If I had a nickle for everytime I've seen Timmy C marrying Florence P even tho he is in love with someone else I'd have two nickles which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Thank you alll for voting but yes Jack won so he got this fic! I wrote it over a couple of days so this might not be the most cohesive fic but 2024 had to start somewhere... right?
Tumblr media
You swore the universe hated you.
Growing up as a kid your older sister Kiara was everything you wanted to be. Only twelve months older than you it meant that you two were constantly compared to each other. But as she was a cheerleader with perfect vision, straight teeth and clear skin. Those comparisons cute deep as you preferred theatre, had braces and acne until junior year and only learnt how to substitute your glasses for contacts the summer before college. The point was that she was always the hot sister and you were always the one who dipped out on those genes, most guys befriended you because it meant they could get closer to her.
In 2010 your family moved to Michigan and with that the purchase of a lake house came with it. The place was right next door to the Hughes’ and with that and your close ages to Jack and Luke, it was no surprise that your families became friends.
From the moment you saw Jack it was practically no surprise that you fell for him. From the way he made your heart pound out of your chest to the way, you felt just a little bit better about yourself when you were the cause of his smiles.
Kiara didn't want Jack, she made it clear that she was always into older guys. She also knew about the crush you had on the boy as he was always the one you were excited to see the middle Hughes boy. Unfortunately for you, Jack never really noticed it, to him you were Luke's friend and Kiara's younger sister. You just so happened to have the room that looked into his but the tree that sat between your two rooms was barely used.
Jack liked you as a person but as you would quietly sit and watch the group together, it meant you often fell to the corners of his mind. Like a fly on a wall, Jack often made the mistake of forgetting to pull you back into the group. You never held that against him though, hell you could never blame him for anything. Your silence was actually how you found Luke.
After embarrassment flooded through your body when you realized that Jack had been in the house when you confessed to Ellen that you liked Jack. You swore you were never going to step foot in that house again it took Luke and some ice cream to swear that Jack hadn't heard what you said. Now nobody would bring you back into the misery you felt in that moment. But that didn't mean that Jack didn't forget your words, truly he had never heard someone talk so highly of him.
"He's just so perfect and his smile makes me feel soft inside."
Even after all of these years of knowing him, it was amazing how only the last few years caused so much change for you and Jack.
summer of 2021
The boys had been playing football in the yard when they heard your car pull up “c’mon we gonna finish this game or not?” Trevor complained as everyone shook their heads opting to instead go help your parents in the hopes of talking to Kiara “you guys are disgusting.” Luke grumbled as he was the only one who just wanted to see you. Kiara had always been a hot commodity at the lake house because she was either tanning in the yard or in her room, never on the boat.
But as the boys came around the wall to finally see the front of the house they didn’t know what was more shocking. The fact that a boy had his hand wrapped around her waist or the fact that there was a girl who was arguably just as pretty stood alone next to them “Luke!” You called out with a squeal as you ran over to the boy not hesitating to wrap your arms around him as he spun you around.
Jack and Trevor both wore the same shocked expressions as they realised it was you. You had grown and finally let your hair grown out of the cut that you seemed to be attached to since you were a kid. Jack didn’t mean to stare but as you sent the boys a toothy grin as you were placed back on the ground he couldn’t help but notice that your breasts had grown larger too, by two or three cup sizes since the last time he had seen you. You raked your fingers through your hair not noticing that they were indeed checking your out as you were in shorts and your bikini top with a baseball jersey covering your shoulders “hey.” You smiled looking up at Jack.
Even after all of these years he could still make your cheeks grow warm just by looking at you “hey.” He matched your quiet expression as he opted for the usual side hug “when did that happen?” The moment the question left Jack’s lips and he saw how it was a bubble of disappointment burst over your head he regretted it.
All of the light that came in your confidence now disappeared as his desire for your sister hit you like an awful taste in the back of your throat "she met him on her trip to Thailand." Right after she turned Jack down Kiara went on a trip with her friends and of course she just had to go ahead and meet the man of her dreams "six months strong." It made Jack wince as he thought about how that was only a month after Jack let it slip that he thought she was hot.
Trevor had still been watching you as he finally cleared his throat "you got anyone special in your life sweets?" The Ducks player brought his hand to his jaw as he saw how the red fabric of your bikini top complimented your breasts as they were pushed together "ain't got no one Z." You shook your head as you brushed your tongue over your teeth flashing him a grin.
It didn't do too much for your confidence as the boy flirted with every girl that he could "think we need to change that then." Trevor sent you a wink that was only responded with a gag from Luke "ew." He grumbled throwing his arm around your shoulders as he pulled you in the direction of the house citing that his mom would probably want to see you.
Jack didn't take long to reach up to hit his friend "ow!" Trevor groaned as his hand massaged the sore part of his head "what the hell was that for?" He complained sending the younger boy a glare "you're disgusting." Jack's scrunched his nose as he shook his head.
The Ducks player smirked as he shook his head "you mad I realized she got hot or that I acted on it before you?" Trevor shot back as he rolled his eyes leaving the middle Hughes boy speechless "she is y/n that's all." Jack explained pushing past Trevor as he shook his head thinking about all the ways you had grown up.
He knew it was stupid but something was different about you this time. No longer did Jack see you as Kiara's sister, you were now y/n an entirely separate entity.
summer of 2022
It was a warm Michigan summer you had now gotten found yourself sat in your bed room as you got ready for your date. It wasn’t often that you found yourself in this position. Ethan convinced you to join him down at the country club for a round of golf as he had come along with Luke to the lake house for the summer.
