(fictional story about fictional characters)
It was Friday afternoon, and Red Foreman and his wife Kitty were all set to depart for Milwaukee to attend a Saturday evening wedding; and he was giving very explicit instructions to his teenage son Eric.
"No party's, no taking the Vista Cruiser out of town, and most important of all; no being a dumb-ass. Break those rules and when I come home I'll put my foot up your ass. We'll be back Sunday. Is that clear," ordered Red.
"Hey, Red; no problem. You and Mom have a good time," answered Eric, wishing they would hurry up and leave.
"Oh Red, Eric is a responsible boy; you have nothing to worry about," interjected Kitty.
"Yeah right," mumbled Red, "at least his sister will be here to keep an eye on things."
"Right," Kitty answered sarcastically , rolling her eyes. She knew Laurie was just the opposite of responsible; but had somehow pulled the wool over Red's eyes for years, and had him wrapped around her finger.
As the Foremans pulled out of the driveway, Eric was bounding down the stairs to the Foreman basement where several of his friends were already assembled. The Foreman basement was their hangout; their second home. One of his friends; Stephen Hyde; had been sort-of adopted by the Foremans and actually lived in a basement room. Hyde had been living with his mother; but she had split town; and Kitty had persuaded Red to let him live there. Hyde was the true wise-ass of the group; the instigator, who loved nothing better than to "innocently" start an argument between the others and just stand back and enjoy it.
Fez was also there, playing with a yo-yo. He was the foreign-exchange student who didn't seem to have a last name; and no one was ever sure exactly which foreign country he was from. He was a lot of fun, and seemed eager to join in on any of their pranks or adventures.
The other person in the basement was Jackie Burkhardt; a spoiled little rich girl, who was only allowed in the basement because she had latched onto another of the friends; Michael Kelso. Eric found her self-centered, egotistic attitude to be incredibly annoying. He had to grudgingly admit though, that she wasn't all that bad looking. She was very petite; with a nice little body; long black hair ; and a cute face. She was just so annoying and bossy.
"All right people, let's get this party started...the folks just left," he shouted.
"What party," responded Hyde, "you mean another boring weekend in your basement?"
"Exactly," answered Eric, "only this is a boring weekend without Red!"
Just as Eric was getting settled on the beat-up sofa, and reaching over to flip the TV channel; they heard a commotion on the outside stairs leading to the basement...it sounded like an elephant coming down.
"What the hell..." started Hyde, just as the door flew open and Kelso backed into the room.
"Come on, you guys; give me a hand," he yelled as he struggled to drag something into the basement.
He was pulling what looked like a beer keg, as he staggered into the basement. Hyde and Eric jumped up to help him; and they lifted it onto a crate that they had been using to store record albums.
"Oh man, can you believe it. My neighbor had a pool party last night and asked me if I would return this for his keg and tap deposits. I bet there is a third of a keg left in there and it's still cold," he yelled out.
"This is outstanding, man," Hyde stated, "maybe the weekend won't be so boring, Foreman."
Eric ran upstairs to get some cups, and when he returned they started to pump the cups full of beer. As they started to enjoy the brew; Kelso looked around the room and asked Eric, "hey, where's Donna?"
Donna was the final regular member of the group, and Eric's neighbor and girlfriend. Her father had not been pleased when she started dating Eric, so he had enrolled her in a Catholic school in the next town.
"Oh you know; it takes her awhile to get home from school," Eric reminded him, just as the basement door opened and in walked Donna.
She was a stunning teenager with long, luxuriant red hair; huge breasts; and legs that seemed to go on forever. She was still dressed in her school uniform that consisted of a white blouse, knee-length plaid skirt, and knee socks.
Hyde whistled and commented, "looking good Pinciotti."
"Bite me, Hyde," she retorted, smiling; as she scanned the room. "Hey, what's that," she asked as she spied the keg.
"That, my dear," stated Eric, as he admired his gorgeous girlfriend, " is a gift from our friend Kelso."
"Thanks Kelso," she said graciously, as she grabbed Eric's cup and began what would be the beginning of many drinks.
"I know what would make this party even better, " offered Hyde, as he went into his makeshift bedroom; and emerged with a large plastic bag containing his "stash" of marijuana.
