It's been a week since my birthday, a week since Red found out. Neither of us had talked to him and he didn't talk to us. When all three of us were in the room, Steven and I walked on egg shells.
Steven and I were barely at home anymore, we'd wake up, go somewhere and wouldn't come back until it was dark out. "Red, why can't you just apologize? They're avoiding you." Kitty asked as she, Red, and Eric sat down at the kitchen table for dinner.
"I'll apologize when they break up." He said. Kitty rolled her eyes and didn't say anything else. "Dad, I don't understand why you can't be happy for them." Eric said. Red looked at him. "Because it's Janie and it's Steven." He said.
"Dad, they're literally made for each other. Janie's basically the female version of Hyde and vice versa." Eric said. "I'm going to the garage." Red said as he got up. Eric shook his head. "I'm going over to Donna's." He said.

Point Place, Wisconsin
June 18th, 1976
6:45 p.m.
Location: Water Tower"We really need to talk to Red." I told Steven. "Yeah, but we'll go there to talk and he'll end up yelling at us man." He said. I sighed. "I knew he would get mad, but trying to kick you out? That's a little too far. " I said.
"What if we moved out?" Steven suggested. I turned and looked at him. "That's a lot. If we move where are we gunna go? You don't make that much at the Photo Hut." I said. He shrugged. "It was just an idea man." He said.
"Red will get over it eventually, but eventually might take 10 years!" I said. "What if we don't have 10 years?" Steven asked. Steven and I never really talked about our futures. We didn't know if futures, was supposed to be singular. I knew it would pop up eventually, just not this soon.
I looked at him. "We don't know, but I'd like to think we will...or at least till one of us dies or gets arrested." I said. He laughed at that. "You've already gotten arrested." He told me. I nodded, "Then I guess we're stuck with each other till we die man." I said.
He smiled. "I'm okay with that." He said. "Good." I said as I put my head on his shoulder. "When do you want to go home?" He asked me. I shrugged and looked at my watch. "It's almost 7, I say we play it safe and wait until 9." I told him.
He was okay with that. We stayed at the water tower until around 8. We didn't go home though, we went to get the rest of the guys. I needed something fun to do with them after my crappy birthday.
"What are we doing?" Kelso asked. "Ask Janie man." Steven said from the drivers seat in the Vista Cruiser. "We're going on an adventure. After my crappy birthday and Red finding out, I just wanna do something fun guys." I told them.
"OH, I have an idea man!" Kelso said. "Well Kelso, I'd love to hear it man!" I told him. "What if, we drive to Canada for beer." He said. I looked at him. "Doesn't it close at 9?" Donna said as a joke.
"That's an idea for tomorrow, we need something for the next two hours man." I told them. "Yeah, Red is still pissed." Eric said. I nodded. "Knew he would be." I told my brother. "So what are we doing?" Fez asked us.
I then got an ingenious idea. "Oh, I have an idea!" I exclaimed. "Well let's hear it Janie." Steven said. "What if we go into someone's yard on the rich side of town and use their pool while they're sleeping?" I suggested.
"YES!" Kelso yelled. "Alright then." Eric said. Steven then took a turn on the road and drove to the rich side of Point Place. We stopped in front of a random house. "How do you know this house has a pool?" Eric asked me.
I shook my head. "I don't, which is why Kelso here, is gunna take this flashlight and go see if they do have one." I said as I took a flashlight out of the glove box and handed it to him. "Awe why do I have to go?" He whined. "Because we all want you to." I said.
He groaned and got out of the car and slowly walked to their backyard and hopped their fence. It didn't take long until we all saw him walking back to the car. "Nope." He said. We tried the house next to it and they didn't have a pool either.
"Third one's a charm." I told them as Kelso got out and went to the backyard. Shortly after that he came running back to the car. "Score!" He said. Steven parked the car farther away from the house and we all quietly walked to this strangers backyard and jumped the fence.
We all stripped down to our underwear and what not and then we swam. "I never have done this before." Fez said as we swam. "Well, new experiences make the world go around man." I told him.
We decided to play chicken. I was on Steven's shoulders, Donna on Eric's. Whoever fell first, lost. "You are going down Donna." I said. She shook her head. "Alright, 1, 2,3!" Kelso counted down.
Donna and I then started to push each other. "Hey! No face hits!" I said. I pushed Donna and I for sure thought she was gunna fall but she didn't. She shoved me, but I stayed on Steven's shoulders. I then shoved Donna and she went down.
"YES, THAT IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" I said as I got off of Steven's shoulders and kissed him. Kelso then ran out of the pool and to the far end of the yard. "CANNON BALL!" He said as he ran and jumped in.
It made a big splash. We were unaware at how loud we were being until I saw the back light on the house turn on. "Guys, we better go!" I said getting out of the pool. We all scrambled out of the pool and started grabbing our clothes when a guy, the owner of the house came running out.
"What the hell! Get off my lawn and off my property before I call the cops!" He said as we quickly grabbed our clothes. The guy was chasing us out if his yard. We hopped back over his fence and ran to the car laughing.
"Oh my god!" Donna said. "We have been blessed with the genius idea of my girlfriend!" Hyde yelled as we all ran down the street. There were no people passing by, but if there was, they'd think we were insane.
We were a bunch of teenagers, running down the street in our underwear. All because we took advantage of some rich guys pool without his permission.
When we reached the car we all put our clothes on over our soggy undergarments. It was fun while it lasted but now I was uncomfortable. Wearing wet clothes was not fun. "That was great guys!" Kelso said as Steven drove us home.
"Tell me about it! Steven and I are undefeated Chicken Champions man!" I exclaimed. We were all laughing and having fun. I really needed this, especially after everything that happened on my birthday.
We dropped Fez and Kelso off at there houses and we went home. When we pulled into the driveway, Donna kissed Eric goodnight and she went next door. Steven, Eric, and I then walked through the kitchen door.
Eric went to his room. "I'm going to sleep. I'll see you in the morning." I told Steven. He nodded. "Night Janie." He said. I said goodnight and also and went to my room.
I'd have to shower in the morning. When I reached my room, I changed my clothes and went to sleep. I'm so glad that I decided to go swimming in stranger's pools. I've never done it before, but I'm glad I did and I'm glad I did it with my friends.
I know for a fact we're gonna end up doing it again too, just not at the same house, because that was a lot of fun man.
Now we just continue to wait for Red to stop acting like an Ass.