You had felt good as you curled the ends of your hair letting the sounds of Avril Lavigne echo through your speaker as you’d occasionally turn your curling wand into a microphone “Jesus Christ!” You groaned almost dropping the hot tool on your carpet when you saw Jack sat on the tree by your window.
Physically it was possible for him to stay there was the previous owners of your two homes opted for a treehouse between your rooms. It hadn’t been used in years so you were honestly surprised that it still worked “what are you doing here?” You groaned opening your window so he could come into your room.
Jack felt bile travel his his throat as he saw the pastel mini skirt you wore with your blue polo “don’t go on that date.” Jack blurted out as he didn’t know how much time he would have to convince you to ditch the Canadian boy.
It made you curse yourself as part of you was genuinely actually considering doing what he asked "why Jack?" Your arms crossed unintentionally pushing your breasts up "because I think you can do better than him!" Jack argued shutting your window as the sounds of Trevor and Quinn bickering about something traveled up the walls of the house.
The obvious roll of your eyes was your version of being in full disbelief "you wanna show them to me?" You motioned to the floor in front of you giving him the space to show you "I'm right in front of you!" Jack shot back with an accusatory tone as he pointed to himself.
Part of you thought you were dreaming but the way he offered himself up had you recoiling from disappointment "you're being mean." You shook your head as you turned your attention back to your closet as you looked for your socks "how am I being mean?" Jack shook his head honestly regretting even coming over to you.
The socks stopped your hand from letting your nails dig into your palms "why can't you just be happy for me?" Your voice was soft as you stared at him through your mirror as you waited for his answer "I think you deserve more." He repeated his words as you scoffed.
Your hand raked through your hair as you sucked at your teeth "you don't get to decide things for me Jack!" Your throat felt raw as you mentally told yourself that you couldn't let yourself cry "not when I have spent my entire life loving you!" You had turned angry and almost a little hurt by his timing.
Jack's eyes widened at your outburst "shouldn't be surprised you didn't know with how you were so far shoved up Kiara's ass." An unamused laugh left your lips as you shook your head "you should go Jack." When there was a knock on the door downstairs you knew it was Ethan.
The middle Hughes boy frowned as he shook his head "don't do this-" his voice was softer when his hand reached out to yours. As you heard the door once more "I'm coming!" You yelled as you opened the window "go home Jack." You knocked your head down to the side.
You sucked your cheek as you frowned "wait Jack." Your words stopped him giving him what felt like the light at the end of the tunnel that he so desperately wanted "yeah?" He smiled as he looked down at you not realizing how close you were to him "do I look okay?"
The question felt like a punch to his gut "you look beautiful, you are beautiful." He brought his hand up to cup your cheek but you were quick to push it away "you should go." You sounded as though you were trying to convince yourself that it was the best option "bye y/n." Jack nodded going back to your window to let himself out the same way he got in.
As he listened climbing back to his room you contemplated again if that was even the right choice. But as he didn't dare to look back as thoughts ran through Jack's mind at a million miles a minute, he never knew he hurt you like that and he didn't know how to feel about it.
summer of 2023
It surprised Jack when your parents rolled up to their lake house without you in sight. Kiara and her boyfriend Max were there but you were still missing. Jack didn’t think he would notice it at first, sure your laughter could usually be heard from down the road, and the campfire kept on going until the early hours of the next morning when you finally decided that the stores you were making were not enough to keep you awake. He almost felt out of place as he would sit on the front porch each day patiently waiting for your Mini Cooper to show up.
Honestly, Jack was getting to the point where he was even ready to accept Ethan in that car with you, but the lack of your presence was beginning to drive him mad. Luke only began to notice last week when Jack kept your seat on the bench outside clear “she isn’t coming this year.” Luke figured that it was only right that he finally took Jack out of his misery.
But Jack didn’t feel better as his fingers gripped the arms of his chair "she decided to go to Miami with her friends for a girl's trip." Luke again decided to further put his brother out of his thoughts as he answered all of the questions about you "but what about him?” During all of the previous breaks you weren’t shy to post about your relationship with Ethan.
Every trip to Michigan dump that you seemed to take whenever you could leave Boston had Jack over analysing each individual detail that came from the inevitable picture of your date nights and on top of that you being at the Yost “y/n broke up with him just before finals.” Jack swore he could have hit Luke for not revealing this news to him earlier “something about the distance.” Luke mumbled on not noticing that Jack had gotten up as he made his way back inside.
Jack didn’t bother responding to the calls about where he was going as he ran up the stairs desperate to get his phone from his bedside table. The hockey player almost collided into his bed as he found your contact comfortably sat on an untouched message after you congratulated him on making the playoffs. He wasn’t an ass who left you on read, he just called you instead.
Jacky Hughes 😎: how’s Miami?
The notification made you smile “yeah I’ll be out in a sec!” You called out instantly swiping up as you sat on the couch ignoring how you still had a crush on him.
Y/n 😝: it’s been good
Y/n 😝: is that really what you wanted to ask me about?
Jack rolled his eyes as he smiled, you knew him too well.
Jacky Hughes 😎: heard about Ethan 😕
Even with that you felt foolish for thinking that there was something else that spurred his decisions to contact you. Ethan had helped you be okay with the idea of just being friends with Jack. But becoming a single woman again you found that idea fall apart.
Y/n 😝: just wasn’t meant to be 🤷🏻‍♀️
Jacky Hughes 😎: missing ya here
It made you squeal as you placed your hand on your mouth seeing him say that “be cool, y/n be cool.” You spoke to yourself as you chewed at your lip.
Y/n 😝: thought I’d be getting a message like that from Z
Jacky Hughes 😎: he’s still mad you for dating Ethan
A laugh left your lips as it was an ongoing joke that you both started after Trevor admitted to him that he was surprised that you were dating the college boy.
Y/n 😝: booo
Jacky Hughes 😎: you coming to any games next season?
