"Eleven," Mike whispered. Spencer's mouth dropped open in awe as it dawned on her who the girl was.
"Mike," El mumbled back with the a smile. The boy collapsed into the girl's arms as they hugged. The two whispered sweet nothings as they cried.
They separate, large smiles resting on their faces, "I never gave up on you. I called you every night. Every night for-"
"353 days. I heard," El said quietly.
Mike's face contorted with pain, "Why didn't you tell me that you were there? That you were okay?" He asked, hurt evident in his voice.
Hopper walked up to the couple, "Because I wouldn't let her." Mike stared at the chief in disbelief.
Spencer let out a small 'Ooo' before Steve nudged her to be quiet. Hopper stood in front of El, "The hell is this? Where have you been?"
El glared at the man, "Where have you been?" She countered. A beat of silence falls between them before they embrace one another.
Once they had separated Hopper looked down at Mike, the young boy's face was red with anger, "You've been hiding her? You've been hiding her this whole time!" He exclaimed and attempted to shove Hopper back.
The chief took the boy by the arms, "Hey! Let's talk. Alone."
Mike glared at him, but allowed the older man to lead him to the other room. After they leave, El brought Lucas and Dustin into a tight hug.
"We missed you," Lucas said.
El smiled as she released them, "I missed you, too."
"We talked about you pretty much everyday," Dustin told the girl with a large smile on his face.
El's brows furrowed and stuck her fingers into his mouth, "Teeth."
"What?" Dustin asked.
"You have...teeth?" El said and retracted her hand back.
Dustin grinned once more, "Oh, you like the pearls?" He asked and let out a purr.
El jumped back slightly at the noise. Max walked past Spencer and stopped in front of El, "Eleven? Hey, um, I'm Max. I've heard a lot about you," She said with a small smile, her hand extending toward the brunette.
El looked down at the girl's hand before pushing past her. The brunette girl stopped in front of Spencer, her eyes widening in recognition.
Spencer grinned, "Hey! Shirley Temple!" She exclaimed and pulled the girl in for a hug.
El stood in shock, but returned the hug slowly and awkwardly. Once Spencer stood up, El looked her over, "Pretty lady." Spencer cackled and swatted her hand in mock embarrassment. The younger girl smiled and walked over to Joyce, the two share a hug.
