The Losers all cheered and clinked their glasses together. They all sat at a round table and Beth sat In between Beverly and Bill.
"so, Waite, Eddie you got married?" Richie teased.
"yeah, why's that so fucking funny, dickwad?" Eddie snapped.
"what? To like, a woman?" Richie asked.
"fuck you bro"
Richie started to laugh."fuck you!"
"what about you, Trashmouth? You married?" bill asked.
"there's no way Richie's married" Beth teased.
"no, I got married" Richie said.
"Ritchie, I don't believe that" Beverly said.
"when?" Eddie asked.
"what, you didn't know I got married?" Richie said his voice started to sound serious.
"no" Eddie said setting his drink down.
"yeah, no. Me and your mom are very, very happy right now" Richie said and Bill laughed and chocked on his drink making go all over his face. Beth looked at him and laughed.
"yeah very, very happy.. Tell Eddie's mom I'm sorry I missed your guy's wedding" Beth said to Ritchie laughing.
"oh I'll tell her" Richie laughed.
"he totally fell for it" bill laughed.
"fuck you" Eddie said.
"she's very sweet. Sometimes she'll put her arm around me and she'll whisper to me, she'll go" Richie said and started imitating Jabba the Hutt.
"we all get it. My mom was a great, big, fat person" Eddie said and everyone started laughing more. "hilarious. Hysterical" Eddie said sarcastically.

   "wait, let's talk about the elephant not in the room.... Ben. What the fuck dude?" Richie said pointing at Ben.
"okay, okay obviously I lost a few pounds" Ben said.
"lost a few pounds?"
"yeah no shit, you lost a few pounds" Eddie said.
"like. Your hot" Richie teased. "no, you're like every Brazilian soccer player wrapped up into one person"
"level him alone. You're embarrassing him" Beth jumped in.
"okay, all right. Please, come on. Is Stanley coming or what? " Ben asked.
It went quite for awhile.
"I hope so" Beth whispered.
"Stan Uris. Stan Urine" Richie started. No, no, he's a fucking pussy. He's not going to show up"
"Richie shut up. This is Stan we are talking about" Beth said.
"why would Stanley save you, anyway? Was I not the one who basically performed surgery on you and your sister, after he cut you two up?" Eddie asked and shaking Ben's shoulder. "holy shit that's right"
"please tell me you ended up becoming a doctor, Eds" Beverly said.
"no, I ended up becoming a risk analyst" Eddie said.
"oh, that sounds really interesting. What does that entail?" Richie asked.
"yeah, so I work for a big insurance firm and- Eddie stopped when he saw Richie had his head back and was fake snoring. Everyone looked at Richie and laughed.
" fuck you, dude. Fuck you" Eddie said.
"was this job invented before fun?" Richie teased.
"oh, that's so not funny" Eddie snapped.
"It is funny" Bill said laughing and had his forehead on Beth's shoulder as  His laughter got worse.
"what the fuck are you laughing at!?" Eddie said pointing at bill.
"I propose a toast to the losers" Beverly smiled.
   Bill looked at Beth and smiled.
"so what have you been doing these 27 years?" he asked
"I've been working with Ben. We own a architect company" Beth said.
"that's cool"
Bill and Beth engaged in their own conversation in till Richie interrupted.
"hay Bee we never asked if your married"
"nope not married. No boyfriend. " Beth said
"what dose big brother keep scaring them off? Richie teased.
" no.. I just haven't found the right guy I guess"
Beth looked at bill and saw he looked relieved and happy.
   The fortune cookies came and they all grabbed one. Beth grabbed one and looked a bill. "by the way Denbrough" he looked up and smiled.
"yeah?"
"me and Ben saw your movie it was really good. It was scary and pretty great" Beth said. Bill looked down, smiled, and kinda blushed.
"and the ending sucked?" he asked.
Beth tilted her head and smiled.
"yeah I kinda did.. I'm sorry" she said smiling.
"that's all right" he said.
He stared at Beth with a smirk.
"what?" she asked.
"nothing. This is all just weird. Just all this, all these memories. People that I don't even remember forgetting"
"It's weird right? Now that we're all here everything comes back faster and faster, I mean all of it" Ben said.
"yeah, you know, when Mike called me, I threw up. Isn't that weird? Like, I got nervous. I got, like, sick and I threw up. " Richie explained "I feel fine now. I feel relieved to be hear with you guys"
"when Mike called me, I crashed my car" Eddie said.
"are you serious?" Beth asked concerned.
"shit, man, I hear you. I mean my heart was literally pounding right out of my chest" Ben said.
"I couldn't breathe. I like it felt like my lungs just gave up on me. But... I never forgot what happened here" Beth said.
"I thought it was only me" Beverly said.
"it was like pure.. F-f-" bill started to stutter his words out.
"fear" Mike said. "it's fear. What you felt"
"why did we all feel like that, Mike?" bill asked.
Mike didn't answer he just looked down.
"you remember something we don't, don't you Mike?" bill asked again.
"something happens to you when to you when you leave this town. Farther away the hazier it gets. But me, I never left. So yeah I remember. All of it" Mike explains.
"pennywise" Beth and Beverly both mumble.
"oh, the fucking clown" Eddie sights.
"mike, you said you wanted help with something. What was that?" bill asked.
"there's an echo In Darry that bounces back every 27 years" Mike said.
"what are you talking about?" Eddie asks.
"hold on. Listen. We thought we stopped it back then. We thought it was done, but" Mike pulled out a journal. "a week ago a man, Adrian Mellon, slaughter. A girl, Lisa Albert, the other night went missing" Mike said.
"Mike..." Richie interrupted.
"there's been others and there will be more" Mike snapped.
"I don't want to hear about this shit" Ritchie sights.
"just let him explain" Ben says calmly .
"that echo we might have changed it. Just like it changed us. But we didn't stop it. Because it just bounced back. We made an oath. That's way I brought you all back. That's why you are here. It finish it for good." Mike explained.
"well, that shit got dark fast. Thanks, Mike" Ritchie said.
   
