Alternative That 70s Show

Pilot

"Whoa, Marsha," Eric mocked the silent TV, "A football in the face. That's gotta hurt."

Eric and Kelso were sitting on the couch, Donna on the floor at his feet. Hyde sat in his usual chair, leaned back casually, arms around a certain girl's waist. Jackie sat on his lap, leaning against his chest with crossed arms and folded legs, her eyes quickly glancing back and forth between the TV and Eric and Donna.

"Ouch, my nose!" Donna cried out in a valley girl voice.

"That's gonna be huge in the morning." Eric grinned.

"Bigger than my boobs?"

"Well, bigger than the left one."

"Why are we watching this without the sound?" Jackie finally asked, "I'm totally confused."

Donna sighed in annoyance, lifting herself into the lawn chair.

"Here, use the earphones," Eric said, handing the white bud to Jackie. Hyde scooted the chair closer in order to accommodate the wire length.

"So," Kelso began, "What's the deal with the Vista Cruiser?"

"The deal is there is no deal yet." Eric answered.

"Shhh!" Jackie mock whispered, giving them a wide-eyed, annoyed look. Hyde pinched the side of her neck in annoyance. She slapped his hand in retaliation.

"Well, how're we gonna get to the concert?" Kelso asked, not noticing the looks Eric, Hyde, and Donna were sending him.

"Shut up," Donna hissed.

"What concert?" Jackie asked, glancing at Hyde's blank face before turning her attention to Kelso as she set the earphones on the coffee table.

"Uh…" Kelso stuttered, finally aware of the glares most of the room's occupants were sending his way, "Todd Rundgren."

"When?" Jackie asked pleasantly.

"This weekend…."

"Oh! So whose going?"

"Uh… Eric and Donna, me and Hyde, and the foreign kid, Fez…."

A pause.

"An-and you…?"

"Oh," Jackie said, pleasant smile still in place, "Good, good, good. Well thanks for telling me, Steven." She finished with an emphasis on Hyde's name, whipping her head back around to face him.

"Well, I'm," Eric stuttered, "Getting a soda." He finished, quickly standing. Donna made a sound of agreement before following, being sure to shove Kelso back into the couch for giving their plans away to Jackie.

"You don't want me to go to the concert, is that it?" Jackie asked when they were finally alone standing up. She tried to sound angry, but Hyde could hear the underlying hurt in her voice.

"I didn't know you liked music?" Micheal studdered while Jackie was giving him a death glare.

"Micheal!" She yelled.