Y/n 😝: I don't have a devs jersey here
You weren't lying, you only had Jack's devs jersey and you weren't going to bring something like that to Boston with you as you went to college.
Jacky Hughes 😎: could make some things happen
Jack threw the bait out and just waited for you to say what he wanted to see. He couldn't help but feel his hands grow a bit shaky as he watched the three little speech bubbles appear as you typed the message
Y/n 😝: always liked watching boston play
A scoff left his lips as he shook his head knowing that you were simply screwing with him "since when is she dangerous." he shook his head as he thought out his next message.
Jacky Hughes 😎: will make it worth your while
Y/n 😝: will you now?
Jacky Hughes 😎: you have my word squirt
You groaned seeing your childhood nickname that Quinn came up with "that dick." You grumbled going to type anther message as the front dooor to the air bnb opened "y/n c'mon!" One of your friends groaned seeing you still sat on the couch.
Jack frowned seeing no response from you opting for his next move.
Jacky Hughes 😎: i'm sorry I made you feel unnoticed
As you got up you noticed the message and you couldn't help but smile quickly opting for a response before you followed your friends out.
Y/n 😝: wasn't your fault
winter of 2023
Jack had learned how simple it was to make an effort with you all of a sudden as after that morning he made sure to keep in contact with you. The change was something you welcomed as you were reminded of all of the little things that had you falling for him.
Now he stood at the door of your apartment feeling nauseous with the Hughes jersey in his hand and the message from his mom reminding him to not fuck this up as she attached your address to it. A collective fear was held by everyone, not because they thought that Jack would fuck up, but because they knew your delicate heart truly wouldn't have survived if he didn't protect it.
Three steady knocks hit your door "coming!" You called out as there was now nothing more that Jack could do as he also couldn't run "hi." Your eyes went wide as you looked up at him "cute hair." Jack smirked as he saw the pink rollers that were in your hair.
It made you blush as you opened your door letting him in "what are you doing here?" You furrowed your eyebrows as you saw the jersey in his hands "thought you would need this tonight." A smile formed on his lips as he handed it to you. You weren't stupid, you knew that it was laced with his cologne and you were horrible at hiding the smirk on your face when his familiar scent captured your nostrils "Interesting smell." You teased running your fingers over the A badge that sat on the upper chest "had to make sure those Boston boys weren't gonna try anything." His point was true as he felt his face turn to a scowl at the thought.
A sigh left your lips as you placed the jersey on your counter "you didn't have to bring it to me." The point was something he knew as he also did agree with you, he didn't have to do it but he wanted to. Jack nodded as he reached out to grab your hand "but I wanted to." The boy argued back as his reasons for being there were selfish, Jack wanted to see you.
He could sense your hesitancy as you glared at him "Jack you have never done anything just because you wanted to." You reminded him about the fact that you knew him oftentimes better than he knew himself "okay I wanted to see you!" It wasn't often that Jack got you to shut up but in this moment he wanted you to be anything but silent.
You chewed at your lip before you let out a laugh "don't say things you don't mean." The response came off sharp as Jack never actively wanted to see you, if that had been the case this wouldn't have been the first time that he showed up at your apartment.
Jack frowned deciding to choose his words wisely "why do you find it so crazy to believe that I might actually be in love with you!" His fingers tugged through his hair as the color drained from your face feeling your ears begin to ring "I can't give you what you want." Kiara had always been the wild child within your family who lived for travel, you wanted to become successful and then become and wife and a mother. Those were two freakishly different dreams for life.
The boy smiled "you want someone who you can hide behind when you watch the saw movies because even if they scare you because you love to say you've watched them all." You had a strange obsession with the collection but you hadn't made it through more than half of the games mentioned within them.
He stepped closer as you sat on the counter in response to his movements "you want someone who is going to not only drive you to dairy queen at three a.m. but will also be the one to say lets go there." His words made you laugh as there had been multiple occasions where Jack would end up calling you when he realised that you were missing only to learn that you walking to the Dairy Queen up the road.
His hands cupped your cheeks “you want someone who isn’t only your partner but your friend and your confidant.” Your heart throbbed as you nodded “and you deserve someone who reaches for the stars just to give them to you.” What finally came to your realisation was that Jack always cared for you, but whilst he saw you as just Luke’s friend he couldn’t let himself fall in love with you. But whether you wanted to admit that it was you growing up or him no longer being enamoured by Kiara, Jack didn’t just like you. He loved you, but better yet he was in love with you.
It made your mouth go dry as you stared at him almost in awe of the fact that this wasn’t a dream, it was your reality “you’d really be a dick if you weren’t being serious right now.” You mumbled letting your fingers grip at his shirt as he smiled “I’m as serious as a heart attack squirt.” His nickname that he came up with for you when you were seven and deathly afraid of water guns (you didn’t trust the boys on where that water had been). You were brought back to the time Jack hid with you behind a table as you got caught up in the Hughes boy water gun fight.
A grin formed on your lips as his thumb soothed the redness that formed on your cheeks “give me a chance and I promise I won’t fuck this up.” Jack was being honest as he hoped you would see it that way “okay.” You nodded watching his eyes sparkle much like yours did in that moment.
It was strange how you could both see your futures flash in front of you, from rings to babies, and make ups to make outs. The highs came with the lows but he was in all of them “can I kiss you or is that-” you cut Jack off from the start of his panic when you kissed him.
His hands softened on your cheeks as his tongue swiped across your lips picking up the taste of your cherry lip oil “was that too much?” The point came when you needed air as you pulled away from the boy who tugged your hair through his finger tips.
Jack's laugh echoed through your ears as he brought his lips down to yours once more “it was perfect, you’re perfect.” He shook his head as there wasn’t a place he would rather been.

