"all right, nobody move. somebody took my last box of sugar babies. oh, no, wait. i was sitting on them." fez said.

"gee, fez, you didn't give forman a chance to pin it on me." hyde said.

"i didn't pin anything on you." eric said.

"no? well, when mrs. hodgkiss was yelling at me in front of the whole class, you didn't exactly step up and take responsibility. what were you thinking?" hyde asked.

"hmm. i guess i was thinking, i'm seven!" eric argued.

"hey. hey, hey! let's not fight, all right? it's halloween, man. it's time for peace on earth and good will towards men. let's read another file." kelso said.

"yeah, cause that's working out great so far." donna said.

"all right, fine. i'll read from my own, okay? oh. okay. here's a secret you guys didn't know about me cause it happened the year before i moved here. when i was in first grade, i used to wear this red cape to school and pretend i was superman." kelso said.

"you must have looked really stupid." fez said.

"said the boy dressed as batman." isabella said.

"wait, wait, wait. first grade?" eric asked kelso.

"yeah." kelso replied.

"no, no, no. when you moved here, you and i were in first grade. that's how we met." eric said.

"no, we didn't." kelso said.

eric grabbed kelso's file from him and looked at it.

"man, you had to repeat first grade?" eric said.

"oh, my god. michael, say it's not true." jackie said.

"it was... it was cursive writing, all right? all those stupid squiggles and bumps. i wouldn't do it!" kelso said.

"you mean you couldn't do it." hyde said.

"no! i wouldn't do it, and that's why they held me back! plus, i might have killed the class bunny. why?" kelso said.

"that's okay, kelso. let it out." fez said.

"i mean, it sucked, you know? living this lie, pretending to be a year younger than i really am." kelso said.

"wait a minute. you're 18?" hyde asked him.

"yeah. that's why i've always seemed more mature than you guys." kelso said.

"right." isabella said.

"are you telling me that all this time you could have been buying us beer?" hyde said.

"you bastard." fez said.

"what... no! it's not what you think." kelso said.

"you're dead to me." hyde said.

"but eric ruined your life." kelso said.
