The stars twinkled above as Max and Lucas found themselves at their usual spot in the junkyard, the soft glow of the moon casting a romantic aura around them. As they sat together on a rusted car, Lucas's heart raced with nerves as he pulled out a small black box.

"Max Mayfield, will you marry me?" Lucas asked, his voice filled with hope and love as he presented the ring to her.

Max's heart skipped a beat as she looked into his eyes, feeling a rush of emotions flood over her. She felt overwhelmed with happiness, but a wave of doubt crept into her mind. Lucas noticed her hesitation and gently reassured her, "Max, I love you with all my heart. You don't have to overthink this, just follow your heart."

Tears welled up in Max's eyes as she whispered, "Y-yes, Lucas, I will marry you." Their foreheads touched as Lucas slipped the ring onto her finger, sealing their promise with a tender kiss that spoke volumes of their love.

The next day arrived in a whirlwind of excitement and nerves as Max and Lucas exchanged vows in front of their closest friends and family. Mike, Eleven, Dustin, Will, Hopper, Joyce, Steve, Robin, Jonathan, Nancy, and Erica stood by their side, their faces beaming with joy for the couple before them.

After the ceremony, the playful banter and teasing began as Lucas, Mike, Eleven, and Will couldn't resist poking fun at Dustin for his absent girlfriend, Susie. "Come on, Dustin, where's your girl? Did she get lost in the Upside Down or something?" Mike joked, earning a chorus of laughter from the group.

Meanwhile, Max and Erica found themselves engaged in a lively conversation, their personalities shining through in their sassy and sarcastic exchanges. "You know, Erica, you've got quite the mouth on you for a little sister," Max teased, a smile playing on her lips.

Erica rolled her eyes playfully. "Hey, gotta keep you on your toes, Max. Can't let you get too comfortable now, can I?" she retorted, her tone laced with humor.

As the night continued, the sounds of laughter and music filled the air, a testament to the love and joy that surrounded Max and Lucas on their special day. With each smile and shared moment, they knew that their love was a bond that could withstand anything that life threw their way. And as they danced under the starlit sky, they were filled with gratitude for the journey that had led them to this moment of pure happiness.
