Billy's headlights got brighter and brighter, so bright that everyone had to turn their backs.

When the light finally faded, Key said, "She did it."

When it was all over, they rushed back to the Byers' house, and soon others from both sides returned. Joyce was surprised to have an extra child in the family. Key and Eleven finally get to know each other, although they are not so close, but also considered each other's family. When Key wiped the blood off Eleven's face, it was clear that Eleven hadn't cleaned up properly in the dark.

Hopper frowns after asking Key's age and all the other details about her. He invites Key to live in his cabin with Eleven, promising to protect them. Hopper also plans to meet with Dr. Owens when he gets better and get Key's birth certificate. Compared with Eleven, the government does not know the existence of Key for the time being, so she is in a much better position than Eleven, and there is no need to avoid the limelight after the birth certificate is issued. She is 16 years old, and by the way, she can also apply for admission. After all, she seems to have a lower literacy level than Mike's kids.

One day later, Hopper met Dr. Owens at a restaurant. The doctor produced two birth certificates - one for Jane Hopper and the other for Morgen Hopper.

"Morgen? Is that her original name?" Hopper paused and asked, "Jesus, what poor family did you take those children from?"

Owens was silent for a few seconds, then replied, "We asked for her sister, but the family was smart enough to give her to us." When she left that night, we tested her and found out it was the girl's twin sister who had brain defects, but Dr. Brenner kept her." He paused, as if wrestling with whether to continue. But in the end, he couldn't help it: "We spent five years basically treating her trauma, but we also found that she was different from others." Owens paused, lowered his eyes and began to eat from his plate, indicating that he could not continue the rest of the conversation.

Hopper thought about it and wrote it down.

Hopper drops the two girls off at the door of the snow party. It was only due to Eleven's strong request, but he also knows that now that Mike and Eleven have met, there is nothing he can do to prevent them from meeting. Besides, it will only be one night, and the door to the upside down has been closed, so nothing will happen.

As for Key, Hopper says it's about getting used to being a normal teenager while she's on the outside, so next year's school year can go smoothly. In fact, because Key's identity is more convenient, he can help check whether Eleven and Mike have any transgressions, and stop them as his sister. As for Key, he is completely at ease, after all, she came to town late, and does not have an old friend like Eleven.

He stopped the car and went to talk to Joyce.

Steve watched Dustin walk into the ballroom. He peeked down the door at Nancy and smiled bitterly at her smile. He was probably a really bad boyfriend at the time, and she was more comfortable with Jonathan than with each other. It's time for him to give up. Steve is about to drive away when he sees Key coming out in a light blue dress. She was wearing a black wig, which Steve thought must be an expensive one because it was shiny and supple even in the light. Joyce should have helped pick this out. Good taste, I must say. The hair is curled in waves behind the ears, and the last two strands are pinned to the back of the head with a camellia clip. I don't know whether it's the beautiful hair, some makeup, or the lighting at the door, Steve thinks that Key tonight is much more exquisite and beautiful than the last time we met. He also discovered that Key seemed to be of mixed blood. Steve backed his car up in front of her, leaned into the passenger window and asked her, "Are you here for the Snow party, too?" Key nodded and looked him up and down. Steve looked down at his outfit. He was just dropping someone off. He didn't want to be dressed up. "Why don't you go in and dance? Or talk to the Henderson guys? You remember Henderson, Dustin Henderson?" 'he asked.

Key nodded, shook his head, and softly began: "There are too many people, I don't know, don't like."

Don't like being in a room with too many strangers? Steve thought that he had heard that Key would be admitted to school next year. Maybe he had been a babysitter for a few days, which was a little interesting, and he was thinking about what to do after Key entered school.

But this can not be asked in front of Key, Steve changed the subject: "Then you so beautiful dress up for nothing?" Are you sure you don't want to dance before you go?" This time the Key is to shake his head and then nod.

"You and me, here, a dance." "She said.

Steve raised his eyebrows. "Alright." he pushed open the door and got out. "But how am I supposed to let the pretty lady make the invitation first?" "He said, extending his right hand and motioning for Key to put his hand up." Shall we?" Key nodded as usual and took his hand.

"You must smile. It's not an aristocratic party. Don't be so embarrassed." Steve patiently taught her, "And even aristocrats don't dance so wooden."

"Nobles?" Key thought about the word as she followed him and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Those rich and powerful idiots." Steve said casually. He took another small step closer to Key and put his hands around her waist. "Just like that, and then with the music... You can hear the music, right? This basketball arena is not so soundproof."

Key nodded again. She remembered Steve's words and tried to turn them into a smile.

Steve looked at her slightly stiff smile and couldn't hold back too much, laughing out: "I'm sorry, you probably don't make this face often, because it seems a little... Funny?" Key looked at him puzzled and didn't seem to find it funny. "So that's it, slowly swaying to the music.

"There are no special rules for the snow dance. You can dance in any way you like."

"I like it?" "Key asked.

"Yeah, not what Eleven likes, not what you doctors like, but what you like and feel happy about." "Steve said. He had been to so many parties and dances that this was the first time he had thought about whether he liked certain parties or dances. Some now suddenly think of really feel very boring, boring games, annoying music, and a variety of annoying dancing links, he always cooperate with friends at that time to do some of their own is not very like the move.

Key leaned over to Steve and stood on tiptoe so his mouth was closer to his ear. "I like blue." She said in an angry voice, as if she were confessing a great secret, "I like the blue of the sea?"

"Have you ever seen the sea?" Steve asked.

"I've seen... Pictures." Key said, "I want to be a seagull?"

'Why? Steve didn't know why he unconsciously lowered his voice and asked Key.

"Because seagulls can see the sea and fly!" Key took a step back, his hands still around his shoulders, his eyes shining.

Steve said apologetically, "Uh... But Hawkins has no sea." He saw her eyes cast down lost. "But California has the sea. There are also amusement parks on the beach in Los Angeles that we can take our RV to."

"We?"

"I mean I can show you the sea." Steve tried to hide his embarrassment with a smile.

"Promise? Key looked up at him expectantly. "Promise." Steve responded.

"Friends dont lie." She stared into his eyes.

"So they taught you that, too, so we're friends?" Steve laughed, but stopped, saying, "Friends dont lie," as Key did.

It took Key seven months to adjust to life in Hopper's cabin. She's not there yet, so she'll tag along to the mall after Mike and their vacation. Eleven sometimes gets angry with her about this, but they both understand why they are so different and Key always brings Eleven something to comfort her. For example, she bought Eleven a beaded hair tie, replacing the one Hopper had given her and hanging it on her hand. One time when Eleven was craving ice cream, she naively brought it back in a little tape, which ended up with milkshakes all over her bag.

Speaking of ice cream, Steve got a part-time job at an ice cream shop. He didn't get into college and was kicked out by his rich dad for a taste of life. His overalls are navy blue sailor suits, and every time Key visits, he stares at his and his colleague Robin's uniforms and gives them lots of compliments. Steve and Robin agreed that it was a shame that Key didn't work here.

Steve seems to be trying to talk to young female customers who are buying ice cream, but according to Robin's statistics, the ratio of failures to successes is countless to zero.

Robin always quips, "You haven't asked your little friends out to the movies yet."
