~~El, do you copy~~

"SHIT!" Mike yells furiously, "Call El Will," Will nods as Mike tosses him his walkie talkie.
"EL?! DO YOU COPY?!?! ITS AN EMERGENCY.." Will yells into the walkie talkie.

...

No answer.

Dustin takes over, "WE REPEAT. EL, DO YOU COPY?"
Then again, no answer.
"Shit." Mike sighs walking over to the counter. "We need to hide." Lucas suggests. "I agree, whatever that is out there, it does NOT sound friendly" Robin says, joining the conversation. "RUN!" Mike says, taking Wills hand.
"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. We are so dead.." Dustin whispers.

~~~~~~~~With Eleven~~~~~~~~

"Well, do you like that one?" Max eagerly asks. "No. It does not seem like me." El replies. "Well we are going to try them ALL of the until you find what seems like you!" Max exclaims, taking her hand. "Ohh! This one is very pretty, Max." El says turning to her. "Well, What are we waiting for?! Go try it on!" Max encourages. El giggles, entering the changing room. A few minutes later, she comes out "Woww, I love this one, can I keep it Max, please?" She begs. "Yeah! Thats what we came here for, also, you look very pretty in those clothes!" Max smiles, and then giggles. "Thank you, Max." El grins.

~~~~~~~With the others~~~~~~

stomp. Stomp. STOMP.
With every stomp, the beast, of some kind, is getting nearer, and nearer...
"Anyone up to take a look?" Robin whispers. "Not me." Steve sighs, "You guys?" They all shake their head "No" leaving Robin, the only one left.
"Ugh fine, whatever. I'll take a quick look..." Robin groans. Steve looks at her, making sure she actually wants to do this. She nods her head and crouches, she holds the counter with her hand , making sure not to fall down. "You really don't have to do this Robin," Steve murmurs while putting his hand on her leg. "I'll be fine Steve, I'll do it," Robin reassures him.
She sighs putting her other hand on the counter, hoping it was turned around. She peers over the counter, watching it. "What the hell is that.." She whispers, observing it.

But soon, it turns around, robin quickly ducks, hoping it hadn't seen her. "Shit what the hell was that?" Robin ask's concerned, "What did you see Robin?" Mike demand's quietly, "I-it was like, made out of dead, rotting, decaying human.." Robin says, sliding the rest of her body down the counter into a more comfortable position. "The mindflayer" Will and Mike say at the same time, looking at each other. "We have a backdoor to this scoops ahoy, maybe if we peer over the counter from the other side, see its turned around, someone can open the door. " Steve suggests

"Great idea steve, i was too freaked out to even consider that.." Robin says, nearly panicking. "Also, what the hell is a mind flayer..?" "We'll explain later," Lucas utters, making hand motions to calm down. "Steve, your closest to the edge, you peek." Robin whispers. "Fine.." Steve sighs. As he gets comfortable, he stands his ground, holding the edge of the counter. Soon enough, he looks, "Guys, its turned around, Dustin get the door," Steve whisper shouts, "And be quiet." "Copy that" Dustin says, making a run for the door and opening it as quietly and quickly as possible.

"SHIT, ITS TURNING AROUND, GET DOWN HENDERSON" Steve calls out quietly, and hides behind the counter quickly. "Shit," Dustin sighs and makes a hit for the ground.
"Is it turned around yet?" Mike whispers, Steve shrugs, getting ready to peek once again, "Yeah, its turned around, RUN" Steve  says quietly, signaling with his hand to go. Mike runs, holding Wills hand STILL and they end up making it. Dustin enters, and Lucas follows, they both make it. Steve and Robin are the only ones left, "See you on the other side.." Robin whispers. "Yeah, now Go!" He exclaims nudging Robin, "Alright dingus," Robin sighs, making a run for the door, she reaches it. "Come on steve..." Dustin says under his breath.

Soon enough, Steve makes a run for it and makes it, quietly, he shuts the door behind them, panting. "That was a close one.." Mike exclaims.
"Yeah, you can say that again" Dustin sighs, "You and Will must have been pretty excited though.." "What are you talking about?" Will blurts out. "Look down, at ur hands," Dustin smirks.
Will looks down, and sees another hand holding his hand, it was Mikes, thats why his hand was so warm. "I-I uhm- Look he was just scared," Mike yells, "Mhm, but I could feel the electricity" Dustin continues, "What?!" Mike utters.
"I don't know man, you guys are still holding hands," Robin grins. They immediately let go, blushing. "C-come on! You guys are being weird! Bestfriends can hold hands, right Will," Mike looks to Will desperately
"Yeah guys! Stop being weird about it," Will complains.

"Mhhm mhm" Robin utters, turning to Steve and Dustin, quickly high fiving them. "How do we even get out of here?" Lucas asks, eyeing the place. "I thought it was obvious- The door right there." Steve sighs in disbelief. "Right," Lucas continues. "On the count of 3, we run, 3, 2, 1, GO GO GO!!" Steve yells as they all dash out the door. "Shit, that was close.." Lucas mutters. "Tell me about it" Dustin agrees. "Will, can you try calling El again?" "Yeah, worth a shot," Will replies, bringing the walkie talkie out again, "Eleven, do. you. copy?" Will shouts into the speaker. "Ugh, yeah, we're here, what do you stalkers want?" Max responds annoyed, "MAX! Is El with you?" Lucas hopes desperately, "Yes, but shes asleep, what do you want." Max groans. "Max..? Is that.. Lucas?" El tiredly yawns, "Look what you did, you woke her up!" Max shouts, "No no! It fine Max, really," Eleven sighs. "El you there?" Mike repeats. "Mike.." El thinks. "M-mike! I am here now!" El utters through the speaker.

"Thank god," Dustin let out a relief sigh "Look, somehow, the MindFlayer, its.. back" Dustin talks into the speaker. "What? Where are you guys?!" El worrily asks, "El, this is bull, I swear" Max says laying back. "No! Its not bull." Steve says, concerned. There was a long pause of reconsideration, If Steve was there, they couldnt be lying "Ugh fine. We'll be on our way.." Max murmurs, turning off the walkie talkie.
