June 30th, 1986

Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Max, and Eleven had gotten together that day, and would be seeing each other a lot more now that summer has arrived.

They were riding their bicycles to the tiny playground in Hawkins, which was surrounded by woods.

Hopper trusted Eleven enough to go out too, so she was content and excited about that.

Will was the only one absent from the group, since he was having epileptic seizures the past few nights, and was in the hospital since that morning, when Joyce booked an appointment with the neurologist

“So, is anyone nervous for high school in September?” Dustin asked the group

“Not me,” Max laughs, “I’m in an all-grade school.”

“I think we should be fine, Dusty.” Mike said

“Yeah, as long as you don’t do that thing with your teeth.” said Lucas

Dustin does that usual cat impression, purring.

“Seriously man, don’t do that.” said Lucas

“So, El,” Mike changed the subject, “Are you planning on coming to high school with us? We could see each other more and everything!”

Eleven looked at him, then down

“I don’t know…” she responded, “I will have to convince my dad. Hopefully next year.”

“So what’s everyone’s plans for Fourth of July?” Mike had asked

“I don’t know about you guys, but Steve and Johnathan gave me and Will extra tickets to see The Clash in Boston!” said Dustin

Mike and Eleven and Max and Lucas already planned a double date for going to see the fireworks later that night on the Fourth of July.

The two couples were also planning on going to Derry’s Fourth of July fair. It ran from 11:30 - 6 pm, and Mike had convinced them to go around 11:30 or 12. Mike didn’t want to bump into his brother Richie, and he knew the losers were not planning on going until around 2:30.

“Seriously Mike, how come you’re always trying to separate me and Richie?” Dustin groaned, “If it was Bill or Stan you wouldn’t care!”

“You’re not even going to be in town!” Mike responded, “But you know what he’s like. He’s my brother, and I don’t want him to embarrass me in front of you guys or any of the other losers.”

“Well…he’s not that bad.” said Lucas

Max nodded in agreement with what Lucas and Dustin said.

“Not happening, guys.” said Mike, “We’ll meet up with Bill’s group some other time.”

The five of them had spent the rest of the overcast afternoon on their bikes, talking, planning stuff, and talking about high school.

A car had pulled up to the dirt road parking lot of the playground.

The five of them were the only ones in the park, they figured people thought it was going to rain, all because it was cloudy.

All of them had noticed the people in the car were just sitting there. Not getting out, and it didn’t look like they were planning to leave any time soon.

Neither of them could tell if they were males or females, since they were to far away.

But they all felt like the car of 2 or more people were watching them, but they had decided to ignore them.

After about 5 minutes, the car had honked

They looked over, and noticed a girl step out of the vehicle, the driver of the car. All the while calling out “Hey! Excuse me!”, followed by three other girls leering out behind her.

Neither of the five knew what to say, and were just confused. They watched as they slowly made their way over the swings they were hanging around

“Hi there..” the leader sighed in a high-pitch voice.

“Um, hello?” Lucas responded

The leader of the pack looked like she was unsure of what to say, all the while the other three girls behind her glared over at them.

The five of them knew that these girls were giving off a creepy vibe, and didn’t really look like girls when they glanced at them a second time.

“Sorry, I was just thinking for a minute,” the leader responds after several moments of awkward silence, “Hi Max, I take you’re Billy’s sister?”

“Not by blood, thank god.” Max grumbled

“Let me introduce ourselves.” said the leader, “My name is Hillary, and these are my friends Catherine, Bethany, and Victoria.”

“And you’re telling us this because?” Dustin wondered

“Because I can.” “Hillary” growled whilst shaking, “I’m sorry about talking to you that way, we just wanted to ask about dir -”

“She” looked over at Mike, studying him

“Hey, do you have a twin by any chance?” “Hillary” had asked

“Yeah, unfortunately. Why?”

“Nothing.” she glared over at him, and “her” expression changed when “she” said “Just wondering, that’s all.”

