"𝐝𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝!" richie shouts, "she probably knows about georgie! see look!" he marches over to ten, who is seated on a couch. he grabs a toy airplane and holds it in front of her. "concentrate" he says. she looks at him confused, and he drops the plane.

nothing.

 "o-okay, use your powers" he picks it back up and drops it. she looks at him still confused, when bill and stan walk over to her.

"shes not a d-d-dog richie" bill yells as stan slaps him and puts the plane back. "t-tomorrows the last day of school, and we c-can't just leave her here." bill says. "stans mom will find her t-t-then so on, s-son on."

eddie walks over with a grin on his face. "we could sneak her in!" he says excitedly. "how in the hell would we do that dipshit?" richie scoffs.

"i mean, look at her" 

the boys all turn to look at ten, who looks back a bit worried.

stan sits her down on his bed as he grabs his sisters old makeup kit. stan has no clue how to use makeup, but tried anyways. he dips a brush into the blush and touches her cheek. she jumps back, which makes stan laugh, she starts to giggle too. he puts some pink lip gloss on her and eddie and richie walk in with a pink dress and a blonde wig.

"here, put these on." stan hands her the things and the boys walk out of the room. 

"gosh, this is not going to work. she probably doesn't even know how to put a wig on-" eddie starts when stan's door creeks open. ten steps out, her ocean blue eyes sparkling and a small smile on her face.

"you l-look p-p-" bill stutters.

"pretty" stan finishes. he then blushes, "p-pretty good. you look pretty good." he says, his cheeks flustered. she smiles and walks over to a mirror. eddie and richie smirk at stan when he turns, giving them a glare.

"pretty." she starts. "good." 

"okay, we better get going." stan says, grabbing her wrist. "wait st-stan. how would we s-sneak her i-in?" bill asks as they grab their bikes. "its the last day of school, no one will care" stan says hopefully. 

"here, hop on" stan says, patting his bike. ten straddles the back and wraps her arms around stans waist. the warmth of stans body makes her feel safe. a feeling she never felt before.

"okay, she sticks with me the whole day. got it?" stan instructs as they push their bikes into the bike stand. he then turns to her. "okay. you can not tell anyone about your powers, about how we met. about the bad people. Okay?" stan whispers. "yes" she replies softly with a nod. 

the five kids walk into school, praying that no one questions ten. they walk past the bowers gang, eyeing them up as usual. stan and bill stand close to ten, covering her up from the boys. 

the day goes surpisingly well, no teachers even noticed that ten was there. most of the teachers just gave up, as it was the last day. stan grabs ten by the wrist as the final bell rings and they run out of algebra. 

they soon see the three boys and catch up. "hey stan, what happens at the bar mitzvah? eddie says they slice the tip of your d-dick off." bill smiles. ten looks at him confused and then at stan. 

"yeah, and i think the rabbis going to pull down your pants, turn to the crowd and say 'wheres the beef!'" richie snorts. ten giggles, stan's cheeks going red.

"at the bar mitzvah, i read from the torah, make a speech and suddenly i become a man." stan explains. 

"i can think of funner ways to become a man" richie smirks, "more fun you mean" stan corrects. the pass the bowers gang again, bill, stan and richie hide ten from them. patrick looks at richie and licks his lips. gross.

"you think they will sign my year book? dear richie, sorry for taking a hot steamy dump in your backpack last month. have a good summer" richie sighs as the turn to go down the stairs. gretta keene walks into ten and stan, and marches her way over to the girls bathroom. ten stops and is about to follow her when she feels some hands on her forearms. 

"i wouldn't do that ten, shes trouble" eddie explains turning her back around. "yeah, she's a mouth breather" richie says as the walk down the stairs. ten turns to richie "mouth breather?" she questions. "its someone who's a real idiot." he explains.

"i understand."

as soon as they get outside they all crowd around the rubbish bins, emptying the contents of their back packs into them. "best feeling ever." stan smiles. 

"yeah? try tickling your pickle for the first time" richie snorts. ten looks at him confused, "pickle?" she asks. "ignore him ten." eddie scoffs, pulling his back back onto his back, scowling at richie.

 "what do you guys want to do tomorrow?" eddie tries to change the conversation.

"start more traning" richie says. "training?" ten perks up from behind stan, she moves and stands in between richie and stan. "yeah, street fighter."

"like she knows what s-s-st-treet fighter is r-r-richie" bill mumbles.

"is that how you wanna spend your whole summer? inside of an arcade?" eddie scoffs. "beats spending it inside your mother, oooh!" richie raises his hand to stan, who grabs it and lowers it down. 

"what if we go to the quarry?" stan suggests. "quarry?" ten asks, "yeah. swimming"

she looks to the ground and starts to breath a bit quick. "guys, the barrens" bill says. "betty ripsoms mom..." eddie mumbles. the group turns to see a woman, looking quite upset. with two cops. "is she really expecting to see her coming out of school?" stan sighs.

"i don't know. as if betty ripsom's been hiding in home ec, for the last few weeks." eddie sighs. "you think they will actually find her?"

"sure, in a ditch. all decomposed covered in worms and maggots smelling like eddies moms underwear" richie says, pushing his bifocals up his nose. "shut up! this is fucking stupid-" eddie shouts. "shes not dead, shes m-m-missing." bill says.

"sorry bill, shes missing." richie mumbles. the group starts walking over to the bike racks when richie perks up.

"you know, the barrens aren't that bad. everyone loves splashing around in shitty water-" richie is cut off when henry bowers tugs on his backpack, sending him flying into ten and stanley.

patrick kneels next to stan and picks up his kippah. "nice frisbee flamer," 

"give it back!"

he then throws it into a passing school bus. belch then burps into eddies ear, who gags and falls over. henry then grabs one of tens slim arms and pulls her off the ground.

"whos this chick?" he asks holding her tight. "let her go!" eddie shouts standing up. "why? shes cute, now i understand why you four walk so funny around us-" he is cut off when tens eyes glow a scarlet red.

pain shoots through henry's head, and he drops her onto the ground. "what the fuck!" he yells, bill helps her up and she wipes the blood off her nose. "what the fuck did you do to me?" henry starts walking closer to her, when he stops.

he looks over her shoulder and sees his dad, staring at him. he turns back to ten. "next time i see you, your dead girly. and your faggot friends" he hisses. henry licks his hand and wipes it on bills face. he turns and the gang follow him to belches car. 

"mouth breather."
