The group of kids run around the sewers, trying to find Bill who had wondered off. "I've never been more happy to wear shorts before," Kelsey jokes as they trudge through the nasty water.

"Me neither," Richie smirks from behind the girl.

A grunt along with a splash of water, Eddie splashing around in the water infront of the pair. "Hey get out of there Eds, that's grey-water," Richie jokes, as he pulls the girl closer to the boy splashing around in the water.

"Instead of torturing him, help him jackass," the girl groans, extending a hand to the boy.

"Where's my flashlight!" Eddie screams, continuing to splash. Bending down Kelsey looks around, trying to use the light to tell where the object is.

"Ahh!" Kelsey and Eddie scream as severed heads start to emerge from the water.

"V-Vic," The girl stares at the familiar pale face, jumping backwards falling in to Stanley's legs. Eddie grasps his hands around the flashlight, quickly pulling it out, and starting to run. Stanley pulls the shocked girl by her arms, running with the rest of the group.

Shaking herself out of the shock, she points down a way. "Guys," her voice quivering, as she points to the gate. The group comes around her, before they all press forward. "Oh no," she mumbles as they go closer to the open space. A large sturcture like pile, in the middle, people floating around it.

"The missing kids," richie gasps, looking up.

"They're all floating," Eddie finishes the description.

"Bervie!" Kelsey squeaks, running to the girl in the air. "Sh-she's lower, why ?" She asks, looking to the girl floating only a couple feet above her.

"Help me up, we have to get her down!" Ben cries, Mike doing what he asks as he lifts him in to the air. Richie coming closer to his girlfriend to help, the boy get down the red headed girl.

"Beverly," Ben cries once the two are both safely on the ground. Gently the boy shakes her, as he holds on to her shoulder. "Why isn't she waking up!" He cries to the rest of the group.

"H-her eyes, " The girl quietly speaks, slowly hiding behind Richie. Richie wraps a protective arm around her, pulling the girl close to his body.

Ben looks to Beverly in pain, then all at once he wraps his hands around her face. Smashing their lips together, the other losers eyes widening at the bold move. "This isn't a Disney movie," Kelsey mumbles, as Ben pulls away from Bev, looking to the girl with the last bit of hope he had.

Within a couple seconds, Beverly takes a deep breath, looking to Ben. "Maybe it is," Kelsey looks to the pair with wide eyes.

"January Embers?" Beverly asks.

"My heart burns there too," Ben says softly, smiling at the girl once lost girl.

"Jesus fuck," Richie pulls the group in to a long awaited hug. After a few moments, they pull away from eachother.

"You're not leaving our sight," Kelsey jokes, wrapping her arms around Beverly.

"Believe me I never want to be," Beverly jokes back, pulling away as the group walks around the weird structure.

"S-she, you call boats s-she G-Georgie," Bill explains looking to his brother.

Kelsey pushes herself further in to Richie's back. Seeing Georgie again is like a knock to the face. Hiding in to his back, barely peaking over his shoulder to see the interaction. Richie reaches behind him, interlacing their fingers as he pulls her closer to her.