Mike stared down, avoiding direct eye contact with these sketchy looking girls.

“About the directions,” “Hillary” changed the subject, “Can you point to us Hawkins High school?”

The five of them awkwardly pointed the direction, then the four “girls” turned back around, making their way back to the car.

“Thank you!” the leader called out, and they had gotten into their car fast, while the tires screeched down the dirt road, a belch could be heard from their open windows.

Mike and the rest of them waited until the car was out of sight, and walked up to the parking lot, just wandering up there from curiosity.

That’s when Lucas noticed something on the ground

He picked up the piece of paper, all crumpled up, while Max looked over his shoulder

“Oh. My god. Mike! Guys!” Lucas called out

“What is it?” Mike asked, while everyone huddled over Lucas

What read on the note was the following:

Leave clothes over by school. Next time leave them by open field at Hawkins. Away from Derry. Ask It’s partner in crime, to not strike those fag kids until school starts. We got most of them. But the job is not done.

“Holy shit, those clothes we found last time…” Dustin shuddered, “I saw - Did any of you -”

The group seemed to know what he was talking about. All of this sounded sketchy, and they all had seen a man with a suit before, but were unable to see his face.

Eleven’s nose had began to bleed

“El, are you okay?” Mike wrapped his arm around her, comforting Eleven

“We need to tell dad about this.” Eleven croaked

Neither of them bothered to question, as those girls they had just witnessed seemed sketchy, as did the note.

July 4th, 1986

The losers had met up around 2 pm to go to Derry’s Fourth of July fair, they had a long day ahead of them.

Beverly and Ella had dropped over to the pharmacy to pick up Beverly’s aunt’s prescriptions earlier, around noon before they met with the rest of the losers. Keene’s Pharamacy was the only other thing open on the Fourth of July.

“Here for the prescriptions, ladies?” Mr. Keene had asked

They nodded, then he had disappeared in the corner

“You know girls,” Greta spins the chair facing the two of them, “I’m surprised you allow yourselves to hang around with those other boys. They will take advantage of the two of you, but you don’t seem to care, too bad. Beaverly and Ellie -”

“Don’t. Call me that.” Ella glares, emotionless

“Aww, you are just like Eddie.” Greta chuckles, “All timid and everything. I feel sorry your mom turned you guys into losers. Makes me so sad.”

Beverly shook her head in disbelief

“Bet you guys, Beaverly and Ellie, are having lesbian sex every night. Just saying.” Greta says with a smirk

While El fumes silently and sighs in disbelief, Bev sighs and takes a deep breath, neither of them wanted to mess with Greta in any way. Besides, they knew they wouldn’t have to see her scary dirty looks in high school as much, anyway.

Instead two of them walked slowly away, browsing random items while ignoring her lude comments.

“Mrs. Marsh?” Mr. Keene calls out

“Thank you.” Beverly said with a smile

When they walked out, they glanced over to find Greta looking up at them, while mouthing “Later, losers.”

“S-S-So g-g-guys, are an-n-ny of you n-n-nervous for h-h-high s-school?” Bill had asked the group, while they were all sitting on the grass, which was onlooking the Derry town fair.

“Not if we all stick together.” said Stan, “I’m just glad I passed grade 9 with an 92 average. My father was really proud.”

“I passed with 54 in history. PE was good, rest were 50′s and 60′s.” said Richie, “Got kicked out of almost every class every week.”

“Well Richie, maybe if you paid attention in class and didn’t draw dicks on the board you could’ve done a whole lot better.” said Eddie

“Y-Y-Yeah R-R-Richie, that’s n-n-not g-good. Get B-B-B-Ben to h-h-help you in h-h-high school w-w-with the h-history.” Billy advised

“Do you know if you’re coming to Derry High with us?” Stan looked over at Mike (Hanlon)

“I don’t know, I’m hoping next year for grade 11, I still haven’t asked my grandfather.”

