Logan walked to his front door because he kept hearing the doorbell ring. He opened the door and saw Lucas. "Dude, what are you doing here, my entire family is still sleeping." Logan said walking outside. "Arcade. I have a plan on how to make Max understand." Lucas said. Logan nodded and grabbed his backpack and walked out the door after leaving a note for his mom. "Alright, let's go." Logan said running to his bike. The two best friends biked to the Arcade.
Logan and Lucas now waited in a storage room, waiting for Max to get here. Soon the door opened. Max just stared at the two boys, Logan grinned at her. "You better get me that date now, Sinclair." Keith tells Lucas. "I told you I would." Lucas says back to Kieth, rolling his eyes. "And keep things PG in here, all right?" Keith said to the young teens. Logan made a disgusted face. Keith then closes the door. "What is this shit, stalker?" Max asks Lucas, then she looks over at Logan. "Sorry. We just needed a safe place." Lucas said. "A safe place to what? Be creepy?" Max asked the two boys. Logan placed his hands on his head in frustration. "Listen. We are gonna tell you the truth about everything that happened last year. But if anyone finds out, you could be arrested. Possibly killed." Lucas told the girl. "Killed?" Max asked. "I need to know. Do you accept the risk?" Lucas asked. "Oh, my God! This... this is so stupid." Max said upset. "Do you accept the risk?" Logan asked the girl. "Yeah. Sure. Fine. I accept the risk. Let's hear it." Max said sitting down in a chair. "Last year...Will didn't get lost in the woods. He got lost somewhere else." Lucas began, as Logan looked down.
The two boys told Max everything. Aside from Logan's dad dying in the Upside Down."And that was the last we ever saw of her. After that, she was just gone. I can't believe it's been that long. Feels like yesterday." Lucas said and Logan nodded, tears threatening to fall. "Yeah. I mean, I bet. Wow." Max said. "It's crazy. I know. It's crazy, but..." Lucas began but Max cut him off. "I really liked it." Max said making Logan confused. "Liked it?" Logan asked. "Yeah. Well, I mean, I had a few issues." Max said making Logan scoff. "Issues?" Logan asked. "I felt it was a little derivative in parts." Max said. Logan sighed. "What are you talking about?" Logan asked, placing two fingers on the bridge of his nose. "I just wish it had a little more originality. That's all." Max said, making Logan roll his eyes and scoff again. "You don't believe us?" Lucas asked. "Guys, come on, seriously? How gullible do you think I am?" Max asked the two boys. "How smart do you think we are. If we were making this up, which we're not, we could never come up with something like that." Logan told this girl who rolled her eyes. "Why would we make this up?" Lucas asked. "I don't know. To impress me or something? Or you're just, like, insane." Max told the boys. "We tell you all of this. I mean, top-secret stuff. Risking our lives. And this is how you react?" Lucas asked. "Risking your life?" Max asked chuckling. "Oh, so this is funny to you?" Lucas asked. "Yeah. I mean...kind of funny. Stupid, but funny." Max said getting up and walking out.
"Where are you going?" Logan asked following the girl. "Story time's over, isn't it?" Max asked continuing her way. "What's wrong with you? We gave you what you wanted." Logan said following her. "I wanted to be a part of the group, not a part of some joke." Max said walking to a arcade machine. "It's not a joke." Logan said not believing this. "You did a good job, okay? You can go tell the others I believed your lies if it gets you experience points or whatever." Max said, and Logan just shook his head and sighed. "We have a lot of rules in our party, but the most important is, "Friends don't lie." Never ever. No matter what." Lucas told the red head. "Is that right? Then how do you explain this?" Max asked holding up the out of order paper that was tapped to a machine. "We had to do that. To protect you." Lucas told her. "To protect me from who, exactly? The big bad government baddies from Hawkins Lab?" Max said in front of a bunch of kids. "Lower your voice." Logan told Max but she wasn't stopping. "Maybe it was to protect me from the Demogorgon from another dimension?" Max continued. "Max, I'm serious, shut up!" Lucas said. "Oh, no, no! You know what it was? It was Eleven. The girl..." Max continued but Logan covered her mouth. "Stop talking. You're going to get us killed. Do you understand?" Logan said with his hand still over her mouth. "You're serious?" Max asked with wide eyes. "Dead serious." Logan stated. "Prove it." Max demanded. "I can't." Logan sighed. "So what? I'm supposed to just trust you?" Max asked. "Yes. You did before. What is stopping you now?" Logan asked.
Car tires screeched outside and Max jumped. "Shit. I gotta go. Um...Don't follow me out. Okay?" Max told the two boys. Then she took her hand off of Logan's and walked out of the arcade. "Do you believe us?" Lucas asked. Max didn't answer, instead she walked to the car. "Fuck." Logan breathed out, then he looked at Lucas. "This just never ends."
