Oh my gosh, I was so stuck on what to do with this episode! I didn't want to do a double date because I already did that, plus I wanted both the blonde and brunet that Fez got for blind dates in the episode, so... I hate writer's block so much. I can't wait to get to season 3; I actually have that one planned out. Right now, I'm just wingin' season 2.

Disclaimer: Don't own anything but the slightly changed plotline.


"Hey, check it out," Donna said, looking at her transcript with furrowed brows, "I got an 'F' on my report card."

"An 'F'?" Eric said concernedly, standing up straighter against the car, "What'd you fail?"

Donna glanced at her report card before looking up at Eric with a grin, "English."

"English?" Eric said, squinting his eyes, "Isn't that... what we speak?"

Donna shot him a look before she began digging around in her purse, and Hyde drew Eric's attention to him.

"Hey," Hyde grinned in surprise, "I got a 'B' in Spanish."

He paused, furrowing his brows in genuine confusion, "When did I start taking Spanish?"

Eric snorted before glancing over at Donna at the sound of a lighter clicking, his face taking on an expression that was a mixture of surprise and worry. "Whoa, Donna, that's a cigarette!"

"Even worse, it's a menthol," Hyde muttered, his brows furrowed. Sure, he smoked, non-menthol, but he knew it was a vice and a bad habit, and Donna didn't need that crap, "You're gonna get suspended, little lady."

Donna rolled her eyes, and Eric asked, "When did you start smoking?"

"Well," Donna said sarcastically, "You just saw me light it."

"Ha, ha, ha," Eric mumbled, sharing a look with Hyde, "You know, smoking causes cancer."

"I know, but it makes me look cool, so it's an even trade," Donna said before handing Eric the smoke and digging through her purse, "Hold this?"

Eric grabbed it, holding it away from himself in an attempt to keep the smoke from his face, and Hyde gave him a look through narrowed eyes. "Ah, jeez, Forman, hold it like a man, would ya?"

"Shut up," Eric shouted in irritation before leaning against the Cruiser, holding the cigarette between his fingers, trying to pull off a cool kid pose.

"Donna," He said, trying to get back to the point, "I mean, smoking? Failing? Can I ask what you're doing?"

"Smoking," Donna said flippantly, "Failing."

Just as she said this, the school doors opened, a teacher making his way into the parking lot. The man froze at the sight of Eric before shooting him a glare. "Forman. Smoking on school property?"

"No," Donna said quickly, "That's not his, that's mine."

The teacher turned his attention to her, but Eric quickly diverted it. "No, it's... it's mine," He said, placing the cigarette in his mouth, seemingly holding his breath so he wouldn't breath the smoke in. "Mmm. Menthol."

"Eric," Donna muttered, "Quit it."

"Yeah, okay," The teacher grunted, grabbing Eric's arm, "Let's go, Forman." Eric tossed the cigarette to the ground as the teacher dragged him off, most likely to the principal's office.

Hyde suddenly leaned down, grabbing the cigarette and placing it in his own mouth, taking a puff. "Dios mio," He said, smirking around the smoke, "No es bueno." Donna shot him a look that went ignored as he grabbed his bag, walking off, cigarette still in hand. (Sorry if I spell anything wrong; I don't know Spanish too well)


"Eric Forman's first suspension," Hyde said, an arm thrown over Jackie's shoulders, before he suddenly grinned, speaking in mock excitement, "I'm so proud!"

Jackie snorted, leaning further into him as everyone, apart from Donna, glanced over at Eric in surprise. The were in the Hub, a little towards the back so Hyde and Jackie could share a bench seat.

"No, wait, back up," Kelso said in confusion, "Why'd he get suspended?"

"Because he's stupid," Donna muttered, giving Eric a look.

Kelso stared at her, worry on his face. "They can do that?"

Donna tilted her head back for a brief moment, a bit of amusement gracing her annoyed features before she spoke again, the amusement vanishing. "No," She said, "He told them it was his cigarette, and that's stupid."

