Now to avoid further rambling, thanks so much for all the reviews and now that it's the February 26, 2010…Enjoy!
It was Friday morning in the Forman kitchen. Four young men were standing sluggishly around as an older couple went on with the tasks they had to do.
Red Forman was outside in the driveway loading up a few of the suitcases in the back of the orange Toyota. Meanwhile his wife was fussing around the room, making sure to check everything at least three different times.
"Ok now, I've left some meals in the fridge for you kids." Kitty explained to the four as she gestured to the refrigerator, "They're labeled 'Breakfast' 'Lunch' and 'Dinner.' I've also written on there which days you should eat them on."
Eric and Hyde nodded lazily, they knew how everything went. Kelso and Fez, however, kept their eyes on the fridge wondering what delicious meals were waiting for them.
"Now, I only want you eating them at the time written on there. There's only enough for then." Kitty went on, as she noticed the two boys eyeing the icebox. She smiled slightly, "But just incase you do, I've made some extras that are on the bottom shelf."
"Thanks Mrs. Forman!" Both Kelso and Fez excitedly with big smiles on their faces.
Red rolled his eyes when he heard his wife giggle. After putting in the last suitcase, he looked down at his watch and groaned when he saw the time.
"Kitty, hurry it up." he called out to the kitchen, "We're already running behind."
Kitty nodded at her husband before turning back to the four boys, and went back to making sure she had done everything.
"Oh!" she said as she remembered something else she had to tell them, "If you need anything, Paula's number is on the fridge. Along with the number to the hospital, the fire department, the police station and Bob's."
Eric frowned at his mother, "Bob, Mom? He's like in a whole nother state."
"And?" Kitty asked with her own frown, "We'll be in another state too. And you still have to call us every night to check in."
The boys groaned with annoyance as Kitty continued to frown and Red walked into the room, having listened to the conversation.
"No they don't." he said as he walked behind the counter.
The four boys smiled and cheered in excitement as Kitty scowled at her husband.
"Red…"
"Kitty, I don't want them calling us." Red sternly told her as he poured some coffee into a thermos, "That's a long distance call."
"Red, we'll be staying with Paula…"
"Exactly." he interrupted, "If they call us, we'll be the one who gets charged. We call them from your sister's and then it's her problem."
Hyde smirked and nodded in agreement as Kitty shook her head at both of the men. Hyde was the only one who caught Kitty's glare and quickly dropped his smirk.
"Ok, fine." Kitty said, lifting her hands in the air, "Don't call….Unless it's an emergency. Or you need something. Or you just miss me. Right, Red?"
"Right, sweetheart." Red smiled but the minute his wife's back was turned he narrowed his eyes at the nodding dumbasses, "You make a long distance call on that phone and I'll give you a long distance foot in the ass."
The nodding stopped.
"Come on, Kitty." Red called as he walked out to the driveway.
"Ok." Kitty nodded, "Just let me kiss my boys goodbye."
Red groaned with annoyance. She had already kissed them goodbye three times.
"Kitty," Red began, in almost a pleading tone, "we'll only be gone two days."
"That's two days without seeing their cute little faces." Kitty said sounding close to tears, causing her husband to roll his eyes again.
"Ok, ok." she said clearing her throat, "Your father's right, we better get going."
"Michael, Fez," Kitty began as she looked up at the two boys, "I want the two of you on your best behavior."
Fez smiled, "We'll try, Miss. Kitty."
"But no promises." Kelso added.
Kitty smiled and giggled a Kitty laugh as the two boys bent down to her level, so they could receive their goodbye kisses. After Kitty placed a quick, loving kiss on each of the boys' cheeks, she looked over at her son.
"Eric, honey, don't forget to study for that test on Monday."
Eric rolled his eyes, he wasn't in high school anymore, he was a college man now. He didn't need his mom reminding him to study for test…although truth be told he did kinda forget about it until now.
"Ok, Mom."
Kitty smiled before tippy toeing and kissing Eric's cheek. She then walked over to her surrogate son.
