Lucy walked outside, magazine and soda in hand. Jackie had called her moments before, urging her to wait outside so she could show her something.

Lucy opened the door and rolled her eyes, "Oh, you're here."

"Well I do live here doll," Hyde said condescendingly.

The two had been avoiding eachother since Halloween, each resenting the other for what happened.

Lucy sneered and walked behind Fez and perched herself on the porch railing. "Hey Fezzie," she said, patting his head.

The two boys talked about random things for a while, Lucy wasn't paying much attention because she was trying to read about the newest trends and fashions.

"Do you think when girls have sleepovers, sometimes they play games and giggle, and then every once in a while, they start to make out all together in a big naked heap?" Fez asked Hyde hopefully.

Hyde nodded thoughtfully, "I sure hope so," he said with a smirk.

"Me too," Fez said as he looked to Lucy, who was still reading Cosmo.

"Do you think that you guys will ever stop being pervs?" Lucy asked mockingly, "And more importantly, would I look better if I grew my bangs out?"

Fez peered up at the magazine, "No, they'd take away from your eyes."

Lucy hummed, "Oh my gosh, you're right!"

Jackie came running up to the porch, clearing her throat theatrically, "May I have you attention please? I would like to introduce to you all the new Michael Kelso!"

Jackie clapped as Kelso ran through the garage, coming out in a leather jacket and a wide grin. "So huh? What do you think? Yeah Jackie says it makes me look like Marlon Brando in The Wild Ones. Yeah I'm so Brando."

Lucy was giggling hysterically, trying to muffle her laughter by holding the magazine up to her mouth.

"Yeah, if Brando had a buddy named Potsie," Hyde said.

Jackie's eyes went wide and Kelso's grin fell, "What are you even saying?"

"I think you know what I'm saying. Aaaay!" Hyde grinned, mocking The Fonz.

"Jackie did you dress me up like The Fonz?" Kelso spun around.

Lucy rolled off the porch railing and into the grass, still giggling.

"No Michael, I did not dress you up like The Fonz! Although, I kind of like The Fonz. Lu get up!" Jackie smiled.

Kelso turned to Fez, "Fez! Fonz? Yes or no?"

Fez smiled, "Well you know me Kelso, I just want you to be happy."

Lucy composed herself and sat up.

"Thank you Fez," Kelso beamed.

"Now if I could just have a moment of your time?" Fez asked.

"Sure," Kelso nodded.

"Good yes. Okay, a gang of toughs has taken over Arnold's, help us Fonzie you're our only hope!" Fez laughed as Lucy and Hyde highfived him.

"I can't believe you guys!" Kelso exclaimed. "Here I am as Brando as can be, and you guys can't even see that!"

"Kelso, Fez is more Brando than you," Lucy said amused as Fez looked up at her hopefully, "Really?"

Kelso huffed, "Well you can all just—"

"Sit on it?" Hyde interrupted.

Kelso stormed away and Jackie rushed to follow him.

"Thanks for making my week Jacqueline!" Lucy called after her friend.

❁

Lucy was in her room, finishing some homework when her door burst opened.

"Eric! What the hell? Knock!" Lucy yelled offended.

"Ok but I—" Eric started.

Lucy held up her finger, "Uh huh, go back, knock."

Eric sighed as he walked out of the room and closed the door before knocking again.

"Come in," Lucy smiled with satisfaction.

Eric burst in the room again and ran to Lucy's bed.

"Donna said she loved me!" Eric explained.

Lucy's jaw dropped, "Eric! That's great!"

"I said I love cake!" Eric yelled distraught.

Lucy furrowed her eyebrows, "But—you didn't say you love Donna?"

"No!" Eric yelled.

"Oh shit," Lucy gasped. "Eric! You just have to man up and say it, you've known her forever and it's not like you're just going out with her for sex, so just say it when you see her again," Lucy explained calmly.

Eric nodded, "Right, right, but what if I screw up again?"

