"Eric, it is time."

"Why don't you do it?"

Robyn Calvin and her friends sat in Eric Forman's basement discussing tactic. All of the hormone filled teens craved the salty, carbonated, alcohol filled beer that littered Eric's living room. The friends surrounded the scrawny brunette and peer pressured him to which he tried to fight. Donna Pinciotti, Robyn's friend and a beautiful red-head, sent Robyn a look as they crouched next to each other.

Steven Hyde glared a little at Eric's stupidity. "It's your  house," he reminded. Michael Kelso, a dimwitted acquaintance, echoed Hyde to reiterate the point to Eric. Hyde nodded and pointed to the ceiling speaking sternly, "Listen to them up there. The party has reached critical mass. In ten minutes, there will be no more beer opportunities.

"If my dad catches me copping beers, he'll kill me," Eric's voice cracked at the end of the sentence and Robyn rolled her eyes as she fell on the couch next to Kelso. She picked up a magazine from the table in front of her and began reading it while she crossed her legs in annoyance at her friends.

Slapping his hand on Eric's thigh, Hyde nodded his head once. "I'm willing to take that risk."

"Don't worry about it. Just remain calm, keep moving. . ." Kelso advised while he nodded his head and hit Robyn's leg.

"And above all, don't get sucked into my dad's hair," Donna advised coolly. Eric questioned Bob Pinciotti's hair and Donna shook her head and advised him not to look.

Hyde got up from his spot on the other side of Kelso on the couch and slapped his hands on Eric's cheeks, "And, Eric. . . cold. Definitely cold."

Everyone sat back in their seats and Kelso put his arm around Robyn's shoulder as Eric ran up the stairs of the basement to the booming party. Without looking up from her magazine, Robyn spoke, "Kelso, if you don't take your arm off of my body I will cut off your penis and feed it to a duck."

Kelso's arm flew off of Robyn and he scooted as far away from her as he could. Hyde and Donna started laughing as they entertained themselves. Holding a nude calendar, Hyde flipped through the pages, occasionally showing Kelso one.

Bending down behind the couch to look at the picture as well, Donna sighed and winked at Robyn, "We see that every day."

Eric jumped down the stairs holding five beers in his hands. Hyde and Kelso cheered and Robyn held her hand out expectantly. Walking around, Eric handed a beer to Donna and Robyn then Kelso and Hyde.

"Good news," Eric started as he passed out the alcohol. "My dad is thinking of giving me the Vista Cruiser."

Growing excited, Kelso stared at Eric in awe as he played with the shower in the corner. "You're getting a car?"
