Holly Jolly

El sits on the couch messing with something while You, Mike, Cindy, Lucas, and Dustin talk.

Mike: We'll just tell our parents that we have AV club after school. That'll give us a few hours for Operation Mirkwood. 

Y/N: Mike the day we found El I searched Mirkwood and found no sign of Will. I just hope he still in the area. 

Cindy: We'll find him N/N. I promise.

Lucas: You seriously think that weirdo knows where Will is?

Y/N: So she's a weirdo because she has powers. Newsflash I have powers too. 

Lucas: We can trust you. She's suspicious. 

Y/N: My Spider-Sense doesn't tingle around her so she clearly isn't a threat. 

Lucas: Just because she isn't a threat doesn't mean we can trust her. 

Mike: Just trust me on this guys, okay? Did you get the supplies? 

Lucas then pulls out the supplies.

Lucas: Binoculars from Nam. Army knife also from Nam. Hammer, camouflage bandana, and the wrist rocket.

Dustin: You're gonna take out the Demogorgon with a slingshot?

Lucas: First of all it's a wrist rocket. And second of all the Demogorgon's not real. It's made up. 

Y/N: Dude I'm a 12-year-old with the powers of a spider and I fight psychos twice my size. It's a possibility. 

Cindy: He does have a point. 

Lucas: If there is something out there, I'm gonna shoot it in the eye... 

He then pulls the slingshot back.

Lucas: And blind it. 

Mike: Dustin what did you get? 

He then dumps out his bag and a bunch of snack fall out. 

Dustin: Well alrighty. So, we've got... Nutty Bars, Bazooka, Pez, Smarties, Pringles, Nilla Wafers, apple, banana, and trail mix.

Lucas: Seriously?

Dustin: We need energy for our travels. For stamina. And besides why do we even need weapons anyways? We have Y/N and her. 

Lucas: I agree with you on the Y/N matter but she closed one door. 

Dustin: With her mind!

Mike: Cindy what about you?

She then opens her bag. 

Cindy: My comm, a flashlight, a pocket knife, pepper spray, and a first aid kit. 

Y/N: Wow. Wait how long have you had that pepper spray?

Cindy: Never leave the house without it. 

Mike: And you Y/N?

You open your bag to reveal your suit.

Y/N: My Spidey-Suit, my comm, a flashlight, some snacks, and a couple bandages. 

You then look over at Dustin and Lucas who are still arguing. Cindy then pushes the two of them apart before they start hitting each other. Dustin then walks over and grabs a Millennium Falcon. 

Y/N: Dustin what are you doing? 

Dustin: I bet she could make this fly. Hey. Hey. Okay, concentrate. Okay? 

Y/N: Dustin she's a human being not a toy. 

He drops the Falcon and it falls to the ground.

Dustin: Okay one more ti...

He is then cut off by you shooting a web at his mouth. 

Y/N: As someone with powers trust me when I say that we don't like being used. We're people not pets. 

Eleven then stares at you and gives you a look of gratitude. 

Y/N: No problem.

Mrs. Wheeler: Boys! Time for school. 

You then walk upstairs leaving Mike with El. 

Mike: Just stay down here. Don't make any noise and don't leave. If you get hungry, eat Dustin's snacks okay. 

Mrs. Wheeler: Michael! 

Mike: Coming! You know those power lines?

El: Power lines?

Mike: Yeah. The ones behind my house?

El: Yes.   

Mike: Meet us there, after school. 

El: After school?

Mike: Yeah, 3:15.

He then gives her his watch. 

Mike: When the numbers read three-one-five, meet us there. 

El: Three-one-five.

Mike: Three-one-five.

She smiles at him and then Mike runs off.

Timeskip

Mike: How about this one?

Dustin: Too big for the sling. 

Cindy: What about this? 

She then hands him a rock.

Dustin: Too small. So, do you think Eleven was born with her powers like the X-Men, or acquired them like Y/N?

Y/N: Ixnay on the ider-manspay

Dustin: Okay. 

Lucas: Y/N's a superhero. She's a weirdo. 

Y/N: What did I just say? Also, I'm a weirdo too.

Mike: So are the X-Men. 

Lucas: If you love her so much why don't you marry her like Y/N'll marry Cindy.

Y/N: L-Lucas.

Cindy: I-Idiot. 

Mike: What are you talking about?

Lucas: Mike, seriously? You, look at her with the same look that Y/N gives to Cindy.

