"Mike, do you copy? Mike do you copy?" Dustins voice rang through Mike's ears as he turned on his walkie.

"Yeah, I copy" Mike echoed.

"Lucas and I have 6 bucks total, whats your haul?"

Mikes eyes widened as he panicked. He had totally forgotten to gather coins for the arcade."Shit! Uh- I don't know yet!"Mike stuttered as he went to stand up.

"What do you mean you don't know yet?" Dustin asked, clearly angry.

"Hold on, call Will!" Mike exclaimed as he ran to find some change.

"To slay the dragon, use the magic sword!" The game spoke

"Oh, Jesus, i'm in uncharted territory here guys!" Dustin spoke

"Down! Down!"

"No, left!"

"Don't listen to him, go down!"

"Ok, ok, shut up, shut up, shut up!" Dustin shouted.

The knight then died from the dragon. Typical."No, no, no! I hate this overpriced bullshit! Son of a bitch! Piece of shit!" Dustin shouted, kicking the game.

"You're just not nimble enough, but you'll get there one day. Until then, Princess Daphne is still mine!" Lucas bragged, obviously mocking Dustin. Dustin rolled his eyes, "Whatever. I'm still tops on Centipede and Dig-Dug."

"You sure about that?" The 4 boys turned their heads to an arcade employee who had spoke up.

"Sure about what?"

"No. No, no, no, no, no!" Dustin mumbled, running across the arcade to check Dig Dug. "No, shit!" He screamed, seeing that he was not only in second, but in third.

"751,300 points!" Will exclaimed. "Read the next one" Keith smirked. Four pairs of eyes trailed to the score underneath it "751,000 points?" Dustin screamed, causing people in the arcade to stare.

"That's impossible!" Mike responded. Dustin looked at the employee, Keith, in disgust.

"Who's MadMax and Jessiebes?" Keith scoffed, "Better than you"

"Is it you?" Will says while Dustin flips him off.

"Then who's JayBird?" Lucas pointed out. "Exactly, and you know I despise Dig Dug" Keith argued.

"Well then who are they?"

"Yeah, spill it Keith!"

"You want information? Well, then I need something in return..." Keith stared at Mike. Mikes eyes widened, "No. No, no, no way! You are not getting date with her!"

"Mike, come on, just give him the date!" Lucas tried to convince Mike.

"I'M NOT PROSTITUTING MY SISTER!"

"No, you know what, Mike? Don't get him the date, because he's going to spread his nasty ass rash to your whole family!" Dustin retorted.

"Acne isn't a rash, and its not contagious, you prepubescent wastoid!" Keith fired back.

Will began to distract himself as he turned to look around the arcade, no longer wanting to be part of the silly bickering. As Will turned, he saw snow flowing down lightly to the ground as he heard rumbling in the distance.Will furrowed his eyebrows.

He turned to look at his friends. "Hey. Hey guys, do you see the-" Will cut himself off. His friends were gone. The employee was gone. Everyone in the arcade was gone.

The door to the arcade was suddenly swung open with a gust of wind. Will stares with wide eyes as he walks out of the arcade. The sign, the building and even the cars outside were covered in vines. Thunder crashed as red flashed through the sky, revealing a... shadow?

Will was confused, but that doesn't mean he wasn't scared. No, Will was terrified. The boy felt frozen as he watched the shadow loom over Hawkins before its sight landed on Will.

It was about to come storming after him when something- or someone-cut him off. "Will!" Will gasped, snapping out of his trance as he turned around to see Mike, staring at him worriedly.

"Are you ok?"Will turned around to see everything back to the way it was. Full of people. No vines, no red storms, and no shadow.

"Yeah, I just... I needed some air"

"Well come on. You're up on Dig Dug. Lets take that top score back huh?" Mike said, swinging his arm around Wills shoulders and leading him back inside the arcade.
