The gang was in Eric's basement, Emily and Hyde sitting in their worn out chairs, holding hands while Emily drank a Coke and Hyde read the News Paper. Donna sat on the couch with Eric on the arm next to her. Kelso was sitting next to Donna with Jackie sitting on his lap. Fez was standing behind the couch.
"Okay, Michael, I want you to take me to the movies today." Jackie said, looking at Michael as he read movie times in the News Paper. Emily frowned, she has recently found out Jackie and Derek broke up. She wanted to strangle Jackie for going back to Kelso, but it's her life. She needs to learn from her mistakes.
"Way ahead of you Jackie! Smokey and the Bandit at 2 o'clock." Kelso smiled.
"No. No, no, no, no, no. I told you, I don't want to see that again." Jackie said, shaking her head, "I don't like the sound."
Donna turned to Eric, "Do you want to see The Goodbye Girl?"
"Well, I would - but it has to basic flaws. No Smokey; and No Bandit." Eric smiled and him and Kelso high-fived.
"Yeah! Plus, isn't The Goodbye Girl like a girl movie?" Kelso smiled his open mouth smile.
Hyde shook his head and looked up from his news papers, "You moron. A girl movie is a make-out movie. Right Emily?"
"Sure. Whatever you say." Emily smiled and took another sip of her Coke.
"Oh, I'm in then!" Kelso smiled.
"So am I. I will come and watch." Fez smiled. Everyone looked at him. Hyde and Emily snickered.
Red and Kitty walked in from the bottom door of the basement. Jackie got off of Kelso and walked to the shower.
"Okay! Tee minus one hour till the garage sale!" Kitty smiled and walked behind the couch.
"Oh," Kitty laughed a little, "I feel like an astronaut."
Red went over to the cooler where they had some of the garage sale things in boxes. Red picked up a box with Roller Skates and old nick nacks. Kitty stopped him and looked in the box.
"Ooh! Eric wanted these Roller Skates. Ooh, the yo-yo. Oooooh! Your plastic vomit!" Kitty smiled at all the things.
"Yeah," Red turned to Eric while Kitty went to pick up another box, "You made me waste a lot of my money, Eric."
Eric nodded, "Yeah. Me and my damn childhood."
"You know Mrs. Forman. I feel really bad. You know, with you letting me stay here and everything. I wish I had something I could contribute to the garage sale." Hyde said, putting down the News Papers and taking Emily's hand.
Kitty smiled at him, "Oh, Steven. Your smile is contribution enough."
Hyde smiled before Red walked over to him and handed him a heavy box, "No it's not! Run this upstairs."
Hyde frowned and looked down at the box, "Yeah, Kelso. Move it." Hyde got up and threw it over to Kelso. Kelso struggled to steady it. Kelso looked around to throw it to someone else, but there was no one else.
"Uh - Dad? Me and Donna are going to see The Goodbye Girl." Eric hopped over the back of the couch and walked over to his father. Red looked at him weird. There was a long pause.
"Yeah, well I'm sure it's a great movie, Eric. But you're going to be helping with the Garage sale. Supporting." Red poked Eric's chest.
"Oh, right. We're having a Garage sale because you lost your job - I mean - did - because all the clutter." Eric covered himself.
"Everybody needs to work, Eric. The gravy train has made it's last stop." Red said.
Eric shook his head, "Okay, wait, there was a gravy train?"
Red smiled, "Yup, and you missed it." He slapped Eric's upper arm.
"Oh! I've got a good idea, Steven! You can sell Lemonade." Kitty smiled at him. Emily snickered, she knew what was about to happen.
"Actually, Mrs. Forman, I've thrown a lot of rocks at kids who sold Lemonade. Lord knows I hate a hypocrite!" Hyde said, turning his body to Kitty.
Kitty thought, "Than how about a bake sale?"
"I pretty much beat up any kid selling anything." Hyde said.
"Oh, Steven! You could just do a little table with some cookies and brownies." Kitty started to fold clothes.
Hyde shook his head, "I'm not much off -….Brownies?…I could make Brownies!" Hyde stood up, making Emily laughing hysterically (which made everyone look at her weird), "Because people love Brownies!"
Eric walked behind Hyde, "No they don't."
Hyde turned to him and smiled, "Oh! They love my Brownies!"
They both stared each other down.
"Well, that would be a perfect idea!" Kitty said, she walked over to Red and whispered something to him. He nodded and they both walked up the stair.
Emily drank the rest of her Coke and got up, "I'm helping with the Brownies!" Emily laughed. Hyde smiled and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

