Oct 29th, 1984
It was about seven at night dad wasn't home yet. I was looking all over for spare change, so I could go to the arcade with my friends. I might have been to loud, because I interrupted El's tv time.
"Why are...you...making noise?" Eleven asked while I looked in the cushions.
"I need money to go to the arcade with my friends." I explained to her as I found 2 quarters.
"Arcade?" She questioned as I threw a penny I found.
"An arcade is a place where you can play video games for money." I told her as I heard someones voice on my talkie.
"Jen, do you copy? I repeat Jen, do you copy?" Dustin repeat over the walkie talkie, before I answered I shushed El.
"I copy." I answered as I walked to my room, and laid on my bed.
"What your haul? Lucas and I have 6 dollars" He told me as I noticed El was at my door listening.
" I have 8 quarters, so we are at 8 dollars" I informed him.
"I'm gonna check on Mike, over and out" Dustin announced while I was looked at my nails.
It's a far bike ride from the cabin to the arcade so I got ready to leave.
"Bye El I'll be back soon, remember don't open the door unless you hear the secret knock" I reminded her while I put my coat on.
"Bye" she mumbled under her breath.
It knew it had to be hard to have to stay inside at all times.
I got on my bike and started my ride to the arcade.
On the way there I saw Dustin first than Lucas, and Mike.
Just as we got there Will also did but in his mom's car. His mom has been really protective over him after last year.
"Hey!" We all shouted at him while we waved as well.
We all waited for Will to get out of the car before we headed in.
The first game Dustin played was dragon's lair. He was trying to beat Lucas's score.
"To slay the dragon, use the magic sword." Princess Daphne in the game instructed.
"Oh, Jesus! I'm in unchartered territory here, guys." Dustin expressed as he worried.
"Down! Down! Down!" We all told him.
"I'm going! I'm going!" Dustin responded.
We all just kept yelled at him telling him what to do.
"I'm going! I'm going! I'm going!" He repeated but this time with a smile on his face.
We kept telling him what to do.
"Okay. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up!" He shouted at us right before he died.
"No. No. No! No! No! No! I hate this overpriced bullshit! Son of a bitch! Piece of shit!" Dustin let out as he kicked the machine.
"You're not nimble enough. But you'll get there one day. But until then, Princess Daphne is still mine." Lucas teased Dustin.
"Whatever. I'm still top on Centipede" Dustin snapped back.
"I'm top on Dig Dug." I reminded them as I put a hand on Dustin shoulder.
"You sure about that?" Keith one of the worker here asked us while he stuffed his face with Cheetos.
"Sure about what?" Dustin questioned as we all ran to Dig Dug and Centipede.
"You're kidding me." I uttered as I saw Dustin no longer had top score on Centipede.
"No, no, no, no, no." We all said as we saw someone passed me on Dig Dug.
Someone name MADMAX had passed me.
"751,300 points!" Will read off.
"That's impossible." Mike added on, he was shocked we all were.
"Who is Mad Max?" I asked Keith.
"Better than you." He answered back as Dustin flipped him off.
"Is it you?" Mike wondered making him scoff.
"You know I despise Dig Dug." He reminded us then put a Cheeto in his mouth.
"Then who is it?" Lucas asked in a loud tone.
"Yeah, spill it, Keith." Dustin added.
"Spill your guts" I told him.
"You want information, then I need something in return." We all knew what he wanted, and that was a date with Nancy.
"No, no, no. No way. You're not getting a date with her." Mike told him for like the 10 time this week.
"Mike, come on. Just get him the date." Lucas basically begged.
"I'm not prostituting my sister!" Mike explained to us.
"But it's for a good cause." Lucas let him know but Dustin interrupted.
"No, don't get him the date. Know what?
He's gonna spread his nasty-ass rash to your whole family." Dustin advised Mike making me laugh.
"Acne isn't a rash and it isn't contagious, you prepubescent wastoid." Keith claimed. He probably felt proud that he's fighting with 12 year olds.
"Oh, I'm a wastoid? She wouldn't go on a date with you.You make, like, what? $2.50 an hour?" Dustin snapped back as Will walked away.
"Nice perm." Keith announced, you could tell he was getting mad.
"Gonna make fun of my hair?" Dustin questioned.
"Can you back up a bit? You smell like a dog ass." I asked covering my nose.
The argument went on, but I saw Will outside so I went to check on him.
"Will!"Are you okay?" I asked because he looked like he saw a ghost.
"Yeah. I just... I needed some air." He uttered still looking scared
"Come on. You're up on Dig Dug.Let's take that top score back, huh?" I told him as I put my arm around him.
We walked back inside and tried to get the high-score back but failed. After we ran out of money we all went home.
I rode my bike home and it took like 20 minutes.
When I made it home I did the secret knock and my dad answered.
"Hey, kid" dad greeted in a quiet voice because El was asleep.
"Hi, dad" I responded as I hanged my coat up.
"Have fun? With your friends?"dad asked as I took my shoes off.
"Yeah but someone took my top score one Dig Dug." I informed him.
"You'll get it back, I know it."dad encouraged me.
"Maybe. I'm gonna head to bed" I told him as I walked to my room.
I got to my room and turned off the light but turned my lamp on.
I fell asleep...
Ps: most parts will be longer this was just short so you could kinda see how this story is gonna be.
