Headcanon Time!

At their wedding, Kelso smashes cake in Brooke's face, even though she has asked him not to. Brooke is pissed, and so is Jackie. For Brooke's sake, because Kelso is an idiot, and because she helped with Brooke's hair and makeup.

Jackie: See, Michael, this is why I broke up with you.

Hyde (putting his arm around Jackie): If I smashed cake in Jackie's face, she'd never forgive me.

Jackie: See? He's a real man, who respects his future wife's wishes.

Hyde (with a proud smirk): Yep.

Fictober Day 4: "no, we're not doing that"

That '70s Show Fanfiction

Kelso yanked a bundle of fireworks from a plastic box. He'd found it in the back of the living room closet, where Brooke had hidden it for years. Kelso didn't mind, though. She hadn't gotten rid of them, just banned them after Betsy was born.

He respected her decision, but Betsy was ten-years-old, and the Formans had invited them to a big Halloween bash. He had to do his part. They'd expect nothing less.

"No, we're not doing that," Brooke said from the sofa. Betsy was cuddled beneath Brooke's arm and kicking out her legs. She was a fidgeter like her dad.

"I haven't even said how I'd use 'em!"

"They're fireworks, Michael. That's enough."

Betsy gave her a look she usually saved for Kelso. "Mom, you're not giving him a chance, and you always say we should give people the benefit of the shout."

"Doubt, sweetheart." Brooke caressed the top of Betsy's head. She had long brown hair like her mom. Better yet, she had Brooke's brains. "Benefit of the doubt. Normally, you'd be right, but your dad has a ... history with fireworks."

"What kind of history?" Betsy said, and Brooke eyed Kelso like he needed to answer.

He wiggled his fingers. "Still have all ten! I've never gotten hurt, but I might have hurt Uncle Fez a few times."

Betsy scrunched her face. "Uncle Fez has all his fingers, too."

"That's not where I hurt him." Kelso returned the fireworks bundle to the plastic box. "Maybe I should come up with another idea."

Brooke nodded. "Yeah." She stood from the sofa and grazed her knuckles along his cheek. "You'll figure out how to help make this Halloween special -- safely." She glanced back at Betsy. "You always do."

He did. Having a kid changed him more than anyone expected, especially himself. He'd grown up with three older brother, two younger ones, and a younger sister. He'd been given responsibilities he mostly avoided except for diaper duty. Poop never bothered him, but his own kid ... he'd do anything for her. That was why he only wanted one, to give her the attention he didn't get as a child.

Brooke had been disappointed at first. She'd hoped to give Betsy a sibling, but she didn't divorce Kelso over their disagreement. They made sure Betsy had plenty of friends her age, and she had a ton of cousins from his side of the family. Betsy was really close with his sister's kids. Kelso asked Mrs. Forman if Kimberly's family could be invited to the Halloween party.

That was a yes, so he'd scored already. Now he needed a spectacle he'd promised the Formans. "I've got three-and-half weeks to plan. Brooke, do you trust me?"

Brooke flashed her wedding ring in front of his face. "'Til death do us part -- which will be a very long time from now," she said, the last bit clearly for Betsy. His kid hated three D words: death, divorce, and diarrhea. He hated the same three. Unfortunately, only one was unavoidable.

But for Brooke and Betsy, he'd switched careers from the police to computer programming. It decreased his chances of a premature death, and he wouldn't increase them by being stupid about the Formans' Halloween party.

Excerpt from The Four Yorkshiremen Sketch. Everybody knows at least one person like these buffoons.

BTW this sketch pre-dates Monty Python's Flying Circus. It originated on At Last the 1948 Show (1967), a British comedy sketch series that starred Python members John Cleese and Graham Chapman, Tim Brooke-Taylor (The Goodies), and Marty Feldman (Young Frankenstein).

This is the original version of the sketch from At Last The 1948 Show:

And here's the Python version from Monty Python Live At the Hollywood Bowl (1982):

Hot take time!