I don't like Amy and I don't like her ending up with Laurie guy. I mean, they're not really in love, she's just a replacement. But this is not a sassy thing, can I ask what you like about her/them? I see you talk a very lot about her/them and I'm a curious man!!!!!!!!!
Am I being annoying or a burden if I ask you to let me see your point? Maybe I just must look at things on another pov.
I'm anonymous cause you could think ew, a man liking Little Women concept...
Hey!!!!! I actually recognize my own way of thinking here, not when it comes to your opinion on the matter, but the approach taken. I tend to consider all the options before "closing the case" too so the answer is no. You are definitely not being annoying! And before I start rambling, I need to address the last paragraph of your ask aka 🧙‍♀️I NEED TO YELL AT YOU🧙‍♀️!!!!!! Because!!!!! Little Women is a lot about gender and how it's perceived, I spend most of my time here talking (💫screaming💫) about that particular aspect of the story hence there's no reason at all to judge you or anything like that? In case you're saying that in wish to manipulate me into liking you despite disagreeing with your initial statement: smart move.
If you know anything about my blog you'd know that I'm not that attached to the romance of shipping. I appreciate the beauty of a fictional dynamic regardless of the label anybody might put on it. The concepts of endgame and shipping in a classic sense are pretty irrelevant to me, I just need "my ships" to be a hundred bus stops away from boring and I'm hooked. That's how I feel about Amy and Laurie, I just don't care about romance of it that much. What does fascinate me about their relationship is how perfectly balanced it is? I always say that Jo, Amy and Laurie, at their centre, are incredibly similar people who aren't too fond of... well, being similar to each other. (which has a lot to do with the ambitious streak each of them has, though it manifests in a different way with all of them) Jo and Laurie shared similarities that led them to finding comfort and understanding in another human being which is such a big and important thing that meant an insane amount to both of them in an otherwise much darker adolescence. Jo and Amy share similarities that make them clash and Amy and Laurie... they aren't afraid to call each other out on their nonsense and are just as ready to point out the other's strong suits. They inspired each other!!!! Like... look at how open this conversation is:
Tumblr media
Amy doesn't want the facade Laurie puts up for the world, she wants Laurie as chaotic and messy as he is! They've both seen the raw, unfiltered version of the other and loved each other in the face of all that messiness + both changed for the better. That's love! It also helps that they're such hopeless romantics at heart which allows them to be all extravagant and bubbly about it and not feel like they're "too much". (look at this they are. so gross.) As for Amy, I LOVE her. The funny bit with Jo is, she thinks she's a realist but she's actually a cynic, while Amy understands and sees the world for what it is (Jo is more focused on what it could be and what it isn't), faults and all and loves it. Here are some posts and writings I posted that express my thoughts on Amy more clearly because I think I'll lose my train of thought if I go any further with this:
Jo March & Amy March parallels
Amy March & Rory Gilmore parallels + magic from my side blog (I think this really captures the central reason why I gravitate towards this character trope (Rory Gilmore, Amy March and Lisa Cuddy come to mind immediately)"the world is hard on ambitious girls" summarises it quite well, to quote Amy herself)
my writing that's more of an analysis than a fanfic:
quick to see and feel beauty of any kind (a little exploration of Amy/Laurie, Amy centric with flickers of Jo/Laurie and Amy/Laurie, it's how Laurie's hopeful and dream-like notions inspire Amy's more grounded ones and vice versa)
flickers of light (in which I tackle Amy's artistic struggles in detail)

