"I can't help it!"

"Just relax! It'll stop!"

Will was backed up into the corner of his room, and the powers he recently got were getting out of his control

Jonathan was trying to help by calming him down as well as Eleven, "Will it's going to okay." She told him

"What if something bad happens?" Will asked, looking down, "Nothing will happen...it'll be okay."

Eddie pressed his new poster against his wall. He took the nail from between his teeth and placed it at the corner

He looked around himself for his hammer. It was behind him yet too far, "Oh, come on." Eddie said

He stretched his arm as far as he could, not wanting the poster or nail to fall, "I wish you would just float over here."

The hammer Eddie needed lifted into the air drifting to his hand, his eyes widened, and he let out a scream, dropping everything.

"Be careful up there, Harrington. I'm not calling the hospital if you fall."

Steve was standing on a ladder screwing in new light bulbs while Billy held it still, "Wow, love you too." He mumbled

"What'd you say?" Billy asked, not quite hearing, "Nothing. Hand me another bulb." Steve tossed the old one down

Billy got it with his hand before it fell, "How about handing them to me instead?" He said

Steve smiled, twisting in the last one, Billy turned around, putting the light bulbs down, "Woah!" Steve shouted.

Billy quickly caught Steve having himself stumble into the wall, "I told you to be careful." The two started laughing

Then there was a creak, sounding like it was coming from the ceiling

"What's that noise?"

The light that Steve had just fixed came falling down, Billy's arm threw open, catching it but not with his hand

They both watched as it floated closely near the ground. They looked at each other with the same look.

Steve picked it up, and Billy put his hand by his side, "Since when could you do that?" He asked

Billy shrugged, looking at his hands. Then there was a knock at the door, and he opened it

Jonathan, Will, Eleven, and Eddie were standing awkwardly. When they peered inside, they saw Steve holding the ceiling light.

They stared up at the small hole in the ceiling, "I'm not even going to ask." Eddie said, letting himself in

The others walked inside behind him into the living room, Billy and Steve looked at each other again

The two shrugged, Billy went with the group, and Steve set down the light and then followed.

"What are you all doing here?" Steve asked, putting his hands on his hips, "Yeah..." Billy grabbed Steve's wrist to see his watch

"At five p.m." He finished, El looked at Will and Eddie, "We have to ask Billy something." She said

He crossed his arms, "What is it?"

"Has anything...floated perhaps in the last hour or so?" Eddie questioned, making Billy's eye widen

He cleared his throat to break the silence, "Why do you ask?"

"Just answer the question." Will spoke, "Alright. Yeah, something did."

"Was it the light in there?" Jonathan asked, pointing to the other room, "Yeah... yeahit was." Billy sighed
