That 70s Show Prom Night


Eric Forman was never the popular guy. He never had any luck with girls, he never excelled in sports, and never got invited to any parties. But that was all going to change in one crazy night.
       It was April of 2011 and Eric was determined to end the year with a bang. He ran into a couple of jocks in the hallway for their usual harassment. “Eric your such a dork, you always do things the right way” they continued “momma’s boy”, “teacher’s pet”. Eric finally made it out the locker and said “you know what fine, let’s make a bet”. The jocks looked at each other and seem interested.
    “On prom night, I will steal a garbage truck, bring it to prom, and pour all the garbage in the auditorium for a senior prank.” Eric couldn’t believe what he had just said. “Under one condition” one jock says“you have to do all that while holding a sewing machine. sewing machine? Theses guys are just as dumb as they look. “Ok I am in.
       Prom night had arrived and Eric was sweating bullets. He had hired a guy who knew someone with a truck he could borrow. Eric would wait for the guy outside the back door of the school. No way was Eric thinking about doing this on his own. Eric was so anxious that he took a walk in a near by park. “I can’t go through with this, I can’t, Eric said to himself. Eric looked around and noticed a truck. “Wait! Eric walked over and said “Henry? What are you doing here?” “Hey Eric I stole the truck you wanted” Eric was fraught with anger. “I thought u knew a guy who would let you borrow the truck, not steal it!” “Yeah well things got complicated” explained Henry “Hey kid I think you better get out of here, I think the cops are coming.” “The cops!!” Eric yelled.
    Before Eric can say anything else Henry was on his way except he got so nervous he put the truck in reverse and then it landed in a ditch. Eric walked back to the bench and act like nothing happened. He noticed his grandma’s sewing machine still on the bench and almost forgot it went along with this ridiculous bet. He was far enough away from the scene so the cops wouldn’t question him.
       The cops arrived with what seems to look like the owner of the truck. Eric started walking when a police officer stops him. “Hey young man!” shouted the officer Eric turned around feeling wary. “I need to ask you some questions son” “did u see what happened here?” “Umm no, no officer I was on way to my grandma’s and bring her  sewing machine back. Eric said. “well your well dress to be going to your grandma’s house. “Well officer….Officer Richards the officer interrupts Eric. “Well officer Richards, I’m on my way to prom. Eric couldn’t believe how well his story came together. “Well you get on your way don’t want you to be late for prom, ahh the good old days” Officer Richards says as he linger into his thoughts. “Well ok” Eric says uncomfortably.
           Officer Richards walked away. Just then Eric knew his plan failed. “Oh my camara.” Eric reached in his pocket and grabbed his camera his mom gave him. He seen a man walked by and says “Hey can u take my picture please?” “yeah sure kid.” Eric had a picture to prove these jocks even though his plan fail through he still accomplish the unthinkable. Well at least in his mind.
