Been dazed and confused for so long, it's not true.
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Take it easy, baby, let them say what they will.
Will your tongue wag so much when I send you the bill?
"Dazed and Confused" by Led Zep.


"Oh, man. We're all out of dope!" Leo shakes his head, his tangled hair moving.
"Yeah. This sucks," I shove a handful of chips in my mouth. "What do we do now?"
"Hey. I know. There's this guy who always has dope, & they have food at their house."
Way ahead of my dad, I grab the keys to my white VW Beetle, & we're off.

In some guy's basement, Leo starts talking to a guy with curly dirty blonde hair and thick glasses, which hide his eyes. There are a few other teenagers my age here, & it makes me wonder why my dad, who's ancient, talks to them.
"This is my daughter, Dani," Leo smiles at me, his wrinkles turning upward.
I nod at them, & they start to introduce themselves.
The one with the glasses says,"I'm Hyde," and he takes a sip of his beer.
On the couch, a skinny guy with brown hair and blue eyes smiles,"I'm Eric, & this is my girlfriend, Donna." Donna, the red head, grins at me and says,"Hey. It's nice to meet you."
A short brunette with a dress on gives me a fatal glare,"I'm Jackie, and this-," she motions to the guy beside her in the turtleneck,"-is my boyfriend, Michael Kelso."
"And I," a guy with nice hair and smooth brown skin smiles,"am Fez. I would love to do it with you "
I note that he has a cool accent, but I chuckle,"No thanks." He isn't my type.
"Hey, Leo, man," Hyde grabs his bag of pot out of his pocket. "I didn't know you had a daughter."
"Neither did I," Leo answers honestly. "I'm going to see Kitty."
Once my dad goes upstairs, I take a seat in an empty chair, & Eric looks at me.
"Are you going to stay in town?" He asks me, his arm wrapped around Donna.
Looking at him through hazy vision, I bite my lip,"I don't know. I have to find a place to stay."
"Well, maybe I could see if you could stay here for awhile. I mean, maybe Red wouldn't be such a jerk with you around," he remarks, thinking seriously about it.
Laughing, Hyde looks at Eric,"Red wouldn't stop being a jerk for anything."
"No, thanks," I finish my third bag of cookies. "As much fun as that sounds, I can't intrude like that."
"Dani, it would be great if you were here. I'm going to ask," Eric stands, & Donna follows behind him. She probably wouldn't be cool with it since I'm a girl.

Kelso looks at me - well, my breasts - and questions,"Why can't all girls be like you? You're not so pushy and like - you're not Jackie!"
Blowing smoke from my mouth, I smirk at him,"If you're not happy, why are you with her, man?"
"Well, I love her, & we do it like a lot," he answers as he puts whipped cream on his nose, using his tongue to remove it.
Hyde shakes his head, his hidden eyes meet mine,"Whatever. I can't believe your Leo's daughter, man."
"Yeah," I nod, agreeing. "He's cool about everything, so it's pretty great."
"Just like the news from my parents," Eric gives me a thumbs-up, a smile on his face. "You can stay."
