Present time, 1984

Phoebe dug through every drawer in her room and still couldn't find her piggy bank. She knows she put it somewhere she just doesn't remember where. She threw her clothes on the floor of her now messy room as she dug through her black dresser, desperately trying to find it before she leaves, "Come on, where the hell is it?"

She closed the final drawer of the dresser in frustration before getting up and glancing at her room until her eyes landed on her closet. Of course, that's where I put it. She practically ran over to it and yanked it open. She glanced at the top shelf and sighed in relief once she saw the pink pig with lots of doodles written on it.

She grabbed it and ran over to her bed, not easy when the whole room is filled with clothes and other stuff. She pulled the bottom cap off and dumped out all the change. She stuffed all of it into her jacket pocket before she heard a static noise.

"Phoebe, Do you copy?" Dustin's voice sounded from the radio. Oh, great now I need to find my radio in all this mess. "Phoebe? You there?" She heard again. She threw the piles of clothes until she found it. She grabbed the radio and pressed the talk button "yes, I'm here. I have about ten dollars, what about you guys?"

"Between Lucas and I, we have six" Dustin explains, "but we still can't contact Mike, can you try?"

Phoebe sighed, she knew exactly what channel he was on, "yeah, but you need to call Will"

"Fine, see you soon"

She changed the radio to the channel that Mike is always on. It's the same on Eleven used to contact her and the Upside Down a year ago, "Mike it's me, Phoebe, do you copy?"

"Yeah. I copy" he answered "What are you doing on this channel again?" She asked, already knowing why he was on it. She hears him sometimes through the radio, she knows it's impossible but she can sometimes feel Eleven too. However, anytime she gets close to finding her location, it disappears. She hasn't told anyone, especially not Mike.

"Nothing..." Mike replied.

"Okay, well, Lucas, Dustin, and I have sixteen bucks in total, what's your haul?" Phoebe told him.

"Shit - Shit! I don't know yet!" he yelled, making her frown her brows in confusion, he had all day to look, "what? How do you not know?" She question.

"Hold on!" He yelled again.

She sighed and put the antenna down on my radio. She then grabbed her jacket with all the change and put it on. She glanced at herself in the mirror, somewhat satisfied with her outfit. She exited her bedroom and headed downstairs.

She walked over to the kitchen to find both of her (adoptive) parents in there. "Hey, I'm heading out to the Arcade with the boys" she informed them.

"Ok, Honey, have fun and don't be late!" Phoebe's mom said but Pheobe was already leaving for the garage. She opened the garage door and got on her bike, peddling to the Arcade.

I know you might be confused. The night they found me and I told them the truth, the Wayne family, the richest family in the neighborhood, took me in.

That night I learned the truth about what happened. I time traveled. To the future! The future of all things. Well, the desire to never go back was taken to the next level, I did leave that place, and that year.

That's how I met Eleven. She knew me through Dr. Brenner's story. Of how thirteen was a bad number, disobeyed orders and killed people. They were forbidden from bringing up that number ever again.
