Open For Buisness

Mike: So, El.
Mike was steering while chatting with Eleven. School was over.
Eleven: Yes, Mike?
Mike: We are heading to Lucas's house. You want to come?
Eleven: Of course.
Eleven was still suspicious what Mike was hiding. They departed and padded inside. Mike went into his room and shut the door. Eleven raised a brow, and felt a bit left out.
Eleven: Nancy?
Nancy, Upstairs: Yes?
Eleven: Can I – Talk to you?
Nancy: Oh.. Sure!
Eleven walked up to see Nancy's door open. She walked in.
Nancy: What is up?
Eleven: Mike is leaving me out.
Nancy: What?
Nancy felt a bit angry at Mike.
Eleven: He was whispering with others.. and when I asked what was set up, he said 'nothing'.
Nancy: Oh. I see.. I think I know what he is doing.. But it is a surprise. And he doesn't mean to be rude, okay? You'll have to see, Eleven.
Nancy gave a smile.
Nancy: Boys like to surprise you, I guess. Like when Jonathan took me on a — Nevermind. Don't want to spoil it. Now, you better go out and see Mike.

LUCAS'S HOUSE

Dustin: Is it good?
Lucas: Yep, man.
Lucas nodded. Dustin stared at his suit.
Dustin: Lucas, I don't know if we overdid this..
Lucas: Yeah. You think that. But when it's the Wheelers, you never can.
Dustin: Okay.. True.
Lucas chuckled, and Dustin started laughing along.
Lucas: Now, go serve them.
Will walked in.
Will: Guys.. are you sure I can do this?..
Lucas: Will, we have to do this. Just do the best! No 'trying your best'. Now make the Grilled Cheese!
Dustin: And Pudding!
Lucas: Hey! I'm the boss around here. But yes, and the pudding.
Will: Well, okay.
Mike rang the door bell.
Lucas: They're here!
Dustin: Alright, Alright! Positions!
Lucas: Again, I'm the boss..
Dustin: Does it matter?
Dustin scurried to his spot where he should stand, nearly falling face first in the process. Lucas opened the door.
Lucas: Hello. Welcome! Let me escort you this way.
Lucas was doing a matter-of-fact-like voice. Mike and Eleven followed. Eleven was confused, but happy to be with her best friends.
Lucas: You can sit here.
Mike, Muttering: Thanks Lucas.
Lucas: No problem.
Will was trying to make grilled cheese.
Lucas: Dustin?
Dustin turned.
Dustin: Yeah?
Lucas: You should go ask them what they want to eat.
Dustin: But we only have grilled cheese!
Lucas: Exactly.
Lucas handed him a menu. Will waited patiently.
Dustin: Okay..
Dustin walked over to them. Mike looked up.
Dustin: Here are your menus..
Mike put it in the middle so Eleven could see.
Mike: Oh sorry El.. Can you read?
Eleven: Yes.
Mike: Oh..
There was two items on the menu. Grilled Cheese or Water. Dustin approached shortly after.
Dustin: Have you decided?
Mike: Yeah umm. I'll have the water and grilled cheese.
Eleven: Same as Mike.
Dustin: Okay.
Dustin walked back in.
Lucas: How is it for them?
Dustin: They haven't even talked.
Lucas: What?
Lucas peeked through, to see Mike and Eleven being silent for a moment.
Mike: So El..
Lucas: Now he finally talks.
Eleven: Yes?
Mike: Sorry for not asking if you wanted to go on a date. I was a bit too forward. I don't know..
Eleven: What's a date?
Mike: It's when you take someone you like like to a restaurant or somewhere special.
Eleven: Oh. It's okay. I like you too.
Eleven leaned on his shoulder.
Mike: So. We've known each other for a while.. and been through a lot together..
Eleven: Yes?
Mike: So I was wondering..
Mike was a bit nervous. He sighed.
Eleven: Friends don't lie.
Mike: Do you want to be my girlfriend? I mean, we're too young to be in a serious relationship.
Eleven: What is a 'girlfriend'?
Mike: It's someone who loves you and you love them back. And you are dating them.
Eleven: Oh. Sure, Mike.
Mike: Really?
Eleven: Yes, of course. I'll always be with you, Mike.
Mike: Thanks, El.
Lucas watched the whole thing, and turned to Will and Dustin.
Will: So, what happened?
Lucas: Bingo.
Dustin: He did it!?
Lucas: Yep.
Will: Nice.
There was a beep. Will pulled out two grilled cheese sandwiches and waters. Will walked over.
Will: Here, guys.
Will handed two grilled cheese sandwiches and two waters.
Mike: Thanks.
Eleven: Thank you, Will.
Eleven nibbled the new food. Mike gobbled it down. They were finished in 5 minutes.
Eleven: Thanks, Mike.
Mike blushed then grinned. He nodded.
Mike: You're welcome, El.
Mike kissed her gently. Eleven smiled.
Lucas: Alright! And then the pudding.
Dustin poured out about twenty cups of pudding.
Lucas: Jesus, Dustin. This isn't the end of the world!
Dustin laughed.
Dustin: Okay. I'll give them the pudding and we can all go home.
Dustin handed pudding and they ate it.
Will: Okay, guys. It's late so I have to go.
Dustin: Same, bye.
Dustin grabbed the left over pudding and left. Then, Will behind him. Mike and Eleven got up.
Mike: Thanks Lucas.
Lucas: No problem. Well, I better clean up.
Mike: Do you — need any help?
Lucas shook his head.
Lucas: Nah, I'm good. Have a good night though.
Mike waved, and Eleven and him rode home.

     —Sorry for the lazy ending. I have to go on a flight to Georgia. Bye.
