Hey, guys! So this is new. Never thought I would write a story for That '70's Show. Just a kind of warning: I really don't know if I'm going to continue this. I don't know how active this fandom is anymore and I do have other stories so if no one's really out there then I'm just going to take it down. I really hope that I get some reviews and follows/favorites but as far at that goes I am testing the waters. SO, that being said this is kind of a practice chapter. It's just to test the waters - that's why it's so short.


Chapter One: Forman Family Thanksgiving

"Slut."

"Dweeb."

The brunette smiled thinly at the blonde haired girl in front of her, completely ignoring the college girl standing in the gutter of the bus depot. Where just a moment ago, Eric had been complaining about the cold November air, now he was completely silent, his eyes wide.

For the first time since Tina Forman had entered her junior year in high school and Laurie had entered her second year in college, the sisters were coming face to face. Like most teenage girls, a boy was the cause of their long silence towards each other and although Eric couldn't completely understand it, he respected the fact that talking about it would get his playboys torn to shreds and he would be waist deep in girl anger. And frankly, female emotions were far beyond him.

And he was man enough to admit that they scared him a little bit.

"Sooo," Tina started slowly, the casual tone of her voice deceptive even as her blue eyes flashed icily up at her older sister. "How many guys did you bang this time?"

"Tina!" Kitty exclaimed, horrified but still forcing out a laugh at the stares from some of the people crowding the bus station.

Laurie's lips tipped up, not even fazed for a moment at her little sisters question. To Tina, Laurie always seemed closer to a sly cat than a human being. A really bitchy, sly cat that was always in heat.

"Mm," the blonde laughed, sliding a well manicured hand to one hip. "It's cute that you're pretending to even know what that word means, little sis."

It was a low blow. Even Eric knew that, his eyes widening even more as he gulped. It was hard to believe that his twin sister had ever been close with their eldest sibling. When they were younger, more than Eric, Tina had gone to Laurie for protection and advice. When the kids at school used to get after the brunette who always seemed to be too skinny or too quiet, it was Laurie who would make them shut up.

But all that changed when they both girls had gone after Todd Jackson the summer before. Especially since Tina had been so young and Laurie… Well, Laurie was Laurie. Hot Laurie. Laurie with the baby blues and the sexy smile. Laurie with the boobs. The blonde got Todd with little more than a bat of her lashes and Tina had been the last one to find out. By walking in on them having sex. On her bed.

"We should…" Red coughed, feeling like he was back in World War II trying to escape enemy notice rather than about to take his three children back home for Thanksgiving. Both Kitty and Red shared a panicked glance. Not only would they have their two lovely daughters under the same roof but Red's mother was coming. Red's mother. "You both look like you're freezing! We should get in the car, don't you think?"

It was a horrible cover but with a firm hand around Laurie's bicep and another around Tina's, both Red and Kitty were able to hightail it over to the car. Even though Tina was thinking about clawing Laurie's stupid eyes out the whole way there.

Sitting crammed all in the back of the Vista Cruiser, breathing in Laurie's cheap as hell perfume, it almost seemed to be like when they were children. Eric was still scrawny. Laurie was still the prettiest. And Tina was still the one with the smart mouth. Over the years, although she would never be able to match up to her older sister in her own mind, she had grown through the gangling arms and legs. She had gotten a figure and knew how to put on makeup that made her blue eyes pop. On more than one occasion, Kelso and Fez had tried to get with her.

"So," Tina started in again, turning her full attention on Laurie's little friend with the calculation of a cobra about to strike. "What was your name again?"

Up front, Kitty gave another hysterical laugh and started in on a verse of Jingle Bells like the song would save her from the oncoming storm.

"Kate!" the bottle blonde chirped, her smile so big and dumb that it almost made Tina feel bad for her. Slowly, her eyes moved to Laurie who merely shrugged. Her older sister liked the stupid ones. They seemed to make the girl feel invincible.

"That's a…" Eric let out a breathy laugh, his eyes dreamy enough to draw his twin sister's attention. "That's a really, really great name."

"Careful, Eric," Tina sang softly to him, making sure that only he could hear her. "You're eyes are getting a bit too big for your body."

Although, her brother had tried to keep it low, almost everyone who had eyes in their skull could see that though it wasn't official, he had the hots for the redhead next door. And Tina couldn't blame him. They had known Donna Pinciotti since they could walk. Secretly, the brunette had always thought that the redhead would grow out of her faze and go after someone a bit taller. Maybe a football player. Or… Someone other than her brother.

But if he went after Kate - and Tina knew all too well how tempting a dumb blonde could be - than he would lose Donna. And the respect of everyone including her.

Eric gave a fake laugh, elbowing her in the side before turning back to Kate. "So I saw that you're wearing an... Abba shirt. I just love those...Um…"

"Their song, Waterloo is my favorite," Kate gushed, nodding enthusiastically and Eric gave a relieved smile.

"Yeah! Musicians. They had to be musicians. Love their work. Could you… You wanna sing a little?"

And so the car was filled to the brim with the wondrous songs of Abba. To the complete and utter chagrin of Red.


Once again, just putting my toes in. This doesn't really get into anything but this story will be a Hyde/OC. I know. I wanted to do a Jackie/Hyde story but it's hard enough keeping all the characters in line as it is without writing in the mindset of a preppy, rich chick. Anyway, I hope you like it and please follow/favorite if you can and review if you can't. I really want to continue this so I'm crossing my fingers.
