A/N: Hey guys! Never fear, I am not abandoning Poison Ivy. I just felt like starting this one because I've had the idea in my head for ages! It's a redo of season one's Ski Trip episode done JH style! The whole Hyde chasing after Donna thing always made me sick. Not to mention Jackie running back into Kelso's arms after he cheated on her with the nasty, Pam Macy. It just doesn't make sense. So I'm fixing it! It shouldn't be too long of a fic, similar to my Prom Night and Halloween stories. Well, I hope you like it!
This is the way it should have gone since it was obvious from day one that JH were meant to be together forever!
Chapter 1: A Surprising Turn of Events
God she's annoying. Hyde thought to himself as he listened to Jackie screech angry words at Kelso for kissing Pam Macy. Kelso cheated? What a shock! His sarcasm overwhelming his thoughts.
"I can't even show my face in the third floor bathroom anymore, and that's the cool bathroom!" Jackie pointed her delicate finger up at her tall boyfriend.
Hyde's shaded eyes traced a line from the tip of her finger, up her arm and down her entire petite form. He admired her flowing dark hair. Despite layers of clothing, he noticed her slender body, and then there was her face. Even contorted with anger, it radiated beauty. Her features, sheer magnificence. There was no doubt about it, Jackie Burkhart was stunning. And then she opened her mouth…
"No no no no no Michael, you won't be skiing this weekend."
Great going Kelso, You screwed us all. Hyde watched as Jackie took a seat in between Eric and Fez on the couch.
"That's just great Jackie! Cancel the ski trip and disappoint all our friends!" Michael Kelso exclaimed.
"Oh no, We're still going."
As the cries and whines of his friend filled the room, Hyde couldn't help but smirk in pride at the tiny brunette. He never understood why she put up with Kelso's crap. Sure she was annoying as hell, but she was really hot. It wouldn't be hard for her to find another lame ass boyfriend. As for him, he was going to take this opportunity to try to get Donna. Sure, Eric announced his intentions of making out with the voluptuous redhead over the weekend, but they weren't officially dating. Hyde knew that his feelings for Donna were mostly friendship. She was easy to talk to, and on top of that she was hot. He never believed in that fiery passion people talk about love being. He wasn't even sure that love really existed. His parents sure never felt it for him.
Jackie fought with her entire body to not burst out in a fit of tears. She didn't want to give Michael the satisfaction of seeing her cry, even though she was hurt deeply. How could he humiliate her like that? She had tried to be the best possible girlfriend she could be, but it wasn't enough for him. She couldn't help but wonder if it was that she still hadn't had sex with him. They had come close several times, each time Jackie pulled away. For some reason it never felt right. She told herself it was just the lack of a banner, but deep down she feared it may have been much more than that. Her eyes slowly rotated to the strange curly haired boy her boyfriend was friends with. He was always so mysterious with his sunglasses on. Jackie couldn't help herself from always wondering what he was thinking as he sat with a permanent scowl upon his face. For some reason, unbeknownst to herself, she was drawn to this odd boy from the wrong side of the tracks. The Burkharts had taught their daughter that poor people were bad, but what if this boy was a good kind of bad? Was that even possible?
The following day the gang, minus Eric and Kelso, gathered their things and packed them into the Vista Cruiser.
"Hey Donna, I brought my double sleeping bag." Hyde smirked at the redhead.
"Great, can Eric and I borrow it?!" She blew him off.
Jackie watched the scene play out as Fez compared Hyde to Charlie Brown and the football. She heard Hyde say that he didn't get it. Though she herself could hardly fathom the Donna/Eric relationship, she understood what it was that the taller girl got from Eric, a gentility it seemed the rebel could never provide.
As they piled into Eric's car, Jackie watched as her moronic ex insisted that the entire thing was merely a joke, a clever burn on Eric's part. She wondered how she could have been so blind to his denseness. She looked over to her left at Steven Hyde. They were pressed close together in the back seat since Red had forced a big box of crap at Eric, fearing the worst could happen. Hyde placed his arm behind her. Why did she wish he would wrap it around her?
As Hyde placed his arm behind Jackie's headrest, his hand grazed her smooth hair. Why did he have the instinct to run his fingers through it?
"I know I'm pretty. I don't need him for that." Jackie announced.
Hyde found himself irritated at her constant ramblings about her ex-boyfriend. He knew it was only a matter of time before she took the idiot back, not that he cared.
Kelso stood on the side of the snowy road with his thumb in the air. He was determined to make his way to Jackie's cabin and have it out with Eric for leaving him…oh and he might as well get Jackie back in the process. Just then a truck pulled over. He opened the door and hopped in, relieved to be out of the cold.
"Hello." He grinned at the heavyset male driver.
"Why hello there!" He responded, Kelso not noticing his flirtatious tone.
"So are you heading up the mountain?" He asked the driver.
He smirked "I'm going wherever you're going."
"Wow that's lucky!" Kelso cheered.
"So did it hurt?" The man asked him.
"Did what hurt?"
"When you fell down from heaven." The trucker eyed Kelso up and down as he spoke.
Kelso laughed "No, I'm fine!"
"You sure are."
After Eric managed to get the Vista Cruiser out of the ice, the five friends made it to the cabin. Hyde handed Fez a bottle of Amaretto.
"Oh it is like liquid candy!" He began guzzling it.
