I had woken up later than usual and the whole gang was over at our house. I went and took a shower before I'd let anyone see me in my pajamas and blonde hair in a messed up bun. The warm water felt refreshing to my skin, and made me wake up a bit more.

I got out with a towel in my hair and one wrapped around my body trying to pick out an outfit. I put on underwear and a bra then find some jeans to put on. As I was trying to find a shirt I heard footsteps coming to my room, so I put on this tank top Laurie gave me.

My door flies open and Hyde says "Rose you gotta check this out. Kelso showed us it. Go to your door." So I went to my door and did what he told me to do.

"Okay push harder, you have 10 seconds left." "Hyde why am I pushing my hands against my door frame?" "Oh you're going to like it." He smirked at me as I rolled my eyes with a little chuckle. "Okay times up." I took my arms off the door and my arms began lifting up in the air on its own.

I could sense Hyde looking at my boobs because the tank top was very scandalous. I put on a jacket on and he whispered "Rose, you should wear that more often." With a little wink. I kicked him in the leg and he winced as we walked downstairs, trying to get to the basement until we had been stopped Kitty.

"Kids the President is coming. He's coming here to Point Place. The 36th-8th-40th President of the United States." She said trying to clean our house. "Really? He is?" I asked as she rambled to make some food. "Yes, he is. And your little friend Jackie knew and didn't tell me." I looked at her shocked and walked with Hyde to the basement as she kept cleaning and making food as if he was coming to our house.

"You know what we should do?" Kelso asked the group. "That door thing again." I chimed in as everyone but Donna and Jackie ran to the door frames in the basement.

We were at our school assembly as our principal began talking. "Now concerning the canned goods drive, motor oil is not a food." I started to boo and everyone joined in, which earned my a high five from Hyde and Eric.

"I'm sorry, it's not. And all your booing isn't gonna make it one. Now as you all know, President Ford will be visiting our fair city. And I know there are some of you ne'er-do-wells out there that might be planning some sort of, "social statement-type protest.""

"I can't believe this. Who cares if Ford is coming?" Hyde said annoyed. I then told him optimistically "It's better then when the Oscar Mayer Weeniemobile drove through." which made him smirk. Donna said

"They didn't even stop. They just slowed down and threw a bunch of hot dog whistles at us." sounding annoyed as well. "Two girls in a phallic RV, driving around handing out things you blow, what a great country." Hyde then stated as I began to laugh, my face turning red.

Our principal continued "So let me tell you another thing, Mr. or Mrs. Punk. Protesting accomplishes nothing." Then, a light above Hyde's head turned on. "Oh sure, you might see a chance to prove your manhood or show you're cool." with a light turning on above Eric's head. "But this is our President. Our President, darn it! So no shenanigans, you hear me?" with a light turning on above Kelso's head. "And if that's your kind of attitude you might as well just go home right now." with the exit sign turning on above Fez's head as he left the assembly. Our group just stared out the door.

We were in the basement. Donna was reading a magazine on the couch with Eric beside her, Fez was on the arm rest of the couch, Kelso on a bicycle behind the couch, and I was in Hyde's chair as he paced the basement saying "Look, we gotta do something that says we will not pay homage to a corrupt electoral system." Fez added "I know. A bloody coup." as I looked at him in confusion. "That's good, but we're looking for something great. Something that would make our founding fathers proud man, you know?" Hyde told Fez. I then sarcastically said "Why don't you guys just streak?" with an eye roll as Hyde looked at me and just said "Bingo!"

"Wait Hyde that was just a-" as I got interrupted by Kelso saying "I've always wanted to do that, just run buck naked through a sea of people. Be free and shake it around. All right, who's in?" very enthusiastic. Fez looked a bit nervous and asked "Will people be chasing around with torches and pointy sticks?" "No." Kelso added, "Then I am in." "Great! Eric?" Kelso asked "Okay, streaking. Don't get me wrong I'm completely pro-nudity, but I think my dad might kill me and I'm anti-being killed." which gave me a sigh of relief until Hyde added "If there wasn't some huge downside to doing something stupid, it wouldn't be worth doing, you know?"