"Don't screw up again!" Lucy yelled.

❁

The girls sat on the hood of the Cruiser the next day as Donna explained the events of the night before.

"And then he punched me in the arm and said Man," Donna explained.

Lucy hit her palm to her forehead, "That idiot."

"Oh my God, what a horrible disaster. Well go on!" Jackie urged.

Donna sighed, "I guess, I, like, totally screwed things up. 'Cause ever since I said I love you he's been acting so weird."

"I'm sorry, have you met my brother?He's always weird," Lucy nodded sympathetically.

"Ok, wait a second, I'm a little confused. Why did you say I love you?" Jackie yelled.

"Because I...Love him?" Donna said as if it were obvious.

"Valid reason," Lucy nodded.

"No! That's got nothing to do with it!" Jackie explained, "She's too young to be saying I love you."

"Shut up Jackie, you say it to Kelso all the time and you're like younger than me," Donna said.

"Not in Love Years," Jackie exclaimed.

Lucy laughed, "But in Year Years you are, when do you turn 18?"

Jackie shrugged, "On my birthday. All right, Donna, look, Eric doesn't know how to handle that kind of thing. You probably just scared him off. All you can do right now is play it cool for a little while, turn down the emotional heat, and Donna, God willing, he'll forget you threw yourself at him."

Lucy nodded, "Give him space, the less space you give him the more he crowds me."

Donna furrowed her eyebrows, "I know it sounds impossible, but what you said actually makes sense."

Jackie nodded, "Look, the sooner you guys realize I'm a genius, the better off we'll all be."

❁

Everyone was gathered in the basement, watching some tv show. Lucy had opted for Happy Days but Kelso yelled at her. Lucy sat besides Jackie and Kelso refused to get rid of The Fonz jacket.

"Hey Donna check it out!" Eric said excitedly. He ran to the freezer, "Kelso! Fudgesicle!"

Eric threw the Fudgesicle and Kelso dived over the couch in hopes of getting the Fudgesicle, kicking Jackie and jumping on Lucy in the process.

Lucy pushed Kelso's legs away from her, "Right, this is why I hate this spot," she whined.

Kelso looked around the ground, "Where'd it go?"

"Perhaps it went under the couch," Fez offered as he leaned over to get the Fudgesicle once Kelso got up.

"Jackie, Lucy, let's get out of here, this is kind of lame," Donna said, hopping off the couch.

"I'll stay here, I have to talk to Eric about some stuff," Lucy smiled, before glaring at her brother.

"Wait, Donna. So will I see you later?" Eric asked nervously.

Jackie and Lucy shook their heads at Donna who smirked, "No, you're never going to see me again!" Jackie and Donna flipped their hair before walking out.

"Ha! She's a little pistol huh?" Eric chuckled nervously.

Hyde had laid his leg across Lucy's lap since Jackie had moved, still leaning back in his seat as Lucy was trying to shove his boot off of her lap. "Steven!" she whined.

"What did you do?" Hyde asked Eric, ignoring the girl who was now punching his shoe.

"Nothing I did what you said! I told her I loved her!" Eric defended, climbing onto the couch.

"Pants on fire!" Lucy sang.

Eric continued, "No it's true! Except-except and I might've, you know, popped her one on the shoulder and called her man."

"You idiot," Fez sighed.

"Hey this isn't my fault!" Eric exclaimed, "It's your fault! You said if I told her I loved her she'd say it back and she didn't man!" Eric pointed to Hyde. "She just stared at me."

"How long did you wait for a response Eric?" Lucy sighed.

"Yeah how long did you wait until you completely muffed out!" Hyde yelled.

"Forever guys, like five minutes," Eric nodded.

"You're lying!" Hyde said.

Lucy smirked, "Donna said it was right after, you wimped out!"

"Time ceased to exist, okay!" Eric yelled. "I was just hanging out there, really far out there, just hanging!"

