Movie Mayhem Stranger Things

Robin looked up as the ducklings, as she liked to the call them, came running into the store. "Can we see him?"

"Oh Steve your kids are here!"

Steve came out of the back room holding a few movies and candy to restock the shelves. "Hey kiddos, what's up?"

"We wanted to know if you and Robin could come over today after work." Will said with a smile. "We are doing a movie night. Any good movies?"

Robin smirked. "I'll help them find a movie you bring the popcorn Harrington."

"On it." Steve smirked grabbing some popcorn off the shelves and a few different candies.

"Who's all in?" Robin queried.

"Max, Dustin, Mike, Lucas, El, Nancy, Billy, Eddie, Jonathan, you two, and Me. Mom and Hop are gonna be going on a date so they said we could do a sleep over with movies."

"Sounds like a party." Steve chuckled as he watched Max and El look over a card board cut out.

"We are having pizza too!" Dustin exclaimed while Mike and Will nodded enthusiastically. Lucas was following Robin around the store looking at tapes. They picked out a heartfelt romance, an action adventure movie and a horror.

They figured start with the worse one first and work their way up as the night progressed knowing after all the hell they'd been though it wasn't going to be awesome to end the night with a horror.

"Alright see you kids after work. Tell Billy and Eddie to make sure they bring extra blankets." Robin said with a smile. "I'll keep your mom safe before the shift ends."

The kids laughed and Steve rolled his eyes.

Theoretically Robin had become the group mom while Steve was the group babysitter. Billy was the muscle and kept the kids safe when he could, Eddie was good at keeping them rounded at Hell-Fire but otherwise the kids ran circles around him. Nancy and Jonathan worked well at being the sleuths of the group.

They did well as a working unit. The older teens took 'shifts' carting the little monsters they called children between school, the arcade, and one another's houses. Billy would bring them to the pool during his shifts when he could swing it and while El and Max found Hell-Fire to be a less then enjoyable experience they would at least join in to make sure everyone stayed together.

Eddie was aware of the girls not fully enjoying the game so he bought a mini arcade game for Max and El to play with.

Joyce's or Steve's house had become group hang out. Steve had a pool and was larger but his parents didn't always want everyone there. But Joyce's was safety. Joyce and Hopper were the only adults who fully knew what was happening and they knew very well that they preferred them to be around.

The place felt right for them to be so that's where they stayed.

The two enjoyed becoming the group parents. They didn't even mind the intrusion if they were being honest.

Billy, Eddie, Steve, and Jonathan helped Hopper build a fort/treehouse in the back to give the kids a safe haven.

Robin and Nancy adored Joyce and learned to cook to help Joyce when everyone came over, which was often.

As the team got ready to leave, Max called Billy. "Maxine."

"You know I hate that Billy," she grumbled but couldn't help but smile, they'd gotten much closer after he helped save El. "Robin says bring extra blankets."

"Alright little lady." He mumbled at her. "Babe Robin requests blankets!" Billy yelled causing Max to jump in surprise.

"Noted, blankets for the queen." Eddie yelled back as he stumbled half hazardously to find the blankets.