I genuinely wish Brooke and Betsy became main characters so we can see Kelso’s character development more. Betsy totally made Kelso turn a 180° in the best way possible and we have Brooke to thank

Summary: Donna has been studying abroad in Prague for the last four months. In that time, things have gotten heated between Jackie and Hyde. Jackie wants more, but what does Hyde want? It turns out he's been telling her this whole time, and she just wasn't listening the right way.

Finally wrote that Norah Jones inspired college AU. Hope you enjoy! Lots of good songs mentioned!

G6 for the Jukebox ask game if you aren’t buried in asks and are still accepting more! 😁

G 6: Gambling, Kelso

Kelso and his friends go to Vegas for his bachelor party weekend. Brooke, however, makes sure Donna is part of the party.

Donna justifies her self-invitation because she was "one of the guys" for so long that she's grandfathered in. Fez finds the concept fascinating. Hyde is amused, and Eric's happy Donna's there. Kelso, though, thinks Brooke sent Donna to babysit him.

During the drive to Vegas ...

Kelso (to Donna): We're not going to any strip clubs. Just the casinos -- God! I can't believe Brooke still doesn't trust me. Maybe we're not ready to get married.

Donna: Kelso, settle down --

Hyde: That's what he's doin' next week if he doesn't screw up this weekend.

Donna: I'm here to have fun, okay? And to make sure you don't have too much fun gambling.

Kelso: Well, if I have fun gambling, that means I'm winning. So you should make sure I do have fun.

Fez: Don't play poker.

Kelso: But I'm good at poker.

Eric: Hate to break it to ya, Buddy, but your're not. Even I can spot your tells.

Kelso: What are tells?

Hyde: Hey, how's about we skip the casino and play poker in one of our hotel rooms? Winning dough from your friends is more fun than from the casino, man.

Donna: Hyde.

Hyde: What?

Donna crosses her arms over her chest and rolls her eyes. This weekend will be tougher than she anticipated.

***

Later at a casino, Kelso's discovered the joy of slot machines. He likes the noise and the heavy buckets of quarters he's won.

Hyde finds him in a row of one-armed bandits and glances at a bucket half full of dirty quarters. Kelso's fingers are stained with the same dirt, but Kelso doesn't care. He's making a killing.

Kelso: Hey, Hyde! Guess what my new favorite number is.

Hyde: Zero.

Kelso: No, seven! I keep winning!

Hyde: Have you cashed in yet?

Kelso: Yeah! The casino gives the best twenties. They're all crispy, and the sevens turn them into those. (He nods at the half-full bucket of quarters.)

Hyde: You saving any of those crisp twenties?

Kelso: I'm on a hot streak!

Hyde: I'll take that as a no.

Kelso: Sit down already. Play some slots with me. If you get sevens, we can celebrate. If you lose, I can laugh at you. It's win-win.

Hyde: Nah. I'm gonna head to my room and take a nap.

Hyde pats Kelso's shoulder and leaves. Kelso is confused but doesn't let that stop him from gambling.

***

Hyde passes by Fez, who's playing at a black jack table. Fez is doing well. Beyond him is a craps table where Donna is cheering on Eric. Eric is actually on a hot streak. Hyde approaches him, but Donna spots Hyde first.

Donna: Hyde! Oh, my God -- Eric's winning money for us and everyone surrounding the table. Craps is so cool!

Hyde: Kelso's losing all his money in the slot machines. He's freakin' oblivious.

Donna: Really? Damn, I'll drag him out of his hole.

Eric: Wait! Donna, you can't leave me now. You're my good luck charm! I'm gonna lose if you go.

The other gamblers at the table glare at Donna, but she leaves anyway.

Eric (to Hyde): Are you lucky? Please tell me you are. I think these guys'll kill me if I make a bad throw.

Hyde: That's gambling, man. The house always wins.

Eric: You lost it all, didn't you? Get out of here.

Eric tosses the dice. Lucky eleven.

Hyde: Haven't lost anything. Haven't gambled.

Eric: Oh.

Hyde: Hot streaks end, man. Remember that.

Hyde exits the casino and goes to his room for that nap.

