The elderly man, about 59-64 instantly started looking her up and down. "Hey little girl, are you new. I'm Mr. Keen" He said shaking Max's hand. "I'm Max, and with those glasses, you look just like Clark Kent" Max replied, causing him to laugh. "Well I don't know about that" He replied before Max asked to try his glasses on. He looked around then agreed. Once she put them on, he said: "Wow, you look just like Lois Lane". Max laughed awkwardly before giving back the glasses and knocking over the gum table. She apologized, giving the losers just enough time to grab and Run. She paid and ran off. "He is such a perv" She declared, waking back to everyone else. "Ya, know let's get you guys fixed up" Eddie answered, wrapping the bandage around Bevs arm.