Hyde: Does it bother anybody else that these women live in Hooterville?
Eric: Technically, Petticoat Junction is down the track from Hooterville.
Hyde: Okay, does it bother anybody else that these women live down the track from Hooterville?
Donna: It bothers me that they bathe in the town water tank.
Kelso: With the dog.
Jackie: It isn't the drinking water, it is the water for the train.
Donna: It's still three naked women with a dog.
Fez: I want to be the Hooterville dog.
Jackie: Ames, you're awfully quiet. Are you okay?
Amy: Yeah, I was just trying to understand the context of this... scene, then I gave up and spaced out.
Kitty: Coming down... now, don't mind me. I'm just putting some clothes in. Eric, honey, I thought you could wear this on your birthday. It's nice, you look so handsome in it.
Eric: Why would I want to dress nice on my birthday?
Kelso: It's your birthday?
Amy: You don't know when his birthday is?
Kitty: Oh, you never know what's going to happen on your birthday!
Eric: Mom... mom, do not throw a party for me.
Kitty: Oh well, listen to Mr. Popularity. Like I have time to plan you a party. [laughs] Oh, uh... by the way, your sister Laurie is coming home from college for the weekend. No special reason, she just is. [goes upstairs]
Donna: Well, you're getting a party and best of all... it's a surprise!
Amy, to Eric: Your mom sucks at keeping secrets, but she's lovely. You should stop being an ungrateful idiot and appreciate the effort she's putting into this party.

