It was a sunny day, schools out, and it’s summer break. Popular place right now is the Starcourt mall. Theres Steve and Robin working at scoops ahoy, Dustin just got back from summer camp, and all is well.. for now. There’s no way of telling when the mindflayer, or the demogorgon strikes. Well, maybe when will’s senses spike. After all, he did have experience with them after being kidnapped by it and staying in the upside down for a while. But right now it’s not about that. Just enjoy summer while you have it, In Hawkins Indiana!

in the grocery store in the mall, Lucas was at the freezer section, buying a Coca Cola. No, not the old one. He’s buying the brand new one. . . .

Location: Palace Arcade.

It's a local arcade in Hawkins, where the citizens often hang out and play video games. The same boy from the grocery stores here, playing an arcade game, trying to beat the top score labeled as: “MADMAX”. It proves to be hard to beat the top score though… he had the soda from before, opened and probably almost finished.
