Spoilers: All of season five. Including "You Shook Me." This occurs after Hyde tells Jackie that he cheated on her.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------

The gang, excluding Jackie and Hyde, is hanging out in the basement. Donna, Eric and Fez are on the couch, and Kelso is on the chair opposite Hyde's chair.

Donna: (asking Eric) So how is Hyde doing?

Eric: He hasn't came out of his room since he got home from talking to Jackie. I'm too scared to knock on his door. I break easy you know. (Pause) How is Jackie doing?

Donna: Fine, considering that her boyfriend cheated on her, for the second time (She finished looking at Kelso.

Kelso: Hey, don't blame me this time! For once, I didn't do anything wrong. Wait....(thinking).yeah, didn't do anything.

Donna: Well for once, you're right. I can't believe Hyde would do something like this. I mean it made since when Kelso did it.

Kelso: Hey!!!

Donna: (con't).but Hyde, it doesn't make since.

Fez: Poor Hyde.

Donna: Poor Hyde??? He's the one that cheated. This is his fault. Instead of talking to Jackie about what ever the hell was wrong, he decided to sleep with someone else. I mean who does that?

Fez: (raising his hand) Hyde???

Donna: Yes!

Hyde walks out from his room, walks to the freezer for a Popsicle, and sits in his usual chair. All the while, the others are looking at him.

Hyde (finally noticing them): What?

All looking away: nothing

Hyde: Good.

Eric: Look Hyde, We know things are bad with you and Jackie. (Everybody looks at him) Okay, REALLY bad with Jackie, but maybe there's a way you too can work this out.

Hyde: Forman, if I wanted you in my business I would tell you. But until then, get bent. Donna: Hyde, Eric is only trying to help.

Hyde: Thanks, but no thanks.

Eric motions at Donna, Kelso, and Fez to leave

Kelso: Eric, man what wrong with your neck. Do you need Fez to massage it. He gives a mean neck rub.

Fez: That's true. I do.

Donna, Eric, and Hyde all look strangely at Kelso and Fez.

Donna: Hey guys, I heard that they're having a wet t-shirt contest at the Hub.

Fez and Kelso look at each other and run out the door.

Donna: I better go. I told Jackie we could have a girl talk. God, help me.

Donna gives Eric a kiss on the cheek and walks out the door.

Eric (uncomfortably): So....

Hyde: You know what Forman, if you have something to say just say it?

Eric: Ok.what happened Hyde?

Hyde: Um.let me see..I cheated on Jackie. Jackie dumped me. Even you should understand that.

Eric: No. Hyde that's not what I mean. What happened with you? 6 months ago you wouldn't even look at anyone else. And now suddenly you're sleeping with someone else.

Hyde: Like I said before Forman. It's none of your business.

Eric: Fine. Fine. You don't want to talk about. Go ahead and sulk, but if you think being all Zen about it is going to help you get over it well then here (throws him the stupid helmet) It's your turn to wear this.

Eric begins walking up the basement stairs towards the kitchen as Hyde stars at the helmet in his hands.

Hyde: Forman.

Eric stops and looks at Hyde. After a few seconds he turns around and sits back down on the couch.

Eric: Yes.

Hyde: I saw Jackie and Kelso at Donna's place.

Eric: Yeah? And?

Hyde: They were alone.

Eric shrugs as if to say So?

Hyde: Together!

Eric: What's your point!?

Hyde (getting up): Never mind.

Eric (having a moment of clarity): Wait a minute! You walked into Donna's house, saw Kelso and Jackie together, and...OH MY GOD! You were JEALOUS!

Hyde: I don't get jealous.

Eric: Maybe not before.

Hyde: Not ever.

Eric: Okay. Okay. You weren't jealous. Then what happened.

Hyde: I went to work, and Kelso showed up. He said nothing was ever going on between him and Jackie, but I didn't believe him.

Eric: Why not?

Hyde: Earlier that day Jackie promised me she wouldn't be alone with him.

Eric: What does that have to do with believing Kelso?

Hyde: Jackie broke her promise.

Eric: So?

Hyde: Yeah, my logic doesn't make sense either.

Eric: So, you figured that if Jackie was lying to you then Kelso was lying to you too. Hyde: Yeah.I think.

Eric: So, because you saw Kelso and Jackie alone together you came to the conclusion that Jackie was going out with Kelso behind your back?

Hyde: Yes.

Eric: So, then you decided to get back at Jackie by sleeping with someone else?