"Eric contributes in class but does not follow directions," Hyde said annoyed.

"Damn where the hell is that Fudgesicle?" Kelso yelled while Fez ate it right besides him. "Hey is that my Fudgesicle?"

"No this one is mine," Fez explained coolly.

Kelso continued flipping over pillows, "Damn, where is my Fudgsicle?" He got up, peering down Lucy's shirt.

"It's sure as hell not down there!" Lucy yelled annoyed as she pushed him away.

Eric spoke up panicky, "Just tell me how am I supposed to fix this?"

Kelso popped up from behind the couch, "Well first of all, you need to learn how to handle your little woman troubles without getting all freaked out. It's pretty unmanly man."

Laurie's boots were heard coming down the stairs and Kelso immediately jumped up to stand behind her as she put clothes in the wash.

She turned around and starting laughing hysterically, pointing at Kelso's jacket. "Aaay!" she laughed, holding two thumbs up like The Fonz. She turned around still laughing and went upstairs.

"That's it, I hate this stupid thing!" Kelso exclaimed as he struggled to take the jacket off. "Laurie's laughing at me."

"But Kelso I thought we were supposed to handle our woman troubles like a man," Eric teased.

"Shut up! Shut up! If anybody else here laughs at me I'm going to kick so much ass!" Kelso yelled. "And that's my Fudgesicle," he said as he snatched it from Fez and stormed out.

Lucy looked at the boys, "See this is why if you guys handled your issues like a woman, there'd be way fewer wars that's all I'm saying."

Eric scoffed, "You're literally not talking to Hyde still because of Halloween."

"But has there been a war?" Lucy spun around.

Eric crouched back, afraid of the wrath of his sister, even if she had never caused a war.

❁

Donna and Eric had finally talked things out and now everyone could hang out in the basement without any awkwardness, except the annoyance surrounding Lucy and Hyde.

"Oh Hyde!" Fez said impressed as Hyde walked out of his room wearing The Fonz jacket. "What a fabulous look for you."

"Seriously you look like Marlon Brando or something," Donna complimented.

Lucy peered over the top of her book from Fez's usual spot to see what the commotion was about. "He looks like an ass," Lucy said unimpressed. Although she had to admit, he looked hot.

Hyde just shrugged and smirked, "But you have a thing for leather jackets don't you?"

Donna laughed, "Right! You do! You told me!"

Lucy glared at Donna, before turning to look at Hyde, "Not even a leather jacket could make me like you."

Laurie walked over from the dryer, finally paying attention to the conversation, "Oh my God, Hyde, when did you get so hot?"

"What?" Kelso asked in disbelief and Lucy echoed his thoughts in disgust.

Her sister began running her hands up and down the jacket and for some reason Lucy's blood was boiling, "I've always been hot. Jacket just brings it out," Hyde shrugged.

"No! Give me back my jacket!" Kelso yelled.

Lucy stood up to stand by her sister and pull her away from Hyde, "Okay Laurie, don't let the illusion of the jacket get to you," she warned.

"Get off me, you load!" Kelso yelled as Hyde tackled Kelso onto the couch.

❁

Lucy still sat in the basement, too lazy to go upstairs to watch tv and she knew Bob was probably over and she was in the middle of a tv movie.

"Ah, just couldn't resist could you LSD?" Hyde asked with a grin as he walked out.

Her heart stopped for a moment Damn it leather jackets, I should just rip it off of him so he doesn't look so good—no, don't think about ripping it off of him, damn it.

"Trust me, if anything it's you that can't resist," Lucy sneered.

Hyde looked at her in her pjs, an oversized tshirt and shorts, her hair in a messy ponytail. Even still she was right, he couldn't resist, and he hated her for it. So he just sunk down in his seat and the two stared at the screen as they thought about how much they hated the other.

Lucy brushed it off as hormones and Hyde pushed the feeling away, just as he had been doing for years.
