" this is weird without lucas, even weirder with missy. " dustin spoke up, breaking the silence as the three road around looking for el. missy scoffed, offended.

" -he should of shaken my hand. " mike grunted.

" -he's just jealous. " dustin rolled his eyes.

" what are you talking about? " mike questioned, confused.

" sometimes, your total obliviousness just blows my mind. " dustin chuckled, mike stared at him blankly. " he's your best friend, right? "

" -yeah... i mean, i don't know. " mike stumbled.

" -it's fine. i get it. i didn't get here until the fourth grade. he had the advantage of living next door. but none of that matters. what matters is that he is your best friend. and then this girl shows up and starts living in your basement, and all you ever want to do is pat attention to her. " dustin sighed.

" awe, mike your in love! " missy teased and started making kissing noises.

" -yuck! that's not true. " mike's voice cracked and missy let out a giggle.

" -yes, it is. and you know it. and he knows it. but no one ever says anything until you both start punching and yelling at each other like goblins with intelligence scores of zero. " dustin spoke the truth to mike. " -now everything is weird. "

" -it's true. " missy shrugged.

" -he's not my best friend. " mike stated.

" yeah, right. " dustin chuckled and rolled his eyes.

" -i mean, he is, but so are you. " mike sighed. " -and so is will. "

" what about me? " missy scoffed, offended again.

" -your my sister, but yes you too. " mike smiled at his sister.

" -can't have more then one best friend, and your sister especially. " dustin interrupted.

" what, i have like six best friends and two of them are my siblings. " missy chuckled and sped up on her skateboard.

" -yeah see, says who? " mike asked.

" -says logic. " dustin concluded.

" well, i call bull on your logic, because you're my best friend, too. "  mike smiled at dustin.

" okay. " dustin smiled back. " am i one of your six best friend's missy? "

" no. " missy dropped her grin and faked being serious, dustin frowned.

" -what? you have six best friend's and i'm not one? " dustin spoke sadly.

" of course your one of my best friend's dustypoo. " missy chuckled and messed with dustin's head, a bright blush formed on his cheeks.

quickly after the three pulled up to the grocery store. there were cops interviewing people and a very frantic store owner.

" you don't think... " dustin slowly turned to the two wheeler siblings.

" uh... definitely " mike panted. the three road closer to investigate.

all three were walking through the woods shouting out for el when missy heard hailey's voice cracking from her backpack.

" hey guys, i'll catch up. " missy spoke up, the two boys turned and gave her a thumbs up and kept walking.

" missy? come on, you need to answer. " hailey's voice became more clear as missy pulled her walkie out and moved it to her ear.

" -i'm here, jesus. what's going on? " missy spoke into the walkie.

" oh finally. i'm down at the cop shop with jonathan and your sister. " hailey sighed.

" -wait what, with nancy? what happened? " missy panicked, running a hand through her hair.

" steve harrington is what happened. look you need to get down here, i'll tell you everything when i see you. " hailey quickly spoke then the line went dead.

" god damn it. " missy groaned and shoved her walkie back into her backpack.

as she slid her backpack onto her shoulders, missy looked around and noticed the boys nowhere in sight. she threw her head back in frustration and groaned, starting to walk in the direction they headed.

—

" i'm here, what in the hell happened? " missy rushed into the police station, hailey quickly stood up.

" thank god, missy i need you to sign me out and pay my bail. " hailey whispered and pulled missy away from the officers.

" what, are you gonna tell me what is going on? " missy asked, confused.

" please, i'll tell you in the car. " hailey pleaded.

" fine, your lucky the guys on are new. " missy sighed and walked over to the officer, tapping him on the shoulder. " hi, sir. i'm pamela harlowe, hailey's mother. "

" oh mrs.harlowe come sit. " the officer led missy to his desk, a bruised up hailey trailing behind.

—

" so are you finally going to tell me what the fuck is going? " missy slammed the car door and turned to hailey.

" -okay, holy shit. so steve, right? well he's a total dickhead. he spray painted on the movie sign, ' the wheeler sister's are sluts! ' " hailey panted. " so then jonathan and i went to the alleyway and beat the shit outta that little white boy! "

" what in the actual fuck, he did what? " missy yelled. " he know's i've only fucked him! and one other person... but still, what an ass! "

" i know right. anyways, we also found this weird gate to another dark ass world. " hailey shrugged and started the car. missy slowly turned her head to the brunette, shocked.

" -you, you found a gate... to the upside down. " missy spoke with her mouth wide open.

" -uh... yeah? " hailey looked at her best friend, confused. " wait, what's the upside down? "

" you found exactly what we've been looking for. " missy grabbed hailey's shoulders.

" you and who? " hailey asked cluelessly.

" mike, dustin, lucas and el. " missy shrugged and leant back in her seat.

" you've been hanging out with your brother and his friends? " hailey questioned as she reversed out of the car park.

" yeah, we've actually figured out a lot. what have you guys found out? " missy asked as she pulled two smokes out of her backpack, passing one to hailey.

" well, this monster thingy- " hailey started explaining as she lit her smoke.

" the demogorgan. " missy interjected.

" -right, yeah well that thing has been messing with joyce. we found it, nancy and i went to the upside down. it's like here, but like- " hailey continued as she drove.

" -like home but cold, and dark. " missy interrupted again.

" -yeah, exactly like that. " hailey ashed her cigarette out the window and continued. " well sounds like we're pretty caught up. together we've got pretty good knowledge of all this. "

" yeah, i actually think we've got a good shot at bringing will home. " missy blew smoke out of the corner and her lip, letting out a smile.
