Eric drove the gang back to the house after school, Ree not trusting herself after what had happened that morning. The gang all settled in, making themselves comfortable in the twins' basement like they did every single day. While Donna, Eric, Fez, Kelso, and Hyde sat around the coffee table playing cards, Ree and Jackie sat on the washer and dryer reading. Jackie read the newspaper while Ree flipped through Point Place High's student manual, scouring for a new extra curricular to possibly replace the school paper.

    "Oh my God, Michael!" Jackie exclaimed, jumping off the dryer and haphazardly tossing her newspaper in Ree's direction. Ree fumbled with it, pages crumpling, before she began smoothing it out and rolling her eyes at the younger girl. "They opened up a disco," she announced.

    "Where at?" Kelso asked.

    "In Kenosha." She let out a soft gasp, "You could wear your David Bowie butt huggers!"

    Kelso grinned and nodded.

    "Michael, that would be super!" Hyde exclaimed sarcastically, sending Kelso a grin as Jackie began dancing beside him.

    Ree bit down on her lip as she tried not to laugh at Hyde's remark, forcing herself to focus back in on the school's manual. Maybe she could do a sport, she thought to herself. Colleges liked diversity in your activities, right?

    Kelso's grin faded. "Laugh if you want, man. My butt looks pretty good in those."

    "Come on, are you guys crazy?" Eric spoke up, shuffling through his cards. "I mean, a disco? No way." He shook his head at the thought.

    "I don't know. It might be kinda fun to go dancing," Donna remarked with a shrug.

    "Or we could go," Eric switched up immediately.

    Ree rolled her eyes at her brother, but with a small smile on her face. She wished she had someone who liked her as much as her twin did Donna. She tried to focus back in on her reading, but Jackie's dancing was becoming more and more elaborate in front of her and harder to ignore.

    Kelso sighed, slapping his cards down on the table, "I got nothing; I fold."

    "Well, man, if you're out go make some popcorn," Hyde demanded, nodding his head towards the basement stairs. Kelso shot finger guns at him before heading upstairs. Jackie continued dancing, shaking her entire body obnoxiously. "And take her with you," Hyde snarked, nodding at the brunette beside him. Jackie danced her way up the stairs, following her boyfriend.

    "What is disco?" Fez asked, furrowing his brows in confusion.

    "Disco is from Hell, okay?" Hyde stated, seriously. "And not the cool part of Hell with all the murderers, but the lame ass part where the really bad accountants live."

    "Oh, come on, Disco isn't that bad," Ree defended from her seat on top of the washer. "It's not my favorite, but there's some good songs."

    "Of course you'd think that," Hyde sneered with a roll of his eyes behind his sunglasses. "Name one good disco song."

    "Well, anything by ABBA, really," Ree shrugged.

    "And my point still stands."

    "What are you doing?" Eric asked, suddenly. Ree glanced back up from the manual to see Donna peeking at the cards Kelso had left on the table.

    "Looking at Kelso's cards," Donna admitted, casually.

    "That's cheating," Eric stated with a shake of his head.
