We told Steve about Dart and how he molted into being the size of a dog, ate Dustin's Mom's cat, and that we knocked it into the cellar. Before we started our trip to Dustin's house, we went by Steve's to get the nail-bat. We told him the plan of going in there and killing him.
"Wait a sec. How big?" Steve asked us.
"First it was like that." Dustin said to him as I made the shape of an 'L' with my hands.
"Now he's like this." I said as I moved my hands up to about 12'' apart.
"I swear to God, it's just some little lizard, okay?" Steve told him.
"It isn't a lizard." I defended myself.
"How do you know?"
"Because it ate Dustin's cat! We had to bury the cat and clean up the blood. So, I know it isn't fucking lizard." I said as I looked over to Steve. He slightly nodded his head as I looked back to the road. We finally arrived to Dustin's and we all got out. Steve and Dustin went to the trunk to get the bat, and we made our way to the cellar. Steve stood there, looking at the door, while we stood next to him.
"I don't hear shit." He told us.
"He's in there." Dustin told him. Steve hit the door with the bat.
"All right, listen. I swear, if this is some sort of Halloween prank, you're dead." Steve said.
"It's not, I promise Steve." I told him.
"You got a key for this thing?" He asked Dustin. He handed Steve the key and unlocked it. Steve opened the door and took the flashlight from Dustin.
"He must be further down there. Y/n and I will stay up here in case it tries to escape." Dustin told Steve.
"No, I wanna go down there." I grabbed my baton from my bag.
"That stupid baton isn't going to protect you." Dustin told me.
"Yeah, Steve might though." I said as I looked over to Steve. Steve sighed and started walking down the stairs as I followed him. We made it to the light switch and he turned it on. I saw a hole in the concrete wall and walked over to it. "Hey, Steve." I said as I turned around to see something on the end of his bat. He looked over at me and saw the whole in the wall. Steve turned back to the door and called Dustin down.
"Oh, shit." Dustin said as Steve pointed the flashlight to the hole in the wall. "Oh, shit!" We all walked over to it. "No way." As we went back outside, we made the plan. We are gonna bait Dart to the abandoned junkyard and kill him. We got everything ready in the car and left. As we parked the car and got the two buckets filled with cow, gasoline, bat, and backpack, Dustin started talking to someone on the radio. "Well, well, well, look who it is."-"Well, when you were having sister problems, Dart grew again, he escaped, and I'm pretty sure he's a baby Demogorgon."- "I'll explain later. Just meet me, Y/n and Steve at the old junkyard."- "And bring your binoculars and wrist rocket." I grabbed the bag and put it on my back as I carried the gas can.
"All right, let's go." He said to Dustin as he closed his truck.
"Just be there, stat. Over and out." Dustin said to the person on the radio, and we all started the journey to the junkyard. It's been an hour or so, and we're been walking on train tracks.
"All right, so let me get this straight." Steve said to Dustin. "You kept something you knew was probably dangerous in order to impress a girl who.. who you just met?"
"All right, that's grossly oversimplifying things."
"I mean, why would a girl like some nasty slug anyway?" Steve asked him.
"An interdimensional slug? Because it's awesome." Dustin defended as I continued to listen to their conversation.
"Well, even if she thought it was cool, which she didn't, I.. I just.. I don't know. I just feel like you're trying way too hard." I looked at Steve with a questioned look as I looked back to the ground.
"Well, not everyone can have your perfect hair, all right?"
"It's not about the hair man," Steve said. "The key with girls is just.. just acting like you don't care." I scoffed.
"Even if you do?" Dustin asked.
"Yeah, exactly. It drives them nuts."
"Do you actually believe his relationship advice?" I asked Dustin. He just shrugged as he looked back at Steve.
"Then what?" He asked him.
"You just wait until, uh.. until you feel it." Steve said.
"Feel what?" Dustin asked.
"It's like before it's gonna storm, you know? You can't see it, but you can feel it, like this, uh.. electricity, you know?"
"Oh, like in the electromagnetic field when the clouds in the atmosphere-"
"No, no, no, no, no. Like a.. like a sexual electricity." Steve told him.
"Oh."
"You feel that and then you make your move."
"So that's when you kiss her?" Dustin asked him.
"No, whoa, whoa. Slow down, Romeo." Steve told him.
"Sorry."
"Sure, okay, some girls, yeah, they want you to be aggressive. You know, strong, hot and heavy, like a.. I don't know, like a lion." Steve said to him. "But others, you gotta be slow, you gotta be stealthy, like a.. like a ninja."
"What type is Nancy?" Dustin asked him, me finally being intrigued.
"Nancy's different. She's different than the other girls."
"Yeah, she seems pretty special, I guess."
"Yeah. yeah, she is." Steve replied.
"What type is Y/n?" Dustin asked Steve. I looked back to Steve to see him looking at me.
"Uh, I guess.. I guess she's.. different too." Steve said as Dustin nodded.
"But this girl's special, too, you know. It's just, like, something about her." Dustin told him.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, hey." Steve said as he stopped in his tracks then we all stopped and looked at him.
"What?"
"You're not falling love with this girl, are you?" Steve asked him.
"Uh, no. No."
"Okay, good. Don't." Steve told to him.
"I won't."
"She's only gonna break your heart, and you're way too young for that shit." He said as we continued walking.
"Fabergé." Steve told us.
"What?" I asked him.
"It's Fabergé Organics." Steve said, pointing to his hair. I chuckled.
"Giving him a hair talk now." I said to Steve.
"Yeah. Use the shampoo and conditioner, and when your hair's damp.. it's not wet, okay? When it's damp.. you do four puffs of the Farrah Fawcett spray."
"Farrah Fawcett spray?" I asked him with a smile on my face.
"Yeah, Farrah Fawcett. You tell anyone I just told you that and both your asses is grass. Do you understand?" Steve told us as we shook our heads in agreement. "Okay." Not shortly after this conversation, we arrived at the junkyard. We poured the cow into a pile not far from the old bus, then we heard someone shout.
"I said medium-well!" We all looked over and saw Lucas and Max.
"Who's that?" Steve asked us about the red-head. Dustin just stood there staring at Lucas. Well, we know now who the mystery girl is. Dustin pulled aside Lucas and went to talk beside a car, while Max, Steve, and I set up the area. I helped Max fortify around the bus. Suddenly, we heard a loud clang. We looked over and saw Steve scolding the boys.
