LATER THAT NIGHT SAGE AND THE boys were standing inside of her house, waiting for will to arrive so they can all trick-or-treat together. sage was in her costume. she was dressed up as a angel since the party didn't mind her not going as janine.

soon enough, the byers boy arrived and the four teens went outside with their candy bags.

"will! hey!" dustin smiled.

the car horn honks making sage smile as she fixes her angel wings.

"hey, don't cross the streams," dustin warns. "don't cross the stream!"

sage made her way over to the car as soon as it parks, walking over to the side will is sitting. the older byers boy sees her and lowers the window.

"hi, johnathan!" sage says with a smile. "hey, sage, how's everything?" johnathan replied. "it's been good! will? you ready?" the brunette replied then turned to look at will.

the bowl-cut boy nodded and began putting his backpack on. "hey, listen," johnathan cut in.

will stopped and looked at his brother, sage glancing over at johnathan too. "yeah?" will asked. "if i let you go on your own, you promise to stay in the neighborhood?" the older byers asks with a soft smile.

will slowly starts to smile at johnathan, glancing at sage for a split second. "yeah! yeah, yeah, totally." the bowl-cut boy agreed. "and be back at twins by 9:00." johnathan added.

"9:30?" sage piped in, grinning at johnathan.

the older byers boy gave the brunette wheeler girl a look. "9:00." he simply demanded.

sage huffed.

"yeah!" will agreed. "deal?" johnathan asked his younger brother. "yeah, deal." will said. "all right, sage? we have a deal?"

the wheeler girl looked over at the older byers boy and smiled at him. "we have a deal."

sage opened the door for will before johnathan spoke up again. "hey, will. don't let any of your spazzy friends use this, all right?" the brunette girl gasped in offense as johnathan handed will a red camera. "except sage!"

"okay," will said and grabbed the camera. "i hope it doesn't suck," johnathan said, imitating dracula. "that was so bad," sage said and laughed with will as he closed the door.

the two teens began walking to their friend group together as johnathan watched them with a smile.

"will!" lucas shouted. "egon!" dustin smiled. "yeah! you ready for tonight, man?" sage asked with a smile, nudging him.

"obviously!" will replied. "well, come on, let's go!" sage concluded and began walking off.

"TRICK OR TREAT!" THE FIVE TEENS said as the woman opened the door. "oh!" the lady chuckles with a smile, excited. "well, aren't you cute? the little exterminators. oh, and a cute little fairy!" the lady said.

the five teens slowly frowned at what the woman had addressed their costumes as. sage then just decided to snatch some candy from the bowl, walking off quickly and looking at her watch.

where is she? sage thought.

"if i get another 3 musketeers, i'm gonna kill myself," lucas commented. "what's wrong with 3 musketeers?" dustin asked. "what's wrong with 3 musketeers?" lucas repeated.

"no one likes 3 musketeers,"

"yeah, it's just like nougat."

"sage used to like it!"

"i hate it."

dustin rolled his eyes. "woah. "just nougat"? just nougat? it's top three for me." dustin said to lucas. "top three?" sage asked.

"top three!"

"oh, god. give me a break."

"seriously, i can just eat a whole bowl of nougat. straight up."

suddenly, somone in a michael myers costume appeared causing the five teens to jump or either scream. sage immediately clung onto will, the byers boy holding onto sage.

the person then laughed before removing her mask. it was max.

sage sighed and let go of will. "holy shit! you should have seen the look on your faces!" max said and smiled at sage.

mike sighed in annoyance causing his sister to look at him.

"and you?" max looked at lucas. "who screams like that? you sound like a girl."

lucas stared at her as she began to walk off before she stopped, seeing the group wasn't following.

"hey, you guys coming or not? oh, i heard we should hit up loch nora." max suggested and smirked at the wheeler girl. "that's where the rich people live, right?"

sage nodded, smiling back as a blush creeped up her cheeks. both lucas and dustin followed the red head with smiles on their faces, will following after them.

the wheeler girl noticed her brother wasn't following and looked at him. "hey, come on," she said making him sigh and follow.

at loch nora the six teens got their candy and were just leaving a house.

"another full-size. like, seriously, rich people are such suckers."

"wait. you're not rich, right?" dustin asked max, looking at her. "no, i live up old cheery road." the red head replied. "oh."

"no, it's fine. i mean, the street's good for skating." max said after hearing dustin. "sage comes over so i can teach her."

"hmm. she does?"

"yeah! she's fun."

"yeah, she's so totally tubular." dustin commented. max snickers. "what? did i say that right? or is it like, tubular." dustin tried correcting himself.

lucas joined in. "it's, like, totally tubular."

"totally tubular!"

"what a gnarly wave, dude."

max laughed a little. "stop. my ears are hurting."

sage walked with mike and will, listening to what max, lucas, and dustin were saying. will was recording them on his camera before moving it to where it can show sage.

"hey, sage," will called.

the brunette wheeler girl looked over and smiled at the camera, spinning around a little. will sent her a soft smile before moving the camera to mike, who looked like he was annoyed.

"did you agree to this?" mike asked will. "what?" the byers boy asked, putting the camera down.

