Dressed in flare black leggings, a red crop top and black boots, Clem sat at the table as she fixed the white headband she was wearing

"Goodmorning" Eric smiled coming into the kitchen

"Morning" Red replied looking the newspaper, Kitty rushing over as Eric tried to open the fridge

"No. Ill get it" she said squeezing her arm in the fridge, grabbing the milk glass and passing it to him

Clem watched as her mom slammed the cabinet close as Eric tried to open it, she passed him a bowl, "Ill get it" she said carefully grabbing the box of cereal

"Did i just see about seven bags of potato chips in here?" Eric questioned following her the counter

"They were on sale" Kitty said passing him a spoon

"Please, don't throw us a party" he whined following her to the table

"Im not throwing a party" Kitty said sitting next to Re

"Dont give them one" Red spoke up flipping through the newspaper

"Im not"

"They're too old for a surprise party"

"Im agreeing with you"

"Then stop yelling"

"Im not yelling"

"Mom, dad, we know money is tight, so we dont want a big birthday" i spoke up looking between them

"Sweetheart, I'll decide when money is tight. Now, what kind of gift do you two want? Dont worry about the cost. As long as it's reasonable"

"Ok. I would like a cassette player for the car"

"Nail polish" we said at the same time

"A cassette. Not an eight-track. And Clem, do you really need more nail polish? No eight-track, ok?" Eric added as i waved him off

"You know, i dont know why they don't just put record players in cars" Kitty chuckled

"The point is, I dont want an eight-track tape player"

"Then you wont get one" Red said not looking at him

"Oh, but, honey, he wants one"

"No, i want a tape player, just not an eight-track"

"You'll get a Delco. A genuine GM part for your genuine Gm car. And Clem, you can get all the nail polish you want" Red smiled at his daughter

"It doesnt have to be a Delco. It's just for music" Eric said eating his cereal

"See, now there's your first mistake. Parts have to be compatible, Eric. You're not burning cheap gas in that car, are you?"

"No, sir" Eric shook his head, "Well, um, we're going out" Clem spoke up as they both stood up

"Good. Um.. I want you two to run to the store for me. Get a large can of frosting and 15 small bags of M&M's. Plain, not peanuts" Kitty smiled passing Clem some money, her smile dropped as the twins stared at her

"They're for your sister" Kitty lied as the two looked at each other and left





Clementine sat on the hood of the Vista-cruiser, Jackie stood between her legs as Donna leaned on the car next to them, the three girls were watching Fez, Hyde, Eric and Kelso play basketball

"So?" Jackie spoke up as Donna watched the boys

"What?" she questioned not looking at her

"What are you gonna get Eric for his birthday?"

"I dont know. Nothing seems right. I want to give him something special" Donna said, Clementine and Jackie looked at eachother before looking at Donna

"He kissed you!" Jackie said as Donna shushed her, "Get in the car. In the car now so we can talk!" she added as the three girls made their way into the car

"Ok, what happened?" Clem asked sitting between the two girls

"Clem, Jackie, im not gonna talk to you about this" Donna said as Jackie raised a brow

"Then who are you gonna talk to?" she asked as the three girls looked over seeing the boys making fart noises

"Ok" Donna said letting out a breath, "We get home from the Rundgren Concert and im sitting on the hood of the car, and i kissed him"

"French or American?"

"I cant belive im talking to you guys about this, he's your brother Clem!"

"And he only has three girl friends, his sister, his sister's girlfriend and you. It was bound to happen" Clem shrugged

"I cant believe im talking to you about this" Donna sighed as they watched Hyde and Kelso carry Fez by his pants, Eric following

"Ok, so... Look, i've lived next door to Eric my entire life and we talk about everything together. We love the same music, we love the Packers. Then i kissed him and everything changed. Now i dont know if he's my boyfriend or my best friend. And if he's my boyfriend i'd lost my best friend. And if i screw up, i lose my bets friend and my boyfriend. No wi have to get him this gift and i dont know.."

"Donna, Donna!" Jackie yelled cutting her off, "I've solved it. Get him a scented candle"

"A scented candle?" Clem and Donna asked confused

"It's practical and romantic, like Clem loves headbands, i get her headbands"

"What does that have to do with Eric?" Donna asked confused

"I dont know, but Clem liked headbands, so" Jackie smiled leaning over and kissing her girlfriend





Hyde, Kelso and Fez walked into the basement only to see Laurie in a sweater and underwear

"Hello, Laurie" Kelso said puffing his chest

"Hello, Kelso. Hyde"

"Who is the goddess?"

"The goddess is the twin's sister" Kelso said walking over to her

"She's not a goddess. She's more the earth mother whore type, which works for me" Hyde said staring at her

"Laurie" Eric spoke up walking down the stairs

"Eric"

"Shouldnt you put some clothes on?" Eric asked walking over to Kelso

"Why?" Laurie questioned folding some clothes

"Arent you a little cold?

"No, in fact, im hot"

"Oh, then why dont you go upstairs?" Eric shouted the last part

"I am waiting for my jeans to come out of the dryer. And i want you to stay off my case. It'll only take me a minute"

"I dont think Kelso's gonna last that long"

"Too bad. It's not like im completely naked under this. Im wearing underwear. See?" she said lifting the front of her sweater to show her underwear

Eric looked away in disgust, Fez made a noise as Kelso was staring at her

"If we were at the beach, you wouldnt even notice me"

"If we were at the beach, Kelso would be in the water right now" Hyde said as Laurie looked to her brother

"So, i understand you have the wagon now. I want to borrow it tomorrow night, i need it"

"Ok, but i need a favor" Eric said moving Kelso out of the way

"For you? I dont think so"

"Then do it for Clem, tell mom we're too old for surprise parties"

"But you're the baby, and mama loves her baby"

"If you do it, you can borrow the Vista Cruiser"

"All night"

"All night?" he questioned as she nodded, "Fine" he sighed

"Then, it's a deal, baby" she said pinching his cheeks before leaving
