the gang was in the basement watching tv quietly since red was sitting with them.

"so, how's it going?" kitty asked walking in with a box.

"real good. the foreign kid just ate something off the floor." red replied.

"okay. well, um... your father's gonna drive me to work." kitty told them.

"that's right, and if you do anything wrong, i'll know, because one of you is a snitch. you just think about that while i'm gone." red said.

"well, they're not gonna do anything wrong, because i brought a box of activities to occupy their time. so, um, be good and have fun. do crafts, not drugs." kitty said.

"ooh, a model airplane and glue." fez said before red took the glue away from him.

after red and kitty left, everyone except for fez went to the hub.

eric and hyde were gonna be in trouble if red found out because he grounded them.

once they got back, jackie, fez, hyde and isabella were in the basement.

they were on edge since red didn't want them being there while eric and hyde were being punished.

"you know, steven, this hatred thing you have for me is just you protecting yourself." jackie told him.

"okay." hyde replied.

"this again, really?" isabella said.

"it's true. you're afraid to reach the peaks of love for fear of being dropped off a cliff. well, i'm your safety line, steven, so grab me." jackie said putting her hand on his thigh.

"go grab yourself, freak." hyde replied.

"okay, bed check! here we come!" kitty shouted from upstairs.

fez, jackie and isabella ran into hydes room as fast as they could.

"kitty, you're warning him!" red told her.

"i'm not warning anybody. getting closer!" kitty said as the two got downstairs.

"okay, um... we just... we wanted to say goodnight and, um, that you're a good boy, and even though you do some things that we don't like, we still love you." kitty told him.

"and i'm watching you." red said.

"and i'm cherishing you." kitty told him.

kitty and red went upstairs and fez moved into the doorway.

"oh, no, girls. they're still out there. what was that? oh, and they want our pants." fez said making isabella hit him.

the gang plus laurie, sunk out of the house and tried pushing the vista cruiser.

"it's red! run for it!" kelso said before running.

"freeze!" red said.

"daddy, thank god you came! they were kidnapping me!" laurie said.

"oh, shut up! that's it. i have had it. you know what this means? more discipline." red said.

"no. no." kitty said.

"oh, yes. playtime is over." red said.

"oh, stop saying that. your cracking down is not working." kitty said.

"hell, i could have told him that a week ago." eric said.

"now is not the time to be a porky mouth. red, i want my house back." kitty said.

"i once had an ant farm-" fez began.

"oh, honey, no. not now. okay. okay. here's what we're gonna do. you are going to remember that he's a good son, and you are going to remember that he's a good father, because i am not happy with the way this house is running." kitty said.

"hah! now you see what you've done? you've made your mother unhappy." red told eric.

"no, he didn't. i'm not happy with everything. i'm not happy with windows being nailed shut, and i'm not happy with people sneaking around, and i'm not happy with my christmas bells on the front door." kitty told him.

"well, kitty, what do you want me to do? pretend that nothing happened?" red asked her.

"yes." kitty replied.

"no!" red said.

"fine! then that's it. then i'm staying home. i'm staying home full time. and i am taking back my house, and that's the way it is. now, you get upstairs and take those nails out of the windows and you, stop being such a sneaky smart mouth and you... honey! you've got to stop eating stuff off the floor. now, everyone, let's go back to happy!" kitty said laughing before going back inside.

"so, i guess playtime is over." eric said making red glare at him.

"jesus, eric." isabella mumbled.

"i'm sorry, dad." eric said.

-

isabella was sitting at dinner with her parents. isabella was talking to her parents about going to the movies with fez and hyde.

"isn't hyde on probation?" bryan said as isabella kicked him under the table.

"ow!" bryan said.

"isabella, you are not hanging out with a boy who's on probation." mary said.

"mom, it wasn't his fault, okay? jackie got some drugs and hyde took the fall for it so she didn't have to go to jail." isabella said defending him.

