The younger party members are sit in the gym waiting for Johnathan and Nancy to come back. It's been minutes and they haven't returned. Mike looks down to see Eleven still holding Five. While Dustin and Lucas are staring off into space. Mike sighs and walks out of the gym to the hallways. They're not there. He walks outside.

Mike: Nancy? Jonathan?

The cars not there.

Mike: Dammit.

He walks back to the gym on a rush.

Mike: They're gone.

Dustin: What?

Mike: Nancy and Jonathan. His car's gone.

Dustin: They're probably just sucking face somewhere.
Lucas: Gross.

Mike: No. No way!

Eleven: If the situation was different maybe. Did they go with the chief?

Mike: I don't know.

Five: No.

Mike: What? Did you see them? Do you know where they went?

Five: Yes.

Mike: Where? Where did they go?

Five: Demogorgon.

Mike: Guys, guys! This is crazy. We can't just wait around.

Dustin: Mike, in case you forgot, we're still fugitives.

Lucas: The bad men are still looking for us.

Eleven: Yeah, and we don't even know where your sister is.

Mike: El can find them.

Dustin: Mike, look at him. I still think we should stick to the chief's plan.

Lucas: Exactly. We stay here, keep Fiveout of sight and keep him safe.

Eleven: That's the most important thing, remember? Besides, she's okay. She's with Jonathan.

Dustin: Yeah, and she's kind of a badass now, so...

Dustin walks away..

Mike: Well, where are you going? You just said stick to the plan!

Dustin: I am. I'm just gonna go get some chocolate pudding. I'm telling you, Lunch Lady Phyllis hoards that shit.

Mike: Are you serious?

Dustin: Five needs to be recharged!

Mike: Wait up.

Mike runs after with Lucas following.

[Byers House]

Nancy:Did you hear that?

Johnathan: It's just the wind. Don't worry. My mom, she said the lights speak when it comes.

Nancy: Speak?

Johnathan: Blink. Think of them as alarms. Is that too tight?

Nancy: No, it's fine. Thanks.

Johnathan: Nancy?

Nancy: Yeah?

She doesn't get to speak as there's banging on the door.

Steve: Jonathan? Are you there, man? It's... it's Steve! Listen, I just want to talk!

Steve's outside as the banging in the door continues. Nancy doesn't waste a second to open the door but only poking her head and hand out.

Nancy: Steve, listen to me.

Steve: Hey. Nancy, what...

Nancy: You need to leave.

Steve: No, I'm not trying to start anything, okay?

Nancy: I don't care about that. You need to leave.

Steve: No, no, no. Listen, I messed up, okay? I messed... I messed up. Okay? Really. Please. I just want to make things right. Okay? Please. Please...

Steve stammers but stops when he notices Nancy's hands.

Nancy: Hey, what happened to your hand? Is that blood? Are you...

Nancy pulls her hand away from the door.

Nancy: Nothing. It was an accident.

Steve: Yeah, what's going on?

Nancy: Nothing.

Steve: Wait a sec. Did he do this to you?

Nancy: No.

Steve: Nancy, let me in!

Nancy: No. No! No, Steve!

Steve pushes passed Nancyinside the house ready to fight Johnathan but shops when he sees the Christmas lights and Johnathan with a nail bat.

Steve: What is... What the...

Johnathan: You need to get out of here.

Steve: Whoa. What is all...

Nancy: Listen to me. I'm not asking you,

Johnathan: I'm telling you, get out of here!

Steve: What is that smell? Is that... is that gasoline?

Johnathan: Steve, get out!

Steve: Wait. What? What is going on?

Nancy who's had enough points her gun at him.

Nancy: You have five seconds to get out of here.

Steve: Okay, is this a joke?

The lights begin to flicker, only Johnathan notices.

Steve: Stop. Put the gun down.

Nancy: I'm doing this for you.

Johnathan: Nancy.

Steve: Wait. Is this a... What is this?

Johnathan: Nancy.

Nancy: Three. Two.

Steve: No, no, no! No, no!

Johnathan: Nancy! The lights.

Nancy: It's here.

Steve: Wait, what's here?

Nancy: Where is it?

Steve: Where is what?

Nancy: Where is it?

Johnathan: I don't know. I don't see it.

Steve: Where is what? Hello? Will someone please explain to me what the hell is going...

