Disclaimer: can't sue this gal, I don't own not one thing. Although I'd love to own a piece of Hyde.

Author's Note: this is my all ORIGINAL VERSION of how J/H got together. It's an alternate universe fic, so bare with me. This is my first time putting this kind of story up, now it may start off leaning towards J/E but there's a reason for that and it will become J/H if your all patient and review. If you like, let me know in your reviews. I live for them you guys, and thanks for the reviews on my last fic. You all rock.

Chapter #1

" hey, who is that? She's kind of cute." ponders Eric aloud, staring across the Hub.

" who?" questions Hyde, taking a glance around.

Taking a sip from his drink, Eric nods his head towards the petite brunette sitting alone," her, I've never saw her before."

glancing in the direction that Eric just nodded, Hyde merely shrugs his shoulders," beats me. She must be new here or something."

" whoa, she is hot! I'm going to go talk to her." informs Kelso with a wide grin.

" oh, goody! Kelso's going to make an ass out of himself." gushes Hyde with mock excitement. ...

" well, hello pretty lady." greets Kelso with a smile.

" can i help you?" asks a disinterested Jackie

Pulling up a chair, Kelso sits beside Jackie," can i have your number?"

rolling her eyes, Jackie picks at her fries," could you be anymore lame?"

" no, but i could try." says Kelso, a goofy smirk plastered on his face.

" did you want something?" questions Jackie, growing bored of their conversation.

Sitting up in his seat, Kelso tosses a fry into his mouth," just to ask you out on a date."

finishing the last of her drink, Jackie pushes her cup away," I'm kind of seeing someone already." ...

" so, how did it go?" asks Eric when Kelso returns to their table.

" fine, up until she told me that she was already seeing someone." confides Kelso, slumping in his seat.

Laughing to himself, Hyde tosses a tater tot into his mouth," so you got shot down?...yeah, thats just good stuff."

sighing to himself, Kelso takes a bite of his hot dog," whatever."

" oh, don't worry Kelso. There are plenty of other fish in the sea." consoles fez, sucking down his soda. ...

" Jackie, who were you just talking to?" questions her boyfriend, walking up behind her.

" hey Greg I don't know, he just came up to me." greats Jackie, startled slightly.

Folding his arms across his chest, Greg stares down at Jackie," what did he want?"

poking at her plate, Jackie shrugs her shoulders," i don't know. He asked me out but i said that i was already seeing someone."

" i see. Lets go, we're leaving." informs Greg, yanking Jackie from her seat.

" but I'm not even done eating yet." protests Jackie, snatching up her drink.

Grabbing Jackie by her arm, Greg pulls her out of the Hub," i said we're leaving!"

wincing in pain, Jackie follows Greg outside," owwwe Greg, your hurting my arm." ...

watching as Jackie gets dragged from the Hub, Hyde notices the guy she's with hit her," what the hell!"

" what?" questions Eric, giving Hyde a confused look.

" what?...oh, uh nothing." mutters Hyde with a shake of his head.

Giving Hyde a weird look, Eric arches an eyebrow," are you ok Hyde?"

pulling on his Jackie, Hyde stands up from his chair," I'm fine...I've got to go." ...

" no, i mean it Greg! We're over!" yells Jackie in an angry tone.

" you don't get to say when we're over, now get in the car!" snaps Greg, back handing Jackie once more.

Shaking her head no, Jackie takes a small step back," no, I'm tired of you always trying to control me AND hitting me!"

whacking Jackie across the face again, Greg shoves her to the ground and kicks her twice in the side," what did i tell you about talking back to me! ... you know what? Fine, you'll just wind up getting knocked up and alone anyway!" ...

" are you ok?" questions Hyde, cautiously walking towards Jackie when the coasts clear.

" I'm fine." mumbles Jackie, touching her bloody lip.

Kneeling down besides Jackie, Hyde offers her a hand," really? Because you don't look it."

taking Hyde's hand, Jackie pulling herself up; wincing in pain all the while," well, i will be anyways."

" who was that jerk?" asks Hyde, using his sleeve to swipe blood from Jackie's lip.

" that was my boyfriend, but i broke up with him...he didn't take it so well." confides Jackie, lowering her gaze.

Staring at the welt on Jackie's face, Hyde touches it softly," did he do that?"

closing her eyes tightly, Jackie shudders in pain," could you not touch it? That hurts."

" right, sorry." apologizes Hyde, looking Jackie over.

" it's cool, you didn't know." says Jackie with a heavy sigh.

Taking Jackie by the hand, Hyde leads her to the parking lot," come on, we should put ice on that."

stopping in her tracks, Jackie looks up at Hyde," where are we going?"

" to ice down your cheek." informs Hyde, leading her toward his car.

" but, i don't even know you." points out Jackie with hesitation.

opening the El Camino door for Jackie, Hyde waits for her to climb in," oh, uh...I'm Hyde"

crinkling her nose slightly, Jackie scoot closer to Hyde," your name is really Hyde?"

" no, its Steven But i go by Hyde, its my last name." confides Hyde, starting up the El Camino.

" ooooh, well thanks Steven I'm glad that you came along, oh and I'm Jackie Burkhart." greets Jackie with a smile. ...

" and, there! Is that any better?" ponders Hyde with a raised eyebrow.

" a lot, but has the swelling gone down at all?" asks Jackie, afraid of the answer.

Holding a bag of ice to Jackie's face, Hyde nods in response," a little bit, yeah."

sighing in relief, Jackie shift in her seat," thank god."

" so, why would you date such a jerk?" asks Hyde, studying Jackie's face.

" it wasn't by choice, trust me." mutters Jackie, closing her eye briefly.

Raising a curious eyebrow, Hyde gives Jackie a perplexed look," what do you mean?"

settling down beside Hyde, Jackie avoids his gaze," my parents made me because he was well off."

" you mean he's rich?" guesses Hyde, knowing the answer.

" try loaded, and he's a real jerk." corrects Jackie in disgust.

Tensing at the thought, Hyde clenches a fist," I'd like to meet this ass hole, just to knock him out."

smiling at this, Jackie pecks Hyde on the cheek sweetly," thanks Steven Your sweet, you know?"

" what was that for?" questions Hyde, touching his cheek.

"...i don't know." confesses Jackie with a shy smile.

Standing up from his seat, Hyde grabs his coat," I'll see you around Jackie"

stepping in front of Hyde quickly, Jackie places a hand on his chest," wait, could you stay over?"

" what for?" ponders Hyde, looking at Jackie's hand.

" in case..in case Greg decides to pay a visit." whispers Jackie in a small voice.

With a simple nod, Hyde sits beside Jackie," where do i sleep?"

biting at her bottom lip in thought, Jackie lets out a tired huff," take my room, I'll take the couch."

" no way." protests Hyde with a frown.

" well, what do you suggest then?" retorts Jackie with a yawn.

With a simple shrug, Hyde lets out a tired sigh," you take your bed, I'll take the floor."

shaking her head no, Jackie pulls Hyde up," no."

" no?" repeats Hyde with a confused look.

" you can sleep with me." offers Jackie, showing Hyde upstairs.

Grinning in response, Hyde follows Jackie to her room," don't you want to get to know me a little bit first?"

slapping Hyde's arms playfully, Jackie rolls her eyes," you've got to try a lot harder than that Steven Hyde" ... --
