Stan was sleeping peacefully in his room when he heard the bell ring. He walked to the door sleepy, kind of looking like a zombie once it was 2am.

He opened the door and yelled:

"RICHIE, I'M NOT PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK AT 2AM IN THE MORNING AGAIN AND I DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR "TO DO LIST IN THE AFTERLIFE" PISS OFF!"

"Wow, so Richie keeps being annoying."- the shadow standing in front of Stan said.

He knew that voice. He knew that voice so well. He had craved to hear that voice again for years now and it was happening.

"Bill.."- Stan started crying.

"When they told me I would see you again I.. I couldn't wait until the morning"- he smiled softly.-"I've been told the whole Losers Club is here."

"Yeah.."- he smiled of how unbelieavable this was-"Richie and Eddie are finally together."

"Damn I thought that would never happen! Remember those times we used to sleep at each other's places and make bets about when they would declare themselves to each other?"

"Yes, Bill, I remember"- Stan laughed-"Come in, it's freezing!"

"I should go to my place now, you know.."

"No."- Stan pushed Bill inside-"I've waited so long for this, I need to be with you right now. You have eternity to look at your house."

Bill smiled.

"I missed you Stan"

"You're not stuttering anymore.."

"I guess I might have asked not to stutter anymore.. that worked.. That Janet is God herself."- he laughed

Stan stared deep into Bill's eyes and then he kissed him. He knew he might ruin their friendship but it was all too much to handle.

Bill let go of the kiss and said:

"I never thought you.. felt the same.."

"I do. I really do Bill"- he kissed him again.

"WHO THE FORK IS AWAKE AT 2AM IN THE MORNING, RICHIE IF ITS YOU I SWEAR TO GOD...Oh"- she stopped when she saw two boys in the living room.

"Is she.. your..?"-Bill was shocked

"NO!"- They both yelled-"I'm his friend and I like girls, why does everyone always think I like their supposed boyfriends..."- Martha walked back into her bedroom.-"If you do it, KEEP IT DOWN. A girl needs her beauty sleep."

"I suppose she and Bev are best friends. They are much alike."-Bill said

"Yes, bingo. They are always together. Martha is waiting for Julia, the girl she likes."

"Oh"-Bill said-"Can we.. go to sleep? I'm kind of tired.."

"Yeah yeah sure!"- Stan held his hand and showed him the way to his room. The two boys fell to Stan's bed and stared into each other's eyes.

"Goodnight Stan"

"Night, Bill"

Richie was running trough the park promoting his new comedy show. Eddie walked behind him slowly giving up because of his asthma.

"TOMORROW, 6PM BE THERE ITS GONNA BE LEGEND-WAIT FOR IT-DARY!!!"

"He's been watching How I met your Mother, please don't mind him"- Eddie explained embarrassed.

"Richie I'm dying. Please stop for 5 minutes."

"Fineee shortie"- he kissed him softly.

"Get off me, you're sweaty."

He laughed. Richie looked around the park and he saw Stan holding hands with another boy. A tall boy, he slowly recognized.

"BILLY BOY!"- Richie yelled- "STUTTERING BILL YOU'RE HERE!"

"Richie!"- they hugged-"I missed you!"

"You all like to lie so much"- he rolled his eyes as Eddie and Bill hugged each other.

"It's been like forever!"- Bill said.

"It really has. Eds we could get marr-"

"NO! Richie I love you, but that's enough marriages. I will only attend these two wedding and that's it."

Stan and Bill looked at each other embarrassed and Bill said:

"We have eternity to think about that."

"You're right. You do."

"I can't wait to spend eternity with you"- Stan said to Bill softly.

The Losers were having lunch. Peace. Nothing but peace. They all felt happy. They were a huge family, always together and perfectly fine with each other.

Richie left the room and went down to the bridge to stare at the sky for a bit. He felt tired. Happy, complete, but tired. Was this the feeling they described when you're ready to leave?

He stared at Eddie trough the window. He looked so happy, he was laughing at something Mike said. Richie smiled aswell. How could he ever leave him? What would happen if he did?

He stood there for long 10minutes until Eddie came looking for him.

"Richie, you ok?"

"Yeah Eds, just needed some fresh air."

"Looks like you were thinking. That's not normal."- he smiled.

Richie smiled aswell: "Yeah.. I was.."

"What's wrong?"

"Eds what if I.. what if I felt ready to leave?"

Eddie stopped and stared at him.

"Like leave.. walk through the door?"

"Yes, like that.."-he mumbled-"I'm not even sure I feel like it but I.."

"I've been feeling like that too. Like I'm ready. But I'm too scared of giving up on everything we have here."

"Then we shouldn't"- Richie held Eddie's hands.-"Maybe we should stay."

"Or maybe we should go.. we've done everything. We've been truly happy with each other. Aren't you getting sort of bored of.. everything?"

"Yes.. I am"- Richie nodded.

"Maybe.. maybe this was it you know? We had our happily ever after. And it has to end. The wave returns to the ocean.."- Eddie read the billboard standing in front of them.

"We'll be part of the universe's essence. Never thought that would happen.."- Richie smiled.-"I've always thought I would burn in hell to be fair."

"But before we go.. I want to do it in every city again"- Eddie smirked.

"You horny bastard"- Richie took Eddie's hand and Ran-"Janet"

"Hi there"

"We want to go around the world. Every city. Now."

"With pleasure"

Paris, Lisbon, New York, London, Florida, Russia, Spain, Italy, Brazil... the whole word was theirs. They were free. And now, they were back.

They stood in front of the door, as Janet spoke.

"You can sit there for as long as you want and when you're ready just walk trough the door."

Eddie and Richie looked at each other.

"I love you, prick"

"I forked your mom"- Eddie answered.

"Don't. I'm not sure I can't handle that pain again"- he turned to face Eddie

"I love you too, asshole"

They kissed. For the very last time. And they kissed, and kissed, and kissed for what seemed like eternity. They held hands and sighted. They looked at each other one last time and they walked trough the door, being now part of the universe. But there was something that they left behind, something that would never disappear. And that.. was their love. And their story. And let me tell you guys, it was the greatest love story.