Hyde opened the oven and pulled out the Brownies, kicking the oven door closed with his foot. Emily was standing on the side of the counter, smiling like an idiot. Kitty was at the sink washing something off.
"Oh! They smell delicious!" Emily said.
Kitty agreed before making a comment about Hyde's mom abandoning him. Emily and Hyde looked at her weirdly.
"I mean, went on such a long trip." Kitty walked away and into the dinning room.
Eric walked in from the living room and growled, "Hyde! Oh, come on! I'm asking you not to make these brownies! I mean my mom and dad are-" Kitty walked in, holding a few large plastic plates for the Brownies, "Way to fat!"
Emily giggle and slapped Eric's shoulder as Kitty looked at him, flabbergasted, "Nice cover, Rinky-Dink."
"You know what, Eric! You just leave him alone! This is Steven's contribution to our garage sale!" Kitty said as Hyde pick up a bowl and started to mix the chocolate, "And…I happen to know you put the special ingredient in these Brownies." Hyde stopped mixing and all three teens looked at her.
"Special ingredient?" Hyde asked.
"I told him not to!" Eric said.
Emily just stared. Kelso walked in and stood behind Hyde, looking at all the chocolate batter.
"Yes! Loveeee!" Kitty laughed. Emily stayed silent as Eric and Hyde laughed. Emily was looking out the window at a person. He was tall, blond curly hair and tan skin. He was wearing a Blue Polo shirt with jeans and sandals. He was talking to Red. Emily held her breath and slowly backed up to the living room door before slipping in.
Hyde, Kelso, Eric, and Kitty didn't notice this.
Laurie walked in from outside and said, "Someone here is looking for Emily. I think his name was Alexander or some crap like that." Hyde and Eric looked at each other.
"Tell him she isn't here." Hyde looked at Laurie.
"Tell him yourself." Laurie walked over to Kelso.
"I'll tell him," Kitty said, walking outside.
"Wait, where's Emily?" Hyde said, "Eric, watch the Brownies." Hyde put the batter down and took off his gloves and went to look for Emily in the house.
"Hi, Kelso." Laurie said in a sexy voice. Eric made a gagging sound.
"Oh look. It's chocolate batter," Laurie dipped her finger in the batter and put it in Kelso's face, slowly bringing it down to her mouth, "I sure wish I could finish all this batter…but I just can't." Laurie put the finger in her mouth and sucked the chocolate off, "Oh, wait. Guess I can. Bye."
Laurie walked back outside.
"Man! I was so close." Kelso said.

Hyde searched for Emily in every room of the house before he finally went down to the basement.
"Em?" He walked down the stairs but she wasn't their. He was about to go back upstairs when he heard a noise from the storage room.
"Emily?" Hyde walked over to the storage room door and opened it. Emily was sitting on the floor next to the door. She was leaning on the wall, her knees up to her chest, her arms around her legs, and she was looking up at Hyde.
He closed the door behind him and sat next to her, leaning on the door, "He's here."
Emily looked down, "I know."
Hyde pulled Emily onto his lap and she rested her head on his chest.
"I'm scared." Emily whispered.
"You don't have to be. Stay with me until he leaves, I will protect you. Me, Kelso, Eric, and Donna will protect you," He pulled her closer to himself, "I promise. Nothing bad is going to happen. I love you to much to let something happen."
Emily smiled and kissed Hyde's cheek, "Thank you. I…I want to go upstairs now."
"You sure? I have Eric watching the Brownies." Hyde said.
Emily nodded, getting off of Hyde, "Yeah, I need to face my fears." Emily took Hyde's hands and helped pull him up.
"Okay, lets go than." Hyde took Emily's hand.

