A snack-sized gate

Start from the beginning
                                    

He ignored me "It wasn't popular until I made it popular. I practically invented it. We're heading in the wrong direction."

"Steve. Where are you going?" Dustin asked

"Steve. Stop throwing a temper tantrum."

"Stop whining! Let's go. Trust me." Steve took us through the woods

"Dammit Steve! Trust the compass!" I shouted and ran after him

"Oh! Boom! There it is, shit heads!" Steve was through a bunch of bushes, and there in front of us stood skull rock. "In your face, in your stupid cocky little face."

"That doesn't make sense." I said as I looked down at Dustin's compass and grabbed it

"Yeah, yeah. Even with it in your face you still can't admit it. You just can't admit that you're wrong you little buttheads." Steve complained

"I concur."  a voice said from behind us, we turned around to be faced by Eddie "You, Y/N Wheeler and Dustin Henderson, are total buttheads."

I laughed and ran at him, Dustin following behind, we hugged him. At first he didn't really know what to do then he wrapped his arms around us and patted our backs. Once we let go of the hug we looked at Steve who seemed to be a little jealous. That asshat.

Eddie talked while I looked down at my compass, the needle doesn't seem to be pointing north.

"Hey, uh, Wheeler's not cursed, is she?" Eddie asked Steve

"Cursed? No, no way. Mental? Definitely."

"BOOM! Bada bada boom!" I yelled turning around quickly "We we're right. Skull rock is North!"

"Seriously? You're serious?" Steve yelled

"Mm-hmm." I nodded proudly

"This is skull rock!"

"Mm-hmm."

"You're wrong. 100%. Right now."

"Yes. And no."

"Oh my god."

"Look, the compass worked correctly when we left my house. It was correct on Curly. But it slipped the further east we went. Now it's way off!" I explained

"When I was leading us here, I wasn't wrong." Dustin realized

"The compass was." I smiled and held up the compass

"So you're using faulty equipment. Dude, you're still wrong."

"It isn't faulty, Steven--" I started

"That is not my name." He crossed his arms

"--Lucas, what affects a compass?" I pointed at Lucas

"An electromagnetic field." Lucas started to catch onto what I was getting at

"Yes. Anyone remember what has a strong electromagnetic field? It previously messed with our compasses."

"There's a gate." Lucas said

"But we're nowhere near the lab." Nancy

"There has to be a gate that we don't know about. Smaller, way less powerful."

"Snack-size gate." Robin said

"How? Why?" Steve asked

"No idea. All I know isn't that something is causing a disturbance with my compass, and the last time we saw anything like this, it was a gate. And honestly, I hope is a gate because we'd have a way to get to Vecna and free max of this curse."

I threw the compass at Dustin and he started heading the way the compass needle pointed

"Where are you going? Hey, hey, hey! Eddie's still a wanted man, we can't just go for a hike in the woods!" Steve shouted

"This might be the key to saving Max and Eddie. Let's go." I said walking down hill

"Wait, Y/N. Come back. What say you, Eddie the Banished?" Dustin asked

"I say you're asking me to follow you into Mordor, if I'm totally straight with you, I think is a really bad idea. But, uh, the Shire..The shire is burning." Eddie looked up like he was thinking

Dustin started jumping up and down and I smiled

"Mordor it is." Eddie stood up

"What is Mordor?" Steve whispered as I ran past him and Eddie to grab a bag of chips

"Get your stuff, dude. Let's go." Steve said annoyed as me and Eddie ran to catch up with the group. I ran up to the front to walk with Dustin
