(Y/n pov.)

Beverly slowly steps down the ladder followed closely by Richie who stepping down proceeds to adjust his glasses. "What the stick is this? How'd you build it?" Bill enters looking around  followed by Eddie. "When did you build it?" Ben looks shy "here and there, I guess. It was already dug out from something so I just had to reinforce the walls, get some wood for the roof door, and that's pretty much it. Pretty good for my first time huh?" He leans against a beam and part of the roof falls. Stan looks scared and Richie speaks up now thats a cool feature what happens when you put your hand on the other pillar professor?" "OK you see this is exactly why there are safety codes, why we have permits!" Eddie says walking towards Ben. "This place is a death trap you understand that?" "Well its a work in progress ok, Eddie?" You send Ben a sympathetic glance. "Just so you know if I get hurt you are liable, also what is this, the switch of an iron maiden?" "Thats a flashlight". "What  is that a horse hitch? When do you have horses down..." you put a hand on Eddie's shoulder and he looks down. "Oh this is cool". "That was like three dollars so be careful with that please". "I have one of these", Eddie says picking up the paddle ball "hey Stan you see this". He says smacking it towards Stan's face. "Yeah ok can you, maybe not?" "Maybe not what? Yeah, yeah maybe not what? Be awesome and have fun and celebrate the magic of the paddle ball?!!" It breaks. "Wow oh good going frick nut you broke his thing." "I broke it?" "Yeah you broke it with your face." "What?" "I'm not putting my flicking hand down there." "Well I am." You bend down and fish the ball out from between the pallet slats. "Eddie give me a buck" "a dollar?!" You give him a look. "Fine", you take the dollar and hand it to Ben. Eddie gawks at you "you broke it I'm going to fix it Stan's not culpable, its done". Everyone looks at you and you shrug. "What?"

"How did we all not remember that this was here?" "Hey losers....time to float" everyone lookes up towards the dark corner terrified. Ben falls backwards and you catch him as Richie emerges from the darkness cackling. "Ah frick Richie" "Dude!" "Remember when he used to say that shoot and he'd do that little dance." Richie waves his arms and makes obscene banjo like noises and you bite back laughter. "Am I the only one who remembers this shoot?" "Are you gonna be like this the entire time we're home?" Eddie quips. "Alright just trying to add some levity to this shoot, I'll go frick myself." He whistles and turns around and you snicker which earns you a dirty look from Ben. "It smells so fricking terrible in here." "Hye you guys...this s-says Stan, for the use of l-l-losers only." "Bill-

"The frick is this?" Says Richie incredulously."So you don't get spiders stuck in your hair when your down here". "Stanley we're not afraid of frickin spiders". Everyone else looks at you and richie while pulling the caps on. He glances at you "I stand corrected" you laugh. "Thats a first Bev quips "touche" Richie counters as Eddie approaches Richie still lounging in the hammock. "Hey, Rich your ten minutes are up", "what are you talking about?" "The hammock ten minutes each was the rule!" "I don't see any sign." "Are you being this way right now! Really? No nu no no! Why would there be a sign if it was a verbal agreement?! And I remember you agreeing on the fricking rule!" You laugh at the 2 as they struggle and put a hand on the hammock so they don't flip the thing.
"Man when I graduate I'm going to Florida." "Whats in Florida Mike?" "I-i don't know I guess it's just a place I've always wanted to go". "Stan you should go with Mike to Florida, you already act 80 you'd clean up with all the grandmas". Everyone chuckles except you and Stan. "D-do you guys think we'll still be friends?" He pauses and you feel like your thoughts are being said aloud and you don't like it. "When we're older?" "What?" "Why wouldn't we be?" "D-do any of your parents still hang out with there friends from middle school? I mean things might be different then...we all might be different" "W-we'll always still be friends, I don't think that just g-g-goes away because we get older." "Yeah, Stan come on you don't have to be so-

"Sad..." "He was old before his time.." "Yeah, and you all proved him right too". "Still here guys". Stan interjects and Bill throws him his shower cap. "Alright Mike what are we doing here?" Richie says and Mike gets up. "The ritual to preform it, it requires a sacrifice." "Sacrifice? I nominate Eddie", you lowfive Richie. "Wait, what?" "Because your little you'll fit on a barbecue" "I'm five nine its like average hight for most of the world"... "Its not that kind of a s-sacrifice it- Mike". "The past is buried but your gonna have to dig it up, peice by peice, and these peices, these artifacts thats why we're here, they are what you'll sacrifice". "Soooo...Stan already found his?"

(Smol time skip)

"So Mike where do we find our tokens?" "I gotta be honest man all due respect this is frickin stupid Alright why do we need tokens? Alright we already remember everything, saving Bev defeating It, I mean we're caught up". "Thats not everything, we fought but what happened after that? Before the house at Neibolt? Think..." "We-w-w c-c-ca-an't remember, can we?" "See there's more to our story, what happened that summer, and those blank spaces like pages just torn out of a book, thats what you need to find". "No one remembers me visiting them? Really? I guess we really got messed up huh..." "We need to split up, you each need to find your artifact, alone, thats important, when you do meet me at the library tonight". "I gotta-I gotta say statistically speaking if you look at survival senireos we're gonna do much better as a group". "Yeah splitting up would be dumb man, we gotta ago together alright? We were together that summer right?" "No, not that who-....whole summer".
