This is my first fanfic ever so please don't judge. I'm not even sure if anyone will read this but I'm trying. Sorry for any mistakes and don't be afraid to tell me of any errors.

Smoke filled the small kitchen. Joyce scrambled to reach the oven gloves and coughed when she was hit by a blast of smoke as she opened the oven door. She pulled out the casserole, burnt beyond salvation. She sighed as she dropped the dinner she was going to serve, into the trash. Now what am I going to do, she thought. They are going to be here soon, and I have nothing to feed them. She picked up the phone and dialled after she decided on ordering pizza. She knows she can't let them starve. 

After a few minutes of sitting on the couch watching tv, she heard the door open, following was the sound of footsteps. "Mom. We're home!" Jonathan called from the kitchen as he dropped his keys with a clatter. Joyce left the couch to go into the kitchen, finding Will and Jonathan taking off their coats while Wills backpack lies open, with drawings of fictional characters taking down dragons and other unique creatures, splattered across the table. She smiles at the sight and pulls them both into a hug. "Mommmm!" Will groaned as he tried to slip free. "What time are they coming at?" Jonathan asked as he pulled away from the hug. Joyce glanced at the clock before replying "Around seven." "I'm going to go draw in my room" Will called as he closed his bedroom door. Jonathan started walking to his room, saying "I'm going to Nancys soon." Joyce took a seat back on the couch, turning the tv back on. She looked at the clock. 6:45. Only 15 minutes. 

She heard a knock on the door not long after. She looked at the clock for a third time. 6:58. Her heart skipped at beat. They're here! She quickly stood up from the couch and went to answer the door. She took a deep breath to calm herself and pulled open the door.

She stared out at the two people she loved most in this world, besides from Will and Jonathan. Her own little, odd family of sorts. She would often think, while with them, what if we were a family? Would they even want to be a family? But she could never think of the proper answer. But right now, staring out of the door at their faces, she sees hope. Hope that they will one day be a family.

Staring back into her own chocolate brown eyes, was his deep, ocean blue eyes. Standing only a foot away from her was the perfect father and daughter duo. Hopper and El.

Again I'm sorry for any mistakes and that this chapter was so short, but I'll try to make the next one longer. If I can.
