The Formans were sitting at the table, eating breakfast.

"So Laurie's almost all packed," Kitty said.

"I can't believe my little girl is moving out," Red said nervously.

"I'm still here," Lucy said awkwardly.

"When are you leaving?" Red asked turning to Eric.

"Never," Eric said slamming the table, "Because I love it here!" he said sarcastically.

"Right," Red sighed. "Kitty do you really think this is a good idea? I mean, it might be a little soon for her to be on her own."

"Red she's gonna be fine," Kitty reassured him. "She's gonna split rent with a girlfriend."

"She doesn't even have a job!" Red exclaimed.

"Well she's gonna get a job!" Kitty said.

"Oh that reminds me, can I get her room?" Eric asked.

"No I already gave it to Steven," Red said.

"But I'm your son...Daddy," Eric said trying to get the room.

"Don't be a suckup, it doesn't work for you," Lucy shook her head.

❁

Lucy sat in the living room watching tv with Jackie.

"Hey, Kelso, look who's here! It's Jackie and the brat" Hyde said. "Hi Jackie! Hey brat!"

"Hey asshole!" Lucy said snarkily, still watching tv.

"God, Laurie I can't believe you're moving!" Jackie said standing up. "I know we didn't spend much time together, but I think some of my good taste was rubbing off on you! And I'm so happy for that!"

"Thanks Jackie! I'm gonna miss you too!" Laurie said hugging Jackie.

Laurie pulled Lucy up, "Ah, my whore sister is moving out! You're all grown up!" Lucy said lovingly.

Laurie pulled Lucy into a hug, "My little bitchy sister! You're like the one good thing about this place!"

Laurie picked up a box from the couch, "Oh Kelso, I almost forgot, I found a shirt of yours when I was cleaning out my room," Laurie threw a tshirt at Kelso before walking to the kitchen with Lucy both carrying boxes.

"You know, I can support most of your conniving stunts and I don't mind you sleeping with Kelso, but you're really gonna hurt Jackie," Lucy said.

"Don't worry sis, I'm done with him. He was just a little toy I had fun with," Laurie smirked as she put a box in the car.

"Okay, but the point being, you already did it. Jackie can still find out about it," Lucy explained.

Laurie laughed, "Kelso may be stupid but I don't think he's stupid enough to give himself up."

"God, how did we turn out so different?" Lucy asked.

"Not so different it seems, I heard about Hyde," Laurie smirked.

"What about him?" Lucy tilted her head confused.

"How you used him to learn how to kiss, not a bad way to manipulate him to kiss you," Laurie nodded impressed.

"I wasn't manipulating him and gosh don't bring it up, it was a mistake he's so annoying," Lucy sighed.

"Oh no, I have a big date, whatever shall I do," Laurie mocked Lucy. "Come on sis it's a compliment. You used him and you dropped him."

"Yeah, I guess maybe I did," Lucy said, not feeling comfortable with the fact. "No but he's a tool—he was trying to hold it over my head and told everyone about it."

"Eh, that's men," Laurie shrugged.

❁

Lucy sat on Laurie's bed—which was now Hyde's while Hyde brought his few things in. Lucy had taken out some of the things Hyde had organized in drawers and inspecting them.

"You're new room is very pretty," Fez noted as he walked around the room. "Like a flower or a girl like Lucy. You know people might see this room and think you are the gay."

"I don't think so Fez," Hyde shook his head.

"Aw Fezzie thinks I'm pretty," Lucy smiled, hugging a pillow. "See Fez knows how to be nice," Lucy said to Hyde.

"Calm down doll, we all know you're gorgeous," Hyde said annoyed, going through drawers. "Now get out of my room," he smiled cheekily.

Lucy got up and rolled her eyes, "This is my house!"

Lucy went into Eric's room and plopped on the bed, "Your friend is an asswipe."

"Hey you kissed him not me," Eric shrugged.

"See, but you wouldn't have known that if he didn't tell you!" Lucy threw her hands in the air.

"So you two are really gonna continue with this whole We hate eachother thing?" Eric asked.

