It was time to choose our quotes for the year as we sat, ready to take our school pictures. "How about..." Somebody would say, then we'd all say no.
                          
"How about 'What a long strange trip it's been.'" Kelso insisted.
"That's what every hippie uses." Hyde said.
"It's got to be sentimental, like a way we met." I said.
"Let's not forget the way we met, Rose." Donna said.

1968:
The Pinciottis moved to Point Place. After giving Eric's family brownies, she went to Aubrey's house. Aubrey has watched Eric fall in love with her from her porch swing, and was not very happy.
"Hi, I'm Donna. Brownies?"
"I'm Aubrey, and no thanks. Don't come here again." She said slamming the door.
***
The group laughed getting a two in one. At the same time Donna and I hugged each other, being happy things worked out with us.
"I'll never forget the time I met Kelso." I said.
***
First Grade:
The blonde girl had been sitting at recess, on top of the monkey bars when she saw a mop headed boy looking from below at her. She jumped down and instantly liked him.
"Aubrey Rose; call me Rosie."
"Michael Kelso, call me Kelso."
***
"The only reason I brought you to this group was because I liked you, you know that right?" I said.
"Worth it, I got to see up your skirt that day." He said, I punched him for that. 
"But dont forget how Jackie and Kelso would 'play doctor' at the house." Eric said.  
"Farthest I've ever made it." He said.
"Well Hyde, how did you and Forman meet?" Donna asked. 
"Nope, told Eric if he told I'd kill him." 
"Then I'll die today."

1968
This curly headed boy had been walking home the scrawny kid home from school, from the red head always hitting him. 
"Thanks Steven."
"It's Hyde."
"What if my name was Seek. You get it, Hyde and Seek."
"Just call me Hyde."
The kids were all muddy, Kitty saw and knew what she had to do.
                          
Next thing they knew, the boys were in a bathtub, being cleaned.
"If you tell anyone about this, I'll kill you." Hyde said.
***
"Now I have to kill you." He said, giving us a laugh. 
"That's why you were soaking wet." I realized.
"I enjoy the ways I met all of you." Fez said.

1976
Eric, Hyde and Kelso were hanging out when they heard someone ask for help. They open the door to see Fez hanging from a rack holding a dodgeball. They brought him in to make sure the jocks wouldn't hurt him. Then Hyde. beat up Kelso.
***
Hyde and Kelso we're taking Fez to Donna's to introduce him to Aubrey and Donna since she was at her house. Donna had finished taking a shower and Aubrey  was in the middle of changing, and had no shirt on or bra, and Donna in a towel. They were like sister so they didn't mind changing in front of each other, but then the door opened to three guys.
                          
It scared Donna, and her towel came off, and Rose still had no shirt on. Luckily Kelso didn't see it. Aubrey slammed the door and they looked at each other mortified.
                          
"What's happened?" Kelso asked.
***
Kelso has continued to try and see Donna saying "Oops sorry." though it never worked. It was funny. We all got a laugh about that too. Kelso tried to deny it, but we all know it was a lie.
                          
"Man, Kelso keeps getting beat up by Hyde." Donna said.
"Name one time." He said.
"My pleasure." She said as we thought about all the times Hyde hurt Kelso, preferably in the eye.
                          
"Let's not forget how Eric had a zit in his picture last year." Hyde said.
"I'm zit free this year. And I'm not afraid to borrow Rosie's makeup." He said. We then thought about how we usually has a zit in a picture.
                          
"Okay, what's our quote?" I asked.
"Something about me." Jackie said
"How about the time I met you?" Donna said.
***
Donna was looking down to a small girl.
"I've never met you, maybe because I'm richer than you." She said. Donna threw the ball at her.
***
That's when Eric got a zit. We all just couldn't stop looking at it. We all also had to burn him, it was horrendous. 
                          
"We still need a quote." I said.
"Let's use Lisa Manning's: Hanging at the mall, ice cream and khalua, bobby sutton is a god, yeah." Hyde said.
"This is sad, what have we been doing with our lives?" Eric asked. Our minds went to the same flash backs.
***
young Hyde Kelso Eric and Rose we're sitting in a circle playing cards.
"Kelso who has stronger powers, I dream of Jeannie or Samantha's from Bewitched?" Hyde asked.
"Samantha's, totally. Witches beat genies cause they fly." Kelso said.
"I agree. Game over." Aubrey said.
"Why does Jeannie where is see-through clothes? It's gross. It makes me feel funny too." Eric said
—-
Older Hyde Eric Rose and Kelso in the circle with fun glasses on.
"No way is Samantha's hotter than Jeannie. Hey I heard they made an episode that never aired where Jeannie gets totally naked. The government banned it."  Hyde said.
"All I know is with one little nose twitch, Samantha's clothes could be off. And that's hot." Kelso said.
"What if you didn't have to choose? What if you could be with both at the same time?" Eric said looking at Michael. He turned to Hyde.
"Is that legal?"
"If you don't get caught, everything's legal. Stolen pretzel?" He said. 
"You're not wrong there." Rose said.
—-
Modern day Eric Hyde Kelso Fez and Rose are sitting in the circle.
"Guys this conversation is over. yesterday Samantha went back in time that trumps anything Jeannie ever did." Eric said.
"Well Jeannie can freeze time. so Samantha could go back but Jeannie could freezer there. Who kicked who's ass then?" Kelso said.
"You know what would settle this. A little Samantha on Jeannie mud wrestling." Hyde said.
"I'd pay to see that." Rose said.
"All I know is Samantha's helps Darrin at work but what does Jeannie do for Major Nelson? Turns him into a monkey. This isn't helpful." Fez says. Just then, Donna joins.
"I really need to question Major Nelson's sexuality. Having a half naked genie is doing more than his laundry." She said. Then Jackie joined.
"You know what would be best? Samantha's hair, Jeannie's pretty bottle room, and wonder woman's accessories." 
"We've been talking about this for a really long time." Hyde said. We started throwing pretzels and having fun.
***
"I figured it out. What a long strange trip it's been in Forman's basement." Kelso said. Now there was our quote, that would show who we were for the year. 
"Okay guys I'm going to freshen up real quick." I said going to the bathroom. 
                          
A bit later I took my picture and it looked good.
***
I looked back on the yearbook. The most likely to's:
JACQUELINE BURKHART: destroy a talented man's potential 
FEZ: play "ponch" duringthe musical version of "CHiPs"
ERIC FORMAN: go through a beret wearing phase in college
STEVEN HYDE: commit insurance fraud 
MICHAEL KELSO: owe you $500
DONNA PINCIOTTI: move to New York and become Lou Reed's reluctant muse
AUBREY ROSE: succeed
With all of our good pictures, but Eric's from his popped pimple making it worse.
