——————— THE UPSIDE DOWN
Valerie found herself back at the Byers house. Getting ready for battle.
They pulled out everything. From Gasoline to Bear traps.
They screwed on all the lightbulbs and got there defensive gear ready. Jonathan hammering nails in a bat. Nancy loading of a revolver. And Valerie, stuck with the ax she found in her shed.
They all stood in a circle. kitchen knife on palm. They were reviewing the plan, not knowing if they would have to run for their lives in 5 minutes or 5 seconds.
"ready?" Jonathan asked
"Ready." The girls said in sync
"on three. One, two--"
Jonathan looked at Nancy seeing as she was nervous
"you don't have to do this" He said "Jonathan, stop talking." Nancy replied back "I'm just saying--"
"three." Valerie said suddenly sick of the bickering.
They all sliced their hands open. Luring the shark.

Valerie was anxious. She didn't feel like being brought to another dimension to be eaten.
"so how do we know when it's here?" She asked nervously, turning around to see that she indeed did ruin a moment

"it's like an alarm--" before he could say anything else, there was loud banging on the door. Making the three jump.
Valerie looked around, realizing she was closest to the door. Sighing , Valerie went to open the door. Her heart was pounding in her chest. She did not wanna open that door
"Jonathan! are you there man? I-it's Steve!" Valerie heard from outside the door
"are you kidding me?" Valerie said. of course Steve the 'hair harrington' would show up in the most inconvenient of times.
"listen, I just wanna talk" he continued from beind the door
Valerie rolled her eyes. unlocking the door, opening it slightly.
"Steve." Valerie started "Valerie?what--" "you need to go." She said sternly
"look I-" he tried to start
"no. you need to leave."
"I just - I was thinking about what you said earlier, about the saying something is better then saying nothing--"
