Stan was sitting on his porch playing his uke and singing a song he made up. 

"You're pretty like a sunflower 

Take me to a better place

Lay me by your side

Kiss me softly in the moonlight"

Bill was walking up the driveway when he heard Stans' angelic voice. He stopped walking listening closer to the words

"Take your time 

Make sure,  you've got it right

Don't go wasting mine or your time

Kiss me in the moonlight"

Stan didn't notice Bill, he was so involved with the music he had his eyes shut tight.

"Now I've seen gold 

But nothing beats the smile you hold

And I've seen silver

We've never been closer

And I see bronze

But nothing can compare to you and i

So before I die"

Bill stood there staring at the boy wondering who could have impacted such a beautiful song, they must be pretty important Bill thought.

"Kiss me like a maple leaf

Does to a summer breeze

And hug my till the air I breathe

Leaves my body please" 

Stans' face had tear tracks down his cheeks falling onto the ukelele as he strummed the different cords.

"And that's all I'm gonna ask of you

Just kiss me till I'm gone

Ill meet you on the other side

So just lay with me"

Stan looked up eyes widening at the sight of Bill.

"How long have you been standing there?"

"N-not lo-ong"

"But long enough to hear the song?"

"Ya" Bill said sheepishly. There was a long pause coming from the two boys.

"Do you mind if I a-ask you who it was ab-bout?"

"Id rather not get into that right now" Stan wiped his tears putting his uke away and plastering a tight smile on his face.

"Stan..."

"What! I'm fine, okay?" Stan didn't mean to be so harsh it just kind of slipped out.

"Ya, o-okay"

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to sna-"

"WHAT'S UP MOTHERFUCKERS!"

"Richie! Would you shut up!" Eddie hit Richies' chest with the back of his hand.
