A/N: Okay this important so READ this! This story is a slight crossover with the movie Sky High. Before you get all disgusted, it's only a crossover cause I put Warren Peace into this story. No, there are no super powers. It's just the character that I'm using in this story... And yes, he will be portrayed by Warren Peace.

Disclaimer: I do not own That 70's Show, War and Peace, and I can't really say that I own Warren Peace either.

War and Peace

'You say you can't see a reign of goodness and truth on earth. Nor could I, and it cannot be seen if one looks on our life here as the end of everything. On earth, here on this earth,' (Pierre pointed to the fields), 'there is no truth, all is false and evil; but in the universe, in the whole universe, there is a kingdom of truth, and we who are now the children of the earth are—eternally—children of the whole universe. Don't I feel it in my soul that I am part of this vast harmonious whole? Don't I feel that I form one link, one step, between the lower and the higher beings, in this vast harmonious multitude of beings in whom the Deity—the Supreme Power if you prefer the term—is manifest? If I see, clearly see, that ladder leading from plant to man, why should I suppose it breaks of at me and does not go farther and farther?'

War and Peace / Tolstoy, Leo / bk.2, pt.2, ch.12

At this very moment, Jackie Burkhart wanted nothing more than to cry her pretty little mismatched eyes out. She had chosen him. She chose him and he walked off with some blonde stranger anyway.

Steven Hyde, you bastard! She wailed in her mind as she walked down one of the many sidewalks in Point Place.

She didn't understand. Why would he just walk off on her like that? Especially right after they shared that amazing kiss. She thought that he wanted her back. He made it seem that way. He was the one who told her to choose between him and Kelso. She supposed she should have chosen Hyde at that very moment but she was still so angry with him. Even now, she still hadn't gotten over him cheating on her with that nurse.

Jackie had passed by the Hub a few moments ago. There was no way in hell she was going in there just to watch the man she loved with another woman. It would make her sick to the stomach. So right now she was heading towards the Japanese restaurant a few blocks away. The place was called the Paper Lantern. She had been there a few times. She liked it, but usually she was at the Hub with her friends. She had a feeling that she wouldn't be going to the Hub much anymore though.

With a heavy heart, she walked into the Paper Lantern.

It wasn't the crowded. In fact only two tables were taken. She supposed she understood that; it was eight-thirty at night after all. She waited for someone to show her to her table. Usually, at the Hub she would just go sit down wherever but this was a restaurant.

Finally, the bus boy walked over to her. She had seen him around a few times. His hair was dark and just above his large shoulders, but right now it was pulled back into a ponytail. He didn't dress in the customary bus boy uniform. He wore a black tank top (revealing his muscular arms), ripped jeans, dirty black boots, and a food stained apron wrapped around his waist.

"You alone?" He asked his voice deep and masculine.

Jackie stared at him with big eyes for a moment before speaking. "Yes." She answered in a small voice.

He raised an eyebrow before gesturing for her to follow him. She did.

He led her to a small two seated table. She frowned at it before sitting down. Sitting here was reminding her of how alone she was. He then handed her a menu.

"What can I get you to drink?" He asked.

"Um… water is fine, thank you." She answered quickly. He nodded and then walked off.

Kelso sat at the Hub watching Hyde on his date with some blonde girl. Eric and Donna were with them. Donna and the girl seemed to be getting along just fine. The tall man didn't really like that all that much. How is Donna just okay with all of this? He wondered glaring at the four people. Jackie is her best friend.

He noticed Hyde getting up and walking to the bathroom. He soon followed.

"Hyde, what are you doing?" He asked once in the bathroom.

Hyde shot him a confused look. "I'm about to go to the bathroom."

"That's not what I meant." Kelso said seriously. "Why are you here with that girl? What about Jackie?"

"What about Jackie, man?" Hyde asked bitterly. "I don't care about Jackie anymore." He said crossing his arms over his chest.

"And I'm supposed to believe that you magically stopped caring about Jackie in a day?" Kelso asked incredulously.

"Yeah." Hyde replied simply. Kelso stared at him as if he were crazy.

"Man, Jackie chose you and you're just giving up on her… what is wrong with you!" He was almost close to shouting.

"There's nothing wrong with me!" Hyde snapped. "If Jackie wanted to be with me then she should have chosen me right then and there."

