We were all hanging out in the basement listening to the guitar solo of the same song for what felt like the twelfth time at Jackie's request. It finally ended, but Jackie ruined it again.
"I just want to hear the guitar solo one more time." She said going to the record player to replay the same section again and we all groaned in annoyance.
"Not again. Use the headphones." Hyde complained and Jackie pulled out the headphones making an annoyed face at Hyde before plugging them in and jamming out to the guitar solo by herself. "Good. Now, wrap the cord around your neck." Hyde said when she couldn't hear him and I chuckled as I flipped through the magazine that I've read a hundred times before.
"Would you guys respect me if I worked in the town dump?" Eric asked everyone and I thought about it.
"The town dump? No. Now, the state dump..." Donna said sarcastically. "Why are you looking for a job?" Donna asked confused.
"Everything costs money. Gas, clothes... fun." Eric listed everything that costed money.
"Dates. Dates cost money." Kelso pointed out trying to balance a frisbee on his finger.
"No, Kelso, that is prostitution." Fez said innocently.
"Dating is prostitution, man. Only you don't always get what you pay for." Hyde pointed out.
"Said the man who's never had a girlfriend." Donna sassed his disrespect for women.
"What, you guys don't remember Esther, the biker chick?" Hyde asked about his past fling.
"Whatever happened to her?" Eric asked wondering.
"She's dating my uncle." Hyde revealed with a shit-eating grin.
"That's one way to keep it in the family." I muttered not entirely invested in the conversation. Donna laughed at my joke before getting up from the couch.
"I'm going home for dinner. By the way, Mom and Dad are going to the Playboy Club... at Lake Geneva this weekend. Do you guys want souvenirs?" She asked everyone.
"Ash trays." Hyde answered excitedly.
"A woman." Fez added and I rolled my eyes at his naivety.
"Your parents are going to be out of town?" Jackie asked suddenly interested in what Donna had to say. "Really?" She asked.
"Yeah. I mean, I'll be babysitting my sister Tina all weekend. Just me. Alone. Watching TV. I might order a pizza." Donna said trying to send Eric hints, but he wasn't paying attention and I rolled my eyes at his stupidity.
"I got an idea! We'll have a party at Donna's. A toga party!" Kelso yelled excited at his stupid idea.
"Michael! Maybe Donna doesn't want to throw a party." Jackie said trying to send Kelso hints.
"Yeah. Maybe she wants to be alone." I said trying to get Eric's attention.
"Yeah, just me, alone. If someone happens to stop by, that'd be pretty cool." Donna said still sending hints, but Eric still wasn't picking up on them.
"So we're on. I'll bring the beer!" Kelso said excitedly and I sighed at his inability to read the situation.
"Donna, I have never been to an American party. May I come?" Fez asked innocently.
"Yeah, I don't care. So, Eric, are you gonna be there?" Donna asked wanting to know if he was picking up on the hints.
"What? Yeah. Sounds fun." Eric said half paying attention still looking for jobs and I gave up on him in that second.