Amy: So...
Donna: What?
Jackie: What are you gonna get Eric for his birthday?

Donna: I'm not gonna talk to you two about this.
Amy and Jackie, at the same time: And who are you gonna talk to?
Amy and Jackie, to each other: Nice!
Donna, watching the boys play in the driveway: Okay! We get home from the Rundgren concert, and I'm sitting in the hood of the car, and I kissed him...
Jackie: French or American?
Amy: Even though everyone knows Brazilians are the best kissers...
Donna: I can't believe I'm talking to you two about this... [looks out of the window and sees them playing again] Okay! So, I lived next door to Eric my entire life and we talk about everything together, we love the same music, we love the Packers and then I kissed him and everything changed. And now I don't know if he's my boyfriend or if he's my best friend. If he's my boyfriend I lose my best friend, If I screw it up I lose my best friend and my boyfriend. Now, I have to give him his gift...
Jackie: Donna, Donna! I solved it. Get him... a scented candle.
Amy: Oh yeah, good idea.
Donna: A scented candle?
Jackie: It's practical and romantic.
Amy and Jackie: Oh, yeah.

Kitty, laughing: Oh honey, that's very kind of you. But wouldn't you rather spend time with the girls?
Amy: Uh... Jackie went to the mall with Donna to help her find a gift for Eric and I'm... kinda avoiding the mall.*
Kitty, understanding what she meant by that: In that case, I'd appreciate your help. Now, what do you know about American birthday parties?
Amy: Nothing really, but I know a lot about Brazilian birthday parties. See, there's a very popular candy on birthdays called brigadeiro. I can teach you the recipe.**
Kitty: Well, doesn't that sound fancy?

Amy: Open mine now.
Eric, opening the present: More cassettes? Wow, thanks, Amy.

Kitty: Ooh, let's put them in the 8-track and play them.

Eric: Hey... it's a hot shave dispenser.
Kitty: Oh, he won't need that for a long time... a long, long time.

