As Dylan approached the Lopez-Fitzgerald house, he could here laughing and screaming coming from inside.

"Sounds like Fox and his friend are having a wild party in there. I think I should grace the event with my presence." He smiled to himself, jumping out of the car.

When he reached the front steps and rang the doorbell he could hardly believe his eyes when an amazing-looking woman opened the door.

"May I help you?" Theresa asked the handsome stranger.

"Um...ya...Is there a F—" Dylan began.

"Hey Theresa! Don't think you can get away from me that fast...Dylan?!" Fox rushed to the door laughing, but was completely shocked to see his old- college buddy standing before him.

"Hey Fox!! What's up man?" Dylan asked giving his friend a big hug.

"What are you doing here?" Fox grinned, still in shock.

"Excuse me, would someone please explain to me, what's going on?" Theresa jumped in.

"Oh I'm sorry Theresa. This is Dylan, my best friend from college. Me and Dylan go way back!" Fox guided Dylan to the living room, as the three took a seat on the couch.

"It's nice to meet you Theresa." Dylan said bringing her hand to his mouth, and placing it with a kiss.

"Wow, what a gentleman." Theresa giggled. "Now I know where Fox gets it."

"Well, like Fox said, me and him go way back. We used to have the ladies clinging to us. There was this one time, Fox and I met these two gorgeous ladies, and Fox really liked one of them. So he grabs her by her waist, and he---"

"Uh, Dylan. I don't Theresa wants to hear this story." Fox nervously stopped Dylan from continuing.

"I don't?" Theresa looked at Fox confused.

"Uh, nah. You wouldn't like it, it's kind of boring." The last thing Fox wanted was for Theresa to hear stories of the old Fox. Especially now that he was trying to start over.

"Boring! Are you serious? This story is everything but boring." Dylan tried to continue.

"Dylan! I mean it man. It's not a good idea." Fox once again interrupted, beginning to get a little angry. "She doesn't want to hear it ok?"

"What is wrong with you man?" Dylan couldn't understand why Fox was acting so strange.

"You know what Dylan, it's ok. I have to go put my son to bed anyhow. We had a big day at the park this afternoon, so he's probably really tired." Theresa noticed that Fox was getting agitated, so she didn't let it go any further.

"Park? Son? Fox was actually playing with a kid?" Dylan laughed. "You would have never caught Fox with a kid back in college!"

Fox cleared his throat loudly, and nervously ran a hand through his hair.

"Um...you know what Theresa that sounds like a good idea. Why don't you say goodnight to the little guy for me, and I'll be up in a bit." Fox slipped a hand around Theresa's waist, and gave her a kiss on her cheek.

"Ok Fox." Theresa looked at him with confused eyes, not sure about his weird behaviour. "Good-night Dylan, it was really nice meeting you.' She turned to Dylan, right before heading upstairs.

"Wow, Fox you were right. That Theresa has got a body to die for!" Dylan smirked.

"Alright Dylan, that's enough!" Fox stared at his friend in anger. "You can't just come in here and completely broadcast my past like that!"

"What is the big deal Fox? What's gotten in to you? You wouldn't have behaved like this back home." Dylan shot back.

"Ya well...things have changed Dylan!"
