Mallory was standing a bit behind Mike, watching him ask Will if he was coming.

"It's about D'Artagnan," Will says vaguely and Mallory looks over at Will. She turns around to her locker and grabs multiple notepads and a large book article.

The three kids rush over to Mr Clarke's class and open the door hurriedly. Mike grabs the machine which has a dart in it.

"What are you doing?" Dustin says.

"I told him to stop. We need to go." Mike elaborates very vaguely. Mike yells that they need to go so Mallory is right behind him with her backpack on her back and a ton of books in her hands.

Max is banging on the door.

"Hello?" Max says while Aurora is walking past.

" is everything okay?" Aurora asks.

"Shit!" Max says, turning around. "You scared me."

"Sorry. What's up though?" Aurora asks

"Some dickheads won't let me in!" Max says , banging on the door once again.

"I don't understand," Dustin says.

"What can't you not understand?" Mike questions.

"So, Mal thinks he's familiar. So what?"

"I record everything about my family. Believe me for once!" Mallory says to Dustin.

"Not just that," Mike says turning to look at Will.

"I saw something that looked like dart last year. There was no tail though." Will elaborates.

"Right. Then he heard it yesterday. The same exact sound."

"Why didn't you tell us before? Either of you. Mal. You've been acting stranger than usual." Dustin says.

"It's just... my stupid family curse is weighing me down. It's bound to be true. Right?" Mallory admits and Dustin looks at her.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't do stupid shit." Dustin apologises.

Mallory shakes her head, "don't apologise. It's just me being dramatic."

"A family curse of you dying isn't you being dramatic. You're just scared. You've barely lived your life." Dustin says ending the heart-to-heart and turning to Will.

"Uh, I wasn't sure," Will says

"So, a coincidence?" Dustin offers up.

"Or not. Nothing with mal or will is a coincidence. Mal's family curse is connected and .... What if while Will was the upside down, he somehow acquired true sight?" Mike says and Mallory looks at him.

"How are you smart for once?" Mallory says and Mike looks at her.

"Okay. Offensive." He says.

"Anyway, true sight gives you the power to see into the ethereal plane," Dustin says.

"Elaborate," Lucas says.

Mallory looks at him. "Are you kidding Lucas? " "Maybe these so-called episodes that Will is having aren't flashbacks, maybe they're real," Mike says after Mallory's useless rhetorical question.

"So, that would mean..." "dart is from the upside down." Mike finishes Lucas's thought.

"We have to take him to hopper."

"I agree."

"I third that." Mallory chimes in after Mike.

"No. No way. If we take him to hopper, darts as good as dead." Dustin says, trying to save his stupid pet.
