Summary
Mike and Will start on a swingset in kindergarten, almost eighteen years ago, when Will is five, very shy, and sitting by himself during recess. Mike Wheeler slots himself into Will's life like he was always meant to be there — shuffles beside him, asks if he wants to be friends. He is the first friend Will ever makes, and they don't know it yet, but Mike will change his life forever.
(And, well, Will has a few secrets from Mike. One: that he's the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, and two: that Will is hopelessly in love with him. The latter happened long before the former, and that's almost exactly the reason why Will hasn't said anything at all, and probably never will.)

Summer jobs, friendships, and new romances are tested as the three friends navigate their newfound identities as mermaids.
For Lucas Sinclair, standing by Max no matter what is easy. And for Dustin Henderson, he’d spend all day researching Jane’s newfound powers.

Summary
The pencil flew out of his grasp and onto the floor. Will pushed his seat back and tried to grab the pencil off the floor. Then, his heart began pounding. Fast.
He clutched at his chest, his breaths increasing rapidly. His entire body seized up into a stone. He couldn’t move. The only emotion in his brain was fear. Pure, undistilled fear.
Will choked out, trying to swallow some oxygen in his pulsing lungs. He felt like a fish out of water, flopping around and gasping uselessly.
Finally, he choked down enough air to yell, “Help!”After the nightmare that was the Mind Flayer and Starcourt Mall, Will just wants to enjoy the rest of summer '85 with his friends. Things get complicated however, when he starts feeling peculiar emotions-emotions that aren't his. At first, Will thinks it's the work of the Mind Flayer, having found another way to torture him. But the more feelings that show up, the more Will realizes it might not be the Flayer after all. The real source of the feelings might be something much more terrifying.
