It was Saturday morning and everyone was already peacefully sleeping in Hawkins.
"I'm home!", yelled a voice, entering El's room, waking her up.
"Jonathon? What the hell are you doing here? I thought you were coming next weekend."
"Mom wanted me to help you with your career."
"Can't I just have five more minutes? It's early and I'm tired."
"It's 09:00am. And no, you can't have five more minutes.", said Jonathon as he checked his watch before pulling his sister out of bed. "Now come on, we have stuff to do."
"Like what?"
"Find you a profession."
°°°
"Where are we going?", asked Eleven as she turned the radio down in Jonathon's car.
"To the city."
"This is stupid."
"No it's not."
"I've still got two years left of high school."
"Well, mom doesn't want you to be stuck left wondering what you want or do after."
"So I'm being forced to do this?"
"Stop being so negative."
"I'm not!"
"Yes, you are."
"Well, how can I not."
"Because you get to hang out with your favorite brother."
"Fine, I'll give you that."
Jonathon turned up the volume to his favourite tunes before finally arriving in the city, closer to where Lonnie lived.
He stopped over at a large building, the two passing by busy people with briefcases, suits and others with colorful clothing trying to spread fun into the world."We're here.", said El's brother before leading her inside the building and into a room with stands filled with leaflets, Jonathon picking some up and giving them to Eleven.
"These are all things I don't want to do."
!
"Why not? You've got, engineering, medicine, building, phycology-""Yeah, but they're not to my interest."
"Can you at least, try one?"
"Jonathon..."
"Fine, come with me,", he said before leading his sister again into another room.
All the lights were dim and there wasn't anything in the room, but a stage with instruments on it."What are we doing in here?"
"You'll see."
With the sly jump into the stage, Jonathon took the microphone in the center and had his friends come out coincidentally from the curtains and started playing the instruments on the stage.
A whole performance went on before Jonathon came back down and approached his sister who was clapping loudly, very impressed."Wow! That was great!"
"Thanks."
"You could be the next Bowie."
"My dream, but I don't think I can out do my idol."
"Sure you can."
"Maybe, one day. Did I give you any ideas?"
"Nope, Sorry."
"Worth the try."
"Definitely."
"Guess you were right, I'm no help."
"Hey, I never said that."
"But you haven't chosen anything yet."
Suddenly, Eleven grabbed something from the stand beside her.
"I have now."
"You don't even know what that is. For all I know, you might not like it."
El looked down and read the title before sighing in dismay.
"Acting."
"Acting? Really?"
"I could at least try."
"I said that exactly at the start."
"I've taken you words of advice, but I have no idea about how acting works."
"It's all in the leaflet. Read it."
"But Jonathon.."
"Do it."
"Fine, But are you sure you have nothing to help me with this hopeless profession."
"Actually, I think I can do something. Be back in a second."
Jonathon left the room and came back with a stack of papers.
"What? Your going to make me read those too?"
"No.. well, yes, they're old scripts from the Drama department. You could take a look at them if you want."
Eleven took them and looked at the five scripts.
"Anything for you my dearest brother."
"See, you've got the acting thing sorted. Now, come on, I'm hungry and I'm not waiting for you."
El smiled and rolled her eyes playfully before joining her brother and coming with him to get something to eat.
"Thanks Jonathon."
"Anything for you my dearest sister."
