"American!" Enzo yelled to Hopper as the door had opened from Joyce rapidly pressing buttons.
"C-Coming! My fire is gonna run out.. CLOSE IT! Close it now!" Hopper replied
-----------------
"J-Joyce you did it!" Murray yelled to Joyce in the control room.
"Yeah. Now let's go find my Hopper." she said grabbing Murray's arm pushing him to follow her down to where they should have been.
----------------------
"American, I thought we had your miracle.. Out of one prison into another." Enzo said
"Shut up, the door's opening. Get ready for the commi-" Hopper said stopping as he saw Joyce. He never thought he'd ever see her again.
Neither of them spoke. Neither of them had to. Joyce simply ran to him in a hug.
"J-Joyce.. Y-you.."
"H-Hopper.. Are you okay?"
"I- Yeah I'm fine, Are you?" he said noticing a cut on her forehead. "Antonov! You told me she would be safe."
"Hop... I'm fine. We gotta get you home."
"Hey Jim." Murray said shaking Hopper's hand.
"Hey Murray."
Each didn't say a word as they ran to their escape car. Until Joyce thought of something. The note Hopper sent.. or Enzo sent.. or whoever sent! It said, he looks forward to date.. Date. Did Hopper still want to go on that date?
"Hopper?"
"Yeah Joyce?" he said looking back at her as she grabbed his hand
"You uh.. you still up for that date?"
"Date?..Pretty sure we were just going to have dinner as friends..?" he replied trying to keep a straight face at Joyce's reaction.
"Oh! Oh uh yeah huh.. yeah. hah... hah ha.. yeah. Friends."
"Relax Joyce, Just messing with you. It's a date."
She stared into his eyes gripping his hand tighter and playfully hitting him with her other.
"Alright lovebirds. We're here." Murray said.
But before Joyce could get out Hopper was already there opening the door for her.
"Gentlemen. Thank you."
"I uh.."
"You uh?- mph" she was cut off as he smashed his lips down onto hers.
"I love you."
"You what?"
"Nevermind."
"I love you too."
