Synopsis/Plot: Party's first sleepover (will is at the hospital)
(After El closed the gate in season 2)
.................................................................................
Hoppers van pulled into the driveway along with Joyce's car that included Nancy, Jonathan, and Will. El of course was exhausted, Hopper dropped her off at the Byers place, gave her some of her pajamas, and went with Joyce, Nancy, Steve, Jonathan, and Will to the hospital. The kids however stayed with El and had a home all to themselves.
Mike approached El, "h-hey.." he stuttered.
She smiled, "hi."
He smiled back, "I'm really happy you're back, El."
She blushed, "me too."
Their conversation had gotten interrupted by the cellphone, "should we answer it?" Max asked.
Dustin ran to the phone without any hesitation and answered it, it was the adults. They said that they would be staying at the hospital for a couple of days and had to rely on them to keep the house clean, Hopper would drop off all their belongings and clothes within a few hours.
Dustin nodded, "Alright, thanks Mrs. Byers."
"finally I don't have to wear this." Mike laughed knowing that he was probably going to treasure that shirt for the rest of his life.
"Well, I'm going to take a shower and get the gel out of my hair, I'll be out soon." El walked away with her backpack and her clothes.
Lucas walked over to Mike and nudged him on the shoulder, "you likeee her.." he laughed.
"Fine, I do." He blushed.
Lucas smiled, "haha, knew it."
They both laughed.
"Soo? You gonna tell her or what?" Lucas asked.
Michael shrugged, "I don't know Lucas, I kissed her last year 5 minutes before she went "missing," but I don't know what to do now."
Lucas rolled his eyes, "tell her? Duh."
Mike chuckled, "I guess."
Lucas grabbed Mike by the arm gently and dragged him over into the kitchen where no one else was, "I've got an idea, so maybe you should just kiss her again and-"
Mike cut him off, "What?! No! I don't want to get rejected."
Lucas pinched Mike, "Listen."
As you know, Michael overreacts so of course the tiny pinch hurt him, "Ouch- fine, jeez."
"Alright, so you're going to kiss her, then- uhm.. I don't know, you figure it out." Lucas patted Mike on the back and headed back into the living room with the rest of the party.
El came out of the shower, her hair was damp and curly, it looked beautiful in Mike's eyes.
He approached her, "hey!"
"Hi!" She smiled.
Dustin and Max we're grabbing mattresses out from the bedrooms to use to sleep on, they laid the mattresses next to each other one by one and just stood there looking at them.
