(Six Months Later)

"It's been 182 days, I really miss you. If your out there please just talk to me. Give me a sign I promise I won't say anything to anyone!" Mike spoken into his radio, and Will walked closer to him.

He could see Mike sat in the basement, and he had a Snow White book in his hand.

Will walked closer to Mike, and knelt down next to him. He grabbed mikes hand softly.

"Pretty.. I here." He whispered, and Mike didn't move.

"Will come on just talk to me please.." Mike whispered, and Will got upset.

"I here!" Will tried, and he went to hold Mike's other hand, but he started to disappear.

"No! No Mike!" Will yelled, looking around for him.

Will started to cry, and ripped the blind fold off of his face.

Nobody was at home right now, it was just him.

El was at school, Hopper and Joyce where both out at work and Jonathan was out looking at collages.

The Hopper's had moved in with the Byers, El in the spare bedroom and Hopper in Joyce's.

Eleven wanted to tell Mike about Will but she knew it was a risk, so she didn't.

Will just sat there and cried, wanting to see Mike.

He had searched for all of the others as well, but mainly Mike.

He heard the front door click and he heard quite loud footsteps.

"I'm home!" Hopper's voice boomers through the house.

He walked into Will's room and saw the boy sat down, crying.

"Hey.. What's wrong?" He asked, sitting down next to him.

Hopper had become significantly gentler with Will, and he saw the small boy as his son.

"I miss friends.." He cried, and Hopper sighed, pulling him into a hug.

"I know you do, kid. You will be allowed to see them soon." He told Will, letting him cry into his chest.

"Please I see Mike.." Will looked up at him.

"You know you can't, why don't you watch some TV." Hopper suggested, and Will wiped away his tears, getting up.

"Okay.. Love dad." He walked away.

"Love you too, kid." He smiled, seeing the smaller boy walk away.

Will walked over to the TV, and put on the film 'Snow White' that Joyce has bought him for Christmas.

It was February and he must've watched it every day since he was given it. He also got another three floppy teddies, one was a pig, one was a bee, and the other was a catapilar.

He loves them all with his entire heart and brought then around the house wherever he went.

He was lay down on the couch, his four teddies in hand, watching the movie, when someone came through the door.

"Hi Will! Can I join you?" Eleven smiled at him.

"Yes! Sit!" Will grinned, sitting up so that eleven could sit next to him.

They both sat watching Snow White until the film has finished, and Will was ecstatic.

"The little people! Can we buy little people?" He asked Joyce, who had just came in from work.

Joyce chuckled and shook her head.

"We can buy little teddies of them, if you want? Your little animals can have owners!" Joyce suggested, and Will cheered.

"Yay!! Thanks mama!" Will jumped, and sat back down next to El.

"Tomorrow, if you go shop with mama, little person be yellow." Will asked her, and Eleven smiled and nodded.

"We will look for one, I promise."

"Promise." Will grinned, and his stomach grumbled.

"Are you hungry, sweet heart?" Joyce asked him.

"Yes.. I get loops?" He looked up at her.

"I ate them all last night." Hopper grinned.

"No!! Why my loops!" Will whined, throwing himself back into the couch.

"They were tasty." Hopper grinned, and Joyce punched his arm.

"Hop stop teasing him! He didn't eat your loops, but you aren't having any. They're for after dinner, okay?" She told him, and he nodded.

"What I eat?" He asked her, and she looked in the fridge.

"I'll make.. some pasta tonight. Maybe some spaghetti." She spoke, scanning the fridge.

"Okay, I go play." He skipped off, and Joyce and Hopper chuckled.

"That boy is always moving I swear." Hopper laughed, and Joyce smiled.

"I know, I feel like we should let him out of the house soon." Joyce looked over at him.

"I know, maybe give it another couple months and we will see." He told her, and she sighed gratefully.

"I know, I better go and check on him.

Hopper gave her a thumbs up, and she walked over to Wills room.

She knocked on and she didn't here a small 'in' like usual, so she waited a few more more minutes and knocked again.

She didn't get a response, so she walked in and Will had a blind fold over his head, and he had his radio that Joyce had bought him making a static sound.

He was whispering something, and Joyce couldn't quite hear.

"Pretty.. Come home." Will whispered.

There was silence for a minute before  she saw his lip tremble.

"I here I here please see me!" He got a bit louder this time.

Joyce's heart shattered as she saw her son rip the blind fold off and start crying.

She walks over to him and wraps him in a big hug.

"Mama.. I miss him.." Will cried.

"I know baby.. I'm sorry." She hugged him as he cried.

"I want Mike see me." He whispered, holding onto Joyce.

"Soon, sweetheart. Soon." She told him, holding onto him.

She calmed him down after a couple minutes and she brought him to his feet.

"Why don't you come and help me make dinner?"
