Jackie came bursting into Lucy's room.
"No!" Lucy instantly yelled, seeing the look on Jackie's face. "Please do not tell me you and Kelso did it!"
Jackie plopped down on her bed, "We proved our love," she said wistfully.
"Congrats?" Lucy said unsurely. "Oh no, please don't tell me you did it after they got arrested because of the car," Lucy groaned.
"It was just like the book Prisoner of Love!" Jackie said joyfully.
"Well... you seem happy, so I'm happy for you—in some weird uncomfortable way," Lucy forced a smile.
"He's my dreamboat," Jackie said giddily.
"Well I'm proud of you, you made him kiss your ass for a year first," Lucy said impressed.
"The wait made it all the better," Jackie said, as if in a dream.
"Jackie, look at me," she grabbed the young girl's face in her hands, turning her away from her daydream, "Do. Not. Get. Pregnant."
Jackie nodded vigorously, "Oh for sure, you have any idea what that would do to my figure?"
The pair walked over to meet Donna and gossip about Eric before heading over to the basement.
"Hi sweetie how are you?" Jackie asked kindly.
"Well actually, I'm a little bit chilly, but I left my coat up in the car," Kelso said.
"You have legs," Lucy said before Jackie jumped up, "I'll go get it for you!"
"Handy little thing isn't she," Kelso grinned as the door slammed shut.
"You jerkwad," Lucy scoffed as Eric simultaneously said "Okay, that was cool."
"Cool?" Donna and Lucy turned to him sinisterly.
"And by cool I mean wrong and stupid," Eric corrected himself.
Lucy walked over to the TV, flipping through the stations before Hyde yelled, "Stop! Wrestling is back on!" leaning forward to pull Lucy away from the TV and into his lap.
"Oh I love wrestling!" Donna said excitedly. Eric began to tackle her and they wrestled before Donna held him around his neck to her chest, "Come on you're not even fighting back!" she laughed.
"Why would he fight back?" Hyde asked.
"I am not fighting you like that," Lucy said when Hyde looked at her.
"That's fine. I distinctly remember you used to bite everyone when you were angr—" Hyde said cheekily.
"I'll murder you," Lucy interrupted casually.
"Rocky Johnson is coming to Kenosha! Oh man, we got to go!" Eric said being pushed off of Donna.
"I'm in, I love midgets man!" Hyde nodded enthusiastically.
"Eric I need to see you up here!" Red's voice called from upstairs.
"Okay, I'll be right up!" Eric yelled up as he stayed sitting.
"You're not going up?" Donna asked confused.
"I'll go up when I'm ready," Eric said.
"Ooohh," everyone said shocked.
"It's your funeral," Lucy sang.
❁
About 5 minutes later Eric went upstairs to talk to their dad.
About 1 minute later Lucy got chills. "Shit," she mumbled as she ran up the stairs, leaving the rest of the gang to look at her quizzically.
She came darting into the kitchen panting. "Did you say no? Are you telling me no? Is that what I'm hearing?" Red yelled.
"I knew it!" Lucy whispered.
Eric looked at their father as he inched closer, his eyes darting quickly around, deciding if he wanted to do this or not, "Yeah," he said hesitantly.

Red stood in front of Eric and they had a stare off as Laurie watched eagerly and Kitty stood beside the two nervously waving her hands, "Oh dear!" Lucy stood beside her mother, her eyes widening, accepting the fact that she'd be without a twin from now on.
Finally Kitty managed to get Red out of the room before he murdered Eric. Lucy looked at Eric bewildered and slapped him, "Ow what was that for?" Eric rubbed his cheek.
"Pick your battles! 17 years and you choose to say no now? Over library books?" Lucy stormed out of the room and back down to the basement.
Everyone looked at her confused, "What happened?"
"Eric told Red no!" Lucy said, somewhat annoyed and somewhat proud.
"What?" "You're lying!" the group chorused.
"No!" Lucy held her hand over her heart, as if swearing, "My idiot brother, Eric Forman, stood up for himself. But probably ruined his social life—or the little there is—for the rest of his life."
"Oh my God she's telling the truth!" Donna said after looking at her closely.
