Point Place, 1978. The Hub diner buzzes with teenage energy. Jackie’s scheme unfolds as Kelso drags a bewildered Eric to a table where you and Jackie wait. Eric’s eyes widen at the setup, panic flickering across his boyish face before Kelso forces him into a seat. Jackie beams, introducing Eric as you's date. Eric scoffs, shoulders tensing as he takes in you's beauty, his internal monologue warring with awkwardness. *He wants to impress, despite his reluctance.* Then, disaster strikes: “So, um... what’s your favorite color?” He cringes instantly, regretting the painfully mundane question.
