TILL FOREVER FALLS APART — ASHE

But if shit hits the fan, we're not alone.
'Cause you've got me and you know
that I got you and I know.





THE NEXT MORNING,
the gang were on the way
to Rick's house to update
Eddie on all the shit that
has happened since they
saw him last.

Needless to say, Sadie
was very excited.

"Not to be a wimp, but
can I maybe sit in the
car for this?" Robin
said from the passenger
seat. "'Cause this is totally
and royally suck."

"It'll be fine." Nancy
said to the girl.

"I just can't stand to
see those dull eyes of
Eddie's break again. I
really, really can't."

"At least he can drink
himself into feeling better."
Steve held up the beers, him
and Sadie in the trunk seat.

"That's what my mom does."
Max put in.

"That's what I do 90% of
the time." Sadie said, blowing
a bubble out of her gum.

"Oh..." Lucas looked to
the two girls.

"Why don't we just give
it a trial? Like, 'Hey, Eddie.
Uh, good news first this time.
We got you some Dustin-approved
junk food and that six-pack you
requested. Oh yeah, and we found
Vecna. Only the bad news is
that he's in that other, darker,
much scarier dimension that we
told you about, and the gate's closed,
so we have no way of getting to him.
And, like, he's entirely shut off to us,
so basically you're screwed. And, no,
I know you were already screwed, but
but now you're doubly, triply, screwed.'"
She ranted.

"Wait, wait, wait. Maybe we don't
put it like that." Lucas suggested.

"'We're one step closer to
finding Vecna.' That's what
we'll say. That's what's important."
Nancy decided.

"See, Robin? Positive spin
can make all the difference."
Steve joked.

"You're such a dingus."
Sadie laughed.

"Oh, shit." Nancy whispered,
as they pulled up to Rick's,
everyone leaning up to see
a bunch of cops, and people.

"No... You.. you don't think
he got caught, do you?" Sadie
began breathing heavy with nerves.
