We played for 6 hour.
God damn it you should should of picked  to do a fireball not protection.
Then the thessalhydra would of been killed." Dustin shouted
"Whatever ." I said
I looked over at El who was sitting in the corner.
"Can I ask you for a favor?"
"Sure." They all said
"So when my mom gets home with El new stuff for her room,We will set it up. I will get Nancy to take her shopping for makeup and clothes."
They agreed.

I looked over at El and she was just staring at the wall.I went over and made she sure she was ok.
"El ,Are you ok?"
"Bad." she said as pointing to the game .
"It's ok El.Its just a game don't worry."

I heard my mom was home I ran upstairs.
"Mom let me and the boys take care of her room. Nancy take her shopping for girl stuff.

I told El Nancy wanted to take her shopping.
"Mike?"
"Yes ,El."
"What's shopping ."She asked with a question expression on her face.
"A thing girls like to do  ."
She nodded her head. Nancy and El went out to shop . We grabbed all the bags a took them up into the hallway. We first cleaned the room,removing dust and other crusty stuff. We made her bed it was pink ,with white sheets. we set up a desk . And then added a few other details. We heard the car . "GUYS THEY ARE HOME!" shouted Dustin
We all ran downstairs. El was carrying a big bag .
"El we have a surprise."
She started freaking out and crying.
"NO !NO MORE BAD MEN !"She screamed.
"El its ok.We did your room."
She looked up and smiled.
We ran upstairs to her room and opened the door. She was so happy she layed on the bed and laughed.
It was getting late . Dustin and Lucas headed home. El was asleep on her new  bed.I walked in kissed her cheek ,turned off the light,and closed the door.I then went to sleep. I woke up to my alarm .I got up got dressed,then walked out of my room to El's room.
I turned on the light.
El was sitting there her eyes were puffy.
"El what's wrong?"
She ran over and hugged me,
"No dark." she said
I held her tight. It's ok El.

I went downstairs and got her some Eggos. I ran upstairs and handed them to her.She devoured them. I told her to pick out a cute outfit for school.
She came out with a flowy shirt ,some black jeans,and her wig.
She looked at me then the mirror,
"Still Pretty?"
"Yes ,El very pretty."
She smiled.
