Author's Note: Hello everyone! How are you? Hope you're doing well! Today I have for you the first installment to the mini Valentine's Day collection that I'm doing this year. And when I say mini, I mean mini. These stories will be short but hopefully sweet. I do plan on doing some more frequent updates as long as you all are okay with that and are able to keep up with the chapters. Again these are short stories so hopefully it won't be a problem. I'm thinking a new piece every 2-3 days. And each new piece will star a new couple but they aren't connected…unless you want them to be lol This first one stars Fez and Laurie with the prompt of Candy Hearts. I think you all know which ones those are and you either love them or hate them right lol Hopefully you'll love or at least like this new story. Thanks for stopping by to read please do review if you can, I'd love to hear your thoughts, hope you like, and as always please enjoy!


Dressed in her long blush colored bathrobe, fuzzy slippers on her feet, and her hair messily pinned up, Laurie Forman bounded down the basement staircase and headed straight to the green washer dryer combo.

She was so concerned with checking her laundry that she never noticed the person seated in the middle of the room on the aging loveseat.

"Hello Laurie." they called to her, startling her and causing her to jump a bit.

Laurie didn't turn around though—continuing to give her back to the person—she didn't want to be seen like this. She couldn't be seen like this, which meant that she was going to have to kill whoever was in the room with her now. And she already knew exactly who it was. Maybe the sooner she got this over with and killed the guy the sooner she could go back to her planned schedule.

Slowly she turned around, wearing a smirk on her lips until her blue eyes met with brown ones and the smirk faded purposely.

"Oh it's just you." she greeted looking and sounding unimpressed, "I thought it was someone important."

Fez frowned at the statement, "Important people hangout in the basement?"

"Good one." Laurie nodded in approval.

A proud grin appeared on Fez's face but when Laurie turned back around to grab her clothes from the dryer, his expression became more curious.

"What are you doing here?"

Looking over her shoulder, Laurie shot him a bored look, "Unlike the rest of you freaks I actually live in this house which means I have the right to be here."

"But it's Valentine's Day." Fez said as if she needed reminding, "Why are you not on a date with a prince charming who treats you like the Love Goddess you are?"

Laurie looked at the foreigner with slightly confused look before she spoke in a defensive tone as she declared, "I have a date."

Her tone however wasn't enough to convince Fez.

"Yes, and I am allergic to chocolates." The moment the words left his mouth his eyes widened and he looked up at the ceiling above them, "I did not mean that!"

The blonde rolled her eyes, "I have a date. In fact I have dates" she annunciated the 's' and then gave a small shoulder shrug, "I'm just in between them right now. Even marathon runners get those walking breaks."

Fez nodded, not quite sure what marathon Laurie was talking about because he suddenly had a craving for a Marathon Bar with its chocolaty caramelly goodness.

"Where're the other losers?" Laurie asked bring Fez back from his candy daydream.

"They are all out on their romantic, sexy, valentine, love, dates" He explained, his smile now having faded into a somber pout, "while I am here standing alone, like the stinky cheese."

Laurie scowled, not sure if she wanted to know the actual answer but still asked her question, "The stinky cheese?"

"Yes, the one that the sonofabitch, Farmer Dell and his family did not take." Fez explained, suddenly sounding and looking more angry than depressed "They take the cat and the mouse but not the Fez! I mean cheese."

Now Laurie realized the foreigner was talking about a dumb children's nursery rhyme; she really should have known better she thought to herself.

"Sucks to be you." she stated in a voice that was anything but sympathetic.

Again Fez nodded his head, once again looking somber as he did so, "Yes, it is true. But at least I still have my sweetheart…well my Sweethearts." he tried to perk himself up by retrieving from his pocket the small pink rectangular box that held the famous Valentine's Day treat. He lifted the box over his mouth to pour a few of the mini heart-shaped candies into his mouth and then stopped to look at Laurie, "Want some?"

"Ew! No." screeched a disgusted Laurie, "Those things taste like chalk."

"They do not." Fez argued with a mouth full of sweets but as he continued to chew his candy his face dropped into a look that appeared both scared and grossed out, "Aye the do."

Forgetting about her laundry and her schedule for a moment Laurie walked towards the sitting area of the basement.

"The only thing those things are good for are throwing them at people." She told Fez as she perched herself on the arm of the old couch, her mind thinking back to when her mother would give her and Eric boxes of the candies as a little Valentine's gift and Laurie used hers to do some target practicing on her favorite target—her little brother.

Those were good times she thought with an evil smirk before another memory and use of the not so tasty candy hearts came to mind.

"Well that and using them to make conversations." She said.

"You make your candies talk too?" Fez asked a bit too excited as he poured a few candies hearts into his palm, "Me too! Ehem…"

"No, not that." Laurie interrupted before she became an audience member of what was sure to be a very weird candy puppet show, she dropped into the seat right next to Fez and yanked the Sweethearts box out of Fez's hand and started to explain what exactly she meant, "In school whenever we got these candies with the words printed on them we'd make a conversation by only reading whatever saying was on the candy."

Fez's eyes shinned with animation, "Oohh! I want to try!"

His nimble fingers flipped over the candy hearts that he still held in his palm, he wanted make sure he could see what valentine's saying each of them had on them. Once they were all flipped over he scanned over the pastel colored hearts in search of the perfect one. At last he settled for a yellow heart with two pink words printed on it.

"Be mine?" he read off the heart, lifting it up for Laurie to see.

Wearing a smirk, Laurie reached into the box of candy, picked out a light orange heart, and read it, "No way."

A frown scrunched onto Fez's forehead, "Wait…I think that I did that wrong…"

While Fez was busy rifling through his handful of candies for a better heart shaped message, Laurie was looking at her own candies by shaking the box around a bit to read some of the hearts inside.

"I forgot how lame these things were." She said clearly not as entertained by the candy as she was when she was younger, "I mean look this one actually says 'Kiss me.'"

Laurie took out a mint colored heart and lifted it for Fez to see the message and sure enough printed on the candy in capital pink letters were the words 'KISS ME.' Fez shrugged his shoulders.

"Well I never can deny a candy." He declared aloud.

Before Laurie knew what was happening Fez had covered her lips with his and was giving her a kiss that was unlike any kind of kiss she'd had before. She wanted to pull away or shove him off of her but she could no neither, but she couldn't move her arms around him either.

Finally Fez pulled away and grinned at her with an oversized grin but all Laurie could do was stare back at him.

"I've gotta go." she told him and then stood up from her seat, moving back towards the staircase and forgetting all about the laundry she'd come down for in the first place.

Fez watched her stand up and walk away with his heart and his box of Sweethearts, but he was too disappointed to say anything so he didn't say a word. He just turned away looking at the dark screen of the turned off the television and began his sulking.

"The cheese stands alone…the cheese stands alone." He sang, very, very sadly.

"Hey Fez." Laurie called out and right away Fez swung his head around to find her standing at the bottom of the stairway, "Catch."

She tossed something towards him and he cupped his hands to try to catch the little flying object. At last it landed and Fez saw that in his hands was a little white heart turned backwards. Carefully he flipped the candy over and read the two words that were written on the little heart, "CALL ME."

A smile had broken back onto Fez's lips but by the time he looked up from the candy message he could only see Laurie's fuzzy slippers before they disappeared up to the second level of the house; however that didn't diminish his smile one bit. He turned back around, looking at the still off TV, and continued with his song-this time in a much, much happier tone.

"Heigh-ho the derry-o Fez is not the cheese!"
