(Season two is out! It's awesome!)
It was October and it was close to Halloween Mike's favorite holiday. Mike loved candy, dressing up, bonfires, and haunted houses. El and Mike decided to be Mario and Princess Peach for Halloween, because Mike loved the game. El loved the color pink which Princes Peach wore, so she was happy with his choice. The other boys were going as zombies which Dustin suggested. The boys were chilling in the basement on a cold Friday night.
"You ready for tomorrow night Mike?" Dustin asked.
Mike replied, "Actually I don't think I can go."
"What!? Why!?" Lucas asked.
"El won't like it. It's scary and might remind her of Papa." Mike explained.
El asked, "Wait. What are you talking about?"
"Haunted houses. They are really scary, but pretty fun." Will explained.
"I want to go Mike. You are there it won't be too scary." El stated.
Mike said, "Alright guys we'll go since El's okay with it."
The next night El stole Mike's sweatshirt, but she knew he wouldn't care. Afterall, Eleven knew it would be cold and his hoodie made her feel safe and warm. The had to wait in a long line to get into the haunted house. Eleven was bored waiting, yet buzzing with nervous energy. She laid her head on Mike's shoulder to try and calm down. Soon enough it was their turn to go in.
The haunted house was dark, cold, and creepy like the lab. Eleven was having scary flashbacks, but she remembered Mike was there and she was safe. A clown jumped out at El and she ran. Mike had to run super fast to catch up with her. Mike grabbed her hand as they walked through a creepy doll hospital room. Dustin and Lucas laughed through the whole thing, because they weren't scared easily. El looked petrified, so Mike decided to give her a piggyback ride through the rest. She screeched as Mike walked her through fake hanging animal corpses. Someone came up behind her and tapped on her back. El screamed and fell of Mike's back. Mike chased El all the way out of the haunted house.
El apologized for running, but Mike said it was fine. Mike really did have a lot of fun, because it was surprisingly enjoyable chasing someone through a scary place. Mike pulled Eleven into a warm hug and kissed her on the cheek. El and Mike were waiting for Dustin and Lucas for a whole ten minutes. Mike hadn't realized they had gotten so far ahead. El stared into Mike's big brown eyes. She leaned in and kissed him and he returned the favor. They kept kissing back and forth until they just couldn't pull away from each other. Although, Dustin ended the moment when he came out laughing really loudly.
The next night was Halloween and the kids were excited. El put on her Princess Peach dress and put on some blush and lipgloss. Mike had his Mario outfit on and Jonathan took pictures of them. They all got a group picture and headed out to get candy. Like most kids they knew which part of town had the good candy.
"Alright El. We are gonna ring the doorbell and when they answer we all say Trick or Treat." Mike explained.
"Trick or Treat?" El asked.
Mike replied, "That's right. Then we will get candy you can put in your bucket."
"Ok Mike. Sounds fun." El stated.
"I love you princess." Mike said.
The kids got a bunch of good chocolate to eat. El had a great time and her bucket was full. Mike and Eleven were walking home when she stopped suddenly. She was wearing pink heels and her feet were killing her. Graciously, Mike offered to carry her wedding style for the rest of the walk. He carried her into the house and placed her down.
Mike read a note that was placed on the table, "We had an emergency business trip to go on. We took Holly. Nancy will be there at 10 t stay with you. It's 9:30 El, I'm gonna go change before Nance gets here."
"Ok love you Mario." El said winking. When, Mike got all the way down the stairs, El ran to the phone. She dialed Nancy…..
