O H. Well, m a y b e she should’ve asked Mike. At least now she knows!

No, y o u have to tell me. You brought it up!

That doesn’t even make any sense, nerd. Bottom what?

Ugh, b a r f.

“I can’t wait to see that she’s real.” To be honest, El was convinced he’d paid someone to pretend to be his girlfriend. But alas, they’d know the truth soon enough. Either way, it would be nice to spend some time with the gang again.

“a bottom w h a t?” shes still a tad uninformed about certain slang. lets bare with her.

“Great! I’ll let Mike know then we’re on our way!” Mike was definitely getting the backseat to himself. Dustin and awl are practically besties now, and they have a lot to talk about. Starting with a little fashion advice.

“Only OF COURSE! We’ll make Mike tag along. It’ll be fun!” You c a n ‘ t turn the poor girl down now. Look how excited she is!

Road trip time? She’s packed!

Maybe, but at least we’re not as vocal! You’re making our ears bleed, Dusty-Bun.

You’re infatuated, huh? So. Gross.

Yes, we’re all so proud of you and your accomplishments. I heard you finally got employee of the month! Suck it, high schoolers.

of course. they have been through a lot together, after all. starcourt at seven? they can eat food court pizza, just like old times.

perhaps he’d like to catch up? she’s back in hawkins for the summer. it would be nice to reminisce with old friends... well, unless it would be too weird. mike and el had been more than friends, after all, but that was before college, miles apart from each other. they moved on.

puts everything back into perspective, huh? a lot has changed, she noticed. all the memories are the same, though.

Good! She needs some Mike lovins.

No, no. She gets it. No kisses. Just sugar.

Oh- Bummer.