Eddie’s mind wanders off, his mind zoning out of the conversations between them, glancing off and watching others at the fair.

He looks over at the trees, and watches as the leaves gust in the summer breeze

Eddie notices something that stands out; a shadow in the woods standing still, and not moving. Almost as if he/she was watching people.

But for some reason Eddie felt as if It was watching them. But, he tried to ignore whoever was in there. However, that feeling was just too intense to ignore for long.

“Eddie…”

Now he thought his mind was playing tricks on him, and shook his head, but couldn’t help but glance over.

This time Eddie had seen something over the man’s head, while It or whoever It was waved at him. No one else at the fair seemed to notice, even though he was now in plain sight.

Eddie had jumped and let out a yelp, making Stan and Bill jump.

“Uh…guys…” Eddie stammered

“W-W-What’s w-w-wrong E-Eddie?” Bill asked, concerned

The rest of the group had looked over at him

“Look over there! In the woods, can’t you see -”

His jaw had dropped when he saw the man, or whoever It was was no longer there

They had all had given Eddie a confused look, looking in the same direction, also not seeing anything

“What the fuck are you talking about, Eds?” Richie came over

“Nevermind, nothing. And don’t call me Eds.”

“Seriously Eddie Spaghetti, are you okay?” Richie patted Eddie on the back

“You look like you had seen a ghost.” said Stan

“Probably did.” Ella chuckled, Beverly laughing quietly at what she said

“Shut up, El.” Eddie said, annoyed

“Y-Y-You k-know, we’re all a b-bit n-n-nervous, but I g-g-guess that’s why w-we’re the l-l-losers.” said Bill

The gang hand nodded in agreement

“Speaking of which, this reminds me of two years ago, when our group of me, Bill, Richie, and Stan gotten bigger. We had all gotten together and even told each other what we were afraid of. I guess now that we’re all back together, and my sister joining us, we should tell each other that stuff again.” said Eddie

Bill nodded, and agreed to speak first

“I h-have the f-f-fear of d-d-dead G-Georgie.” he looked down, “M-M-Mike, r-remember that n-n-night you s-stayed over I h-h-heard G-Georgie even though he w-was….fast asleep.”

“Yeah, that was weird. I didn’t hear anything though. I’m still afraid of fire. And I still get scary memories from that fire me and my parents were in.” Mike sighed

“That painting in my father’s office…” said Stan, “I asked him to take it down, it was just too much. Don’t want to talk about that fucked up painting. But I guess I also have this fear of drowning.”

“Diseases, but you all knew that.” Eddie scratched his head

“Luckily I’m living a much better life, I don’t have to come home in fear of seeing my father,” said Beverly, “But blood…I just can’t stand it. Or the sight of it.”

“Clowns. Clowns are scary.” Ella muttered, “And spiders. Can’t stand either one.”

“Oh my god, I hate clowns too!” said Richie, “And werewolves. They’re scary.”

“I know this sounds silly, but mummies are terrifying. Sometimes I see my dead father. I saw something in October, I didn’t tell you guys, because I thought you were going to think I was crazy,” Ben huffed, “But I saw this guy, this thing. It called my name and waved when I was in the library. Then it was gone. It had something over It’s head and was wearing a suit.”

To Ben’s surprise, no one laughed about it, not even Richie. Their expressions were a lot different.

Eddie was now getting another asthma attack, while Richie and Stan comforted him for a few seconds

“That’s what I just saw.” Eddie said after catching his breath, “Just then.”

That’s when the rest of the boys in the group exchanged weird expressions, they each had seen something weird in the past ten months or so.

Well, all six of them had exchanged looks. The only ones who hadn’t were Beverly and Ella.

