DUSTIN DROVE THE THREE DRUGGED teenagers through the tunnels fast.

"What is this, the Indy 500?" Robin slurred as they hit another bump in the road, knocking Bea into a wall.

"Its the Indy 300,' he said and Bea shook her head.

"Its the Indy 500," she said and Steve shook his head.

Then they all burst out laughing, the drugs getting the better of them at this point. Dustin crashed into some bins, making Bea land in Steves lap in an awkward position.

Dustin was talking to Erica in the front, turning back to look at the three who say awkwardly in the back.

"You guys alright back there?" Dustin asked and Bea laughed, an almost drunk tone to her entire self.

"They're fine," Dustin reassured as they opened the door, Bea lying inbetween Steve's legs as he looked out confused.

"ยณLets go!" Dustin yelled and Bea stepped out. They stood in the elevator, watching it move erratically, upwards this time.

Steve jumped up, Bea and Robin laughing giddily.

"You look like your surfing," Bea yelled and Steve laughed.

"They seem drunk" Erica suggested and Dustin shook his head.

"Bea doesn't drink, at all. Not after dad," he said, looking to see her giggling with Steve and Robin.

"I'm a natural, check it out," he said before falling over, knocking Bea with her.

"Wipe out," Robin yelled out with a laugh before seeing Steve smirk at Bea.

"Hi," Bea whispered and Steve kissed her, pulling her into his lap.

Dustin turned to look at them, seeing Steve run his hands over Bea's body.

"Gross," Robin yelled and Dustin shook his head.

"Hey, Steve, hands off my sister, we've got to go," he said and Steve looked up at Dustin.

"Give me five minutes," he said, kissing Bea again.

She pushed him off with a laugh and he fell to the side of her, "Not here," she said, her voice slurring a bit.

Steve rested a hand on her thigh, too high for Dustins liking but at this point they must have been drugged because this doesn't look like his sister at all.

Dustin knelt next to Bea, feeling her head, "Shes burning up," Dustin said and Steve laughed.

"Course she is, she's so hot, makes me h-" he started to say but Bea cut him off, weakly hitting his arm.

Steve tried to kiss Bea, his lips running down her neck but Dustin kept trying to push him off.

"Steve, not now, we need to check on you," Dustin said and Bea laughed.

"You're not dad," she yelled and Dustin tensed up before kneeling next to Steve, prying his eyes open and checking his pupils.

"His pupils are super dilated," Dustin stated to Erica

"Maybe he's drugged," Erica suggested as Steve reached over and booped Dustins nose before reaching put like a little baby for Bea.

She laughed, crawling over towards him and Steve got an eyeful down her shirt, a smirk teasing his lips.

"Have you been drugged?" Dustin asked and Steve laughed.

"How many times do I have to tell you dad, I don't do drugs. Only marijauna," he said in a slurred state, a laugh slipping off his tongue as he looked at Dustin.

"I need to know what they did to you," Dustin explained, looking at his sister who was playing with the hem of her shirt.

"Are you gonna die on us?" Dustin asked and Steve booped his nose again, his other hand somehow still on Beas thigh.

"We all die my little child friend," Robin stated, "Its just a matter of how," she said, playing with her hair.

"Can we make a pit stop at the food court?" Bea asked, totally drugged out. Robin nodded.

"I would kill for a hot dog on a stick," she announced and the two girls laughed at each other.

They walked outside into the fresh air and Bea laughed, doing a little dance as she looked around, Robin eating the fresh air. Until two guards ran towards them, Erica and Dustin pushing them into a store room and slamming the door.

He opened the door, sneaking the drugged out trio into the movie theatre.

"All clear," Dustin announced as they walked into back to the future.

"You three sit," Dustin demanded and the complained, sitting down at the movie, some guy shushing them.

"Whatever you do, don't go anywhere," Dustin explained and they nodded, the three laughing as they watched the movie.

"Your hair is pretty," she whispered, fiddling with Steves hair.

The trio snuck out, running drunkingly towards the water fountain.

"I wasn't really focused, I was kind of making out with Stevie but was that mum trying to bang her son," Bea said and Robin nodded.

"The hot chicken was Alex P. Keatons mum?" Steve asked.

"He went back in time," Robin explained, bickering with Steve for a little bit about the name of the movie.

They all watched the ceiling for a second before Bea stood up, clutching her stomach, running towards the bathrooms, the other two following after her with similar reactions.

They all threw up the contents of their stomach's, Steve walking round once he was done and holding Beas hair up.

She turned around, smiling at her boyfriend as she wiped the sick from her mouth and chin.

They lay in the bathroom stool, Bea dragging the pad of her thumb over his bruise on his eye.

