3rd POV:
Ivy and Steve had settled into their new place nicely. They always seemed to have someone around, it was usually one of the kids as they love having somewhere they can escape to. The two that frequented the place the most was Max and Dustin.
Max liked staying there because she could be away from her mum after everything that happened between her and Billy's dad. She could also be around someone that was grieving the same way she was and that could understand her sadness over Billy's death.
Dustin frequented the house because he loved Steve and Ivy. He saw them as his older siblings but when the group is all together he sees them more as the parents. They usually have movie nights and planned dinners every week with the group but he still comes more than that, wanting to tell them all about his days. Especially since he started High School in the new year. That made Ivy super protective over all the kids.
She told all the kids that if there was anyone that was talking bad about them then they should come to her and she would sort them out. They all knew she was telling the truth and they all knew the kind of damage she could do with her powers but they listened and if there was ever a problem the first place they went was to Steve and Ivy's place.
Steve and Ivy had been working at Family Video with Robin and they both grew to love their jobs. It wasn't really that hard so they were able to spend a lot of their time watching movies and messing about. Robin only worked their part time as she was still in school but the couple worked there full time.
The two of them were still trying to figure out what they wanted to do for their proper jobs. It was harder for Ivy because she had no qualifications, but she was talking to Owens about that, and Steve was worried about applying anywhere again. After he got rejected the first time from a few different colleges that really hit his confidence and he doesn't know what to do now. Ivy said that he would be great in business or police work but he doesn't know which one to choose or if he would like the job. Ivy however had no idea what she wanted to do but she tried to figure it out because as soon as she gets some qualifications with the help of Dr. Owens, then she can really make the next step. For now they need the money to pay their bills and Family Video is a pretty easy and fun job.

February 15th 1986:
It was the weekend and Steve and Ivy had the day off. They were planning to have a date night tonight as they hadn't had one in a while and they wanted to have some time to themselves.
It sounds stupid but even though they spend almost all of their time together they never properly talk and when they do they don't say everything they want to say. Everything is so stressful at the moment and they are finally settling into a routine that makes it less frantic.
Ivy was in her room getting ready for the date when she suddenly gets pulled into a vision, the same ones she gets when Henry talks to her.
In the real world her eyes cloud over with a white sheen and her hand drops the make up brush she was using to put some blush on her cheeks. Steve was none the wiser as he was getting ready in the spare room. They wanted to surprise each other with their outfits.
