Mike dragged Eleven all the way to a line for a tall roller coaster. The line was extremely long and the wait was thirty minutes, but they decided to wait it out. The adults took Holly to ride the cute teapots that went in a circle. Eleven secretly wished she had went with them, because she was scared to ride.
"Umm..Mike I'm not so sure about this." El said.
"Why?" Mike asked.
El replied, "Well it's super high with steep hills and goes crazy fast."
"It's way more fun when you're riding it. If you wanna know the truth I always get nervous before I ride a roller coaster and I've been on many of them. Once you get on it you are glad you did." Mike explained.
"If you say so Mike." El said.
"If you don't wanna go we can get out of line Eleven. I will not be upset with you." Mike said.
Eleven replied, "No, I trust you. You have never lied to me about anything before, so I bet I will have a great time riding this roller coaster."
"Besides I'll be right here if you get scared. You can hold my hand if you want." Mike explained.
"I might just take you up on that." El said.
El began to get even more nervous as they neared the front of the line. Mike was starting to get jumpy and excited to ride. A man helped them into their seat on the coaster and El grasped Mike's hand. Before she knew it the coaster took off up the first hill and Eleven closed her eyes until they reached the top. The coaster went down and El squeezed Mike's hand, so hard it almost turned purple. She realized that it was fun and let go of Mike's hand. Both of them put there hands up laughing the rest of the ride.
"Woah. That was fun." El stated.
"What did I tell you. I knew you'd like it." Mike replied.
Mike and Eleven traveled all around the park riding two more coasters, a log ride, the scrambler, a ride with a big drop, and El's favorite a ride that when in a full circle in the air. They decided to ride the tunnel of love as their last ride before lunch. Mike placed his arm around Eleven as they went through on the boat and she laid her head on his shoulder. It was a tunnel with soft music, hearts, and Cupid. There were heart arrows everywhere.
Mike kissed El on the cheek and whispered, "Thanks for riding all these rides with me princess. You are the best girlfriend a guy could ask for." El smiled at his words.
They met everyone else for lunch at a small restaurant inside the park. Mike and El finished before the others and decided to go to the gift shop. Eleven talked Mike into buying t-shirts he thought were girly, but he wouldn't tell El. He decided that he owed her for riding everything he wanted. They came out of the gift shop wearing their new Disney themed shirts. Mike's red shirt read "Mickey loves" with an arrow pointing towards El. Eleven's pink shirt read "Minnie loves" with an arrow pointing towards Mike. The other laughed when they walked out of the gift shop even Hopper.
Karen and Ted decided to take Holly and Hope back to the kids area to give Mike and Nancy time to hang out together. Eleven went to ride rides with her parents.
"So Nance. Does Eleven ever talk about me to you?" Mike asked.
Nancy replied, "Yeah. All the time. Why?"
"Well what does she say about me?" Mike asked.
"Oh no. That's secret girl talk." Nancy replied.
Mike replied, "Come one Nancy."
"Sorry little bro. It's sister code." Nancy stated. Mike started to walk with his head down trying to get the best of Nancy and it worked.
"Fine Mike. She tells me a lot about wanting a future with you. She tells me about wanting to raise your children. El wants to be with you for the rest of her life. She tells me she can't wait to marry you. I asked her all about honeymoons in detail and she got super excited. Therefore, you better plan a damn good one bro." Nancy explained.
"Can't I at least get a bit more detail than that?" Mike asked.
Nancy replied, "Nope. I've already broken sister code, but I will say no more. You can't guilt trip me this time."
"Thanks for the information Nance." Mike said.
Nancy replied, "No problem little bro."
Meanwhile El was going through some haunted attraction clutching both Hop and her mom's hand. Hopper was laughing, because he didn't think it was scary at all. Secretly, Terry was as scared as Eleven was but she was still having fun with her family. All three group rode a few more rides before meeting at the cars to go to the condo.
When, they arrived at the condo everyone else went inside to get ready to go to bed and Mike snuck out to the bait store. He bought two flashlights, two nets, and a flower lei. He returned and everyone else was asleep except Eleven who was anxiously waiting for Mike's return. Mike tiptoed into their room and grabbed El by the hand telling her to be quiet. He leaded her out to the beach which was deserted.
"Mike what are we doing?" She asked.
"Something I think you will like since you love animals so much. Close your eyes." Mike said. She did as he told her to and he placed a lei around her neck a flashlight in one hand and a net in the other. He folded her to open her eyes and she did.