"to her joining the party." the wheeler boy said. "it's just for halloween." will mentioned, knowing sage told him about it. "you should have checked with me." mike said then looked at sage.

"well, they were excited. i guess i thought you'd be okay with it." will continued. "she's ruining the best night of the year." mike told sage.

"mike, give her a chance." sage said. mike turned to his sister. "why? did you fall for her already?"

sage stayed quiet, not knowing what to say. will saw her reaction and saw a blush of embarrassment creep up to her face very slowly. the bowl-cut boy looked over at mike.

"mike," will whispers to him and shakes his head at him. the wheeler boy scoffs and walks off, leaving sage and will behind together.

sage sighed and grabbed wills arm, pulling him with her to go after mike. suddenly —

"watch it!"

"zombie boy!

"trick or treat, lesbo."

"boo!"

sage gasps and falls back with the byers boy, causing will to accidentally drop the camera. when the wheeler girl looks up she sees she's back in the upside down.

will looks over at sage in panic as he rolls over to stand up. he helps sage up and holds onto her for dear life.

"mike?" will shouts, hearing an echo. "mike?" sage shouts after and stares forward, whimpering in fear. "mike!" will calls out again.

the two take a few steps forward before hearing some noises. they look around when it seemed to stop, and seem to find nothing as it continues.

then, a ominous loud rumbling came from the sky causing their eyes to widen in shock as it growls, growing bigger into the sky. sage and will stare up at the sky before running off with each other to hide.

the shadow moves closer as the two scared teens run farther away. will finds a spot and pulls sage down with him, holding her hand and using his other to hug his knees. the wheeler girl closes her eyes, breathing heavily as she tries to get her powers to work in any way.

"will! sage!" mike calls causing the two teens to jump, screaming slightly. "guys, what's wrong?"

sage stares at her brother, breathing heavily as will looks at his surroundings.

"i couldn't find you guys. are you hurt?" mike asks.

dustin comes running down, "holy shit!"

lucas and max come in after. "are they okay?" lucas questions in worry.

max stares at sage confused. "i don't know!" mike replies, worried laced with his tone. "i'm gonna get you guys home, okay? i'm gonna get you home. hold on." the wheeler boys says before helping will up, holding onto him.

sage stares in front of her before seeing familiar red hair come into view. the wheeler girls looks over at max and feels a hand cup her cheek.

"hey, come on. let's get you up." max whispers and begins to help sage up. "all right, take it easy." dustin tells mike as he helps him. "i got him! sage come on." mike tells him.

max hands sage over to mike, staring at her in worry — concern.

"mike?" dustin scoffs lightly at the tone. "keep trick or treating. i'm bored anyways." mike tells his friends while wrapping an arm around his sister, walking off with will and sage.

"what's wrong with them?" max asked dustin and lucas. the dark skinned boy glances over at dustin and back at the three teens, not replying.

   "IT'S LIKE . . . LIKE WE'RE STUCK," will says to mike. "like, like, stuck in the upside down?" mike asks and hands his sister some candy, rubbing her back. "no," sage cuts in. "you know on a view-master, when it gets, like . . ."

"caught between two slides?" mike questions, understanding where she was going. "yeah. yeah, like that." sage says and bites into her candy.

"like one side's our world, and the other . . . .the other slide is the upside down." will explains. "and . . . and there was this noise coming from everywhere." will added making sage nod.

"and then . . . we saw something."

sage tenses up at the scene replaying in her head.

"the demogorgon?" mike asks. "no." sage says. "it was like this huge shadow in the sky."

"only, it was alive," will finishes for her. "and it was coming for us."

mike let's out a breath. "is this all real? or is it like the doctors say, all in your head?" he asks will. "i don't know. just . . . just please don't tell the others, okay?" will tells mike, turning his head to look at him. "they won't understand."

mike stays quiet for a little before speaking up, "eleven would."

"she would?" will asks. sage nods. "yeah . . . she always did." the wheeler girl says.

"sometimes i feel like i still see her." mike pipes in. "like she's still around, but she never is. i don't know. sometimes i feel like i'm going crazy."

"me too," will whispers before looking at sage making her smile softly at him. "yeah, me too," sage says and leans back on the couch.

mike looks at his sister then will. "hey, well, if we're all going crazy, then we'll go crazy together, right?" he asks them.

will chuckles softly and looks at mike. "yeah. crazy together."

mike then turns to his sister. "how can you go into the upside down with will?" he asks sage and gives her more candy.

the wheeler girl bites the inside of her cheek and sits up correctly as mike and will look at her.

"remember when el disappeared?" sage asked her brother, looking at him. mike nods. "you also saw those flakes float too right?" mike nods again.

"um . . . when we called for her . . . i may or may have not touched a few flakes."

"what happened when they touched you?"

"they kinda, like, they kinda just went into my skin. like, they were being absorbed into my skin." sage explained, doing hand motions so it can make sense to her brother. "and, i don't know, i guess those flakes were elevens."

"did you also get her powers?" mike questions.

sage raises her eyebrows and lights her fist on fire causing mike to jump back.

"i think i got a few, yeah," sage replies and makes the fire go out. "cool," mike whispers with a smile making sage smile at him.

"wanna show us some more tricks?" will asked the wheeler girl. sage nodded. "yeah! why not."
