That 70's Trip (Crossover) Chapter 2: Part 2, a That '70s Show + Austin & Ally Crossover fanfic

Part 2

…

Last time…

Austin walked up to the house & knocked on the door & rang the doorbell.

"Yeah?" asked Eric as he answered the door. Austin just looked confused.

"You look younger."

(Guitar Riff)

Hangin' out
Down the street
The same old thing
We did last week

Not a thing to do
But talk to you

We're all all right
We're all all right

Hello Wisconsin!

"Younger? Look, what do you want?"

"Is Michelle here?"

"Michelle? Who's that?"

"Eric, who is it?" a woman called from behind him.

"Just someone looking for someone named Michelle. Sorry, man. No one named that here. Now, is there anything else I can do for you, or…"

"Uh, yeah. Can I use your phone? I lost mine somewhere."

"Uh, sure, man. Come on in," he moved aside, letting Austin in.

Austin looked around & saw everything was different.

"Wow, man. Very 70's."

"Yeah. I haven't had this place redone. My parents have had it like this since then."

"Eric, you coming back in the kitchen?"

"Yeah, Jackie. Just a sec. Alright, so phone's right here. I'll be in there if you need help," he said, going into the kitchen.

Austin looked at the phone, but realized it was an old one. He then looked towards the kitchen door & saw a calendar. It said 'June, 1989.'

"What!?" he silently yelled. "So did I time travel?" he asked, bewildered. He heard a whirring sound from somewhere. "Doctor?" he asked, but then heard a crash in the kitchen. He ran in to see what was wrong.

"Shit!" the woman yelled.

"You guys all right?"

"Yeah. the mug that had Jackie's coffee in it just fell over and broke," Eric responded.

"It was weird. I felt a gust of wind hit me then it fell over after being on the counter away from the edge," she said, sweeping up the shattered mug pieces on to a dustpan & threw it away before taking a wash cloth & soaked up the coffee.

"So, did you call who you were going to call?" Eric asked.

"I couldn't get a hold of them."

"Too bad. Coffee?"

"No thanks."

Hyde walked in, getting the coffee pot, & poured himself a cup.

"Morning, Forman. Jackie," he said, looking downward.

"Hey, Hyde."

"Morning, Steven."

"Hey, it's you," Austin said.

"Who's this douche?"

"I'm not a douche! God, how many times do I need to tell you that?"

"Times? I've only called you that once."

"Oh. Right," he said.

Then, it hit him. He remembered what happened a few days ago. Those guys were talking about how Forman lost his chance with Jackie, they all looked older, they knew who Michelle was, & Hyde already called him a douche.

'Am I really in the past?' Austin thought to himself.

"Now, do you have somewhere to go? We're kind of busy," Eric said, bringing Austin out of his thoughts.

"Don't be rude, Eric. He might be able to help," Jackie said, throwing the cloth into the sink.

"How?" Austin asked.

"Do you know of a singer we can get to play in the next 12 hours? The one we got for our class reunion had to cancel because he got food poisoning from his last gig."

"Hey, hey. I thought we all agreed I was gonna DJ," Hyde said, but they ignored him.

"I'm a singer. I can fill in. I can also play so many different instruments."

"Really? Do you know Cheap Trick?"

"'Hello, Wisconsin!'"

"Hmm…"

"Bon Jovi?"

"You're livin' on a prayer, man."

"Hmm…"

"AC/DC?" Hyde asked.

"Prepare to be Thunderstruck, man," Austin said & Hyde nodded in approval.

"Plus, I've got my own material, so what do you say?"

"It might be the lack of sleep talking, but all right. You good with 500 bucks? It's all we have from our refund on that other guy."

"Sure."

"Oh, by the way, we didn't catch your name."

"Austin."

"Eric."

"Hyde."

"Jackie. How old are you?"

"18."

"All right."

"Then, you've got the gig. We'll go down to the beach later so we can nail down a tracklist & you can practice with the band."

"All right...Do you have a bathroom?"

"Uh, sure. Upstairs on the right."

"Thanks," Austin said, running upstairs.

"He seems nice," Jackie said.

"He's a douche," Hyde said.

"Stop saying that, Hyde. He's doing the gig. That's the least we need from him."

"You said he was looking for a Michelle, right? Do you think he met Michael?"

"I don't think so. he sounded like he was all there when he asked.

"Tch. Michelle," Hyde snickered.

Austin got upstairs to the bathroom. He then closed himself in & started going.

"This is great. If I get him to hook up with Jackie, he won't be lonely in the future. The future will be better for him," he said, then finished up. He then heard the whirring sound again as he washed his hands.

"Austin!" a faint voice yelled.

"Doc?" he asked into the open air. The sound stopped. He looked around a bit then exited the bathroom. He went back downstairs then entered the kitchen.

"All right. I'm going to take my shower," Jackie said.

"Try not to use up all the hot water this time," Eric responded, a bit whiney.

"Hey, if your dick can't handle cold, get out of the freezer," she retorted.

"What does that even mean!?" he said, then sat down.

"Man, she's kinda hot," Austin said.

