Eric Forman's House

Eric Forman, Steven Hyde, Michael Kelso, Donna Pinciotti, Jackie Burkhart. Five teenagers, most of them are 14, Jackie is 13, and they have just finished middle school, looking for a way to celebrate, Hyde has bought a bag of a mysterious green substance that many strange people on the streets call "The Stuff". They have been told that it will make for a great celebration, but to keep it out of sight. So they decide to go to the safest place they can think of, Eric Forman's basement.

"Why hello there" Kitty said, answering the door. "You must be Eric's Friends, it's so nice to see he has so many"

"No it's not" Red said. "It's bad enough we have two dumbass teenagers here, do we really need more?"

"Two?" Donna asked "Eric, you didn't tell us you had a sibling"

"Yeah" Kelso said. "He has a sister, and she is HOT"

"What did you say about my daughter?" Red asked.

"I said she's HOT, she is smokin' hot" Kelso said, to which Hyde facepalmed.

"You idiot" Hyde told him. "You don't talk that way to a father"

"You stay away from my daughter" Red told him. "Or I will kick your dumbass so hard, your dumbass children will be born crying"

"Dad" Eric told him. "All baby's are born crying"

"You shut your smart mouth" Red said. "And make sure your stupid friend stays away from Laurie"

"Yes sir" Eric told him. "I'll stay on Kelso Watch".

The group headed downstairs, and the basement was a dirty wreck.

"Wow, Forman" Hyde said. "Your basement is a dirty wreck...I think I'm gonna like it here"

"I don't like it" Jackie said. "It smells like poor people in here"

"So do you after dating Charlie Richardson" Hyde told her.

"BURRRNNNN!" Kelso yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Burn?" Eric said.

"Yeah I'm going to start saying that when one of us get's humiliated and emotionally crushed by an insult" Kelso proudly said.

"I think I can get used that" Eric said. "Congratulations, Kelso. YOU have invented something"

"I like it too" Donna said.

"Yep" Hyde said. "Congratulations, Jackie. You are the recipient of the 1st burn, copyright by Michael Kelso, which will be used frequently without his permission", he emptied the bag onto the table.

"That was a good burn" Kelso said, as everyone stared at the substance, a balled up assortment of some sort of green plant.

"What is it?" Eric asked.

"Not sure" Hyde said. "The guy who sold it to me was completely out of it"

"Maybe we shouldn't mess with it, then" Eric said. "I'm not sure I wan't to be out of it like that guy"

"He said it would be a celebration, Forman" Hyde said. "Are you too chicken to try it"

"First Beer, now this?" Jackie said. "This is bad for my image"

"Everything's bad for your image" Eric told her. "BURN!"

"Ok fine" Eric said. "I'll use it too, but what do we do with it?"

Kelso sniffed it. "I have no idea"

The gang tried all sort of things, taking it apart, licking it, smelling it, pouring water on it, drying it off with a towel, nothing.

"Great Job, Hyde" Donna told him. "Whatever you got isn't working, this batch is faulty"

"Way to go, Dumbass" Eric told him.

"BURN!" Kelso yelled.

Everyone looked at Kelso.

"What" Kelso said. "That was a good burn"

"Say that again?" Hyde said.

"Burn?" Kelso asked.

"Maybe that's what we should do" Hyde said. "We should BURN it"

"But none of us have a lighter" Eric said.

"None" Donna said. "My dad quit smoking seven months ago"

"I have one" Jackie said. "My dad uses it to light his pipe"

"You stole something?" Hyde said. "Good for you, Jackie. Maybe we will keep you in our group"

"Are we gonna light it or what?" Kelso asked. "I can't wait all day. My brother's picking me up at 7"

"Here goes nothing" Hyde said, taking Mr. Burkhart's lighter.

None of them was prepared for what happened next.

I would have wrote longer, but I got a blister on one of my fingers from trying to take a bedframe downstairs and getting it crushed. I will update again as soon as possible.

Until then, enjoy the story and stay tuned for more.