❁
"Laurie sit down and eat some ribs," Kitty instructed.
"Mom! You know I'm on my water and yogurt diet!" Laurie turned back on her stool to read her magazine.
"Laurie, you know those don't work right?" Lucy asked concerned. Laurie just shrugged.
"Ok well isn't this nice! My whole family—mostly, having dinner. Right Red?" Kitty nudged her husband.
Red cleared his throat, "Ok Eric what happened at school today?"
"Why? What'd you hear?" Eric asked paranoid and Lucy kicked him for being an idiot.
"What's wrong with you? Can't I just ask you a simple question?" Red yelled.
"Red you need some potatoes!" Kitty slammed some mash potatoes onto his plate.
"Good job returning those books," Red sighed.
"Yeah I returned the book," Eric said. "Even though it was stupid," he muttered.
"What?" Red asked.
Lucy physically winced, "Nothing!"
"He said it was stupid Daddy," Laurie chimed.
"Ok what are you doing this weekend?" Kitty changed the topic.
"We are going to a wrestling match in Kenosha," Eric said, shoveling food into his mouth.
"Oh well you know isn't that something, a certain Mr. Red Forman used to wrestle in high school," Kitty beamed.
"No what I did was real. That stuff on tv is all an act," Red chuckled.
"Oh I don't know I bet if you went, you guys would really enjoy yourself," Kitty said casually. Lucy began shaking her head instantly, knowing how this would go.
"You know what," Red and Eric both started to make an excuse.
Kitty slammed her hands on the table, causing the plates and Lucy to jump, the boys sat down and Kitty smiled, "So you're going!"
❁
Everyone was gathered around the Vista Cruiser and piling in for the trip to Kenosha. Jackie was coming even though she hated wrestling, she and Kelso laid in the trunk of the car cuddling. Lucy gagged when she turned around to see them.
Lucy was squished between Hyde and Fez, until Bob decided to come along to complain about Midge, causing Lucy to be pushed into Hyde's lap.
Eric somehow convinced Red to let him drive to Kenosha, which was beyond Lucy.
They started the drive to Kenosha and everyone started fooling around. Fez and Kelso were smacking and fighting with eachother, Bob was being pushed into the side of the car, Jackie was yelling over everything right into Lucy's ear. Lucy was trying to get Donna's attention, everytime she almost did, Hyde would start tickling her, causing her to double over in laughter and smack him so he would stop.

Then Red lost it and they pulled over, Red started driving and everyone was silent. Red made sure to put Lucy in the back with Kelso and Jackie instead of having her sit on Hyde.
❁
By some miracle, they made it to Kenosha. Everyone took their seats and waited for the opening event with the 20 midgets to begin.
Eric had Donna sit awkwardly between him and their dad, Lucy on Eric's other side next to Hyde, refusing to sit next to Bob who couldn't stop complaining.
"There I was sitting in the kitchen and boom! She tells me she needs therapy. We had a beautiful thing Fezzie," Bob whined.
"Maybe if you don't want her to go to therapy, you could offer to listen to what she has to say," Lucy said patiently.
The boys all laughed, "See Bob women are hell," Hyde pointed to Lucy, who rolled her eyes. "Why don't you grab a beer and we'll talk it over."
"I could get you sodas because I know you're underage," Bob offered.
"Bob, this isn't about us. It's about you, and you need friends. And beer," Hyde explained.
"How stupid do you think I am?" Bob asked.
"Very," Lucy muttered.
"Why don't you grab a beer and we'll talk it over," Hyde smirked, Lucy snickered at his persistence.
"No!" Bob yelled.
"Well then Bob you're on your own," Hyde mocked Bob and stood up, to search for beer, pulling Lucy up with him.
"See how you drive people away?" Fez said disappointed before getting up to follow the two.
❁
Lucy cringed as she heard body slam after body slam and when the "tricks" caused the wrestlers to fall on their heads.
But Lucy was cringing more at how Jackie Burkhart was behaving around Michael Kelso. Lucy looked to Donna beside her and the two nodded. Lucy turned around in her seat to see Jackie cooling Michael off by placing ice on his forehead, "Um, Jackie, a word?"
