Caught | Again? |

Mike: So.. you guys want to head back to my place?
Lucas: I can't. My mom said I have to do chores.
Dustin: Have to take care of my hamster.. But I'll be there later.
Will: Me and Jonathan have a lot of catching up to do. My room needs cleaned up, because of the accident. And — basically everywhere in my house.
Mike: Okay then it's —
Mike felt heat dash up his cheeks. His friends put him in a embarrassing situation. Not that he hated El, he really loved her.
Mike: Just me and El.
Eleven: Yeah.
They all left on bike, side by side.
Will: See you!
Will departed from the group.
Dustin: Later!
Dustin departed shortly after.
Lucas: Bye, man.
Lucas departed last. Now Mike and Eleven were alone. They were finally at the Wheeler's house, and they both jumped off. Mike held the door for Eleven, and they both entered.
Karen: Hello, you two.
Mike: Hey Mom.
Eleven: Hi.
The two went downstairs. Mike flopped onto the couch. Mike looked at Eleven, who was sitting next to her.
Mike: Thanks for going to the snowball with me, El.
Eleven: You're welcome.
Mike: I am glad you were there, you know?
Eleven: Why?
Mike: Well.. I just.
Eleven: Mike.
Mike: Yes?
Eleven: Friends don't lie.
Mike: Remember when we hid at the school?
Eleven: Yes.
Memories flooded in their mind. Good and bad times.
Mike: I wanted to take you to the snowball because I love you. And, when you left I felt..
Eleven: Sad. Lonely.
Mike felt that Eleven understood him.
Mike: Yeah.. how did you know?
Eleven: I felt that way.
Mike felt tears sting his eyes.
Eleven: Are you okay?
Mike: Yeah. I'm fine..
He wiped the tears away.
Mike: I love you, El.
Eleven: I love you too.
Mike had explained what love was to Eleven before, and she remembered.
Mike: You — Do?
Eleven: Yes.
Mike kissed her. At this time, Nancy and Barb came down.
Nancy: Well then..
Barb: Wow.
Mike flinched, and turned red like an apple.
Mike: O-Oh! You two can just — sit with us.
Eleven: Yes
Eleven was slightly red. She remembered Mike kissed her before. Before Mike's life was turned into a nightmare. Where Eleven was gone.
Barb: I'll just..
Barb sat on the floor. Nancy sat with her.
Nancy: Barb — has questions for you, Eleven.
Mike: Oh.
Eleven nodded, and sighed. Mike pulled Dungeons and Dragons, and gave it to Eleven. He looked into her eyes for a moment, then at Nancy.
Barb: What was that place? How did I even get there? What was that thing?
Eleven flipped the board upside down.
Eleven: Upside Down.
Barb watched silently as Eleven pulled out the Demogorgon. Then, Eleven pulled out a Witch figure. She put them aside eachother.
Eleven: You were taken. By Demogorgon.
Mike watched. Barb bit her lip, nervously.
Barb: That is what it was?
Eleven: Yes.
Barb: Why?
Eleven was silent.
Eleven: Don't know..
Mike knew Eleven wasn't lying. Nancy nodded.
Nancy: Hey Barb, I have to go.
Barb: Where?
Nancy: A date with Jonathan.
Barb wiggled her eyebrows. Nancy blushed.
Mike: Have fun.
Nancy: I will?..
Nancy left. Barb was alone with Eleven and Mike.
Mike: So..
Barb: I am going home, my Mom wants to take me somewhere for 'bonding'. Bye.
Barb went upstairs and shut the door. Mike kissed her again. Eleven gave an unsure smile, she was happy, but confused. Mike smiled back.
Dustin: Hey guys! I'm he— Oh. Oh.
Mike and Eleven were nose to nose, blushing and smiling. Then Mike broke the moment and Eleven looked at Dustin.
Mike: Wait — Wait! It isn't what it looks like!
Lucas: Oh yes it is!
Lucas was behind Dustin.
Lucas: We gotta tell Will!
Dustin: Yeah!
Mike: No, No, don't!
Lucas: Remember what Eleven always says..
Lucas & Dustin In Sync: Friends don't lie!
Lucas rushingly grabbed his walkie talkie.
Mike: No!
Will's Voice In Walkie-Talkie: Hello? I'm with my Mom in my room? Over.
Lucas: Oh my god! Will, you won't believe it!
Dustin: They were kissing!
Mike: No we weren't!
Will's Voice In Walkie-Talkie: I knew it! Over.
Joyce's Voice In Walkie-Talkie: I always thought they would be a cute couple when they were older.
Lucas: See? Even Joyce knew what is going on.
Will in Walkie-Talkie: Mom! Don't embarrass me. Alright, I gotta go guys. We'll talk about it tomorrow. Over.
Lucas: Bye, over.
Dustin: Bye.
The walkie talkie turned off.
Mike: Guys! I told you it wasn't what it looked like!
Lucas: Then why are you blushing?
It was obvious Mike was.
Mike: Okay, guys! It's late and you should go.
Lucas: Oh yeah, damn. It's 7 o'clock. Bye.
Dustin waved, and they left.
Mike: They're always teasing about us.
Eleven: Yes.
Eleven wasn't annoyed, but Mike was.
Mike: Well. I'm going to bed, goodnight El.
Eleven: Wait. Can you stay with me?
Mike: Oh.. sure, El.
Eleven sat on a bed that Karen had bought for her, and Mike lay down with her. Eleven closed her eyes, and shortly after, Mike did the same.
