"Micheal! Can you come down here?!"
Mike ran down the stairs quickly, not wanting to get in trouble. "Hey mom what's up?" Karen motioned to the couch where his two siblings were sat. He sat next to them and sighed. "Did we do something wrong?"
Ted shook his head, "no Nancy. You guys did nothing wrong." Mike looked around before speaking up, "then what's going on?" Karen smiled at Ted, "you wanna tell them or should I?" Ted nodded at her, allowing her to keep talking. "Well, we've decided to adopt a child!"
Those six words could make or break a family. That did both to the Wheeler family. Karen and Ted thought something was missing. Mike hated his idea but Nancy loved it. Holly was oblivious to everything.
"Mom! I think you have enough kids!"
"How old are they?" Nancy was optimistic about everything, always looking at the bright side of everything. "Shes Mike's age, 14." The three siblings looked at each other.
"She?!"

"She wants to adopt. They're picking her up tomorrow." Mike wheeler was in his basement complaining to his friends. "What's her name?! How old is she? What does she look like?!" Mike rolled his eyes at Dustin's questions.
"Maxine, 14, and ugly as fuck! She's short, has red hair, stupid blue eyes. She just came to the stupid center out of fucking California. They said she was abused then ran away to the police station. They shipped her to Hawkins. I already hate her."
Dustin looked at Mike again, "please don't tell me shes gonna start hanging with us." Mike shook his head furiously, "I'd rather be taken by the demogorgon than let her hang with us! No offense." Will shook his head and laughed softly, "none taken." El just held onto his arm.
There was a knock on the basement door. "What mom?!"
"Micheal! We have to re-do your room!"
All the kids looked at each other with confused faces. "What?!"
