My Strange Thing??

"Is there anyone we can call for your parents?" Mike asks as Five and Eleven sit next to each other on Mike's basement couch. Mike's jacket around Nine's shoulders and Dustin's around Eleven's.

"Where's your hair? Do you guys have cancer?!" Dustin rudely asks.

"Did you run away?" Lucas asks.

"Are you in some kind of trouble?" Mike questions.

"Is that blood?" Lucas reaches out to touch Nine, but Mike grabs his hand before he can. Five and Eleven are terrified.

"Stop it! You're freaking her out!" Mike repremands.

"She's freaking me out!" Lucas argues.

"I bet they're deaf!" Dustin suggests. Dustin claps in their faces, making them jump, "Not deaf." He rules out that suggestion.

"Alright, that's enough, alright, they're just scared and cold." Mike leaves to grab clothes for them. The thunder booms, scaring them both. Dustin and Lucas take notice of their fear. Mike hands them cleans clothes.

"Here, these are clean, okay?" He says kindly.

Eleven rubs the soft fabric on her skin before standing up and starting to take her oversized shirt off, but it doesnt come above her thighs before Dustin and Lucas immediately turn and cover their eyes, all three of them repeatedly yelling "no, no, no, no, no!". Mike grabs Eleven's wrists to stop her, Five grabs the fabric and pulls it back down her legs. "Oh my god, oh my god!" Dustin yells.

Mike points to the batbroom, "S-see over there? That's the bathroom. Privacy. Get it?" Mike asks as Eleven grabs the clothes and walks into the bathroom. Mike follows her to close the door, but Eleven grabs the door before he can.

"You don't want it closed?" He asks.

"No." She mumbles.

"Oh, so you can speak. Okay, well.. um, how about se just keep the door.." He closes the door until their was a few inches left in the opening, "Is that better?"

"Yes." She mumbles again.

Mike walks back to the living room, where Dustin and Lucas are, as well as Nine on the couch.

"This is mental." Dustin says.

"At least she can talk!" Mike responds.

"She said 'no' and 'yes' Your 3 year old sister says more." Lucas argues.

"She tried to get naked." Dustin adds.

"There's something seriously wrong with her." Lucas declares.

"She just went like.." He pretends like he's taking his shirt off, which knocked his hat off.

"I bet they escaped from Pennhurst." Lucas says.

"From where?" Mike asks.

"The nuthouse in Kerley County." Lucas explains.

"You got a lot of family there?" Dustin teases.

"Bite me." Lucas responds, which draws out a small laugh from Five from their bickering. All the boys stop and looks at her, which makes her go dead silent. She gets up and goes to the bathroom, leaning against the wall, waiting for Eleven. "Seriously though, think about it. That would explain their shaved heads and why they're so crazy."

"Why she went like.." Dustin pretends to take off his shirt again.

"They're escapees is the point. They're probably psychos."

"Like Micheal Myers!"

"Exactly! We should've never brought them here!"

"So you just wanted to leave them out in that storm?!" Mike asks.
