This will probably be one of the worst chapters of the entire story so far. The reason is because I'm sick as a dog today. My boss sent me home three hours into my shift because I could barely stand up straight. My stomach is killing me. I barely ate anything and I feel as if I have to hurl all the time. But I really couldn't do anything else but write this. Lying in bed doing nothing is something I'm incapable of. Still, I barely proof-read this chapter. So if you find errors, accept them and move on. I'll probably read the chapter again tomorrow with fresh eyes to see where I had typos.

Still, enjoy :)

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters and I write for my own pleasure and that of the readers.


Over three weeks. Almost twenty-five days. Twenty-five days of not seeing Mike, only hearing him. Twenty-five days of not touching him or getting touched by him. Twenty-five days of her doing homework and work on controlling her powers again, managing to get better at it and not have them get out of control, though nobody pushed her over the edge in that time.

She looked at her luggage and tried to think of something she might have forgotten. Underwear and socks? Check. Shirts and pants? Check. Sweaters? Check. Bikini and bathing suite for swim lessons? Check. Area between her legs shaved? Check. The last point made her blush, thinking of last night when she had done it in the bathroom.

It had felt exceedingly weird to do it, especially since she had to take a lot more care than when she was shaving her legs but doing it while taking a bath had helped. She just hoped that Mike would like it. Another thought came to her and she decided to ask Joyce about it, finding her surrogate mother in the living room with a glass of wine in her hand.

"You all packed?" Joyce asked when she saw El.

"Yes." El nodded. "Why isn't Will coming to Hawkins as well? Doesn't he want to spend time with the others?"

"He hasn't told either me or anyone else yet, but he has met someone." Joyce smiled.

"He did?" El asked surprised. "Who is she? Why hasn't he told us?"

"Maybe because it's not a she." Joyce shrugged. "He thinks I don't know but I saw them."

"Wait, so will is...?"

"Apparently." Joyce shrugged. "I'm a bit disappointed that he hasn't told me yet."

"I wonder why." El hummed. "It's not as if I would love him any less."

"So, any plans for Christmas? Apart from making out with Mike." Joyce changed the topic and smiled at her surrogate daughter, taking a sip from her glass.

"I want to have sex with him." El said innocently but certain, causing Joyce to spit her wine back into the glass.

"Jesus!" Joyce coughed. "I should stop asking you questions when I'm drinking any liquid."

"Sorry." El said, not quite understanding why Joyce was reacting that way. "Why are you so shocked?"

"Sweetie, you only turned fifteen last month." Joyce said, eyes wide. "You're too young for sex!"

"But in one issue of those magazines you gave me it says that having sex even when young is okay when both really want it." El argued. "And it also said that since we're both the same age, the legal age minimum doesn't apply."

"I highly doubt that." Joyce scoffed. "Show me that one."

"Wait here." El said and went into her room, coming back a few minutes later with the issue, her finger inside the page that had the article. "Here."

"This says only that while it's becoming more common for people to have sex even when fifteen, it's still not the norm." Joyce told her. "And just because some do it, doesn't mean everyone should."

"What is the norm?" El asked.

" Usually between sixteen an eighteen." Joyce said. "Some people do it even later, but yes, some people do it before."

"But it felt so good when we did it with our clothes on when he was here during Thanksgiving." El said, still with the same infuriating innocence, and this time Joyce was glad that she hadn't taken a sip of wine.

"Okay, ignoring for the moment the fact that you two have in fact done sexual activities during the boys' visit, do you think that you need to have sex because you're afraid you will lose him otherwise?"

"No." El shook her head. "Mike loves me, he says it all the time and I believe him. I simply want it. I can't stop thinking about it."

"Yeah, I believe him too." Joyce sighed. "Okay, this is going to be tough."

"What?"

"Listen, I know I won't be able to stop you from doing it if you really want to, I know how stubborn you can be but I would rather have you two do things to explore your sexuality that don't include actual intercourse yet." Joyce said. "But please, for the sake of my sanity, if it's really going to happen, you have to promise me two things."

"What?" El repeated.

"First, only do it if you both really really really want to. I mean really. If you or Mike express any form of doubt or hesitation, stop! Don't force yourself or each other to do it just because you feel you have to." Joyce counseled.

"Okay." El nodded. "And the other thing?"

"Please, for the love of god, use protection." Joyce took her by the shoulders, shaking her. "Wait here." she added, getting up and heading into Jonathan's room, finding her son on the phone, probably with Nancy.

