Hi! Here is my new story! I'm writing two Stranger Things fics right now, so I will alternate between them I really hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew. :) anyway, enjoy and let me know what you think.
It was a boring afternoon, on a rainy, yucky, Saturday that nobody wanted to be out in. The town of Hawkins was back to pretty much normal after the demo-dogs and the whole gate to another deminsion problem. It was April. The snow was long gone, but was instead replaced with hours of endless drizzling rain, and cloudy skies, making the whole town seem gloomy.
Most of the town was empty. Nobody walked on the streets. Nobody coming in and out of little shops. Few cars drove down the wet road, splashing water as they went. Most people where in their little homes, trying to be in a good mood, despite the crappy weather outside. Smoke still came from the chimneys, the heaters doing what they could to keep the house warm.
The Wheelers house was like all the others. Smoke coming from the chimney, the lawn a swampy mess, and the flower beds yet to be replanted and groomed. Everything may have been perfectly normal on the outside, but the inside was a mess of noises.
"Ahha! I win! Take that suckers!" Max yelled, slamming her final Uno card on the table. The boys groaned, tossing their leftover cards onto the table.
"Again? How are you doing this?" Will asked, shuffling the card deck once more. Max shrugged, but smiled victorious. Lucas grinned. Mike rolled his eyes, and Dustin was busy shoving another potato chip into his mouth.
"Another round?" Lucas suggested. The boys erupted into another fit of groans, while Max nodded eagerly. Mike checked his watch and sighed. He glanced at the fort. Even though El had returned, and was living with Hopper, he still couldn't bring himself to take down the fort. It was like it was a part of him now. Like she was a part of him. She was. Now that she was back, Mike couldn't imagine what it would be like if El left him again. He didn't know if he could ever again live without her.
Lucas caught Mike's glance at the fort.
"Aw. Don't worry Mike, Your girlfriend will be here soon enough." Will and Max burst into a fit of giggles. Dustin chuckled with a cookie now in his mouth.
"Shut up Lucas! She's not my girlfriend."
"Uh. Yeah she is! I saw you kiss her... at the snowball." Max chimed in. Mike stared at them, with his mouth open. He couldn't deny it. He did kiss her. And he loved every second of it. Of that dance. Of that night.
"Yeah well... you and Lucas kissed!" Lucas stood up.
"Yeah well, we are dating! You haven't even asked El out. It's totally obvious that you love her!"
"I don't love her!" Mike snapped back, punching his chair backwards as he stood. That wasn't true. He knew that. He was just never going to admit it to the guys. He truly loved El more than anything on the planet. He would give the world to El if he could. He was doing everything he could to give it to her too.
"Yeah. Right. That's bullshit!" Lucas snapped. Mike felt his face get hot with anger. Then Mike lunged. It was normally Dustin and Lucas that got into fights. Now, Mike was on top of Lucas smacking him with anger.
"Whoa Whoa! Dude!" Dustin yelled back, pulling Mike off.
"Lay off man!" Dustin said standing in between the two. Lucas glared at Mike. Mike glared back. From the table, Max and Will sat there exchanging glances of confusion.
"He started it!" Mike sneered back. Lucas went to push him again. Dustin stepped in between.
"You guys! You both are acting like five year olds! Just say sorry to each other, and let's move on with our lives!" Dustin shouted. Mike looked down at the floor, suddenly feeling bad for causing such a scene. Lucas huffed.
"Fine. I'm sorry Mike." Lucas said, holding out his hand to shake on it. Mike nodded.
"Me too." The two shook hands. Max smiled and stood.
"Great! Now that that's over with, can we please get something to eat! I'm starving!" Will and Dustin followed her up the stairs ina race to reach the top.
"Pizza parlor, here I come!" Dustin screamed p, his voice cracking as he charged to the front door. Lucas follows them more slowly, taking his time to put on his jacket and walk up the stairs. Mike glanced back at the fort, then at his watch.
"She should've been here an hour ago. El is never late." Mike said aloud to himself. He suddenly panicked, the thought of losing her causing him to feel a wave of emotion crash into him. His stomach then contorted into a pained feeling. Like he could feel El's pain. Suddenly he bolted up the stairs, out the front door, and got on his bike.
"Yo! Mike! Where are you going?" Lucas screamed as the rest of the party took thier time, getting thier shoes on.
"I got to check on El!" Mike yelled back, already half way down the street. He had a twisted gut feeling in his stomach that burned through him, telling him that something was wrong. Very wrong.
"Sir. Your plans have been severely altered after the gate was closed. How do you think that a bunch of kids are going to help you?" A large man in a suit stormed down the hallway of Hawkins Department of Energy, a smaller man in a lab coat following quickly behind. Suddenly the large man stopped. He turned.
"Becaue... in order to reopen our gate, we need that girl. We need that boy. He has a connection with the beast in the other world. We need the whole group. They are smart for kids. They somehow understand how all of this working. We can get them to go inside the deminsion. They have already been exposed anyway. They will simply become our new test subjects. And that other boy. The one test subject number 11 seemed so fond of, get him too. We don't know how he has been affected, or if he has any connections with the test 11. Do you understand?" The man asked, spitting in the little scientists face.
The little man nodded meekly, cowering in fear of the large man in front of him. He smiled a wicked grin.
"Good. Now get the serum. That girl could wipe us out easily." The scientist nodded again and hurried off in the other direction. The man smiled to himself.
"Dr. Brenner thought he was good. I, Dr. D. Hitchcock, am greater." Hitchcock strutted down the hallway the same wicked smile planted on his face. His plans were ready to begin.
That's the first chapter. I hoped you guys enjoyed it! It's going to get intense. The title of the story will make more sense later. Don't worry, it will have a happy ending though, and thier will Be planet of Mileven in up coming chapters! I am also alternating between this story and Promise for Life. Until next time,