Y/N: What the fuck?

Lucas: Hi El. El! El! El! El! I love you so much! Would you marry me?

Lucas then hugs Mike. 

Y/N: Oh god that was the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen. 

Mike: Shut up, Lucas.

Lucas: And Y/N's all like. H-Hi Cindy. H-How a-are you? W-Would y-you l-like to h-h-hang out?

Y/N: I hate you so much right now. I just want you to know that. 

Lucas: Why because I'm stating the facts?

Y/N: I could kick your ass with both hands tied behind my back. You don't want to fuck with me.

Lucas: Okay.

Flash: What are you losers doing back here? 

Goon: Probably looking for their missing friend. 

Y/N: Not funny dude.

Dustin: He's in danger. 

Flash: Hate to break it to you Toothless but he's not in danger. 

Goon: He's dead. That's what my dad says. He said he was probably killed by some other queer.

Y/N: Wow the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree.

Goon: What was that?

Y/N: You heard me daddy's boy. Don't believe everything he says because clearly your ancestors are idiots too. 

Goon: Fuck you L/N.

Y/N: Sorry but I don't swing that way. 

Y/N: Bitch you call Will a queer yet here you are offering to fuck me. 

The party then laughs at your comment. Mike then starts to walk away but they trip him. 

Flash: What where you're going Frogface. 

You guys then help Mike up.

Cindy: Are you okay?

Mike: Yup.

Dustin then picks up a rock.

Dustin: Hey how about this one?

Mike: Yeah.

Dustin: Yeah?

Mike: This is it. 

Lucas: Oh yeah. Now this is the monster killer!

Y/N: Let's do this.

Cindy: We'll find Will. Together. 

Timeskip

On your way to the power lines, you see a police car at a jewelry store. You then hear gunshots and laughter.

Y/N; Better check it out. 

You run in an alley and put your suit on. You then swing to the store and see a man standing on top of an unconscious police officer.

Spider-Man: I don't know if you've heard but I'm sort of the sheriff around these parts. 

He then punches you with a sand fist knocking you into a wall. 

???: Ha. So, you're the Spider-Man. Pathetic.

Spider-Man: And who might you be?

???: Call me Sandman.

He makes a spiked mace and swings it at you. You backflip out of the way of his attack he then turns to sand and drops to the ground. 

Y/N; Where'd he go?

Your Spidey-Sense then tingles and he pops back out of the ground to hit you. You are knocked in the air and land on a roof.

Spider-Man: Ow. 

He then appears on the roof, and you run at him. You punch him and make a hole in his chest. 

Spider-Man: Oh fuck. 

He then punches you into a car. You get up and then get grabbed by Sandman.

Sandman: I think it's time I put you out of your misery kid. 

He then makes a sand blade, and you shoot a web in his face. He then drops you and you roll on the ground. You get up and run away from him. He tries to sweep your legs, but you jump over the attack and shoot a web at his legs. 

Spider-Man: Got you. 

He then escapes the web and punches you with a sand fist. You are sent flying but then stick to a car and enter a three-point stance. 

Y/N; Alright how do I beat a guy that I can't hit. 

As you run your Spidey-Sense tingles and you duck under Sandman's hit. 

Y/N; Wait sand that's it. 

You look at the street and see a fire hydrant. 

Spider-Man: Time to cool off. 

You then shoot a web at a manhole and swing it at Sandman. It hits him and cuts his body in half.

Sandman: Ha. That was your plan? Haven't you learned by now that you can't hit me. 

Spider-Man: I know, then again, I wasn't trying to. 

The manhole hits the hydrant and bends it a little. Water then gushes out of the empty space and splashes Sandman. He then turns into mush, and you stare at him. 

Spider-Man: Sandman more like Mudman. 

You then shoot a web and swing towards Mike's house. It takes you 30 minutes, but you finally get there. 

Spider-Man: Sorry I was late I had to fight a guy with the power to turn into sand. Mind if I change?

Mike: Sure.

A minute later. 

Mike: Hop on we only have a few hours. 

Cindy: H-Hey N/N.

Y/N: What is it?

Cindy: I-I was w-wondering.

She then presses her fingers together.

Cindy: If I could ride with you.

Y/N: S-Sure. J-Just hold on t-tight.

She does as you tell her to. The boys start to ride off and you shoot a web to swing with Cindy. She screams in excitement and terror as you swing from tree to tree. 

Cindy: How do you do this every day?