They go silent as they hear a growl. Suddenly the roof comes down. The Demogorgon.

[School]

Dustin: Found it! I knew she was hoarding it. I knew it.

Lucas: Yeah.

Dustin: Always lying, saying she's out.

Mike: Bald-faced liar.

Dustin: Eleven, I found the chocolate pudding!

Eleven: *from the gym* Okay! *to Five* Are you feeling any better?

Five nods.

Five: What's 'putting'?

Eleven: Pudding, it's...it's this chocolate goo you eat with a spoon. Don't worry,
when all this is over, you won't have to keep eating junk food and leftovers like a dog anymore. My Mom and Aunt Becky, she's a pretty awesome cook. She can make you whatever you like.

Five: Eggos?

Eleven: *giggles* Well, yeah, Eggos, but real food, too. See, I was thinking,
once all this is over and Will's back and you're not a secret anymore, we can get you an actual bed. I'd give you my room but with all the stuff in there you'd think it would be weird.

They go silent.

Eleven: My point is, they'll take care of you. We'll be like a family

Five: Will you be like my sister?

Eleven: What? No, no.

Five: Why "no"?

Eleven: Because...'cause it's different.

Five: Why?

Eleven: I mean, I don't know, I guess it's not. It's stupid.

Five: Eleven?

Eleven: Yeah?

Five: Friends don't lie.

Eleven: Well...I was thinking...I don't know...
maybe we can go to the Snow Ball together.

Five: Snow Ball?

Eleven: It's this cheesy school dance, where you go in the gym and dance to music and stuff.I've never been, but I know you're not supposed to go with your brother.

Five: No?

Eleven: I mean...you can, but it'd be really weird. You go to school dances with someone that, you know...someone that you like.

Five: A friend?

Eleven: Not a friend. Uh... uh... Uh, someone like a...

Jane can't find the right words as she takes her chance on life and closes the distance between her and Five. Kissing the boy. Square on the lips taking him by surprise but his blush can't hide the fact that he enjoyed the new affection. Eleven smile but stops once she see light from the window.

Eleven: Johnathan and Nancy. Hold on, I'll be right back. Stay here.

Eleven runs outside in hopes that they returned from the Demogorgon but is shocked to the Hawkins lab vans and an army truck. They found them.

Five is now in the cafeteria with the other party member and as they hand him a can.

Dustin: This will charge your battery right up, I'm telling you.

Eleven: Guys! Guys!

Lucas: What is it?

Eleven: They found us.

The agents check the classrooms.

AGENT: We know they're here.
Be advised, west side of the building is clear.

AGENT: Sir, we've searched everywhere. There's no sign of them.

AGENT: Nothin'. Keep it locked down.

AGENT: All right.

One of the agents reach the cafeteria and see the tray of pudding on a table.

Agent: Kitchen.

The party now runs down the hallways in hopes to evade the agents.

Eleven: How did they find us?

Mike: I don't know, but they knew we were in the gym.

Dustin: Lando.

The party turn a hallway almost to the door but it's opened by a agent.

AGENT: Got 'em!

Mike: Go, go, go, go, go!

Lucas: Come on!

They turn another hallway, more agents.

Agents: There they are. Freeze.

Mike: Back! Go back!

Eleven: Go, go! Go left!

They are soon stopped by Carol and other agents, guns pointed at them. She's ready to fire before Five glares at them, using his powers. Blood rushes down his nose but the agents all have blood running down their face from their nose, eyes and ears. They all drop to the ground. Five has killed them. But he's used too much of his power and he falls unconscious.

Eleven: Five:

Dustin: Something's wrong.

Lucas: He's just drained.

Mike: No, no, no, she won't wake up. Five!

Dustin: He's barely breathing.

Lucas: We gotta go.

Dustin and Lucas begin to lift Five but are stopped.

Dr. Brenner: Leave him. Step away from the child.

Mike: No!

Eleven: You want him, you have to kill us first.

Dustin: That's right!

Lucas: Eat shit!

The guards grab the children and obtain them as Brenner crouches down and holds Five.

Brenner: Five? Five, can you hear me? Five?

Five: Papa?

Brenner: Yes, yes, it's your papa.

Mike: Get off of me.

Dr. Brenner: I'm here now.

Eleven: Let him go! Let him go, you bastard!

