[UNDERGOING MAJOR EDITING RIGHT NOW!! HANG TIGHT]

All three girls were sitting in Eleven's house, with Max singing and dancing to 'angel' and Eleven and Sophia looking through magazines. Max glanced at Eleven's magazine and chuckled as she kneeled on the ground. "Oh, you found Ralph Macchio." She grinned. Soohia sat next to Eleven as she whistled. Eleven looked at them, smiling at the boy's last name.

"Macchio?" She questioned, giggling a bit. "Yeah, he's the Karate Kid!" The female then made a stiff arm and pretened she was gonna karate chop Eleven, causing the female to jump back and make them all laugh. Sophia looked at the picture, fawning over him. "Oh my god," she swooned. Max chuckled. "He's so hot, right? I bet he's an amazing kisser, too." she hummed. Eleven looked at her as if she was crazy. Max then got up and sat on the bed. "Hey, uh.. is Mike a good kisser?" She asked softly.

Sophia stiffened suddenly, looking away from them. Eleven narrowed her eyes, leaving Max to mouth 'Please it's for Sophia'.

The brunette rolled her eyes and plastered a fake grin. "I don't know. He was my only boyfriend." She said softly. Sophia looked towards them, still sort of distant. "Do you still like Mike?" She asked suddenly, leaving both Max and Eleven a little stunned. Eleven shook her head. "Um, no? I- I don't know if I.. Liked Mike in the first place. He was my first friend and boyfriend, and, well, I don't know. I think I got.. some of my feelings mixed up. I know he is my friend, and that's what I am content with." She explained, and for a moment, Sophia felt better.

"ey, don't worry about it." sophia started. "he'll come crawling back to you in no time, begging you for forgiveness. i guarentee you, him and lucas are, like, totally wallowing in self-pity and misery right now." she started to laugh, making el crack a smile and giggle. "they're like, 'oh, i hope they take us back.'" she mocked. the three laughed and max smiled. "god, what i wouldn't give to see their stupid faces." she giggled. el looked away, giving a face that showed an idea was forming. sophia looked at her, confused. "what is it?"

the two sat on the bed as el put on a blindfold, the radio now only having static. "is this really gonna work?" sophia asked softly. she had only seen el do small things, like shut the door and blow up the girl's drink from earlier. so she was skeptical about her powers. eleven nodded. "holy shit, this is insane." max's smile was big and she was loud. "max." "yeah, quiet. i'm sorry." it was silent. el could hear will freaking out over this. "what's wrong with me? what did i do?" "nothing."

the voices cleared and el was able to see the boys. "what did i do wrong? what could have i done wrong?" will cried. "do i have to go through this again?" lucas sighed. "i can see them." el told her friends softly. "what are they doing?" max asked as both females sat next to her. "eating."
will was eating chips while setting up the d&d board. "i just don't understand what i did to deserve this." he shoved another chip in his mouth. "nothing, nothing. that's my whole point. you are the victim here!" lucas tried to reassure him. "i know. it's just, why is she treating me this way? i don't know." "will-" "what did i do wrong? what did i do wrong?!" "will, stop. relax. just relax. okay? stop asking rational questions." "i know, i know, you're right." "yeah." "because women act on emotion and not logic." "precisley. it's a totally different species!" el spoke up to her friends this time. "they say we are 'species.' " she stated softly. "what?" max asked. sophia rolled her eyes. "the female species, dumba-" " 'emotion, not logic.' " sophia blinked as her voice rose with disbelief and anger. "what?" she and max said in unison. "can we shut up about this now?" mike rolled his eyes. "it's pointless." "no, mike. this needs to be discussed." "they broke up with you. what else is there to talk about?" "tons!" "yeah, we're trying to solve the great mystery about the female species." mike rolled his eyes as he ate another dorito. it only took him a minute to belch and start snickering. "dude, you can smell the nacho cheese." will groaned. lucas smiled slyly. "i got that beat." mike looked at him with confusion. "what?" will immediately took the hint. "no. oh, no." mike caught on quickly. "lucas, no ." lucas lifted his leg slowly, an both boys panicked. "no!" "lucas, lucas!" it was too late. el quickly threw off her blindfold and turned to her friends. "what happened?" the brunette burst into a fit of giggles, causing the other two to look at each other with confusion. "what- what happened?" they all ended up laughing together until they all heard hopper's car pull up. they all grabbed a magazine and sat on the floor, looking at them as hopper started yelling. "when i say three inches, three--" he slammed the door open, only to reveal all three teenagers on the floor. "do you even knock? jeez!" max scoffed, looking up at hopper. "yeah, jeez!" el huffed. "g-good evening, chief hopper." sophia flipped through a page of her magazine, not looking up at him due to her shyness. "whoa whoa whoa, hey. i'm sorry. i just thought that, uh-" "will's not here." max huffed. "max and sophia wanted to have a... a sleepover. is that okay?" hopper seemed astonished. "yeah. yeah, yeah. yeah. your parents know about this?" max nodded. "yup." sophia finally looked up at the drunken chief. "my mom is on a buisness trip, so i'm staying with max." she stated softly. "uh, yeah, it's cool. yeah. it's really cool." the chief slurred. max nodded at him. "did you need something?" hopper shook his head. "no, no. i'll leave. i'll just let you... i'll leave you." he then turned around and shut the door. it only took a few minutes for the girls to start writing names for spin the bottle. "holy shit, i can't believe we're really doing this." max giggled as she put the cap on the marker and tossed it aside. "ready?" "ready." eleven spun the coke bottle as it landed. "mr. wheeler." the three said in unison. "ugh, boring." max rolled her eyes, smiling. "yeah, boring." el giggled. "seriously, though. mr. wheeler is bleh. mr. clarke is even worst." sophia chimed in. both girls giggled as sophia looked up at el. "spin again." el went to grab the bottle before stopping and looking up at us. "against the rules." sophia smiled at the brunette. "we make our own rules." she stated. el smiled back at her as she spun. "billy." the three hummed. sophia and el looked at max. the female smiled as she went to grab everything for el. "okay, look, i should just warn you, if he's with a girl, or doing something gross, just get out of there right away before you're scarred for life." "max--" "no, i'm just saying, he's really gross." "max!" "okay, shutting up now!" before el put on the blindfold, hopper knocked on the door. the three yelled come in as hopper peeked his head inside. "sorry to interuppt but, uhhh, sophia? mike's on the phone." the blonde blinked a few times before jumping onto her feet. "o-okay! i'll be right there." she turned towards her friends as she gave them an apologetic look. "i might have to go after this. i promised mike i'd come over at the mall." max's face fell. "you heard what they were talking about!" she growled. "i know, but mike is my best friend. besides, i haven't seen him all week since i was with stanley. i'll make it up to you both." she smiled at them. el looked at her. "promise?" sophia nodded. "promise. friends don't lie, remember?" el nodded, and the female went into the living room, shutting the door behind her. she took the phone from hopper and brought it up to her ear. "hello?" "oh god, soph, where are you? i told you come over!" mike sounded extremely panicked. "i'm so sorry mike! i was hanging out with el and max and got sidetracked. i'll be right over, okay? i'm really sorry! you'd better have some clothes for me, okay? i'm staying the night since it's getting late." mike mumbled something to one of his friends before putting his attention to sophia. "okay, got it. i'll see you soon." "okay." "bye, mikey! love ya." she hung up the phone, grabbing her shoes as she shuffled out of the house, yelling a goodbye as she then got onto her bike and started biking to mike's.