Donna: Jackie, you didn't even bring a purse... [sighs and points at Amy] And you have your jacket on.
Amy: Like I said, that's not the point!
Jackie: Duh! You can't give him your present in front of his guy friends.
Donna: I am one of his guy friends.
Amy: But you want to be his girlfriend!
Jackie: Look, Donna. I have put a lot of thought into this gift, please do not wreck this for me.
Donna, sarcastically: I'm sorry, I was being selfish.
Jackie, hugging her: It's okay...
Amy: Jackie, she was being sarcastic.
Jackie, gasping: How rude.
Amy, rolling her eyes: You know what? Go ahead, Donna. Give him a romantic gift in front of his friends, who are a bunch of assholes by the way, and his parents. He'll be embarrassed, you'll be embarrassed and it's more entertaining for us!
Donna: How come you're always right?
Amy: It's a talent of mine, you'll get used to it.

*the Pinciotti's kitchen*
Bob: Three fours, I need them.
Midge: Bob is very good at Yahtzee.
Kitty, gasping: The liquor cabinet!
Red: It's locked.
Kitty: What if there's an emergency?
Red: They'll call.
Kitty: What if they run out of chips?
Red: They'll starve.
Bob, standing up: I'm gonna fix myself a drink. Red?
Red: No... Kitty needs one.
Kitty: Well, I am just so worried– [motorcycle noise] Oh my lord, Laurie's leaving.
Red: Oh honey, she's in college. She doesn't wanna hang around with them.
Kitty: Well, maybe I should make a call, just in case–
Red, reaching for the phone before her: Kitty... what could happen?
Kitty: What could happen? [pause] Well, plenty could happen. Oh, plenty!

*fantasy sequence, Forman's living room*
Donna: Now that the adults are gone, we can be as bad as we want!
Jackie: Who wants to give Eric a venereal disease?!
Kelso: Hey, look... coasters!
Hyde: Forget coasters!
Eric: Please fellas, my mom put out coasters for a reason...
Hyde: I think I'm gonna put my drink directly on the furniture, that way it will leave a ring!
Eric: NOOO! Why oh why didn't I begged my mother to stay?
Amy: Oh shut up gringo, have some of my country's exotic food while we listen to samba!
Fez: Quiet you silly Americans, I'm on a long-distance call on your parent's phone.
Eric: But that's immoral.
Fez: Ha, in my country of... wherever it is I am from, I can never tell... morals get in the of a good, dirty time. But first, I need to eat some chips... What? Out of chips? Now I am mad, I must shoot something! [pulls out the gun]
Eric: Not the littlest hobo!

*Forman's kitchen*
Jackie: Wait on the porch, and I'll get Eric.
Donna: It's dark out there.
Jackie: And you're giving him a candle, yeah?!
Amy, shaking her head: Poor Donna, so young and naive.
Jackie: Here, matches.
Donna: He might not want to light it.
Jackie: Don't say that...
Amy: Don't even think it!
Jackie: Now, when he opens it, he'll say cool... or something. And then, you give him a look... like this. [demonstrates]
Amy: Oh no, honey. Don't do that, it won't shine on you. [to Jackie] Jackie, it's Donna, the same girl who wanted to give Eric his gift in front of everybody.
Donna: I'm right here.
Jackie, shaking her head along with Amy: She's right though, don't do that.

*living room*
Fez: So, what did you get from Donna?
Eric: Nothing yet.
Kelso: Oh... maybe it's the big gift. You know the really big gift. You guys... know what I'm saying when I say the big gift, right?
Hyde: Yeah, we got it... and we got it.
Fez: I'm not even from here and I got it.
*Amy and Jackie come into the living room*
Jackie: Oh Eric... Donna's on the porch.
Amy: She's waiting for you.
Kelso: He's getting the big gift!

*Amy, Jackie, Fez, Hyde, and Kelso are spying on Eric and Donna*
Jackie: This is it, he's going for it.
Kelso: Uh-huh, it's his birthday, she should kiss him first.
Jackie: She did the last time.
Fez, Hyde, and Kelso: What?
Amy: Shut up, Jackie.
Jackie: Nothing... shut up and watch.
Hyde: Come on Forman, go for it.
Eric, from outside: The door is open, we can hear you... We can see you!
*everyone hides*
Fez: Is he kissing her?
Hyde: None of us can see them, Fez.
Fez: Eric, are you kissing her?
Amy: Since you can hear me... Donna, I told you not to give him the look, it doesn't shine on you.
*Donna closes the sliding door*
