It Only Gets Stranger *ST X Reader*

The Body Part Two

Y/n POV

I grab El's hand and bring her upstairs, with the boys following close behind.

"Okay, Lucas, Mike, Dustin, I want you three to find clothing that would work ok on her, aaaaaannnnnnddddddd, what about a wig, yeah, a wig would be good. Something that won't stand out really." I tell the boys as I drag El to Nancy's room.

"Got it." Says Dustin, who turns and goes back downstairs. Lucas doesn't say anything, he just follows Dustin.

"What are you guys gonna do?" Mike asks me.

"Makeup." I answer shortly, closing Nancy's door in Mike's face.

I apply the makeup to Eleven's face, and just as I'm cleaning up Nancy's stuff, Mike knocks on the door.

"Hey, Y/n, we got a dress and a wig that we think would work."

I open the door slightly, and Mike hands me a pink dress of Nancy's, and Lucas passes me a blond wig.

"Perfect." I close the door and walk back in the room.

"Here El. I'm gonna turn around, and once you put the dress on, I'll tie it for you, and I'll help you with the wig, okay?" I tell her, putting the wig down and handing El the dress.

"Okay." She whispers, smiling slightly.

I turn around, and let El change.

"Ready." El says.

I spin back around and look at her. I give her an encouraging smile, seeing how she's fidgeting with the end of the sleeve.

"You look really pretty." I say to her, tying the ribbon in a bow behind her.

We put the wig on, and then I walk out towards the boys.

"And here she is!" I say, throwing out one arm to exaggerate her entrance. El steps out shyly.

"Woah." Dustin whispers.

"She looks...." Lucas mutters.

"Pretty." Mike breathes. I smirk at that, and he seems to catch himself. "Good. You look pretty good."

El walks past them to the mirror hanging in the hall. "Pretty." She repeats, smiling softly.

Small time skip, brought to you by the party's awful lying on the spot skills.

Mike turns to us outside the school. "Okay, remember, if anyone sees us, act sad."

We walk to the AV Room. Mike tries the door. "It's locked." He sighs.

"What?" Lucas questions.

Dustin looks at El. "Hey, maybe you could unlock it with your power?"

Mr. Clark walks around the corner. "Boys?" He asks, looking confused.

I give him a pointed look and raise an eyebrow.

"And girls." He corrects himself. "Assembly's about to start."

"We know." Says Mike nonchalantly.

"We're just upset." I add.

"Yeah, definitely upset." Dustin butts in.

"We need some alone time." Lucas continues.

"To cry." Dustin tries.

Oh, Lord, kill me now. There is NO way that Mr. Clark is going to fall for THAT. Dustin should have kept his mouth shut. I think.

"Listen, I get it. I do. I know how hard this is. But let's just be there for Will. And then," Mr. Clark pauses to toss the AV Room keys to me. "The Heathkit is all yours for the rest of the day. What do you say?"