"Hey mom, what's going on?" he asked, Joyce ignoring him as she opened his nightstand, taking out the box of condoms he had in there and taking a handful. "Mom, what are you doing?"

"I need those for El." Joyce huffed and left the room, leaving a baffled Jonathan and returning to El. "Take these."

"Thank you." El smiled, still displaying the same innocence.

"Oh god, please don't let this happen, not yet." Joyce muttered, holding her head in her hands. "Can you promise me that you at least try to not have intercourse with Mike until you two are at least sixteen?"

"Promise." El nodded and handed the condoms back to Joyce before getting up to go to her room so she could peruse more magazines to find stuff to do with Mike that wouldn't include that, otherwise her urges would probably make her break that promise.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone line between Jonathan and Nancy, Mike's older sister had just finished listening to her boyfriend explain what his mother had just done in his room. She let the receiver fall onto her bed and left the room, Jonathan's voice still coming from the other end, she walked out of her room and to the basement door, opening it to find her brother and his friends sitting on the couch, talking about their Christmas plans.

"MIKE!" she shouted, making him fall from the couch.

"Jeez, Nancy, what's wrong?" Mike asked, holding his chest as he got back up, Lucas and Dustin snickering.

"Come with me, right now!" Nancy ordered, stomping back up the stairs and the way she said it told Mike that he better follow her.

"What's going on?" he asked after she had closed the door to his room, squealing in shock when she grabbed him by the collar and pushed him against the door.

"Tell me you're not going to have sex with El when she comes to visit." Nancy growled. "You're too young for that!"

"Wh... What?" Mike stammered. "Where did this come from?"

"I was on the phone with Jonathan when his mom came into his room and took some of his condoms, telling him they were for El." Nancy clarified. "What is going to happen when she comes here for Christmas and New Years?"

"Nothing." Mike said in a high-pitched voice. "What do you think we did on Thanksgiving weekend? Make plans to have sex on Christmas?"

"It certainly sounds like it when El goes to talk to Joyce and Joyce then gives her condoms." Nancy smacked him on the temple. "I doubt she wants to fill them with water."

"Ow!" Mike yelled. "Stop hitting me."

"Mike, please be honest, what did you and El do during Thanksgiving?" Nancy calmed down a bit. "Did I really hear her yell your name at night or did I dream that."

"Well, she wasn't yelling..." Mike hesitated.

"So you did something!" Nancy hissed.

"We were never naked!" Mike quickly said before his sister could lift her arm again to smack him. "El just... wanted to experiment."

"Mike, I know you two are fifteen now and your hormones are in full swing but please promise me to keep anything experimental related to her in the clothed column until you're at least sixteen." Nancy pleaded.

"Yes, I promise." Mike nodded, not even sure that El actually wanted real sex yet but knowing that if she did, he wouldn't be able to say no.

"Dude, what's going on?" Lucas asked when he returned to the basement.

"Nothing." Mike shook his head, unwilling to tell his friends about this. "A misunderstanding. Jonathan told Nancy something that didn't happen."

"So, tomorrow El's coming down for two weeks." Dustin brought them back to their planning. "We need to plan our itinerary."

"Dude, you're acting as if this is a business visit." Lucas interjected.

"We can play Dungeons and Dragons again." Dustin pointed out.

"Will is not coming, so we'd be missing the Cleric." Mike told him.

"Why isn't Will coming?"

"No idea, El told me last night that Will wanted to spend Christmas in Chicago." Mike shrugged.

"That sucks." Dustin said dejected.

"Okay, this is what we'll do." Mike said. "When El gets here, it's evening anyway, so we won't do anything. Then, the day after, we head to the video store and rent some Christmas movies. It's El's first Christmas she can celebrate without hiding, so lets give her the full treatment. We can also play a few games in the arcade."

"We can play other board games, we don't have to play D&D." Lucas said to Dustin as they got up.

"Okay guys, we meet here tomorrow at two." Mike stated, the others agreeing before leaving him alone.


"Where is it." Mike huffed, pacing back and forth.

"Michael, it's winter, the train is a little late." his mother tried to calm him.

"What if something happened?" Mike imagined the worst. "What if..."

"There it is." Karen pointed to their left, where a train was coming around the bend into the station.

"Thank god." Mike sighed in relief.

