*Eleven*

  Nancy let El take a shower and found her some of her old clothes.

  While Nancy was brushing El's short brown hair she asked her something, "You and my brother are you know, together, right?"

  "What do you mean?" She asked with a confused look on her face.

  "You have a crush on him right?" El still looked confused. "You like him, more than a friend," she tried to explain.

  "Oh, yeah I guess," she remembered, "he touched his lips to mine."

  "You mean he kissed you?" Nancy looked shocked. "Did you kiss him back?"

  "I didn't pull away," El said. "While we were hiding at the school."

  "I won't tell anyone," Nancy told her.

  "Promise?"

  "Promise."

*Mike*

  Mike followed his mom into the kitchen, after almost everyone left. Will, Max, Dustin, and Lucas were going to stay over tonight. Normally he wasn't allowed to have Max over for a sleepover, but she now had a girl to hang out with.

  "So what's going to happen with El?" He asked her.

  "She's going to live with us," Karen told her son.

   "Seriously?!" He tried to keep his room excitement on the down low, while on the inside be ecstatic.

  "Are you okay with giving your room up?"

  "Done," Mike smiled.

*Lucas*

  Lucas, Will, Max, and Dustin sat in the basement, bored.

  "Mike's to busy taking care of his girlfriend to know that he was supposed to come down 7 minutes ago." Lucas rolled his eyes.

  "So what's up with them," Will still didn't understand much of what happened while he was gone, "Mike made such a big deal when El left, what's gonna happen now?"

  "What if they end up living together?" Dustin said and chuckled,  "that would be one freaky house," he and the kids laughed it out.

  The boys heard the door open and close. El and Mike walked down the stairs. They watched as El sat in her old fort.

Lucas saw Mike blush while he looked at her. She was eating an eggo, which Mike had gotten her.

"So what are we gonna do?" Will asked.

"I was thinking maybe El would want to watch a movie with us."

  "Which one?"

  Mike looked through his movies. "Ghostbusters?"

  "Sure, we can explain it to her,"  Lucas nodded.

 
  *Will*

  While the rest were watching the movie, Will kind of zoned out. He had seen it so many times, he knew what happens. Will glanced at Lucas who sat next to him.

"What's up?" Lucas saw him.

  "Oh nothing-" Will started coughing.

  "You okay?"  Lucas looked into his eyes with concern.

  Will lowered his gaze, "I'm fine, I'll just get some water."

"You sure you don't want me to come with you?"

  "I'm fine," Will hated keeping secrets from his friends, but he couldn't worry them with the slugs just when things are getting back to normal.

  Will looked into the mirror in the bathroom, before coughing up a slug.

  At that exact moment Will noticed he had forgot to shut the door and Lucas had come after him.

  "Will? Are you okay?" His voice had a slight tremble. Will had never seen Lucas nervous or scared before, even though they have been friends for years.

  "Don't tell anyone, please," Will looked at his feet.

  "Okay, I promise," he rested his hand on his friend's shoulder.