"Good point." Donna said sarcastically. Hyde then got enthusiastic and continued "I could write some really great slogan like 'I hate the fuzz' on my ass." Fez then looked really confused "If you hate the fun on your ass why don't you just shave it off?" and we all just kinda looked at him.

"Guys, I was just joking." I then said to interrupt the awkward silence. "Oh come on Rose," Hyde started "you know you'd love to see me naked." with a little smirk on his face. Eric gave him a disgusted look and Donna just looked at me in shock. "Yeah, Hyde you're right. I'd love to see you naked so I can get a good burn out of it later." I said walking up the basement stairs. I could hear the distant sound of Kelso saying "burn!" as the rest of the group laughed and Hyde scoffed "Not funny, Aubrey" He knows he enjoyed hearing that burn though.

We were all in our driveway, and all the guys were in trench coats talking about the plan. "Okay, when the President starts his speech here," Hyde said pointing to a map "I'll blow my Oscar Mayer whistle, and we go." as the rest of them nodded "Did you write 'I hate the fuzz' on your butt?" Eric asked. "Yeah. Rose, here's your lipstick back." he said giving me back a tube of lipstick. "Keep it. And that was my favorite shade." I said disgusted. He looked at the lipstick and raised an eyebrow before putting it back in his coat. "You got the masks?" Eric asked Hyde. "Yeah, I got three Snoopys and one Nixon. Hyde, Kelso, and Fez all put their pointer finger on their nose and say "Not it." Eric looked at them all shocked "Fez, how did you know how to do that?" "My country invented 'Not it'" I then began walking to the event.
✱ ✱ ✱
Right when I got there, I saw Jackie flirting with an older guy than us. She then told me to talk to the other one which was pretty cool until Kelso came up to the guy Jackie was talking to.

"Hey are you hitting on my girlfriend?" as he then started to try and fight the guy. The other guys then stopped him before he tried to take off his coat. "You are so luck I'm naked pal." The guy I was taking to then went over to help his friend and Hyde gave me a little glare. Jackie whispered to me "Oooo, he's jealous." I hit her in the arm. "He's not." I told her sternly and went to sit down.

I felt someone sit beside me. "Hey Hyde, I thought you guys were streaking." "Nah, we took a vote. It was unanimous." He replied. I laughed "Chickens." and playfully rolled my eyes. We watched President Ford walking and falling his way to the microphone. Hyde I guess had looked at my wrist.

"You're still wearing it?" pointing to the bracelet he gave me for my birthday. "Yeah, and I don't plan on ever taking it off. It honestly has to be one of the best things I have ever gotten from someone." Hyde has just looked at me and gave me the same smile he did on my birthday. It wasn't just a regular smile, it was one showing another side to him. The soft side of Steven Hyde. I tried to imitate his smile as I rested my head on his shoulder as we continued to talk.

I began to listen again when I heard "Now let's start the Q and A portion of the program. First up, I'd like to introduce Red Forman. Red is a father of two wonderful children, and how he's managed to keep them clothed and fed while being cut back to halftime at the plant is beyond me. But he doesn't blame the President for his misfortune. No sir, He only blames himself. I give you Red Forman."

I felt my body begin to tense up as Red walked down to the stage. "It's okay, he can do this." Hyde whispered in my ear as I felt myself relax a bit. "Thank you, Hyde" I said looking at him with a smile on my face. I could see his cheeks blush a bit as he said "Anytime, doll." I felt my heart begin to beat faster as I began to blush.

Red stood at the mic as he began to stutter, looking for words to say. I began to get nervous again and took some deep breaths. Hyde could see how I felt and them put his arm around my shoulder, trying to calm me down. "Your dad is bombing." Kelso told Eric which gave him a look of curiosity on his face. People began to laugh at him and took pictures. I then felt hands covering my eyes as I heard Eric scream "Wee wee! Pee pee!" like he used to when he'd run outside naked. Oh wait a second.

The hands of Hyde then were removed from my face as I watched the door shut. Red regained his confidence and then said "Here's my question, how the hell could you pardon Nixon?" as all of us applauded him.
