Hi people! This is my first attempt at 70's fanfiction, but I have been watching the show since like the beginning. I am fair warning you that I am a stickler for Jackie and Hyde. I wanted to hate them at first because it was kinda gross, but the TPTB totally made me see things in a different light as the season went on. Don't be surprised if I throw in some things from previous episodes such as Donna Eric promise ring stuff, Dine and Dash ( Y'all know what I'm talking about), Hyde taking Jackie to the First prom, and Fez's psycho chick Caroline ( Caroline is so not a psycho name b/c that's the name my parents gave me at birth!) Etc... I hope you all enjoy my take on the gang from Wisconsin! Love y'all and review! It would be much appreciated!
The bell rang for fifth period as the six friends were getting up from the lunch table. By apparently a miracle of God or Jackie's begging, Hyde was actually at school. The tardy bell rang and Hyde and Jackie walked in late.
" Oh look it's Captain and Tennille! I'm glad you both decided you'd grace us with your presence Mr. Hyde Miss Burkhardt. Would you mind telling us why you were late for class?" asked Mike Jacops their language arts' teacher " No smart remarks about saving our country from the FBI please Mr. Hyde."
" I was showing Steven some of my cheerleading moves." blurted Jackie
" Splits and toe touches right Jackie!" Catcalled Pam Macy
" The ones that you originated Pam!" burned Hyde
" That's enough. Take your seats. Before Jackie and Hyde graced us with their presence, I was about to tell you about a new project. You'll have a group of six and you and your group will read and analyze the poem " The Wasteland" by T.S. Elliot. Then you will rewrite the poem using some of the original dialogue and relate it to your relationships whether your friends, dating, or hate each other. I had you do this because Elliot was writing about losing his lost love and debating on killing himself. Your groups are posted at the back of the room. I hope you'll be pleased with them and no swapping. It's due a week from today or next Friday."
" Steven, we're in the same group as Eric, Fez, and Michael!" squealed Jackie with glee
" Yeah, now I'm sure to get an 'A'!" said Fez sarcastically
" Man, we got Terrance Andrews!" exclaimed Kelso in disgust
" Who?" said the four of them
" The captain of the chess team and the math team. Not to mention his status of getting shoved into lockers!" he replied
" Hi guys. So we're in the same group. I can assure you an 'A' and you won't have to do a thing!" said Terrance slightly scared walking up to the group
" It's a group effort. We're all going to the basement after school. You can come and work with us there." said Kelso
" That's really nice of you, but won't Hyde kill me?" he whispered
" No, Jackie will keep him detained."
" What about me? You guys, I got our copy of the poem." said Jackie
" Jackie Burkhardt," he exclaimed " you're even hotter up close!"
" Horny bastard!" said Fez
Hyde gave him the " I'll kick your ass if you if you say that again look"
" Steven, be nice. Don't scare him like that," she turned to Terrance " he's really just a big teddy bear and I know!"
" Why are you being so nice to me?" he asked
" We want a good grade!" they all replied at once
" Figures." he said dully
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" Hey Mrs. Foreman." They all replied coming into the kitchen except Terrance not knowing his surroundings
" Hey kids you have another friend!" she exclaimed
" This is Terrance Andrews. He's working on a project with us."
" That's nice. You go on down to the basement and I'll bring you a snack later."
" Good God another one! How many kids are living in this house, 50?! How many kids are we gonna shelter, Kitty?!" exclaimed Red coming in to read the paper
" Don't worry about him he's just a big grouch. Donna's waiting for you down there."
" Great Mrs. F," said Hyde " Maybe she'll be of some help to us. Elliot is like her favorite poet."
" Bye Mom." said Eric as the group began to walk downstairs
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As they reached the basement, the sound of The Doors " Light My Fire" filled the air along with it's usual unairfreshened scent.
" This place reeks!" asked Eric " Mom or Red hasn't been down here, have they?"
