A/N: The need to write some younger J/H has been interfering with my need of updating Going Home. So I think if I start this, maybe it will help me update Going Home sooner. So this takes place the summer of S5, because who doesn't love doing a "how Jackie and Hyde could have hooked up" story? So here are the basics of what you need to know: Donna and Eric got back together so she didn't go to Cali. Kelso, still terrified of marrying Jackie, still left. He decided to take his little buddy with him, meaning Fez. So it's going to be a whole summer of Donna and Eric being lovey dovey while Hyde and Jackie sit around in disgust. I hope it's better than that sounded. I mean, it seems pretty awesome in my head, but that summary is a little icky. Anyway, please review and tell me what you think, I know the story of Hyde and Jackie and That Summer has been done a million different ways and a million different times, but it's a great story to tell and put your own spin on it. Any who, I hope you like it.
Summer. Point Place, Wisconsin. 1978. Forman's Basement.
Jackie opened the door. Her brow was furrowed and a look of disgust was planted on her face. Hyde was sitting in his chair arms folded, sunglasses on and a Popsicle in one hand watching TV. He looked up and saw Jackie, noticing her grossed out face.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" He asked, turning his attention back to the television.
Jackie moved to the couch, cringing. "So, I went over to Donna's because I needed her help with my break up letter to Michael. I mean she's the fabulous writer in the group right? So I figured she'd be able to help me think of a bunch of synonyms for cowardly, won't-marry-me loser, run-away-to-California jackass. I walk up stairs to her room, where the door was opened slightly. So I peeked inside real quick to see if she was awake right? And that's when I saw…Them." Jackie shook her head and closed her eyes, trying to get the image out of her head.
"Jackie, if you're talking about Donna's boobs, I've already seen them. They're really not that great either. I mean really, anything more than a handful is a waste." Hyde smirked looking over at Jackie again. He brought his eyes to her chest admiring her. "Lucky for me, I've got some pretty big hands."
Jackie noticed Hyde's eyes. She immediately brought her arms up to cover herself, feeling like she was wearing much less clothing than she actually was. "Eww, you perv. No. I wasn't talking about Donna's boobs. I was talking about Donna and Eric. Doing it. Ugh. I saw Eric's little bony white ass all in full on hump mode. I mean, sure it's great that those two finally worked things out, but they really need to chill on the whole sex thing. I do not want to spend my entire summer walking around with my hands over my eyes every time I walk into a room.
Hyde's face contorted, looking as disgusted as Jackie had when she first walked into the room. "Dammit Jackie, I really didn't need that image in my head. I mean just because you saw it doesn't mean I want to think about it. I agree with you about those two. If Forman thinks he's ditching me all summer to shack up with Donna, he's sorely mistaken. Even if he is the most girly guy around, he's all I got left. Since Kelso ran away from you and Fez cried until Kelso let him go too. I'm not gonna be stuck paling around with you all summer, that's a fate worse than death."
"If you think I want to be stuck with you this summer, you're more delusional than I thought you were." Jackie said rolling her eyes at Hyde.
"Good. I'm glad we're on the same page." Hyde said taking a bite of his Popsicle.
Jackie sighed. "What are we gonna do til' they get done?"
"Well, I'm gonna sit here and watch TV. I don't care what you do as long as it's quiet and doesn't effect my TV watching." Hyde said never taking his eyes away from the screen.
"Nah, I don't like that idea. Ooh! I gotta better one. How about you help me write my break up letter to Michael?" Jackie said scooting closer to him.
"No."
"But Steven.."
"No."
"Steven it'll be fun, I promise."
"Jackie, no."
"Steven." Jackie touched his arm to get Hyde to look at her, then she pulled her bottom lip out and widen her eyes and stared at him. "Pwwwease Steven."
Hyde knew he was in trouble as soon as her bottom lip started to quiver. Shit. "Fine! Dammit! But I'm only doing this because I like burning Kelso. That's the only reason Jackie, I'm not doing it for you ok?"
Jackie smiled and clapped her hands excitedly. "Yay! Ok, Steven. So how should I start the letter?"
"Well, why don't you start with what you've got so far? Dear, Cowardly, won't-marry-me loser, run-away-to-California jackass."
"Ooh! I like that. What should I write next?" Jackie asked writing out her greeting on the paper.