The train rumbled into the station, getting slower all the time until almost everyone in the station held their hands over their ears when the train stopped for good, its wheels screeching loud. The doors opened and people began coming out, less than Mike thought but the town was small, even though it was still bigger than Hawkins which didn't even have a train station at all.

He looked left and right, seeing older people exit the wagons, their, presumably, relatives greeting them. Finally, a familiar goddess came out, carrying three pieces of luggage, clad in a thick jacket with a winter hat on her head. When she saw Mike, she smiled widely, dropping her bags and opening her arms to receive Mike who ran over to her.

"I'm so glad you're here." he said between kisses.

"I'm so glad to be here." she replied, her words equally interrupted by more kisses.

"Ahem." Karen got their attention after a minute has passed.

"I'm sorry, mom." Mike blushed and pointed to El. "Mom, this is El, my girlfriend. El, this is my mom."

"Nice to finally meet you in person." Karen smiled and shook El's hand.

"Likewise, Misses Wheeler." El said, a bit intimidated and afraid to say something wrong.

"Call me Karen." Karen smiled at the girl.

"I don't think I can, dad always told me that it's disrespectful." El said.

"Michael, don't ever let her go." Karen laughed.

"I don't intend to." Mike murmured, making El smile.

"El, it's okay if the grown up offers it to you." Karen explained, remembering Nancy's warning that El was not quite developed in social stuff. "But we should head out if we want to have dinner at a normal hour."

Mike quickly grabbed all three of the bags El had brought with her and hurried out of the train station. Snow was falling in earnest in this part of Indiana, even though barely any flakes have come down in Hawkins itself. They put the luggage into the trunk and El got into the backseat, Mike going in front because of his long legs.

Karen began the drive and fought her way through the weather. Due to the snow on the road, the going was slow and it took almost ninety minutes to cover the distance that they usually did in a third of that time but finally, Karen drove the car into the garage, El and Mike getting out and Mike again taking all of the luggage, bringing it into the house through the side entrance.

"We're back!" Karen shouted and ten seconds later, Ted appeared, not sleeping in his lay-z-boy, their youngest daughter right behind him.

"Dad, Holly, this is my girlfriend El." Mike did another introduction. "El, these are my dad and my little sister Holly."

"I like your hair." Holly pointed at El's head. "It looks better than Mike's. So fluffy."

"Of course it does." Mike huffed.

"I like you." El grinned and bend down at the knee to be on eye level with her before shaking her hand.

"I'm Ted." Mike's dad greeted her, holding out his hand.

"Nice to meet you, sir." El shook it.

"Call me Ted." the older man smiled, though it seemed to her as if he was uncomfortable being this forthcoming.

"You get your luggage into your room, I'll start with dinner." Karen said as she took off her jacket.

"I already made everything ready." Ted said and pointed to the kitchen, where every ingredient was in bowls or on plates in the kitchen. "I didn't dare cook it."

"Good." Karen smiled, still amazed at how much Ted was trying to be a better husband.

"Come with me." Mike said and grabbed her luggage again, fighting himself up the stairs, his body with the bags too wide to fit into the stairwell.

"Let me take one." El laughed and grabbed one of them, following him up into his room. "I can stay here?"

"Yes, apparently Joyce told my mom that if she put you into Nancy's room, we'd end up sleeping in one bed anyway, so..." he shrugged and put her bags down before sitting on the edge of his bed.

"That's very astute of them." El smiled and climbed into his lap, straddling his thighs and kissing him deeply. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too." Mike smiled back and they kept kissing for several minutes before they were interrupted by gagging noises.

"That's so gross." Holly complained, standing at the now open door.

"Just wait until you get our age." El grinned at the little girl.

"Ew, no!" Holly made a face. "Boys are yucky."

"That's what I thought about girls too." Mike shrugged. "Until I met a certain girl in the woods."

"Mom told me to get you, dinner's ready." Holly told them and skipped back down the stairs."

"Well, let's go." Mike smiled and pushed her gently off of him before getting up, slapping her ass for a second and making her gasp at his boldness.

"There you are." Karen said and put the last plate down. "Dig in."

"Wow, this is delicious, Misses Whee... Karen." El said after eating the first forkful of pasta.

"Thank you." Karen smiled.

"Told you my mom is an awesome cook." Mike stated proudly and sucked a long line of spaghetti into his mouth.

"Mike, bite it off." Ted shook his head. "You're a bad role model."

"For who?" Mike mumbled, his mouth full but Ted only pointed to Holly who did the same thing Mike did though she spread sauce over a much larger area of her face.

