꒰ ✎ ꒱ؘ STARGIRL, a stranger things fanfiction
Waiting to be questioned at the Wheelers. The six adults in the upside down trying to find Vecna's house while the four were being questioned.
"Why were you guys exactly doing at the lake?" Powell asked as they all made eye contact with him. Everyone stopped for a minute trying to find the right words. A lot of uhs and ums.
"We were... um..." Franny started as she took the pillow from Dustin. "We were... We were just going for a walk." Max finished for her as she nodded.
"A walk? At 9 PM?" Callahan questioned as the parents watched them explain. Squeakily Dustin replies, "To the lake." He paused for a second. "We were gonna take a little swim."
Franny nodded, "Yeah I even brought my swimsuit but I left it there." She laughed nervously. "Little night swim." Franny's leg started to bounce up and down. She scratched the side of her face before gulping as Claudia spoke to Dustin. Lucas sighed shakily.
"That's why we didn't swim!" Lucas spoke as Max and Franny agreed. "And Nancy, was she with you at this night swim?" Karen asked as they all said no or yes to her.
"We're not sure," Lucas smiled as Franny watched Erica roll her eyes. "She was there. Then she left." Dustin continued to explain as everyone furrowed their brows. "That's when you guys came!"
"Right, and they dared me to say what I said." Max laughed as Lucas and Franny laughed together nervously. "About the killer." The three laughed excluding Max. Ted being Ted said something stupid which made Franny mutter something that only Lucas heard.
"Have you had any contact with Sylvia or Eddie knowing you four are friends with them?" Powell asked as they shook their head. "Those psycho... freak killers?" Dustin started as Franny rolled her eyes. "No, we haven't, we haven't even heard from them in ages."
Erica spoke up, "Oh, that's a bunch of bull!" Her parents said her name, "I mean, you realize they're all lying! It's just the facts!" Franny's mouth closed to Erica's truth. Claudia had said something to Dustin again, "No!"
"Lying to the cops is a crime, son." Lucas' dad told him. "I'm not lying!" Lucas replied. "He's right. We're telling the truth, Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair." Franny spoke. Erica spoke again as Ted spoke after her. "Oh shut up! Sending us to Juvenile Hall because we're lying?" Franny broke out as Powell told her to calm down. She rolled her eyes they all started to argue.
"Oh my god," Max groaned. "Shut up!" Powell yelled. They all went quiet. He told them about "trying a more civilized approach" but they all knew it wouldn't work. "One at a time. You." He pointed to Max who scoffed. "Whit, what? Why me?"
"Follow me," Callahan spoke. "I'm not even in the Hellfire club!" Max argued. "Do I need to cuff you?" Max stopped talking as she rolled her eyes before getting up and walking with Callahan.
The three stood quiet as Franny played with the ring on her finger that Lucas gave her two years ago at the Snowball Dance. She got up and walked to the hallway.
"Where are you going?" Officer Daniels asked as she turned to him. "Gosh can't a girl to the restroom?" She asked as he nodded, "Okay, go," Daniels told her before she gave a small smile and went to the restroom.
A few minutes later she left the bathroom and into the kitchen where she grabbed a soda and leftover pasta from last night. She warmed up the pasta before she grabbed a plate. Grabbing the fork, cup, and a few other things before she set them down on the island.
Lucas soon came into the room where he stood next to her. Dustin was in the restroom where he tried to contact the group. Lucas went to the cabinet to grab a fork before he ate pasta with Franny.
Holly came into the room with her device. Dustin came in after. "Anything?" Lucas asked with food in his mouth. "Nothing."
"You don't think they went through..." Lucas trailed off. "Watergate?" Franny and Dustin replied in sync. "Doubt it. They don't have any weapons or a plan or even us." Franny added as Dustin agreed.
"They might just be laying low 'cause the law got us," Dustin spoke. "The law? What is this, Gunsmoke?" Erica spoke up walking closer to the table. "The Stupid and the Ugly?"
Lucas rolled his eyes at his sister's appearance. "Should I round up the posse? Saddle the horses?"
"Erica. Please, just go away." Lucas spoke. Erica set her juice to the side.
"Here's the deal. Either you tell me what's happening, or I tell Franny what I found under your bed."
Oh. My. Gosh. "What was under his bed?" Franny asked as Lucas shook his head, "Please, no." Erica and Dustin both leaned into the table. "Spill your guts, cowpuncher,"
"What'd she find under your bed?" Dustin asked as Franny smiled. "Nothing," Lucas replied. Franny laughed, "Come on tell us! Is it gross?" Franny asked Erica who nodded.
"Scale on one to ten."
"A hundred. It's a—" Lucas had cut her off before she could say the final words. "The serial killer is a dark wizard from the Upside Down." Erica took a sip from her juice, "And we've been looking for him, but he's in the upside down, which we can't reach." Lucas took a pause. "At least we thought we couldn't until we found a gate at Lover's Lake."