"You think we puked it all up?" Bea questioned and Robin nodded.

"Ask me something. Interrogate me," she said in a Russian accent.

"When was the last time you peed your pants?" Steve asked, leaning against the wall.

"Today, when the Russian doctor brang out the bone saw. Just a little bit," Robin said.

"Okay, my turn," she said. "Have you ever been in love?" She asked and Steve nodded, looking at Bea.

"Yep, Nancy Wheeler, turns out, not really. I found someone who's a little better for me," he said and Robin sighed, leaning against the cold bathroom wall.

"Shes such a priss," Robin said and Steve nodded.

"Then I saw Bea again, she basically saved my life and I just fell completely. With Nancy I made all the work but I seem to fit with Bea, I couldn't ask for anyone else to have stolen my heart," he said and Robin faked.

"I didn't talk to her at school much, whether it was because Tommy H would make fun of me or because I wouldn't be prom King. I don't really know. All I know is that now I have her, I'm never letting her go," Steve explained, kissing her forehead.

Suddenly, Robin went silent. "Rob, did you just OD in there?" Bea asked before crawling round.

She was okay. "I am still alive," she said, taking a deep breath.

Steve slid under the side, the three sitting there together in the bathroom stool.

"Steve, I like you, I really like you but I'm not like your other friends," she said before scoffing.

"Do you remember what you said about Clicks class? About me being jealous and obsessed?" She asked and Bea nodded. "It isn't because I had a crush on you. Its because she wouldn't stop staring at you," Robin explained and Steve looked at her confused.

"Bea, I'm sorry. I wanted you to look at me. But you couldn't pull your eyes away from him and his stupid hair and I didn't understand. Steve was a douchebag and you didn't even like her at that point and I would go home and just scream into my pillow," Robin explained and Bea looked shocked, realising that Robin liked her once.

"You like me?" She asked, having no problem with her attraction to girls, just shocked that Robin had a crush on her.

"Back then I did, I hope that doesn't make it weird for us now," she said, a front blush on her cheeks.

"Nah, we're good," Bea said, smiling at the girl opposite her.

She was totally excepting of it, seeing no reason around it, and sure, Bea had sometimes felt attraction to girls, not saying anything about it though.

"But Bea's a girl," Steve stated, still slightly drugged out.

"Steve," Robin said softly and it finally clicked.

Robin was close to crying and Bea just jumped at her, pulling the girl she had become so close with into her arms. They nodded at each other before Bea moves back, smiling at the girl.

It went silent for a while before Steve sighed, looking at Robin who was wondering what was going on in his head

Then, Dustin stormed in, an angry look on his face as he looked at the three.

"Okay, what the hell?" He asked and they started laughing again.

They all walked out. "We can't go to your house, I told them your name," Steve said and they bickered for a bit before they noticed some Russian guy.

They turned around, the five running down the escalator, sliding inbetween the bars.

They ran behind the scoops ahoy bar, Bea clasping onto Steves hand in panic. She tried to control her breathing, looking at the other.

Until suddenly, a car alarm went off. It was the others.

They all got up, seeing the car attack the Russians. "Holy shit," Bea said before looking up, seeing El and the rest of the gang standing up there.

They ran round, seeing Mike holding El up. She ran up to Jonathan, pulling him into a hug.

"I'm sorry," they both said at the same time, pulling away laughing.

"We haven't spent summer together, I was a bit preoccupied with my boyfriend and I'm sorry," She said.

Jonathan smiled, "I think we're both guilty of that," he explained and she smiled at her best friend.

"Just promise me this won't happen again," she said and he nodded, pulling her into another hug.

She pulled away, smiling at him before walking back over to Steve, taking his hand in hers

"You flung that thing like a hot wheel," Dustin exclaimed as he hugged El and Mike. Lucas and Erica talked for a bit before Robin asked what happened with the car.

"El has super powers. She threw it with her mind," Steve explained.

They all introduced each other, Robin, Erica and El, the newest addition to the supernatural gang they had formed.

"Robin cracked the code that led us to the Russians," Steve explained and Jonathan looked on confused.

"Russians? What Russians?" He asked.

"Those were Russians," Bea explained, pointing to the bodies. They all explained everything until El walked off, everyone talking about the Russians.

"El?" Bea asked as she walked up to the girl.

She was there just on time, catching El as she collapsed on the floor and placing her head in her lap. Mike rushed to her as she moaned about her leg.

Jonathan went over, unwrapping the bandage to show something infected in her leg.

It started moving and El groaned. "I've got you, its okay," Bea said before El screamed, Mike trying to comfort her but failing miserably.

Then the thing in her leg started moving and she screamed louder, a blood curdling scream.