“Yeah, we didn’t see anything. Not yet at least.” said Beverly

“Shit. You guys are girls. You’re the only ones who hadn’t seen anything.” Stan gulped

“Fucking hell, the one time I wish I was a god be damned girl!” Richie groaned, breaking the scared vibe

It was now mid July, and Johnathan had invited Nancy to come over to his house that night, since Joyce and Will would be gone for a few days into town, spending time together.

Johnathan and Will got along well with their mom, and the three of them were extremely close, though Johnathan was starting to want to do some stuff on his own, since he was the oldest.

He had sat down and thought about his brother Will. Johnathan didn’t want anything bad to happen to him, and though Will’s seizures haven’t been that had recently, it still makes Johnathan and Joyce worried about him.

A knock could be heard at the door, interrupting his thoughts

They had greeted each other, and hugged

Nancy sat down on the couch, huffing; the ‘I’m so glad to be here’ type of huffing.

“You good, Nance?” Johnathan had asked

“Yeah, I’m so glad we’re spending a few nights with each other, and I don’t have annoying ass twin brothers annoying the hell out of me. We are both brother free this weekend.” Nancy smirked

“Yeah…” Johnathan said while looking down

“You alright Johnathan?”

“Yeah. I’m just…worried about Will.” he sighed, “I know I shouldn’t be, but I am.”

“How is Will anyways?” Nancy asked, “He seems to say the least out of Mike’s friends, besides Eleven.”

“He’s good, he’s had seizures, but nothing serious in a long while.”

“That’s good, yeah I wouldn’t worry about it too much.” Nancy convinced

They had grabbed some food from the kitchen, and even ordered a pizza for the night.

By the time the clock had hit 8:30 pm, they were already cuddled under a blanket on the couch, while watching Footloose. Johnathan wasn’t into those types of movies, but knew Nancy was.

During the ending credits, the pair of them performed a steamy makeout session on the couch, laying under the blanket with their clothes slowly falling off.

“Do you know what time it is?” Nancy giggled

He looked up at her

“12 am?” he smirked

“Mhmm.”

“I’m always glad when it’s the two of us.” said Johnathan

“Oh yeah, do you know what Steve and Emma are doing tonight?” Nancy asked

“Definetley not together like we are, that part I know.” Johnathan chuckled, while sitting up

“I haven’t even told Ems this, but I think Steve is after her.” said Nancy

“Well yeah, it’s quite obvious.”

“She does not appear to feel the same way,” said Nancy, “Well, not yet at least.”

“Seriously what is it with Steve?” Johnathan snickered

“You’re a guy yourself, you should know what goes on in that brain of his.”

“Well Emma either doesn’t feel the same way or can’t tell, and the way Steve looks and tone around her makes it quite obvious.” Johnathan responded

“Does he not relaize that she is Eleven’s sister? Aka 007?” said Nancy

“I think that’s what he’s going for.” said Johnathan, “If you know what I mean, the quiet and mysterious type.”

It was a foggy afternoon in Hawkins, on July 26th

Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Will had gotten together in the Wheeler-Tozier basement to play a few games, including one of Dungeons and Dragons.

They planned to go outside after dinner

“You know, I kinda like that it’s just us guys hanging out.” said Dustin

As they were in the middle of Snakes and Ladders, Richie had somehow snuck downstairs and scared the four of them with one of his creepy masks, and sneaking up yelling “BOO”

“Are you fucking serious right now?” Mike said, annoyed, “You are such an idiot, go back upstairs! You’re not in our group.”

“Why don’t you make me?” Richie smirked

Mike rolled his eyes, and was about to get up and push him back upstairs, but then Will did something unusual

“Go. The fuck. Away from us.” Will demanded

They had all looked at Will, whose expression was angry, and he doesn’t normally respond like that

Richie pushed back up his glasses

“Yeah, sure. Fine I guess.” he said as he made his way back upstairs

However, Will’s expression was still emotionless

“Will, you okay?” asked Mike, “Don’t mind Richie, he’s an idiot.”

