Mike and Eleven At Their Finest

Chapter 13: El's 15th birthday

Third POV

~~

El woke up and heard a knocking on the door. She sat up and rubbed her eyes.

"Yeah?" She called out to whoever was on the other side of the door. The door opened showing Hopper, Joyce, Will, and Jonathan with Hopper holding an eggo extravaganza with a candle on it.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear El, happy birthday to you" They all sang. El smiled at all of them still a little bit groggy and blew out the candle. Hopper set down the plate on her nightstand, walked up to her, and kissed her forehead.

"Happy birthday kid."

"Thanks hop" El said as Joyce walked up to her and hugged her.

"Happy birthday sweetheart, i cant believe you're 15." El laughed and smiled

"Thanks Joyce." Jonathan then walked up to her and hugged her.

"Happy birthday El."

"Thanks Jonathan." Last of all Will came up.

"Happy birthday brat" Will said as he hugged her.

"Thanks Willie" El said as Will gasped.

"Who told you that?"

"Dustin"

"Of course" Will said as he backed away.

"Happy birthday kid, eat your food and then get dressed, there are going to be a lot of surprises today" Hopper said as he walked towards the door.

"Ooooo like what?" El asked

"I don't know, you'll have to find out" Hopper said, closing her bedroom door. El quickly ate her food and got dressed. She went downstairs and went to the kitchen table and sat next to Will. As soon as will saw her he quickly put something in his backpack.

"What was that?" El asked

"Nothing" Will said nervously, El just shook her head and let it slide. Will got up and asked El to come with him. He pulled out a piece of paper.

"I drew you something." Will said as he gave the paper to his sister. She looked at the paper and saw a beautiful drawing of a forest, mirkwood to be exact.

"Will, it's beautiful, i love it thank you."

"Of course" Will said as he hugged her and then went back into the kitchen. El could've sworn she saw him wink at hopper but she was probably just seeing things.

"So what are we going to do today?" El asked excitedly.

"Be patient, child." Jonathan said.

"Fine" El said

"We gotta go run some errands, we'll be back soon" Joyce said as her, Hopper, Jonathan, and Will left. A few minutes after they left the doorbell rang. She quickly got up and answered it. She opened the door and saw Max.

"Max! What are you doing here?" El exclaimed while Max grabbed her arm.

"To get you ready, come on." Max said as she dragged El to her bedroom. They entered the room and closed the door behind them.

"What's going on?" El asked

"You'll see" Max went over to her closet and picked out a pair of jeans and a brown and blue flannel.

"Put this on" Max said as she threw El the clothes and rummaged through her closet. After El had gotten changed Max threw her a pair of black converse. She put those on and then Max handed her her old skateboard.
