Chapter One: Hyde Fills Us In

Place: Foreman's Basement

In the basement sits Hyde (on his chair), Eric (in the right of the couch), Fez (in the far right chair), Kelso (on the freezer), and Jackie (in the middle of the couch). The gang sits there watching reruns of the Brady Bunch.

Hyde looks at the rest of the gang and ponders about how the last nine months has changed them. He looks at Kelso first and thinks about how lucky Kelso is because if Point Place did not have a shortage of police men recently Kelso would have been fired for the stuff the gang pulled on Hyde's birthday. In the long run thou, Kelso has been able to more time with his daughter over the last nine months then he did before.

Hyde looks at Jackie and thinks how strange it is that just nine months ago that he and Jackie used to be together. Hyde did like her but the relationship was not strong in their final month, and Hyde decided to break it off about nine months ago. Yeah, there was about a month of awkwardness between them after the break up, but after that they both moved on.

Hyde looked at Fez and ponders out of all of the friends he hasn't changed a single bit over the past six months, minus that his candy bags have gotten larger than ever. Hyde also realizes that the Foreman's and Bob haven't changed much too. Mr. Foreman's muffler business is bringing in a lot of money now but nothing else new.

Hyde looks at Foreman and knows that Eric has probably changed the most out of anybody. Foreman and Donna broke up ten months ago when they realize that it wasn't working out, but since they have broken up before they didn't have a lot of weird awkwardness around each other. Eric has also changed physically; Foreman has muscles that weren't there before, not to say that he was now buff but he didn't look like a twig anymore. It was probably because Eric decided to work at his dad's shop, so that he could get in to the local junior college in the spring time. Mentally Foreman hasn't changed one bit. He still is a total nerd and still loves Star Wars.

The door rings and in walks Randy. Randy is probably the newest addition to the group, since he started to work at the Grooves about two months ago. Everybody instantly liked him, and Foreman probably liked him the most because Randy was a nerd also.

Randy closes the basement door, tosses some keys at Hyde and says "I locked up the store."

Hyde catches the keys and replies by saying, "Thanks man."

Randy rests on the head rest of the couch and says, "What are we watching?"

Eric says, "We are watching the Brady Bunch episode where Greg wants to become a pro baseball player."

Randy says, "Ah."

The basement door opens again and Donna walks in. Donna walks towards Hyde and says, "Hey baby."

Donna and Hyde kiss briefly on the lips before Donna sits on the couch seat closest to Hyde.

Hyde looks at Donna and thinks about how he got Donna. About two months after Jackie and Hyde's break up Hyde was at the Grooves working late that night and Donna came over with some food for him, paid for by the gang. Donna stayed a little while and chatted with Hyde for about an hour, and before Donna left Hyde asked her out on a date. To his surprise Donna said yes, and the rest just happened after that.

As the gang sat and watch the rest of the show. After the show was over, Eric got up, looked at Randy and said, "Hey they're showing Saturn III at the movie theater in twenty minutes. So we should probably go now."

Randy got up and said, "Okay let's go."

As Randy and Eric walked toward the door, Jackie got up and said, "Wait. Can I come along?"

The whole group looked weirdly at Jackie. Eric said, "Wait hold on, you want to come along with us and see a 'nerd' film?"

Jackie nodded her head and said, "Yeah."

Hyde, still looking oddly at Jackie, said "Why would you want to do that? Don't you hate 'nerd' movies?"

Kelso said, "Maybe she's not feeling well. You know once I wasn't feeling well and I ended up jumping off of my window."

Donna asked, "Don't you always jump out your window?"

Hyde answered, "Yeah, that's why we are in a basement, so Kelso can't jump off something that's ten feet high."

Kelso replies quickly, "I'm sure I could find something ten feet high and…"

Hyde interrupts Kelso by saying, "That's not the point. Jackie you do realize you are going to a 'nerd' movie?"

Jackie nodded and said, "Yeah."

Hyde asked, "And to state my earlier question, don't you hate nerd movies?"

Jackie said, "Well maybe if I went with Eric and Randy, they might help me understand what's going on in the movie."

Eric sighed and said "Fine you can come along."

After Randy, Eric and Jackie left the basement Donna immediately said, "Well that was weird."

The rest of the gang all nodded in agreement, but what they did know was how this little display of weirdness would end up changing the group dynamic forever.

AN: this was more of a prolog than the actual story, but I needed to create a background for the story.
