"Come on guys, up and at em."

Joyce shook y/n's shoulder, the girl slowly sitting up. She reached up to the top bunk to do the same to Will, the bed empty. "Will?" The woman quickly left the room, walking down the hall.

"Jonathan? Where's Will?"

The boy turned, "What? He's not in his room?" Joyce shook her head, turning on her heel. y/n rubbed her eyes as she emerged from her room, Joyce brushing by her and opening the door to the bathroom.

"Will?" The boy looked up to his mother, his brows drawing in frustration. "What're you doing?" Joyce let out the words quietly, Will beginning to grow agitated. "Peeing?" The woman chucked, nodding before closing the door.

y/n stayed to watch the first half of the interaction before retreating to the kitchen to eat some breakfast. Will joined her eventually, the two then going to get changed into their costumes. y/n wore jeans and a very big white sweater Hopper had given her, dressed as a ghost.

Joyce came to the kid's room with the rest of the costume, assisting her son in putting it on. "Let's get this on..." Joyce helped him with his back-pack, noticing a stray wire. "Need some tape." She made her way to the desk, noticing a drawing sticking out from under a textbook.

The woman frowned, holding it up. "What's this?"

y/n immediately cast her eyes to Will, she hadn't used her power on him since that day in the arcade but it was apparent that he'd had more visions. She gave him a knowing look, the boy stuttering as he tried to come up with a lie.

"Uh nothing. J-Just a sketch for a story I'm writing."

Joyce smiled, grabbing tape. "Alright."

They quickly finished getting ready, going into the living room for a mini photoshoot. This being y/n's third or fourth time doing this, Joyce helped arrange her into poses with Will, gushing about how cute they looked.

"All right back to back." Jonathan looked through the lens of his camera. The kids followed his instructions, y/n putting on a smile. The camera flashed again, Joyce and Jonathan finally letting the two go.

y/n and Will walked up the path from the parking lot to the bike rack, the out of tune voices of their friend's singing the ghostbusters theme filling the air. Just as they sang, "who you gonna call?", the two reached the group, Will finishing the verse.

"Ghostbusters!"

They turned, Lucas grinning. "Egon!" Will hugged him, laughing. "Venkman!" Mike frowned at this, pushing the two boys apart. "Woah woah woah, why are you Venkman?" Lucas looked at his friend as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Because I'm Venkman?"

Mike shook his head, y/n feeling an argument approaching. "No, I'm Venkman." Mike stressed, y/n speaking up. "Why not two Venk-man?" Mike shook his head, rolling his eyes at the girl. "Because there's only one Venkman in real life! We planned this months ago!"

y/n took a slight step back, unsure whether she should hide behind Will or Dustin, a tough choice really. Mike continued, Lucas growing annoyed. "I'm Venkman, Dustin's Stanz, Will's Egon, y/n's a ghost because there isn't a fifth member and you're Winston!"

He finished his speech, y/n finally deciding to take a step over to Dustin, grabbing the boy's hand. "I specifically didn't agree to Winston." Lucas argued, Mike looking shocked. "Yes you did!" He retorted.
