"Alright, everybody ready to go?" Forty-one year old Steven Hyde asked as he slammed the trunk to his car.

The girls were already in the car and have been for the past ten minutes. Callie stuck her front half out the passenger side window and called out to Hyde, "We've been ready for an eternity, we're just waiting on you, slow poke."

Steven grimaced and shook his head as he walked around to the driver's side and swung the door open, "Smart ass," He mumbled as he got into his seat.

Callie smiled proudly as she crossed her arms, looking over at her 'Uncle Hyde' as he buckled his seat belt. She was always trying to outsmart him. Callie looked out her window and began to daydream as Hyde pulled out of the driveway of Donna's house.

Now off to New York City. It was a long drive, plus they had to stop somewhere for the night, so they probably wouldn't get there until tomorrow afternoon sometime. Callie would find this annoying, as she hates long car rides, but she always wanted to go to NYC.

So off Steve drove.

Hours later, right at sunset, Callie started complaining of being bored. She had entertained herself long enough with her Game Boy and listening to music had become a bore after they had heard the same song three times in two hours.

"When are we stopping? When are we eating? What are we eating? It better not be McDonald's, 'cause I'm not in the mood," Callie rambled on irritably.

"Callie, would you shut your pie hole for just a few seconds, please?" Hyde spit out through his grit teeth.

Callie furrowed her brow and sent him a look, "Fine."

And so she was quiet. Jackie sighed in relief and put her chin in her hand and closed her eyes. Maybe she could catch a little shut eye. That proved to be impossible though, as Callie decided to speak again.

"Are we going to eat soon, or…?" Callie questioned, leaning forward and peering up at Hyde.

Steven groaned and shook his head, "I thought I told you to be quiet?"

Callie nodded and pursed her lips, "You said to be quiet for a few seconds, it's been a few seconds, so I ask, when are we eating?"

Donna let her head fall back against the headrest and groaned, "Oh my God… You remind me of Eric so much."

Callie furrowed her brow, barely able to hear her mother's words. She turned around in her seat to look at her mother, "You sure do mention him a lot. Why won't you ever tell me about him?"

Donna closed her eyes and sighed. She shouldn't have said anything, but Hyde was curious.

"Yeah, why don't you ever talk to her about Forman?" Hyde asked. He was actually confused as to why she never got into real conversations that focused on Eric.

"Forman?" Callie raised her eyebrows, "Like Red and Kitty Forman?"

Hyde nodded, "Yeah, Eric's their son."

"Is he the skinny guy in all those photos on the mantel?" Callie questioned, earning a nod from Hyde, "Those are all from the 70's. Are there any recent photos of him?"

Hyde grimaced, keeping his eyes glued to the road, "No… Eric took off back in the early 80's, nobody's seen him since. Haven't even gotten a lousy phone call or a letter."

Callie furrowed her brow, "What? That's a little weird."

Hyde nodded, "Yeah, well… Eric was weird…"

Callie pursed her lips and looked around the car at everyone before smiling and slumping back in her seat, crossing her arms, "Tell me about him."

Donna jerked her head up, "What?"

Callie rolled her eyes, "You heard me. Tell me about him. What was he like? What did he like? Was he nice? Funny? Interesting?"

"He was two out of the three," Hyde remarked, smiling a little bit before he yawned.

Callie frowned. Why didn't anybody want to talk about him? It confused her.

"Come on… Please tell me about him," Callie begged, clasping her hands together.

Donna furrowed her brow and looked at her daughter, "Why do you want to know about Eric so much?"

"Because, you bring him at least every other day," Callie said as if it were obvious, "And you keep a picture of him in your wallet… I just didn't know it was him until now."

Jackie smiled and cast a glance towards Donna, "You keep a picture of Eric in your wallet?"

Donna blushed and averted eye contact as Jackie continued gawking at her, her wide annoying smile still present, "That's kind of weird, isn't it?"

Callie then looked over to Jackie, "How is that weird?"

Jackie looked to Callie and pursed her lips into a smile as she crossed her arms, "Donna never told you?"

"Told me what?" Callie questioned with a confused look.

"I would've figured she'd at least tell you that," Jackie said before leaning forward to tell Callie Donna's secret, "Eric was Donna's first boyfriend."

Callie acted as if she were disgusted as she looked to her mother, "And you kept a picture of him in your wallet? Even while you were married to Dad?"

Donna shook her head as she looked at her daughter again, "Eric was more than my boyfriend. Long before we were a couple we were best friends, and we still were… Until he left."

"Where did he go, you think?" Callie asked, seemingly forgiving Donna already for the wallet thing, "Maybe he went to Chicago?"

Hyde snickered with a crease in his brow, "Forman in Chicago? He's not tough enough for that."

"I've been to Chicago, it's not that bad," Callie said, seeming confused as she stared at her Uncle.

"Chicago was a bit different back in the day, Callie," Hyde explained, "Most big cities were. Except for good 'ol San Francisco, where all the hippies used to go. Where they still go."

Callie beamed, "Well, maybe he went there?"

Jackie shook her head, "Doubt it. Eric wasn't really the flower power type."

"New York?" Callie suggested.

Hyde shook his head, "That place was tougher than Chicago, no way Forman would end up there."

"Well, maybe he moved there recently," Callie shrugged, leaning back in her seat as she beamed and looked around at her family, "Hey, maybe we'll run into him while we're there?"

Hyde scoffed, "Yeah, maybe."

Callie crossed her arms and looked out the window. She was curious now, she had to figure out how to find out more about this Eric guy and soon, too.
