"So
you guys kissed?" Megan asked. "Now what?" She and her
best friend sat in her bedroom. Beth was too busy flipping away at a
spin magazine to pay any mind to Megan and she was getting bored.
"I
dunno," Beth answered.
"What
do you mean you don't know? You shouldn't just go around kissing
people,"
"Well
what's supposed to happen?"
"Do
you like Andy?" Megan asked.
"I
guess..." Beth said looking down at the magazine.
"Well
do you want to date him?"
"What's
with the second degree? All I did was kiss him. Why do I have to
define what I did. I just did it okay?"
"You
know Andy likes you,"
Same
time in the Forman basement.(Kind of like the split screen but not totally)
"I
like Beth," Andy announced to Jake.
"Well
I didn't see that one coming…" Jake replied sarcastically.
Andy
turned and faced him "She kissed me,"
Jake
made a face. "Yeah okay…"
"No
seriously. We were sitting right here and I was trying to tell her I
liked her and she leaned in and kissed me,"
"No
way…"
"Yeah
and when I asked her about it she said she was doing it to shut me
up,"
"I
was really only doing it to shut him up," Beth told Megan.
"Well
that was stupid. Next time you want Andy to shut up say 'Andy shut
up!'" Megan sighed.
"Why
do you care so much?" Beth asked.
"Cause
now all I'm gonna hear is 'Megan, Beth kissed me,' 'Megan, does Beth
like me?' 'Megan, what does Beth say about me?'" She said in a
whiney voice trying to imitate Andy.
"Megan,
shut up!" Beth yelled.
"Yeah
see just like that but next time replace Megan with Andy and you will
be good to go," Megan replied. "I can't believe you would
kiss him… that's just so sick,"
"I
can't believe she kissed you," Jake said shaking his head. "If
anyone from our group it would be me cause I'm so much more better
looking then you,"
"Then
how come you don't have a girlfriend?" Andy asked.
"Oh
and you do?" Jake shot back.
"You
never know what's going to happen with us,"
"Like
she'd ever go out with you,"
"Well
she is really bitchy sometimes, its not like she has much options,"
Andy replied.
"Please,
she could go up to anyone at school and say be my boyfriend or I'll
kick you in the nads and they would do it! She is hot and guys like
the bitchiness… its like a game," Jake answered.
"it's
like its meant to be our parent's have been friends for so long…"
"Its
like your cousins," Jake said making a face.
"I
mean its like we are cousins," Beth said. "I don't know if
I could ever date Andy,"
"You
guy's aren't cousins though. Just because your parents are friends
doesn't mean it will be weird," Megan told her.
"Would
it be weird for you to date Clark?" Beth asked.
"Oh
ew… why would you ever suggest that?" Megan asked.
"Same
thing for me,"
"Maybe
you should tell him how you feel," Megan suggested.
"Maybe
I should tell her how I feel," Andy answered.
"You
already told her that you liked her," Jake said.
"Yeah
but I want to kiss her again man. It was awesome,"
"Probably
not for her,"
"Shut
up!"
"Andy!"
Donna called from upstairs. "I need you to come up here now,"
Forman kitchen
Jaime
had only been in Wisconsin a day and he was sure he was going to hate
it. He heard from his mother that most of the places around town
close at nine. She started getting sentimental and telling him
stories about her childhood. That's the point in the ride he tuned
her out. They arrived at their new apartment and Jackie directed the
movers were to put there stuff. They hadn't brought much which he
knew would be a big mistake. He knew his mom and he knew how she
liked to spend money. Sooner or later she would want to go shopping
for their new apartment. He had tried to start unpacking the boxes
but she didn't want to. He wasn't sure if it was because it would
then be admitting to a failed marriage or if it was just because she
wanted to go see her old friends. He ended up getting dragged along
with her and he knew he was going to be bored.
He immediately got a knot in his stomach when the car stopped outside of a white house. He followed his mother to the sliding side doors, he was kind of put off when he saw her just walk in without knocking.
