mike & el
All six party members were enjoying the rest of their hot July evening on Cerebro hill, as Dustin had officially named it.
Seeing as it was secluded and provided a pretty cool view of the town, it had quickly become one of their designated hangout spots. Sometimes they'd only stay for a little while, but most days they would spend half the day there goofing around and whatnot.
Mike and El being the exception, of course. They didn't stay anywhere for too long, anyone could certainly guess why.
"Alright, Dustin. You're up." Will announced, as he laid back down next to his curly headed best friend.
Dustin hummed aloud, as he searched his brain for a question. The others lying on the grass around him waited rather impatiently, as he took his sweet time.
Once he'd finally thought of one, he quickly sat up. "What do you think you were born to do?"
"What?" Lucas spoke up, surely asking the question on all of their minds.
Dustin always asked such off the wall questions when they played these games. Everyone else had the simple ones like favorite color or biggest fear, whereas Dustin asked questions like this.
"Like, what's your purpose in life? What were you put on this Earth to do?"
"Wow, that's deep." Mike snorted, as he continued mindlessly twirling El's hair around his finger.
"I think I was born to invent something great!" Dustin declared, ignoring their clearly amused reactions. "I'll be the next Alexander Graham Bell!"
"That's a big dream you got there Dusty bun." Max teased, rolling her head to the side to look at Lucas. This only made the two of them laugh harder, resulting in the rest of the Party doing just the same.
As they had done with all the questions before, each would give their answer, earning mostly unwanted feedback from those around them.
El tried to pay attention to their answers, but quickly got distracted by her own thoughts.
What was she put on this Earth to do? Sure, she had her powers, which she had used to save the world multiple times now. That couldn't be her only purpose though. It just couldn't.
If the gate had never been opened to begin with, she wouldn't have had to save the world. She would've just been left with her powers and nothing significantly important to do with them.
Though she was certainly glad things had happened the way they did, otherwise she wouldn't be where she currently was, lying out on the grass, surrounded by her favorite people.
How was she supposed to know what her purpose was?
She knew more now about the world around her, but she was still learning every day. She wasn't completely sure about anything, really.
Except for one thing.
There was one thing in life that she was without a doubt certain was something that she was meant to do.
"What about you, El?" Lucas asked, snatching her out of her thoughts.
"I was born to love Mike." She proudly answered, with a bright smile on her face.
They all simultaneously burst into laughter, of course with the exception of Mike, due to her rather cheesy answer. Truthfully though, they didn't find it to be too surprising. This was El they were talking about here. She's all about Mike, all the time.
