"Come on Kels, we have to meet the Losers!" Richie groans, as he waits by the door of his girlfriend's house.

"I know I know, coming!" She yells back, slipping on her brown ankle boots. "You got my bag right?" She asks, coming up beside the black haired boy.

"Yup, now can we go hotstuf?" He groans again, with a giggle the girl nods, as the two run out the door, and on to Richie's bike.

The two bike down to the barrens, where they had arranged to meet with the rest of their friends. From the multiple times having had to ride on the back of the boy's bike, Kelsey had gotten quite fond of it.

Enjoying the scenery that passed by them as they rode to their destination. The wind would would gently blow through her now blue hair. Richie stops at the entrance of the barrens, the two get off, leaving his bike, along with the others.

Smiling Kelsey runs through the long grass, her fingertips brushing the tops of them. "You're so cute," Richie comments from behind her.

Giggling she turns around, raising an eyebrow to the boy. "By running like a mad man?" She asks, placing her hands on her hips.

Chuckling he shakes his head, "Nah, by wearing a dress that just barely covers your ass," smirking the boy walks over, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Aww has Mr.Tozier became soft?" She jokes back, getting out of his grip, lacing their fingers together.

"Just don't tell the guys, and you won't have deal with the wrath later," he plays along, pinching her ass.

The girl squeaks covering her butt from the boy. "Tozier!" She sternly yells, walking away from the boy.

"Hey lovebirds over here!" Mike calls, waving the two over.

They each take a seat, Kelsey feeling petty sits between Stanley and Ben. As Richie sits in between Bill and Eddie, directly across from eachother.

"B-bev," Bill starts, looking to the left of him.

"I-i don't remember much, it felt I was dying," Beverly begins to explain. "I saw us, we were all back in the sewers, but we were older, like out parents ages," a gloom mood falls over the group, before Richie pipes up.

"Was I hot?" He asks, pushing his face up, making a stupid face.

"You grow in to your looks," she gives a soft chuckle as she responds.

"What the fuck does that mean?" Richie asks back, with a chuckle of his own.

"Mean's you look like a baby now, dickhead," Kelsey answers, throwing grass to the boy. The other's laughing, as Richie throws his one handful back to the girl.

"What about me?" Stanley joins in with a smile. The two stop their little battle, as they look to Bev.

A quick flash of sadness falls over Beverly's face, as she looks to the young boy. "L-like now, b-but older," she quickly answers. Stanley and Kelsey smile to eachother, before bumping shoulders together.

"W-what were we all doing in the sewers?" Bill asks, looking back at  Beverly.

"I don't remember, but I do remember the feeling, it's something I don't think I'll ever be able to forget," she grimaces, remembering the pain she felt.

Bill stands up, a glass shard in his hand, looking to the group. "P-promise it, i-if It isn't dead, w-we'll come back t-too," looking to his friends still sitting, holding the shard in his hand.

The first to stand was Beverly, then Richie, Eddie. Watching Richie stand up, Kelsey gets up after Eddie, followed by the rest of the Losers. Bill takes the first cut, slicing his hand, before going down the line. Each showing some type of pain, as the glass breaks skin.

Getting to Kelsey's turn, she hides in Stanley's shoulder. Hating the sight of something breaking skin, biting her lip to hold her cries back. As Bill goes to Ben, she looks back at her hand. Her eyes trailing up to Richie's worried expression. She offers soft smile to show the boy that she was fine, Richie relaxes just in time to feel Bill take his hand.

Going around the circle, they all clasp hands together. Each loser promising they would come back, if they needed too. Kelsey's eyes go from each of the Losers, smiling at the bond they all have mad over these past couple of months.

They all release their hands, "I need to go," Stanley breaks the silence, gazing to Bill. "I hate you," his voice sounds serious, before he breaks in to a laugh.

"We love you to Stanley Uris," Kelsey giggles, wrapping him in a hug.

Pulling away from the embrace, Stan begins to turn around. "Well I'll see you guys later," just as he walks off.

"Bye Stanley," Bill offers, waving to the boy.

Kelsey opens her backpack running after the boy. "Stan wait her," she smiles, taking a cookie out of a plastic bag. "I made some for everyone," she explains with a smile.

Stand takes it, smiling, "Thanks Keke, I'll see you tomorrow," he smiles.

She nods, returning the smile, "Of course Stan," the two walk away, Stanley heading back to his bike, Kelsey heading back to the group.

"I made one for everyone, it might be kinda gross, but I have napkins!" She smiles, taking the napkins out, using them to give each person a homemade sugar cookie with yellow frosting and blue sprinkles.

Each one of Losers express their gratitude to the girl, before she goes back to her spot. Eddie leaves next, hugging Richie before he leaves, waving to the rest. Next is Mike, he hugs Kelsey saying thank you once again, before he waves off everyone heading away from the group.

Kelsey walks over to Richie leaning her head on his shoulder. "I think we should go," he announces, holding Kelsey by the waist, as she nods.

Walking over she hugs Beverly, "Hey if you need anything don't hesitate to call me. I'm open twenty-four seven, if you need anything," pulling away with a smile.

"I will promise," Beverly confirms, as Kelsey goes to Bill hugging him, then finally Ben.

"That goes for the rest of you too," she giggles, finally going back to Richie.

"They got it mami come on," he says gently, pulling her hand. "Bye Bill, layer guys," he says as he leads them out of the grove.

Adjusting her backpack, she smiles as she gets one last look at the three remaining Losers. "My Losers," she smiles, hugging Richie from the side.

Chuckling he nods, kissing the top of her head as they stop at his bike. "Let's make our own pack," he takes his bloody hand in her's, as he pulled back.

"No matter what happens in the future, we promise to love eachother, to be understanding. To always, always come back to me, Kelsey Baker," the boy's brown eyes, meets her own, both of their hands holding onto eachother.

"I promise, to always love you with everything I have. To understand anything you have to throw at me, and I promise I'll always come back to you Richie Tozier. As long as you do the same for me," she smiles, a small tear falling down her slightly tan cheek.

Richie smiles, kissing the tear before pulling away, "I promise," his hands move to cup her face. "I love you Kelsey Baker, and I always will,"

"I love you too Richie Tozier," Rivhie pulls her in to a passionate kiss, both smiling like idiots as they pull away.