"Donna!" Jackie called as she walked in the kitchen. The woman he assumed that was Donna was standing at the stove cooking something.
"Oh my gosh Jackie!" Donna said and the two women ran to give each other a hug.
"Wow this place looks great!" Jackie said when the pulled apart. "I'm glad you got rid of the old 70's wall paper,"
"yeah the house really did need a face lift. Eric was hesitant at first but when I got Hyde to do most of it he seemed to like the idea," Donna laughed.
"Jaime, don't be rude," Jackie said turning to look at him for the first time since they got here. He walked over to his mother and her friend.
"Jaime, this is Donna," Jackie introduced them.
"Hi," he said politely.
"He has gotten so big, last time I saw him was his first birthday," Donna said to Jackie.
"Yeah he grew up fast," Jackie answered.
"Let me call Andy up here," Donna replied and walked to the door of the basement and called for her son.
A few seconds later a boy emerged and walked into the kitchen.
"Yeah mom?" he said to Donna.
"This is Jackie and Jaime," Donna introduced them. "Do you think you could entertain Jaime while Jackie and I catch up?"
"yeah sure." He replied and then turned his attention towards Jaime. "Come with me,"
Forman Basement
Andy lead Jaime down to the Forman's basement. Andy sat down on the couch with Clark and Jaime sat down in Hyde's old chair.
"That's Clark," Andy said pointing to his friend.
They sat silently for a while.
"so this is weird…" Andy said trying to break the silence.
"yeah," Jaime answered.
"You want to play mortal kombat?" Andy asked.
"Be careful, he can beat me with his eyes closed," Clark warned him.
"What do you guys do around here for fun?" Jaime asked.
"hang out, go to the hub, get in trouble," Andy answered.
Jaime looked around the basement. This was a place his mom had been yammering about on their way here. He looked around it surprised his mom would ever step foot down here. It was so dirty and had so much old junk down here. The way she talked about it she made it seem cool, to him it seemed, well kind of lame.
The door opened and two girls walked in followed by another guy. The two girls were laughing.
"So Jake just walked into your sliding glass doors again," The brunette laughed.
"Yeah your mom said next time this happens she is gonna have to paint something on the door," the one with multi color hair said.
"Hey, sometimes its hard to tell. Glass is see through!" Jake exclaimed "Gosh!" and sat down in the lawn chair. The brunette sat down on the couch with Andy and Clark. The other girl seemed to not notice Jaime was here and walked further into the basement and then turned to him.
"Andy who's sitting in my chair?" She asked.
"Your chair? I didn't see your name on it," Jaime said talking back to the girl.
He then heard the group gasp.
"What?" Jaime said looking at Andy.
"Dude that really is her seat. It was her fathers before we were even born. It's like been in thief family for ages. No one dares to sit in it because they are afraid they will get hurt,"
"I'm not afraid of a girl," Jaime said crossing his arms.
"Oh yeah?" The girl questioned and clenched her hands. "Fine!" And then she did something he didn't expect. She sat on his lap.
"Get off!"
"No! this is my chair and if you aren't gonna move I'm gonna sit on your lap," She said trying to shift her weight to make him more uncomfortable. She then wrapped her legs around the legs of the chair so he couldn't stand up and push her off.
"Fine!"
"Oh let me introduce you two so its not to uncomfortable for you," Andy said mockingly. "Jaime this is Beth, Beth, Jaime,"
Beth looked over her shoulder at him and scowled. "Nice to meet you,"
"The pleasures all mine," he said sarcastically.
"I'm sure it is," Beth said and crossed her arms.
"Is she always like this?" Jaime asked looking around Beth.
"Yeah pretty much," Andy answered.
"Aren't you a peach?" Jaime said and then Beth elbowed him in the gut.
"Well this is fun," Andy said.
"What are you talking about? You could cut the tension in here with a knife!" Megan said.