" No just me and who's the weirdo?" she asked giving Paine an odd look
" Captain of the chess team, need I say more?" said Kelso
" He's working on a project in Jacop's class. He's got like a 4.0!" said Eric
" Language arts? I could help. Which poet? I am assuming correctly that it's a poetry project."
" T.S. Elliot, " The Wasteland" I thought you might have read that." said Eric knowing she had
" I love " The Wasteland", but we don't have to work on it now do we?"
" No, let's just hang for a while. We have to keep Kitty and Red out of here for one. One whiff and you know they'll blame it on me!" exclaimed Hyde
They walked over and sat in their regular seats and forgetting that Terrance was in the room. The regular: Hyde in the lawn chair with Jackie in his lap, Eric and Donna on the couch, Kelso on the back of the couch, and Fez in the other lawn chair.Terrance just stood their waiting to talk
" You're Donna Pinciotti, right?" said Terrance
" Yeah, I used to go to Point Place, but my dad sent me to the Catholic girls school across town."
" I know. The guys in the chess club used to talk about how Foreman didn't deserve you and how your group was always too high society for us. They also talked about how Hyde would someday admit his feelings for Jackie because after the Veteran's Day barbecue, when you went on that date, Hyde really was lying to you when he said he didn't feel anything and you were partially lying to yourself. We always thought you and Hyde were perfect for each other."
The gang, everyone except Hyde and Jackie, began to burst into fits of laughter. The couple was definitely not laughing.
" That is the funniest crap I have ever heard!" said Donna " Hyde and Jackie...perfect? Get real!"
" Hyde? Steven Hyde? Our Hyde?! Steven "special stash" Hyde and Jackie "get your kicks on route 69" Burkhardt, perfect for each other?" exclaimed Eric completely astonished
" BURN!" yelled Kelso
The couple just tensed up and gave their friends a vicious stare
" You know guys," said Fez " you know what would make this moment more pleasant? Candy!!"
" Let's go get a burger Steven! We don't have to take this!" said Jackie
" You guys don't leave ! We have a project to work on." said Eric
" I do think there is something we could do instead." said Hyde with an evil grin
" Can we welcome Terrance into our little circle? He's got virgin lungs!" said Kelso
" If he'll go for it."
" Go for what?" asked Terrance
The six friends looked at him with a smile
*~*~*~* 360 Circle*~*~*~*
" You know guys this stuff is awesome! We never do this in Chemistry club!" said Terrance
" Man, Terrance, did you know there's this car that runs on water man and the government is hiding it from us? It's like a total violation of our rights as citizens to not have a car that runs on water, man!" said Hyde
" It's like the Millennium Falcon, Man!" said Eric
" Can we please not go through this again! Terrance doesn't need to hear about cars that run on water and Star Wars!" exclaimed Jackie " He needs to hear about.....hmm."
" Man, he needs to hear about candy! Now that he's in our circle and he's passed initiation, he needs to give me candy!" said Fez
" Fez, man, we need to make Terrance cool! By hanging out with us, we can make him popular!" said Kelso
" I agree and whip cream is like the best food in the world!" said Donna squirting whip cream in her mouth
" Now that I think about it, cars that run on water are sexy!" said Jackie crawling in Hyde's lap
" Eww, can you please halt the making out until after we're out of the circle! The circle is sacred!" said Donna
" Man, if she shoved her tongue any farther down Hyde's throat, we'd have to do a search and rescue in his mouth ,man!" said Terrance
" I'm so impressed with your progress Terrance!" said Kelso
" Did Kelso just say impressed?" said Eric
" Did Kelso just say progress?" asked Donna
" I did like the idea though." said Jackie breaking from Hyde
" Man, I could make a man out of him , man." said Hyde
" Wait, did Kelso just come up with a good idea?" asked Donna
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Well, that's it for now. I kinda like it ending in the circle. Anyway, PLZ review! It would be much appreciated! You know you wanna go push the go button. It was so much more fun before they changed it! It was purple! LOL- not-so-dumb-blonde
