Hyde woke up with Jackie's warm body pressed up next to him, which was nice considering the temperature of the basement. Jackie yawned and rolled over, making eye contact with Hyde.

" Morning, Pudding Pop," she said, still drowsy. He smiled. Early mornings were the least Zen time for them, mainly because Hyde refused to wear his sunglasses to sleep.

" Hey, Jackie." He paused. " Do I smell bacon?"

" Yeah, I do too! But I smell a bunch of other stuff too." Jackie looked puzzled.

They both went upstairs to the kitchen. Kitty was in there with all her baking stuff out, and a huge amount of food on the table. Bacon, pancakes, Monte Crisco's, mashed potatoes, cookies, devilled eggs, everything you could ask for was there.

" Come in, kids! I made food!" chirped Kitty. She didn't even seem to notice that Jackie was wearing Hyde's clothes, or that Eric and Donna hadn't been around since last night.

" Didn't she do this when Red's mom died?" Jackie whispered to Hyde.

" Yeah, I think it's her way of dealing with stress." he whispered back.

Donna and Eric came down the stairs, took one look at Kitty, realized what was going on, and just decided to go with it. As the food was being served, Kelso, Charlie, and Fez ran into the kitchen, grabbed plates, and devoured the food without a second thought of where it came from.

" Kitty, you just baited our house for dumbasses with all this food!" exclaimed Red, but he grabbed a plate and got some bacon anyways.

" So, should I pick up Grandma from the bus stop?" asked Eric.

" Fine. But have Donna go with you. The last time I left you alone in a car with a grandparent, they died! And you," he pointed to Jackie. " Wear some of your own clothes when Bea comes to visit."

Jackie blushed, and turned her attention to Kelso and Fez's conversation.

"So, Kelso, what are we going to do today?" asked Fez.

" Well, I have to go down to the police academy today." he said using his superior voice.

" Can I come with you?" asked Charlie.

" Sure. You could keep me from blowing stuff up."

The three boys left, but not before they loaded Tupperware containers with food.

" So, what time do we go to pick up your grandma?" asked Donna.

" About noon." stated Eric.

" Noon!" cried Kitty. " That means I have to put the casserole in the oven now!" She ran over to the fridge and got cooking.

Jackie and Hyde went back downstairs, with Eric and Donna heading back upstairs.

Charlie, Fez, and Kelso were sitting on a bench inside the police station. Fez had a bunch of cookies out and was munching on them. Kelso was fiddling with his badge, while Charlie was taking in all the sights and sounds in this new place.

" Wow, I've never been to a police station before." he told the guys.

" You've got to be kidding me. You haven't ever gotten arrested?" said Fez.

" Nope. But I have seen the inside of a police car before, when there was one at our block party a few years ago."

" You need to live a little!" yelled Kelso. " You know, like party and get drunk, not just sit around and get drunk, while listening to Hyde blabber on." His voice rose. " Man, we need to plan you a party!"

" Fine, fine, I'll do something 'exciting'. What's her name?" he pointed to a girl facing the counter up front.

Kelso didn't have to answer him, for as soon as she turned around Fez shouted " Suzy!" and went up to attempt to hug her. She gently pushed him away and looked behind Fez.

At the same time Charlie looked up. Gently brushing Fez aside, she went over to him.

" Hey," said Charlie, clearly nervous. " I'm Charlie."

" Suzy Simpson." she said, with false authority. He blushed.

" H-how do you know Fez and Kelso?" he squeaked, and mentally smacked himself for sounding so odd.

" Well, Michael and I were both training together. And, umm, Fez came with us on a date and shot a bunny." she frowned at the memory.

" No! Fez, how could you?" he asked, feeling awful for a poor, innocent rabbit.

" He made a good meal," offered Fez. It didn't help the situation.

" Come on Kelso, let's go somewhere else. Away from the people that pity a rabbit! In my country if you pitied every creature you would have died from starvation long ago! " they stormed off.

" So, umm, that was awkward." Suzy managed to finally say.

" Yeah," he said, and nervously laughed.

As the two continued their conversation, they opened up to each other a bit more. By the time Charlie had to leave, he felt as if doing something 'adventurous' had its own advantages. As he was heading out the door to go back to the Forman's, he felt a hand grab his own.

" Wait," said Suzy, and pulled a pen out of her pocket. She then flipped Charlie's hand over, and wrote something on his hand. He looked down. It was her phone number. This was the first time any girl had given him her phone number.