"my fortune cookie just says couldn't " Eddie said.
"they don't know how to do fortune cookies here. Mine just says guess" Richie added.
  Bill looked down at his it just said "cut" he looked over at Beth. "what dose your say?" he asked.
"mine says huh" Beth answered.
"can I see that?" bill asked and Beth hand him her slip of paper.
"let me see the rest of them" bill said as he sat Beth's fortune by his. Then Took Mike's and Richie's. Beth studied them with Bill and moved them around.
"wait. What?" Eddie asked and came over to Beth and Bill.
"this is what I'm talking about" Mike whispers.
"guess. Cut. Could. It. Huh." Richie read.
"it's a message" Mike said.
"why would it be guess it could not cut it huh?" Eddie asked.
"cut what?" Ben asked.
"guess it could not cut it huh" Ritchie said again.
"I could not guess" Eddie said.
"it couldn't guess" Beth said.
"could it.. No. Could it not cut" Richie yelled.
"when it's saying "it" is is talking about it? Eddie asked.
"yeah. All right" Beth snapped.
"is that what it means?" Eddie asked.
"that's what I'm talking about" Mike said pointing at the slips of paper.
"you fuck with the fortune cookies Mike?" Richie snapped.
"no!"
"this is not me. This is it what it dose" Mike said calmly.
"I need my fucking inhaler!" Eddie snapped.
Beth looked over at Beverly and she saw Beverly was crying.
"bev? What's wrong?"
She put down her peace of paper and Beth reads it. She sets it down ands covers her mouth and tear started pouring out of her eyes. Bill takes the fortune and puts with the others

"Stan no.. Stanley" Beth cries.
"why dose it say Stanley? Someone else fucking answer me!" Eddie shouted.
  The table shakes and makes a bang noise. The others back away and the cookies start to shake.
