Everyone sat in the basement in their usual spots.

"Michael I want you to take me to the movies tonight," Jackie begged.

"I'm way ahead of you. 2:00, Smokey and the Bandit!" Kelso exclaimed.

"No, no, no. I already told you, I don't want to see that again. I don't like the South," Jackie complained.

"Want to go see The Goodbye Girl?" Donna suggested.

"Well I would but it has two basic flaws, no Smokey and no Bandit," Eric said, highfiving Kelso.

"Plus isn't The Goodbye Girl a girl movie?" Kelso laughed.

"You moron!" Hyde scoffed.

"Girls like to make out during girl movies," Lucy nodded, sitting in Hyde's lap and flipping the comic he was holding.

"How would you know?" Eric asked.

Lucy sent him a death glare and her twin quickly looked away.

"Well then I'm in!" Kelso cheered.

"Me too. I will come and watch," Fez said. Everyone looked at him concerned.

Kitty and Red came through the basement door. "Ok. T-minus 1 hour until the garage sale! Oh I feel like an astronaut! Oh Red! Remember how bad Eric wanted these rollerskates?"

"Yeah until Lucy pushed me off so she could have them," Eric mumbled.

"Not my fault you had small feet so I could fit in them!" Lucy defended herself.

"Yeah, you wasted a lot of my money son," Red said.

"Me and my damn childhood," Eric nodded.

"I mean, how could you?" Lucy asked, feigning shock.

"You know Mrs. Forman, I feel real bad. You let me stay here and everything. I wish I had something to contribute to the garage sale," Hyde said.

"Oh Steven, your loving smile is contribution enough," Kitty reassured.

"No it's not! You can start by letting go of my daughter!" Red scolded, Lucy jumped up and sat on the arm of the couch. "And then, run this upstairs," Red said, throwing a box on Hyde's lap.

"You heard him Kelso, move it!" Hyde commanded, throwing the box across the room.

"Hey, Dad, Donna and I were gonna go see The Goodbye Girl," Eric told their father.

"Yeah well I'm sure it's a great movie, Eric. But you're gonna be helping with the garage sale. It's important," Red said.

"Oh right we're having a garage sale because you lost your job—I mean because of all the clutter," Eric corrected himself when Lucy reached up to twist his ear.

"Everybody needs to work, Eric," Red said accusatorially. "The gravy train has made its last stop."

"Okay, there was a gravy train?" Eric asked stupidly.

"Yup and you missed it," Red smiled.

"Oh, Steven, I have a great idea. You could sell lemonade!" Kitty offered.

Hyde winced, "Mrs. Forman, I've thrown a lot of rocks at kids lemonade stands. Lord knows I hate a hypocrite."

"You could have a little bake sale!" Kitty suggested.

"I pretty much—" Hyde started.

"No! That's a great idea mom. Do you still have your brownie recipe?" Lucy interrupted, standing up off the couch.

"Ah yes! We could make brownies! Because people love brownies!" Hyde said standing up, wrapping his arm around Lucy's waist as she beamed at her grand idea.

"No they don't," Eric said, walking out of the storage closet with another box.

"Oh they love our brownies," Hyde smiled.

"Oh Steven, you are such a joy to have around the house!" Kitty beamed as Steven took out a tray of brownies and Lucy mixed another batch. "I can't believe your mother abandoned you!"

"Mom," Lucy whispered, "Too soon."

"Too soon?" Kitty whispered. Lucy nodded and the two laughed nervously.

"Boy I sure do like brownies," Kelso said. "You know what's got two thumbs and really likes brownies? This guy!"

"Oh Kelso, I hope your looks never fade," Lucy muttered.

"Hyde! Lucy!" Eric yelled coming into the kitchen. "I'm asking you not to make these brownies! I mean my mom and dad are—" Eric paused when Kitty came in "way too fat!"

"Nice cover," Hyde nodded.

"You know what Eric, you just leave them alone. This is how they contribute to our garage sale. And! I happen to know you out the special ingredient in these brownies!" Kitty smiled.

"I told him not to!" Eric yelled.

"Special ingredient?" Hyde asked nervously.

"Love!" Lucy turned and looked at the boys wide eyed, as if it were obvious.

"Yes! Love!" Kitty nodded.

"Mom! Crazy Helen from across the street is switching price tags and Dad said he's gonna kick her in the keister," Laurie said hands on her hips as she walked in the kitchen.

"Can I watch?" Lucy asked excitedly.

