As much as Harley enjoyed living with Lexi, he was definitely looking forward to living with James. Lexi helped them with the move.

"Whoa," Harley said when he saw his ned bedroom. 

It was significantly bigger than the bedroom he had back in the apartment.

So was Peter's bedroom.

James had decorated that bedroom just like Harley liked.

"You like it?" James asked from the door.

Harley wsa looking around the bedroom in amazement when James appeared at the door.

"Yeah," Harley smiled. "Thanks."

James smiled.

"Anytime," he said. 

"This is the coolest thing ever!" Harley added, turning around in his spot.

"Dinner is here," James informed Harley. 

"I'll be done in a sec," Harley said.

James nodded.

Harley dropped his backpack on his bed and took out his camera. He placed his camera on his nightstand and headed downstairs to have dinner with his family.

The following day, Harley began unpacking his suitcase.

As he was finishing up, he heard a voice that made him jump.

He looked towards the door to see his friends.

"Oh, god," he said. "You guys scared me."

"Sorry," Farkle said, guiltily.

"Whoa," Riley said.

She entered his bedroom and looked around in amazement.

"This is the coolest room ever!" Lucas said.

Harley smiled.

"Did you do this all by yourself?" Maya asked.

"No, James did," Harley said.

"James?" Cassie said. "Dang, he knows you really well."

"I know," Harley said. "He's the best!"

"You have a TV too?" Maya said, noticing a TV hanging on the wall.

"Yeah," Harley said.

"Is this your PlayStation?" Gabe noticed on a video game console on Harley's dresser.

Harley nodded.

"Can we play?" Lucas asked.

"Uh, yeah, sure," Harley said.

He turned on the TV for his friends to play on while he finished unpacking his things.

Maya helped him with it.

"You don't have to help me," Harley said.

"I want to," Maya smiled.

"Alright then," Harley shrugged.

Maya handed Harley's last few shirts to hang them.

The last thing that was left was putting away all the books and comics that he has gotten over the years.

Cassie helped them as well. 

"Why don't you put your books on one side and comics on another?" Cassie suggested. "And your figurines on the bottom shelf?"

"Huh," Harley said, "that's a good idea."

"Here, I'll put the comics here," Maya said.

"I'll do the books," Cassie said.

"Then I'll do the figurines," Harley said.

Harley placed his figurines and baseballs on the bottom shelf and arranged them in the way he liked.

When he saw the way Maya and Cassie arranged his books and comics, he felt the need to arrange them.

"You're going to fix it, aren't you?" Maya asked.

"Sorry," Harley frowned. "I can't help it."

Harley reached over to the comics and fixed it and proceeded to fix the the books.

After Gabe and Lucas finished a round, it was Farkle and Riley's turn to play.

Just as Farkle and Riley finished, the group headed out and as expected, Peter had to come with them. Their parents weren't home. They had left to set early that morning.

After a few hours at Topanga's Bakery, Harley and Peter had to head home. Lexi came over to check on them when she was done with work and she had brought dinner with her.

"Are Mom and James on their way home?" Peter asked.

"Yeah, they are," Lexi smiled.

Harley smiled as well.

Five minutes later, just as they finished setting the table, James and Elizabeth got home.

The family had dinner.

For the first time in a while, Harley felt like he was at home. For the first time in nearly five years, Harley felt like he had a normal family.
