Will woke up again but this time, Mike was out of bed. Will got up to look for Mike.

He first walked to the upstairs bathroom, which was empty, so he went downstairs.

Will spotted Mike in the living room, un-folding foldable tables.

Will yawned quietly and made a confused face. Then he rubbed his eyes. "What are you doing?" He asked tiredly.

Mike jumped a little. "Getting ready for the party." He shrugged as he put down a table. "Can you get the bags with the snacks in the kitchen?" Mike asked.

Will nodded and made his way down to the kitchen. He grabbed three paper bags that were sitting on the ground next to the fridge and brought them to Mike.

"Here." Will whispered as he handed Mike the bags.

"Thanks." Mike smiled and grabbed the bags. He put them on the first table and started taking out the food.

First he took out two things of doughnuts, then dr. Pepper, then Cream Soda, then the chips and dip. Then he took out a few other snacks.

"Dustin and El should be here in a few. Max and Lucas won't be here till three." Said Mike as he sat the last snack on the table.

Will nodded in response.

"In the mean time... want to go upstairs? To my room?" Mike asked.

Will nodded again.

Mike thought for a minute.

"Last one there is a rotten egg!" He shouted as he ran off.

"Not fair!" Will yelled as he ran behind him.

"I won!" Mike smiled as he sat on his bed with Will following.

Will rolled his eyes. "Only because you cheated!" He said.

"You're just jealous."

———

Mike and Will are getting the house ready for the party when the door bell rings.

"That's Dustin and El." Mike sighed as he put stopped moving the tv. He was moving everything breakable just incase. "Will, go put on a shirt, I'll get the door."

Will nodded and ran upstairs to put on a shirt as Mike walked to the door. He looked through the little peephole thing and he saw Dustin and El, as expected, so he opened the door.

"Hey guys!" Mike smiled. "Wills in my room he should be down in a minute."

"He got here before us?" Dustin asked as they walked in.

Mike made a confused face. "He spent the night?"

"Oh." Dustin replied.

"Hey guys!" Will smiled and waved as he walked down the stairs.

Everyone said 'hi'.

"We're moving everything breakable to the basement, you guys wanna help?" Mike asked.

Dustin and El nodded. That's basically all they did until Max and Lucas arrived. Except for eat.

"By the way, Robin and Steve called and said they were able to make it!" Dustin said as he closed and locked Mikes basement.

"Perfect," Mike smiled, "The party is complete now." He looked at Will.

Will looked back.

"Max and Lucas should be here any min-" Mike was cut off by the sound of someone knocking on the door. "Prefect timing!" Mike left to get the door.

Mike walked back in the living room, with Max and Lucas.

"What should we do? I mean we got everything ready for the party?" El asked.

"Let's just hang out then." Mike shrugged.