"Thank you captain obvious," Jaime remarked.
"Captain obvious, that's a new one. I like it," Clark smiled.
Eric and Hyde walked into the basement looking for a wrench. Eric was always careless with his tools.
"You kids having fun?" Eric asked.
The entire group looked uncomfortable.
"Loads," Andy remarked.
Hyde looked and saw his daughter sitting on some guys lap he had never seen before.
"Hey creep get your hands off my daughter," He said to the boy.
"I don't really enjoy her much sitting on my lap either, but she won't get off," He replied.
Hyde looked at Beth.
"He took my chair Dad, he got it coming to him," she said simply dug back.
"Beth, I know you are trying to make him uncomfortable by putting all your weight on him but that isn't going bother him. Guys like it when girls sit on their lap. Especially when they are wearing skirts," Eric told her.
Beth shot up and walked over to Jake.
"Get up!" Beth told him
"There
aren't anymore seats," He whined.
"I don't care,"
Beth said and Jake jumped out of his seat and sat on the floor in
front of Megan and Clark.
"Why did you let her do that to you man?" Jaime asked him. "You got to stand up for yourself. What's a girl gonna do to you,"
The kids looked at Jaime shocked and both Eric and Hyde started laughing at him.
Hyde walked over to Jaime and patted him on the shoulder. "Just remember man, you can't hit girls back,"
And with that Hyde and Eric exited the basement.
"Beth hits like a boy," Clark told Jaime.
Beth smiled.
Forman Kitchen
Eric and Hyde entered the kitchen where Donna and Jackie were sitting at the table drinking coffee.
"Donna have you seen the wrench?" Eric asked. "We couldn't find it anywhere?"
"Yeah its upstairs in the bathroom, I'll go get it," Donna said.
Hyde went into the fridge to get a beer.
"So Jackie you moved back to Point Place?" Eric asked.
"Yeah I was gonna buy Donna's old house, cause my mom was the realtor and everything but some jackass out bid me," Jackie told him.
Hyde turned around and lifted up his empty hand. "I'd be the jackass,"
"Oh, well… you kind of are one," Jackie said and smiled at him.
"Whatever." Hyde answered.
"So where are you living now?" Eric asked.
"In the same apartment building Fez and I used to have," Jackie told him.
"Yeah I'm moving out of there into Donna's old place," Hyde spoke up. "That place is turning into kind of a dump,"
"What?" Jackie asked.
"Yeah well Fenton's not the landlord anymore," Hyde told her.
"Well that's why," Jackie sighed.
Donna walked in with the wrench. "Here's your tool, you tool," She said.
"What did I do?" Eric asked.
"Nothing yet, but I'm sure you will do something later," Donna said.
Eric shrugged and took the wrench "If that saves me from being yelled at later,"
Jackie laughed. "Wow some people never learn,"
Hyde Kitchen
Eric and Hyde were standing inside Hyde's new house working on the sink in the kitchen.
"Did you see how Beth and Jackie's son were sititng on your chair?" Eric asked.
"Yeah they both seemed to be miserable," Hyde said messing with the handle. Eric just seemed to be standing there. "kind of reminded me of Jackie and you when you guys were younger,"
"Whatever Forman, you read too much into things,"
"And the way they fight, well that's how you and Jackie were when you first met,"
"Can it if you don't want this wrench up your ass," Hyde said shaking in front of Eric.
"Aww, now you sound just like my dad. This trip down memory lane is fun. And see that spot where the kitchen table goes… Well Donna and I totally did it there and in the…"
Hyde punched Eric.
"Now I know where Beth gets it from," Eric said rubbing his arm.
Outside of the hub.
"Eh… I hate Jaime," Beth said to Megan.
"Oh I don't know, he doesn't seem too bad," Megan said as the walked to the car.
"That's because he bought everyone dinner but me," Beth replied.
"Well you didn't have to sit on him,"
"He
was in my chair,"
"He's new, he didn't know,"
Beth rolled her eyes.
