I didn't see Dustin until a day later. Yesterday, when Dustin returned home, Lucas, Will, Mike, Eleven and Max were surprising him at home so I assumed they'd spend the day with him.

I stayed over Steve's house and he drove us to the mall in the morning.

"Aw, man, I can't wait to see Henderson." Steve said as he drove.

"You're already sitting next to one." I gave him a look.

Steve was silent for a moment before correcting himself. "Little Henderson."

We arrived at the mall and got breakfast from the food court. Steve paid, like the gentleman he was, before we walked to Scoops.

Robin arrived just in time and unlocked the store. "Dingus." She rolled her eyes before smiling at me. "Goddess."

"Birdy." I gave her a smile.

"Glad I got a fun nickname." Steve mumbled, walking into the back.

Robin started calling me Goddess because my name was the same as the Greek Goddess, Athena. I, in return, called her Birdy because she has the same name as a bird.

After they worked for a couple hours, Steve took his break and I sat with him in the back.

"Hi." A familiar voice echoed from the front.

A smile came over my face as I stood.

"Hi." Robin replied.

Steve glanced up as I stood, probably wondering where I was going.

"I'm Dustin." I heard my brother greet Robin.

"I'm Robin." She replied, not aware that he was my brother.

"Pleasure to meet you. Uh, are-are they here?" Dustin asked.

"Are who here?" Robin questioned.

Before I could even walk to the door, Steve shoved me out of the way so he could get there first.

"Henderson." Steve smiled and Dustin pointed at my boyfriend with a laugh.

I finally made it to the door and watched silently. Robin looked between them.

"Henderson! He's back! He's back!" Steve jumped, rounding the counter and walking over to Dustin.

I slowly made my way over to Robin to stand beside her. She looked at me with wide eyes, most likely thinking about how much of an idiot Steve was.

"I'm back! You got the job!" Dustin pointed at the Scoops sign, not even acknowledging me.

"I got the job!" Steve cheered, pretending to play a trumpet.

They did the crazy handshake they created before laughing.

"How many children are you friends with?" Robin spoke up.

Steve looked over at us and sighed while motioning at us with his hands...almost saying: 'look who you left me with'.

As the silence followed, I spoke up. "Yeah, Dustin, great to see you, too. I'm your sister, do you even remember me?"

"Athena!" Dustin rounded the corner to hug me.

I hugged him back. "How was camp?"

"It was so cool! I have so much to tell you!" He smiled.

"Robin, this is my little brother, Dustin." I introduced them.

"Ah, Little Henderson." Robin nodded, finally understanding that this was who Steve has been yapping about all month.