"Holly." Karen chuckled and grabbed a kitchen roll, ripping one piece off to wipe the sauce Holly's face.

"I'm not as bad as her." Holly pointed to El, causing Mike to look as well before he began to laugh.

"What?" El asked, her mouth filled with the delicious food.

"You have..." Karen smiled.

"Wait!" Mike quickly interrupted her and jumped up from his seat, running out of the kitchen and returning five seconds later with a handheld mirror. "Look."

"Oh god!" El gasped when she saw her reflection, her entire mouth surrounded by sauce, making it look as if she had been bleeding profusely.

"Here." Karen laughed and handed her a paper towel from the roll.

"Thank you." El blushed and forced herself to eat slower.

"So, what are your plans for your time here?" Ted asked.

"Well, tomorrow we're going to the video store to rent a few Christmas movies and the arcade." Mike replied. "The others are coming over at two and we go together. And on the morning of Christmas eve, I'm taking El to the pool to teach her to swim."

"El, you can't swim?" Karen was surprised.

"No, I never learned." El shook her head sadly.

"Mike, that's so sweet of you." Karen was touched how much her boy seemed to love this girl.

"I thought the pool is closed for the next to weeks." Ted wondered.

"Dad, I work there, remember? The owner gave me a key so I can swim when I want without distractions." Mike reminded him.

"Right." Ted nodded.

"How did you convince Martin to give a key?" Karen looked at Mike.

"I don't know, I asked if I could because I swim." Mike shrugged. "Though I think it helped that I offered to sweep the pools for dirt when I get there early."

"I think that's it." Karen laughed, knowing how lazy Martin, the manager of the pool, was when it came to cleaning it.

"Lets hope you're not bothered by the smell." Holly giggled.

"What smell?" El asked.

"They put chlorine into the water to keep it clean, and that gives off a particular smell." Karen told her.

"Actually, that's not quite true, mom." Mike chuckled. "Mister Clark explained last week where the smell is actually coming from."

"Well, don't leave us hanging." Ted said.

"Chlorine is completely odorless." Mike explained. "But when it's combined with urine, that particular smell develops."

"Are you saying that whenever I smelled that smell when I was at the pool, it's because people were peeing into the water?" Karen gasped.

"Yes." Mike nodded.

"Ew, I'm never going into the water there again!" Holly gagged.

"Don't worry, that doesn't mean that you're bathing in urine." Mike winked. "It smells even if the amount is very small. I swim in it four times a week and I'm still healthy."

"Still, I felt better not knowing that." Karen made a face. "Will you be back for lunch?"

"I think so." Mike nodded. "Wouldn't want to miss your soup."

"Soup for Christmas?" El asked.

"Only on Christmas eve." Karen shook her head. "For Christmas itself, we have a goose."

"Oh, okay." El accepted that.

"Don't worry, it tastes delicious." Holly smiled.

"Can't wait." El smiled back.

"El, do you want to have a tea party with me?" Holly asked excited after they had finished the dinner.

"Sure." El agreed, looking at Mike, who nodded.

"Yay!" Holly whooped and ran upstairs, El following her.

"So, what do you think?" Mike asked, putting his plate into the sink.

"She's a very sweet girl." Ted said. "I like her."

"I like her too." Karen said. "I can't believe you never brought her here before."

"Yeah well, the Chief was a little protective of her." he tried to explain. "I think he went a little overboard because his first daughter died."

"I can see that." Ted nodded, knowing about the chief's little girl and her untimely death.

After cleaning the table, Mike offered to do the dishes, which surprised his mother tremendously. Once he was done, he went upstairs and saw that the door to Holly's room was still open, so he got close and listened in to what his sister and the woman he loved were talking about.

"And one more for Mister Fofo." he heard Holly saying. "And you get the last one."

"Thank you so much, it's delicious." El was playing along with the tiny empty cups.

"El, do you love my brother?" Holly was asking and suddenly, Mike's heart beat faster even though he knew the answer.

"Of course I do." El replied to her, Mike letting out the breath he was holding.

"Are you going to ask him to marry you?"

"I think he's supposed to do that." El was chuckling.

"Why?" Holly asked.

"Well, I read the man always proposes to the woman."

"But what if the man doesn't know you want to marry him? Or if he's too scared to ask?" Holly wanted to know.

"You know what, little one?" he could practically hear El smiling. "You make a good point."

