"You guys look like the idiot." Pietro and Wanda laughed as they looked at the boys in their ghostbuster costumes.

"Oh come on! You guys aren't wearing costumes either!" Dustin yelled out as he saw the twins wearing their everyday clothes. The twins shrugged in unison. "We do not have the costumes" they chorused. "You're parents are the richest people in Hawkins". Mike deadpanned and the twins just shrugged.

When they all walked through the door of Hawkins Middle, they were met with laughs. As they walked down the hall, kids pointed at them and laughed, like they were watching the circus and the party was the attraction.

"When do people make these decisions?" Dustin murmured as he stared ahead, not daring to make eye contact with anyone. "Everyone dressed up last year." Will stated. "It's a conspiracy, I'm telling you."

"No, conspiracy is us being commies, you boys are just a bunch of идиоты." Wanda laughed at her sisters insult. The boys frowned at them. (Idiots)

"Who you gonna call? The nerds!" A boy shouted at them as he passed the group. Pietro turned to him, grabbed his head and slammed him into the lockers. Wanda and Pietro high fived before walking away.

Mike sat in Math class bored. The party wasn't in this class with him so he knew no one. His face sat in his hand as he stared at the front blankly.

"You will be getting into partners and completing this algebra worksheet." Everyone stood up and began walking towards their friends. "Ah, ah, ah. Stop right there, I'll be picking your partners." Everyone including Mike, groaned in disappointment.

One by one, the teacher paired kids with others. Some groaned in disappointment and some rushed over with joy. "Michael Wheeler and Pietro Stark." Mike rose his head in slight shock. He was paired up with Pietro?

Pietro walked over to him, flaunting a smirk that stretched so naturally across his face. The boy reminded Mike of the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.

"So what's up with you guy's obsession with the Max girl, do you like her or something." Pietro teased. Mike's face scrunched up at the nickname before a reddish hue took over his pale face, realizing what the new boy was implying.

"W-what no, of course n-not. It's my friends, they're like obsessed with her something." Mike stammered, picking at his nails and looking down so he wouldn't make eye contact with Pietro. But the boy just laughed.

"You are the adorable Wheeler, I was teasing" Pietro grinned at Mike. Mike finally had the courage to look back at him and immediately regretted it.

It was like they were trapped in a staring contest. They couldn't look away from each other. Pietro was about to say something, probably something that would make Mike lower his head in embarrassment but was cut of by the teacher.

"Wheeler, Stark, get back to work." She yelled sternly. "Yes ma'am" they murmured before pulling out the work sheet. Mike started solving the algebra equations, but not before catching Pietro stare at him.

The party (excluding Will) all rode their bikes on the side of the road. School had finished, the day had gone by so quick. They silently rode along side each other on the road.

A low rev of a car was heard from behind them. Both Pietro and Dustin turned around to see a blue car speeding towards them.

"Uh, guys?" Dustin said, catching the attention of the rest of the party. The car seemed to be going faster as the Party biked harder.

"дерьмо, дерьмо, дерьмо!" Pietro shouted in a panic. "Mike you need to haul ass!" Dustin screamed as the car got closer. (Shit, shit, shit)

The car suddenly swerved to the left as the party rode onto the grass, crashing into each other. Dustin swore as Lucas and Mike helped him stand up. "Was that..." Dustin asked, already knowing the answer.

"Mad Max"

"Trick or Treat!" It was night time and the Party was currently tricking or treating. An old women appeared in front of them. They held out their worn pillow cases so she could hand them candy.

"Oh! Well, aren't you cute? The little exterminators, a superhero and their pretty little girlfriend." The party frowned at her misinterpretation of their costumes. The Maximoff twins glared at the women, leaving immediately after receiving their candy. Wanda was dressed up as a witch while Pietro was dressed up a superhero.

"If I get another 3 Musketeers, I'm gonna kill myself." Lucas complained as they all walked along the street. "What's wrong with 3 Musketeers?" Dustin asked.

" 'What's wrong with 3 Musketeers?' ". Lucas mocked. "No one likes 3 Musketeers." Mike said. "Yeah, it's just nougat." Will agreed with the others.

"Whoa, 'just nougat'. Just nougat? It is top three for me." Dustin heavily disagreed with the boys. "Top three?" Lucas questioned in disgust. "Top three!" Dustin repeated.

"Oh god give me a break." Mike chimed in. "Seriously, I can just eat a whole bowl of nougat, straight up. What about you guys?" Dustin turned towards the twins.

