"all clear," dustin said and we followed him as i tripped on steve's leg. i got up and grabbed his hand as he reached into the garbage. i followed dustin and he put me robin and steve in the three seats closest to the front. "these seats blow!" i whispered. "then don't watch it!" dustin said. "we wanna watch it," all three of us whisper yelled. "THEN WATCH IT," dustin said. "SHHHH," the guy behind him said. "just don't. move." dustin said. "fine, dad," steve said. i laughed. "we don't have one of those," i said as dustin and erica walked away.

"shhhh," steve said and put his finger on my lips. i kissed his finger and he smiled. "robinnnn," i whispered. "whattttt," she whispered. "you're my best friend," i laughed. "you're my best friend too," she said and booped my nose. i fell forward off my chair and then stared at the ceiling instead. steve grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the theater.

he leaned over the drinking fountain while i laid on the floor. "this is amazing," he said. "so like i wasn't totally focused in there or anything, but i'm pretty sure that mom was trying to bang her song," robin said. "that's messed up as hell," i laughed. "move i want some," i said and shoved steve. i drank the water while they kept talking about back to the future. robin shoved me and started drinking it too. "hey, look at the ceiling," steve said. "it's beautiful,"

robin and i walked over to steve and looked up and it was twinkling. like a star. i started getting dizzy and couldn't stand straight. "i'm gonna hurl," i said and we all booked it to the bathroom and we all threw up. after we all laid there for a minute and were done puking, i sighed and put my head under steve's stall. "is it still spinning for you?" robin asked. "holy shit," steve said. "no," we said. "you think we puked it all up?" he asked. "maybe," i said. "ask me a question, interrogate me," robin said. "okay interrogate you sure," steve said. "today," she said. "what?" we both asked. "when the russian doctors took out the bone saw," she said and we laughed. "okay, my turn," she said.

"for who? me or steve?" i said. "steve then you," she said. "okay," i said. "have you...ever been in love?" robin asked. i turned my head towards him. "yep, nancy wheeler, senior year, but i've turned my sights elsewhere," he said. "you love blake," she said in a sing song voice. i laughed and grabbed his hand. "nancy's a priss," robin said. "depends on whether you mean drunk or sober, cause sober she's fine," i said. me and steve crawled under the stall to sit with robin and i laid my head on robins shoulder. "okay, now your question," steve said.

"can it be personal?" robin asked. "go for it," i sighed. "why did you stay with billy for so long after everything he did to you?" she asked. i sighed and played with my rings. "honestly, when we met he reminded me of steve, he was a sweet kid who only wanted to be loved, his dad would hit he and his mom and one day his mom left, but when his mom left so did my dad, and we kind of just latched onto each other and never let go, billy's dad is the reason he's so fucked up, that he would hurt me, so i guess i never really blamed him, and i didn't want him to feel the pain of losing someone that loved him again," i said. "it's stupid really, he's just always been there and i guess i never expected that to change until i moved back to hawkins and well, now i have steve," i said and steve smiled at me.

"can i ask you a question now?" i asked robin and she nodded. "why hasn't anyone picked you up yet? you're amazing," i said. "i'm not like your other friends, i'm not like nancy," she said. "what do you mean?" steve asked. "in mrs. clicks class a couple years ago, i was obsessed with steve, but not cause i had a crush on him," she said. "it's cause she was looking at him, but i wanted her to be looking at me,"

"mrs. clicks?" steve asked. "no, tammy thompson," she said. "i couldn't understand why she'd want a guy who spills bagel crumbs all over the floor, who asked dumb questions, and was an absolute douchebag," she said. "you didn't even like her steve, and i would go home and just scream into my pillow,"

"but, tammy thompson's a girl," steve said. "steve," robin said. "yeah?" he asked and robin just looked at him. "oh," he said. "holy shit," he said. "yeah holy shit," she said. i grabbed robins hand and looked at her. "steve..." she said. "did you OD over there?"

"no just thinking, i mean tammy thompson's cute and all but she's a total dud," he said. "no she's not," robin said and i laughed. "yes she is she wants to be like a singer and move to nashville and shit," he said. "she has dreams," robin said. "she's tone deaf have you heard her?" he asked and robin laughed. steve started singing and we all started laughing. "you sound like a muppet," she said. "she sounds like a muppet," he said. we all started singing like kermit and burst out laughing when dustin walked in. "okay what the hell," dustin said and we looked at him and started laughing even more. dustin looked out the door and we all stood behind he and erica. "blend," he whispered as the movie got out. "well that worked," erica said. "of course it worked, now we just need to blebe on that bus and home sweet home," he said. "uh dustin, we might not wanna go to your house," steve said. "what?" he asked. "i might've told them your full name," steve replied. "what is wrong with you?!" dustin whisper yelled. "dude i was drugged," he said defensively. "guys," robin said and we saw the russians. "abort, abort abort!" dustin said and we all started running. we ran to the escalator and slid down the middle of the two and hid behind the first counter we saw until the mall closed. we heard them walking towards us when a car alarm went off. we heard a crash and stood up carefully peeking over the counter. we looked up and saw el and the others and i smiled. we all got out from behind the counter and ran over to them. i hugged max as tight as i possibly could.

"are you okay?" i asked. "i'm fine," she nodded. "lucas?" erica asked. "what're you doing here?" lucas asked. "ask them it's their fault," erica said. "true yeah totally true it's absolutely our fault," steve said. "i don't understand what happened to that car," robin said. "el has superpowers," i said. "i'm sorry?" she asked. "she threw it with her mind," steve said. "c'mon catch up,"

"that's el?" erica asked. "who's el?" robin asked. "i'm sorry who are you?" nancy asked. "i'm robin i work with blake and steve," she said. "she cracked the top secret code," dustin said. "yeah which is why we found out about the russians," steve said. "and got kidnapped by them," i said. "russians? wait what russians?" jonathon asked. "the ones trying to open the gate," i said and they all looked at me. "didn't you hear my code red?" dustin asked. "yeah and i couldn't hear anything," mike said. "god damn low battery," dustin said. "how many times do i have to tell you with the low battery?" steve asked. "well everything worked out didnt it," dustin said.

"worked out we almost died," erica said. "okay but we didn't did we?" dustin said. "well you guys didn't, steve almost did, and kind of me and robin," i said. everybody started arguing and i rolled my eyes. we looked over at el and she was on the ground. "el! el! what's wrong?" mike asked and we all ran over to her. "my leg, my leg," she said. "her leg okay her leg," mike said and took the bandage off and my eyes widened. "what the fuck happened?" i asked and she started screaming. "el, el, EL!" mike yelled.