"Oh no, he'll do it too," Kitty said, rushing out.

"Hi Kelso," Laurie said provocatively. "Oh look! It's chocolate batter!" she dipped her finger in the bowl.

"Hey!" Lucy yelled, trying to reach for the batter as Hyde blocked her.

"I wish I could finish all this chocolate batter on my finger but I just can't. Oh! Guess I can!" Laurie smiled evilly after eating the batter off her finger. "Bye!" she walked away leaving Kelso drooling.

"Man, I was so close!" Kelso yelled.

"God, you can't make special brownies in my parents' kitchen," Eric slapped Hyde.

"But it's fun! I feel like an evil genius!" Lucy bounced giddily.

"Sure you are doll," Hyde smiled, taking the bowl from her.

"Come on, I'm serious," Eric said.

"Look, Forman relax ok? Yeah we're making special brownies, but we're also making regular brownies for the straight folk or losers." Hyde explained. "And look at her, I couldn't tell her no," Hyde pointed to Lucy who was sitting on the counter and swinging her feet excitedly.

"Yeah, one day I'm gonna own a restaurant and everything's gonna be special. And then when people ask me and they say Hey Kelso, what's the special? I'm gonna say everything!" Kelso smiled.

"Follow your dreams bud!" Lucy cheered, still excited about the brownies.

Hyde and Lucy were outside at the garage sale. Lucy was busy trying to carry out other boxes while Hyde was handing out brownies.

"Daddy? Can I please please go to The Goodbye Girl with Donna and Jackie?" Lucy pleaded after carrying the rest of the boxes and setting aside a last special tray in the kitchen.

"Fine. But you're paying for your ticket," Red said, refusing to give her cash.

"Thank you!" she beamed.

She walked over to the brownie table. "Do you have $3 yet?" she asked Hyde.

"Yup," he nodded, with a cheeky grin not giving her any.

"It was my idea, come on I get some profit!" she insisted.

"Fine," Hyde rolled his eyes.

"Thanks," she kissed his cheek, "I'll bring back the change."

Lucy walked back over to Donna, "You said it starts at 2:00? Right?"

"Yeah," Donna nodded.

"Well then we got to go, come on, Kelso drives," Lucy said.

"Why do you get to go?" Eric yelled.

"Sorry bro," she smirked.

"Guess this is goodbye, girl," Fez joked.

Lucy chuckled, "Good one Fezzie, come on."

At the movies Lucy sat between Fez and Donna, she was snacking on M&Ms and popcorn that Fez was holding.

Then all the sudden, Fez leaned in front of her and kissed her. It actually took her moment to register what was happening because she dropped her candy as her hands wrapped around his neck, kissing him back.

"Wait, what the hell?" she whispered, mainly to herself as she pushed him away.

"Oh my god!" Donna screeched.

"Yup I'm leaving," Lucy said, getting up and quickly rushing out of the theater.

Lucy slammed the basement door open, her face red from embarrassment.

"Oh, hi guys," she said awkwardly.

"Movie was that bad?" Eric asked.

"Um, no, just forgot my jacket," Lucy said nervously.

"Well, we're out of brownies but should have more money," Hyde said confused.

"Oh here's the change," Lucy said, dumping spare coins on the table.

"Well guys, it's dirty money. There's never enough!" Eric pointed out.

"No, man it's like I lost an entire tray of brownies!" Hyde explained.

Lucy and Eric exchanged a worried look, "What kind?"

"What one did you have set aside?" Hyde asked Lucy.

"Oh shit," she mumbled.

"Where was the last place you had them?" Eric asked nervously.

"In the oven," Lucy muttered, burying her head in her hands.

"In our mother's oven?" Eric yelled.

"No! In the goddamn queen's!" Lucy snapped.

The three all started upstairs to try to get the brownies before their mother.

"See kids your brownies were a big hit!" Kitty giggled at the half empty tray of brownies.

Lucy froze when she saw her parents and the Pinciotti's around the table.

The girls sat in the basement, talking to Lucy about what had happened.

"I don't know why he would kiss me! He's always had a thing for Jackie!" Lucy yelled quietly.

"Maybe it's because you give him nicknames and tell him it's okay when he's lonely," Donna pointed out.

"In a friendly way!" Lucy insisted.

"Beside, deep down, he knows I'm out of his league," Jackie added.

"I just can't believe he kissed you!" Donna said.

"Was it terrible?" Jackie asked curiously.

