Eric Foreman's Kitchen

5th of June 1978

9:46 a.m.

"Rachel will be here soon." Kitty announced to Eric, Hyde and Red, who were happily eating their breakfast, as soon as she got off the phone. "Isn't it exciting?"

"It sure is Mom." Eric replied before eating more of his pancakes.

Hyde raised an eyebrow. "Who's Rachel?"

"Rachel is my little cousin." Eric told him before making his thinking face. "Well she's thirteen now...so she was about five when you last saw her."

"Oh yeah." Hyde said nodding his head as he remembered the little girl. "She was cute."

Red who was reading his morning newspaper closed and glared at Hyde and so did Eric. Hyde shook his head violently at their assumption.

"I meant baby cute." The curly haired boy admitted. "God, what do you take me for?"

"Anyways..." Kitty said changing the awkward conversation. "She's coming to stay with us for a while so I want you guys to act like responsible young adults, ok?"

"Mom," Eric began as he reached out to get his glass of orange juice. "We are responsible young adults." His hand slipped causing him to knock over his glass, making orange juice to spill over his father's morning paper.

"Well done, dumbass." Red commented as he took up his soggy newspaper and frowned. "I didn't even get to finish it."

"Oh, sorry Dad." Eric replied sheepishly.

"That could have been Rachel!" Kitty said, cleaning the mess her son made.

Eric raised an eyebrow and wore the same puzzled look his Dad and foster brother wore. "How?"

"You could have knocked Rachel over and she'd bleed!" Kitty replied raising her voice slightly to get through to her son.

"That does sound like something only you could do, man." Hyde admitted nodding his head before eating some of his pancakes.

"Eric, I don't trust you with my niece." Red said courtly as he discarded his morning newspaper into the trash can.

"Oh come on, look at me." The geek exclaimed as he pointed out how scrawny he is. "How can I knock a person over?"

"He's got a point." Hyde added studying how thin his best friend actually was.

"Yeah." Kitty said picking up Red's breakfast plate and put it in the sink.

Red bit his lip. "Fine."

"Yes! Rachel and I are going to have so much fun!" Eric said excitedly.

"You sound like Jackie..." Hyde told Eric shaking his head.

A beeping of a car horn interrupted Eric before he could reply. Kitty smile widened and she rushed out of the kitchen and into the driveway. Eric, Hyde and Red exchanged looks before following the woman outside.

The first thing they saw when they went outside was Kitty hugging a girl with long sandy brown hair and hazel eyes that complimented her borderline tanned skin. Eric smiled and rushed over to the thirteen year old girl.

"Hey Rachel!" Eric said, bending down a tiny bit to hug his young cousin

"Eric!" The preteen exclaimed, throwing her arms around him.

"Wow, you've gotten so tall." The geek admitted, stepping back a bit to take in Rachel's full appearance. "You're as tall as Jackie." He added before turning his head over towards Hyde. "Hyde, come here."

Hyde, who was leaning against one of the wooden beams nodded his head and walked over to the happy reunion. He looked at Eric and Rachel and saw some resemblance. "Hi, Rachel."

"Hey." She replied casually, giving the older boy a small smile which he returned too.

"Rach, this is Steven." Eric told her, placing a hand on his friend's shoulder.

"It's alright, man." Hyde replied before he looked back at Rachel. "You can call me Hyde if you want."

"Ok." Rachel said. She took in Hyde's appearance. He looked kind of familiar to her but she still couldn't place him. She smiled when she noticed his t-shirt. "The Beatles? Cool, they're awesome."

Hyde smiled in approval while nodding his head. "Yeah, we're going to get on just fine."

"Rachel!" Red called making the teen girl look at the porch, where her uncle was. She smiled before running over to him and gave him a hug. "How's my little girl, huh?"

"I'm good." Rachel said happily, still keeping her smile in place.

Red guided his niece inside while he talked to her. "Now you might have to hang out with the dummies sometimes but don't you worry your little head, I'll keep an eye out for you."

Unsure of what to say in reply, Rachel just gave Red one of her sweet smiles making him pat her back affectionately. The two behind him, who were carrying the teen's suitcases, were unhappy with the statement.

"Hey!" Eric said for the both of them seeing that Hyde didn't want to let them know he cared.

A/N: So what do you think? Did you like it? Should I continue? It wasn't my best work but I have so many ideas for the story thanks to nannygirl! Also the other chapters will probably be longer. Please review and share your thoughts on the story and if you want to see anything happen.