Brenner: Shh, shh, you're sick. You're sick, but I'm going to make you better. I'm going to take you back home, where I can make you well again. Where we can make all of this better, so no one else gets hurt.

Five:*weakly* Bad. Bad.

The lights begin to flicker..

Dustin: Mike. Mike. Mike.

The light flashes faster making everyone except the party to look around.

Mike: Blood.

Lucas: What?

Eleven: Blood. Demogorgon.

The wall breaks apart and the Demogorgon walks out attacking the agents. Killing them.

Mike: Go, go, go, go, go!

Dustin and Lucas grabs Five's arms lifting him up as they drag him away from the noise.

Mike: Come on, come on.

Lucas: Go, go!

Eleven: Clarke's classroom!

Dustin: Hold on, we're almost there. We're almost there.
Come on. [PANTING]

They reach the classroom and Mike locks the door behind them..

Dustin: Come on. Lucas, Mike. Help, help.

Eleven: Come on, get him on the table. Just hold on a little longer, okay? He's gone. The bad man's gone.
We'll be home soon, and my mom...she'll get you your own bed.You can eat as many Eggos as you want. And we can go to the Snow Ball.

Five:*softly* Promise?

Eleven: Promise.

The Demogorgon screeches as it's drawn to more gunfire killing each one when it suddenly stops.

Dustin : Is... Is it dead?

Mike: Go, go, go, go!

Dustin: Get the wrist rocket! Get the wrist rocket now!

Lucas takes out his slingshot as Mike and Dustin hand him rocks and Eleven stares in fear at the 9 foot tall creature. Lucas sends off one rock to it but it flies of as it's it was bugs to a windshield.

Mike: Go, go, go, go, go!

Lucas does it again. It flies off.

Eleven: Go, go, go.

Dustin: Take it out now! Get the rocks, get the rocks, get the rocks!

Mike:Getting the rocks!

Lucas: Give me one.

It flies off again.

Dustin: Come on!

Mike/Eleven/Dustin Go! Go! Kill it! Kill it! Fire! Fire!Kill it! Bastard!

It flies off again.

MIKE: Kill it! Go, go, go, go!

DUSTIN: Kill it now!

Eleven: Get, get, get... Come on, kill the bastard!

Lucas: It's not working!

Dustin: Hit him again.

It flies off again. It's like shooting a rubber band at a tank.

Mike: Kill him! Keep going!

Eleven/Mike/DustinCome on! - Get, get, get...Come on, kill it! Come on! Go, go, go!

With the last rock, Lucas sends it, hitting the Demogorgon but this time he is launched to the chalkboard, not moving making the party jump back but it was the wrist rocket as Five is now back on his feet and glaring at the Demogorgon. Five begins the walk but Eleven tries to stop him.

Eleven: Five, stop!

But she is sent back by Five powers with the boys catching her.

Five stares back at Eleven. A smile on his face as his hand extended to the Demogorgon.

Five: Goodbye, El.

Five uses all he can muster and the Demogorgon begins to disappeate in flakes. They surround itself and Five as he screams out. The lights begin blaring to bright for the party.

Once the lights return to normal Eleven looks to where she last saw Five but he's snd the Demogorgon are gone.

Eleven: Five? Five?

Mike: Five!

Lucas: Five!

Dustin: Five!

Mike: Five!

Eleven:*begins to cry* Five, where are you?

Dustin: Five!

Lucas: Five?

They can't find him. By time that they try to find him in the gym. Ambulance arive and Hawkins PD as well. The party sit in the back of an Ambulance waiting for their parents. Mike's are the first and only to show.

Karen: Michael? Michael? Michael?

Once she spots them she runs over and wraps her son in a hug.

Karen: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You're okay. You're okay. Come on let's get you all to the hospital.

Mike: We're fine Mom.

Karen: Not for you, for Will. Joyce called and she found Will.

This grabs their attention as the party now know Will is safe and sound. Outside of the Upside Down.