"We hate it" they chorused without sparing Dustin a glance. The boy frowned before walking forward with the others.

All of a sudden, two figures popped out of a bush ahead of them. They all screamed but Lucas's high pitched scream stood out from the rest. The figures were revealed to be Max and Agnes, the new kids. Max was dressed as Micheal Myers and Agnes looked like a witch.

They both laughed at the Party's reaction. "Holy shit! You should have seen the look on your faces." Agnes said as she continued to laugh at them. "And you? Who screams like that? You sound like a little girl." Max teased as she referred to Lucas who looked embarrassed.

The two started to head down the street before looking back, realizing the Party wasn't following them. "Hey you guys coming or not? Oh, I heard we should hit up Loch Nora. "That's where the rich people live, right?" Max chuckled before continuing down the street.

Dustin, Lucas and their little boy crushes happily followed Max like little puppies. Pietro and Will were a bit wary so they kept their distance. Wanda and Mike were not that interested in following the newcomers, so they stayed back.

"Another full-size. Like seriously, rich people are such suckers" Dustin insulted after him, Max and Lucas got candy from another rich person. "Wait you're not rich right? Oh and sorry Pietro" Dustin asked before turning to the Sokovian behind him. Pietro just rolled his eyes at him.

"No, I live up Old Cherry Road." Max answered Dustin's question. "Oh"

"No, it's fine. I mean, the street's good for skating." Max reassured him. "Yeah totally tubular." Pietro already knew that the next few moments were going to be really annoying so he decided to head up to the next house. Conveniently it was the house him and his sister had been living in for almost a year, the Stark residence.

He knocked on the door and it opened to reveal his older sister Morgan, who looked at him with a bored stare. "Aren't you supposed to be with your friends trick or treating."

"I am, but trick or treat bag got full so I am here to get another one." Morgan rolled her eyes before letting the younger inside the house.

"Hey Morgan" Dustin and the others had caught up with her. "Hey losers" Morgan sighed before reaching for the candy bowl that was at her side. A smirk found itself on the speedsters face.

Everything was in slow motion. Pietro grabbed the bowl before Morgan could get it and and emptied it in his bag.

He laughed as he ran up the stairs with the stolen candy. The teens stared at the empty bowl in confusion. "Godamn it Pietro." Morgan groaned before grabbing the second bowl and handing it out to the younger ones.

Pietro snickered as he came back downstairs with an empty pillow case. As he passed Morgan, the older brunette grabbed him by the ear. "You little shit" Pietro whined in pain.

"Let go of your brother Morgan" Pepper Stark could be heard from the living room. Morgan let go of Pietro as the speedster held his ear in pain. "Out" Morgan said before pushing him and the others from out the house and slamming the door on their faces.

"Did you agree to this?" Mike turned to Will who was filming the Trick or Treat events. "What?" Will questioned as he put down his camera. "To them joining our party." Mike referred to the two new kids.

"It's just for Halloween." Will reassured. "You should have checked with me." Mike was clearly annoyed of their presence. "Well, they were excited. I guess I thought you'd be ok with it." Will told him.

"They're ruining the best night of the year." Mike said. Suddenly, someone was beside him, their shoulder connecting with his. "Come one Micheal, it is only for one night." Mike turned his head to see Pietro frowning at him. He rolled his eyes at the boy.

"Ya, well I really don't want them to be here." Mike told him. Pietro was the one to roll his eyes this time. "Come on" he simply said before pulling Mike towards one of the big houses on Loch Nora.

"Wha- What are you doing." Mike asked as he was pulled in front of a house. "I'm going to show you the best way to get more candy." Pietro said before ringing the doorbell with a shit-eating smirk.

Wanda was peacefully eating a Kit Kat before Agnes came up to her with a sweet smile. "I love your costume. It's looks like we kind of match." Agnes complimented while referring to the fact that they were both dressed up as witches.

"Thank you?" Wanda responded as she finished her chocolate. "I noticed that you were chaos witch. They're really old, how do you know about them?" Wanda was about to tell her that she didn't know what that was but something stopped her in her tracks.

Her world had flickered. It was so quick and hard to catch but she saw it and it caught her attention. "Wanda, are you ok?" Agnes's voice sounded like an echo or a noise that was too far away.

Again her world flickered, but this time, the new scenery stayed. This version of Hawkins was decayed, lifeless and gloomy.
The sky was scarlet red, lightning struck every few seconds. But one thing stood out.

Every time lightning struck, a figure appeared in the sky. It was tall and huge. It had multiple legs like a spider and its head was shaped like a seed.

