"Eleven." Mike says as he walked up to the girl.

"Mike." El said as she embraced the boy in a hug.

"Is that..." Max asked as y/n and Lucas nodded.

The 2 parted, "I never gave up on you. I called you every night for-" Mike started.

"353 days" El said teary eyed, "I heard."

"Why didn't you tell me you were there? That you were ok?" Mike asked.

"Because I wouldn't let her." Hopper said causing Mike to turn around.

"This isn't gonna end well." Y/n whispered to the others.

The kids nodded in agreement.

"What the hell is this? Where have you been?" Hopper asked walking up to El.

"Where have you been?" El said back. Hopper walked up and hugged her.

"You've been hiding her." Mike said.

"You just realized this now?" Y/n asked.

"You've been hiding her this whole time!" Mike said hitting Hopper in the back.

"Hey! Let's talk. Alone." Hopper said stopping Mike.

Hopper dragged Mike into another room.

Y/n and the boys walked up to El, "I love this outfit!" Y/n said as they embraced her in a hug.

"We missed you so much." Y/n said.

"I missed you too." El said.

"We talked about you pretty much every day." Dustin said.

They backed away from the hug, y/n handed her a tissue, El looked up in confusion.

Y/n took the tissue and wiped the blood from her nose.

"Thanks." El said.

She turned to a smiling Dustin.

El put her hand on Dustin's face and felt the front teeth he had. "Teeth." El said as Dustin backed away in confusion.

"What?" He asked.

"You have teeth." El said.

"Oh. You like these pearls?" Dustin said, chuckling with y/n and Lucas.

"Grrrrrrrrr" Dustin purred.

"What the hell." Y/n said laughing.

"Eleven?" Max said walking up to her.

"Hey, um I'm Max." She said holding out a hand to shake. "I've heard a lot about you."

El looked at the hand and walked past it to Joyce.

Joyce embraced her in a hug. "Hey. Hey sweetheart." Joyce said.

They backed away from the hug and Joyce held her face.

"Can I see him?" El asked. Joyce sighed and led her too Will's room.

"What's her deal?" Max asked.

"I think that she thinks that you replaced her." Y/n said.

El and Joyce walked out and to the 'close gate' writing.

"You opened this gate right?" Joyce asked.

El nodded.

"Do you think if we got you back there, that you could close it?" Joyce asked.

El nodded once more.
