    Summary

    "Hey…" she finally said, "Why did you cut your hair?"

    Willow looked up. There was surprise, yes, but also a kind of deep weariness. 

    "Why do you ask that?" 

    Michelle shrugged, uncomfortable. "I don't know…" she murmured. "It's just… the length suited you. I didn't think…" She stopped, frustrated at not finding the words she wanted. "I don't understand why you would do it."

    It didn't sound like a complaint. It sounded like she was hurt that Willow had done it.
     
    Willow looked away. "There was no point in leaving it like that," she replied. "There was no one to style it anymore. It didn't… matter anymore." 

    Or

    Will cuts her hair in a rampage after the rain fight to try and forget Michelle, doesn't quite work.

    Summary

    “Okay, yeah. I mean, sure. But you get what I’m saying, though, right? Like, this totally changes the game. We got our second El.” Lucas said excitedly.

    “I’m not like a second El. I don’t have powers.” Will was not his sister. El had control of her abilities and had used them to save the party many many times. Successfully. “I’m just… I’m siphoning. I’m stealing Vecna’s. And to do that, I have to be near the hive mind, and Vecna’s not coming back.”

    Will didn’t want to do that again even if Vecna did come back. It was an awful feeling, being forced to watch through the eyes of the demogorgons but this felt worse. When he had connected to the hive mind and killed the demogorgons, he had felt Vecna, in all his insidious glory. For a second, that same darkness had overtaken Will, he was scared of the way he felt when he’d snapped the demogorgons bones.

    Summary

    Will raised an eyebrow at his friend's antics, then dropped his eyes to where he knew Dustin had reached a hand out towards him.

    “This summer, we stick together. You and me, Byers.”

    Will grinned, taking Dustin’s hand and shaking it. “You and me, Henderson.”

    A rewrite of S3:

    The night Dustin gets back from Camp Knowhere, he brings the Party up to the highest point in Hawkins to set up Cerebro. He thought that his friends would be excited to have him back-- even if it wasn't the most entertaining to sit on a hill and talk into a radio with no response, he thought they would at least wait for him before going home. He thought it was going to be the best summer ever.

    Instead, he finds himself and the one friend that didn't leave him, Will Byers, intercepting a weird Russian transmission.

    And, well... if he couldn't have the best summer ever, at least he and Will would have an eventful one.