"Yeah, hey Michael is it ok if I—" Donna pulled Jackie out of her seat before she could finish her question.
"Jackie what the hell is going on between you and Kelso?" Donna asked.
"Oh don't say it," Lucy winced.
"Michael Kelso and I made beautiful love," Jackie said calmly.
"Ew!" Donna shrieked. "I mean—" she tried to rephrase it when she saw Jackie's face, "No, ew."
"Jackie this isn't you, you're the girlfriend that bitches—more than necessary, but still," Lucy said.
"I can't be a bitch anymore," Jackie pouted. "I have to be nice what if he gets bored now?"
Lucy actually snorted and her hand quickly flew up to cover her laughs.
"Bored? Jackie he's gonna want to do it again!" Donna explained.
"And again, and again, and again," Lucy joked.
"So what you're saying is I'm completely in charge?" Jackie asked.
"No, no," Lucy started.
"Well in a partnership—" Donna was quickly interrupted.
"No I own him. I am the man," Jackie realized. "Thank you guys!" she beamed innocently but both the girls knew she was anything but that.
❁
"Steven, what are you doing? I want to watch the match!" Lucy said as Hyde and Fez pulled her aside.
"Do you want a beer or not?" Hyde asked impatiently.
"Coming!" Lucy perked up.
Lucy and Fez stood to the side as Hyde tried to get them drinks from the concessions.
"Good evening sir, I would want a refreshing cola please," Hyde smiled.
Lucy's eyebrows furrowed, not sure where the plan was going.
Then Fez spoke up with a deep voice, "And get me a beer son!"
"Ok dad sure, and a beer for my dad," Hyde asked.
Lucy had to bite her tongue so she wouldn't laugh.
When the cashier wasn't giving Hyde the drink, his smile fell, "You're not going to give me that beer are you?"
Fez walked over besides Hyde, "What seems to be the problem son?"
The cashier quickly turned them away and called next in line.
Hyde and Fez walked over to Lucy defeated.
"Aw, did your little plan not work?" Lucy teased, Hyde rolled his eyes. "Ok boys, plan b."
Lucy pulled her jeans down lower, and tied her shirt, revealing her stomach and fixed her bra and flipped her hair. When she looked up both the boys were gawking. "What?" she shrugged as she walked over to the cashier.
"Hiya," she twirled a piece of hair as she leaned forward on the counter, pretending to read the menu, "Could I get three beers please?" she asked outright.
The boys watched her in fear, anxious that her plan wouldn't work.
The cashier didn't even think twice as he handed her the beers, his eyes practically bulging at the sight of the young girl.
Lucy walked back over to Hyde and Fez, "Why are guys such pigs?" she asked as she handed Hyde her drink so she could fix her clothes.
"Because you women make us think about dirty things, like mud," Fez explained, still gawking.
Lucy looked at him confused, "All right then, come on then," she started walking back to their seats, with her head held high and the boys followed behind her obediently.
❁
They got home that night and Red, Eric, and Lucy all stumbled into the living room laughing.
"Hey tonight was actually fun," Red admitted.
"We won't tell mom," Lucy joked.
"All right let's go!" Eric and Red took stance, as if they were in their own wrestling match.
Lucy jumped up in the couch watching, "And go!" she announced.
Eric and Red pretended to wrestle, and then Eric managed to bring Red to his knees, trapping his arms, "Who's the king! Who's the king!" Eric screamed.
Lucy quietly cheered as if imitating a crowd.
"Ow! My neck! My neck!" Red said.
Eric quickly stood up and pulled their dad up, "Oh Dad, I'm so sorry, I didn't know," he reached out to touch his shoulder and Red spun around, taking Eric down to the same position that he was in seconds ago.
"Who's the king?" Red asked.
"You are," Eric said, limp with defeat.
Lucy jumped on the couch, "What a turn around, taken down by his own father. How embarrassing!"
Eric got up to tackle Lucy off the couch, he always had the horrible habit of picking fights he couldn't win, had since they were little. "Hey! No biting!" Eric yelled shocked, cradling his wrist.
"The winner!" Red held Lucy's arm up and she bowed to the fake crowd.
