14. The Dance

November 26, 1984

Karen Wheeler at the moment was obsessing over Richie and Robin as she took pictures of them ready for their school dance.

"Auntie look we really need to get going. We're going to be late." Richie explains as another flash came from the camera.

"Come on just one more! Here I want a group photo." Jonathan and Nancy both groaning as they joined Richie and Robin by the stairs. They all linked arms, spreading their mouths wide, and smiled. Karen taking three quick photos. They looked at Karen pleading as she was ready to take another picture.

"Alright, alright get out of here. Go and have fun." They all quickly started to run out of the house before she changed her mind. "Just not too much fun." She sighed as the teenagers were already in the car, driving away.

As the teenagers walked towards the school they could hear the music playing loudly in the gym, bring a smile to Richie's face. As the group walked down the halls Richie began to realize it was the beginning of Come On Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners.

(play song)

Richie began to jump on the balls of his feet. "Oh shit!" He quickly grabbed Robin by the wrist and began to run into the gym. "Come on Robin."

"I'm coming, you are fucking dragging me, idiot."

Richie giggled slightly. "Sorry birdy." He explained just as he was in the middle of the dance floor, his hand still gripped on Robin's wrist. "Made it just in time." He smiled mischievously, he let go of her wrist as he began to roll his hips back and forth. He raised his arms slightly and began to move them, making them in sync with his hips movement.

Robin began to move back being uncomfortable surrounded by sweaty and horny high schoolers. Richie noticed this, so the only logical thing was to begin to grab Robin and swing her and him around.

"Jesus Richie."

"What? Tonight's just us, don't fucking worry about these dicks here." Robin sigh but began to sway slightly with Richie on the dance floor. "And hey maybe all of this dancing could make you discover a new kink you got. You never know with all these horny asses here, you could get some good lesbian action. Maybe this could be your last night as a virgin."

The blond raised her eyebrows. "Who says I'm a virgin? What if I banged with one of the teachers?"

Richie began to burst out laughing. "Please I know you're a virgin unless you fucking with my cousin or for some odd fucking reason your banging with some dick."

She scrunched her face together, her lips making a straight line. "Touché." The two friends began to laugh together as they began to do crazy movements together.

As they moved their feet across the dance floor Richie moved backward too much and bumped his shoulder against someone. "Oh fuc." He paused as turned slightly, being met with Eddie's face. "Eds?"

But the moment didn't last long Eddie's face began to form lines through his eyes creating slight points, his nose and mouth turning slightly red. 

"Hiya Richie. Want a balloon?" Richie slowly backed up. "Did you miss me?" Richie began to shake his head, repeating that it isn't real, in his head.

"Sorry man." Richie's eyes widen as It disappeared, and instead, a normal guy stood in front of him, not a demonic clown.

"Richie, you okay? You look like you saw a ghost."

"I'm fine, just thought I saw someone. Here come on let's keep dancing." Robin looked at him slightly confused as he started to dance along to the song again, completely ignoring Robins concerned looks.

Karen was watching the cable channel as the telephone began to ring.

"Ted can you get that." Karen shouted to her husband. Who just finished his dinner. She let out a relieved sigh as she began to hear Ted talk to whoever was on the other line. But that enjoyment didn't last long as he walked back towards Karen. "Everything alright?"

"Well, that was Mrs. Martinez."

"And?"

"The court is changing Richard's trial date."

"When?"

Ted sighed, indicating the news wasn't great. "They moved it to next week."