"What's all this for?" She asked.
Mike replied, "We are gonna search for ghost crabs. There crabs that blend in with the sand. They are almost impossible to find without a flashlight. You might need the net to catch them. We can catch a few to look at and let them go when we are done. And ummm...the lei is beautiful flowers for a beautiful girl."
"Aww Mike. I love you my handsome prince. These crabs seem cool let's catch some." El said.
They walked up and down the beach not finding any when all of a sudden both of them flashed their lights in opposite directions and caught one. They both held their ghost crabs allowing it to crawl in their hands. Eleven loved the crab she thought it was unique yet beautiful. Mike and El sat down in the sand letting their crabs go to watch the gorgeous view. El leaned her head on Mike's shoulder for awhile and then all of a sudden jumped onto his lap. He smiled and she planted a kiss on his lips and he kissed back. She gave him a huge hug as they continued kissing. Both of them became sleepy, so they headed inside.
El was almost asleep when she realized she forgot something she leaned over and kissed Mike on the cheek.
"Thanks for always thinking of me. I had an amazing day with you babe." El said.
It was the first time Mike had ever been called babe. He liked it, but he wondered where she heard that. He decided it was probably something Nancy said.
The next morning everyone was eating breakfast when Hopper handed Eleven a gift in wrapped white wrapping paper. Everyone was confused about what the gift was for.
"Open it El. It's from your mom and me." Hop said.
"Ok. Thanks Hop." El replied.
El ripped off the wrapping paper and opened the box. A pair of white heels, a pearl necklace, a white hair flower, and a sash that said maid of honor. El was confused, but everyone else's mouths dropped with surprise. She pulled out a note that said if you haven't figured it out yet your mom and I are getting married and you are the maid of honor. Tears began to come to El's eyes and Mike gave her a side hug to comfort her.
"What's wrong Eleven?" Terry asked.
El replied still crying, "I never expected to meet my parents and now they are getting married. My family is complete this is all I've ever wanted."
"I'm so happy that I have a daughter to love." Hop said.
"Me too. I always knew you were out their Eleven." Terry agreed.
"I love you guys you are the best parents ever. I love you too Mr. and you guys are the best. Nancy and Holly I love you and you are the most amazing sister. I love Hope and I'm so proud to be considered her aunt. Mike I love you and you are the best boyfriend a girl could ask for. I can't believe I went from no family to an amazing family that fills a whole room." El explained.
replied, "Thanks Eleven. I'm happy to have gotten to raise you for the last few years. I've enjoyed spending time with everyone on vacation and I'm sad it the last day but let's go have fun at the arcade."
They all headed to the arcade ready to play a bunch of games. There cars were packed ready to head home straight from the arcade. Mike and Eleven were each given fifty tokens. Both of them ran around playing games all around the arcade. Agreeing to save their last ticket for a final game of Mario against each other. Nancy let Holly help her play a game of skeeball. The Wheelers and Hoppers sat in a booth chatting about the wedding plans while the kids played games.
El decided her favorite game involved a lever she pulled down and a spinner spun giving her a certain number of tickets. Mike loved the moving basketball hoop shooting game. He also liked the game where you watched movie and shot the zombies on screen. El headed to turn in her tickets while Mike played his last few games. Eleven bought a cool lab coat with her tickets to give to Mike to thank him for the amazing trip with him. She knew he'd like it since he loved science. Mike bought a book with a bunch of fairy tales in it for Eleven with his tickets. They met each other at the Mario game.
"This is for you to thank you for the amazing trip." They both said at the same time holding out their gifts. They each took the gift from one another and thanked each other.
Their final game was Mario and they each inserted a token. The game was long and intense. Both of them were in the game until the very end. Eleven beat Mike by about twenty points. Mike was surprised.
"Hey you beat me at my best game." Mike stated.
El replied, "Well, I guess video games are my thing too."
Both of the, fell asleep for the whole ride home. Both of them were exhausted from the late nights and early mornings. All three days were filled with fast paced fun. After a long drive they arrived home and unpacked. They both layed in the fort to talk about their vacation, but they fell asleep together in less than five minutes. The next day was the second to last day of summer and Eleven had been invited to an end of summer sleep over party at Audrey's, so Mike invited the boys for a sleepover at his house. Both of them were well rested and couldn't wait to see what the night would bring.
