bev; okay so it's stan's birthday on friday

eddie; lol i already knew that

bill; besides the point

bev; i want to throw a birthday party for him

richie; a surprise?

ben; ^^^

bev; yes

richie; we can do it at my house

ben; eddie make it seem like you're taking him on a date and we'll text you when we're ready

bill; yeah and just say something dumb like "oh richie has my charger i need to grab it"

bev; but when that happens, stay inside for awhile so stan will feel obligated to come in to see what's taking so long and we'll scream surprise

richie; holy shit stan is going to be 18

eddie; woah

eddie; i just realized i won't even be 17 until november

mike; how is he so much older

richie; stan ended up getting held back for lack of social skills

bill; ahha ur funny rich

richie; u act like i'm joking babe

bill; oh

ben; that's kind of sad

eddie; i don't care if he was held back

eddie; if he wasn't, he wouldn't be mine right now

bev; stop it with that cute shit

ben; oh hush you know it was adorable
