"Your dad really is a dick, dingus," Robin said as she passes him with a box in her hand. Steve told his dad that he would be working at the video store while he got his associate's degree at the community college. His dad kicks him out of the house as his next tough love lesson. He said if Steve wanted to act like a bum he could live like one.

"I tell you he's a dick all the time." He scoffs, following her into the Henderson household.

"I know, but I always thought you were exaggerating like a typical rich spoiled brat." She drops his box down, causing a loud crash.

"Careful, my sports trophies are in there." He put his box down to rip open the other. Lyn and her mom came down the hall when they heard the loud noise.

"Oh, are those your trophies, Steve? We'll have to make room in the cabinet." Claudia was amazed at all the trophies that he had. He opens his mouth to tell her that it wasn't necessary, but it was too late she took the trophy from his hands. She opens the glass cabinet that was filled with Dustin's science fair ribbons. She rearranges things so that Steve would have his own shelf. "Come over with the rest, Steve." She waves him over.

He picked up the box and brought it over to her. She took the trophies out and put them in the cabinet. He watches in shock as she did so. His parents never cared much about sports, they were more into academics. They never praised his sports achievements, not even when he won the championship game.

Dustin came into the house from walking Zoey. As soon as he let her off the leash, she ran right to Steve. "Hello baby, Daddy is going to be living with you now." He picks her up. She wiggles in his arms wanting to get closer so she could lick his face.

"He's been calling himself that more lately." Robin groans.

"Yeah, he's getting more comfortable with it." Lyn nods. It was a little embarrassing when he said it loudly in public. People look at them like they were doing something obscene when they were only holding hands.

"Did you leave me room in the closet?" Steve put Zoey down to pick up a box and carry it into what was now their room.

"Yes, I gave up a lot of clothes for you. If that's not love, I don't know what is." Lyn follows him with Zoey at her heels.

"You didn't even wear any of those clothes anymore," Dustin yells after them.

"Shut up, Dustin." She screams down the hall before going into her room. Zoey jumps on the bed and cuddles into her pillow as she watches her humans. Steve opened up the box and began putting his clothes away. "So I got you a welcoming gift." She opens up her vanity.

"Yeah, what is it?" He stopped what he was doing to turn to her.

"Here you go." She pulls out Farrah Fawcett's hair spray from behind her back.

"I know you're making fun, but I'm going to use this." He grabs it from her and gave himself a few unnecessary sprays.

"Alright, hotness takes your spray and a change of clothes and get out of here." She points at the door.

"Fine," He grabs boxers, jeans, and a t-shirt. He walks out of the room to take a shower.

"Tell Robin to come in here." She calls out to him.

" She calls out to him
