The Losers Club climbed out and as they got on their bikes, they heard "phewwwww", the noise of a bikes tire popping. Everyone turned and saw Eddie slowly sinking as the air was released from the tire. Eddie slammed his head on the handles and yelled "shit!" Richie looked at Eddie as he got off and said "it's fine I'll just... walk" Eddie said in defeat. The Losers Club started peddling leave Eddie in the dust, but Richie didn't, he called Eddie's name. It caught Eddie's attention as he turned around. Richie stoped his bike. "Get on the handles!" Richie said. "What?! That's so dangerous!" Eddie said, crossing his arms. "What?! C'mon! It'll be so badass! Please!" Richie said. Eddie looked around and up and down at Richie. He rolled his eyes and said "move your hands before I sit on them..." Eddie said, sitting down on the handles. Richie smiled and pushed off, "EEEKKK- FUCK RICHIE! YOU'RE GOING TOO FAST!!" Eddie yelled.  Richie just laughed and continued to peddle. Eddie looked at Richie as the wind carried his thick black curls, and Richie glanced at Eddie as the sun made his dark brown eyes shimmer. Richie got to stop making Eddie slide up a little making him let out a small scream. "Did you HAVE to ride over EVERY pothole in Derry?!" Eddie said as he jumped down. Richie laughed and pushed back his hair. Eddie rolled his eyes and plopped on the ground as Richie sat next to him. Bill was the first to pull in after Richie and Eddie, then Stan, Bev, Mike, and finally Ben. Eddie got up and Richie did too. They all went into the arcade and split up, but Eddie stayed next to Richie, holding onto his jacket. It caught Richie off guard as he turned to see the small boy. "You ok Eds?" Richie asked. Eddie looked up and back down. "My name isn't Eds..." Eddie said as he took his hands off Richie's jacket and crossed his arms. Richie noticed how many people were there and came to a stop. Eddie looked at him. Richie looked at Eddie and said, "look, i know you're anxious about all the germs and people here, but i know all these guys and they won't bother you... ok?" Eddie looked at Richie and nodded, smiling a little bit. Richie smiled back and gestured
towards a shooter game. Eddie nodded and quickly walked to it, picking up one of the two guns and smiled. Richie blushed and walked to the one other one, picking it up, smiling back at him. It was not but 1 minute before the slow, melancholy, music of your avatar dying played. "What happened... oh shit!"