"Of course Jackie wasn't going to choose you right away, stupid." Kelso said sounding very childlike.

"Whatever." Hyde said, letting his Zen take over. Kelso shook his head.

"I really don't understand why Jackie wants to be with you. I really don't." He said and then walked out of the bathroom leaving Hyde alone with his thoughts.

Jackie was ashamed of herself. She honestly thought she could hold it all in. She was crying now. Not sobbing or anything, but silent tears ran down her flushed cheeks. It all hit her suddenly right after she finished eating her lo mien. She really did try to hold them back but it was no use; she needed to let it out.

"You ready for the check?" Came the familiar deep voice of the bus boy. She gasped and looked up at him in surprise. She hadn't even heard him coming. "Wow, are you okay?" He asked quickly noticing her tears.

She felt like a deer caught in headlights. She had been caught in an embarrassing moment and now she didn't know what to do. So, she began to cry even harder.

"N-no, I'm not… okay." She managed to sob out.

The busboy stood there staring down at the crying girl. He face was expressionless. Finally, he sighed deeply.

"I'll be right back." He told her and then walked off.

Jackie put a hand to her face. She felt so stupid. Way to just freak him out, Jackie. She scoffed herself inwardly. She wished she could just disappear right now. She wished all the embarrassment and pain would just go away. She was surprised when the busboy came back and sat down across from her with a tray of two small cups. She looked at him with watery eyes.

"Drink this. It'll make you feel better." He said nodding towards one of the cups.

Jackie blinked a few times before tentatively reaching out and taking a cup. "What is it?" She asked curiously.

"It's sake." He answered simply taking the other cup.

"Sake?" She asked confused looking down at the clear liquid.

"It's Japanese liquor." He told her.

Jackie shrugged and then quickly downed the small shot. Her features contorted into a disgusted expression. She made a retching sound and she shook her head trying to get the taste out of her mouth.

"Ugh, that was disgusting." She told him. "How was that supposed to make me feel better?"

The busboy laughed softly before downing his shot. "Give it a minute, amateur." He told her.

And he was right. After a moment she felt her nerves melting away. She felt herself calming down and she felt her tears disappearing. She suddenly smiled. She felt good… in fact she felt great. She felt wonderful.

"Wow… Japanese liquor is magical." She said with a big goofy smile. "What's your name?" She asked him tilting her head to the side in curiosity.

"Warren Peace." He answered after a moment of hesitance.

"I'm Jackie Burkhart." She said in return. "It's very nice to meet you, Warren."

"Like wise." He said with a nod. "Can I ask why you were crying?"

Jackie was silent and she looked down at her hands. At first she was weary, but right now she really needed someone to talk to. So what if it was some busboy in a Japanese restaurant?

"It all started out when my boyfriend left for California…"

It had been a rather calm environment in the Forman basement when Donna suddenly came bursting in. Hyde and Eric were just sitting there watching a repeat episode of Charlie's Angels.

"Guys, is Jackie here?" Donna asked with her hands on her hips.

"No. Why would Jackie be here?" Eric asked in confusion. "Isn't she at your house?"

"No!" Donna said throwing her hands up in the air. "It's nine o'clock. Where the hell could she be this late?" She asked to no one in particular.

"Well… she could be at the mall?" Eric suggested which just earned him a glare from his girlfriend.

"The mall closes early on Sunday's, dumbass." She snapped at him. "Hyde, do you know where she could be?"

"Why would I know where she is?" He asked not looking away from the TV.

"Don't get smart with me! Just answer the damn question." Donna yelled. Now Hyde turned his head towards her but his eyes were covered with his sunglasses.

"No, I don't know where she could be." He said after sighing deeply.

"Well, this is just great." She said sarcastically. "This is just fantastic. Jackie's missing now!"

"Wouldn't that be a good thing?" Eric asked in an oh-so-innocent tone.

"Shut your mouth, Eric!" She yelled pointing a long finger at her boyfriend. "I will snap you like a twig, little man!"

And with that said and done, Donna stormed right back out of the basement. Eric blinked a few times then looked over to Hyde.

"That… was scary." He said shuddering.

Hyde could only nod in agreement. However, he couldn't help but feel worried. Where the hell is Jackie?

