Ro's POV

It was night, and we were still in Steve's car driving to Dustin's house.

Steve: Wait a second, how big?

Dustin: First it was like that. Now he's like this.

Dustin says as he gestures his hands.

Steve: I swear to god man, it's just some little lizard, okay?

Dustin: It's not a lizard.

Steve: How do you know?

Dustin: How do I know, if it's not?

Steve: How do you know it's not just a lizard?

Ro: Because I've seen it before, and apparently it's face opened and ate Dustin's cat, so...

Steve: You're cat?

Dustin: Yeah.

We finally made it back to Dustin's house.

Steve opens his trunk, and then grabs his bat with sharp nails.

After that, we went to his backyard where the root cellar is.

Steve goes closer to the doors, while Dustin and I were behind him.

Steve: I don't hear shit.

Dustin: He's in there.

Steve then bangs the doors, then bangs it again, but no sound came from inside the cellar.

Steve then flashes his flashlight at us.

Steve: All right, listen you two, if this is some Halloween prank, your dead.

Dustin: It's not.

Steve: All right?

Dustin: It's not a prank.

Ro: Get that light out of my face, god.

He puts the flashlight down.

Steve: You guys got a key for this thing?

Dustin gives Steve the keys, and he opens the doors.

Steve flashes his flashlight to look for Dart, but he's not there.

Dustin: It must be further down there. Ro and I will stay up here, in case he tries to escape.

Steve slowly looks at Dustin.

Ro: I mean, I can go with you if you're too scared.

Steve then looks at me.

Steve: Scared? Please Joseph.

Steve then grabs his bat and flashlight and goes down the root cellar, while Dustin and I wait.

Then all of a sudden, Dustin looks at me confused. The same confused look Lucas gave me two days ago.

Ro: Why are staring at me like that?

Dustin: I just noticed, are you wearing pink?

Ro: Oh my god.

I face palmed.

Dustin: No seriously, something has changed with you. You wear shiny lipgloss, you wear light and pastel colors, you're wearing jewelry, and now you're wearing pink? I don't even know if you're you.

Ro: Oh my god is there anything you and Lucas can talk about instead of whatever I wear? I'm still Ro, the same Ro you've known since 4th grade, okay? So can you please stop talking about how I'm different, but instead focus on the real elephant in the room?
