Summary
Steve and Joe's cousin, Josh, drops by for a visit, and Steve and Joe use this as an opportunity to introduce him to Karen.

Story
One day, Karen was playing cat's cradle when she heard the phone ringing.

"I'll get it!" she announced.

Karen then got up, went over to the phone, and answered the call.

"Hello, Jones/Burns/Blake residence." she said. "Karen speaking."

"Hello." said a male voice from the other end. "Are Steve and Joe there?"

Karen was confused. She had never heard that voice before. And what did he want with Steve and Joe?

"Uhh...sure." Karen said in a confused tone. "Hold, please."

Karen then set the phone down on the table and went upstairs. Upstairs, Steve, Joe, and Fred were playing Go Fish in the room they shared with Fred.

"Got any kings?" Joe asked Steve.

"Go fish." came Steve's reply.

Just then, their game was interrupted by the sound of someone knocking on the door.

"Come in." said Fred.

The door opened and Karen came in.

"Steve, Joe, phone for you." said Karen.

"Alright, I'll be right there." said Joe.

With that, Joe went downstairs. A few moments later, he came back up, beaming from cheek to cheek.

"So, who was it?" asked Steve.

"It was Josh." said Joe. "He's gonna drop by for a visit."

"Is he now?" asked Steve.

"Yup." said Joe.

"Gee, it'll be great to see Josh again." said Steve.

"You said it, bro." said Joe.

"Yeah." said Fred.

"Um, guys?" Karen asked.

"Yeah, Karen?" Steve replied.

"Who's Josh?" asked Karen. "Do you know him or something?"

"Yes, actually." said Fred. "He's Steve and Joe's cousin."

"Oh, nice." said Karen.

"Yeah, and he's coming by for a visit." said Steve.

"Sounds good." said Karen. "What's he like?"

"Oh, trust us, you're gonna love him." said Joe.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"That's probably him now." said Steve.

"Already?" Karen said. "That was fast."

Steve, Joe, and Fred, followed by Karen went downstairs and Joe opened the door. There, Karen saw Josh. He was a young Fillipino-American male wearing a shirt similar to Steve's, but in blue and without a collar, jeans, and blue sneakers with red laces. Josh then hugged Steve, then Joe.

"Heyo, Josh, good to see ya!" said Fred as he and Josh shook hands.

"You too, Fred." said Josh.

Josh then noticed Karen.

"Who's this?" Josh asked.

"Josh, this is my adopted younger sister, Karen." said Fred.

"It's nice to meet you, Karen." said Josh.

"You too." said Karen.
