The Power of Love

The power of love is a curious thing,
Make a one man weep, make another man sing,
Change a heart to a little white dove,
More than a feeling, that's the power of love.

El sits up and smiles, after years upon years of being denied of going outside. She was going out. With Mike and the party and Max.

And she couldn't help but be excited.

She'd finally been introduced to the sleepy town of Hawkins, as Police Chief's not-so-secret daughter, Jane Hopper.

The party were taking her to the arcade, to show her the video games,  she has missed her whole life.

The first person she wanted to see was Mike.

Tougher than diamonds, whips like cream,
Stronger and harder than a bad girls dream,
Make a bad one good, mmm make a wrong right,
Power of love will keep you home at night.

On the other side of town, Mike was also wide awake and excited. Even though his hair was a disarray, and he had sleep in his eyes. But, all he wanted was to see his girlfriend.

He rushed into the bathroom, slamming the door behind him (almost making the house wobble on its legs).

"MIKE!" Nancy screams the young woman is home before she goes away to college with Jonathan.

Don't need money, don't take fame,
Don't need no credit card to ride this train,
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes,
But it might just save your life,
That's the power of love,
That's the power of love!

El threw open the front door of the home that her and Hopper had moved into after Hopper had introduced the town to her.

Hopper had seen the door open. "Jane! Breakfast!" Hopper pointed to the French Toast that is sat on the two plates sat on the kitchen table.

"Thanks, dad," El smiles at her father, making the butterflies flutter in Hopper's stomach whenever El called him 'dad'. It had taken her months to even call him 'Hopper' and now she was calling him 'dad', he was over the moon.

"Anytime, kid," Hopper smiled, rubbing El's shoulder after she had shut the door. "Anytime,"

First time you feed it might make you sad,
Next time you feed it might make you mad,
But you'll be glad baby when you've found,
That's the power that makes the world go round.

Mike rolled his eyes at his clueless father, as Ted yet again asked who Mike's girlfriend was.

"It's Jane, Ted. Chief Hopper's daughter," Karen said, putting a bowl of scrambled eggs in front of Holly, and a plate of bacon and scrambled eggs in front of Mike - who then covered his eggs in Syrup.

Ted said nothing to what Karen had answered and continued to eat his breakfast while reading the newspaper.

Nancy shakes her head at her clueless father, before turning to look at her baby brother. "You taking her to the arcade today?" Nancy asked, making Mike nod happily.

"Yeah, I'm so excited for her to see all the video games!" Mike smiled, shovelling more eggs and syrup into his mouth.

Holly looked over at her brother. "Has she not seen an arcade?" She asks, spoon hanging from her mouth.

"There wasn't one where she lived," Mike lied, to her about his girlfriend.

Don't need money, don't take fame,
Don't need no credit card to ride this train,
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes,
But it might just save your life.

El picked up her brand new pink bike, smiling at her father.

"Call me when you've finished, so I'll come get you and we can go to that diner," Hopper promised, making El smiles.

"Thanks, dad!" She kissed his cheek and hugged her him. She clambered onto her bike and starts biking towards the arcade.

They say that all in love is fair,
Yeah but you don't care,
But you know what to do,
When it gets hold of you.
And with a little help from above,
You feel the power of love!
You feel the power of love!
Can you feel it?

Mike struggled to pull his bike out of the garage, as Holly stood by him. "Holls, you're still too young to come with me," Mike said.

"Mikey! Please!" She begs, pulling on his striped polo shirt.

"Mom!" Mike shouted, trying to get Holly to release his top. "I'm gonna be late, Holly!"

Karen walked into the garage and spent the next five minutes pulling Holly off her older brother, and she quickly sent him on his way.

Don't take money, don't take fame,
Don't need no credit card to ride this train,
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel,
You won't feel it until you feel,
You feel the power, feel the power of love,
That's the power, that's the power of love!
You feel the power of love!
You feel the power of love!
You feel the power of love!

As Mike put his bike in the holder by the arcade, he saw Max and Dustin arguing (which Mike now guess was over Back to the Future vs The Breakfast Club).

He saw El stood next to Lucas and Will watching the pair bicker. El's curls were delicately flowing down her back, wearing a hand-me-down dress from Nancy, and her brand new white converse.

Mike walked up behind her and suddenly dipped her and planted a soft but quick kiss on his girlfriend's lips. "Hello, you," Mike cooed, standing her back up and smiling at her happily.

"Hi," she said meekly, she wasn't used to doing PDA in front of their friends and everyone else in Hawkins, Indiana. Either way, she still smiled up at him and they looked at each other with their signature 'heart eyes'.
