"This is some great stuff. I am so glad Leo knew exactly what to give us for Christmas." Steven said as the smoke began to clear. We were having one of our last circles of the year. It was New Years Eve 1981.

"I agree." I said. "Too bad Donna's pregnant, or I would be recommending it to her." I looked up at the ceiling and it began to spin around in a circle.

"Jen," Eric said looking over to me. "You are doing head spinning thing. That looks like fun." He proceeded to look up and spin his head around. "Whoa, this is trippy."

"You both look like idiots." Fez said with whipped cream all over him. Kelso who sat next to him had whipped cream all over his beard. They had just had a whipped cream fight.

"Yeah, real idiots." Kelso chimed in.

Steven raised his eyebrow. "You ALL look like idiots."

I steadied my head so I could stuff a creme puff I had taken from upstairs into my mouth. "Yes, but we are dignified idiots. Remember I am about to be a major rock star."

"Speaking of that." My brother reached behind him and pulled out a wrapped square package. He handed it to me. "A shipment of these came into the store yesterday."

I took the present and just stared at it. "I will open it when it stops moving."

Eric reached out and held onto it. "Maybe if I steady it, it will hold still."

"Ok. It's still moving." I said staring at it. My brother put his hand on my head and it held still. "Thank you." I opened the present. Inside was the band's Album. "HOLY CRAP!" I yelled out. "It's out!" I looked at my face on the cover with, Harris, Skip, and Jackson. I turned the picture to the side. "I look like a bad ass." I had the album, we all did. Isaac had given us the album a month ago, but we weren't allowed to share it till it was on shelves.

Kelso looked at it with extreme happiness. "Let's listen to it right now."

I shook my head. "No way man. I'm too dizzy to listen to anything right now. It'd ruin it. Besides, I want the band to hear it when they come by tonight."

"Oh yeah. I forgot your weird friends were stopping by." Kelso said before sticking more whipped creme in his mouth.

"Yeah," I said looking at him. "They are the weird ones."

Ten minutes later I was off my high. I was upstairs in the living room. Victory and Skip had stopped by. They were dating, except I thought their relationship was slightly off. Victory had only let him kiss her about a month after they had started dating. She had never been kissed and she kept saying she wasn't ready.

I have no idea how Skip didn't cheat on her at first. I mean, Skip had been kissed. He had made out. He had even had sex before. Yet, he was somehow ok with going out with a weirdo girl who didn't want to be kissed. For some reason he just really, really liked her. They were kissing now at least.

"So Hyde." Victory walked over to me with a little pixie like expression. "How was your Christmas?"

"Fantastic." I said with a smile. "I got exactly what I wanted."

"Which was?" She asked sipping her soda annoyingly cute.

"Guitar picks." I said with a smile. "What about you?"

"Pointe Shoe resin. It was totally tubular." She said nodding her head.

I began to walk towards the kitchen. "You want a beer?"

" Fer Sure." She smiled following me. "Before you know it, I'll be a real chocoholic."

"I have no idea what that means, but I'll drink to it." I said as we made it into the kitchen. Jackie and Donna were sitting in there with H. J. with green baby food all over her mouth. "Hello ladies." I said as we walked in.

Jackie got up and almost started squealing. "Victory! Oh my gosh, when did you get here?"

"Like just four minutes ago. I was so hoping you would be here, I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to talk about house music at all tonight." Tinkerbelle was jumping up and down. She and Jackie really got along. They were very similar. "I mean it's not like I don't like hanging with my gal pal Hyde, but it's so nice to know there are other mall chicks out there."

I walked over to the table and sat down beside Donna. Donna looked confused. "What did she just say?"

"No clue." I sipped my beer.

"I know right?" Jackie asked flipping her hair. "Like I love hanging out with Donna, but it's so nice to know someone else who appreciates being beautiful. Not as beautiful as me, but still petite and so adorable."

I heard a nock. I turned around to the door, there was Brooke and Betsy outside. I opened it and welcomed them in. "Hey Librarian." I said as Betsy ran passed me and into the living room where her father was.

"Hello Jenifer." She smiled. You could definitely tell she was pregnant now.

Kelso ran in and practically pushed me down to stand near Brooke. "Hello Brooke. You look very good this evening."

"Thanks Michael." She smiled awkwardly. "Don't forget to drop Betsy off on Wednesday at exactly one, she has her IQ test that day. Make sure she gets enough sleep the night before."

"So where are you going tonight?" Donna asked nicely.

"My grandfather's. He is in a nursing home here in town and I don't want him to be alone." She said sweetly.

"That's a shame." Kelso said looking silly. "Old people don't appreciate staying up late."

"Yeah, well night everyone. Happy New Year." She started walking out the door.

Kelso stopped in front of her and slammed the door shut. "But wouldn't you want to stay here and be with Bets and I tonight?"

"Well, my grandfather does forget my name." She said smiling. "I'll stay around."

"Really?" Kelso looked like he had just got hired to rub a model's bottom for money.

"Yeah, I mean Betsy has never had a real New Year with both of us. It could be fun." She said smiling. She and Kelso walked into the other room.

