Max's lips curl in a small smile as she heads for the front door. Dani smiles as she follows after her. They get into Danielle's Jeep which had the top down. She looks over at her sister and Max smiles at her before putting her headphones on.

They reach Hawkins high school and Danielle and Max part ways as Max heads toward the school and Danielle heads over to Angela who was talking to Nancy. She slings an arm around Angela's shoulder.

"Hi guys!" Danielle greets happily. After the whole debacle over the summer, the three of them had formed something of an unbreakable bond, finding it funny that their younger siblings were best friends and now they were as well.

"Hm," Nancy says as she looks at Dani thoughtfully, "Either you had sex, or you got into UCLA."

"It's definitely UCLA," Angela responds, "She has that Bruin glow."

Danielle grins, "It is the Bruin glow. California girl lives once again. I can see it now, burning under the sun's blaze, catching waves. Top-down as the wind blows through my red hair," Danielle says as she swings her hair, making Angela and Nancy stare at her in amusement.

"Anyway," Angela says rolling her eyes, "Please tell me that the two of you are going to the game tonight? My mom says because I'm going to college that I need to spend more time with my siblings because they're going to 'miss me' or something."

"They're not," Danielle says shaking her head.

"Right?" Angela states, "Lucas and Erica are like the most insensitive people ever."

"I'll be there," Nancy says with a smile, "I have to report on the game."

"I will be there as well," Danielle says nodding her head, "For the basketball game."

"The game," Angela says nodding her head as well, "Right."

"Yeah," Nancy states, "The game. Totally."

Danielle smiles, "Glad we're all in agreement."

Steve's car pulls up in the parking lot and the three girls all look on as Robin climbs out of it. Danielle looks over at Angela, "Do you not find it weird that your boyfriend drives another girl to school?"

"Do you not find it weird that your girlfriend rides with someone else to school?" Angela asks.

Danielle's eyes narrow as she nods her head, "Touché."

"Hey!" Steve shouts as Robin gets out of the car, "You're looking good girl!"

"Thanks Steve!" Danielle shouts, holding her thumb up.

"I wasn't talking to you!" Steve shouts.

"Me?" Nancy asks pointing to herself, "Aw thanks, Steve!"

"Not you either!" Steve shouts, "Angela Sinclair! You're beautiful, your boyfriend must be one lucky guy."

"He is!" Angela shouts back.

Steve smiles, "See you tonight babe!"

He pulls out of the parking lot and Danielle snorts as she and Nancy start laughing.

"See you tonight babe," Robin mocks as she joins the three of them and Angela rolls her eyes.

"Watch it Buckley, one word and you are rideless to school."

"Don't listen to her," Danielle says with a smile, "I'll pick you up in my sweet, sweet ride."

Robin smiles at her, "Thanks, babe."

Danielle smirks, "No problem babe."

"I hate you both," Angela says as she flips them both off and heads toward the school.
