A/N: I'm back guys!
Sorry it's been a few days. School drove me crazy this week and all that stuff since it was full of tests and I'm sick of it! WHY SCHOOL?! WHY MUST YOU TAKE UP MY TIME ON DOING THE FUN STUFF!
Seriously! I want summer right now.
So, now that the lab thinks that Eleven is dead, what will happen? Seems like Brenner isn't so sure whether or not to believe it. Our favorite kids better work fast to help her! But now they are a little busy with Halloween. But what if something happens? OOH!
Here we go!
The next night, the boys were getting ready to go trick-or-treating. They were putting on their costumes at the Wheeler's residence. They then grabbed their pillow cases and started to head out of the house.
Mike was a little upset about yesterday. He and Nancy went out to look for Eleven, but found nothing. There was no sign of her or anything. She didn't even reach out through the lights. Mike was worried about her. He really hoped that she wouldn't be dead by the time he found her.
Will and Mike had tried to convince Lucas and Dustin that it was a fake dream. Dustin immediantly believed them, but Lucas was hard to insist. He kept on saying that Will wouldn't know if it was fake or not. He also said that Eleven didn't try to communicate with him after that. Mike was angry at Lucas' claims and would have punched him again if Will and Dustin had not held him back.
Now it was Halloween and Mike and Will had a plan to look for Eleven. They would try to go with Dustin too, but Lucas will probably refuse. But they had to give it a shot.
Just before the boys were leaving, Nancy came down the stairs. She was wearing a leather jacket and her hair was up in a ponytail. Mike knew that the look she had meant that she meant business. Nancy walked up to Mike and spoke to him.
"Mike. I'm going with you," she said.
Her brother was confused. "What do you mean?" He asked.
"We have another chance to find Eleven. I already packed up the supplies. We are going to look for her," Nancy explained.
Mike smiled at his older sister. He was happy that she was actually there for him now. They used to be jerks to each other, but now they were there for one another. They hardly argued and they knew what they both were going through. Mike never thought that this could be possible with Nancy.
"Thanks Nancy," Mike said.
"Hey, no problem. It's the least I can do. I just want to see my brother happy again," Nancy said, smiling.
"Are we going or what?" Lucas asked.
Then the five exited the house for some trick or treating.
...
The kids thought that this was the best Halloween ever. Many people complemented them on their Ghostbusters costumes. They also got a butt load of candy this year. Dustin was nearly dying of joy because of all the candy.
Mike was secretly holding onto some lights in his pillowcase. It was there just in case Eleven wanted to talk to him. Nancy had her flashlight on to light the way, and to find a certain girl wearing a pink dress and blue flannel. Will and Dustin also kept their eyes open while Lucas was suspicious of them. He still didn't believe that Eleven was alive anymore, but knew that everyone else was looking for her. It annoyed him a little because no one ever looked into the obvious.
The group walked along the street of Mirkwood to go to Will's house. That was when things started to happen.
The lights started flashing in Mike's pillowcase.
He noticed it right away and pulled out the lights. They were flashing really fast and they were very bright. It nearly blinded Mike a little bit. Everyone else saw it and gasped. Eleven was communicating again.
"Mike!" Eleven yelled out.
"Eleven!" Mike yelled.
Everyone looked at Mike in confusion. They were curious on why they didn't hear Eleven and why Mike could.
"Where are you?" Eleven asked.
"We are at Mirkwood. You know, the place where we first found you?" Mike answered.
"Mirkwood..." Eleven whispered. "Eggos."
Mike raised an eyebrow at what Eleven said. Eggos were her favorite food to eat. Mike guessed that she was hungry and really wanted them.
"Don't worry El. We're coming for you. Then you can eat as many Eggos as you want. I promise," Mike promised.
There was a moment of silence from Eleven. The lights were still flashing brightly so Mike knew that she was still there. Then she finally spoke up.
"No. Eggos in a box," Eleven said.
Mike became confused. Eleven had seen the Eggo boxes before when she was there last year. Why was she talking so weird? But he needed answers desperately. He needed to know how to find her and what to do to get to her. Mike just wanted her home.
"What do you mean?" Mike asked.
"Box in the woods. Where you found me," Eleven responded.
Then Mike started to head out into the woods. Everyone followed him in curiousness. They couldn't hear a word what Eleven was saying, but Mike did. He seemed to understand her the most anyway. They would take his word on what Eleven probably said to him.
Mike led his friends and sister to the spot where he met Eleven. There it was. A small wooden box was right there in the middle of the spot. He opened up the lid and there was still one Eggo in there. Then it suddenly disappeared in thin air. Mike guessed that Eleven must have eaten the last one.
"More Eggos," Eleven begged.
Mike smiled at what Eleven said. She would never get bored of the same favorite food as long as she lived. Mike though that it was adorable of her.
"El, can you tell me where you are? Are there any gates that either you or I can use?" Mike asked. He needed to know. He had to get to her now.
"No. Too much energy," Eleven said.
"You have to open one yourself?"
"Yes. Too drained. Had to fight monster."
Mike guessed that it was the monster from Will's dream. He was just happy that Eleven survived that whole mess.
"When you gain more energy, you can open one. Right?" Mike asked.
"Yes."
Mike became excited a little bit. Pretty soon, Eleven would make her way to him with her powers. Then she would be home and he could take care of her, give her Eggos, hug her, take her to the Snowball, and kiss her again. Those were his private thoughts that no one would ever know. Except for Eleven when she came back home.
Eleven was excited too, even though she had no idea what to call this feeling. She wanted to see Mike again. She wanted to see his familiar face and talk to him face to face. She wanted to go to this Snowball, whatever it was. Mike said that it was a cheesy school dance where you go to the gym and dance to music. She thought that it sounded fun and she wanted to go. She also wanted to know what it was called when Mike put his lips against hers. Whatever it was, she liked it.
"Just let me know when it happens, okay El?" Mike said.
"Okay. Promise," Eleven said. Then the lights in Mike's hands went out and he closed the lid of the box.
He turned to look at everyone behind him. Nancy was smiling at him and nodding, Will was smiling too, and Dustin had an excited face. Lucas on the other hand looked shocked.
"So she really is alive, huh?" He said.
Mike nodded at him. "We tried to tell you. You just wanted to believe that she was dead," he said.
Lucas looked down at the ground, looking guilty. He felt really bad for believing a dream about Eleven being dead. He should have believed Mike and Will that it was a fake dream. He felt really bad now.
"I'm sorry Mike. I promise I'll help out this time," Lucas apologized.
Mike smiled at him and held out his hand. Lucas grinned and shook it back. They were now on the same side again.
Then Dustin decided to speak up. "So when is Operation: Find Eleven going to start?" He asked.
"Right when El opens the gate."
A/N: Oh my god! It happened again! She communicated once again now everyone is happy again!
So about Eleven returning, hopefully a few more chapters unless I want to stall you. I'm so evil like that! I love making you guys wait.
But I'm pretty excited for Eleven's return. It'll be really cool and dramatic! I saw a theory of it on YouTube on a trailer breakdown. It sounds really cool so I'm going to use it in this story!
I hope you enjoyed! Please review!