At the hospital, The party including, Hopper, Nancy, Karen, Ted, Holly, Terry, Becky and Steve. Dustin and Lucas are sleep, Mike is looking down, in hopes that, Will is 'alive' alive, Hopper fiddling with his hat, Nancy and her parents sitting there in silence as Holly sleeps, Terry and Becky on the other stare at Jane who's sitting in the corner, her face stained with dried tears. The week was long, crazy, yet fun. Will went missing, turned out to be kidnapped by the Demogorgon, and no he's back. But why is she sad. Five. That was the other thing that swamred her mind. He was found by her and her friends when Will disappeared from, he was kept secret, he had powers to do things with his mind making him be a weapon, he told her and her friends that Will was alive, gave proof, helped locate Will, defeated the Demogorgon and he was just gone. Disappeared in front of her. She was into her thoughts so much that she didn't notice that her mother sat beside her.

Terry: Y/N.

Jane/Eleven(I give up on changing the name every so often, we all know at this point that Eleven doesn't have power but she keeps the name) is brought out of thought after hearing the name, not knowing what it was.

Jane: Huh?

Terry: Hopper and Joyce found his mother and grandmother. His name is Y/N.

Jane smiled.

Jane: It suits him.

Suddenly Johnathan bursts through the door and he smiles. Mike understands.

Mike: Guys. Guys, he's up. Will is up. Guys, Will's up.

Lucas and Dustin separate from each other quickly and stand up.

MIKE: Guys, come on.

Jane gets up and joins the boy as they run to Will's room. Like Johnathan motioned. He was alive and well.

Mike: Byers!

The party gather at his side and hug him.

Joyce: Be careful. Be careful with him.

DUSTIN: Move.

Dustin pushes his way through and hugs Will. last.

Johnathan: Go easy on him.

Mike: You won't believe what happened when you were gone, man.

Dustin: It was mental.

Lucas: You had a funeral.

Eleven; Jennifer Hayes was crying.

Mike: And Troy peed himself.

Will: What?

Eleven: In front of the whole school!

Lucas: Yes!

Will starts coughing.

Mike: You okay?

Will: It got me. The Demogorgon.

Mike: We know.

Lucas: It's okay.

Dustin: It's dead. We made a new friend.

Eleven: He stopped it. He saved us. But he's gone now.

Mike: His name's Five.

Will: Like the number?

Mike: No relation to Jane.
He's basically a wizard.

Eleven: He has superpowers. More like a Yoda.

DUSTIN: He flipped a van with his mind, and these agents were trying to shoot us-

Lucas: Yeah, it flipped over us...

Mike: Then he squeezed the brains out...

Dustin: And blood was pouring out of their faces.

Mike: It was pouring out of their eyes.

Lucas: Agents just started grabbing us and stuff...

Dustin:...shot out of the wall... -

[Timeskip/Mike's Basement/Three Months Later]

Mike: Something is coming. Something angry. Hungry for your blood. It is almost here.

Will: What is it?

Dustin: It's the thessalhydra, I'm telling you.

Lucas: It's not the thessalhydra.

Dustin: I'm telling you, it's the thessalhydra.

Mike: The thessalhydra!

Eleven: Damn it.

Mike: It roars in anger! Will, your action!

Will: What should I do? I-

Eleven: Fireball him! Fireball the son of a bitch.

Will tosses the dice and it hits the table.

Mike: Fourteen! Direct hit. Will the Wise's fireball hits the thessalhydra. It makes a painful...and then... it crumbles to the ground. Its clawed hand reaches for you one last time and, and, and... and...Lucas cuts off its seven heads, and Dustin places them into his bag of holding. You carry the heads out of the dungeon, victorious, and you present them to King Tristan. He thanks you for your bravery and service.

Dustin: Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's not it, is it?

Mike: No, there's a medal ceremony-

Lucas: Oh, a medal ceremony? What are you talking about?

Will: And...

Eleven: The campaign was way too short.

Dustin: Yeah!

Mike: It was ten hours!

Dustin: But it doesn't make any sense.

Mike: It makes sense.

Dustin: Uh, no, what about the lost knight?

Eleven: And the proud princess?

Lucas: And those weird flowers in the cave?

Mike: I don't know, it's...

The campaign is interrupted by the basement door opening and footsteps.

Johnathan: Jeez, what's that smell? Have you guys been playing games all day, or just farting?

Lucas: Oh, that's just Dustin. He farted.

Dustin has a cross look of betrayal, confusion and shock.

Lucas: Dustin farted. *BLOWS RASPBERRY*

Dustin: Okay.

Lucas: Dustin farted.

Eleven: Very mature, Lucas.

Lucas blows another raspberry

Dustin: Oh.

