Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome back to my story. In the last chapter the main gang started planning my OC's birthday party. And my OC had started to come to terms with his situation. So now without further ado let the story commence.

Chapter 12

I was still sitting on the porch swing when Jim's battered old police truck pulled into the driveway of the cabin. I gave him a small wave as he started towards the house. Seeing that he was carrying several bags of groceries I jumped up to assist him with getting everything into the cabin. And now I figured this would be as good a time as any to ask him the question that had been on my mind. "Hey… Hopper could I go into town and buy some period correct clothing?" I didn't see why he would say no I mean the lab was occupied and knew my face but he had still let El have a social life. Albeit a somewhat sheltered one, as a precaution he had banned her walking anywhere alone, but that wasn't a huge burden. the boys had been teaching her to ride a bike so that they could ride together anyway.

But I suddenly got a cold feeling in the pit of my stomach when the sheriff fixed me with a withering glare. Clearing his throat he spoke "Period correct? What do you think this is sixteen fourteen!?" He sounded annoyed but there was a playful look in his eyes. We stared at each other for a few seconds, but finally neither of us could stand it and burst out laughing. Catching his breath he told me that if I was to go than I would need to go with somebody, the same revised don't be stupid rules that he had given to El. "So could you take me into town?" And the answer came back a tired no. and soon there after Hopper flopped down onto the couch and opened a can of beer.

Nancy Jonathan and Steve were all sitting in Joyce Byers kitchen working on arrangements for the surprise party they were planning for John. When the phone rang and Jonathan got up to get it.

Nancy looked nervous, and cleared her throat to get Steve's attention "Steve?" She said, and with a grunt he looked up "Yeah?" Was all he said. Finally mustering the courage she took a deep breath and said "I want you to know that in the end it never would have worked between us"

She had more planned to say but at that moment Steve said "I know" there was what felt like a long silence before either of them spoke. After some time Nancy said "we are still friends… right?" And Steve nodded and gave a small laugh "This feels like the ending of a bad romantic comedy".

And this made Nancy laugh "how would you know" she said with a friendly wink.

And Steve with a grin replied "Well you made me watch a bunch of them"

And this finally was enough to push her over the edge, she cracked and burst out laughing.

Much to Steve's confusion, after about twenty seconds of laughter she calmed down enough to speak " You slept through all of them".

Steve looked dumbfounded "it's not that funny" he said indignantly.

To Nancy though it was, and before they could continue the banter Jonathan had entered the room. With news, as it turned out John had just called asking for a ride into town to buy some clothes. They all beamed as this would be the perfect opportunity to figure out what to get him by looking at what windows he peered in.

Hey guys hope you enjoyed this chapter. I tried to make the Nancy Steve scene believable, but that I haven't had a similar experience in my life I am not one hundred percent sure of how they would have acted in that scenario. And for BNemesis here is the eleven meets OC scene takes on for good measure.

P.S this is from El's point of view.

I clutched Mike's hand tighter and stared heart racing at my "brother" as he sat on the bed looking tired. I wasn't quite sure how he made me feel, as on the one hand he was like me, but on the other so was Kali and she had turned out to be bad.

There was also something else about him that just felt strange like he knew a thousand secrets, but was also clueless to so much of the world.

I wasn't sure where she got that impression from. something in his eyes said most of it.

Letting go of mikes hand I warily approached the bed when suddenly the man turned to look at me and said "Hello Eleven"

Good night and God bless Yinz.
