"Mike! Don't hit woman!" Jude looked at him with a crazy look after Jude threw the door back in Max's face.

"I didn't hit her!" Mike threw his hands up in surrender.

"Hello! Hello! Guys, come on. Can I come in yet?" Max called from the other side of the door, beating on it with her fist.

"No!" Mike yelled back toward her.

"I don't understand." Lucas looked down.

"What do you not understand?" Mike asked, regarding the explanation him and Will gave after dragging the boys to the AV room again.

"Will saw something that looked like Dart last year?" Lucas asked, looking over at the Byers boy.

"Kind of, but there was no tail." Will explained in a small voice. Jude gave him a rub to his back in moral support.

"But then he heard it yesterday. The exact same sound." Mike nodded, looking at the clueless trio.

"Why didn't you tell us before?" Dustin huffed.

Jude smacked him upside the head, causing his hat to fall forward some. "Jesus, don't be an ass."

"I wasn't sure." Will said guilty like.

"See." Jude rolled his eyes at Dustin.

"So it's a coincidence." Dustin tried to defend Dart.

"Or not." Mike pointed out. "What if when Will was stuck in the Upside Down, he somehow acquired True Sight?"

"True sight?" Lucas asked confused.

"It gives you the power to see the ethereal plane." Dustin explained to him.

Jude inhaled deeply. "Which might explain his now memories, if you think about it."

"Jude's right, it makes sense." Mike nodded his head from next to the curly haired boy, who Mike realized smelt like a girlish perfume now. Then realized he hadn't even seen him at lunch.

"Elaborate." Lucas rolled his eyes.

"Maybe these episodes that Will keeps having aren't really flashbacks at all." Mike explained to him better, knowing that if Dustin did it he'd just get distracted, and if Jude did it he'd just get annoyed. "Maybe they're real. Maybe Will can somehow see into the Upside Down."

"So that would mean.." Lucas trialed off.

"Dart is from the Upside Down." Mike answered him honestly with a nod.

"We need to take him to Hopper." Lucas sighed.

"I agree." Mike nodded.

"Hopper?" Jude asked in disbelief with a roll to his eyes. "Hopper is an asshole who will just yell at us! Or just smack on a donut in my face and make me want to knock his stupid teeth in."

"If we take him to Hopper, Darts as good as dead." Dustin added in quickly with a flushed face.

"Maybe he should be." Mike shot back.

"How could you say that?" Dustin asked in disbelief.

"How can you not? He's from the Upside Down." Mike shot back, his voice a bit scratchy from already yelling so much. Jude rubbed the back of his neck for him.

"Maybe. But even if he is, it doesn't automatically mean he's bad." Dustin, once again, tried to defend the creature.

"That's like saying just because someone's from the Death Star doesn't make them bad." Mike argued with an insane look across his face, swatting Jude's hand away when he pushed a little too hard on his neck.

"We have a bond." Dustin huffed.

"A bond? Just because he liked nougat?" Mike laughed in disbelief.

"Jude! Would you get rid of The Secret Garden if it was from the upside down?" Dustin slapped the table over at the boy.

Jude gave him a dumb look. "Dustin, that's a book. I could get a new one!"

"But it's your favorite book! What if every copy was from the Upside down?" Dustin tried to defend his point by making one that didn't make a lot of sense. "Dart trust me!"

"He trust you?" Lucas asked him with a tone of disbelief.

"Yes, I promised I would take care of him." Dustin yelled as he threw his hands up.

"I told Mike I'd take care of him after he broke his wrist that one time, and I didn't. I just took all his jello." Jude argued with a knowing point his way. "Sometimes you can't keep promises."

Dart let out a screech from inside the box, frightening the five slightly as they looked down at it.

"The Secret Garden doesn't hiss like that." Jude said as he backed up some. The box flipped over, Mike grabbing hold of the mic.

"Don't hurt him." Dustin pointed a finger at him.

"Only if he attacks." Mike reassured. Jude looked with wide eyes at the box, waiting for something to happen.

"Just open it already!" Lucas called in annoyance. Dustin grabbed the remote, hitting the button as Dart rolled out onto the table slightly.

"Holy shit." Lucas spoke.

Jude gagged terribly when a pair of legs pushed out of side of Dart. He screeched loudly as Mike hurried forward, Dustin yelling out and pushing him aside. Jude yelled as he jumped over Dart, hopping up on the table in fear. The AV club door opened, due to Max, and Dart went running out of the room.

Dustin ran after him, taking Lucas and Max down with him.

"Where'd he go!" Mike yelled as he hurried out of the room. Jude jumped from the table and followed after, leaning down to fixed his cuffed jeans that unraveled from jumping.

"What was that?" Max asked in shock.

"Dart!" Mike yelled as he turned back to her. "You let him escape!"

"How'd you even get the door open?" Jude gave her a crazy look.

"Why did you attack him!" Dustin shoved at Mike.

"Come on!" Mike huffed as he hurried off.

"Don't hurt him! Don't you hurt him!" Dustin yelled after him, each of the party members running off in opposite directions.

Jude had been checking the lost and found for Dart, throwing around missing jackets and cassette tapes left. He huffed in defeat, realizing Dart hadn't been here. Rounding the corner, the boy gasped as he knock chests with Mike. "Michael!"

"Jesus, you scared me!" Mike held a hand to his chest. "What are you doing?"

"Checking the lost and found. What are you doing?" Jude asked him back.

"Heading to the gym." Mike pointed out as the pair began walking together. "You're a wimp."

"What?" Jude asked in disbelief.

"You jumped up on the table because Dart was running at you." Mike gave a snort at the memory. "You're a wimp."

"I'm not a wimp, i'd just rather not go to the upside down." Jude rose his hands in surrender. "Plus, I figured Dustin was gonna attack you and I was not about to be in the middle of that again."

Mike rolled his eyes. "I can't believe he thinks they're friends."

Jude gave a shrug. "It's nice to have friends you are different then."

Mike then remembered the perfume, giving a small sniff into the air and smelling it on him again. "You mean girls?"

"What?" Jude asked him with a crazy look.

"You smell like a girl." Mike gave him a weird look, narrowing his eyes. "Did you have lunch with Jennifer Hayes again?"

"No!" Jude defended himself quickly as Mike gave him a look of disbelief. "It was Tina Hutson."

"Oh, god." Mike threw his hands up.

"She gave me a little pencil for my birthday." Jude pulled the pencil from his backpack. "See. It's blue and everything."

"So what? You're dating Tina Hutson now?" Mike rolled his eyes.

"Dating? Are you crazy? I don't know how to date." Jude gave a wide eyed look. "I mean, not that she isn't pretty and nice and smart and kinda weird and stuff, but, just no, no, not dating."

Mike huffed again. "You could have had lunch with me."

"You never want to have lunch with me because I read out loud." Jude argued with him. "And you chew loud."

"I chew loud?" Mike gave a weird look his way.

"Yes." Jude said honestly. "Meet me in the other hallway, i'm gonna check the science lab."

Jude ran off, missing the sight of his cousin hiding behind a door, watching him leave.
