Steve who hates bothering people so he doesn't tell any of his friends that he's finally having his appendix removed.
The only problem is that the hospital refuses to go on with the surgery without someone there to accompany Steve.
It's a Wednesday afternoon. Everyone Steve knows is busy.
Dustin is in college in another state. Robin is working and Nancy is on a business trip. Joyce and Hopper are out of town visiting Will and Mike, and Lucas, Jane and Max have yet to come back from their road trip.
Technically, Steve could call Robin and ask if she could come to the hospital but, again, he just doesn't want to disturb his best friend when she's at work.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Harrington," the receptionist says for the fifth time. "But you need someone here with you, or else you can't have your surgery."
"Fine, I'll find someone."
And Steve does find someone.
Ten minutes later, he comes back to the front desk with the guy who usually plays the guitar at the park in front of the hospital.
The guy is very well known among the hospital staff, a lot of nurses go out on their lunch breaks to listen to the guy play as they eat, so is not really a surprise when the receptionist recognizes him right away.
"Eddie? What are you doing here?"
Eddie shrugs, pointing at Steve. "This guy said he's gonna give me fifty bucks if I wait for him while he's in surgery."
"See? I'm not alone anymore," Steve huffs. "Can you take my appendix out now?"
