El wanted to cry. It was only the first week of summer vacation and Nancy was leaving. Jonathan had bought a house a few miles away from the Wheeler's house and Nancy was moving in. She felt like she was losing her sister. Over the short time El had lived with the Wheelers her and Nancy grew super close.

"I'm gonna miss you Nance." El said.

"I'm gonna miss you too El. You can call or visit me anytime." Nancy replied.

El stated, "You've helped me so much with all kinds of personal stuff. You are my sister no matter how long I've known you."

"Eleven you are the sister I've always wanted. I'm leaving you your own private bathroom away from the men in the house. Trust me you'll thank me later. Here open this later it's a care package." Nancy explained.

El replied, "Thanks Nancy."

"Oh. Here this is my music box. Mike said you took a fancy to it, when he was hiding you in the basement still. Well I gotta go take my stuff to the house." Nancy said.

Nancy left and the phone rang a few minutes later. It was Dustin's girlfriend Audrey asking if El wanted to come to her sleepover. Eleven decided it would be fun and agreed to come. MIke walked up to El's room as she was packing a bag.

"Ummm….El whatcha doing?" Mike asked.

"Packing. I'm going to a sleepover at Audrey's, so I can get to know the girls I'm gonna go to school with. It was nice of her to invite me, since I have only met her a few times with Dustin." El explained.

Mike replied, "Well this will be a different experience for you."

"What do you mean?" El asked.

"Well, Nancy had a bunch of sleepovers when she was our age. All the girls did was play truth or dare, tell secrets, and talk about boys." Mike explained.

Eleven replied, "Oh. That sounds fun! I can't wait I love truth or dare, Nancy and I played a few times."

"Fun. It was pure horror. The endless giggles and sound of feet running around the house all night. I got zero sleep during Nancy's sleepovers." Mike said.

"Oh Mike. You're funny." El said.

Eleven got to Audrey's house and there were two other girls there. They were

all sitting in a circle and she joined them. She sat down next to Audrey.

"El this is Margaret and Stephanie." Audrey said pointing to each of the girls.

"Hi El. So I hear you are going to school with us next year. Do you plan on doing any extracurriculars?" Stephanie asked.

"Extracurriculars?" El asked.

Margaret replied, "You know like choir, AV club, sports, and book club. I sing in choir, compete in scholar bowl, and am president of book club."

El said, "Oh I love to read and sing, so maybe choir and book club. Also, my boyfriend Mike is president if AV club, so I will probably join."

"Stephanie and I are both cheerleaders, but we also do book club." Audrey stated.

"Cool. School sounds fun." El stated. They all chatted about school and summer plans. The girls played tRuth or dare for awhile, but then it was time for the best part boy talk.

"So El how's it going with Mike?" Audrey asked.

El replied, "Good. My new secret nickname is future . How are things with Dustin?" The girls giggled.

"Great. We have a date on Friday. How's Eric, Stephanie?" Audrey asked.

Stephanie replied, "Ok I guess. Jenny, Matthew, him, and I went to the movies last week. I don't think he likes me though."

"I bet he does. You seem like a great girl. I'm sure you will get together soon." El said.

Stephanie replied, "Thanks El. Margaret have you decided to toughen up and go after you know who."

"Who?!" Audrey and El asked.

Margaret said, "ummm...ummm…it might be…ummm...Lucas."

"You like Lucas! You are like the perfect girl for him. You are similar yet different. You guys should come to my house Saturday, when the boys play D&D. Audrey can see Dustin and We can get Lucas to see how amazing Margaret is. Maybe we can go on a triple date. Stephanie you seem like you could be helpful with this you should come to." El explained.

Margaret replied, "I don't know I'm kind of shy. Well….why not? What time Saturday?"

El answered, "How about 1:30?"

The girls all replied, "Sure." The rest of the night was eventful filled with games and movies. All the girls stayed up until 4 am. El had an amazing first sleepover, but she missed Mike.

When, El got home she ran downstairs as Mike stood up from the couch. Eleven ran and jumped into Mike's arms and he fell back onto the couch. She hugged him tight as Mike held her gently.

"Hey El, what's all this excitement for?" Mike asked.

"Nothing. I just missed my future husband." El said as she kissed him on the cheek. A smile appeared on Mike's face. Mike kissed her on the lips as he picked her up and placed her on the ground. Mike grabbed Eleven's hand.

"Cmon El. Let's go relax in the fort and you can tell me about your first sleepover." Mike suggested.

"Ok Mike." El replied. El told Mike about her sleepover in detail until she fell asleep her head resting on his shoulder. Mike payed there daydreaming about his future with El.
