NO ONE'S POV:

(Nancy & Steve are in a study room together.)

Nancy: I can't keep doing this.

Steve: Doing what?

Nancy: Pretending like everything's okay.

Steve: What are you talking about?

Nancy: Barbara. It's like everyone forgot. It's like nobody cares. Except her parents. And now they're selling their house.

Steve: Nance--

Nancy: And they're going to spend the rest of their lives looking for her.

Steve: I know.

Nancy: It's destroying them.

Steve: I know. Okay? I get it. But listen, there's nothing we can do about it.

Nancy: Yeah, we could tell them the truth.

Steve: Well, you know that we can't do that.

Nancy: We don't have to tell them everything.

Steve: This isn't some game, Nance. If they found out that we told any...

(He closes the blinds on the window.)

Steve: They could put us in jail. Okay? Or worse, they could destroy our families. They could do anything they want. Okay? Just think about what you're saying. Hey...Hey, hey...Hey, it's...[sighs] It's hard, but let's...let's just go to Tina's stupid party...wear our stupid costumes that we've been working on for a stupid amount of time, and just pretend like we're like stupid teenagers, okay? Can we just do that, just for tonight?

Nancy: Okay.

Steve: Come here.

(They hug. Cut to the party at Tina's where we see Y/N looking for Steve & Nancy.)

(Y/N): Ugh, I should've just stayed home.

(He adjusts the crown on his head.)

(Y/N): I think I'll just stand in a corner or something?

(As he makes his way to a corner, he's called out by someone.)

Steve: (Y/N)?

(He turns to see Steve & Nancy.)

(Y/N): *smiles*

(He walks up to them.)

Steve: Holy shit. I can't believe you actually showed up.

(Y/N): Thought I'd stay in my cave, huh?

Steve: Pretty much.

(Y/N): Ha. Hey, Nancy.

Nancy: Hello, (Y/N). So, you're a prince?

(Y/N): Yes, ma'am.

(He does a twirl while lifting his cape.)

(Y/N): Took some digging but this is my royal attire from back home.

Steve: Even the crown is real?

(Y/N): Indeed.

Steve: Nice, man.

(Y/N): Thanks. To be honest, I kinda feel like a jackass.

Steve: Well...you're not wearing the costume.

Nancy: You look nice, (Y/N).

(Y/N): You guys are great.

(Billy & Tommy walk up to them.)

Tommy: We got ourselves a new Keg King, Harrington.

Tommy: We got ourselves a new Keg King, Harrington