"Well we did before, honestly can't remember why we stopped hating eachother."

"Hmm maybe because you guys grew up! And you just need to grow up again because it's getting old!" Eric said casually.

"You're supposed to have my side on this!" Lucy said sitting up.

"And I do! But I also realize you're also being an idiot," Eric said.

Lucy sneered, "Really? How so?"

"You honestly think you ever hated him?" Eric asked.

"Yes! Do I need to tell you why? He insulted The Beatles, he named me after a drug, he cut my hair in first grade, he used to go in my room without my permission—" Lucy began ticking off her fingers.

"You don't hate him," Eric laughed.

Lucy looked around bewildered, "Yes I do!" she laughed.

"Lucy, you had brought an extra sandwich with you since first grade so he wouldn't have to go through the line to see his mom. Remember the first girl he brought a flower to? When she laughed in his face you went up and bitchslapped her!"

Lucy furrowed her eyebrows, "Well I was just—"

"Not hating him," Eric smiled knowingly.

"Oh shut up or I'll smack the smile off your face!" Lucy laughed as she threw a pillow at him.

Eric caught the pillow, "Look, Luce, you're my twin, I know you. You don't hate him."

Lucy bit the inside of her cheek, "I do not like Steven Hyde."

"Whatever you say!" Eric held his hands up in surrender.

❁

Red dragged Lucy and Eric to Laurie's new apartment.

"Look at this she found a place in a nice neighborhood!" Red beamed.

"Ain't she something," Eric said sarcastically.

Red knocked on the door, "Well I hope she hasn't had breakfast yet. Or a fire."

Lucy held up a smoke detector.

The door was opened by a man in boxers and a tshirt. "Can I help you?"

"No we got the wrong apartment I guess sorry," Red explained.

"Not a problem!" The man said, shutting the door.

"No, wait is Laurie there?" Eric asked.

"Uh yeah, hold on a second. Honey!" The man called to the living room.

The twins looked at one another nervously. Laurie walked to the door in a robe with a toothbrush that fell out of her mouth, "Oh hi Daddy!"

Red stormed off and Eric laughed walking away. Lucy looked to Laurie and the man and gave Laurie an impressed smiled, handing the man the smoke detector before walking away.

❁

The next night Laurie came over for dinner. Everyone sat awkwardly at the dining room table.

"Well I'm glad we're all eating dinner together as a family," Kitty said.

"Yeah it's nice, especially since Laurie could make it from all the way across town, where she lives with some guy in sin," Eric said cheekily.

"Are you ever going to hit puberty?" Laurie asked.

"Ow but what's really sad is that you got no respect for yourself or this family," Eric said.

"Daddy!" Laurie yelled in protest.

"Well he's not wrong, see Lucy here would never do anything like that!" Red said.

"Oh my God," Lucy whispered, "Am I the new favorite?"

"It appears so," Hyde leaned over to whisper.

"Red!" Kitty chastised.

"Well Kitty, who's gonna buy the cow when they get the milk for free?" Red asked.

Eric and Lucy exchanged a sad glance, Laurie was nothing if she wasn't the favorite.

"Daddy, it could be way worse. She could be living with multiple guys! Besides, it's the '70s a girl can live how she pleases," Lucy spoke up.

"What are you going on about?" Red asked.

"We think you're being hard on her," Eric explained.

"Well that's nice, but right now I'm too angry to pretend to give a crap about what either of you think!" Red yelled storming out.

"These are great potatoes Mrs. Forman," Hyde nodded.

"Thanks guys," Laurie said meekly to the twins.

"Yeah sure," Eric shrugged.

Lucy smiled sympathetically, "It's what siblings are for."

Kitty clapped her hands together, "Ok, why don't you three take your plates in and watch some McMillan & Wife."

"You know just once today, I'd like to finish a meal without getting chased out of the room," Eric said thoughtfully.

The three stood up, leaving Laurie and Kitty at the table. "Do you ever stop being sarcastic?" Lucy asked.

"Do you ever stop being annoying?" Eric retorted.

"Ooh good one," Lucy joked.