"And then he just walks away with some blonde biker chick." Jackie whined to Warren. She almost couldn't believe she was pouring her heart out to this person that she just met. It could be due to the fact that she was upset and willing to talk to anyone or it could very well be due to the after affects of that shot of sake. "He told me that I should have chose him right then and there at the camp, but did he honestly expect me to just choose him right away? I mean, I was still very much heartbroken about him cheating on me."

"I wouldn't have chosen either of them." Warren said suddenly. He had been listening to this girl's story with much interest. She obviously had it bad.

"What?" Jackie asked confused.

"Why would you want to get back together with anyone who had cheated on you?" He asked looking at her with his dark eyes. They made her shiver inwardly.

"Steven said that he didn't mean it." She replied sadly.

"Of course he said that." Warren said in a sarcastic tone, nodding his head. "From what you've told me, it sounded like he did mean it. He meant for it to hurt you because he didn't have the guts to confront you about seeing you with your ex."

"Yeah, but-"

"He should also be grateful that you actually chose him. He obviously didn't deserve it." Warren interrupted never taking his eyes off of her. Jackie stared back at him and then she sighed.

"I know." She spoke in a sad and defeated tone.

"To be honest…" Warren spoke again trailing off a moment. "I don't think that he's worth it. You can do better than both of those guys."

Jackie suddenly jolted up. She felt as if she just experienced an epiphany.

"Oh my God…" She whispered and Warren gave her a concerned look.

"You are absolutely right!" Jackie said looking up at him with suddenly brightened eyes. A big smile suddenly appeared on her face. "I'll be fine. I keep on thinking that I can't live without Steven, but I just remembered I used to think the same thing about Michael. I have lived without Michael and I was fine. I can so live without Steven Hyde. I'm going to be okay." She spoke happily.

"Of course you're going to be okay." Warren told her with a smirk. It wasn't a smug or conniving smirk either. It was a neutral smirk that reassured her. "You don't need a man to be happy. You can make your self happy all on your own." He told her honestly.

"Oh my God, you're like so smart." Jackie exclaimed staring at this busboy in a whole new light.

She may have just met him, but Jackie now believed that this man was her savior. Steven Hyde was no longer her knight in shining armor atop a white horse. This man, this Warren Peace, was her new hero. It was like he was sent from heaven just to protect and comfort her from all the evils of the world. He's my guardian angel! She thought looking at him with admiration.

"Ookay." He said noticing her staring at him oddly. He looked back at the clock. "Well, it's closing time. Sorry, but it's time for you to go." He said shooting Jackie a sympathetic look.

"Oh, of course. Sorry, I was taking up so much—wait! What time is it?" She asked suddenly nervous.

"It's nine-thirty." He replied.

"Oh my God!" Jackie screeched suddenly standing up. "I've never been out this late on my own before." She said feeling her heart race quicken. What am I going to do? What am I going to do!!

"Wait, how old are you?" Warren asked curiously.

"Seventeen." She answered sniffling.

"Oh… did you drive here?"

"No, I walked. Oh no, I don't want to walk all the way back to Donna's this late." She said more to herself than Warren.

"Hold on a few minutes, okay. I'll give you a ride home." Warren said also standing up.

"Oh no, I wouldn't want to impose." Jackie said putting a hand to her heart.

"Don't worry about it. I don't really want you walking around out there this late either. There's a lot creeps out." He said then headed towards the back of the restaurant to get his stuff.

Jackie watched him with admiration again. My hero!

Kelso and Fez walked into Donna's house with slumped shoulders. She had forced the two men to go out looking for Jackie since she still wasn't back. Unfortunately, they had no luck in finding her. Donna was not going to be pleased…

"Did you guys find her?" She asked once they walked into her kitchen. She was sitting at the table.

"No, Donna we did not." Fez said with a heavy heart.

"Did you look in all the places where you thought she'd be?" Donna asked almost at the point of hyperventilating.

"Yeah, we did." Kelso said with an exhausted sigh.

"Did you look in the places where you didn't think she'd be?" Donna asked. Fez and Kelso looked at each other then back to Donna.

"No." They said together nervously.

"What!" Donna yelled standing up making the chair fall behind her. "You idiots were supposed to look everywhere. Everywhere!"

"Donna, stop taking your anger out on us." Kelso whined and quivering in fear at the same time. "You should be taking your anger out on Hyde. This is all his fault."