"fine, but if we hear of another incident like this you'll be forbidden from hanging out with that boy." david said as bryan smirked.

"what are you looking at? should've you be off with laurie so she can cheat on kelso." isabella snapped back making bryan glare at her.

"bryan, we've talked about this." david said.

"i know, dad. i don't know why she said that." bryan said as isabella rolled her eyes.

isabella didn't go to eric's after that because she was so angry with her parents. she didn't want to bring her friends down because she was in a bad mood.

-

isabella was sitting beside donna and jackie on the couch.

the gang was watching a marathon of hitchcock movies.

"boo!" fez said making kelso spill his drink on himself.

"damn it, fez! oh! damn, fez!" kelso said seeing fez was wearing woman's clothes.

"you look like a stripper." isabella told him.

"fez, what the hell are you doing?" donna asked him.

"i don't know if you know this, but you're dressed like a girl... and not a nice girl." kelso told him before walking away.

"kelso, you spilled juice all over your shirt. you look stupid." fez said pulling up his tights.

"he said while pulling up his stockings." isabella said making hyde and donna laugh.

"yeah, hey, kelso, while you're over there, would you please, please toss fez a pair of pants?" eric said.

"or at least a skirt." donna said.

"no, i am dr. frank n furter from the rocky horror picture show. you know, my bible thumping host parents were really upset about my rock hard ass." fez said shaking his butt in front of jackie.

"i can't imagine why." isabella said sarcastically.

"fez, put it away or take it outside. so, eric, so you want to get out of here, do something fun for halloween?" donna asked her boyfriend.

"i do!" fez said.

"i've got to go to this stupid halloween party with laurie's stupid friends. not only do i have to wear a suit, but all of her guy friends act like they've done it with her before." kelso said.

"uh, kelso..." eric trailed off.

"leave it." hyde said.

"okay. whatever. there's nothing to do. it's like we're too old to trick or treat, and too young to die." eric said.

"oh, hey, we could take fez to chicago and peddle his ass for beer." hyde said.

"i'm game." fez replied.

"no. eric, i meant maybe there's something, you know, we could do... together." donna said.

"i doubt it." eric said with a snort.

"oh! that is a burn!" kelso said.

"wait. what?" donna asked angrily.

"he's screwed." isabella said to hyde as he grinned.

"no. i... no, i didn't mean it like that." eric told her.

"nope. sorry, eric. that was a burn. and what's burnt is burnt. and what's burnt is donna." jackie said.

"oh, so we're out of fun things to do? you're already bored of your girlfriend?" donna asked him.

"no. i meant this town, not you, pretty lady." eric said chuckling nervously.

"you know what would be fun? is if we were in an alfred hitchcock movie right now, and we didn't know it, and then someone told us, and we were like, oh, man, i'm in a movie!" kelso said.

"yeah, okay. i'm out of here." donna said going to the exit.

"wait. but i thought we were-" eric started.

"get bent!" donna shouted.

"okay, i'll do that." eric said before donna left.

"you know what will cheer you up? a little trick or treating. hello? stop bouncing that damn ball and let's do something." fez said.

"yeah, you know, i can't, fez, cause i can't even look at you. i don't know whether to throw you out or throw you down and make sweet love to you." eric joked.

"you know, that says more about you than it does him." hyde told eric.

"he's kind of right, eric." isabella told her best friend.

"well, i'm not the one dressed like a damn girl." eric said bouncing his ball.

"but the damn girl has your ball." fez said before running away.

"like i care about a... man that's my ball." eric said running after fez outside.

"hey, you guys. you wanna go outside and watch eric and fez run around? someone might get hurt. it's funny when people get hurt." kelso said.

"especially when they're in their underwear." hyde said.

"that's great." kelso replied.

"the only person dumb enough to get hurt around here is you." jackie said looking at kelso.

"oh, boy." isabella said.

"okay, jackie, i'm really starting to get sick... ow!" kelso said after scratching his fingers against the opening of his soda can.

"that's great." hyde said.
