The Way it Was (A Stancy Fanfic) Stranger Things 4

Dream

EXT. Hawkins - evening

A car drives through Hawkins. The town is still being rebuilt but is looking better.

Music plays.. "Take on Me"

We see hands on a car wheel. We reveal Steve. He drives alone. Drumming on the wheel to the beat.

He begins to hum..

He drives by Family Video. He spots Keith updating the sign. He pulls over and begins to exit the car..

Steve

Keith!

Keith turns to Steve. He looks agitated.

Keith

Harrington. What are you doing here?

Steve

I could ask you the same.

Steve scans Keith. He's in a button up shirt and tie?

Keith

Oh, the outfit.

Steve

Yeah.

Keith

Got promoted to Manager a while back.. They've got me going to all the other stores in the area. Telling em' how to get stuff done.

Steve is a bit shocked.

Steve

No kidding.

Keith

Yeah. It's cool.

Steve

Well I'm happy for you man. That's great.

Keith

Thanks?

A silence between them. Steve looks lost a bit..

Keith

Well... I better get back in there.

Steve

Yeah. Yeah. Of course. Take care man.

Keith begins to walk away.

Steve

Hey Keith..

Keith

Yeah?

Steve

I'm sorry..

Keith

For?

Steve

I always treated you like a dork. A loser. Made fun of you... I'm really sorry man.

Keith is a bit shocked.

Keith

Thanks. I-

Steve begins back into his car.

Steve

Take care man.

Keith

You know I should be thanking you.

Steve stops and turns back to him.

Steve

How so?

Keith

I wouldn't be where I am today without you and Robin. You both still have the highest sales to date. That made me look good...

Steve nods with a little smile.
