JULES POV:

We're in currently in Mike's basement.

El is finding Hopper in the void.

"I found him." El said.

"Where is he?" Max asks El.

"Woods." El replied.

"Woods?" Lucas said.

"He's with... Will's mom" El said.

"My-- My mom?" Will said.

"What is Mrs. Byers doing with Hopper?" I ask.

"What are they doing?" Max asks El.

"Ill... annoy." El said.

"They're going to Ill-annoy." El said.

Mrs. Wheeler knocks on tbe door.

"Mike! Breakfast!" Mrs. Wheeler said.

"Not now, Mom!" Mike yells.

"Illinois? Illinois, like the state? The state of Illinois?" Mike asks El.

El shrugs her shoulders.

"Ill-annoy." El said.

------------

Max and El and I are currently in the bathroom.

Cleaning El's nosebleeds.

Max looks at El's neck.

"Does it still hurt?" Max asks El.

"Only when I talk." El replied.

"Well, it's a good thing you're not Mike, then." I said.

" 'Blah,  blah, blah, blah, blah.' And you'd be in constant pain." Max said, and laughs.

"What are they still doing in there?" We hear Mike from outside.

"I don't know. Girls just like hanging out in bathrooms." Lucas replied Mike.

"Why?" Mike said.

"I mean, I don't know." Lucas said.

"They're conspiring against me." Mike said.

"That's what you're concerned about, right now?" Will whispers to Mike, but we can still hear them.

"It's not my main concern. It's just a sub-concern." Mike replied to Will.

"I thought it was already over." Will told Mike.

"It's not over, okay? We're just taking a break." Mike told will.

"She said she dumped your ass. That doesn't sound like a break." Will told Mike.

"It wasn't!" I yelled from the bathroom.

"You guys do realize we can still hear everything you're saying right?" I said.

El and Max laughs.

"Conspiring." Mike whispers.

"I tokd you, they're conspiring." Mike said.

And then someone knocks on the door.

"Not now, Mom!" Mike yells.

"Mike, open the door." We hear Nancy from upstairs.

------------

Nancy and Jonathan is currently in the basement, too.

"It was the same thing. The exact same thing that happend to Will last year." Nancy said.
