CARRY ON
"What the fuck are those stains?"

"YOU CAN ALL SUCK ON my fucking dick!" Riley yelled at his friends as he stood on the back of Eddie's bike, now on their way to Eddie's trailer.

Unfortunately for the Blood boy, Eddie had beaten him to the bike which meant Riley had to suffer being on the back whilst Eddie got to sit comfortably.

From beneath him, he could hear the sound of Eddie chuckling at his comment causing his head to look down at the boy who had a smirk on his face.

"I don't know why you're laughing, you'd gladly suck on my dick anyways." The boy rolled his eyes at Eddie who had yet to drop his smirk.

"Way to call me out, boyfriend." Eddie grinned, the word boyfriend made Riley's heart flutter slightly, but he quickly dismissed the feeling as he responded to the boy.

"Not really a call out when everyone here knows you would do it. Not that I'm complaining, though." It was Riley's turn to smirk as Eddie lifted his gaze from the road in front of them up to the boy who was slightly hovering above.

Riley quickly directed Eddie's eyes back to the road as he used his hand to turn his head forwards like it was previously. "Eyes on the road, Munson. Eyes on the fucking road."

—

It didn't take long for the group to approach the trailer park, their bikes quickly heading in the direction of Eddie's trailer.

"Right here." Eddie pointed as they now turned the corner so they were face to face with the trailer.

Riley quickly jumped off the bike which allowed Eddie to now get off and throw it onto the ground. Everyone else copied and now stood in front of the trailer.

"That's gotta be a Guinness World Record. Most miles travelled interdimensionally." Robin grinned as she walked backwards to the door of the trailer.

"Moving one centre meter would already make a Guinness World Record." Riley told the girl as Steve began coughing.

"Inhaled a bunch of that crap. It's stuck in my throat." Steve coughed once more as he pulled out a flashlight and followed after the others.

"That's fucking tragic." Riley sarcastically muttered as Eddie now opened the door which revealed a much viney version of his trailer.

"Forget Nancy's house, you're place needs a maid much more than hers." Riley chuckled as he looked at the viney mess that covered almost everywhere.

Robin slightly nudged the boy making him nudge her back before realising they were all staring at something above them.

Following their gazes, he noticed a bright red gate that looked identical to the one he had seen in the lake.

"Goddamn." Steve spoke, as Riley nodded his head. "You can say that again."

"Goddamn." Steve repeated making Riley rip his gaze away from the gate and at the boy. "That wasn't literal, dumbass."

Steve shrugged his shoulders at the boy before turning off the flashlight and lowering it to his side as the gate itself provided enough light.

"This is where Chrissy died. Like, right where she died." Eddie stated which made Riley gently grab his hand and squeeze it gently.

"I think there's something in there." Robin spoke as she looked intently at the bright redness of a gate.

In the centre of the gate, it started lowering slightly making Riley knit his eyebrows together as he moved slightly forwards towards it.

"What the hell is that?" Eddie questioned as moved Riley back away from it.

The part which had gone out went back in, almost like it was breathing. All of a sudden, the gate ripped open which alarmed the entire group.

"Jesus fucking Christ!" Riley screamed as he grabbed Eddie and pulled him away from the portal, although his scream was hardly heard as everyone else was screaming.

Part of the gate fell to the ground causing a huge sloppy mess to pile up on the floor. Riley's face crinkled in disgust as he looked at the mess the gate had made.

A stick was poking through the portal which confused the group even more as they all looked at each other, hoping someone had an answer to what was happening.

The stick soon disappeared and the only sound left was the heavy breathing of the group who didn't dare remove their eyes from the gate.

Riley moved towards the gate which made him tilt his head back so he could properly see what
was inside.

His friends followed close behind but Steve was the one who saw what was inside first. "No way."

Looking into the gate, they saw Dustin, Erica, Max and Lucas staring straight back at them making Dustin chuckle.

The younger friends waved at them all with grins. "Hi there." Dustin smiled.

"You guys were so dramatic, it's only them, there was no need to be screaming." Riley scoffed at his friends making Robin cross her arms over her chest.