"Uh... No not terrible, I mean not best kiss of my life but it's definitely up there," Lucy contemplated.

"So Nick the jerk was a better kisser?" Jackie asked.

"Oh God no, he was disgusting," Lucy laughed. "But you know how when Fez talks he rolls his R's? That's how he kisses," Lucy nodded.

"Really? That sounds kind of cool!" Donna agreed.

"Wait a minute," Jackie said, ticking on her fingers. "You've only ever been kissed by Nick Thompson and Fez, but neither of them was your best kiss?"

"Oh um I guess it is Fez then," Lucy shrugged.

"Liar!" Donna yelled.

Just then Eric and Hyde came stomping down the stairs moping.

"What are you guys talking about?" Hyde asked.

"Trying to figure out Lucy's best kiss," Jackie said. "Fez kissed her today and she said it wasn't the best kiss of her life but then said it was when we pointed out that only left Nick. She's lying!"

"Oh really?" Hyde said, tilting his head with a smirk.

Lucy's eyes went wide and she subtly shook her head.

"Fez kissed you?" Hyde asked bewildered, finally registering what was said.

Lucy started to talk when Eric interrupted. "I don't want to hear about my sister's love life thank you very much!"

"Oh please! I hear about your's all the time!" Lucy scoffed.

"Well we have a real problem on our hands. Dad sold the Cruiser!" Eric yelled. "See! I asked you not to make special brownies but did you listen?"

"Well—" Hyde started to defend the him and Lucy.

"Exactly, you didn't," Eric said. "You two are just so smart. What were you thinking?"

Lucy started to speak again.

"Yeah that's it, that's a problem," Eric interrupted. "You weren't thinking. Now my folks are fried and I got no car."

"Wait a minute brownies? Your mom and dad are—" Jackie started laughing.

"Jackie, shut it," Eric snapped.

"Eric can you roll your R's?" Donna asked suddenly.

"What?" Eric asked, getting sidetracked. "That's not the point. The lesson is that if you dance with Mary Jane you get your toes stepped on. Consequences my friend and my dear naïve little sister."

"I'm older," Lucy chimed in.

"Doesn't matter. The car's gone and Red's high as a kite," Eric said, ignoring her.

"Red's high as a kite?" Donna laughed.

"Hey, Ms. Smartmouth, shut it. Ok? Be quiet," Eric said.

Just then, Red came downstairs, smiling goofily ear to ear. "I remember who I sold the car to!"

"Who?" Eric and Lucy asked nervously.

"I don't know but I remembered!"

"No, Daddy, please think," Lucy pleaded.

"Wait. Maybe his name is on that check he gave me!" Red thought aloud.

"Yeah maybe it is!" Hyde nodded, him and Eric following their dad upstairs.

Donna was still laughing, "Donna, your parents had the brownies too," Lucy leaned forward. Donna darted upstairs, knocking over her chair.

"Okay, girl to girl, who's the other mystery kisser?" Jackie asked excitedly.

"Jackie, I'm not telling you!" Lucy laughed.

"I won't tell a soul! Come on secrets are bad! They give you wrinkles!" Jackie smiled.

Lucy sighed, "Look you tell me about Kelso and you all the time and I'm pretty good about not voicing my disgust. So just don't say anything. And I never want to speak of the topic again okay?" She laid down the conditions.

"Got it!" Jackie bounced.

Lucy took a deep breath, "Hyde."

Jackie started screeching and Lucy had to cover her ears.

"But wh—" Jackie started.

"Nope, not another word," Lucy warned.

Hyde and Eric went with Red to get the Cruiser back and came back with ice cream. Lucy sat in her bedroom waiting for them to come back safe and sound and being exhausted after trying to get Kitty to sleep it off.

There was a knock on her door and Lucy sighed as she got up to open it, expecting it to be Kitty, "Mom you have to—Oh hi," she said upon seeing Hyde.

"We got the car back," Hyde nodded.

"Oh thank god!" Lucy sighed, leaning her head against the doorframe.

"So..." Hyde said with a cheeky grin as he stood in the doorway. "If Fez wasn't your best kiss and Dick Thompson—"

"Nick Thompson," Lucy corrected.

"Right, if Dick Thompson wasn't your best kiss. Whoever could your best kiss be?" he smirked.

"Don't be an ass Steven," Lucy laughed, as she shoved him away.

"No, I'm genuinely curious. Who's the best kisser?" Hyde teased.

"A frog would be a better kisser than you," Lucy said with a smirk as she slammed the door shut.
