The Party was currently at senior prom after their graduation ceremony. Everything could only get better after finally putting an end to the Upside Down. Or was it the Abyss?

Summary
"Mom! Mom!"
She yells, urgent, panicked. Her mother is also alarmed, Nancy doesn't usually yell, unless she's mad, or as now, extremely worried.
"Nance, what's wrong?"
She asked, wiping her hands into a cloth, her brows furrowed in worry.
"I-I can't—"
Nancy tries to catch her breath first
"Breathe, honey.. what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Her brows creased, stepping closer to Nancy to hold both hands on her shoulder, grounding, comforting.
"I can't find Mike!"
Or which an argument leads Mike to sneaking out on Thanksgiving night and it's consequences.

Summary
Mike slid the cups across the counter, careful with the vanilla one. When the boy took it, he did so like it was fragile, like he didn’t trust himself not to drop it.
“Thanks,” The boy murmured. Their fingers brushed.
The boy froze.
Mike’s brain bluescreened. “Oh—sorry,” The boy said quickly, pulling his hand back, cheeks pink. “I didn’t mean to—”
“No! It’s—fine,” Mike said, mortified. “I mean. Totally fine.” Max made a noise that sounded suspiciously like she was choking back laughter. “Names? You people seem somewhat interesting, at least, more than our normal customers.” she asked.
“Dustin,” Baseball Cap said immediately. “Henderson. With an H. People forget the H.” “No one calls you Dustin Enderson. I'm Lucas.” Curly Hair told them. “Jane.” The girl said, focused on her ice cream.
The last boy hesitated. “Will. Will Byers.”
Mike wrote it down in his head like a permanent fixture.

Summary
During the Battle of Starcourt, Jane manages to escape through the elevator after Billy knocks Max unconscious. Unfortunately, Mike isn't so lucky.
Instead of chasing after El, the Mind Flayer decides to claim Mike for the hivemind, finally seeking revenge on the boy who foiled far too many of his plans. By turning him into a puppet, he creates the perfect trap, confident his two worst enemies will blindly follow the sound of Mike’s screams and end up falling straight into his grasp.
But he doesn’t seem to count on his favorite vessel actually fighting back, determined to drag the boy he loves, his heart, back into the light.
— OR —
Mike gets possessed. Will is the only person capable of bringing him back.
