Say It Ain't So

[isaid_goodday]

*bursts into the door of the basement, very upset*

Oh my goodness... guys... I was at the Hub, trying to-- I mean, picking up on girls-- and I overheard Pam Macy talking to her friends.

She said...

*gasps*

Ay, me. She said that Eric and Donna have broken up!

This cannot be!

*clasps hands and looks up to the heavens*

Dear God, it cannot be!

*bursts through the door, excited*

Ohmygod! You'll never guess what I heard about Eric and Donna! ...Oh... hey, Eric.

*sits down and tries to act nonchalant*

[isaid_goodday]

*grabs Eric by the shirt*

What in the hell are you thinking, fool? You can't break up with Donna! That's like giving up breathing, or eating, or pleasuring yourself!

*frowns at Fez and sits down next to Kelso*

Fine. You guys just go ahead, make fun of me, and talk away about that rumor. Because I'm NOT going anywhere. ANYWHERE. You'll have to MAKE me.

Oh. And HI KELSO!!!!!!!!!

[itrunsonwater]

*glances at Caroline, then at the others*

Okay, Kelso, Fez and Forman are closer along the line of sight. I think I'm okay.

*turns his attention back to Eric*

Forman, what our little buddy is trying to say-- and what our bigger little buddy almost blabbed-- was that there's a rumor going around that Donna finally wised up and cut your scrawny ass loose.

Did everyone just ignore me when I asked where Donna was? Hello!

*gets up off the folding chair and walks over to sit in Steven's lap... far away from Caroline*

Yeah, Eric. I mean, we wouldn't be surprised if it happened. We'd just be surprised if it happened and I wasn't the one to tell everyone.

*stares at Fez then turns to Hyde*

No! What? No! Donna and I didn't break up! That's crazy talk! Donna and I are fine - we're great! We're better than great! ...We're Luke and Leia, man! Yeah, that's right, I said it!

[isaid_goodday]

Really? But Pam Macy sounded so sure you had broken up! I had a very good place underneath the bleachers to hear her and her friends talk.

It would be very unhappy.

[and_you_love_me]

SEE! *smacks Steven's arm* I told you guys that they didn't break up! Pam Macy is a big old lying slut. *rolls her eyes*

Wait... which means that if Michael knows about the rumor, then...

*eyes him*

Were you making out with Pam Macy again?!?

[comfrtably_dumb]

*looking disappointed* No! *smiles* I was making out with Carla Googin! Pam told her and she told me.

*turns to Eric* But... if you guys aren't broken up, why did Pam say that? 'Cause that's just mean! Getting my hopes u... I mean, getting my hope for you two crazy kids dashed!

[itrunsonwater]

Carla Googin? Are you serious? *shakes head* How the mighty have fallen.

*rubs his arm* Waitaminute, Jackie-- you've been trying to get Donna to break up with Forman forever.

[crazyforloving]

FEZ. They're IGNORING ME.

You know what that means? It means NO SEX TONIGHT FOR YOU unless you do something about it!

*grumbles* Kelso didn't even say "hi" back.

[isaid_goodday]

There's no call for that, Caroline-- it seems there is a bit of a crisis going on, and the gang is all trying to help each other.

*glares at them* But now, I think they should consider helping out Fez in what is clearly now a time of need!

[and_you_love_me]

*ignores Fez and frowns at Steven*

I... I never would say something like that about my bestest friend, ever! Yeah, okay, fine. Whatever! The point is that I was right, and everyone else was wrong.

*rolls her eyes at Michael*

Steven's right. Carla??? Eww.

[itrunsonwater]

*raises a finger, about to argue with Jackie, but shakes his head instead* You know, I read once that a wise man picks his battles.

*looks from Jackie to Caroline, to Fez and frowns*

A piece of advice, Fez? Keep her happy. For all our sakes.

[skinny_neighbor]

Yeah, Kelso, I gotta second that sound of disgust. Carla is skanky even by your standards. But that's not important right now; what I wanna know is why Pam Macy is starting rumors about me and Donna breaking up.

*ponders for a few moments, then snaps fingers*

I got it! She wants me! *nods* I'm the one who got away! She's had all those other guys but she couldn't get me, so she started the rumor hoping that it'd actually make us break up, then she could swoop in and who am I kidding! *laughs and shakes head* Yeah, that's totally not the reason.

Thoughts, anyone?

[comfrtably_dumb]

*furrows brow in thought for a long while, then gets excited and raises arm, as if in class*

Ooh, ooh, I got it!

*the others wait*

"Kelso, we're not in school, you can just say it!" Eric finally exclaims.

Pam is after Donna! *the others just stare at him* Well, like Eric said, she obviously doesn't want him, because... *laughs* Come on! So, it's gotta be Donna! And even if it's not, I'm sticking with that idea. *gets faraway look and a huge grin*
