Will's POV,
March, 21st-1986. 23:21
"El, would you please stop walking and tell me what's happening?! It's the middle of the night, where do you think you're going?! And leading me to?!" After dinner, El decided me to drag me outside, and give me a walk-tour through all Hawkins! We've been going in circles for a while now, all around Max's neighborhood. What are we doing here? I perfectly know what day is tomorrow, and El is not so good at keeping secrets. So I kinda guessed along this previous week that they were planning something. But I lost it when we started looking at the name of the streets and following random intuitions of the girl next to me.
"Here. I think we're fine" she finally states, breathing heavily after running around like a headless chicken, and taking a break
"What do you mean with that? El, where are we?"
"In a place" -I turn to her skeptical, and she rolls her eyes, taking a last big breath, and letting it out.- "A meeting place"
"Meeting place...?" The first person I think of, is Max. We're near her house, relatively talking. But it's a surprise when the person we see riding his bike towards us is Dustin
" 'Night ladies! How are we doing?" He says with a genuine smile, while hopping off. I don't get it
"What in the world are you doing here?"
"Why are all we here, Byers? In this specific moment, in this specific era. What brought the world to it's perfect, yet so chaotic creation?" I blink twice and El repeats my action, before brushing it off and asking something
"Dustin, did you grab it?" Dustin nods and puts his hand on his pocket
"Sure, Lucas had plenty" he proceeds to look back at me, and my hair. "But I think the bowl-cut is going to be a problem"
"Hey! What's your deal?! What's wrong with my hair?!"
"Everything. We've been through this before Byers, but anyways-" he takes out a brown bandana, and put it on my face, covering my eyes
"Wh- What are you doing?!"
"Like if you didn't know already! Will I considered you smart enough to catch up!"
"I mean it's not like I have no idea of what's going on, but that is actually what's happening! I don't understand anything!"
"Well that's the plan, you idiot. To give you a surprise. Now c'mon, El the Mage and Will the Wise! We have a path to follow! Calls of destiny!"
"I hope at least my mom is aware of this so there is no call to the police!" I say trying to copy his enthusiasm, and all I hear is El chuckling
"Whatever, let's get this over with" we are back to walking, and now it's even worse. I listen to Dustin's instructions, guiding El to move me to left or right, and it's getting on my nerves. After a while, there is a point where all is death silence, and the only noise are the bike chains of Dustin rattling constantly, but I still feel El's hands on my shoulders, so why are they so quiet?
"Dude, you should change your chains. They sound like they're about to break" I try to bring some topic up, but Dustin doesn't answer me, and I begin to worry. "El? You're here, right?"
"Yeah, I'm right behind you" I sigh in relief, but then...
"Why is Dustin not talking? Did something happen?"
"No... Uh- Dustin... He... Left"
"What?! Wait who is moving his bike then?"
"I am. With my powers"