"Donna, please," Eric muttered, "Don't fall over yourself thanking me."

"I didn't need your help."

"Yeah, Forman," Hyde said, "I think she wanted to get in trouble; it's Donna little cry for help," he spoke in a fake, high pitched voice, "'Help me! Help me!'," he went back to his regular tone, "We hear you, Donna, and we love you."

Jackie shot him a look, and Donna rolled her eyes as she grabbed her bags and stood. "Get bent, you guys are jerks," She grunted, leaving.

"Wait, why am I a jerk?" Kelso whined, "I don't even know what's goin' on!"

"Man, why'd I take the fall?" Eric said, "Donna doesn't care, and Red's gonna kill me."

"Relax, Forman, Red's not gonna- wait, did you say kill you?" Hyde said before he snickered, "Yeah, you're right."

"This isn't funny, Hyde," Eric said, "On Red's list of screw ups, gettin' suspended from is school is right up there with... backin' over my mom."

"Hey, man, havin' a girl is about sacrifice," Kelso said, "Like Annie; she wants to put some of her girly stuff in my van, and I told her she could have on stuffed animal. In the glove box. See? Sacrifice."

Jackie gave him a stupid look, and Hyde stared at him blankly, annoyance behind the stare. "Kelso, remember how you used to fit your whole fist in your mouth?"

"Yeah," Kelso laughed a little.

"Do it now," Hyde grunted, leaning a little against Jackie and taking a sip from his soda.

"Damn, why's everybody so crabby today?" Kelso exclaimed.

Just as he said that, Fez came waltzing into the Hub, taking Donna's previous seat, a big grin on his face. "So, my host parents set me up on a blind date," He said happily, "And, she's bringing a friend!"

"But..." Kelso mumbled, "Then you'd be on a date with two girls at once, and that's just bad jugglin', man."

"And you know the best part?" Fez ignored him, "They're not even blind!" He burst into snickers, but they slowly quieted down when he noticed the others just staring at him.

"Get it?" He said, glancing around, "Blind?"

Nothing.

"Screw you, that's funny," He pouted.


"Steven, do you know what's wrong with Donna?" Jackie asked.

The two were piled up in his room, doing their own thing. Hyde sitting on his dresser, his feet on his cot, reading a Rolling Stones magazine. Jackie leaned between his leg, reading her Cosmos magazine, though her head was tilted back in an attempt to look up at him.

"She's tryin' to get her parents' attention," He said, "She wants to get them to quit fighting, and she's tryin' to do that by tryin' to get their attention off of each other and onto her."

"That's stupid," Jackie said, turning her attention back to her magazine, "They're probably just gonna end up fighting about how they should discipline her, and then her parents are mad at each other and her."

"Well, she's probably not thinkin' that far ahead," Hyde said, "And, it's not workin' anyway, considering Forman took the blame, and now Eric has to smoke that hold pack of cigarettes. I can hear 'em hackin' from down here, man, and it's not a pretty sound."

Jackie made a face, nodding in agreement.


Fez glanced up at the sound of the Hub bell, catching sight of a blind and brunette entering the Hub, and he grinned, standing up to greet them.

"Hello," He said, greeting the blonde, who smiled at him cheerfully during the handshake, "I am your date, Fez."

She nodded, still smiling, and he ended the handshake before turning to the brunette, shaking her hand as well. "Hello," He said in the same tone, "I am your date, Fez."

She furrowed her brows in confusion, glancing over at her friend, who looked just as confused, and Fez either remained oblivious to it or just ignored it.


"Alright," Hyde said, bursting into his room, making Jackie jump in surprise, "Red's crackin' down on the cigarettes, and I think I'm goin' through withdrawal, man."

"Okay, Steven," Jackie said, sitting up straighter and setting her magazine aside, "I read that if you have something to distract you, withdrawal won't be so bad."