"Listen Donna, you and Eric can have the bedroom. It was going to be for me and Michael, but…" Jackie burst into tears and plopped on the couch.
Hyde sat in the chair and attempted to ignore the cheerleader's cries. For some reason he hated seeing her cry.
"I miss Michael." She whined.
Hyde rolled his eyes. "Get over it, princess."
She gasped "What did you say?!"
"I said get over it already. It's one damn weekend without him. Big freakin' deal."
"God Hyde…you are so mean." She buried her head in a pillow as her tear storm increased.
He sighed "Crap." He went to sit next to her on the couch. Instantly her arms were around him. This took him by surprise. He patted her gently.
"If it's any consolation, Pam Macy would give it up to anybody."
"Oh my god!" She screeched as she ran into the bedroom and pounced on Donna and Eric.
"Jackie, what's the matter?" Donna asked with concern.
"Hy-Hy-Hyde…"
Donna understood immediately. "I'll be right back."
She made her way out to the living room with fire in her eyes "Hyde, what the hell?!"
"What?" He asked as he approached the angry girl.
"What did you say to Jackie?"
"I just told her that Pam Macy was easy. That's all."
"That's all?! You think that would make her feel better, knowing that her boyfriend probably had sex with that skank? What's the matter with you?" She shouted.
"Jesus Donna, I was just trying to help. How come every time I try to be nice I get the shit end of the stick, but Forman can't do anything wrong?" He shouted back.
"This has nothing to do with Eric!" She implored
"Yeah it does. What is it about him that you like so much?" He asked genuinely before crashing his lips onto hers.
She pulled away quickly and slapped him "Do not do that again! I am with Eric so just deal with it!"
At that moment the phone rang. Eric came out and picked it up "Hello."
"What is it, Kelso? Wait, you what? Who kissed you? A trucker? Okay, where are you now? Fine, we'll come get you. Yeah bye."
He hung the phone up and spoke up to the fuming Donna and Hyde and the drunken dancer Fez.
"Kelso tried to hitch a ride here with some trucker and I guess the guy kissed him."
Hyde laughed out loud "Kelso got kissed by a dude? That's a great burn."
Donna eyed him angrily "So where is he?"
"He's at the gas station at the bottom of the mountain. I said I'd go pick him up." Eric answered.
"Well, I'm going with you." Donna insisted as she glared at Hyde.
"I wish to come too. The liquid candy has given me a sense of vigor!" Fez sashayed over to Eric and Donna.
"Fine. You stay here with her, and try to be nice." Eric warned Hyde as the threesome left the cabin.
Hyde sighed as he heard the car pull away. He decided to just sit on the couch and read until the gang returned. With any luck, Jackie would stay in the bedroom until her knight in shining armor showed up. Then she could run into his arms and forget his cheating ways. Just as Hyde picked up his magazine, the lights went out. The cabin was completely dark except for the failing light of the small fire. He heard a whimper. He turned to make out the shadowy form of Jackie in the bedroom doorway.
Hyde stood up to face her in the dark "The storm must have knocked out the power."
She bridged the gap between them "There's a generator outside."
He nodded "Okay, I'll get it working."
As he began to walk away he felt her cling tightly to his back "No, don't leave me!"
He sighed. She sounded like a scared little girl. He turned to face her.
"Hey, I'm not leaving you, okay? I just want to get the power back on." He whispered softly.
She hugged him tightly to her as she breathed in his soothing scent "Okay."
"Okay. Wait here." He instructed as he exited the cabin.
Meanwhile the others found Kelso and were attempting to make their way back when they noticed the roads were blocked off. As they pulled the car up to the orange cones, an officer came up to Eric's window.
"I'm sorry you can't go through here. The storm has gotten too bad."
"But we need to get up to my friend's cabin." Eric replied..
"I'm sorry. No one will be able to get through here at least until tomorrow, possibly Sunday. There's a motel down the street." The officer informed them.
"Okay thanks."
"What are we going to do?" Eric asked the group.
"Well, Hyde and Jackie are up there. We can't just leave them, so I say we just stay at the motel tonight." Donna spoke rationally.
"Alright! I call bed with Donna!" Kelso shouted enthusiastically.
Donna smacked him "Kelso! It's not like calling shotgun!"
Kelso rubbed his arm "God Donna!"
"Alright, we'll stay at the motel tonight and try again tomorrow." Eric said decisively.
Up at the cabin, Jackie sat curled up on the couch, nervously. Hyde returned, and she jumped up.
"Well, what happened?" She asked.
"That damn generator doesn't work." He huffed "You got any candles?"
She nodded "Uh yeah" Jackie made her way to the kitchen and grabbed as many candles as possible. Hyde pulled out his lighter and lit them, illuminating the room.
"Where are they? They should have been here by now." Jackie asked apprehensively.
"Look the storm is pretty bad out there. They probably closed off the roads. They will probably have to stay down there tonight."
"Oh…so it's just you and me?" She asked nervously.
He sighed "Yeah I guess so."
She nodded "Well, I'm kind of hungry."
"I'll see what you got in the fridge. We better eat it. It'll all go bad anyway."
They made their way into the kitchen "I'm sure I can find something to make."
"Thanks…Steven."
He shuddered at the sound of his first name. He loved it when she called him that. Though he would scarcely admit it.
He smiled at her "Anything for you doll."
To be continued…