Johnathan: Will.

Dustin: Shut up.

Johnathan: Come on.

Lucas: Dustin farted!

Dustin and Lucas begin to playfully wrestle while Mike cleans the board and Eleven stares at the tent. She smiles. In hopes that Five is okay.

Will: Bye, guys.

Mike & Dustin: Bye, Will.

Eleven: See you, Will.

Eleven leaves the basement grabbing her bag from the stairs.

Karen: Jane you're leaving, are you sure you don't wanna stay, I can call Terry.

Jane: It's okay, besides Mom said she had something important to show me tonight.

Jane leaves the Wheeler house and bikes home. Once home she walks inside.

Jane: Mom? Aunt Becky? I'm home.

Terry: We're upstairs.

Jane rushes upstairs and tried to follow the noise. It's from the guest bedroom.

She walks inside and shes in shock. It's different. It snapped in her mind. They made it for Five.

Terry: We fixed it up for him when he comes back.

Jane: You think he will?

Becky: Sweetie, he found Will in that Upside Down place which was honest to God creepy, if Will could survive it Five can too.

Jane: What makes you guys think he's in the Upside Down.

Terry: Only logical explanation. When he returns he can live with us. But I swear of I ever catch you two doing something I'm going to give you more wrath than the Demogorgon.

[Hawkins Police Department]

Callahan: You leaving already, Chief?

Hopper: *grabbing cookies and cakes* Oh, come on, you think I actually wanted to come to this thing? I was just hungry.

Powell: Oh, yeah, that's the spirit.

Hopper: Well, your wife doesn't have time to cook for me, you know what I'm saying?

Flo: Merry Christmas, Hop.

Hopper drives out of the city to 'Mirkwood'. He exits his car lighting another cigarette. He walks into the woods and finds a box he built. He digs into his jacket and takes out some saran wrap pack of eggos and puts them into the box along with the snacks from the station.

[Byers home]

Joyce: Mmm.

Johnathan is currently filming Will with his new camera.

Johnathan: What you got there?

Will: That one of yours?

Johnathon: Looks pretty big.
Be careful. You'll break it.

He then leave the living room to the dining room as Joyce is putting dinner on the table.

Joyce: What are you... What are you doing?

Jonathan: Documenting.

Joyce: Oh, why?

Johnathan: Because...it looks great.

Joyce: Oh, this is just so overcooked. And look, the potatoes are runny.

Johnathan: Mom.

Joyce: They're so runny.

Johnathan: Mom, it's gonna be great.

Johnathan puts his camera down and Will walks to the table.

Will: It's definitely an Atari.

Joyce: An a-what-i?

Will: The green present. It's an Atari. I felt Dustin's today, it's the same exact weight.

Joyce: Really? Well...

Will: Yeah.

Joyce: We'll have to see, won't we?

Will gets up from the table.

Joyce: Hey, no more snooping.

Will: No, I forgot to wash my hands. I'll be right back.

Joyce: Okay.

Joyce: He's washing his hands?

Will stares at his reflection in the bathroom mirror, suddenly he feels something in his throat. He coughs it up. It's a weird slug. It goes down the drain. The lights flicker and Will sees himself in the Upside Down. It flickers back and he's back in the real world. He rinces his face and dries it off. 'It's in my head, just a flashback'

Will comes back to the dining room.

Jonathan: Thanks.

Joyce notices the look on Wills face.

Joyce: Are you okay?

Will: Yeah, I'm okay.

Jonathan: Mmm. Very good, Mom. Mmm. Hey, Mom. Did Will tell you about, uh, the game?

Will: Oh, yeah.

Joyce: No. What game?

Will:I threw a fireball at him and...dead.

Joyce: Wait, what is... You mean, this is...

Will: No, it's just Dungeons & Dragons.

Joyce: Dungeons & Dragons. Right.

Will: It's fun.

And that is season 1 of Strsnger things, I think I did pretty good with this season. Season 2 comes up next, now, I will definitely do season 4, but after that it is confirmed that there's a season 5 and that that season will be the final season. I plan to either make my own season after that just either shorts or a new plot line. This has been so much fun writing and I hope to complete this series soon snd get onto the others. Ever since I did the fist chapter I made a chapter every night. Another thing thank you all so much for this, 1.5k reads and it was before I finished the first season.

So anyways until next time. See ya.
