"You think I'm crazy," Y/N said.

"No... Not exactly," Jonathan sat next to Y/N by the edge of the pool.

"See I told you, you'd think I was nutso."

"No... I just think you might have an overactive imagination, Barb could have just went home."

"No! I saw it! And what are you even doing at my house?"

"I was taking photographs of where Will crashed. And I heard screaming so I came this way, turns out it was Tommy almost throwing Carol in the pool."

"T-That was two hours ago. What were you still doing here? Wait!" Y/N looked at Jonathan's camera.

"Y-You were spying! I heard your camera! What the fuck?"

"No! It's not that I-I was just-"

"No! I... I'm gonna head inside now. Bye Jonathan."

"No, wait, Y/N." Y/N ignored Jonathan walking into her house locking the sliding door. She discarded the baseball bat and headed to her room, thoughts clouding her mind. If she expected anyone to believe her beside her friends, she would expect Jonathan to at least listen, but no, and he was spying into her back yard! What the actual hell? She shut the blinds, then plopped onto her bed, pulling the covers above her head. She could hear banging from the next room, god, this was going to be a long night.

"We just tell our parents we have AV club after school," Mike says.

"That'll give us at least a few hours for Operation Mirkwood."

"You seriously think that weirdo knows where Will is?" Lucas sighs.

"I am going to have to agree with Mike, she could have some power to like track people or something," Y/N says. Mike nods.

"Just trust me on this! Okay." He says.

"Did you get the supplies?"

"Yeah," Lucas says.

"Binoculars... From 'Nam. Army knife... Also from 'Nam. Hammer, camouflage bandana... And the wrist rocket."

"Your gonna take out the Demogorgon with a slingshot?" Dustin says skeptically.

"First of all, it's a wrist rocket. And second of all, the Demogorgon isn't real. It's made up."

Y/N scoffs, "Great! Yet another person who does not have faith in me!"

"Let me finish. If there is something out there, I'm gonna shot it in the eye, and blind it."

"Still offensive, you said 'if'! There is a monster out there, and it doesn't have eyes."

"How does it move around and take people without eyes?" Dustin wheezes.
