AMELIA SAT SIDEWAYS on the couch, playing around with the radio. olivia and eleven sat on the end of it, a look of boredom on their faces. "we just have to tell our parents we have av club after school. that'll give us at least a few hours for operation mirkwood." mike tells his two friends, the three of them surrounding the table and leaning on it.
"you seriously think that those weirdos know where will is?" lucas asks. he still didn't believe them. "just trust me on this, okay?" lucas nods. "did you get the supplies?" mike asks the boy. "yeah." he answered.
lucas pulled out a pair of binoculars. "binoculars... from 'nam. army knife... also from 'nam. hammer, camouflage bandana and the wrist rocket." lucas announces, placing all of the items down on the table as he called its names.
"you're gonna take out the demogorgon with a slingshot?" dustin asks, unimpressed. "first of all, it's a a wrist rocket. and second of all, the demogorgon's not real. it's made up. but if there is something out there, i'm gonna shoot it in the eye and blind it." lucas pulled the slingshot back in front of dustin's face, causing the curly haired boy to flinch.
mike sighed. "dustin, what did you get?" he turns to dustin. dustin takes his backpack and dumps everything out of it on the table. "well, alrighty. so we've got... nutty bars, bazooka, pez, smarties, pringles, nulls wafers, apple, banana and trail mix." he announced with a smile.
"seriously?" lucas asks as his shoulders fall. "we need energy for our travels. for stamina. and besides, why do we even need to have weapons anyway? we have them." dustin points out. "she shut one door!" lucas argues. "with her mind! are you kidding me? that's insane! imagine all the other cool stuff she can do. and maybe even the others." dustin says.
dustin suddenly got an idea. "i bet... that she could make this fly!" dustin goes over to where the girls were and took out one of mikes toys. "hey. hey." he says, catching elevens attention. she looked up, confused. "okay, concentrate. okay?" he drops the toy. eleven stared at him.
"okay, one more time." dustin picks it back up from the floor, deciding to try it again. "okay. use your powers, okay?" he drops it once again. "idiot." lucas shook his head. mike and lucas both sigh. "hey, what about you? come on." dustin turned to olivia, picking it up and doing the same thing.
mike took away the toy from his friend. "they aren't dogs!" he says. "boys, time for school!" karen calls from upstairs. mike puts the toy away while lucas and dustin quickly gather their things and head upstairs.
"just stay down here. don't make any noise, and don't leave." mike says, turning to amelia. she was the only one to speak the most to him. "if you get hungry, eat dustin's snacks, okay?" he tells her. lia nods. "michael!" his mother called. "coming!" mike shouts harshly.
he turns back to amelia and returned back to a softer voice. "you know those power lines?" he asks. she urgently nods, sitting upright at the mention of power lines. "the ones behind your house?" she asked. "yeah. meet us there, after school." he told her.
"when is that?" she asks. "3:15." he tells her. she stared, waiting for him to tell her how she would be able to know when it was time. "ah." he got the message, taking off his watch and putting it on her wrist. "when the numbers read three one five, meet us there."
amelia nods with a small smile. he quickly got up and put on his backpack then dashed up the stairs before his mother came looking for him. lia looked back down at the watch.
"three one five..."
AMELIA SAT ON the floor, still messing around with mikes supercomm. olivia was eating dustins food from the table and eleven was making the toy from earlier fly. she dropped it, getting bored. amelia set down the supercomm, also getting bored.
"guys, come on." she says, getting up from her spot on the floor and headed toward the stairs. olivia put down her half eaten banana and took elevens hand, following behind amelia.
amelia went over to their tv. eleven looked at it strangely, moving her finger across the top of it. olivia sat on the floor in front of the tv next to amelia while eleven kept looking around a bit more.
amelia concentrated on the tv for a second until it turned on. she kept switching the channels until it lands on an advertisement. it was a coca cola commercial. she looked at it for a moment before turning the tv back off.
eleven found herself going up the stairs. amelia and olivia eyed each other before going up there too. eleven walks down the hall and stops at one of the rooms. she opens the door and enters it.
eleven walks to her dresser and opens her music box. a soft lullaby played. while el was busy playing around with it, olivia went over to nancy's pictures. she looked at all of the baby pictures and paused on a few particular photos of nancy and barb.
lia noticed the look on liv's face. "what happened?" she asks, standing next to her. her eyes were still fixated on the photos. amelia followed them and landed on the photos too. her eyebrows raise.
"oh..."