Donna and Fez were looking at the nick nacks at the garage sale when Eric came out with another box.
Donna walked over to him, "I can't believe you would rather stay here than go see a movie with me."
"Well, I'm glad we didn't," Eric pointed to Alex, "That's Alex. He's here for Emily."
Donna looked at him, "Shit! He's built like a Football player!"
"Who is Alex?" Fez asked, looking at the guy.
"Alex is here to take Emily away." Donna said.
"Away?" Fez asked.
"Back to New York." Eric said, he turned to Donna, "We have to keep Emily out of sight. Since it's impossible to drive her to The Hub, Hyde is with her in the Kitchen. I need you to guard the sliding door, okay?"
"Okay." Donna pulled Fez over to the door as Alex looked at Eric.
"I heard you mention Emily." Alex said to Eric.
Eric looked up at him, "Uhh - who?"
"Emily Sperling. I know she's here." Alex crossed his arms.
"I'm sorry. But I only know an Emily Hyde. Not an Emily Sperling." Eric said, crossing his arm.
Alex's eyes widened, "Emily Hyde?"
Eric paled, "Oops."
Alex grabbed Eric shirt and pulled him off the floor, "Tell me where she is. Now. Or else."
Eric swallowed and was about to say something before -
"Put him down, Alex!" Emily said from behind Eric. Hyde and Donna were standing behind Emily. Hyde has his arms crossed with an annoyed look on his face. Donna was furious.
Alex set Eric down and looked at Emily, "Hey, Emily." He put on a sexy smile, which only made Emily angrier.
"Why are you here?" She asked, closing her eyes tight behind her Aviators. She knew the answer, but she was mainly hoping this was just a 'Hi and Bye' trip.
"Your mother asked me to take you home. She will be there when we get back." Alex said, putting a hand out for her to take.
Emily licked her lips and felt her lip ring. I promise I will be with you in spirit.
I love you, Dad.
"No! I will not be controlled by you or my mother! I am not under her jurisdiction anymore! I have a new family! New friends! I have a fiancé that I love and intent to marry this year!" Emily said, sternly.
Alex looked at her with disgust, "Marriage? Bullshit! No one would ever want to marry you!"
"Hey-" Hyde was cut off.
"It doesn't matter who will marry me or not! What matters that you leave. Now. Or else." Emily crossed her arms and glared at him.
Hyde stared at her, this was so odd for him. A 4 foot 8 girl was fighting a guy over six feet. Hyde couldn't help but feel proud at Emily.
"Or else, what? You're going to talk me to dead?" Alex mocked her, smirking.
Emily frowned, she just realized she didn't have a plan.
"Or else I'll kick your ass." Hyde said, putting an arm around Emily. Emily looked up at Hyde and stared at him like he was her hero - which he was!
"I doubt you could kick my ass." Alex said.
"I took down Jamie. Why couldn't I take down you?" Hyde asked.
Alex stared at Hyde, "You didn't take down Jamie."
"Talk to him, maybe you'll notice his fucked up nose." Hyde said. Emily put a hand on Hyde's chest, resting her head on his shoulder.
Alex noticed this, "This is the guy you're marrying?"
Emily smiled and looked at Hyde, "Yes. Isn't he handsome?"
Alex balled his hands up into a fist. Before he was about to punch Hyde, Red came over.
"Hey, didn't I ask you to leave?" Red stood between the teens and Alex.
Alex looked at him, "Whatever." And he walked away and off the property.

Hyde and Emily sat at a small table near the wall of leaves. Brownies were on 4 different plates. 2 plates had 'special' Brownies, the other 2 had normal Brownies. Emily was leaning her head on Hyde's shoulder, with her eyes closed. Hyde was looking around the area to see if the prick Alex would come back. An adult looking teen walked over to them when he noticed the brownies.
Hyde looked at the Adult teen, "Do you now, or have you ever had an association with the Point Place Police Department?"
The Adult teen shook his head.
Hyde picked up the Spatchula and picked a brownie off of the 'special' brownies and put it on a napkin and handed it to him, "Enjoy. You got about thirty minutes to get some place safe."
The Adult teen nodded and thanked him before walking away.

