Mike speculated Jennifer Hayes would go to the dance with Will, because she had cried at his funeral. Mike wasn't sure why she was crying since she didn't really ever talk to Will. He finally had realized she probably had feelings for him. Mike dragged Will over to Jennifer's locker where she was getting her lunch box.
"Will has something to ask you Jennifer." Mike said. Jennifer started to blush and a big smile appeared on her face.
"Oh. Hey Mike. Hey Will. What do you want to ask me?" She said anxiously.
"Will you, will you, will you go to the dance with me Jennifer?" Will stuttered. Jennifer cheeks got even redder and she smiled even bigger. Will began to get nervous about the lack of an answer.
"I would love to go to the dance with you Will." Jennifer replied.
"Ok. My brother can drive us to the dance we can pick you up at 5:45." Will stated.
"Alright. I can't wait. See you Friday." Jennifer replied. Mike and Will headed to lunch to sit with Dustin and Lucas. Mike could tell Will was excited to go to the dance with Jennifer even though he would never admit it.
"Who did you get to go to the dance with Will? Lucas asked.
"Jennifer Hayes." Mike answered.
"I knew she liked him when I saw her crying at the funeral." Dustin stated.
"Ummm. Mike who's next to get a date to the dance?" Lucas asked.
"Dustin is next. I know the perfect person for him." Mike answered.
"Oh great. Who is it?" Dustin said sarcastically.
"Audrey Harper." Mike said.
"Why her?" Will asked.
"Audrey is very smart and Dustin is full of weird information. I've heard she is funny and Dustin likes to think he is funny. Also, she is very sensitive and Dustin is sensitive to our fights." Mike explained.
"She seems perfect for Dustin." Lucas stated.
"How could I have been so oblivious? She does seem a lot like me." Dustin replied.
"Good. You are asking her during recess." Mike stated.
"Fine." Dustin said. He secretly rolled his eyes. He actually kind of wanted to got to the dance with her to get to know her better. He thought she actually seemed cool. The bell rang and dismissed them to recess. Dustin waited nervously until Lucas spotted Audrey.
"Hey, Dustin there's Audrey." Lucas teased.
"It's your turn Dustin." Will said. Dustin slowly walked up to Audrey who was talking to a few of her friends.
"Hey, Audrey can I talk to you for a minute." Dustin asked.
"Sure Dustin." Audrey said.
"I've heard a lot about you and we seem a lot alike, and I'd like to get to know you better. I was wondering if you would go to the dance with me?" He asked.
"That's sound fun. Sure I will go with you." She replied.
"Okay. Can I come by your house at 5:30 on Friday? I was thinking we could walk to the dance to give us a chance to talk." Dustin suggested.
"That sound great. Talk to you Friday." Audrey said. Dustin walked back over by the rest of the boys. They had been watching the entire time, but Dustin didn't even realize.
"What did she say?" Mike asked.
"She said yes." Dustin replied.
"Good for you Dustin." Will said.
"Your turn Lucas. I had to think about it for awhile, but I think I found someone for you." Mike said.
"Oh no. Who is it?" Lucas asked.
"Reeva Robertson" Mike replied.
"Why her?" Lucas asked.
"She is part of the safety squad and clearly Lucas is careful. He was very stubborn about believing that Eleven wasn't dangerous. She also is hardworking and never gives up to achieve straight A's in honors classes. Lucas worked his but off to try and find Will." Mike explained.
"We would be a great couple I think, but I'm scared she will reject me. Lucas replied.
"You could ask her without actually talking to her. Mike suggested.
"How would I do that." Lucas asked.
"Duh. Write her a note." Dustin said.
Lucas stated, "Ok that sound better."
"Hey, why did I have to ask in person?" Will asked.
"Cause you need to talk more." Dustin said.
Mike agreed, "Yeah. It was good for you Will."
Will replied, "Well I wish I would have thought to write a note." The boys spent the rest of recess helping Lucas write his note to Reeva. The note read: We seem a lot alike. I would love to get to know you better. Dance? Lucas Sinclair.
Lucas put the note in Reeva's locker after recess and headed to class. At the end of the day Lucas walked by Reeva's locker on his way home. Reeva flashed him a big smile and began to walk quickly to catch up with him and the boys. Reeva told Lucas that she would love to go to the dance and get to know him better. Lucas asked he rif she wanted to walk with Dustin and Audrey and she said yes.
The three boys realized Mike was a pretty awesome matchmaker. They all four had dates and were ready for the dance. Mike was proud of his date finding skills. He was hesded home to tell Eleven the good new that the boys were coming to the dance too.
