1978
"Guys! Guess what I just did!" Michael Kelso yelled as he stormed loudly into Eric Forman's basement, his feet pounding against the floor. He threw his hands on his knees to catch his breath, he had rushed down as fast as possible but had tripped over himself on his way down which slowed down the process. Jackie Burkhart, who was seated on her scruffy, stoner of a boyfriend Steven Hyde, glanced up from her new issue of Cosmo with an irritated look on her face. She now found it hard to believe she had ever dated the incredibly dumb, clueless, yet good looking boy. He was the epitome of stupidity. His antics often involved explosives, fireworks, illegal things, and impossible feats.
"What Michael?" she asked. Although she figured it was going to be something she would rather not know about his mishaps where often amusing.
"Yeah Kelso. What did you do this time? Get another girl pregnant?" Eric snickered in the corner. Kelso glared at Eric before he continued on with his announcement.
"No Eric! Do you remember what I said I would do in our last circle? Do you?" Eric racked his brain as hard as he possibly could to remember what exactly had happened in the last circle.
Eric had a large bag of Pop Rocks in his hands as he discussed incredibly stupid things with his three friends Kelso, Hyde, and the foreign boy everybody knew as Fez.
"You know what Donna needs to chill. She keeps getting on my case. Who cares if I don't wear clothes to bed? This is America! And damn it in America men and women have the right to sleep naked!" he ranted. Glancing down at the bag of candy he poured a sizeable amount into his mouth, hoping that the loud popping candies would make him feel better. Hyde decided to put in his two cents.
"Hey man, normally I would say you're a horny freak, which you are, but the government is out to control us man! So wear pants to bed or else there going to send in their crazy spies and like do crazy things when you sleep. It's sick man, just sick. Hey hand me some Pop Rocks," he stuck his hand and Eric poured the blue candies into his hand. Hyde quickly popped them into his mouth and glanced over at Kelso who had begun to speak.
"Eric you need to wear clothes to bed. If you were a chick then I wouldn't say a word, but you're a guy. You know what people have been wearing clothes to bed since like a hundred years ago. Well I think they did…I know! I'll build a time machine and find out! Give me some of those Pop Rocks!" he exclaimed loudly. He then thrust the bag out of Eric's hands. Then Fez spoke for the first time.
"You son of a bitch! Those are mine!" he screamed as he tackled Kelso to the floor. Eric and Hyde both laughed as Kelso was beaten up by the foreigner.
"You made a time machine? Okay Kelso my mom's a nurse and I'm pretty sure she knows some doctors that work in the crazy people's wing of the hospital. Should I go get her?" Eric asked his friend. Kelso stomped his feet in anger.
"Come on man come check it out! It's outside the garage! Fez, Donna, Laurie, Red and Kitty are already out there!" he whined. Hyde let out a low laugh.
"He's got Red out there? I can't wait to see him stick his foot up Kelso's ass when something blows up. Let's go doll," Jackie left his lap and hand in hand they went outside. Eric and Kelso were the only ones left in the basement.
"Well I'm not going to be the dillhole that doesn't see this so I'll go." Eric said as he left the room.
"Yes!" Kelso yelled as he raced up the stairs to reach his invention first.
"What the hell is that? And what is it doing on the car?" Red Forman asked as he pointed to the large, black, circular device that was on the hood of the Vista Cruiser. Kelso threw his hands up in frustration. It was unbelievable how dumb people could be, he thought.
"Yeah man! What the hell is that thing? And why is it on my car! That car is my Batmobile and you know it!" Eric yelled in despair at seeing a large black time machine on the hood of his precious car. He was going to kick Kelso's ass!
"It's my time machine! So get in the car and I'll take you back in time! Isn't it obvious? Get with it! It's 1978, the technology is awesome now!" Red looked at him with a look of utter disbelief on his face. He turned to his wife Kitty.
"This kid is on dope." Even the normally sweet Kitty had to nod in agreement. She knew the boy wasn't the smartest of the bunch but she didn't think he was this…odd. DonnaPinciotti, a redhead who was probably the most logical of the group, tried to make Kelso see his insanity.
"Kelso, not even scientists have been able to build a time machine. No offense but I doubt a dumbass like you could." she informed him. Kelso let out another exasperated sigh.
"Come on just get in the car!" his whiny voice was so irritating Jackie, Laurie, Eric, Donna, and Kitty all got in the car.
"God Kelso shut up. It's not going to work." Hyde told him as he punched him in the shoulder. Kelso rubbed his arm and tried to think of something that would make Hyde come into the car.
"If you get in I'll give you…the two dollars in my pants pocket." Hyde looked at Kelso suspiciously behind his aviators.
"Where's the money?" he asked. Digging around in his pants pocket Kelso pulled out two crumbled bills and tossed them over to Hyde. Hyde looked satisfied as he walked over to the Vista Cruiser. Before he opened the door and sat down he called out to Kelso.
"You know one of these is a twenty right?" Kelso's eyes widened and he sent his hand back into his pants, but not in that sexual way that Fez did.
"Damn Hyde!" he cursed. Hyde chuckled as he got into the car.
Red was the only one outside of the car with a sour look on his face.
"I would bet anything that the thing you put on the hood of that car is going to explode so I will not get in that car. I saw enough things explode back in Korea," he protested with his arms crossed in front of his chest. Michael Kelso had been coming around to his house and blowing things up since the boy was what, 11? Out of everything Michael had ever pulled this was probably the most out there. A time machine, like that would ever work.
"Reginald Albert Forman! Get in this car right now! Make the boy happy. With the things he does he'll end up dead within a few years anyway," Kitty lectured from the back seat. Red's face transformed into a look of despair.
"But Kitty! There's not even room in that car," he complained. She sent him a look that would have made Adolf Hitler surrender. "Okay, okay." he threw his hands up and climbed into the car.
"Yes!" Kelso cried out. He ran over to the machine and began to fiddle with the buttons that were placed on it. He hit a large red one that was centered in the middle of the black machine he had made from his old Atari and oven, and then he jumped into the Cruiser as fast as possible.
"I can't wait to see this," Jackie murmured to Hyde. He nodded and gave her a peck on the lips.
"It's going to be hilarious," he whispered back. For a moment nothing happened. Just as Eric was going to tell Kelso he was leaving an unfamiliar female voice began to come from the machine that was outside of the car.
"Five, four, three, two, one. Date August 11th, 1878 is accepted. You will now go back. Hold on tight."
"Wait, what? I have a date at 5!" Laurie shouted in protest. The car began to spin around as if it was on ice and all of the people inside were flabbergasted.
"Holy crap," Fez uttered in amazement. "That son of a bitch made this work," As the car lurched forward the wind was knocked out of everybody as they were blinded by a bright blue light and slammed against the car seats.
"You have arrived at your destination of Place Point, August 11th 1878. Please enjoy your-you stay stay stay," the machine began normally but began to sputter as it reached the end. The machine Michael Kelso had made had worked, brought them back in time, and broke. This was not going to be good.
