Hawkins, Indiana.

(Eleven's POV)

When Jane "Eleven" Hopper woke up on the last day of her house arrest, she was filled with happiness. Hopper was finally going to let her go out. She could be with the party. She could have fun with her friends, she could see Mrs. Byers, and most important of all, she could be with Mike. To Eleven, Mike was basically a synonym for happiness. anytime she heard his voice or even his name, she couldn't help but smile. Over the past year, Eleven had hardly been allowed to have any contact with Mike Wheeler; except on rare special occasions, such as the Snow Ball. She knew that Hopper was just trying to protect her and she loved him for it, that being said, she still needed her freedom. As Eleven went into the kitchen, she saw that Hopper had been hard at work. He had made her at least 2 boxes of Eggos. He had piled them high on the plate and drenched them in berries and whipped cream. Her mouth watered at the sight of it.

"There you are." Hopper exclaimed in a joking matter. "I thought you were going to sleep all day." Eleven smiled as she saw the spread that her father had set before her.

"Eggos!" She exclaimed in awe. He smiled as she sat down and took a huge bite. Hopper sat down across from his daughter.

"I was getting worried for a second that I was going to have to eat all of these by myself." he joked. "There must be a hundred thousand calories in these bad boys." This got a giggle out of Eleven who gave the chief a smile that was filled with waffle, berry, and whipped creme.

"So, now that you don't have to hide anymore, what are your plans for your first day out in Hawkins?" Hopper inquired. Eleven hesitated for a moment. They both knew that Eleven was going to see Mike Wheeler. There was no question about it.

"Go see Will." She finally said. Hopper nodded.

"Is a certain Paladin going to be at the Byers place? That's his character, right?" He asked jokingly as Eleven nodded. Truthfully, Hopper knew next to nothing about Dungeons & Dragons, but he had heard the kids refer to Wheeler as a "Paladin". Over walkie-talkies, Mike had explained the party hierarchy to her. Will was the cleric, Mike was the Paladin and the Dungeon Master, Dustin was the bard, Lucas was the ranger, Max was the Zoomer, even though there was no such thing, and Eleven had been christened as the group's "mage"; due to her powers. Mike had sworn that once Eleven was allowed out, he would show her how to play.

"Yes." Eleven replied as she blushed a deep shade of red. Eleven was hoping that she could have gotten away without telling her dad that the mage was hoping for a romantic rendezvous with her Paladin, but he had asked, and after all. "Friends don't lie."


After the Eggo extravaganza had been cleaned up, Hopper drove his daughter over to the Byers house.

"Remember, i'll be back for you at 7:30 on the dot." Hopper reminded her as she got out of the car.

"Seven-three-zero." Eleven nodded as the chief pulled away. She knocked on the door and Joyce greeted her with a big hug.

"How are you, sweetheart?" She asked as Eleven returned the embrace. Joyce always had a soft spot for Eleven since she had found her youngest boy in the Upside Down. She had been seeing more and more of Joyce, on account of she had been spending more and more time with Hopper.

"I'm all right, where are the boys?" She asked.

"They're in Will's room waiting for you." Joyce replied as Eleven went for Will's bedroom. When she got in, she found the boys having an intense arguement about Dungeons & Dragons.

"Hey guys, shut up." Dustin said as he drew attention to Eleven.

"Hi El." Will said as he went in for a hug. Dustin the bard and Lucas the ranger followed Will the Wise's lead with embraces of their own.

"Where's Mike?" Eleven asked.

"Oh, he's on a date with a girl." Lucas chuckled as Eleven looked like her cat had just died. "I'm just kidding, he's on the john." Eleven and the party were pissed.

"That was a dick move man, a real dick move." Dustin insisted.

"I'm sorry man." Lucas replied.

"Mouth breather." Eleven muttered.

"I said I was sorry." Lucas insisted as Mike came into the room.

"Eleven..." Mike whispered as he rushed over and held her tightly.

"Mike..." Eleven whispered back as she kissed him on the cheek.

"I've waited so long to be here with you...without Hopper..." Mike stuttered as the party watched with joy. They played Dungeons & Dragons for several hours until Mike and Eleven went outside for some air.

"It's been hard without you." Eleven said as they walked outside the Byers home.

"I know, I haven't been this close to you since the Snow Ball. I still get goosebumps every time I hear that song." Mike admitted.

"Mike..." Eleven asked nervously. "Can we dance again?" Mike was taken aback, but then took his beloved Eleven in his arms and they danced on the grass. As he held her close, he started to sing their song.

Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take, I'll be watching you
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay, I'll be watching you

Eleven pulled Mike closer to her as he continued.

Oh, can't you see you belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take

"We belong...to each other." Eleven said as she pressed her forehead to his.

Every move you make, every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake, I'll be watching you

Mike and Eleven shared a single kiss on the lips as they danced at their own personal ball.
