    Summary

    "It’s just… I don’t want you to look back on this and regret it. I don’t know if I’m ever gonna see you again, and—”

    “Don’t talk like that…”

    “It’s true! I had the best summer of my life, and now you have to go away. It isn’t fair.”

    “You really think this is the end?”

    “…I’d like to think it’s just the beginning.”
    --
    Or: It's the summer of '58 when Richie and Eddie meet on the beach and fall in love. It's the fall of '58 when Richie and Eddie meet at Rydell High and realize how little they knew each other.

    Summary

    Eddie yanks the VHS out of the box from Richie's mom. The stretched, yellowing piece of tape along the side reads “Prom 1994,” and when a cold, unadulterated shiver goes through Eddie’s body at the sight of the words, at the flood of memories that overflows him, he shoves it straight back under the loudly patterned t-shirt on top. Unfortunately, Bev sees him, and snatches the tape back.

    “Oh my god,” she says, pressing the tape flat under her nail, “is this really our prom video?”

    -

    Or: The Losers watch their prom video, Richie gets a time-out, and Eddie has a lot of feelings about his guest closet.
