Summary
You should come see us. We play at the Hideout on Tuesdays.
She doesn’t plan to take him up on it. Doesn’t pencil Eddie’s gig into her day planner, or anything, squished between cheer practice and her English paper that’s due next week.
It just sort of happens.
[or: three times Chrissy takes Eddie up on his invitation, and one time she doesn't.]

Summary
She brings a hand to her mouth, sucks on her thumbnail. The cuff of Eddie’s shirt droops over her hand, plaid and worn-down soft and it smells like deep fry and his leather jacket.
“Well, I wouldn’t—I mean, I don’t want to eat your lunch.”
“No sweat, Cunningham, I got this for you.”
She blinks. “You did?”
He smiles. Of course he does. And, gosh, does Eddie Munson have the prettiest smile; she thinks she’d do just about anything he asked, so long as he was smiling at her like that.
Like that. Like there’s nothing else to look at but her, and she’s all he needs.
(Eddie plies Chrissy with illicit fast food in the woods behind Hawkins High.)

Summary
It’s… the strangest thing, really. Eddie Munson in front of her, with his long frizzy hair and the leather jacket, smelling like weed and sweat, his eyes dark and deep and kind. They don’t even feel like they belong in the same universe.

Summary
“Hey Prom Queen.”
Speak of the devil and Eddie Munson shall appear.
She turns to him, feeling oddly embarrassed to be all dressed up in front of him while he’s in his usual ripped jeans and t-shirt.
“I knew you’d win.” He takes the cheap tiara from her hands; it looks absolutely ridiculous in his hands, flimsy and delicate surrounded by long tendons and the scuffed metal of his rings. He could snap it in a heartbeat and for a second she thinks he might, but instead he cradles it carefully, like it’s actually made of gold instead of plastic and paint.
or; it's Prom Night at Hawkins High and Chrissy would probably rather be in the Upside Down.

Summary
He may have died, but there would never be another Chrissy Cunningham looking down on him from the ceiling of his uncle’s trailer. And, as he closed his eyes for the last time, he was not haunted by her eyeless sockets and silently screaming jaw, as he had been every time he blinked since the day he watched her die.
Instead, all he saw was her bright smile and the way her eyes glimmered in the afternoon sun that day in the woods.
And then––
He woke up.or
Eddie Munson dies in the Upside Down. He wakes up in bed.
