Chapter 1: Road Trip to California.
In the Kitchen, The Foremans, Eric, and Hyde are at the table, eating breakfast.
Kitty - I can't believe Donna ran away from home.
Red - Thank this Dumbass over here.
Eric - What?
Red - That poor girl wanted you back, and you told her no.
Eric - I had to, Dad, I'm not a rebound. I have pride, honor, dignity.
Red - And this coming from a guy who still plays with dolls.
Eric - They are not dolls, they are G.I. Joes.
The sliding door opens, it's Bob.
Bob - Hey there, hi there.
Hyde - Morning, Bob.
Bob - I think I know where Donna is at.
Kitty - Where?
Bob - My only guess is California.
Kitty - How did you figure?
Bob - That's where Midge was last living at, according to her last postcard, plus there's no one else Donna would run to.
Eric - There's Casey Kelso.
Red gives him a look.
Red - Don't be a smartass.
Bob - Not funny, Eric. But if you must know, I did check there too, he hasn't seen her either.
Kitty - Is Midge really in California?
Bob - I don't know, that postcard was sent to me months ago.
The sliding door opens again, It's Kelso.
Kelso - Morning, everyone.
Kitty - Hi, Michael.
Red - Oh, look, it's the village idiot.
He laughs at Red's comments.
Kelso - You're joking Red, right?
Red - Kelso, I never joke about something.
Eric - It's true, he's like Patton and Captain Kirk rolled into one.
Red - You just like getting me mad in the morning, don't you?
Eric - What can I say, it's a gift.
Kitty - Michael, why are you up this early?
Kelso - Oh, I was just coming back from Jackie's...I mean the playground.
Both Hyde and Eric chuckle.
Hyde - Great story, Kelso.
Eric - I agree.
Kelso - So, What's everyone up to?
Eric - Trying to find out where Donna ran away to.
Kelso - Oh, she went to California.
Eric - What?
Kelso - Yeah, I saw her at the bus station, I thought about going along, but I didn't want to miss my shows.
Hyde - Kelso, you watch cartoons in the morning.
Kelso - I know, I didn't want to miss them. Plus, Jackie would've been looking for me.
Red - Focus, Kelso.
Kelso - What?
Red - You saw Donna leave, and you didn't bother to tell anyone?
Kelso - I was going to, but I forgot.
Red - Kelso, How do you...Never mind.
Bob - Well, that settles it, I'm going to California.
Red - What?
Bob - You heard me, I'm going there to get my family back.
Kitty - Red.
Red - Kitty, let him go, he can take care of himself.
Bob - That's right. After all I ran my own business.
Red - See. He can do it.
Kitty - No, he can't go, can you imagine a whole summer without him?
Red thinks about it.
Fantasy P.O.V.
Red and Kitty are in the driveway, relaxing on lawn chairs.
Kitty - This is nice.
Red - Yup. It's peaceful, and there's no one to ruin it. Perfect Summer.
End of Fantasy.
Kitty - Red!
Red - What?
Kitty - Red, Bob can't go to California by himself.
Red - You're right, Kitty. Eric, you go with Bob to California.
Eric - Really?
Red - Yes, decide before I change my mind.
Eric - I'm going to California!
Bob - Good, we can leave tomorrow.
Kelso - We can take my van!
Bob - Even better, I'm gonna go start packing, you should too.
Eric - On it.
Bob turns around and exits the house, Eric goes up to his room, Fez enters the Kitchen.
Kitty - Fez? What are you doing here?
Fez - Oh, I like to come visit, makes me feel special.
Hyde - Looks like it'll be me and these guys all summer long.
Red - You'd better go along, Steven, and take the idiot brothers with you as well.
Hyde - Cool.
Fez - Oh, we're getting new friends?
Hyde - Let's go, guys.
Hyde gets up from the table, and goes down to the basement, with Kelso and Fez following suit. Red smiles.
Red - Here's to a great summer.
End of Chapter One.
