Richies pov:

I sweat nervously, and I'm not sure wether it's because Eddie is holding my hand or it's the news of penny wise being back. Either way, both are scaring me.

The road was a little bumpy and we all sat in silence,nothing to really say. At least we knew how to defeat that dumbass clown. But he knew we were coming,surely.

The one thing that terrifies me most is if that asshole learned from his past mistakes.

My thoughts are interrupted as I feel a head on my shoulder,I freeze and look down to a sleeping eddie.

I try not too think about it, we're literally about to save a...planet? A video game...? Who knows...but shits about to go down between us as a crazy killer clown and I'm here with a grin,just because my best friend (and my crush),has his head on me.

Mike turned his head back and smiled at me warmly. Then so did Stan, who had a shit eating grin and poked Beverly, who also turned around to look at us.

She smiled and then frowned,"I'll give you your ten bucks when we're out of here." She said moodily as Stan started laughing.

I finally came back to real life and asked Stan what was so funny.

Stans POV:

Me and Beverly made a bet after we went to neibolt for the first time, when Eddie broke his arm. Richie felt terrible for making it worse but we all saw how worried he was, no matter how close penny wise got Richie stayed with Eddie. Beverly said that they would get together next year, I said before the end of the year and it's  early December,it was risky on my part but I still went for it because Richie obviously had feelings for Eddie,though he would never admit.

After I explained this to Richie he freaked,eyes wide,"we are NOT dating,he's just tired!" He huffed and looked out of the window, my smile faded but Beverly beamed,"never mind Stan the man can't wait for my ten bucks next year!"

Bev understood all of us easily, even if we didn't tell her, my chances of winning this bet are so very low. But I like a challenge . I decide to pass time by identifying the birds outside, as bill listened to me with a smile. He's the best.

Before we knew it,Nigel announced,"we are here, good luck on your journey!"

"But where do we go?" Bill asked,"good luck on your journey!" Nigel kept repeating until we got out and he drove of.

Eddies face was flushed red, he must of realized that he feel asleep on richies shoulder.

"An npc..." Richie announces, we all looked at him, who was still red and kind of quiet from hearing about Beverly and I's bet.

"He didn't speak like us, he kept repeating phrases, that's what a npc does,"

"What's a-a-an nppc?" Eddie asked,"great question it's a non player character so they were built into the game!"
A mixture of' 'ohhhhs' and 'ughhhh's spread throughout the group.

I pressed my- well bens chest and something came out of it,"what the fuck?" I yelled,it seemed like a hologram.
