The group all sat around El as she sat with the blindfold around her eyes in her trance. Lucas popped the New Coke top open

"Be quiet" Max scolded him

"Oh sorry" he said while sipping it

"How do you even drink that?" Mike asked him in disgust

"Because it's delicious" Lucas said to him

"What?" the boys and Nancy all asked him

"The original is the classic, no question about it. But the remake... sweeter, bolder, better" Lucas said as Clove shrugged

"They taste the same to me" she spoke up to him

"Are you kidding?" Will asked as she shook her head

"You're both insane" Mike shook his head

"Do you prefer the original thing?" Lucas asked him

"What? No i'm not talking about the thing i'm talking about new coke" Mike said to him

"It's the same concept dude" Lucas rolled his eyes

"Are we still all talking about the same thing?" Clove asked confused

"Actually it's not the same concept" Mike shook his head

"It is" Lucas argued

"No it's not" Mike shot back

"Yes it is!" Lucas yelled as El yanked her blindfold off

"Hey!" she yelled, making Clove jump

"Sorry" Lucas said

"Sorry" Mike repeated after as El looked toward Clove

"Right, sorry El" she cleared her throat

"Did you find them?" Mike asked as El nodded

"The movies? Dustin's so freaked out the same day he decides to go watch a movie?" Lucas asked while pushing Clove around in the shopping cart

"That makes total since" she said while shoving some marshmallows into her mouth

"And you're positive he said gate and not great?" Max asked

"Yeah like this movie i'm watching is great" Will nodded in agreement

"It sounded like gate" El said

"Which explains how the mind flayer is still alive" Mike added

"Yeah and we just have to shut it again" Max said

"Then that sucker dies! Boom" Clove said while smacking her hands together

"But if not we can use Lucas's fireworks" Max said while looking to her girlfriend sitting in the cart with fireworks surrounding her

"Keep mocking my plan Max, Cloves on board" Lucas said

"He's right" Clove nodded while throwing a marshmallow at her

"Lucas don't involve Clove, she just died and came back to life" Mike said

"Yes I died and came back to life... as one does" Clove said sarcastically

"Like frankenstein" Will smiled

"See? Will gets it" Clove giggled

"Stop talking about Clove dying" El demands

"Noted" Lucas said as they rolled off toward the car

El used her powers to make the car alarm go off in the middle of the mall as the four Russian men inched closer toward their friends. The four looked up to see the eight standing on the next level of the star court. El swung her arm, making the car hit them all as Clove quickly rushed down the steps
