Chapter 1

New Year's Eve 1979

The count down to the new year had just ended.

Red grabbed hold of Kitty and gave her a big smooch throwing her a bit off balance.

Kelso and Hyde just looked at each other. Hyde scoffed at Kelso after he gave Hyde a sly smile then walked away.

Donna and Eric kissed despite all the issues that they have built up inside and aren't ready to talk about just yet. They are pretending for the night that it was like it was before.

Fez turns to Jackie. They are looking at each other. Fez goes to lean in and Jackie starts busting out laughing.

"What? What did I do? Do I have bad breath?" Fez asked with a questioning face.

"Fez, I'm sorry but I can't do this. I thought you and I would be great together because you know you basically worship me but I can't help but thinking of you just as a friend. I'm so sorry." Jackie replied.

"It's okay, it has been a bit weird with this whole transition. You are my goddess and I don't know how to be your boyfriend, it's just weird not viewing you from afar." Fez said.

"Friends?"

"Absolutely! Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going to go freshen up my drink." Fez said and walks away.

Hyde had been watching their exchange. For some reason he couldn't help but feel a bit happy that Fez and Jackie weren't going to work out.

I mean Fez and Jackie? Jackie needs someone with a firm hand not someone she can walk all over. She would have gotten bored with Fez eventually and at least this way everyone would stay friends without all the stupid drama.

Jackie looked sad though. Probably because she was back to being alone without a boyfriend. Hyde couldn't help himself when she looked like that so he approached her.

"Hey, uh, you alright?" Hyde asked, wondering why he was even asking in the first place.

"Yea. Fez and I just broke up." Jackie replied looking down with her arms crossed across her chest.

"Oh. Well, new year right?" Hyde said hoping that would get her to at least look at him.

Jackie looked up, "Yea. New year maybe something good will happen."

Hyde smirked at her, "Yea man you'll find someone. I mean we all had a bet on how long you and Fez would make it."

"Why am I not surprised?" She said smirking. "Who won?"

Hyde looked down at his watch then back to Jackie, "Uhhhh, I did."

"Huh." She replied looking back at him quizzically.

"Yea." He said looking directly into Jackie's eyes.

Jackie could tell even through his glasses that he was searching for something in her eyes. Like an answer or that twinkle she used to get when she used to look at him. Jackie was determined to not look at him like that. He didn't deserve an answer or a twinkle that would give him any kind of hope that she was interested in him.

Why would Steven be looking at me like that? We've been over for like ever it seems. I mean this guy married a stripper. What does he want from me? Ugh, I shouldn't be thinking about this. My life is so off track. A crappy job, no boyfriend. The only thing I have going for me right now is that I am pretty. I need to get my life on track before I even think about getting back together with Steven or I mean getting a boyfriend.

"I gotta go. I'll see ya okay." Jackie said walking away from him and saying good bye to everyone.

Donna was confused why Jackie was leaving early. She loved a good classy party and Mrs. Foreman was the queen of throwing them. Jackie usually always stayed later than everyone else at those parties. Donna couldn't really concern herself with that right now though. Eric was back and her head was swimming with questions. Eric smiled at her and she melted back into his arms.

The night ended pretty early. Kitty and Red had snuck off to their bedroom anyway and there weren't any ladies for the guys to mac on, so everyone called it a night around 1 am.
