Oh my God, Steven!" Jackie exclaimed excitedly, shoving her newspaper aside as she hopped off the deep freeze, interrupting the others' card game, "They opened up a disco in Kenosha!"

"... So?" Hyde said, giving her a funny look.

"C'mon, Jackie," Eric said, "A disco? No way."

"I don't know," Donna interjected, "It might be kinda fun to go dancing." At that, Jackie began dancing in excitement.

"We could go," Eric said immediately.

"Alright, look, I got nothin', I fold," Kelso said, setting his cards on the table.

"Well, if you're out, go make some popcorn," Hyde said before looking at Jackie dancing beside him, "Jackie, you go with 'em." She rolled her eyes, smacking his shoulder  as she followed Kelso up the basement stairs.

"What is disco?" Fez asked.

"Disco is from hell, man," Hyde answered, using that hippy tone he sometimes gets, "And not the cool part of hell with all the murderers, but the lame ass part where all the bad accountants live."

"'Scuse me, what're you doing?" Eric asked playfully, watching Donna lift Kelso's cards to take a look.

"I'm lookin' at Kelso's cards," She shrugged back.

"That's cheating," He said just as Jackie's voice called from upstairs, "Eric, we can't find the popcorn!"

He hopped from the couch, but then looked back at Donna with a grin, "Donna, why don't you take a look at my cards, then you won't hafta wait for me to leave."

"No," She muttered, slapping his hands away, but he persisted, holding the cards up to her face as they got into a small slap fight.

"Eric, quit!"

"Tell me what I have, you cheater!"

"Nothing! You got nothing!"

"Yeah, and I'm gonna bluff, so watch out," Eric joked, hopping from the couch again and running up the stairs to help Jackie and Kelso with the popcorn.

There was a small pause, Fez staring at Donna before he looked to Hyde, "Donna has the stuff for Eric, yes?"

"No, thing, Fez. Donna has a thing for Eric," Hyde corrected before looking up from his cards at Donna, "Why do you have a thing for Forman anyway?"

"Why do you have a thing for Jackie?" Donna shot back. But when she looked at Hyde, she was surprised to find a small, genuine smile on his face as he stared down at his cards.

"I got lotsa reasons to like Jackie," He said, glancing back up at her, "But what about you and Forman?"

"He makes me laugh, he doesn't ask me stupid questions," She directed the second answer to Hyde, "He's smart... ya know."

"No, I don't know," Hyde smirked playfully.

"Oo, I know," Fez said happily, raising his hand. Hyde pointed at him, like a teacher calling on a student.
