Richie enter his room at inn wasted no time getting bed, trying to sleep after a long drive. He couldn't believe he was back in Derry after all that has happened but as least there was not demonic clown after him. But Richie is still guilty of leaving Eddie behind in the well house his body and soul stuck for all eternity in that place. Maybe after some rest and hope that Richie would way to give Eddie peace at least in the afterlife. Richie laid in the bed closed his eyes and started to doze off to sleep. As Richie slept thinking that he would be rid of the young Stan haunting me he was wrong. As the young Stan haunted his dreams once more as Richie dreamt the following;
     Richie was at the kissing bridge it was foggy Richie could not see much anything until he saw the young Stan coming out the fog he point to his right as the fog lifted to seeing the bridge Stan tells
"The bridge will lift out of the fog, for there is something waiting for you need to see."
Then Stan pushes him and Eddie wakes up in a cold sweet not sure if he would ever go back to sleep.

    At other side of the town of Derry. Eddie Kraspbrack hated to run out on the help of Buck and Diaz. But he felt that he need to get the kissing bridge.  His mind felt like a haze he could not remember where the kissing bridge was during the morning dark. Eddie hoped soon that someone would find him help find his way or the sun would rise soon to light his way to the kissing bridge.

     Eddie was felt as if was walking in circles but he found hope in a lady jogger running. He yelled hoping to get stop to ask direction but she ran right pasted him. Trying to shake off this feeling he had about himself standing in disbelief that he was being ignore. Eddie was considering of walking back to the inn  and get help from buck and Diaz. Just as Eddie was about to turn around walk back to Inn when the ghost of young Stan popped in front of him. It scared Eddie he fell to the ground, Stan, standing in front holds out his hand telling him,
"Looks like you need help my friend."
Eddie says nothing as Stan helps him up his feet. As Eddie wipes off the dirt he asks Stan,
"Do you remember the kissing bridge?"
"Yes, you are not that far, happy to walk with you there just the sun starts to rise."

       Back at the inn, For about 20 seconds of Buck and Diaz's first kiss, Buck felt all his dreams coming true their life together with Christopher. Buck loves Diaz and Christopher unconditional and would anything for them he proved that at when tsunami hit LA all that matter was them getting back to them saving himself in the process. Buck felt the love from Diaz side of the kiss. Diaz he did felt the love no man ever kissed man no woman had ever kissed since since Lena then everything he lost and loved the pain the fear still haunted him.

     After 20 seconds so did the bliss of hope and love faded into doubt and fear for Diaz. Diaz pull Buck slowly away from took deep breathes as he sat on his bed. Buck  still smiling wanted to know why he pulled away, he slowly made his way towards him, Diaz puts his hand and arm out in front of him urging Buck,
"Buck, pal, please don't a lot is going through my mind right now I need space."
Buck didn't understand Diaz, Buck felt that Diaz kissed him now his pushing him away,
Buck snaps "Pal, space, a lot going through my mind. I kiss you, you kiss me back now you are pushing me away, why?"
"Why?" Diaz stood up and yelled, "Just realizing your pal, is gay just realizing that I..."
Buck walking towards him placing his on Diaz's chest where his heart was and then told him,
"You realized what, that you might feeling the same way I feel about you, that I..."
Diaz pushes Buck's hand away from his chest and screams,
"Buck, stop, I need time to think."
Buck snapped, "Fine think, alone for all I care, after all we been through these past couples of months, I realize that time is short and precious and you need to know that you and Christopher are the best thing that has happened to me."
Buck thinking this would make Diaz see one last time, as goes towards pulls Diaz into another kiss but it last as long as the kiss for the doubt and confusion in Diaz's mind still plauge him. Diaz pushes Buck on the floor. Diaz seeing the heartbroken Buck on the floor, Diaz realizing maybe he was too mean to friend who just being honest with him. Diaz feeling bad and guilty for what was being done, he try to get Buck up by holding out his hand and telling him,

"I am sorry, pal, here let me help you up."
Buck pushes his offer to help away. He got up and walk to the door and Diaz asked,
"Where you going, Buck."
"To give you time to think. When you finally realize how felt and who want to be with. Don't expect me to be here when you open your eyes and wake up."
Buck open the door slammed the door as he walked out, leaving Diaz alone knowing that he might have lost his and Christopher's best friend.

       At the different part of the inn, Richie was trying to sleep but the room next him was shouting and making a lot of noise.  But when Richie heard the door slam, he snapped got out bed when open the door peaked his head out and saw guy standing in the hallway. Richie notices that this guy seems lost and Richie snaps back to reality by asking him,
"Do you mind keeping it down, a restless man is trying to sleep"
Buck apologizes "sorry, for waking you man, just thought the person I like maybe even doesn't feel the same having trouble dealing with that"
Now feeling bad after the dream he just had about Eddie he could understand how he felt for the guy, so he gave him advice
"Maybe your friend is just confused give him time, take a walk and if he cares I am sure he find you."
Buck smirks, "Thanks sorry me forgot to Introduce myself Evan Buckley but friends call me Buck"
They shook hands as Richie introduces himself
"Richie Tozier, famous comedian of New York"
"Oh really I live in LA, so haven't see your work" Buck admit after letting go of Richie's hand as Richie  gives a tiny taste of his comedy
"LA that explains the beach bod you have what you do for living, Buck?"
Buck reply "Firefighter"
"Wow nice is your "friend" a firefighter too" Richie asked hoping for a yes to get good punch line in
"Yes"
Richie's mind was thrilled, as he did the punch line "So you guys are like chuck and Larry but with the benefits"
Buck didn't laugh at first but once he remember the movie he laughed his head off and he commented Richie
"Nice one Rich, I just might have take another vacation sometime and see you preform"
"Thanks, will save you and your friends some seats it could make a good first date."
Buck sighed look at his door thinking about Diaz wanting to burst in and demand that they give each other a shot as a couple. But thinking but Diaz and Richie what they told they were right he need space maybe it was good to look for Eddie instead even though he wanted a drink that is not what he needed.

Buck looked at Richie told him

"Do you need help finding it not being local around here."
"I got gps I am sure I will find a bridge with of bunch initial cravings

"A local pal, told us about it sounds like good place to help think of who's important in your life."
"Yeah it does" Richie sighed silently, thinking of Eddie he Buck good luck wishes and as Buck went  on he close the door and went back to bed hoping to sleep and not be plagued by dreams
