DAWN AND STEVEN lay on her bed, homework in front of them. "Do you know how I'm supposed to do this?" Dawn asks as she shows Steven the equation she's supposed to be doing.

Steven looks over and nods. He helps her do the homework and then leans back, smiling at Dawn. The two of them finish their homework, then go to the video store to rent a movie.

"Ooh! Let's rent Aristocats!" Dawn says as she points to the video. Steven chuckles.

"Disney? Really?" He asks. Dawn nods and takes the video off the shelf.

"Come on! It's a classic!" Dawn says with raised eyebrows.

"It came out seven years ago," Steven chuckles. "You really wanna watch it?"

Dawn nods. "I love this movie." She smiles as they make their way to the counter. Steven rents the movie for Dawn and the two of them walk back to her mom's house.

They sit down on the floor and watch Aristocats. Eventually, Maya comes into the room and sits down on the couch with them. "Ew, Aristocats?" Maya asks.

"What's wrong with Aristocats?" Dawn asks her little sister.

"It's childish." Maya says as she crosses her arms. Dawn and Steven both chuckle and shake their heads. "What?" Maya asks.

"Nothing," Dawn shrugs. "I just think it's funny that you're calling Aristocats childish when you still sleep with your teddy bear."

"Shut up!" Maya orders.

"Maya! Don't shout at your sister!" Ricky calls from the kitchen.

"She called me childish!" Maya says as she walks out the room.

"No I didn't!" Dawn laughs. Steven chuckles and kisses Dawn's head. The couple finish watching Aristocats and Steven walks home.

Dawn sits up in her bed and sighs as she rolls onto her side, facing the wall. She smiles to herself and slowly falls asleep.

"OK, Michael, I want you to take me to the movies today." Jackie says as Michael looks at the movie times in the newspaper.

"I'm way ahead of you, Jackie. Two o'clock, Smokey and the Bandit." Michael says excitedly.

"No. No, no, no. I told you. I don't want to see that again. I don't like the South." Jackie says.

"Hey, I'm from the South!" Dawn says as she furrows her brows.

"I like you, Dawn." Jackie says. "Everyone loves you, it's hard not to."

"Really?" Dawn asks as a small smile creeps onto her face.

"Do you wanna see The Goodbye Girl?" Donna asks Eric.

"Well, I would, but it has two basic flaws, no Smokey and no Bandit." Eric says before high-fiving Michael.

"Yeah, plus, isn't The Goodbye Girl, like, a girl movie?" Michael asks.