"Yeah," the two other guys responded.

"Bet you'd want to jump that in a room alone."

"Yeah. Already did years ago, but yeah," Hyde said.

"Yeah," Eric said.

"Why don't you ask her out?"

"Why would I? She's ditzy, bitchy, klutzy, & a big control freak. Plus, her boyfriend just died…"

"Yeah, a year ago," Hyde added.

"Even so, I don't know if I wanna deal with all that baggage."

"But…"

"But she's also hot, fashionable, considerate, & cleans up after her messes."

"So…"

"I don't know, man. Ever since Donna & I split, I just haven't had that much confidence in myself."

"Forman, for God's sake, that was 7 years ago! Grow a pair!"

"He's right."

"Guys, I just can't."

"Forman, if you don't do this, she's most likely gonna leave to go somewhere else & you'll lose your chance forever," Hyde said.

"Yeah, you can say that again," Austin said under his breath.

"What?" Eric said.

"Hmm? Oh nothing, nothing."

"Better be."

"So, should I?"

"Yes!" they both said.

"All right, I'll try," Eric said.

"Good," Austin said.

Later, at the beach…

"You know," Austin said to Jackie. "You & Eric there seem to have some good chemistry."

"What?"

"You just seem to have something, ya know?"

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Well, truth be told, I have been feeling something for him. He's let me stay at his house for almost a year now ever since Fez died. I help him with paying bills from paying rent. Since he's a teacher & I'm a fashion designer, I'm obviously a big help with that. Yet he won't ever let me pay for anything else when we go out to a movie, or anything. Do you think he likes me?"

"Oh yeah. Not letting you pay for much when you're with him somewhere, I'd say that's a sign. Plus, I've seen the way you two look at each other. Yeah, he likes you."

"All right. You've got me convinced."

"Good. Good."

"Austin, we're all set up if you wanna start practicing."

"All right."

He went up on the stage, turned to Jackie & winked at her. She smiled.

"All right, guys. What should we do first?"

"Your call, man. We can play most anything from the last several decades."

"Hmm…" he said, putting the guitar strap of the guitar they had for him over his shoulder, then did some quick strumming before saying something else. "Maybe… 'Back in the U.S.S.R.' We need a soundcheck anyways, right?" they all nodded in agreement.

With that, they played the song, while Jackie & Eric were standing on the beach near the water's edge.

"So, this party should be good," Eric said.

"Yeah. Austin sounds like a good singer too."

"Yeah. Look at him. He loves performing."

"Yeah. I mean, how lucky are we to have him replace the guy that had to cancel?"

"Maybe it's a little too coincidental, but we are lucky."

"Yeah. So, you looking forward to seeing everyone from 10 years ago?"

"Yeah. It should be good. Kelso & Brooke are bringing their daughter Betsy, right?"

"Yeah. What about Donna? Did you guys have a really bad break-up?"

"Um. Sort of. I told her I couldn't do it any more. She was just becoming a pain to be around. I never knew if she was taking my stuff seriously because she laughs at times where things are supposed to be serious, so I got mad at her. We had a fight, she realized we weren't good together anymore, & then she left. I haven't heard from her in 8 years. I don't even know if she's coming or not."

"Oh. So, You're not expecting to rekindle your relationship?"

"No."

"So, you're not going with anyone?"

"No…Why?"

"Well, I was thinking that maybe we could go together. As friends, at least."

"'At least'? Do you want to be more?"

"Do You?"

"Maybe I do."

"Well, maybe I do too."

"Well, all right then. We're going as dates tonight."

"Fine"

"Fine."

"All right. I'm gonna go home & get ready," Jackie said, then walked off & got to her car & drove off.

"Well all right then," he said as he walked up to the stage as Austin was finishing the song. After he finished the song, Eric called him over.

"All right, guys. Take 5. We'll work out a set list in a bit," he said, then walked over to Eric.

"I have a date with Jackie tonight," Eric said.

"Good for you, man."

"Yeah, but the thing is I haven't been on a date in a while &, more importantly, since it's here, I'm not too sure about much."

"Ah. I see. Really what you wanna do, is just hang out. I mean, you can listen to the music without dancing, but if you want to dance, that's fine. You might wanna make sure other people are, though, to make sure it's not too awkward."

"K."

"Tell ya what, I'll do a song with the guys where I'll invite people to dance & you can dance once everyone else is."

"All right, sounds good."

"All right. I gotta lay down a set list with the guys. You go get ready. See ya later, man."

"Yeah. See ya," Eric says, as he goes to his car & drives away.

"All right, guys. I gotta teach you how to play a song really quick then we can get a set list going."

Austin did just that as it turned to later that evening. The party was well underway as Austin was playing a song with the band. They finished the song & then the time came for the special performance.

"All right, everyone. For this next song, we're gonna have a song for dancing, so if you want to, come up & get ready to dance," he said as several couples walked up.

"Do you wanna dance?" Eric asked Jackie.

"Sure," Jackie responded.

They walked up & got into a place where they could dance. Eric nodded to Austin & he nodded back.

"All right, guys. 1, 2, 3…
