   Summary

   "I also came to ask how you liked your surprise." Dustin furrowed his brow.

   "Surprise?" 

   Nancy's grin grew and she nodded back to the gym. Eyes narrowed, Dustin ducked back in, weaving around tables to get back to their booth. He saw Lucas first, grinning like Christmas came early. 

   "Did you know he was coming?" he asked. Dustin frowned.

   "Who?"

   "Henderson!" 

    

   OR

   Dustin didn't have his mom with him for his last middle school science fair, and he couldn't ever remember having a dad. He didn't have an older brother or sister like Jonathan or Nancy, but he did have a Steve.
