Mabel had taken over Dustin's bike and forced him to sit behind her as she pedaled instead. She knew she needed to get all the kids to work together and hopefully they would not get into another fight again. It was important to her that these kids were going to be okay. The three of them waited outside of Lucas' front door, and Mabel thought for a moment she would be able to see Burgundy but she figured she wouldn't be near.
Lucas opened the door, "What do you want?"
Mabel put her hands on her hips and sighed out, "Lucas..."
Lucas rolled his eyes but opened the door all the way to let them inside. He moved away from them and shut the door. He crossed his arms over his chest, "Okay. Talk."
Dustin and Mabel waited for Mike to start but all he did was stare ahead at him. So Dustin smacked his chest and gave him a look.
Mike only let out a heavy sigh, "I drew first blood... so..."
"Okay, I'll shake." Lucas dropped both of his arms at his sides, "On one condition. We forget the weirdo and go straight to the gate."
"Then the deal's off."
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"No!" Mabel cut in, "No, not fine. None of that is fine. We need to stick together."
"Guys... seriously-" Dustin groaned loudly. He really just wanted to be able to find Will and Daphne, "Do you even remember what happened on the Bloodstone Pass?" The boys shrugged to him, "We couldn't agree on what path to take, so we split up the party and those trolls took us out one by one. And it all went to shit. And we were all disabled! So we stick together, no matter what!"
Lucas had glared at Mike before he began to talk, "Yeah, I agree. But this is the party. The three of us."
Mike furrowed his brows and shot over at him, "Mabel and El are one of us now."
"I'll accept Mabel, hell, I'll accept Daphne once we get her back, but not El. She never will be. She is a liar, a traitor-"
Mike blew up in Lucas' face, "She was just trying to keep us safe! She didn't mean to hurt you. It was an accident!"
"An accident?!"
Dustin, trying to lighten the mood, added with a grin, "All right, accident or not- admit it, it was a little awesome."
Mabel groaned at his comment and murmured, "Dustin... not helping."
"Awesome?" Lucas repeated with a scoff.
"Yeah, she threw you in the air with her mind!"
"I could have been killed!"
"Which is exactly why we need her." Mike tried again, just trying to convince him, "She's a weapon! Do you seriously wanna fight the Demogorgon with your wrist rocket? That's like R2-D2 going to fight Darth Vader."
