3th POV || June 18th, 1988

Mike was pacing outside his garage waiting for Will and El to get there
And soon enough that old beat up red pickup truck pulled into the driveway
Mike ran over as Will parked by Mike's car

Will and El stepped out

"Hey guys.." Mike said crossing his arms El smiled and waved

"Hi Mike." El said hugging him
Mike smiled softly hugging back then letting go

"Hey man." Mike said going to hug Will who just stepped past him

"Come on, we gotta call Lucas and Dustin, now, Michael." Will said Mike nodded dropping his arms and following him

They went downstairs
Mike radioed Lucas
Will called Dustin

The two boys sat together
El was upstairs getting drinks for them
Will said he would but El ran upstairs to force the two to talk
Will would be dying her favorite white pants red when they got home as payback
If they ever did get home..

"So.. how are you?" Mike asked Will shrugged

"Fine.." Will whispered
They hadn't talked in so long it was weird being around each other again

"How's Joyce? And Jim?"

"They're fine too.. Mom works as a receptionist at a doctor's office now.. Hop got a job at a police station as an officer again.." Will explained Mike nodded

"Do you still draw?"

"Yeah a lot actually.. I have so many notebooks.." Will whispered with a chuckle Mike smiled softly and looked down at his hands Will laid his head against his shoulder "what have you been doing?"

"Um.. mostly writing and watching movies.. reading some Stephen King too.. and learning songs on guitar.." Mike said Will smiled softly
Mike was always a good story teller when they played DnD but he had never written to Will's knowledge though it made sense

"What do you write about?"

"Just silly stories.." Mike whispered shaking his head "mostly just my thoughts I guess.. they're not that interesting, or good.."  Will smiled softly watching him and listening to him

"I'm sure they're great.. their your thoughts.."

"They're dark as hell, but sure.." Mike said with a light laugh "anyways, um.." Will could tell he wanted to talk about something else

"What's your favorite movie?"

"Oh! Um probably.. probably Stand By Me.. what about you?"

"Probably still Jaws.. I do like The Shining though." Will said with a smile Mike laughed softly

"You've always loved Jaws." Mike said Will laughed softly

El came down with three cans of pop
She gave Mike his Coke and Will his Seven Up and she sat across from them on the table with her own Coke

"Will can you open it? I can't get it.." El said Will nodded taking it from her and opening it handing it back

Soon after Dustin, Lucas and Max filled the basement

"Okay, what the hell is it now?" Dustin asked sitting next to El "hey El."

"Hi"

"Henry is back.."

"Shit." Lucas said

"Vecna not Henry."

"He's just a boy-"
