Hopper's house

"Wow! Look at this, Jonathan! El! I can bounce on my bed!" Will shouted from his bedroom.  Joyce and Hopper watched as the three children were enjoying the very sight of their own bedrooms. They never thought they would see children get this happy over having their own bedrooms, but then again they didn't know exactly how bad their conditions were in. 

"Okay kids, can you come into the living room please?" Hopper called out. One by one, the three of them quickly rushed into the living and stood in front of Joyce and Hopper. Just as they anticipated, a knock came at the door as then the Wheelers, Sinclairs, Mayfields, and Henderson came walking in. The kids quickly went to each other where they began discussing about some of the new things they learned about their homes like Max showing off her skateboard to Lucas discussing DnD to them talking about their new rooms. 

Hopper whistled to get everyone to settle down. Once the last peep was silenced, Hopper began. 

"As you all may have guessed, now that you live under our roofs there are going to be some rules you have to follow." Hopper claimed to them, "Now the rules we give you guys may vary differently then the ones your friends have since they live in different houses, but there are some main rules we do want all of you to follow. A few of which are about your powers. If you guys want to practice your abilities, you guys do it right here at Joyce and my house in the backyard to avoid being detected by the neighbors. Secondly, you all are not allowed to use your abilities at school or on your way to and from school, and yes you all need to go to school so you guys are educated and know what to do when you are in the real world. Thirdly, I want you guys to be either at your own houses or at your buddies house. If you want to go off somewhere like the park or the pool or whatever, please have someone with you. Don't go off alone. Any questions?" 

Hopper waited a moment for anyone to raise their hands. When no one did, Hopper cleared his throat. 

"Okay, now that is cleared up, may the young ones please step outside the room. We will like to speak with the older ones alone for a bit." Hopper asked. All the kids looked at each other in confusion before one by one, the younger kids began to leave the room and into Will's room. 

"What is it you want to talk about?" Steve asked. Slowly, Hopper turned around as he grabbed a pile of books and set then in front of him. The books had different titles except it had the same two words in each one... 'Sex Talk'

*Two hours later* 

"What do you think they're talking about?" El asked while she stood by the door attempting to listen in on the conversation. Despite them being a couple of feet from the living room, El couldn't hear a word they were saying. 

"I do not know, but it must be important if it is lasting this long?" Dustin said as he pulled a card from the stack. Dustin, Will, Mike and Lucas were playing 'Go Fish' on the ground while Erica was explaining to Max what an arcade was. 

Suddenly a knock echoed in their ears (causing El to back up) before the door opened to reveal Susan. 

"Hey guys, you can come out if you want to." She told them. One by one they walked out of the room and headed towards the living room. They froze in the doorway as they saw all the older kids glued to their seats with looks of terror on their faces.

"What happened to them?" Mike asked, pointing at them. 

"We just had a private, yet very important talk with them they ought to know." Karen assured them. Hopper lightly clapped his hands together. 

"So, dinner anyone?" he asked as they made their way over to the kitchen, leaving behind very horrified teens. 

*at the lab* 

The man was running down the hallways, his heart pounding in his ears. He had to escape. He needed to escape from-- from-- that thing! He kept rushing around each corner till he reached the elevator. He roughly pressed his fingers against the buttons trying to get it to open. As soon as it began opening, he slipped inside and attempted to get it close again. The elevator doors shut and began to descend. He thought he was in the clear... till the lights flickers off... and a beast shrieked in his ears.
