Ten minutes after Mike joined the rest of the party in the basement, the Losers arrived.
"Girl, you're about to flip the hell out." Max said as soon as El opened the door. El looked at her, confused.
"Um, okay. Come on in everyone! I'm glad you guys are here!" She said, stepping away from the door to let them in. They smiled at her as they walked passed her, and Mike-no, Richie, had the biggest grin on his face. El's jaw dropped when she saw him. Max and Bev giggled.
"Um...Richie?" She asked.
"Yes, tis I, Richie Tozier." He grabbed her hand and kissed it. Eddie thumped him on the back of the head.
"You're creeping her out, idiot. Hi, I'm Eddie." He held a hand out to her. She smiled and shook his hand. "It's nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you guys too." She smiled at everyone as they introduced themselves to her.
"Where's the boys?" Max asked.
"In the basement. Hang on, I'll call them up. You guys just make yourselves at home." She gave them a smile and walked down the hall.
"Michael! Lucas! Dustin! William!" The Losers heard El yell at the top of her lungs, and then heard two very annoyed voices whine,
"Don't call me my full name!"
"That's creepy as shit don't do that." Dustin said, walking down the hall, the others following him. El was looking at Mike weird, but he didn't pay any attention to it. Dustin caught sight of Richie and stopped right then and there. "What the fu-Mike, you were just," he turned to look at Mike and his eyes widened.
"Would you move, asshat." Lucas said, pushing him. The Losers were sitting on the two couches in the living room, but Richie was being nosy and looking at pictures on the wall.
"Holy shit." Mike H said, looking back and forth between Richie and Mike. Richie turned around, wondering what he was talking about. Richie was always clueless, so he really had no idea.
"What the fuck." The look alike's said in unison. Richie walked over to Mike hesitantly, and poked his cheek.
"What the hell?" Mike swatted him away. "Why do you have my face?"
"Why do you have my face?" Richie retorted.
"I think I'm gonna pass out." Stanley whispered to Ben, who snorted.
"Dude I need a minute." Lucas said and walked off with a laughing Max following him.
"Richie, I'm gonna need you to start wearing your glasses again, please and thank you." Bill told him. Richie looked at him.
"I think the fuck not. I look like an alien with them."
"I don't care."
"Um, anyways." Mike said, looking away from Richie, "Uh, I'm Mike, which you guys probably already know that." They nodded. "This is Will, this idiot is Dustin, and the drama queen, Lucas just walked out." Richie looked at everyone and pointed at them, saying,
"That's Haystack, Billiam, Stan the Man, Homeschooled, Eddie Spaghetti-"
"I will murder the fuck out of you, Richie. Shut up." Eddie glared at him and he laughed.
"And as you can see, I'm Richie, the sexiest person in the room." Mike looked at him weird and shook his head.
"What are your actual names?" Will asked them.
"I'm Ben."
"Bill."
"Stanley."
"Mike."
"Shit there's another one."
"Dustin, shut up."
"I'm Eddie."
"It's nice to finally meet everyone." Lucas commented, popping up behind Mike.
"You good now, dude?" Mike asked him. Lucas looked at him and then at Richie, and sighed.
"If you two start saying the same shit at the same time I'm gonna have to kill one of you."
"I vote that one." Richie said, raising one hand and pointing at Mike with the other. Dustin snorted. And Mike rolled his eyes. El grabbed Mike's hand and said,
"Why don't we go down to the basement, there's more room down there." She offered, and everyone agreed and followed them.
"Why do you guys have so many couches?" Bill asked. There were three couches in the basement.
"Anytime my parents get a new couch, they give it to us or my sister." Mike replied, plopping down on the end of one couch. El sat in his lap and he wrapped his arms around her while everyone sat on either the floor or the couches.
"We've only been here for about six months." El told them.
"And his parents have given you three couches?" Mike H asked. They nodded.
"Yep."
"In six months?" Eddie asked, raising an eyebrow.
"My mom is weird, okay? And my dad has yet to find the right couch for his lazy ass to sleep on."
"Well damn, I thought you and your dad were getting along?" Bev asked him.
"Yeah, last week you two hugged." Max said.
"Hey where's Elizabeth?" Richie asked, as if just now realizing she wasn't there.
"We dropped her off at home, now hush." Eddie rolled his eyes at him and Richie just grinned at him.
"A lot can go down in a week." Mike replied. "He started talking shit to me about not going to college and becoming a fucking doctor or whatever so... Yeah."
"I'm sorry." Bev said, biting her lip.
"It's fine, I'm not the only one who has daddy issues. He can go suck it." The party burst out laughing at that and Bev snorted.
"Michael!" El exclaimed, smacking him. He chuckled.
"What was so funny?" Richie asked.
"Mike never says stuff like that." Will explained. "He usually never curses either, so I don't know what his deal is."
"It's his inner Richie coming through." Eddie said. "By the way, what the actual fuck. What kind of mutant DNA sorcery is it that you guys look so much alike?" They shrugged.
"Twenty dollars they're long lost twins." Dustin said. Mike rolled his eyes but they widened when he saw Max, Lucas, Ben and Bev shake on it.
"Really guys?" Will asked, and they nodded.
"Shit, I'll join on it too." Richie said and shook Dustin's hand.
"It's seriously creepy how much you two look alike. And I mean, you look nothing like your parents, Richie." Stanley said. Richie rolled his eyes at the mention of his parents.
"Thank God." He muttered. "I'd be ugly as shit if I did."
"Damn, that bad, huh?" Lucas asked.
"It get's worse, but that's for another day. I wanna know how you and your little group of friends became friends." Ben nodded in agreement and said,
"Yeah, how'd you guys all meet?"
