ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 2: ᴛʀɪᴄᴋ ᴏʀ ᴛʀᴇᴀᴛ, ꜰʀᴇᴀᴋ

The next morning, Y/n listened to Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles, as she dried her hair from being in the shower. Once her hair was dry, she put it into two plates on each side of her head.

She puts on a pair of black sweatpants with a cropped, long sleeved white top that had big black text reading 'I Love Nerds'. She chucked a jacket in her bag, just in case it got cold or anything. She put on her converse and went to the table for breakfast, which was French toast being made by Hopper.

Hopper looked at her "Hey."

Y/n smile at him "French toast!" She said excitedly.

Hopper nods with a smile as she sits at the table. Y/n turned around, hearing a noise behind her, and jumped when she seen El with a blanket over her, two hole cut out for the eyes.

"Jesus." Hopper turned as well, holding a hand to his chest.

"Ghost." El spoke.

"Yeah, I see that." Hopper said with a small frown as he loaded up the plates.

"Halloween." Eleven reminded.

"Sure is." Hopper nods "But right now, it's breakfast, okay? Come on. Let's eat."

"They wouldn't see me." El told him.

Hopper put the plates down as he asked "Who wouldn't see you?"

"The bad men." She told him.

Hopper sat down as he said "What are you talking about?"

"Trick or treat." Eleven said.

Hopper frowned, and Y/n said "I think she wants to go trick or treating."

"You want to go trick or treating?" Hopper questioned. Eleven nods, and Hopper shook his head, standing up "You know the rules."

He held her shoulders as she said "Yes, but--"

"Yeah, so you know the answer." Hopper said as he walked her to stand in front of her.

"But they wouldn't see me." El argued.

"Hey, I don't care." Hopper told her as he knelt down to her level "I don't care, alright? You go out there, ghost or not, it's a risk. We don't take risks. Alright? They're stupid, and...?"

"We're not stupid!" El said with an angry tone.

Y/n awkwardly sat as she ate her food and Hopper said "Exactly. Now you take that off, sit down and eat. You're foods getting cold." Hopper sat down.

El stood for a moment before throwing off the sheet and sitting down, Y/n taking her hand under the table. Hopper poured sauce on their food. But El didn't eat anything.

Hopper sighed "Alright, look..." he looked at Y/n "You're at a party tonight, right?"

Y/n nods "Yeah?"

He then looked at El "How about I get off early tonight, and I buy us a bunch of candy, and we can sit around and get fat while we watch a scary movie together?"
