Dustin's doorbells rings, and him and Mike get up off of the couch and open the door. It's Eleven, Joyce and Hopper. Mike runs into Hopper's arms as tears run down his face.
"Wow!" Dustin yells, poking Hopper in the face. "Is it really him?"
Mike lets go of the hug, and notices Hopper's long beard. "Wow!" he says, "Your beard got so long!"
"Oh, and we have to show you something." Eleven says, as the 3 walk in the house and shut the door.
She opens the suit cases, where Jonathan and Nancy are.
"What?!" Mike yells, "Did they not check your suit cases before you got on the plane?"
"Oh..actually, no!" Eleven says, and begins to laugh.
"We have to open the gate today." Mike says. "But we have to go grab the rest of the party."
"Yeah, he's right." Dustin smirks. "I will go get Robin, Steve, and Max, and you go get Will and Lucas."
"Wait.." Joyce says, "Where on Earth is Will?"
"Umm... He wound up going to Lucas's house." Dustin frets.
"I will get Max." Mike says.
"Why? Cause you have a crush on her?"
"Yeah!" Eleven says, standing up. "Do you have a crush on her?"
"What?!" Mike yells, "No!"
"No time for this!" Joyce says, "We have to get to business!"

Dustin knocks on the door of Steve's house.
"Steve!" he yells when there is no answer. "Steve!"
"What?!" Steve yells, opening the door with only his boxers on.
"Jeez.." Dustin whispers, looking Steve up and down. "Robin isn't in here, is she?"
"You're disgusting!" Steve yells, "And no. She went home an hour ago. And besides, she's.."
"Come on!" Dustin says, "You have to come to my house."
"Why?"
"Today is the day."
"Oh, already? Damn!"
"Just get dressed!" Dustin yells.
"Okay!" Steve frets, "I will be out in a few. Just wait right here." he says, closing the door.

Joyce looks at the suit cases, and notices Jonathan and Nancy starting to wake up.
Eleven frets, closing the suit cases, and hitting them both with a box she finds.
"Easy.." Joyce says, "You know, they can still get hurt, right? My baby is in there!"
"Fine!" Eleven says, putting the box down.

Mike, Lucas, Erica and Will arrive at Max's house, but realize Dustin and Steve are already there.
"What the shit?! You do like her, don't you?!" Dustin yells. "I was supposed to get her!"
Mike goes to defend himself, but Max opens her door. "I've been waiting all day for this!" she says, smiling and closing her door. "But why did you all come?"
"Ask MIKE!" Dustin snaps, putting his hand out at Mike. Mike slaps his hand.
"I have a girlfriend!" Mike yells.
"No one asked!" Max begins to walk away.
They all follow.
"We still have to get Robin." Mike says.
"Maybe you should have done that instead of coming here!"
"Oh shut up!" ____________________________________ 
Hopper and Eleven are sitting on the couch, hugging each other. Eleven begins to cry again.
"You did it, kiddo. I knew you would come."
Eleven smiles, wiping the tears from her eyes. "But please tell me what is going on."
"The mind flayer is in Nancy.." Eleven says.
"And Jonathan." Joyce adds, coming into the living room from the kitchen.
"We have to go back to the place again and open the gate." Eleven whispers. "I will have to get it out of them, and it will hopefully go back in."
"Do the Russians still work there?" Hopper asks.
"Yes." Eleven frets, "I believe so."
Joyce sits on the couch, on the other side of Eleven. Joyce begins to hug her.
Eleven has flashbacks to her mom, and more tears run down her face. She hears the door open and wipes them off her face; It's Dustin and the others.
"You ready?" Dustin asks.
"Yeah." Joyce says.
"Omg! It's Hopper!" Will exclaims, giving Hopper a big hug.
"Damn." Max says, "Is that actually him?"
"Yes." Eleven says, "Now let's go." Joyce grabs the suitcases.
They all go outside, and Eleven shuts the door behind her.
"Luckily, we have 2 cars." Dustin says, throwing one set of keys at Joyce and the other at Hopper.
Hopper gets in the one car, along with Lucas, Eleven,  Robin, and the suit cases. Joyce gets in the other, along with Steve, Dustin, Erica, Mike, and Will.
They begin driving, already knowing where they are going.
"Wow.." Lucas says, "I feel like I'm dreaming. I can't believe you are alive."
"Me neither." Hopper says, beginning to laugh.
"I barely even know this guy." Robin says to Eleven.
"Well you should get to know him. He's an amazing guy." Eleven whispers, grabbing Hopper's hand.
