The next day the girls got ready for the fair in Eleven's room. All of them decided to wear a frilly black top. Each of them wore a different color knee length shirt and brown cowboy boots. Nancy had recently taught El how to do some basic makeup, so she was applying it to the other girls and herself. All of them looked beautiful and were excited to hang out with boys for the evening.
El lead the girls downstairs where Mike and the boys were waiting for them. Mike, Lucas, and Dustin's jaws dropped when they saw the girls. El smiled at Margaret when she saw how Lucas looked at her. The night was already turning out to be a success.
"Wow. You look pretty Eleven." Mike said. El smiled and he kissed her on the cheek.
"Audrey you look gorgeous as usual." Dustin stated and she kissed him.
"Margaret you look nice tonight." Lucas admitted.
Margaret replied, "Thanks Lucas so do you."
They all walked to the fairgrounds and bought some tickets. Before they rode any rides they all looked at the prize winning animals. Eventually, the couples split up for some alone time. Audrey and Dustin went into the fun house which really fits both of their comedic natures. Lucas and Margaret headed to the haunted trail and Eleven lead Mike to the Ferris wheel.
"Wow...the view is gorgeous." El said as they reached the top.
Mike replied, "Not as gorgeous as the future . It's still ok I call you that right?"
"Of course Mike. I want nothing more than for that to be a reality." El said as the ride stopped them at the top to unload riders.
"Good, because I got you something." Mike stated as he handed Eleven a little black box. El opened it and smiled. It was a shiny heart necklace.
"Look on the back." Mike insisted. The back of the necklace was engraved.
El read, "F.M.W...future . Awww…Mike I love it and you." El kissed Mike on the lips as the ride came down.
Meanwhile, Lucas and Margaret were still in line and chatting up a storm. They both seemed to like each other a lot. They talked about everything they liked including science, bike riding, and Star Wars. Lucas noticed that Margaret began to shiver and her cheeks reddened.
"Would you like my jacket? I'm not cold and it's very warm, plus you seem to be freezing." Lucas explained.
"Sure if you don't mind." Margaret said. She took his jacket and smiled as she put it on.
"You know you seem like a pretty interesting girl. Do you wanna go bike riding with me next weekend?" Lucas asked.
Margaret replied, "Sure that sounds like a lot of fun."
A few minutes later they were able to enter the haunted trail. Something jumped out a Margaret and she grabbed Lucas's hand. She let go after realizing what she did, but he took it back. Dustin and Audrey had exited the funhouse and were getting a funnel cake to share as the other too couples enjoyed their rides. Dustin put the funnel cake powder on Audrey's nose and she put it on his. They both laughed at each other.
"I missed you Dusty. We hadn't hung out in a while." Margaret stated.
Dustin replied, "I know and I'm sorry. I know next weekend is your birthday, and I have something special planned."
"Awww...Thanks babe." Audrey said and hugged him.
When Mike and Eleven got home and everyone left, El had two things on her mind. One for herself and one about Margaret.
"Mike can I ask two favors?" El asked.
Mike replied, "Of course El anything."
"First of all, can you figure out what Lucas thinks about Margaret?" Eleven asked.
"Alright. Hey, wait a minute this was that meddling you were doing. Margaret must like Lucas and you are trying to set them up." Mike stated.
El replied, "Yeah, but it's a secret."
"Ok. Well what about the other favor?" Mike asked.
"Can I have you jacket to sleep in, because it gets cold up there and it smells good." El said.
"Sure El. Come here." Mike said as he laughed. El came to home and they stood there hugging for a good five minutes.
"Goodnight Mike. Thanks for the necklace." El said as she ran up the stairs.