***

Donna sits down at the slot machine beside Kelso. She plays a little until Kelso becomes aware of her presence.

Kelso: Donna! Do you have any quarters?

Donna shakes her plastic bucket. Coins rattle inside.

Kelso: Great! My machine went lousy on me, but it's gonna turn around. I can feel it.

Donna: And you're gonna turn around and stop gambling. I can feel it.

Kelso: Huh?

Donna: You go overboard with everything, and Brooke knew you would here. That's why you don't have access to your bank account.

Kelso shrieks.

Donna: Yeah, say no more.

Donna drags Kelso by his ear out of the casino and to the bank if elevators that lead to the hotel rooms. Kelso complains the whole time about Brooke's lack of trust and how she's keeping him from winning back their money.

Donna, outside of Hyde's hotel door, says, "You should've been smart enough not to lose it in the first place."

She bangs on the door. Hyde opens it. Donna shoves Kelso at him and says, "He's your problem now."

***

Hyde sits on the edge of the king-size bed in his room. Beside him is Jackie, who's hand rests on his knee. Kelso sputters.

Hyde: How much cash you got left?

Kelso pulls his jeans pockets inside-out. They're empty.

Jackie: Wow! You've become a total cliché.

Kelso: Hyde, why didn't you stop me?

Hyde: I tried. You didn't listen

Kelso (tugging at his hair and pacing the room): Brooke's gonna kill me! Or worse: not marry me!

Hyde slings his arm around Jackie and says, "Been tellin' you this for years -- you got to learn to think! Vegas was a dumb idea for your bachelor party, but we can't think for you. So we went with you, hopin' you'd matured enough to think of your family first."

Jackie: He was thinking of them. Thinking he could make money to support Brooke, Betsy, and baby number two.

Kelso: Exactly! (To Hyde) Your folks used to gamble all the time when you were growing up. You must've learned some tricks. Teach me! I promise to pay back whatever you lend me with interest.

Hyde: First, I'm not givin' you any dough. Second, alls Bud and Edna taught me was never gamble. 'Specially Bud. Loan sharks caught up to him and cut off his thumbs.

Jackie gasps. "You didn't tell me that!'

Kelso looks at his thumbs and says, "But I need these!"

Hyde: Kelso -- (blows out a breath, exasperated) -- I had Jackie meet me here 'cause she's the best gamble I ever made. The only one that counts. Brooke's gambling on you to use common sense. I wouldn't take those odds, but she has.

Kelso: You're right. I've let her down. Let my daughter and unborn kid down. What am I supposed to do?

Jackie: Better.

***

Everyone is seated in a fancy restaurant for dinner. Kelso was surprised when Fez told him where the reservation was made. Now that they're browsing at the menu, Kelso says, "Are we doing a dine-and-dash?"

Eric: We're celebrating your last days as a bachelor.

Kelso: But I can't afford this.

Donna: We know. But it turns out Eric's really good at craps.

Eric: All those years of playing board games paid off.

Fez passes Kelso a rectangular gift box. Kelso opens it and finds the exact amount of money he lost in the slots.

Kelso: How?

Fez: I figured out the secret to black jack! (Whispers) Keep track of the card already played. I am filthy, filthy rich. Rhonda and I can both go to culinary school now and buy a house!

Donna: Isn't that, like, cheating?

Jackie: There are no rules against outsmarting a casino.

Hyde: Not yet. (To Fez) If other people figure out what you did ... that's gonna be interesting.

Kelso (overwhelmed): Guys, thank you so much! You saved my marriage! Which I'm not in yet.

Donna: Only if you've learned from this experience.

Kelso: Oh, I've definitely learned: I have good friends who'll dig me out of my messes

Hyde stands up and frogs Kelso in the shoulder.

Kelso: And to think -- damn, Hyde! You almost turned me into a one-armed bandit.

***

While Kelso continued to do stupid things throughout his life, they weren't life-altering, and he never gambled again.

It be nice if That 90s Show brought back Jay's older half sister Betsy

Since she was born in 1979 and season 1 takes place in 1995, she would have been 16 years old