"You were the one screaming like a girl." Robin sassed back which caused Riley to roll his eyes, despite the fact he knew she was right.

"So were you." Riley told the girl making her now furrow her brows at him. "Maybe because I am a girl?"

The Blood boy stared at Robin knowing she was completely right but didn't say that because he didn't want her to know that. "Shut up."

"Hi." The older group of friends now greeted them, making everyone chuckle and smile at the same time.

"Holy shit, this is trippy." Robin spoke as she looked up at her friends who were doing the exact same thing to look at them.

"Bada-bada-boom!" Dustin yelled with a huge grin.

—

Dustin had figured out a way to let his friends back through the gate. His plan required using Eddie's mattress which was what Max and Lucas were busy getting.

It took a few minutes but Lucas and Max had finally appeared with the mattress and placed it on the floor directly under the gate.

Riley furrowed his brows at the mattress as he noticed multiple stains on it which slightly alarmed him.

He slowly turned his head to look at Eddie who was already looking at him with a pleading look to not bring them up.

"What the fuck are those stains?"

Eddie turned his head back to the mattress, looking at all the different stains that covered it before turning back to Riley.

"Those stains, are, uh..." Eddie began speaking, as Robin now glanced wearily at the boy who turned his eyes back to the mattress.

"I dunno what those stains are." Eddie told his friends as Robin continued to side-glance at the boy.

"Mmmm." She said before turning her eyes back to the mattress. "That's unfortunate. But it's more unfortunate for me because I know. And I know who they came from." Riley muttered in disgust before inhaling heavily.

"What do you mean you know who?" Eddie questioned the boy who sighed before looking at him. "I heard."

"Okay, can we please not talk about this? Especially not in front of children." Robin said as she pointed to Lucas and Max as well as Dustin and Erica who had now joined them.

"Eh, they're old enough. I mean, did you see the way Mike and El were kissing each other? They were having full make-outs, good lord." Riley's eyes widened as he thought about all the times he had accidentally seen the two kissing.

Dustin now stood on the mattress, holding a duvet that he and Erica had put knots in.

"Not sure how these physics work. But, uh...here goes nothing." Dustin now threw the duvet up at them which allowed it to fall through the gate and let it dangle down in front of them as half of it was still on the other side.

"There we go." Dustin smiled. "And if my theory is correct." He spoke before letting go of it on his side only for it to stay in the same position.

"All right, pull on it! See if it holds!" Dustin yelled at them as Robin looked at her friends before pulling it down, however, it didn't move from its spot.

"This is the craziest shit I've ever seen in my life. And I've seen some crazy shit." Erica chuckled as did everyone else as they looked at each other.

Robin moved forwards once again and grabbed a hold of the handmade rope. "Guess I'm the guinea pig."

The Buckley woman grunted as she used her strength to pull her body up towards the gate. She continued to climb up as their friends on the other side quickly moved off the mattress.

It didn't take long until the girl had managed to climb her way to the top before quickly falling down onto the mattress which sat on the other side.

"That was fun." She smiled as she sat herself up and quickly got off the mattress ready for the next person.

Everyone turned to look at Eddie who shrugged his shoulders and stepped forwards towards the rope. "Alright, guess I'll go."

Riley watched as the boy pulled himself up and quickly managed to get through onto the other side and landed with a thud before sitting up quickly.

"That was fun."

Once again, Nancy and Steve looked at Riley who looked at them before stepping forwards and grabbing the fabric.

"I better not get a back injury from this." Riley mumbled before allowing all of his strength to pick himself up off the ground.

Riley made it to the top before everything now turned upside down making him lose his grip and fall onto the mattress with a small grunt.

"That was not fucking fun, what are you talking about? I think I got a concussion." Riley groaned as he rubbed his head before Eddie quickly stepped forwards and helped the boy off the mattress.

There were only Steve and Nancy left and Nancy slowly walked forwards. "See you on the other side." Steve chuckled.

"On the other side." She smiled before she instantly stopped walking because Vecna had put her into a trance.