"What do you mean?" Donna asked suddenly confused but then she suddenly remembered and her eyes widened. Jackie chose Hyde and then he turned her down. "Oh my God! This is all his fault… that bastard! Damn it and I was being so nice to that dirty blonde whore he brought into the Hub."

"Yeah, I saw that." Kelso said finally finding his courage. "That was so un-best friend like of you, Donna."

"Yes, Donna, you should be ashamed." Fez said nodding in agreement.

Donna glared at both of them. "Get out of my house." She said darkly.

The two men quickly scurried out of the Pinciotti household.

Jackie followed Warren out of the Paper Lantern like some sort of lost puppy. She stayed close to him like she was his faithful companion. Then he walked up to a motorcycle and she suddenly stopped short.

"A motorcycle?" She asked looking at him with big eyes.

"Yeah." Warren confirmed and then smirked at her expression. "You're not scared, are you?" He asked slyly.

"No." She managed to squeak out.

He smiled at her and then handed her a helmet. "Here, put this on. It'll make you feel safer."

Jackie quickly took it from him but then noticed that he didn't have one. "What about you?"

"Don't worry about me." He told her climbing onto his bike.

Jackie stared another moment before finally sighing in defeat. She climbed on the seat behind him. She put her hands on the sides of the seat and held on.

"Put your arms around my waist." Warren told her.

"What?" Jackie asked shocked.

"You need to hold on or else you'll fall off." He said then reached back grabbing her hands and then forcing her arms around his waist.

Jackie held her breath as she rested her head against his back. She was a bit uncomfortable with the closeness. She suddenly squealed in shock once the motorcycle started and Warren started to drive off. She held onto him tightly. He seemed to be going faster and faster. She was afraid that she would forget to tell him where to go. Hell, she was more afraid of crashing and dying a horrifying death. Her heart beat was rushing so fast she was afraid she'd end up like Red and have a heart attack.

Finally, Warren pulled into Donna's driveway (Jackie managed to remember to tell him where to go). She took a deep breath before letting go of him and getting off the bike. She took off the helmet and she shook her head a bit in an attempt to fix her hair. She looked at Warren with a smile.

"Thank you so much." She said handing him the helmet.

"Don't mention it. I really didn't want you walking around town this late." He said taking the helmet from her.

"I mean for everything." She confirmed.

"Everything?" He asked confused.

"Yeah… for helping me realize things that I should have realized… a long time ago." She told him with a shy smile. He shrugged.

"It was nothing. You seemed really in need to be brought back to reality." He said and she made a 'yikes' expression.

"Wow, I don't whether to take that as reassurance or an insult." She said but there was a light smile on her face.

"I wouldn't dare insult a broken hearted girl." He told her and her smile grew. "You actually don't seem so broken hearted anymore." He complimented.

"I have you to thank for that again." She said happily. He smiled slightly.

"Well, you're welcome." He said with a nod. "I'll see you around, Jackie." He said putting the helmet on his head. And with that he backed out of the drive way and drove off.

Jackie had a huge dazed smile on her face as she waved goodbye to him. Once he was gone, she frowned deeply. This is bad, Jackie. You're getting all googly eyed with a man that you just met! She screeched in her mind then ran into the house.

However, once she stepped foot in that house she was bombarded by Donna.

"Where the hell have you been!" Donna shouted storming up to Jackie.

Jackie backed up against the door when Donna did so. She stared at her best friend with wide frightened eyes.

"Um…" She said her eyes darting around trying to find some sort of escape. Luck was not on her side.

"I've been worried sick about you! How could you just come home at ten o'clock?" Donna asked with eyes filled with fury.

"Well… um…. technically, it's only nine forty-five." Jackie said with a nervous smile and pointing to the clock.

"This isn't funny, Jackie." Donna told her with a dead serious expression. "I was seriously really worried about you. In fact, I don't think I've ever been that worried before."

Jackie's frightened features suddenly melted into a flattered one. "Oh my God, Donna, that is so sweet." She said quickly embracing her redheaded friend.

Donna's anger immediately faded and was replaced with shock. She was expecting more quivering in fear from her small friend, but instead she gets a hug. Yeah… she wasn't expecting that.

"Uh… Jackie…" She said before reluctantly hugging her back.

"You are such a great friend." Jackie said hugging her tighter. "I'm so sorry I made you worry."

Donna blinked a few times. Jackie shouldn't be acting this was, especially since the whole Hyde situation. Okay, something definitely happened while she was gone. She thought as she pulled away from the hug.