Hyde (in a low whisper): Yeah

Eric: You do deserve this (handing him the stupid helmet)

Hyde: Well thanks for your help man (gets up again and starts walking towards his room).

Eric: You don't get it Hyde.

Hyde: Get what?

Eric: Why she's more upset with you then she ever was with Kelso.

Hyde: What the hell are you talking about Forman?

Eric: Just listen to me Hyde. Kelso cheated on Jackie. Kelso cheated A LOT on Jackie. But she was always able to forgive him. And why was that?

Hyde: I don't know Forman, why?

Eric: Because he never did it too hurt her.

Hyde: Okay I know my logic didn't make sense, but you're just talking out of your ass.

Eric: Kelso, being the idiot that he is, never cheated on Jackie with the intention of hurting her. You did.

Hyde (angrily): I'm still not following you Forman.

Eric: You cheated on Jackie in order to get back at her. You figured if it hurt you seeing her with someone else. It would hurt her just as much. You wanted revenge. Kelso just wanted to do it. He never had an ulterior motive.

Hyde (looking like someone had just punched him in the stomach): I did.

Eric (pointing at him): You did. (He exits)

Hyde stays stuck to his chair staring off in oblivion.

Donna's house. Donna walks into her room where Jackie is laying on her cot/ It's obvious she had been crying.

Donna (quietly and with concern): Jackie?

Jackie (sniffling): Please go away Donna. I don't want to talk about. (She turns with her back to Donna.)

Donna: You don't want to talk? (To herself) man, this is really bad.

Jackie: I mean it Donna. Just leave me alone. I don't want to talk, and I especially don't want to talk about Steven.

Donna: I can't believe I'm saying this, but you're going to have to talk someday.

Jackie: And today's not it.

Donna: Fine. Then just get out of bed at least.

Jackie: What's the point? What's the point of anything? You know what now I understand what Steven has being saying about love all these years. (Begins to cry) It's just a tool. Something to make us think that there's something worth living for. Love. Ha. There's no such thing. (Fully crying now) I don't love Steven. He can sleep with who ever the hell he wants. See if I care. Because I don't. I don't. (pause) But I do. Why did he do it Donna? Why?

Donna: I don't know Jackie. Maybe you should go talk to him.

Jackie: I can't even look at him right now let alone talk to him.

Donna: But you're never going to know what happened until you do.

Jackie: Maybe I really don't want to know.

Donna (Sitting down on the bed next to Jackie): That's completely up to you.

Jackie: I don't know what I want to do. I don't know what I want.

Donna: Is there anything you do know?

Jackie (Looking at Donna through tears): That I love him.

Donna: Then maybe you should go from there.

Jackie looks at Donna and sighs.

Basement. The gang is hanging out, excluding Jackie. Jackie enters the basement. Hyde looks up and meets her eyes. Eric, Donna, Kelso, and Fez look at Jackie, then at Hyde, then at Jackie again.

Eric (Feeling the tension): Hey guys how about we go grab a bite at the HUB.

Kelso: Nah.I'm not hungry (Donna frogs him) but I could eat a hamburger.

They all leave, leaving Jackie and Hyde alone.

Hyde (never taking his eyes off her): Hey.

Jackie: Hey. I just came by to give you this back (She tosses his the t- shirt she's been holding)

Hyde (realizing that it's his favorite Led Zepplin shirt he gave her): Jackie I don't want this back

Jackie (Trying to keep her composure): Well, that's too bad because I don't want it.

Hyde: Jackie.

Jackie (Interrupting): Steven, just don't. I don't want to hear your excuses, and I don't want to hear you say you're sorry. I just want to know why?

Hyde (not looking her in the eyes): I don't know.

Jackie: That's bull Steven. (Almost yelling). Tell me the truth. I deserve that.

Hyde: You want to truth Jackie?! (Jackie nods forcefully) Fine. The truth is I didn't trust you ok. I saw you and Kelso together and I just snapped.

Jackie (With more anger than before): So you slept with someone else?!?!

Hyde: What else was I supposed to do?

Jackie: You could have come to me. Talked to me about it. But no, instead you run away like a coward. (Trying to hold back the tears) I just hope that it was worth it. (Looking straight at Hyde) Was it?

Hyde (trying to keep his force steady): Jackie.

Jackie: Was it worth it Steven?!?!

Hyde looks at her with a lost for words.

Jackie (Angrily): Was. It. Worth. It?

Hyde: I.No.

Jackie (Looking at Hyde with tears in her eyes): That's too bad.

(Jackie turns around at walks out the basement door. Hyde continues staring at the door as the scene fades out.)