Y/N: I don't know. Just kinda got used to it after a week. 

Cindy: So, was what Lucas said true?

You freeze for a moment and drop the web you were holding. You then exit your thoughts and shoot a web saving the two of you. She then buries her head in your chest to feel safe.

Cindy: Never do that again.

Y/N: Sorry. 

Cindy: Back to my question.

Y/N: Um... no.

You then try to shoot another web, but nothing comes out. You try it again and it works this time. 

A/N: When you're embarrassed and try to shoot a web, nothing will happen. Just wanted to clear it up. 

Cindy: This is nice.

Y/N: Yeah, the view is beautiful. 

Y/N; Not as beautiful as her though.

You look at her who still has her head buried in your chest. You would have looked at her longer, but your Spider-Sense tingled. You zip out of the way of a tree and swing again. 

Cindy: You do this every day?

Y/N: Yup. I typically patrol after school. Other times I swing just to clear my head. 

Cindy: How so? 

Y/N: I don't know swinging is just kind of calming for me. 

With Mrs. Byers

Christmas Lights around the house light up and Mrs. Byers follows them. She goes into a cupboard and grabs a bundle of lights. 

Mrs. Byers: Will are you here? 

The lights then start to glow brightly.

Mrs. Byers: Good, good. Um blink once for yes, twice for no. Can you do that for me sweetie? 

The lights then glow brightly.

Mrs. Byers: Good boy. Good boy. Baby I need to know... are you alive? 

The lights then glow brightly. 

Mrs. Byers: Are you safe?

The lights then blink twice.

Mrs. Byers: I need to know where to find you honey. Where are you? Can you tell me where you are? Please baby, I need to find you. Tell me what to do. Please just... 

With you.

You and Cindy follow the others to Will's house.

El: Here.

Mike: Yeah, this is where he lives. 

El: Hiding. 

Your Spidey-Sense then tingles and you get a migrane. 

Y/N: Ahh!

Cindy: What is it N/N?

Y/N: Spidey-Sense. Something's here. Something dangerous.

Mike: No. No. This is where he lives. He's missing from here. Understand?

Lucas: What are we doing here?

Mike: She said he's hiding here.

Y/N: We need to leave now. 

Lucas: No!

Dustin: I swear if we walked all this way for nothing. 

Lucas: That's exactly what we did!

Y/N: Dammit! Listen to me.

Lucas: I told you she didn't know what the hell she was talking about!

Mike: Why did you bring us here?

Lucas: Mike don't waste your time with her. 

Mike: What do you want to do then?

Lucas: Call the cops like we should have done yesterday.

Cindy: We can't do that!

Y/N: Guys?

Dustin: Hey guys!

The six of you then see police cars moving somewhere. 

Mike: Will...

You then shoot a web and Cindy grabs on to you. You jump and swing after the cars while the others follow you on their bikes. 

With Joyce.

She had finished painting the Alphabet on a wall and stringing lights to it. 

Mrs. Byers: Okay baby talk to me. Talk to me. Where are you? 

He then spells out Right Here with the lights.

Mrs. Byers: Right here. Right here? I don't know what that means. I need you to tell me what to do. What should I do? How do I get to you? 

He then spells out RUN with the lights. Almost immediately after all the lights start flickering and something starts to burst through the wall. Joyce turns around and its long lanky arm comes out. 

After it bursts out, she then runs out of the house. 

Back to you

The six of you are still tailing the police cars and see it come to a stop at the quarry. You release the web and land behind a fire truck with the boys coming to a stop not far after. You guys then hide behind a fire truck and see them pull Will's body out of the water. 

Mike: It's not Will. It can't be.

You then hang your head and lean against the fire truck bawling your eyes out. 

Y/N: No. 

Lucas: It's Will. It's really Will. 

Cindy then comforts you and you bury your head into her shoulder. 

Cindy: No. Please no. 

El: Mike.

Mike then slaps her hand away. 

Mike: Mike? Mike what? You were supposed to help us find him alive. You said he was alive! Why did you lie to us? What's wrong with you? What is wrong with you?

Cindy: Mike it isn't her fault.

Mike: Yes, it is Cindy! She lied to us and tricked us into believing he was alive. This is her fault. 

El: Mike.

Mike: What?

Mike then runs off.

Lucas: Mike come on. Don't do this man. Mike...

Dustin: Mike where are you going? Mike!

Cindy: Mike don't leave.

Y/N: Mike!

He then grabs his bike and runs away.