Will nodded, slowly, still with the same expression on his face.

“Honestly Will, is everything okay? You never act that way.”

“I’m fine.” Will smirked in a creepy way, “Can we go outside after this game? I feel really hot.”

While Mike still had his hand on Will’s, Dustin and Lucas had given each other concerned looks

They both turned back around to look at Will and Mike, and brushed it off

“Oh yeah, that reminds me, when are we meeting up with the rest of the losers?” Dustin said, changing the subject

“Uh, I don’t know,” said Mike, “We’ve all met up two or three times this month, but maybe soon. Eddie comes up here frequently, and so do Bill and Stan sometimes. I get to see them a bit more because I have an annoying as hell twin.”

“Sometimes me and Max hang out with Ben, Bev, Ella, and Stan. When we get the chance.” said Lucas, “All six of us went bird-watching in the forest behind Stan’s house last week, it was really fun. More fun than I thought, actually. Doesn’t always have to be 14 of us, because each of us will want to do different things sometimes.”

“Yeah, that’s true.” Mike agreed

“You telling Rich to not hang out with us doesn’t stop me from seeing him and Eds every week or two.” said Dustin, “Just saying.”

Mike gives Dustin that ‘Really Dustin?’ look, but doesn’t care either, since the strange kids and losers were all basically a family.

The four of them had decided to take a ride on their bikes through the forest, wandering anywhere.

Will was on the back on Mike’s bicycle, while Dustin and Lucas were riding right next to each other, following Mike

They found an opening in the woods, where they began to built a fort out of loose branches and sticks.

They had done this for about 35 minutes, the occasional giggle coming out of Will, but they didn’t think much of it.

After finally settling in their fort, they talked about everything and anything.

“I bet it’s weird that a bunch of us 14 and 15 year olds are out here in the woods doing this, but what the hell, it’s fun.” says Mike

“Your birthday was last month.” said Lucas

“Yeah, in the middle of studying for exams.” Mike rolls his eyes

“Well I have an early one, 3rd of January,” says Lucas, “So I’m technically the oldest in the group. As Dustin is the youngest.”

“So what mine’s in October, big whoop. Will looks younger than us, but really he’s second oldest.” Dustin looked over at Will, who wasn’t looking at the group

“I can’t believe we have over a month before we start high school,” says Mike, “Better make the best of it, some of us will probably be working next summer. Our mom wants me and Richie to find something next summer, in order for us to ‘build character’, so I guess -“

“G-Guys?” Will stammers, looking off into the woods

“Yeah, what’s wrong, Will? Everything okay?” Mike asks

Will did not respond, but pointed in the woods.

“What is he pointing at?” Lucas wondered

“Clown.” Will chuckled, “Over there.”

Mike, Lucas, and Dustin were now slightly worried, although none of them felt like they were being watched, until now.

“I’m sure it was just your imagination,” Mike said nervously, while patting Will on the back

Will shook his head

Mike remembered the clown he saw in the backyard on April Fool’s Day, when Richie had seen something else. He was hoping It wasn’t the same thing. As a matter of fact, remembered that Richie and the rest of Bill’s group had defeated the so called “clown” that was murdering people in the Derry area who summers ago. Two summers ago. Almost two years since Mike and the rest of his friends and defeated the Mind Flayer. 1984 was a weird year, first Richie and his group got rid of clown, then Mike and his group had defeated the mind flayer. Mike couldn’t believe it was almost two years ago already.

Now Will was acting strange, and giggling creepily rather than fearing. Well, he was for a few seconds, but acted like a completely different person, almost as if he was under possession.

Then, he had come out of it, and the rest of them didn’t know what to do next.

“W-What happened?” said Will

“I don’t know,” said Mike, “But we should probably head back, it’s getting late anyways. I’ll bring you back home?”

“Sure.”

Dustin and Lucas didn’t even question or complain, they were getting chills up their spines and wanted to head home too.