Wanda stared at it in horror as memories from the previous years came forward in her mind. The memories of when she traversed to the Upside Down and met with the same figure that shown itself in the sky.

"Mike!?" Wanda's breath hitched when she heard the echo of Will's voice. "Will?!" Wanda turned around and yelled out for him. "Wanda, where are you?" Will asked in a state of panic.

"I am coming Will, hold on!" Wanda ran towards the area where she heard the boy. She saw him standing in the middle of street with confusion written on his face.

"Будет!" Wanda ran up to Will and hugged him. "Are you the ok" Wanda asked in broken English. Will nodded, he was about to speak but something behind her stopped him. (Will)

Wanda turned around to see the figure from before. "Will, Will we have to go." Wanda stammered as she grabbed Will's arm and dragged him behind a house where they hid from the figure that was getting closer.

She wrapped her body around Will's smaller frame. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see a strip of the figure reach out for them. Her eyes started to glow a scarlet red, ready to protect Will at all costs. But before her or the figure could do anything, Mike shook her and Will out of the trance. In front of them was Mike and Agnes. Behind them were Pietro, Lucas, Max and Dustin.

"Wanda, what's wrong?! Is Will ok?" Mike asked, noticing how Wanda was protecting Will with her own body and that her eyes were glowing. Once she blinked in surprise, her eye colour returned to normal.

She removed herself from Will and checked if he was ok, ignoring the others. "I couldn't find Will and then I saw Agnes call after you. Are you guys hurt?" Mike asked. Wanda shook her head, still in shock. She helped Will stand up, Agnes noticed that Wanda's stance made sure that Will wouldn't get hurt.

"Holy shit!" Dustin shouted. "Are they ok?" Lucas asked. "I don't know" Mike answered. "I'm gonna get you guys home, ok? I'm gonna get the both of home. Hold on." Mike stated as he helped the two teens in shock out from the back of the house.

Dustin tried to help him but Mike pushed him away. "I got them." Mike said harshly. "Mike?"

"Keep trick-or-treating. I'm bored anyways." Mike said. "I can bring Wanda home." Mike turned around to see Agnes. "What?"

"I'll make sure that Wanda gets home to her parents and you make sure that Will gets home safe." She reasoned. She took notice on how Mike hesitated. "Mike, it's going to be fine. Her house is like a thirty second walk from here" eventually, he agreed. "Fine, but make sure she gets home." Agnes nodded and gently took Wanda away from the raven haired boy.

"Come on Wanda, I'm taking you home." Agnes explained in a calm voice. But Wanda didn't want to leave Will. "но, Уилл. Мне нужно убедиться, что он в безопасности. Мне нужно защитить его." Wanda tried to pull herself from Agnes's grasp and go towards Will. (but, Will. I need to make sure he's safe. I need to protect him.)

"Wanda, it's ok. You protected Will and now he's safe. He's going to be ok, Mike is bringing home." Agnes held Wanda still. Stroking her face to calm her down. Wanda slowly nodded and let Agnes lead her to her house.

Agnes didn't notice Pietro watching the whole encounter, feeling helpless when he wasn't able to calm his own twin down. But was weirded out when someone Wanda never met was able to calm her down and convince her to go home.

What the absolute fuck was happening

Eleven stood in front of the TV in her room. A good commercial was playing but she took no mind to it. Using her powers, she switched the channels till it was a channel that had constant static.

She put a black bandana across her face and entered the void. She was going to visit Wanda in the only possible way she could.

"Come on Wanda, get in the bed." El turned towards the source of the voice to see Agnes holding a shaken up Wanda. El furrowed her eyebrows. What was Agnes doing here?

"Мне нужно защитить его." Wanda was in a state of shock, repeating the same words in Russian over and over again. "Will is ok now Wanda. He's with Mike." (I need to protect him.)

Agnes set Wanda down onto her bed. Wanda tried to fight back but Agnes and Wanda's low fatigue stopped her from doing so. "You have to go to sleep Wanda, your mom said so." Wanda shook her head, repeating the same set of words. "Мне нужно защитить его."

"somnum" Agnes muttered something in an unknown language that Eleven didn't recognize. In an instant, Wanda fell asleep. El's eyes widen as she ran forward. "Wanda!" She yelled, thinking she was in trouble. But something stopped her from going forward. (Sleep)

A force field was place in front of her, stopping her from going any further. Agnes turned around and faced El like she could see her. "El?" Before the two could interact any further, the scene in front of her turned into smoke.

El cried out as the love of her life disappeared before her eyes.
