• ° 📀 ° •

DAWN STEVENS sits in her best friend, Eric Forman's basement with her three other friends, Donna, Steve and Michael. "Eric, it is time." Steve informs the boy.

"Why don't you do it?" Eric asks.

"Its your house. Listen to them up there. The party has reached critical mass. In ten minutes, there will be no more beer opportunities." Steve explains making Dawn and Michael nod in agreement.

"If my dad catches me copping beers, he'll kill me." Eric states.

"I'm willing to take that risk." Steve says.

"Don't worry about it. Just remain calm, keep moving -" Michael says.

"And above all, don't get sucked into my dad's hair." Donna tells him.

"What's wrong with your dad's hair?" Eric asks.

"Just don't look at it." Donna says. Steve stands up and holds Eric's face.

"And, Eric, cold. Definitely cold." He orders. Eric nods and walks out of the basement and into the party.

"Is Evelyn down there?" Michael asks Dawn making her nod.

"Mm-hmm, uh huh, and so is my mom." She says making the others eyebrows raise.

"What?" Donna asks.

"Yep. Both families are present at this god damn party." Dawn says.

"What're you gonna do?" Donna asks.

"Well, I mean I'm gonna put them in separate lots and have the funerals two weeks apart and I'm obviously gonna have to give a speech -"

"We mean about tonight." Steve says. Dawn sighs and shrugs.

"Pray?" She suggests. Donna chuckles and Michael turns on the music.

Steve begins to read a dirty magazine while Donna and Dawn look through the records.

"Check it out." Steve says as he shows the magazine to Michael.

"We see that every day." Donna says making the boys look at the two girls as they go back to their seats.

Eric rushes down the stairs and holds up five beers. "He's alive!" Steve bellows making Dawn laugh as Eric walks around to the girls.

"Good news. My dad, is thinking of giving me, the vista cruiser." Eric says.

"You're getting a car?" Michael asks.

"Ooh. Have I told you how incredibly attractive you are, Eric?" Dawn asks as she hands him a beer.

"No." Eric smiles.

"Donna told me he was cute." Michael says making Dawn raise her eyebrows.

"No I didn't." Donna says.