A small pause.

"So, think about something else," Jackie smiled triumphantly, and Hyde shot her a look.

"I don't think it works that way, Jackie," He mumbled, taking a seat next to her. She watched as he placed a hand on his chest, his thumb rubbing up in down as if he was attempting to soothe an aching spot. (I looked up cigarette withdrawal, and, apparently, it makes your chest hurt real bad)

"Okay, why don't we go for a walk?" She suggested, "You like walking; it helps you think."

"Yeah," He sighed, standing, and Jackie stood, following him.


"I mean, these teachers think they deserve our respect, but they don't," The brunette said, and Fez nodded sympathetically, seating between her and the blonde, "I mean, who are they to teach us about history and math?"

"Mm," Fez mumbled, "I too feel a rebellious, sexual tension."

She nodded, giving him a small smile before turning her attention to her drink, and Fez twisted around, facing the blonde. "So," He said, "You are a blonde, yes?"

"Oh, yeah," She said happily, flicking at her hair, "Natural."

"I see," He grinned, and the three suddenly glanced over, furrowing their brows, catching an odd sight through the Hub windows.

Kelso leaned through his van window, driving as slow as possible in an attempt to keep up with Annette, whose arms were crossed, chin held up, expression annoyed.

"Annie, just get in the van."

"No."

"Get. In. The van!"

"No."

"Annie, please get in the van."

"No."

"GET IN THE VAN!"

"No."

"UGH!"

"Isn't that your friend?" The brunette said, "What was his name? Kelso?"

"I have no idea who this Kelso person you speak of is," Fez smiled fakely.


"I don't get why Mr. Forman's freaking out so much about the cigarettes," Jackie said as she and Hyde walked down the sidewalks, "I mean, I get that no parents want their kids smoking, but he's giving that rule to everybody, even Mrs. Forman. I think she's going through withdrawal, too, and it makes her act even crazier than when she's mad at something."

Hyde snorted, throwing an arm over her shoulders and bringing her closer when he noticed her shivering, "Well, in case you haven't noticed, Red likes to do everything in the extreme."

Jackie rolled her eyes a little before Hyde continued speaking. "Something is wrong with the world today. Forman's suspended, Fez has a date with two girls at once, Donna's trying to get herself in trouble, and now I can't get a freakin' cigarette."

"Yeah," Jackie nodded before her brows furrowed, and she and Hyde stopped walking in surprise, their head following the sight before them as it passed by.

"Annie, just, just get in the van..."

"No."

"Annie, please get in the van."

"No."

"GET IN THE VAN, ANNIE!"

"No."

Jackie and Hyde glanced at each other before Hyde shrugged, "Well, at least something in the world is right today."


"So," Fez said, grinning, both arms over each girl's shoulders, "Would you ladies like to continue this date elsewhere?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Fez," The brunette said, "I would love to, but I've got to go home and study."

"Study?" Fez furrowed his brows in confusion, "You do not study; you have a tattoo."

"Oh, Fez," She smiled, "Rebellion is cool and all, but I want to get into a good college so I can fight the system from the inside. It was nice meeting you, though," her tone at the end was genuine as she stood, grabbing her coat, glancing at the blonde, "Mary?"

"Oh, no," Mary smiled, "Go ahead without me."

Fez turned his attention to her as the brunette nodded, walking away. "So, Fez, um," Mary said, "My parents aren't home; wanna come back to my house? I have a hot tub."

Fez grinned excitedly, "That would be super."


"Donna, is it me or," Eric said, leaning against the Cruiser, "Does your dad hating me make me even more sexy?"

Donna laughed a little, "Sure."

"Yeah, I think he senses my bad boy-ness."

"Yeah, Eric, you're a parent's worst nightmare," Donna said sarcastically.

"Yes," Eric dramatically, "Yes, I am."

