"We'll be okay, you know?" Mike suddenly said, "I won't let any bad men hurt you."
Five grinned at him before teasing, "I feel like I'm the one with the force."

"Dada," A small girl cried as she fell down - the cries alarming her father, who judging by the sound of her could've assumed that a small boulder had dropped on her.
"Sarah?" He said rushing over to the sobbing child, "What's the matter? Aye, don't cry, sweetheart."
With a sniffling nose, Sarah looked up to her dad and pouted, "I-I hurt."
Hopper kissed her forward, trying to neglect a forming smile - as she was acting so cute. "I know, baby, it's not right, is it?"
The small girl shook her head. "How about... I arrest the ground for doing this to you!" He announced with fake fury, making the girl giggle, "I'll avenge my daughter and I'll put away that cement for life!"
Sarah giggled again and jumped onto her dad, making him fall to the ground, "I help to Dada. I put the bad guys away."
"You do, huh?" He chuckled, "You're my partner then I suppose?"
Eagerly nodding, Sarah babbled, "Detective Rabbits!" (but both words sounded nothing like they should but being used to it but by now Hopper understood).
"Rabbits?"
"Yep!" Sarah stated as if it was obvious, "Hop, hop, hop." The girl stood, having completely forgotten she even fell and began to hop around their yard, with her hands resembling bunny ears against her head.
Hopper sat up, admiring his only daughter but as he did he felt the tears well up. Not even a month prior was his daughter diagnosed with cancer - not like she acted as if she was sick though - and unbeknownst to him, he would lose her no less than 4 months later, which would destroy him beyond repair.
"C'mon, dada, the bad men are getting away!" Sarah turned to him, obliviously.
"Oh, they are?" Jim wiped his eyes, picking himself up and running straight to her with his arms up (resembling a knockoff Dracula) and a cackle leaving his mouth, "Not for long!"
"Five?" She heard Mike shout, while her shoulders began to shake.
"Slap her," Dustin suggested but received a smack right back for it.
"He's not going to slap her, you lunatic!" Lucas rolled his eyes, as Mike continued to shake her.
"Mike?" She weakly croaked.
"You're awake!" He exacerbated her already draining headache, making her wince, "Sorry."
"I-I saw something," Five told him quietly.
"Saw what?" Mike furrowed his eyebrows - wondering if it was to do with Will.
"Dada," She smiled wholeheartedly.
"What do you mean?" He asked in a combination of concern and curiosity.
"We hopped," Five giggled, "we were so happy." Mike looked to his friends in confusion - them returning the same look. "I miss him, Mike," Five shut her eyes and whimpered, "I want him back."
"I'm sorry," He whispered in her ear as he pulled her closer to him, "We'll find him, Fi, I promise you."
"Thank you, Mike," Five nuzzled her head further into his chest and shut her eyes, "Thank you."