Mike smiled to himself and went into the bathroom to relieve himself. While he was washing his hands, he heard his mother come upstairs, telling Holly to get ready for bed and as he left the bathroom, the little bundle of energy barreled past him, jumping into the bathtub and grabbing the shower head.

"Did you have fun?" Mike asked her.

"Yeah, you're sister is cute." she nodded and gave him a kiss.

They continued to make out until they heard Holly leave the bathroom, Mike letting El use it first where she showered and brushed her teeth. Mike used it after her and once they were both clean and in their pajamas, Mike led her down into the basement where he put a movie into the VHS for them to watch.

Two hours later, they went to bed, neither having seen much of the movie since they had been too busy making out.


The next day, they enjoyed a leisurely breakfast of toast and cereal, Holly excitedly talking about Christmas that would be happening in two days and how she was wishing for a unicorn again. They spent the morning in the basement again, this time making out inside the pillow fort that Mike had never taken down, although his legs didn't fit into it anymore.

Not that El hadn't minded. She had been very fine with being on her back while Mike was on top of her, their bodies pressed against each other and her legs spread. She had been hot and bothered the entire time, well aware that their genitals were pressed against each other, separated by four layers of clothing. The guys had come over early, Karen offering to make lunch for all of them and once they had eaten, they had gone back down into the basement and played a few board games before Dustin had suggested doing challenges they posed for each other.

So far, Mike had successfully done a handstand and even walked on his hands for a few steps while Lucas was still panting after doing twenty push ups with Max on his back. Max had failed to balance a pencil on her nose for a minute, much to her chagrin and El couldn't for the life of her carry an egg on a spoon without dropping it.

"Okay, next challenge." Dustin called.

"How long can El and Mike kiss without breaking apart for air?" Lucas suggested.

"Hell no!" Max shouted, even as Mike and El vigorously nod their heads at the challenge.

"Why not?" Mike asked.

"Because you two would then be sitting here, kissing for hours probably." Max huffed. "You're already like Siamese twins sometimes that are attached at the lips."

"How about, how many eggos can El stuff into her mouth without swallowing?" Dustin gave his suggestion.

"I'm game." El nodded and Lucas hurried to get a a box of eggos and a toaster.

"What do we do until the eggos are done?" Mike wondered.

"How about, which boy has the longest tongue?" Max smirked.

"What brought that up?" Dustin looked at her confused.

"She saw this band on TV, what were they called?" Lucas looked at Max.

"Kiss." Max said.

"Okay." Mike nodded and put his lips on El's, who responded immediately.

"See what you've done?" Lucas asked Max accusingly.

"Guys, stop." Max shouted at the couple. "The band's name is kiss. They have white face paint and the lead singer has a really long tongue."

"So now you want to see if ours are too?" Dustin wanted to know.

"Yeah, so out with those things." Max grinned, pulling out a ruler from somewhere.

"So?" El asked, looking at the guys, all of them standing there with their tongues against their chins.

"Well, visual check says Mike." Max said and measured everyone in turn. "Dustin... two point two inches, Lucas... two point five and a half inches and Mike... Jesus, almost three inches."

"Now we know why El loves him so much." Dustin laughed.

"What?" El blushed a deep read, her mind immediately going to the foreplay things she has read about back in Chicago.

"He can clean your throat with his tongue." Dustin grinned.

"Dude, that's gross!" Mike almost gagged.

"Yeah, his tongue never goes back there, I always stop it with my own way before that." El said innocently, seeing Dustin's face fall.

"Seriously, that's even worse than what I said." Dustin made a face.

"Just wait until you get a girlfriend." Mike winked.

"I have a girlfriend, remember?" Dustin retorted. "It's Suzie, with a z."

"Yeah, right." Mike sighed, wondering how to snap him out of that imaginary relationship.

"Listen to the aardvark." El said innocently.

"Don't call me that." Mike huffed.

"Eggos are ready." Lucas said and put the four waffles on a plate, placing it in front of El.

She took the entire stack, her hands not big enough to really hold them at let it fall back down, taking only the top waffle. She bit off piece by piece, chewing but not swallowing and quickly did the same with the second and the third. She tried to bite a piece off the fourth but she couldn't open her mouth without food falling out of it. She looked at her friends who were all smirking, though Mike starting guffawing right away.

"Smile." Max grinned and took a quick picture, causing El to break and spit out the waffles again.

"You bitch." El laughed. "Show me."

