Mike lead the other losers out in to the woods.
"the Barrens" Beverly sighed moving around Beth and bill. "this is were we came, after the rock fight" Ben smiled.
"so what's so special here" Eddie asked. "the clubhouse!" Richie and Beth both said at the same time and received a weird look from Stan. "you and  Beth built that for us" Beverly smiled and playfully nudged Ben. "yeah, the hatch has to be around here clos-" Beth said but was cut off by the sound of a twig snapping as she tripped and prepared her self for the fall. "whoa, whoa" Bill stuttered and quickly caught her before she fell. He quickly snaked his arms around her waist and she held on to his shoulders making their faces inches apart. "you o-okay?" she was lost for words and just shook her head yes followed by a small chuckle. "what?" he said smirking and tilting his head to the side. "nothing, it's just you haven't changed" he arched an eyebrow and questioned her. "it's a good thing though" she assured him padding his shoulder and exited out of his arms.

Ben rolled his eyes at Bill as he saw him having his hands all over his sister. He quickly brushed it off and started tapping and stomping his boot on the ground looking for the door "it was a hatch right?" Beth asked her brother as she helped look for the hatch. "you know what? I actually think the door was more like around -" Ben's voice was cut off when the ground disappeared from under him and his sister making them  fall  through the dirt. "nice job Brainiac" Beth sighed as she thumped her head on a old stack of comics. "we found it" Ben shouted. "we're okay! Come down" Ben shouted to the losers.

Flashback.
Ben and Beth both stood in the new club house as the other's climbed down. "what the dick is this?" Richie asked pushing his glasses back on his nose. "how did you guys build it"
"when did you build it?" Bill asked looking at Beth. "here and there, I guess" Ben answered.
"it's was already dug out from something, so we just had to reinforce the walls and get some wood for the roof door and that was pretty much it" Beth explained moving over to Bill's side. "not bad for my first time." Ben smiled and leaned on one of pillars making part of the roof fall making the sun  shine through. The losers jumped and Beth quickly jumped and gripped Bill's arm not expecting it.
"that's a cool feature" Richie said running his mouth "what happens when you putt your hand the other pillar, professor?" he said sarcastically. "beep beep Richie" Beth said and quietly realized she was still linked to Bill. He smirked but she quietly pulled away blushing.
"okay, you see, this is exactly why there are safety codes" Eddie said sounding  agitated "why we have permits" he said slapping the side of his hand to the palm of his other. "this place is a death trap" he said frantically.
"it's a work in progress okay, Eddie" Ben sighed. "Eddie its fine" Beth smiled. "just so you know, I get hurt you two are liable" he said pointing at the two Hanscoms. "and, also, what's this? A switch of an iron maiden?"
"that's a flashlight smart one" Beth said crossing her arms. "what's that a horse hitch?"he said complaining more and started to walk to the other side of the clubhouse but stopped his ranting suddenly." oh this is cool" he picked up a paddle ball. "honestly he took that way better than I thought he would" Beth whispered to Bill.
"that was like three dollars, so please be careful with that, please" Ben said
"i have one of these. Hay, Stan, you see this?" Eddie smiled bouncing the ball in Stan's face. "yeah, okay, can you maybe not" Stan said flinching back very time the ball bounced to him. "maybe not what? Yeah. Hold on. Maybe not what? Be awesome and have fun and celebrate the magic of the paddle-ball?" he did it faster and Eddie lost his grip on it and it flew towards Stan breaking the ball. "oh, good going fuck nut you broke his thing"
"I broke it?" Stan said sounding aggravated. "yeah, you broke it with your face." Eddie said back.
"what the fuck is wrong with these two" Beth whispered to her self.

Eddie bent down and grabbed the old paddle ball. "you better not celebrate the magic of the paddle-ball again" Stan groined. "I'm surprised it's still standing its 27 years old" Beth sighed moving by Stan and linking her hand in his.
"found your old lost boys poster Beth" Beverly laughed. Beth chuckled back and walked over to Bill and  went through the old comics with him.
"hay losers," a voice said. It was unknown and was emulating from the dark part the the house. "time to float." Beth quickly stood back and grabbed a bat that was left down there. The losers all stood back with there hearts pounding. Richie came out of the dark laughing making everyone give him dirty looks.
"f-fuck Richie" Bill sighed hitting his head on a piece of plywood that was holding the roof up. "dude!"
"remember he used to say that shit and he would do that little dance" Richie smirked and swayed his arms back in forth. Everyone stared at him blankly and annoyed. "am i only one who remembers this shit?"
"are going to be like this entire time we're home?" Eddie asked. Richie just shook his head. "all right. Just trying to add some levity to this shit... I go fuck myself" he said and walked off whistling.
"hay Stan" Beth called after she found an old ten with his name. Stan took it and opened it showing the old shower caps.
"all right what are we doing down here?" Stan asked.
"the ritual. To perform it requires a sacrifice" Mike explained.
"sacrifice? I nominate Eddie" Richie smiled.
"wait? What?"he wined.
" because your little. You'll fit on a barbeque"
"I'm 5-9 it's like average height in most worlds and if you want someone small nominate Beth she's smaller than me"
"fuck you Eduardo"
Bill rolled his eyes. "it's not that kinda sacrifice guys."
" the past is buried or you're going to have to dig it up" he said. "Piece by piece. And these pieces these artifacts that's why we're here" he explained " that's what you're sacrificing"

All the losers climbed out and Beth immediately planted herself on a rock and bill set next to her
"okay, Mike where do we find our tokens ?" Eddie asked.
" yeah I got to be honest man all due respect. This is fucking stupid alright" Richie sighed " why do we need tokens all right lower to remember everything saving Bev and Beth, defeating it. I mean we're all caught up"
" that's not everything we fought. But what happened after that before the house on nibolt" Mike questioned
"I think..."
They all give blank stares to to  each other not remembering what happened that day.
" we can't remember can we?" Bill Stuttering on his words.
" see there's more to our story. What happened that summer in all those blank spaces. There were like Pages torn out of the book and that's what we need to find. we need to split up and  find your artifact alone and that's important"
Everyone looked like animals with fear in their eyes. some shook their head, some just looked at the ground.
" And after you find it we'll meet at the library tonight " Mike ordered.
" I got to say. Statistically speaking you look at survival scenarios. We're going to do a lot better as a group" Eddie explained. " just pulling up would be dumb. Got to go together. We were to go the whole summer right? " ask Richie. "no" Bill stepped in stuttering out his words "no not that whole summer" Beth sighed rubbing  her  hands together. she looked at the grass remembering the time they all fought and split up.
" we'll split up and find our tokens that's it period" Beth side as she followed Stan out of the woods