The glanced over at the sound of the sliding door, watching as it was opened as slowly and as quietly as possible, and Kitty hesitantly backed out of it, keeping her eyes inside the house before she attempted to lift a cigarette to her lips and light it, but jumped in surprise at the sound of Eric's voice.

"Mom, what're you doing?"

"Nothing," She said, holding the lit cigarette between her fingers before she got a stern, yet nervous look, "And you, you, you do as I say, not as I do."

Eric and Donna sent her smirks, and Laurie suddenly came bounding out of the house, sighing in relief at the sight of the cigarette.

"Ah, hey, Mom," She said, taking the cigarette for herself, "Cool, give me a drag."

"Okay, now, see," Kitty said when she caught Eric and Donna's looks, "Laurie is doing as I do, and that is wrong."

Suddenly, Hyde and Jackie came walking up the driveway, stopping at the sight if everyone, and Hyde's attention was immediately diverted by the cigarette.

"Ah, thank God," He sighed, snatching the cigarette from Laurie's fingers and taking a drag himself, and Jackie rolled her eyes at his dramatics.

Kitty glanced over, catching the deepened looks and Eric and Donna's faces. "Well, Eric, do you really wanna see Steven go through withdrawal symptoms? He's already angry and violent enough as it is."

"Yeah, that's true," Eric muttered, and Donna nodded in agreement.

"What's goin' on out here?"

Everyone jumped at the sound of Red's shout, and Hyde quickly tossed the cigarette to the ground, Eric stomping it out just as Red reached them. Red glanced at the cigarette before shooting Eric a look. "Eric, are you smoking again?"

"I think he is, Daddy," Laurie smirked, and Hyde and Jackie rolled their eyes in unison.

"No, he is not," Kitty said.

"I don't smoke!" Eric shouted, frustrated.

"I think, I think this is my fault," Kitty said, "I think he is just imitating me so he can look cool."

"Mr. and Mrs. Forman," Donna said, "Eric got caught holding my cigarette at school. I'm the one who was smoking."

"Oh," Kitty said smugly, her eyes on Red.

"Well, Donna, thank you for your honesty," Red said, and Eric shot him an irritated look.

"What?" He exclaimed, "How come you believe her? I told you I don't smoke!"

"Well, I'm gonna go home now, so, uh, goodnight," Donna said before taking off for home.

"Eric's not in trouble now?" Laurie said feebly before rolling her eyes and stomping off, "Fine!"

"Well," Hyde said, grabbing Jackie's hand and pulling her toward the basement steps, "I see you have some personal issues to work out, so..."


"Well," Jackie smiled as she and Hyde walked down the driveway the very next night, "At least everything's back to normal now, right? You have your cigarettes, Donna's not trying to get in trouble anymore, Eric's back in school, and Fez totally got blown off."

"Mmm," Hyde mumbled around his cigarette before removing it, holding it between his fingers before throwing his other arm over her shoulders, trying to keep the smoke in the other hand away from her.

They suddenly stopped, their brows furrowed, their head following the sight before them.

"Michael, get in the van."

"No."

"Michael, get in the van!"

"No."

"Get in the van, Michael!"

"No."

"Get in the van!"

"No."

"Michael!"

"No."

"Well," Jackie said slowly, her eyes wide in confusion, "I guess not everything's right today..."

Hyde stared for a moment longer before snorting, grabbing her hand and walking in the opposite direction, wanting to get as far away from the strange sight as possible, hearing one final screech behind them.

"MICHAEL, GET IN THE VAN!"


Okay, so Jackie and Annie are a bit alike, but I don't see Annette taking off with Kelso's van like Jackie did, so... yeah.

I am so frustrated with my writer's block! It makes me just want to skip to season 3, but if I did that, I wouldn't be able to give Kelso the character development I wanted, so...

On a lighter note, my physical therapist says in about a month or so, I should be able to get out of this wheelchair and start using crutches, so that's good news. The infection hasn't returned at all, and the cut's healing just fine, too, I'm in a good mood today :)