"Steven," she began, "I don't want you working too hard at the record store."
Hyde smirked, "I can promise you that, Mrs. Forman."
Hyde leaned down to meet Kitty, where she kissed his cheek and he did to same to her. Kitty smiled and then waved to her boys before walking out to the driveway and into the orange Toyota where Red was waiting already.
"Red, don't you have anything to tell the boys before we go."
"No." he was quick to answer.
Kitty frowned at her husband, "Red…"
Red sighed and grumbled, "Fine."
He opened the driver's door and climbed out of the car before stomping off to the kitchen. There Eric, Hyde, Kelso, and Fez were still standing in their places from before. They knew they hadn't gotten their full 'goodbye.'
"Alright dumbasses lets get something straight." Red began, already using his firm intimidating voice, "I'm about to make a six hour drive with my menopausal wife to see her scatterbrained sister. We'll be stay with her for two damn days. Now that is anything but a vacation, but it'll have to do for now."
"So I do not want to hear from any of you for any reason." he went on as the boys watched him with nervous expressions, some more than others. "The only exception would be if the house was on fire. And if this house is on fire, you do not want to call me."
With that said, Red turned back around and marched out to the driveway.
The four young men stood in their places, no sure of what to do. Looking a bit frightened as well. The room was quiet until the Toyota was out of the driveway.
"Hey guys?" Kelso asked turning to his friends, "Does that mean we have to return the fireworks?"
Eric shook his head while keeping his eyes on the glass door, as if expecting Red to walk back in, "Just don't set them off in the house."
"Might as well return them then, Eric!" Kelso exclaimed, clearly annoyed.
"You girls can finish your argument later, we've got other stuff to take care of." Hyde interrupted getting their attention, "After all when the cats are away the mice will bake."
Hyde smirked a mischievous grin and it didn't take long for Eric and Kelso to catch on. They joined Hyde in smirking and laughing. However Fez wasn't completely caught up, he did look excited though.
"Oo fun!" he said happily, "What are we going to bake?"
Not five minutes later the group found themselves in their regular seats in the smoke filled basement.
Pan to Fez.
"Ah, so we are baking ourselves." he nodded with a smile, "A wonderfully tasty treat."
Pan to Hyde.
Hyde smirked and nodded but then suddenly his smirk faded and his expression became almost bored like.
Pan to Eric
"Man this is…weird." Eric said with his own bored look on his face, "It's almost…boring."
Pan to Kelso.
"Yeah, I'll say." he agreed, "This circle's almost as boring as the musical plays Fez puts on in the living room."
Pan to Fez.
"Hey!" he exclaimed angrily, but after taking a moment to think about it, he realized his friend was actually right. "Yeah ok."
Pan to Hyde.
"No man. Circles aren't supposed to be boring." Hyde said as he shook his head, "Maybe we're not sitting in a circle…maybe it's a square."
Pan to Eric.
"Hyde, we're sitting in the same seats we always sit in." he informed, "Let's face it, this is the worst circle ever."
Pan to Kelso.
"Man, I bet it's cause the Formans aren't here."
Pan to Eric.
He nodded, "That's true. It does feel weird sitting here and knowing I won't get a foot up my ass."
Pan to Hyde.
"It's like I always say." he began with a smirk, "Don't do the crime if there's zero chance of you having to do the time. It's just not worth it."
Pan to Eric.
"Absolutely true," he nodded.
Pan to Kelso.
He frowned slightly, "So what are we gonna do now?!"
Pan to Fez.
"Oh I know!" he practically shouted, "There's a Three's Company marathon on TV."
Pan to Kelso.
"I'm in!" he exclaimed jumping up from his seat.
Pan to Eric
"Yeah, ok." He nodded, "But hey can we go watch it upstairs? This smoke is hurting my eyes."
Pan to Hyde.
"You're such a wimp, Forman." Hyde snorted before coughing several times because of—though, he'd never admit it—the smoke.
