1Background: Fez and Jackie became an official couple in their apartment, not in the Foreman's basement. Samantha is gone.

Chapter 1

"Donna!" Jackie squealed, bursting into the Forman's basement where she found Donna sitting on the couch and Hyde in his usual chair. "You'll never guess what happened."

"Okay Jackie. If this has anything to do with your hair or nails or both, I don't wanna know." Donna warned.

"I second that." Hyde added, putting is two cents in as usual and receiving a death stare from Jackie.

"No Donna!" Jackie yelled in her usual annoyed tone, ignoring her ex-boyfriend's comment. "I don't care about that childish stuff anymore Donna. I have more important things happening in my life."

"Uhuh." Donna nodded, turning her attention back to the TV. A show about fashion is on because both Donna and Hyde were too lazy to get up and change it.

"Stop watching that and pay attention to me." She ordered, walking over to the tv and turning it off. "Those pants would look horrible on your lumber jack body anyway."

"And I suppose they'd look great on you right?" Hyde questioned, trying to get under her skin.

"As a matter of fact...I look good in everything." Jackie told him. "Oh except that stupid t-shirt that you bought me that time." She added trying to hurt his feelings.

"Yeah that's true. You did look pretty stupid in that." He agreed, getting her at her own game.

"You know what Stephen. You can say whatever you want, but nothing is going to drag me down." Jackie smirked. "Because tonight...Fez and I became an official couple!" She screamed with excitement, jumping up and down.

"What!" Donna made a face. "Jackie you've always hated Fez."

"That's not true."

"Ok when he was dating Caroline and she even mentioned kissing Fez...the first word out of your mouth was 'Ewww'." Donna pointed out.

Jackie shrugged. "Maybe I was just hiding my feelings this whole time and I didn't even know it!" She gushed. "Oh my gosh Donna. What if all of this time I've been in love with Fez and it just took me this long to realize it? This is like a fairytale!" She smiled with excitement, then gasped. "This would make the perfect made for TV movie! Oh! And I could be the star!"

"I think I've seen that movie." Hyde interrupted, Donna smirked waiting for the insult. "Yeah it's called 'Crazy, money grubbing bitch marries poor, dirty foreigner.' It's a comedy."

"You're just jealous because you got dumped...by a hooker."

"Hey, she wasn't a hooker...she was an exotic, performance artist." Hyde sugar coated. "And beside I don't really care as long as I get to say I did it with a stripper."

"You just don't wanna see me happy." Jackie rested her hands on her hips. "It's so typical of you Stephen. You're always thinking about yourself."

"Yes. You're right I'm sorry. Maybe I should have taken some lessons on being selfless from you while we were together." He rolled his eyes, taking a swig of his beer.

"Errggg." Jackie couldn't take being around him anymore. "That's it. Donna I'll call you later and tell you all about how Fezzy and I finally realized our love."

"Can't wait." Donna called sarcastically, as Jackie stormed from the basement. Once she was gone, Donne turned her attention to Hyde. "This is disturbing."

"You're telling me." Hyde frowned, "Do you know what this means? I am in the same category as Fez."

"Man that's rough." Donna sympathized. They were quiet for a minute. "So umm...Fez and Jackie."

"Yeah." Hyde nodded.

"What do you really think about it?"

"What do you mean?" He questioned, taking another sip and propping his feet up on the table.

"Well, I mean...doesn't it bother you?"

Hyde cleared his throat and stared straight ahead as if he was actually interested in what was on the tv. "Why would it bother me?"

"Umm hello because it's Jackie." Donne pointed out. "You loved her."

"And you loved Foreman, but you moved on." He reasoned, with a nonchalant shrug.

"No I haven't." She laughed, sitting up. "I'm not over Eric. I love him and honestly, I don't think that's ever gonna change."

"I guess you and Foreman were different then me and Jackie." He dismissed.

"Maybe." She sighed, "But I don't think so."

"Okay." Was all he could say.

"Look, all I'm saying is if you wanna be with Jackie then you need to do something about it." Donna told him, standing up. "You two may be opposites, but you have one thing in common. You're both too stubborn for your own good." With that said, she grabbed her jacket and left Stephen alone with his thoughts.

He sat there for a second then stood and grabbed his coat. "Crap." He mumbled, heading for the door.

A few minutes later, Hyde found himself at Jackie and Fez's apartment door. Pounding on the wood, he yelled "Open the door."

"No thank you." Fez's timid voice called from the other side.

"Relax. I'm not here to kick your ass." Hyde sighed.

"Oh okay then." He replied, but made no movement to open the door.

"Are you gonna let me in?"

"Nope. I don't believe you." Fez yelled.

"Fez. Open the door and stand up for our love!" Hyde heard Jackie order in her usual, whiny tone. Hyde frowned at the sound of her voice, he was hoping that she wouldn't be there

"Okay sweetums." Fez laughed nervously, as the lock clicked and the door inched open slowly. Fez peaked his head slowly around the door and was relieved to find no weapons in Hyde's hands. "H-heyy buddy." He stammered, opening the door all the way. "Come on in."

Hyde crossed him arms, glancing inside at Jackie who was watching intently from the couch. "Actually...why don't you step out here with me."

Fez let out a laugh. "I'd rather not." He told him between nervous chuckles.

"I'd rather not kick your ass right now, but I will if I have to." Hyde smirked. "See where I'm going with this?"

"I think I do. Yes." Fez nodded, stepping out into the hallway. He glanced back at Jackie, who watched with suspense.

"And I think you should probably close the door." He added.

"Oh." Fez bit his lips. "Okay." He smiled, looking back at Jackie and widening his eyes as he closed the door. As soon as it shut, Jackie was there with her ear pressed against the wood. "So what brings you to my high security apartment building?"

"Relax Fez. I just wanna talk man."

"Oh great." He breathed, still not believing him.

Hyde uncrossed him arms and walked closer to Fez, causing the foreigner to back up against the wall. "I just thought you should know that if you ever do anything, at all, to hurt Jackie...you will die."

"Okay."

"No but I want you to truly get what I mean when I say die. Do you understand what I mean?" Hyde pressed, moving a bit closer.

Fez nodded. "Yes. I'm pretty sure I have a clear understanding. Die is very self explanitory."

"Oh Okay. Good." Hyde smiled, patting Fez roughly on the shoulder. "Good talk. We should do this more often."

"You betcha." Fez agreed, as Hyde turned around to leave. "Thanks for stopping by buddy." Fez called after him, still standing with his back pressed against the wall. As soon as he was out of sight, the apartment door swung open and Jackie came rushing out.

"Oh my gosh! Fez!" Jackie screeched with excitement. "That was so great!"

"Yeah. Great." He sighed, shuffling into the apartment.

Jackie came skipping in behind him and gave him a huge hug. "Do you know what this means?" She questioned, not waiting for his answer. "This means that Stephen really does still care about me."

"Okay then. Can we stop the plan now?" Fez wondered hopefully.

"No. Are you kidding? We can't stop now! We've got him right where we want him!" She beamed, clapping her hands together. "He knows he still cares, now we just have to push him far enough that he'll do something about it!"

"I have a feeling that this may end badly for me."

"Come on. We have to get ready for the New Years Party tomorrow. I'm gonna get my pudding pop back" She announced proudly.
