part four: the date

Hawkins, Indiana Friday, June 7th, 1985 Mike's house

This was makes first and only date, (which is what he'd told himself) and he knew that he'd have to make a good impression on Eleven. If this date went the right way, Eleven and Mike could have a strong relationship.

(In his room)

"Where is that shirt?" He thought.

"Looking for this?" Nancy appeared while dangling his shirt in her hand.

"Oh, where was it?" Mike rubbed his head.

"Laundry basket." She replied.

Mike was just standing there, wondering if Nancy was going to give him his shirt back.

"Could I have it back?" He eye squinted.

"Sure, but where are you going?"

"Alright, don't tell mom.."

"I'm going on a date." He announced.

Nancy started to burst out with laughter uncontrollably.

"It's not that funny." He crossed his arms.

"Does dad know?" She said while still laughing.

"Yes." Mike sighed.

"With who?" Nancy continued.

"El." He replied,

"Eleven?"

"Yeah."

"Be careful Mike." Nancy warned.

Mike was a bit confused with that sentence, but he decided to ignore it.

(Hoppers cabin)

Eleven still hadn't told Hopper that she was going on this "date" with Mike, and she was EXTREMELY nervous too, probably more nervous than Mike.

She started to walk up to him, eating chips on the couch.

"Hop?" She called.

"What is it sweetheart?" He stuffed chips in his mouth.

"I have a question."

"Could I go to a restaurant with one of my friends?" The sentence finally slipped out.

"Your friend? what's her name?"

"uh. Mi-Mika."

Lying wasn't Eleven's specialty, especially when she's lying to peoples face.

"And what time will you come back with this "Mika" ?"

Hopper had no idea that eleven was lying to him, that's usually because she's not the perfect person to lie. (Especially to the chief of hawkins police.)

"Maybe 10:30?" Eleven hopped he would say yes.

He was rubbing his chin just to tease El.

"Of course you can go." He smiled.

Eleven's smile lit up the whole room.

"Thanks!" She happily replied.

(Don't ask how she got such a fabulous outfit)
