THE OLIVE THEORY

November 4th, 1984
4:30 pm, 📍Hawkins, Indiana

Dustin and Lucas are crouched behind an old car most likely talking about Max.

Stephanie hides on the other side of the car and looks at the two through the broken window.

"You told her?" Dustin whispers.

Lucas shrugs. "So what?"

"So what?" Dustin repeats.

"You wanted to tell her, too."

"But I didn't, alright? We agreed not to tell her and to look for Dart."

Lucas rolls his eyes. "Who you conveniently found."

"Are you suggesting that I'm lying?"

"I'm saying you have a creepy little bond with him."

"Yeah, that was before he turned into a Demogorgan."

"And you haven't heard from Mike?"

"No."

"Or Will?"

"No."

"Hopper?"

"No! No one is around." Dustin lowers his voice. "Why do you think I'm with Steve Harrington?"

"Because of Stephanie?" Lucas asks, confused.

"Oh. Well, yes. But he's the very very last resort."

Rude! Well, I sort of agree.

Lucas starts. "Something's-"

"Wrong. I agree." Dustin finishes.

"Which is why we need as much help as we can get." Lucas says with his hands.

Dustin and Lucas begin to look through the broken window on the other side of the car.

Stephanie ducks down as fast as possible to avoid being seen.

Lucas sighs. "She didn't believe me anyway."

"You probably didn't tell it right."

"That must be it," Lucas scoffs.

Lucas offers his hand out to Dustin. "So, we good?"

Dustin goes to take Lucas's hand but is cut off by Steve banging a chair on the car. "Hey! Dickheads! How come the only one helping me out is this random girl?"

Her name's Max.

"We lose light in forty minutes. Let's go."

Lucas and Dustin don't move.

"Let's go, I said!"

"Alright, asshole! God!" Dustin yells.
