"hey there friends, this is rockin robin. sorry about the abrupt departure. i hope you survived without me. we had some annoying technical difficulties. but to make it up to you, we have a very special treat that's sure to turn your day upside down." robin voice sparks through the once silent radio. the cabs they were once sipping on were slammed to the tae as the tune of 'upside down' by diana ross starts to play. the swqk sign of a crawl. immeditialy the group begins rifling through their bags for a paper and pen. piper grabbing the scrap of paper and readied her sparkly teacher pen.

"before you start bumping, here's a few fun facts about the boss. she was born diane in the north end of detroit." and across hawkins hopper scribbled north down on his paper with joyce standing beside him.

"berry gordy, that's gordy with a g, signed her to mototown in 1961 and 1 is the key number. because between 1964 and 67, had ten songs hit thr top of the charts. that's right, ten. then im 78, she tried to make it big in the movies with the wiz. which was a colossal fop-a-roonie. but in my personal opinion, i still dig it. i mean michael jackson as a scarecrow? give it a chance. but make sure you bring your super sized popcorn, because thus novie has a run time of over two hours. all right, class dismissed. i hope you were taking notes, there will be a test later. take it away diane." and robin stops speaking, allowing the record to continue playing as piper looks down at the slip of paper.

and over hawkins the three groups behin to move. the radio squad into the basement, hopper-byers family into the tunnels and teacher with students out of the school and into the treeline of the woods. they rushed to the random table in the opening of the woods. a table eddie once sat with chrissy. a table steve had his first kiss with nancy. they spread the book open on the table which displayed a mini version of nancys projection one.

it was the same plan as always. hopper in the tunnels to mac-z. mike and lucas in the watchtower. piper, steve and dustin with the telemetry signal to follow along on with hopper but on this side. get to zone g1. have two hours to search for vecna and hopefully kill him.

and a shiver runs up her spine and through the fingers. her hand instinctively reaching for her temple. will's eyes focused on her as a slight ringing appears. she tries to play it of by running her fingers through her hair. but everything has already started to drown out. will collapses against a tree, and it's piper by his side first. the pupils in his eyes seem to spin as the others runs over.

"will, are you okay?" she asks him softly. her hand resting near his on the tree as she looks up at him as she crouch. her touch is cold. as is his.

"was it him? was it vecna?" mike questions as he rests his hand on wills back. warmth spreading over wills skin at the touch.

"i dont know. i just had this crazy feeling. and then the sky was spinning. i dont know. i gurdd maybe it's nothing toght? maybe i just get nervous sometimes before crawls."

"yeah, i get nervous too. but the sky doesn't spin for me. it ever spin for you? " lucas looks to piper who blinks slowly before nodding her head slightly. a tinge of embarrassment raised in her cheeks.

"maybe he's close." mike decides when the bell rings distsntly. cmthey confirm the meet up of tonight at squawk at six. but as piper walks back to her classroom, the cold seems to stay settled in her bones. like she's been submerged in ice. the slightly faded lining in her ears nevers stops either as she carries on with her classes. and it's a blur. she doesn't bother to even try and teach, she just passes out the history books and goes to sit at her desk. staring at her hands. cold, pale. and she swears they've lost some colour. and when she returns to reality she's just sat in the front seat of her car. but she's no longer at the school. she's parked up at her house. and there's a little knock at her window.

"hey pip." and a smile lifts onto her face as he opens the door.

"i'm sorry we couldn't watch movies tonight because of the crawl." he tells her as she packs snacks into her backpack from the kitchen. being mindful of how little food she had. she hoped steve wouldn't notice as she quickly shut her cabinets. thankfully he wasn't even in the room, she could hear him mumbling in the corridor. she followed him to her room. and he stood pacing around the room. her room which he had helped repair. she barely even lived in this house at this point. it sat empty. she spent most days at the old harrington house. his parents weren't in hawkins when the earthquake spilt, so she had been staying with him unofficially.

"we need to leave soon ste." she speaks gently, tapping her knuckle on the door. his finger which had been brushing over her clothes stopped as he turned to her. he really dif think she was the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. she wore this little denim skirt. a red and white poka dotted sweater with some cute little red ballet flats on.

"stop looking at me like that.: she laughed throwing the bag at him. but his eyes never moved, and his smile never falted. even as she moved to the pile of clothes. his eyes traced her creamy legs as she quickly changed out of the skirt and into some tight jeans. he moved over to her, gently using biscuits finger to get her to look at him. and pressed a soft kiss to her cheek.

"you are so beautiful piper." he smiled.

"amd you are such an idiot." she laughed. a red colour spreading across her face. as she pressed a quick kiss to his jaw before heading to the door. they did really need to head to sqwk soon. and he grinned ear to ear as he followed after her. soon both cars were parked side by side. the maroon 'the beamer' BMW of Harrington and the crimson 'cherry' mustang of Parker.
