In his room, Y/N and Max stare at magazines.

Max: You let her off easy.

Y/N: I didn't want to hurt her. I don't wanna hurt my friends.

Max: Even if they lie to you?

Y/N: Hopper lied to me before. I was upset and threw things at him but didn't physically hurt him.

Max: Do you call him Dad or Hopper?

Y/N: It alternates, it's weird to call him Dad from time to time, it's weird to call him Hopper from time to time.

Max: Alternate, that's a big word for you.

Y/N: I've gotten alot better at my vocabulary.

Y/N grabs a magazine Max brought and they read through them. Y/N stops at a picture. She has platinum blonde hair.

Max: Oh, you found Michelle Pfeiffer.

Y/N: Pfeiffer?

Max: Yeah, she's the Scarface. I'm personally a Ralph Macchio fan. He's so hot.

Y/N: Well I don't swing that way so I can't really attest to that.

Max: I bet he's an amazing kisser, too.

Y/N: Again not gonna attest to that.

Max: Hey, uh...

Y/N looks to Max as she sits beside him.

Max: Is El a good kisser?

Y/N: I don't know. She's my first girlfriend.

Max: Ex-girlfriend.

Y/N: I guess that's a word for it.

Max: Hey, don't worry about it. Okay? She'll come crawling back to you in no time, begging for forgiveness. I guarantee you, she and Lucas are, like, totally wallowing in self-pity and misery
right now. They're like,
"Oh, I hope they take us back." God, what I wouldn't give to see their stupid faces.

Max gives Y/N a look remembering that he can find anyone anywhere.

Max: Hey Five?

Y/N: Yeah.

Max: We could technically see what they're doing right now.

Y/N: In the void. Invade their privacy.

Max: Technically not invading, just checking in.

Y/N sighs and puts the magazine down. He grabs a radio and turns it to a dead channel while he grabs his blondfold.

Max: Is this really gonna work?

Y/N: It's never not worked before.

Y/N wraps on the blindfold and enters the void.

Max: Holy shit, this is insane.

Y/N: Max.

Max: Yeah, quiet. I'm sorry

Y/N finally finds the party minus Dustin in Mike's basement. El lays on the couch eating chips, Lucas sits at the armrest, Mike sits nearby and Will sets up D&D.

Eleven*void*: What's wrong with me? What did I do wrong?

Lucas*void*: Nothing.

Eleven: What did I do wrong?
What could I have done wrong?

Mike: Do I have to go through this again?

Y/N: I see them.

Max: What are they doing?