"Did she just eat road pizza?" Tinkerbelle asked.

I shrugged and chugged down some of my beer. "Maybe."

"She probably ate some before she slept with Kelso." Donna said smirking.

"Yeah, I don't get why anyone would sleep with Kelso." Jackie said and we all looked at her like she was crazy.

"You slept with Kelso." I said with my eyebrow raised.

"Am I still?" She asked.

I shook my head. "Excellent point."

Victory practically did a spit take as she looked at Jackie. "You got horizontal with Kelso."

I laughed. "Yeah, most of Point Place has done Kelso."

"I bet most of Chicago too." Said Donna.

"You two haven't done the nasty with him right?" She looked frightened.

"Jena hasn't, but Donna did his brother." Jackie laughed.

"Wow." Tinkerbelle looked forlorn. "Jena how did you go without boinking a Kelso?"

"I don't trust Kelsos." I smirked.

"Jenifer, more of your dumb ass friends are here." Red called in from the living room. Jason, Jackson, and Harris had finally made it there. Now it was really a party. The Ball drop was on and everyone was just happy to be together.

It was nice, last year's new year was fun though.

Flashback Start

I was on Jason's lap making out at Harris' New Year party. His parents had left for a few nights, and he decided to throw a party.

I'm not entirely sure how it happened that I was making out. I'm also not sure how Harris and the band were ok with it. It may have been a mix of stuff and alcohol. It may have been the hot girls they all invited and were making out with.

"Did you realize we have been going out an entire year J?" Jason asked letting go.

"You are right." I kissed him. "It's crazy, this year has gone by so fast." I hadn't even realized it had been a year and what I was missing. I hadn't even barely given a thought to my family. At this point all I could think about was kissing this really great guy.

Flashback end

Yeah, not much happened last year. It was fun was fun though.

It was getting to be about twenty minutes till Midnight. My brother got up and said he had a surprise for the band. I knew what it was as he put the record on. "Introducing, the newest record released from Grooves. The new album by The Floor's, House Play."

We had decided to name the album after Skip's song, mainly for the simple reason it was a great title. On came my opening guitar for House Play, the song. The guys practically screamed. I kissed Jason and he picked me up and twirled me around.

"You mean to tell me that your band is nothing but a bunch of Hippie music?" Red asked as House Play ended.

"Yes and it's so wonderful!" Kitty got up and smiled. She walked over and hugged me, while I was still in Jason's arms. "I am so proud of all of you."

"Thanks Mrs. Foreman." Jason said smiling.

Soon things calmed down. As we enjoyed the evening, we listened to each of the songs and I couldn't help but think that this was what I had always wanted.

Jackie and my brother got up and slow danced as their wedding song came on. I had asked their permission to put it on the album. It was one of the two songs I had written for the album, the other of course being Lucky which was the last song on the album.

H. J. walked over to her daddy and pulled on his pants. She motioned she wanted up. He pulled her up. Jackie kissed her on the forehead. They were such good parents. I always knew my brother would be an amazing father.

That made me think of another New Years Eve. It was when I was eight and I had a broken leg because Casey Kelso fell on it. It wasn't horrible though.

Flashback Start

"Alright, love you Jenifer." My mom said as she kissed my cheek as I lay on our disgusting old couch. My foot was in my cast on a pillow.

"Love you too mom." I said as she started to leave. It was my first night back since my accident. She handed me my teddy bear before she walked out the door.

My brother walked into the room, he started to put on his jacket. "Your back. How was the hospital?"

"It was bad." I said squeezing my bear. "Are you going to the Foreman's?"

"Yep." He nodded putting on his glasses. "What are your plans for the night?"

"Sit here with Teddy, there is nothing else to do. The TV broke." I said taking a deep breathe.

He asked. "The Foreman's TV works."

"I don't have any crutches to get there. Mom says they are a luxy, like waffles and not watching you get hit."

"You mean luxury." He laughed referring to my still growing vocabulary. "I have an idea though." He sat me up and put my coat on me.

He got the old sled and sat me on it. I hung on tight as he pulled me to the Foreman's.

Flashback End.

"Everyone, it's time." Fez said as it was less than a minute till midnight.

We started counting down as Tinkerbelle and I helped Kitty pass out noise makers. It was down to ten seconds as we sat down.

"Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven."

"Wake up Betsy." Kelso and Brooke lightly shook Betsy awake.

"Six. Five. Four."

I sat down on Jason's lap.

"Three. Two. One." Goodbye 1981.

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Everyone yelled. I kissed Jason. The sounds of lips smacking was not something you could ignore. I let go and smiled.

Betsy tiredly blew on a little horn. H. J. just laughed. Reggie just stirred in his playpen in the corner.

I heard Fez whisper to Laurie next to us. "You know I have not done it since last year."

I stopped listening to that conversation right away. I tried listening to the happy noises and my Lucky song playing as Jason kissed me one more time.

Hello 1982

That is probably the most I have written...Took me a while, but I wrote it. Hooray!