Jackie, Kelso, Fez, and Donna were at the Movies while Eric helped clean up the garage sale. Emily and Hyde were in the basement, eating the left over 'special' and non-special brownies. Well, Emily already ate all the 'special' brownies (she thought they were the regular ones) and Hyde was stuck eating the crappy normal brownies.
"Oh man! Dude! These are amazing! They are quenching my thirst!" Emily laughed, laying on the couch.
Hyde rolled his eyes as he counted his money, "Hey, Em. Did you ever take that last batch out of the oven?"
Emily was giggling, "Uhh - no. Kitty said she was gonna get it for me." Emily started throwing her hands in the hair, "Dude! My hands are so…small and circular!"
"Emily! Those were special brownies!" Hyde said before he ran up the stairs and went to the Kitchen. Red, Kitty, Bob, and Midge finished more than half of the special brownies that were in the pan
"Shit." Hyde whispered. He went back downstairs and saw Emily was gone.
"Emily?" He heard a noise from inside the cooler. Hyde froze, "Oh god! Emily!"
Emily popped out of the cooler, holding a Coke, "Found it!" She laughed and tried to get out of the freezer but failed. Emily looked at Hyde, "…are you going to help or not poopy pants?"
Hyde shook his head and smirked. He walked over to the cooler and pulled Emily over his shoulder. She giggled and slapped his ass. Which only made Hyde laugh as he threw her onto the couch.
"Ooh! Again! Again!" Emily laughed. Emily put her Coke on the table and pulled Hyde down. He kissed her and pulled back.
"Drink your Coke, than I'll show you a fun time." Hyde got up and handed Emily her Coke.
"Hyde?" Emily sat up and opened the Coke.
Hyde sat next to her and pulled her onto his lap, "Yes?"
"Thank you. For today. Saving me for mean ol' mister Corral!" Emily giggled while drinking her Coke.
Hyde smiled, "I told you I would protect you."
Emily looked at him, "I know. But you've said that before, sometimes you do. Sometimes you don't. I think it depends whether you think it's worth protecting me from."
Hyde stared at Emily, racking at his brain. This was true. He had said it many times, and only protected her from a few.
"I…I…" Hyde looked down.
Emily saw this a put a hand on Hyde's cheek and moved his head to face her.
"Heidi. I loves you! Nothing will change that, whether you protect me or not! Because I know, deep deep deeeeeeeep down, wayyyyyyy down, you love me with all your heart." Emily smiled.
Hyde smiled a little, "You don't have to looked that deep anymore." He nudges her with his head as she took a sip of Coke.
She put her Coke down and kissed him, "Good, because I'm tired of digging in your body. So much blood and guts and crap."
Hyde laughed and kissed her, "Ready for a good time?"
"Of course!" Emily smiled as Hyde laid her down on the couch and crawled over her.
"HYDE!" Eric yelled, running down the stairs. Hyde groaned and got up, "What Forman?"
"My dad sold my Vista Cruiser!" Eric said, pointing at Hyde with an angry look on his face.
"Okay?" Hyde said.
Emily sat up and frowned, "Go away, Rinky-Dink! Hyde is trying to show me a good time!"
"Hyde, we're going to get my car back. Red has the check." Eric started back up the stair.
Hyde sighed and picked up Emily bridal Style as she giggled.
Hyde sighed, "Come on, Cupcake. Time to get Rinky-Dink's car back."
"Yay! It's time for an adventure!" Emily laughed.

"Hey! You said we were going for ice cream!" Red said as they walked down an apartment hall. Hyde was carrying Emily. She thought she was a Queen right now, her feet can not touch the floor.
"When we get the car back." Eric said as they stopped at a door with the number 4 on it.
"You know you did tell him you were gonna get him ice cream." Hyde said, smiling. Red took the Fire Extinguisher off it's rack and started to get it ready to spray.
"After," Eric said, "And you're not helping! And put that down, Red!"
Red sprayed the white fluff at Hyde and Eric's legs.
"Shit! That's freezing!" Emily said, holding onto Hyde.
"Whoa!" Red laughed, "That really shot out of there! Sorry." Red nodded his head and set it down on the floor. Eric knocked on the door.
"Oh! Oh! Listen," Red went over to Eric, "I don't want to do this."
"Well you have to!" Eric said.
"I'll wait in the car!" Red turned around but Hyde got in his way.
"No, no, Red. You have to learn to take responsibility for your own actions." Eric looked at Red before turning to the door.
"Well that's stupid!" Red complained.
The door opened to see a girl that looked exactly like Emily, but without the lip ring, "Yeah?"
The boys looked from the girl standing at the door, to the girl in Hyde's hands.
"Your dad buy a car this morning?" Eric asked.
"The Station Wagon? Yeah, he bought that crap for me." She said, crossing her arms.
"Well, you see. That was my car and-"
"Daddy! Where are the keys to that piece of crap!" The girl walked away from the door to get the keys.
The boys looked at each other and Emily smiled, "I like her!"
The girl came back and handed Eric the keys, "Give me his check."
They traded and the girl slammed the door shut.

Hyde, Emily, Eric, and Donna walked down the steps to the basement. Hyde opened the door and walked in, everyone following behind him.
"You got your car back, Forman. Are we cool now?" Hyde asked, pulled Emily over to him.
"Yeah," Eric nodded, "Yeah, I think you learned your lesson."
"Absolutely man." Hyde picked up Emily, "Now, if you excuse me. I promised this girl a good time and I'm going to give her that good time on the floor of Forman's room."
Emily laughed as Hyde carried her up the stairs and out of the basement.