"I think he is kind of cute," Megan told her.
"Oh god no, please. Please date anyone but him." Beth pleaded.
"You never know what's going to happen,"
The guys came walking out of the hub.
"Dude that was so funny how you told that guy off," Andy said to Jaime.
"Seems like everyone likes him," Beth said to Megan.
"Yeah so maybe you should be nice to him,"
"No chance in hell," Beth told her. "I'm not nice to anyone,"
In unison "We know,"
Beth rolled her eyes. "Shot gun!" She and Jaime said at the same time.
The gang pilled into the Vista Cruiser. Andy got into the driver seat and the other three got into the back. Beth opened the front passenger door and held it open for Jaime.
"You get in," She told him.
"No, the hump is for girls," Jaime replied.
"I always sit shot gun,"
"Yeah well you'll still be sititng up front. Just in the middle,"
"No, you took my seat once today, you sit in the middle."
"guys
don't sit in the middle,"
"Do I look like I care?"
"Can the two of you just get in the car?" Andy asked.
"Shut up!" Jaime and Beth yelled at him.
"Be a gentlemen and let me sit by the door,"
"Be like a lady and take the hump,"
"Fine, but if I sit on the hump I get to choose the music," Beth told him.
"Eh!" The group from the back complained.
"No its Andy's car, he gets to pick,"
The group groaned again knowing that Andy would let Beth have her way.
"No radio and Beth sit in the middle," Andy called from inside the car.
"You heard the man," Jaime said extending his arm out to motion to Beth to slide in. Beth made a face and crawled in and Jaime followed her into the car.
They had been driving for about ten minutes in dead silence.
"Oh this is silly, Andy can I please put some music on?" Beth asked nicely.
"Uh… yeah sure go ahead," He replied.
Beth searched the radio until she found Tilly and the Wall on the college station.
"What is this crap? You call this music?" Jaime asked.
"Yeah and what do you listen to?"
"Something Corporate,"
"Oh… come on. They are posers and not even real like emo music."
"Yeah and you call this tap dancing music?"
"Well at least its indie and never been done before unlike every song something corporate has put out,"
Andy turned left and Beth fell into Jaime.
"Oops sorry," Beth said shoving harder up against him then necessary.
"Can you please stop fighting?" Megan asked.
"Yeah it's annoying the driver!" Andy replied.
"Ugh, how can you be friends with her?" Jaime asked everyone in the car.
"Like you are something special," Beth rolled her eyes.
"Yeah well at least…"
"Enough!" Andy said pulling up to the side of the road. "Both of you get out,"
"What?" Beth and Jaime asked.
"Yeah you guys are driving us all crazy," Clark spoke up.
"Are you serious?" Beth asked.
"Yes now get out!" Andy said reaching across both of them and opening the door.
Beth had never seen Andy so angry so she turned and waited for Jaime to get out of the car. Then Clark got out of the backseat and walked in front of them to the front.
"Enjoy the walk!" He said before shutting the door.
The two teens watched as the car pull away. Beth couldn't believe her friends had done that to her! She was so going to kick Andy's ass and they weren't going to get together for sure now.
She looked at Jaime. "this is all your fault!"
"My fault you're the one that couldn't have just been quite for another five minutes,"
"We were fine before you showed up here," she told him.
"You're friends don't seem to think that,"
"How do you know? You only met them for a day," Beth said rolling her eyes. She began to walk,
"Wait where do you think your going?" she heard Jaime call to her.
"Home!" Beth yelled over her shoulder.
"Yeah well I just moved here,"
"So?" she continued to walk.
"Come on!" Jaime said as he ran up besides her.
"Fine I'll help you get back to the Forman's but after that stay the hell away from me," Beth told him.
"My pleasure,"
A/N: I know we haven't had much from any of the other characters besides Eric, Donna, Hyde and Jackie, that's going to change in up coming chapters. I hope you enjoy!