"Wait." Max waved the picture a while until it developed. "Here."

"You looked like a hamster." Mike still laughed, pointing at the picture.

"You really did." the others joined in.

"Stop laughing Mike, you're supposed to be my boyfriend." El moped jokingly.

"Alright, I'm sorry, my love...ly hamster." he grinned.

"That's it!" she laughed and tackled him to the couch.

"So, this is how you wanna play, huh?" he gave her a wicked look and used his superior strength to turn her around, descending down her body until his fingers had reached a very sensitive area on her body.

"Stop it!" she squealed and tried to get away.

"Oh no, you asked for it." he grinned and kept going.

"Help!" El laughed, trying to flee from the heartless monster that her boyfriend had become but whenever she managed to get away a few feet, his long arms pulled her back while her so-called friends didn't do anything but laugh at the scene.

"What's going on here?" a tiny voice asked, Mike's little sister entering the basement without knocking first.

"Holly, help!" El laughed and the little girl watched with glee when she saw her brother tickling El's feet, knowing what to do.

"Mike is really ticklish on his butt!" Holly yelled and skipped down the stairs, pressing her small hands on Mike's butt cheeks and starting to clench her fingers.

"Iiiiiiih!" Mike squealed a lot louder and with a much higher pitch than El did before as he tried to flee from his little sister, letting go of El in the process.

"Oh no you don't." El laughed and ran after him, tackling him again, this time to the floor, before he reached the door that led outside. "Guys, hold him down."

"No, don't, I beg you!" Mike pleaded but Dustin quickly jumped on Mike's legs while Max and Lucas held an arm down each, giving El all the time in the world to tickle his butt.

"What are the magic words?" El asked while keeping up her torture and the others laughed.

"Pretty please!" he yelled, his long body squirming.

"No, wrong!" El laughed and kept going.

"I'll do anything you want!" he tried again and this time she stopped.

"Good, he really knew them." El gave an evil laugh while Mike turned on his back after the others had let him go. "I won't ask you today, maybe not tomorrow but some day, I will ask you for something and you can't say no."

"Yes, everything you want." Mike panted, lying on the floor with his hands squeezed between his butt and the floor to protect it further.

"Thanks for the assist Holly." El patted the little girl's head.

"Everything for you." Holly giggled. "Especially when it's against him."

"Traitor." Mike pointed his finger at her.

"I like her more than you." Holly poked out her tongue, El's heart melting at how she had already been accepted into Mike's family.

"Nobody loves me." Mike gave a melodramatic sniff.

"I do." El grinned and sat down on his stomach, bending down to kiss him.

"Ewww! Gross!" Holly made gagging noises before she walked upstairs again. "Mommy, El is sitting on Mike!"

"WHAT?" came Karen's shocked shout from the kitchen before she came down a few steps to look, dreading what to find but she only saw El and Mike lying next to each other on the floor, both laughing while the other three laughed as well.

"Mom, they tortured me!" Mike complained. "Discipline your daughter."

"I tickled his butt and then El took over." Holly giggled from behind her mother.

"Good girl." Karen smiled.

"Even my own mother." Mike threw his arms up in defeat.

"Guys, if you still want to go to the arcade and the video store today, you should go now, it's supposed to be snowing later." Karen advised.

"Lets go." Dustin said. "And we have to stop by radio shack before, my order has come in."

"It's close to the arcade, so no problem there." Max shrugged, the group heading outside after getting dressed in winter clothing.

"Guys, we have to head home before." Lucas said, looking at Max.

"Why?" Dustin wanted to know.

"Uh... homework." Lucas gave a fake smile.

"Yeah right." Mike scoffed. "Guys, remember when El told you she had to go home at four in the afternoon?"

"Yeah, you went home to swap spit." Dustin nodded.

"Correct." Mike nodded. "So, Lucas, Max, why don't you just say that you want to make out a bit more before you have to spend the next three days apart because your families are taking you visit to your relatives?"

"Fine." Lucas shrugged. "We want to make out before we have to spend the next three days apart because our families are taking us to visit our relatives."

"See?" Mike grinned. "Easy."

"Have fun!" El called after them as they rode away on their bikes.

"Well, lets go then." Dustin shook his head, leading the way while Mike rode after him, El using his old bike that had become too small for Mike.


Another filler chapter. Starting with the next, I plan to branch out a bit and use other characters and their point of view. Stay tuned but...

Review please :)
