Richies POV:

We all bounced back after a screen thing came out of stans-well bens chest but stans mind or whatever;"what the fuck!"

We all looked at it,"a hologram?" Bev asked, and walked closer.

"S-s-s-strengths w-w-weaknesses?" Eddie asked. You could tell the stutter was annoying him.

"Yeah strengths: historian,architecture,loyal,fearless ,book reader...HOW IS THAT A STRENGTH?Stan read out,"and weaknesses cupcakes...cupcakes? Speed,strength,heat."

We all looked around each other until it clicked in our heads again,"so those are our weaknesses and strengths-" "duh" I looked over at eddie who said duh and rolled my eyes," like Eddie inherited bills stuttering since he moved into bills body so it must be same for strengths and weaknesses!"

"How did you do that?" Bill asked Stan,"I don't know I just patted myself down and I think I pressed my chest."

Everyone started pressing themselves down, I pressed my chest next,not gonna lie it felt weird touching Stanley's body up. A hologram appeared out of my chest,Stanley's weaknesses and strengths.

"Okay Stanley lets see what you've got!" I said,staring at the screen,"strengths: ornithology,what the fuck is ornithology?" I ask Stan.

"It's the study of birds Richie." He rolled his eyes at me."I study eddies mom what's the word for that?" I laugh,"beep beep Richie."

"Ok so we have: ornithology,perfectionist,intelligence, and weaknesses;timid,weak,is that it?" Stanley shrugged, "I'm not that special,"

I looked around,"who's next?"

"I-I'll g-g-go." Eddie volunteered and pressed his chest,"I'll read it out for you eddie,I know how frustrated you are with the stuttering,"

His face turned red and seemed confused, I think he was wondering if I was being considerate or making fun of him.

"Ok strengths:loyal,fearless, caring, leadership skills,determined,loving,good-hearted, sounds about right and weaknesses; stuttering, how is stuttering a weakness?" That seemed to be about it.

Bill, looked shy, fiddling with his fingers,"that's good." He stated.

Beverly stepped forward ,"Me next, well eddies strengths and stuff but you know!" She yelled.

She pressed her chest and the hologram appeared  again," okay strengths; fast runner, woah didn't know that, resourceful, first aid, now weaknesses,fearful, asthmatic, 'gross stuff',germs,diseases and that's about it. Eddies eyebrows furrowed and he tucked his bottom lip in; even in bills body, he's still got his mannerisms from when he was in his own body.

"Ok, who next?" We all looked around,"I'll go." Bill volunteered,"step up to the podium my boy and press your chest!" I say in a terrible British accent.

Everyone groans at me,"ok here we go," "wait!" He yelled and looked at Beverly,"is it ok if I?" He gestured to his, well her chest. She nodded,"don't worry you're just pressing a button thing anyway," he nodded.

She wouldn't admit it, but I saw her flinch as he pressed it, I would too if Al was my father, that dick.

He pressed his chest and stumbled back a bit,"ok so strengths;loyal,determined,dance fighting? I didn't know you could do that, that's so cool! Ok fearless,tough,intelligent,compassionate, fashion?,that's awesome but let's look at weaknesses,ok hemophobia , what's that?" "Fear/phobia of blood," Stanley and Ben said in unison."ok so fear of blood, I would be too after..." I trailed and looked down at my feet,we all remember the day they had to clean her bathroom.

"ok moving on so hemophobia and...father..."everyone was silent and looked to Bev,who was looking down at her feet,I think I saw a tear,Bill looked guilty and pressed his chest so the hologram went away.

"Ok my turn!" Ben said, trying to get the attention away from Beverly,"wait you're me!" I said,he nodded,"let's see what trashmouth has." I kinda panicked,what if being a gay mess is on the list?

He pressed his,well MY chest but you know what it's just his chest I don't care anymore Ben is now a skinny noodle.

Anyway,the hologram appeared."ok trashmouth strengths,loyal,caring,fearless,eyes,being a trashmouth, wow richie," I grinned"I TOLD YOU MOTHER FUCKERS MY MOUTH WAS A GIFT!" I laughed."and comedic...huh,that's surprising." Stanley said and groaned."whats eyes? You have glasses?" "I don't know."

Everyone rolled their eyes but laughed along."Ok weaknesses," I took a deep breathe.,"not knowing to let go,is that even a scientific term?" I sighed in relief ,so far not bad,"yeah like the time I wouldn't leave eddie when penny wise was coming,"

They all nodded,"ok so not knowing when to let go, friend needy...Richie you're not needy or whatever ?" I gasped,"that must be a glitch for someone else maybe they meant for eddies mom she's clingy too me I know that!" I laugh it off. In reality, if these guys left me,if any one of them did, especially Eddie, I'd be a goner.

"I don't know just move on," I grumbled,they took the hint,"that seems to be it for Richie wait, am I the only one with fighting moves?"Bill laughed.

We all sat in silence for a bit,"ok who's next?" We looked around,"Mikey boi let's see what you got!"

He smiled,"uh ok," and shrugged his shoulders,he pressed his chest,"ok for me, my strengths:veteran,so like a vet person a war person I don't know," he laughed nervously",ok cool I guess, and I have agronomist, that's like an expert farmer I think,caring, intelligent, good aim,trustworthy,ok and weaknesses Fire that's it..."

We all just wanted to get a move on and hurry up and get home,"who is left?"

"I think that's it!"
"Thank god the author was running out of ideas and on the verge on a breakdown! "

We all looked around at each other,"what next?" The ground began to shake,"I think..." Bill started and then he looked alarmed,"what the fuck is that?" A group of hippos were running at us,"I think we should run!" "AGREED!" And then we ran.
