Never thought this would happen. Normally, I get fan fic ideas about anime and video games. Even when I get ideas about other things, I've never wanted to write them. But boredom can cause me to do some weird things, upside push ups are one of them. I've watched most of That 70s Show before and have been watching it on Netflix recently. Boredom caused me to wander into the TV section of this site. Boredom. Wanted to read some fanficion on maybe Hyde and Jackie getting together. Well, that didn't happen. Read one story, and then another, and then another and before I knew, I got hooked on Jackie and Eric as a couple, Marla's Lost stories being a major factor into that mindset. Well, after reading plenty of stories set after the series, I wanted to do in the series. Yes, mess with the canon but oh well! That's what fan fiction is all about right! Anywho, I'll talk more after the story. Here we GO!
Disclaimer: I do not own That 70s Show. If I did, Season 8 would have been better.
Chapter 1: Should Eat More Bran!
Another summer day for Kitty. Ever since Donna and Kelso ran away, she can't help but wonder what's going to happen with son and his friends. Thinking of a way to cheer them up, at least in her mind, she does what she does best. Bake something delicious. When Kitty Foreman bakes something, you can't help but turn that frown upside down, as she would say.
As she takes out a batch of chocolate chip cookies, she hears the phone ring. Quickly taking the cookies out, it would be on her mind if she didn't, she sets the cookies on the stove and answers the phone.
"Hello?" Kitty says as she holds the phone with one ear.
"…."
"Donna, its you! How's California? Have you run into Johnny Carson yet?" Kitty asks away. "No, I heard he won't eat corn."
"…."
"What? Oh Eric? Oh no, I know he wants to you. He hasn't heard from you all summer. I'll get him!" Kitty runs into the other room to find Eric.
She looks around but doesn't seem him in the living room. Forgetting the phone is attached to the wall, she accidentally hits herself.
"Oww! Hold on one moment Donna, I'll see if he's upstairs!"
Kitty puts the phone down on a stool near the base of phone while she runs upstairs. She goes up and knocks on the Eric's door.
"Eric, sweetie are you in here?" Kitty asks as she knocks.
She opens the door to find Eric's room empty, the bed already made. She then turns to the bathroom and knocks on the door.
"Eric are you in there?" She asks.
"Uhh, Mrs. Forman. Eric's not in here."
"Is that you Steven?" Kitty looks at the door.
"Yeah. Could you come back in say, five minutes. I'm kind of busy in here," Hyde responded.
"Oh Steven, Donna's on the phone and she's asking for Eric. Do you know where he is?"
"Umm, Mrs. Forman, I'm on the toilet right now so I'm pretty sure I don't know."
"Are you sure you don't know where he is?"
"Mrs. Forman, I don't know! Seriously, come back in five minutes!"
Kitty scoffs at the door. "Fine!"
As she walks down, she mutters loudly, "Between you and Eric you two should really be eating some more bran. Wake up and spend most of the time in the bathroom. What kind of summer is that?"
Kitty gets back downstairs and picks up the phone. She tells Donna she can't find Eric but gets her phone number so he can call her back.
Meanwhile, Eric is just in the basement. The summer has been weird to say the least. Some of the things he's done he would have never thought could happen. Donna was the last thing on his mind at the moment. The pair of lips kissing his was far more important.
His ears pick up as he hears someone's footsteps coming downstairs. Him and his kissing partner quickly split apart on the couch and try and act normal.
As Kitty is coming downstairs to see if her son was there, she hears a shuffling noise. She reaches the base of the stairs and sees Eric watching TV with Jackie. She had noticed over the summer the two had gotten closer. Wasn't hard to imagine why. Both of them had their hearts broken when Donna and Kelso ran away to California.
"Eric?" Kitty looks toward her son with a questioning voice. "So this is where you are?"
Eric looks up from the couch at his mom. "Oh hey Mom. Were you looking for me for something?"
Kitty looks at Eric, "Oh honey, Donna just called. She wanted to talk to you. I thought by this time of day you would have still be in the bathroom!"
"Mom!"
"Anyway, since I couldn't find you, I took down Donna's number so you can call her later."
"Ok. Yeah sure. I'll see if I can call her," Eric says as he looks uneasily at his companion.
"Eric? Are you ok sweetie? You look like you don't want to talk to her?" Kitty looks at Eric with a bit of concern. Was he still sensitive over Donna trying to get Eric on the rebound?
"Mom, I'm fine. I just don't know what to say right now, I guess," Eric looks up his mom. "I'll see about calling her later, alright?"
"Hmm...Ok then. Well I'm be upstairs if you need me. I just made some chocolate chip cookies if you want some later," Kitty says before she runs back up the stairs.
As soon as they hear Mrs. Forman's footsteps reach upstairs, the pair on the couch look at each other.
"Eric, are you ok? Are you sure you don't want to talk to Donna right now?" Jackie asks, with genuine concern in her voice.
He looks at her. "Yeah. I mean, what is there really say? Besides," Eric begins scooting back closer to Jackie, "I'm more interested in being here with you."
The pair go back to kissing each other. While there is no doubt concern going to through Jackie's mind about their future, she pushes the thought aside as she pushes her tongue in Eric's mouth.
Yes that is my first chapter. Eric and Jackie. Together. How? You'll have to find out! Don't forget to Review! Make me all fuzzy inside to hear from ya'll!
