My own version of what could have happened in 'Burning Down The House'. Just something I had written that I figured I might as well post. One-Shot.
"I'm going upstairs to feel sorry for myself." She muttered, as she left the room.
She lay on the bed crying only to have Hyde walk in on her.
"You alright?" He asked a little concerned.
"Do I look alright?" She sniffled as she stopped the tears.
"Sorry." He murmured.
"Don't be. I'm just really upset with Michael."
"Yeah, he's an idiot."
"Why are you up here?" She asked sitting up properly.
"Donna sent me to check on you."
"She couldn't be bothered to do it herself? Stupid lumberjack."
"In fairness she has got Eric to look after."
"That's true." All trace that she'd been crying had now disappeared.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Go ahead." She smiled.
"What's with chicks? One minute they're all over you, the next they aren't." She rolled her eyes.
"More like what's wrong with guys? You try and have a party and they invite people you don't want there." She sighed.
"You want some?" He held out a glass.
"What is it?" She eyed the glass suspiciously.
"Whiskey….and cola."
She took a sip. "There's no whiskey in that." She looked at him weirdly.
"Fine. I'm drinking cola." She smiled. "You know, for once you haven't been annoying." He admitted.
"Well I've been a little preoccupied being heartbroken."
"I don't know why you bother with him." Hyde told her.
"I guess I just always imagined myself marrying him so I put up with his childishness." She confided.
"You shouldn't have to."
"You're being nice to me. How much were you drinking earlier?"
"Surprisingly, not much."
"I guess not all guys are immature and don't listen. Thank you."
"For what?" He asked confused.
"Listening." She hugged him.
"What are you doing?"
She let go and backed away. "Sorry."
"Don't be, it's fine." He hugged her. "See?"
"Either you've changed somehow or you lied about how much you've drunk." She laughed lightly.
He leaned over and kissed her. "Oh crap, did I just….?" He stood over by the door.
"Yeah." She touched her lips. "I should go." She left the room and went downstairs to find Kelso trying to put out a fire. She went back up to the room.
"I'm so sorry." Hyde said as soon as he saw her again. She went straight up to him and kissed him.
"Michael and I are finished."
"I kinda figured." They kissed again.
Thanks for reading. Don't forget to review. Constructive criticism welcome.