"Can you please tell me where you were now?" She asked curiously and Jackie smiled at her. Why is she smiling at a time like this! Donna thought still very much in shock. She's supposed to be sad.

"Okay, I'll tell you. I was at the Paper Lantern." Jackie said and Donna looked at her as if she grew another head.

"You were at the Paper Lantern until ten o'clock?" She asked incredulously.

"Really it was only until nine thirty."

"Jackie!"

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry." Jackie said her smile growing. "I just got caught up talking with the busboy."

"The busboy?" Donna asked in confusion. Why the hell would Jackie be talking to a busboy?

"Yeah, I had been really upset. I ended up crying right after I finished my food. The busboy came over and saw me all upset so then he gave me some sake and I felt so much better. We started talking then soon enough it was closing time. He drove me home. Warren really is a great guy." Jackie said with a dreamy look.

"Warren?" Donna asked still confused.

"Yeah, he's the busboy." Jackie said still in a dreamy daze. "Warren Peace."

"Warren Peace!" Donna suddenly screeched.

Jackie jumped back a bit in surprise. What's her problem? She wondered.

"Donna, what is wrong with you?" She asked looking at Donna with wide eyes.

Donna was utterly and completely shocked. She remembered Warren Peace. It was their last year in middle school and they were being shown around the high school for the first time. She remembered seeing that dark mysterious looking boy sitting alone at one of the lunch tables. She remembered asking about him and having the other kids telling her to stay away from him; that he was dangerous. His family was dangerous and so was he. He had been a senior at the time so once she entered the high school for her freshman year, he wasn't there. However, she would never forget about how afraid she was of him. Jackie would have no idea who he was because she was a year behind the rest of the gang.

She was about to tell Jackie to stay away from him. She was about to tell her of the danger but then she remembered Jackie's smile. She couldn't bring herself to tell Jackie any of the things that people had told her. This Warren Peace obviously cheered Jackie up. She hated seeing her best friend sad.

"Oh… um, nothing. I just remembered that name from somewhere. Sorry… didn't mean to yell." She quickly apologized.

"It's okay. I guess I should expect yelling from a lumberjack like you." Jackie said with a grin. She quickly noticed Donna's dark look and laughed. "I'm just kidding. Calm down." She said patting Donna's shoulder.

Despite herself, Donna laughed softly. "All right. So this, uh, Warren guy seemed to have some strange affect on you."

Jackie seemed to brighten at the mention of Warren. It kinda freaked Donna out. "Oh, Donna, he's so wonderful. He's really my knight in shining armor."

"Jackie… you just met this guy and I thought Hyde was your night in shining armor?" She asked still put off by Jackie's behavior.

"I may have just met Warren but I feel a very strong connection with him." Jackie said then her features turned to angry one. "As for Steven, he will never be knight in shining armor again. Do you know what he did to me today?" She asked furious. Donna knew exactly what he did… and she knew what she herself did as well. "I chose him, we kissed and then he just blows me off for some blonde bimbo. It was disgusting… and heartbreaking. He's such an ass!" She said pouting and crossing her arms over her chest.

Donna knew this was bad. "Well, maybe he was just tired of waiting. Maybe he just wanted you to choose him without having to think about it." She suggested innocently. Jackie's stare turned cold and Donna knew she was in trouble now.

"What is wrong with you people?" Jackie asked in disbelief. "First, none of you tell me that Michael had been cheating on me when we were dating. Now you're sticking up for Steven even after he had cheated on me. I had every right to keep him waiting. He deserved it after sleeping with that nurse."

"Jackie, that whole thing was a big misunderstanding." Donna tried to defend.

"God! Warren is like the only one who understands me. And you know what, Donna, Warren is completely right. Neither Michael or Steven are worth it." Jackie said before storming out of the kitchen only to come right back in after a moment. "Also, you can just warn everyone in the gang that I won't be hanging out as much down there. Humph!"

Donna watched Jackie turn and leave the kitchen again. This was bad, very bad. Hyde is not going to like this. She thought with a heavy heart.

She made a decision right then and there not to tell Hyde about Warren. She also made a decision not to tell Jackie that she had known about the blonde and was even nice to her.

What she didn't know, was that this would all eventually blow up in her face.

Warren Peace is portrayed by Steven Strait (of course!)
