Same Night - Day One

Night - Hopper's Cabin - Eleven's Room

(Song:) Angel - Madonna

Eleven and Max were hanging out.

Max was dancing around, singing along to the song on the radio. "You must be an angel / I can see it in your eyes." Eleven was sitting on her bed, going through magazines. "Full of wonder and surprise." Max saw what Eleven was looking at, walking closer to sit with her. "Oh, you found Ralph Macchio."

"Macchio?" Eleven repeated.

"Yeah, he's the Karate Kid," Max answered, doing a karate slice. "Hai-yah!" They laughed. "He's so hot, right? I bet he's an amazing kisser, too. Hey, uh, is Mike a good kisser?"

Eleven shrugged. "I don't know. He's my first boyfriend."

"Ex-boyfriend," Max corrected. "You and me, we're single now, even though Hailey still has Dustin, so she's the only girl in the party that still has a boyfriend, but not the only couple from the party that is still together, since Niko and Will are still together." Eleven looked down sadly. "Hey, don't worry about it, okay? He'll come crawling back to you in no time, begging for forgiveness. I guarantee you, him and Lucas are, like, totally wallowing in self-pity and misery right now. They're like, 'Oh, I hope they take us back'." They both laughed. "God, what I wouldn't give to see their stupid faces." Eleven got an idea. "What is it?"

Later

Radio static was crackling from the radio.

Eleven was sitting in front of the radio, putting a blindfold on around her head and eyes.

Max was sitting on the bed. "Is this really gonna work?" Eleven nodded. Max grinned. "Holy shit, this is insane."

"Max," Eleven said.

Max dropped the grin. "Yeah, quiet. I'm sorry."

Eleven calmed her breathing down enough to try and go into the Void.

She heard Mike's voice. "What's wrong with me? What did I do wrong?"

She heard Lucas's voice. "Nothing."

The Void

Eleven appeared in the Void, looking toward where Mike, Lucas, Will and Niko seemed to be in Mike's basement, eating.

Mike was laying down, moping just like Max predicted. "What did I do wrong? What could I have done wrong?"

"Do I have to go through this again?" Niko asked. "You lied, plain and simple."

Hopper's Cabin

Eleven was still in the Void, but speaking to Max. "I see them."

Max got up from the bed to sit down next to Eleven on the floor. "What are they doing?"
