Commencing update....


"A UNICEF contribution of thirteen cents will feed a child for a month." Kelso read aloud from the box in his hands. "Man, living in Africa must be great! Everything's so cheap."

"If you ask me, man, UNICEF's a scam." Hyde offered his unsolicited opinion.

"If we ask you, everything's a scam." Donna pointed out.

"Everything is a scam." Hyde insisted.

"Really?" Liz questioned from where she sat beside Hyde, tucked under his arm.

"Yeah." Hyde confirmed in an obvious tone.

"So that means our relationship is a scam." Liz raised an eyebrow challengingly.

"Well, obviously. We all know you're only using me for my body." Hyde gestured to himself.

"Damn, you're right." Liz joked along with Hyde.

He grinned back at her, thankful to have a girlfriend whose humor matched his own.

"Man, remember how much fun Halloween used to be? Making costumes, trick-or-treating..." Eric reminisced.

"What is trick-or-treating?" Fez asked.

"Well, you put on a costume, you go door to door and say 'trick-or-treat,' and people give you candy." Jackie explained.

"Oh, you got to be kidding me. They just give you candy?" Fez didn't believe it.

"Yeah, Fez, it's awesome! Part of why it's my favorite holiday." Liz assured.

"I didn't know Halloween was your favorite holiday." Hyde looked down at Liz.

"Probably because I'm so mysterious." Liz shrugged.

"Right, sure." Hyde chuckled.

"The best part of Halloween is getting the crap scared out of you. One year, I saw The Legend of Sleepy Hollow; I couldn't sleep for, like, a month!" Eric added.

Everyone just stared at him blankly.

"Can't relate." Liz said flatly.

"They give you candy? Just like that, no strings?" Fez questioned again.

"Yes, Fez, get over it." Donna confirmed, amused.

"Hey, you guys, you know what? My church is doing a haunted house." Jackie excitedly informed them.

"I really don't think anyone's gonna be scared by a bunch of Episcopalians." Donna said.

"Unless they have chainsaws. Let's go see The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." Kelso urged.

"Michael, I told you, I don't like Texans!" Jackie complained.

"I know. We can go to Old Main." Eric suggested.

"Our old grammar school?" Donna asked.

"Yeah, sure, you know. A dark, burnt-out, boarded-up school. Very creepy. We could... you know, we could tell ghost stories." Eric went on.

"Free candy? Even if you're not from this country?" Fez asked another time.

"Yes!" Kelso answered in annoyance.

"Hey, why'd they burn down the school, anyway?" Liz asked.

"Oh, they said it was arson." Jackie answered.