"It was the reason why we were there and then the stupid cops grabbed us and are now harassing us to give answers to their questions," Franny added. "And if you tell anyone about this, that's including Mom, and Dad and Tina..." Erica stood silent finking from her juice.
"Especially Tina, I will smother you in your sleep." Lucas hated Tina for no reason. "Do you understand?" He asked as Erica thought about it. "Do. You. Copy?"
"The smothering in my sleep part, but not much else." Erica copied. "Why would they open up a gate at Lover's Lake?"
The three furrowed their brows. "The commies?"
"The commies didn't do it," Lucas argued. "Then who did?"
"Nobody."
"So it just opened up for fun?"
"Erica, you have no idea what you're talking about."
Dustin replied with something which led them to a question. How did the Watergate open? There are only two gates open as far as they know. One by El, one by the commies. So who is it?
"Holy shit," Dustin realized. He went on Vecna and why he has a motive to kill teens. They talked about how El contacted the Demogorgon to open the mother gate. Erica stood there with no clue what they were talking about.
"It's psychic contact just like when..." Dustin trailed off. "Vecna when he casts his spells."
"Exactly. So what if he's not simply killing them, he's making a powerful psychic connection with his victims?" Dustin trailed off about him as Officer Daniels was heard. Dustin leads them back into the kitchen still talking about Vecna. He wanted to take over the world by opening gates from each victim. Chrissy, Eddie's trailer. Fred, the street, Patrick the water.
The conversation restarted as Erica asked to Be Kind and Rewind. Which made Dustin having to start all over again about how the Mind Flayer wanted to take over the world and the Demogorgon was a foot soldier and now Vecna was his five-star general who can open gates with his mind.
The kids soon were sitting at the table talking more about Vecna. Went on for about half an hour. Franny soon fell asleep. She could still hear what was going on but she soon fell into a deep sleep where she couldn't hear them anymore.
"Franny!" Dustin shook her. She jolted back as she looked around the room to the lights in the kitchen flicking. S.O.S. "Did they go into the Watergate?" Franny asked as she yawned. Dustin nodded. "I underestimated them." He brought his mouth into a line before Franny stood up and walked to the flickering lights.
They all came up with a plan to take Holly's device and talk with the adults by there. Erica and Franny did the ice cream. Lucas and Dustin did the taking. They rushed into Nancy's room where they plugged in the device as Lucas set down the beads.
They placed the beads onto the board filling the whole page. It took them some time but they did it. It lit up as the board lit up. They all laughed at the excitement.
"Unplug it," Dustin spoke as Lucas unplugged the device. H. I. "Hi!" Franny and the others replied.
Stuck. That is what Nancy wrote.
"They're stuck in the Upside down," Lucas explained. "Uh, you can't get through the watergate?" Dustin asked.
Guarded. Nancy wrote once more. "Okay, so it's guarded?" Franny stated. "There's a gate at every murder site," Dustin spoke.
?. Nancy wrote. "How many times do I have to be right on the money before you trust me?" Dustin asked.
Trailer. Nancy wrote the last and final word. "Eddie's trailer. She wants us to go there." Franny said as Dustin nodded. "It's a long bike ride," Erica spoke. "We can do it. We've been in the Upside Down. Surely we can't bike seven miles." Franny smiled as got up and walked downstairs.
Franny saw Max as Max looked to her and gestured for her to come with them. I can't! She mouthed to Franny. Come on! She mouthed back. Max quickly walked to Franny as they walked to the garage grabbing the bikes for each of them.
"Let's go," Franny spoke. "Excuse me! No, get back here!" Callahan yelled to them. They all whispered before getting on the bikes and biking off. Erica slashed one of the parent's cars before she got on her bike and rode off with the four.
"Lucas! Franny!" Mrs. Sinclair called for them. "Lucas! Erica! Franny! Get back here!" Biking and working their legs was a good exercise for them, but not for Franny. She'll just stick to Softball. Her legs were starting to hurt. Her breathing was loud.
They soon arrived at Eddie's trailer. They jumped off their bikes and into Eddie's trailer. Franny grabbed a stick from outside and gave it to Dustin. He started to poke the gate with the stick before opened.
"Hi!" Franny smiled from the roof as she waved to Steve. He gave a wave back before Kirby spotted her sister and smiled. "Bada-Bada-Boom!" Dustin cheered.
Dustin and Franny grabbed the mattress that had stains and placed it right under the gate. Dustin tossed a sheet that looked like a rope and threw it into the hole in the roof. "There we go."
Dustin laughed. Robin was the first one to go, then Kirby, then Sylvia, then Eddie, then Nancy finally Steve. Unless Nancy didn't make it. She was in a trance.
"Nancy, wake up. Hey! Nancy!" Steve called out. "Vecna,"
"What do we do?" Eddie asked. "Music we need music!" Dustin called out.
