And the two girls They’re close, whispering in each other’s ears and laughing not even noticing anyone but Robin knocks something over then Vickie spots her.

“Oh! Robin, hey.” She glances at Lucy, catches herself. “This is Lucy. My—” she stops, then forces a smile. “Girlfriend.”

Lucy beams at her, genuinely and sweet.

Robin’s face drops fully and then without thinking blurts.

“Oh! Yeah I have a girlfriend too. She’s French and she Lives in Canada like Montreal and She’s visiting next week. Her name is—”

“Joséphine,” Steve blurts from behind the counter. “Joséphine!” Robin nods wildly. “She’s a model. Makes crepes too!”

Lucy smiles, all earnest. “We’d love to meet her sometime. Wouldn’t we, Vickie?”

Vickie looks like she’d rather be anywhere else. Nodding “Can’t wait.”

“I said she was FRENCH,” Robin says, desperate biting her lip till it hurts.

Nancy stands up. And then in a perfect, French accent “Bonjour, I am Joséphine from Montreal. I make ze crepes and I am in love with zis American idiot.”

It’s summer ‘88. Mike’s hair is getting shaggy and curling over his ears and into his eyes. Ted keeps threatening to drag him to the barber and buzz it all off. “You look like a damn hippie,” he grumbles at breakfast. Then Will finds out and perks up immediately. Saying “Dude, I can cut your hair. I’m basically a professional. My mom does ours so I know what I’m doing.”

Mike panics right away saying “No way. Absolutely not. I like my ears attached to my head.”

But Will begs him looking up at him with big eyes. “Please, Mikey. Trust me. I won’t mess it up.”

Mike lasts maybe ten seconds. “Fine. But if I look like Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber, I’m blaming you.”

Then Will shows up with Joyce’s kitchen scissors and a comb, looking way too confident for someone who’s never cut hair besides seeeinf his mom do it . He makes Mike sit on the chair in the Wheeler kitchen, towel around his shoulders, and goes to work.

It’s... uneven. One side is definitely longer than the other. The back is choppy. But Mike looks in the mirror. He looks like he lost a fight with a weed whacker.

Then Will’s biting his lip. “Is it... okay?”

Mike meets his eyes in the mirror and smiles. “Looks great, Will.”

Later, he meets the Party at Mikes basement and before anyone can even speak. “No one says anything. Not one word. Got it?”

Dustin squints. “Dude, what did—”

“Nothing. Don’t.”

Will bounces up to them withscissors still in his back pocket, practically vibrating.”You guys like it? Mike’s hair?”

The whole Party freezes. Lucas looks nervous. Max’s eyes go wide. El tilts her head. Dustin opens his mouth but then closes it.

“Yeah,” Lucas chokes out. “It’s... great, man.”

“Really great,” Max says, too fast.

Will lights up. With pure happiness . “Awesome! I can do your guys’ next! Who wants to go first?”

Max’s eyes widen in full horror.

Everyone thinks Chrissy Cunningham survived Vecna. But Robin Buckley knows better. She finds her in the school bathroom, hunched over the sink and breathing like she’s ran a marathon. “Chrissy, are you okay?” And Chrissy’s head snaps up. For half a second her eyes aren’t blue. It’s dark and wrong and fixed on Robin like she’s prey. Then Chrissy sniffs the air like actually sniffs and blinks. Blue eyes. And a sharp smile. “Yes Robin, I’m peachy.”

But Robin starts noticing things. How Chrissy’s locker smells odd and How she’s always there when Robin turns a corner. How she watches Robin eat lunch with her head tilted, like she’s memorizing the motion. Chrissy Cunningham died in that house. Something else walked out. And it’s decided Robin is its favorite thing.

Here’s a bychance prompt I’m never going to write. It’s 1988. Will Byers still has a brutal crush on Mike Wheeler, but he’s convinced he’s not cool enough not normal enough, not anything enough for Mike to ever notice him that way.

Chance who’s the jock who died in ‘86 during for idk what reason but has been stuck as a ghost tied to Hawkins High. He can’t move on because he has “unfinished business.” Again idk what for.

he finds Will crying behind the bleachers after seeing Mike and El together. And another thing Will can only see him and Chance decides his unfinished business is helping Will win Mike over.

He becomes Will’s hype man feeding him lines, teaching him how to throw a ball, dragging him to parties, making him “cool.” But somewhere between pep talks, Will starts looking forward to Chance more than Mike.

In the end, helping Will find confidence and love is Chance’s unfinished business. Because he helped, he gets a chance to come back to earth alive and they get to be together.