As Suzy walked away, she had a smile on her face. For once she had found a nice guy who wasn't a jerk underneath. All she hoped was that Charlie felt the same way, and didn't have a kid or a marriage.

" Hey, Eric, is that her?" asked Donna as she pointed to a lady getting off a bus.

" Nope." said Eric. He turned to see a bus pulling up behind him. " I bet that's her."

As the bus pulled up, Eric felt the need to make the most of this visit. He hadn't seen his grandma in a year, and he wouldn't get to see her for another. When Bea walked down the bus steps and over to the bag storage, Eric grabbed Donna's hand and the two ran over to her.

" Gramma!" exclaimed Eric. He walked up to her, and hugged her.

" Eric, how are you?" she asked, and mildly returned the hug. " I heard you're going to Africa, and I wanted to give you something before you left." she reached into her pocket and pulled out a dream catcher. " My Indian friend made this for you once he heard about Africa. I'll tell you more about him at your mother's house.

" Hi Ms. Sigurdson" said Donna.

" Oh, it's you. I thought Eric was gay," Bea responded.

" No, no, he just ran away from the wedding and Kitty said he was gay to hide her disappointment in her son." Donna responded coldly, but the coldness was directed at Eric.

He didn't seem to take notice of this, and instead of responding picked up Bea's bag. As he carried it to the Vista Cruiser Donna decided to forgive him. She wasn't ready either. But why did he have to pawn the ring? Was he never going to propose again?

The drive home was filled with silence between the couple, but their silence was filled with Bea talking about Arizona. As they pulled up in the driveway, Donna saw Kitty's figure move in the kitchen and head to the screen door.

"Mom!" cried Kitty, and ran over to the car. " I made casserole!"

Bea hopped out of the car, grabbed her bag, and went inside. Donna and Eric followed. Sitting at the table were Jackie and Hyde.

" Hey Forman." said Hyde.

" Donna! Mrs. Forman made me clean all morning!" exclaimed Jackie.

" Big deal." she muttered, clearly annoyed with the younger girl's behavior.

" Well, it is a big deal! She's mad because Red left an hour ago to get more Comet and hasn't came back. And she made us clean up what he was supposed to!" Jackie whined.

" Alright, alright, stop fighting! We can't have a girl fight with my grandma around! Take it to the basement, where we will watch." Eric said. Hyde frogged him on the arm.

" Alright, that's enough fighting for today," said Kitty, who then proceeded to laugh nervously.

Of course, Fez, Kelso, and Charlie decided that that would be a wonderful time to come home, and as the three of them ran through the door, Kelso still in his uniform, all Bea could do was stare as they ran down to the basement.

" I need a drink." Kitty muttered under her breath. " One of you," she pointed to everyone in the kitchen, " better find Red. Now." her tone of voice sent chills down everyone's spine.

" I'll check Price Mart." said Hyde.

" I'm going with you." replied Jackie quickly, and the two ran to the El Camino to check for Red.

" I'll go to the muffler shop," said Donna, and ran over to her house to get her car.

" I'm afraid." squeaked Eric.

" Eric, keep your grandmother company while I finish preparing the casserole." Kitty yelled through the swinging door.

Eric went outside to the chairs and sat down. Bea followed.

" So, honey, why are you going to Africa?" she asked. " Are you running away from Kitty?"

" No!" exclaimed Eric. " It's nothing like that. I just can't afford college and this program will pay for your tuition if you teach in Africa for a year."

" Well, if it's a money problem with getting to college, then maybe I could help you. I have missed the snow."

" Grandma, what are you saying?" he asked, but before she could respond the Toyota pulled up in the driveway, followed by the El Camino.

" He was in the hardware section." Jackie said, and sighed. Red got out of his car, and walked over to Eric.

" Oh, damn, I forgot the Comet." he said when he saw the door in the kitchen swing. As he attempted to turn around, Jackie grabbed Red's arm until Kitty could get through the glass door.

" Red, how nice of you to join us," Kitty said in her I'm-being-nice-we-have-company-but-you'll-pay-later voice.

" Well, Eric, as I was saying, I'm thinking of selling the ostrich farm and moving to Wisconsin. The rest of the money I get from the farm can go to your college tuition. That way you don't have to go to Africa!" said Bea, who clapped her hands in a Kitty like fashion.

" What?"
