Eleven ceased her screaming when the demogorgon bursted into thousands of pieces. She dropped to the ground. E had been drained of most of her energy ano was unable to walk. Dustin carried El and placed her on the table in the cafeteria where they had left the chocolate pudding, before the bad men found them. Mike helped feed the chocolate pudding to El who was too weak to feed herself. Within fifteen minutes Eleven was energized again and the boys were thanking her for saving them from demogorgon. Meanwhile Jonathan and Nancy received a call to drive the kids to the hospital, because Will had been revived. While waiting for Will to wake up everyone slept or waited anxiously in the waiting room. Mike nervously waited to see Will as Eleven rested on his shoulder. Lucas and Dustin were asleep and Nancy sat tearing up thinking about the loss of Barb. After Will woke up the kids rushed to his room and gave him a huge hug. They began to tell him the story of the past week. Mike introduced Eleven to Will and told him how she used her telekinesis to save them. El and Will shyly acknowledged each other and Will thanked her for her help. That night after everyone left the hospital, El went home with Mike and Nancy. Dustin and Lucas got a ride home from Mike's parents. Mike carried Eleven down to her fort and went upstairs to his room. He was unaware that El was still secretly confused about the kiss. A few days later, Will went home with Joyce and Jonathan feeling good as new(the effects of the upside down in this story is only Will vomiting slugs for a few weeks). The Wheelers also decided to take in Eleven permanently, as she had already developed a close relationship with Nancy in only three days. Nancy enjoyed having a young sister to do girl stuff with and give advice too. Within the next week they planned to move Mike to the basement and remodel his bedroom fo El. Karen speculated Mike and El's relationship and decided it would be best they not share a room. Nancy planned to take her shopping for clothes while Karen found her a tutor to help her catch up with Mike and the boys that week also. The whole goal of the Wheeler's winter break was to celebrate Christmas and get Eleven settled in. The first day of winter break delayed the Wheeler's plans due to the occurrence of a snowstorm. Eleven was fascinated by all the tiny white snowflakes. She was disappointed Papa had kept her from seeing the snow all these years. Eleven looked out the window for hours before falling asleep. The next day would be a big day of remodeling for her, because they had already moved Mike downstairs.
