Mabel yawned loudly as she stretched her arms out. She slapped her cheeks a couple of times to try and keep herself awake. She grabbed a bucket of beef from the trunk and set it down on the floor. She glanced up as Dustin took a step away from them to speak into his mic.
"Mabel-"
"I don't want to hear it, Steven."
"How would you know that?" Steve sighed heavily, "You won't even let me explain."
"I already know what you're going to say, okay."
Dustin's voice caught their attention, "Well, when you were having sister problems, Dart grew again, he escaped, and I'm pretty sure he's a baby Demogorgon."
Mabel glanced Dustin's way and almost slammed Steve's hands in the trunk. "I don't want to hear about your feelings for Nancy. I don't want to hear how you're sorry. Whenever I look at you, all I can remember is when you kissed me and I just can't deal with it."
"I-What?"
"I'll explain later." Dustin continued talking, "Meet me, Mabel, and Steve at the old junkyard."
"You wouldn't remember anyway. You don't. I had to remind you." Mabel huffed, "You were only drunk and testing a theory."
"Mab-"
"All right." Mabel stepped away from Steve, "Let's just go."
"Come on, Mabel, please just listen to me."
"Save it for someone who cares, Steven."
Dustin blinked a few times as he stared at them, "I'd rather face Dart..."

Mike sat up as he heard Daphne said something, "Ah! Daff is awake now!"
Daphne looked at the kid and made a face, she looked around and tried to figure out who she was staring at. "Who... Who are all of you?"
Mike turned to Joyce, "It's happening again."
"I'll get Dr. Owens."
Daphne sat without moving as the different doctors strapped her up. She stared at the Doctor as he checked her pupil response.
"Okay, now, do you remember your name?"
"Daphne."
"Your full name?"
"Daphne Blake."
"Do you know... Do you know who I am?" Dr. Owens had been through this with Will and had a feeling her answers would be rather similar.
"A doctor."
"Have we met before?"
"I don't... remember."
"You don't remember me?" Dr. Owens asked and she nodded her head. "Okay... How about... this young man?"
