✓ Wake Up, Mike ⇔ Mileven {1st - "Wake Up, Mike" Trilogy}

Eight

Mike.

"Mike, it's simple. We just have to find out who's leaving food in the box." Dustin made it sound like a breeze.

"How? Dustin, we can't just stand here and wait," I reminded, but he wasn't having it.

"Sure we can," He shot back, and I just looked at him with squinted eyes. "Look, we can just come back here tomorrow morning really early and wait."

"Dustin, whoever comes will see us," Will chimed in, and Dustin gave us the 'stop being so dense' look.

"You guys are just unbelievable. We'll hide!" He exclaimed and my mouth immediately formed an 'o' shape. I am so dumb.

"Ok, I'm in. Anything for her," I agreed, beginning to walk to my bike. They walked after me, but didn't follow me once I was on my bike.

"Mike, school is this way," Lucas spoke with furrowed eyebrows, pointing in the opposite direction.

"You guys go on without me, I need to do something first." I smiled innocently at them before speeding away. I didn't want them asking questions. I eventually glanced behind me and they were gone.

I rode up to my house slowly just in case my mom was home. But she wasn't, so I raced up the driveway and quickly put my bike in the garage. I need to make a plan. If El is in the Upside Down, I'm not leaving her there any longer than absolutely necessary. I will get her out.

I searched around and soon found a large piece of paper. I ran downstairs and pulled out my giant box of markers.
(A/N: I like to imagine he has this in his basement cuz that would be adorable)

I sat down at the table and immediately started writing.

Plan To Save Eleven

1. Find out more about the box
2. Interrogate the box man
3. Find a way to communicate with El
4. Talk with her and figure out how to get her out
And try not to cry too much

Yeah I'm content with that.

I sat back and looked at the page, and it was boring. Sure, I should go to school, but I could just skip again, right?

I leaned forward and rummaged through my marker box until I found all the colors I want. I started drawing stuff around the words. Like: the box, Eggos, El(kinda, I'm not the best at drawing), a banner that says "Snowball", and a few hearts. It took me a long time but I eventually finished.

I went back up to my room and hung the paper up on the wall. The plan is now in action.
