Synopsis/plot: Eleven returns
(Age 26)
...........................................................El had been serving in the military for 4 years for her first term of active duty, and now it is finally her time to get back home to her family.
Meanwhile Mike and Charolette were preparing to get ready for a movie night, they had baked cookies, got candy, and bought matching daddy and daughter socks for them both. They were currently in the kitchen trying to make popcorn out of left over corn kernels from Thanksgiving.
Charolette looked up at Michael, "Daddy we need to put them on the stove!"
"No Char, we have to put them in the microwave so they can pop." He replied
She nodded, "oh okay, that makes more sense"
Michael put the kernels in the microwave and set the timer to 30 seconds, then Charolette and him went back into the living-room and sat onto the couch to decide which movie they were picking.
"Daddy?" Charlotte asked.
Mike turned to her, "Yeah?"
A tear fell down her cheek, "when is mommy coming home?"
Michael paused, he didn't know, "uhm, soon."
"You said soon last month, and the month before that." Charolette stomped.
"Char, I'm sorry."
Charolette frowned, "Will I ever see her again?"
"Yeah, of course." The freckled boy replied.
The two were both extremely scared of losing each other but most importantly, El. Michael had known that girl since he was twelve, and they've been together ever since. Just the thought of Michael losing Eleven would give him anxiety.
Charolette smiled, she hadn't seen her mom since she was 2, she really missed her.
The freckled boy walked back into the kitchen "Okay, our popcorn is r-"
Charolette interrupted Mike, "Burnt."
"Do you mind eating burnt popcorn?" Mike asked.
Charolette raised an eyebrow, "uh"
Michael sighed, "Okay then.. what else can we make for our movie night?"
"Hmmm... MARSHMALLOWS!" Charolette cried.
"Charlie, we don't have any.." he replied.
Charolette blinked aggressively, "we go to the store, duh."
He chuckled, "okay, okay, let's go."
At the store
"Okay, what aisle are the marshmallows in?" He asked.
Charolette shrugged her shoulders.
Mike and Charolette searched the WHOLE store looking for where the marshmallows were, but they had no luck.