Hyde brought his hand up to his chin in a thinking pose. "Hmm…well, you definitely gotta call him a dilhole. A few times. And don't forget to call him a jackass a few more times. Mention something about how many guys you are gonna sleep with this summer, now that your single."
Jackie gasped. "Steven, I can't say that. That's a lie. I doubt I'm gonna hook up with any body this summer. I need time to get over Michael."
Hyde made a face. "Ok, but he doesn't need to know that. See doll, you gotta make him think that you're gonna be out partying up and that you're having so much fun without him. Make him think you don't miss him at all. Yeah, that'll make him feel like shit"
"Oh, I get it. Make him think I don't need him to be happy. I can add how exhausted I'm gonna be from how much partying and hooking up I'm gonna do. Because now that I'm single, all these guys are gonna be all over me. Yeah, that's sure to piss him off. Thank you, Steven. You're really good at this."
Hyde nodded. "Yeah, man. You're not to bad yourself. Don't forget to mention that fact that you hope he gets a disease from all the skanks he hooks up with in California. Because everyone knows that Cali girls, well at least the ones that will want to sleep with him, will have some kind of sexual disease. If we're lucky he'll catch something that's real itchy, that way we can all laugh at him when he comes home. Maybe like crabs or something. Yeah, that's funny."
Jackie threw her head back and giggled. "Oh, this is gonna be the best break up letter ever!!"
Back at the Pinciotti house.
Donna and Eric were lying on Donna's bed wrapped up in the blanket. Eric had his arms wrapped around Donna and was placing lazy little kisses on her shoulder. "And that M'lady, is how you do that." Eric said, laying another kiss on her shoulder.
Donna let out a soft giggle. "God, I can't believe I almost ran off to California. With Kelso nonetheless! I'm so glad you found me before I got in that van. I've missed being with you, like this so much." She turned around grabbing Eric's face for a soft kiss on the lips.
"You have no idea Donna. The time we've been apart was terrible. It was like Luke being pulled away from his fami…" Donna silenced Eric's rambling with another kiss, this time deeper.
"Eric, I love you and I've missed you, but I can't say that I've missed all that Star Wars stuff." She said laughing.
Eric gave her another kiss. "Uh huh, sure you didn't. Whatever you have to tell yourself." He said with a sarcastic grin. "So what do you want to do tonight? I vote for some of what we just did." This caused Donna to laugh again.
"We could, but my dad will be home in a few hours and I don't think he'd approve. Plus, a change of scenery might be nice." Donna said sitting up to look for her shirt.
"We can't go to my place Red would probably stick his foot up my ass if he walked in on us, and I'm sorry Donna, but that's an out hole, not an in."
Donna, finally finding her shirt, bit her lip. "Hmm…why don't we go to the movies?"
Eric sat up, pulling his shirt back over his head. "Ooh, movie sex, I like the sound of that."
"No you Dilhole. There's no way I'm having sex in a movie theater. I was thinking maybe we could actually go out tonight and do something else for a change. I'm getting a little tired over here." Donna said swatting at Eric who was trying to pull her shirt back off.
Eric puffed of his chest. "Yeah, poor thing. I know I'm pretty wild in the sack. You're right we should go out some fresh air and food would do us good. I'm skinny enough now, and will all the sex we've been having if I don't eat something soon I might get even skinnier."
Donna laughed. "We wouldn't want that now would we? You can barely be on bottom as it is."
Eric scoffed. "Did it ever occur to you that I like being on top?" Donna kissed him one more time before find her pants and standing up.
"So Hub for dinner and movies after?" Donna asked.
Eric, now fully clothed, moved to the door. "Sounds good. Oh, crap. Wait. I think I was supposed to hang out with Hyde tonight."
Donna sighed. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure I was supposed to hang out with Jackie and help her writer he break up letter. Ok, I've got an idea. We'll just make it a group night. That should be ok, right?"
Eric nodded his head. "Yeah. It should be fine. We'll just keep Jackie and Hyde on opposite ends of the room so they don't kill each other. It'll be a great time." He said going in for one more kiss. "Ok, so I'll cya in about 2 hours?"
Donna smiled. "Sounds like a date, a group date."
Eric left with a nod of his head. He was sure Hyde and Jackie would be fine. He hoped.
Back at the Basement.
Eric opened the door to the basement and was a little shocked at the sight he saw in front of him. Jackie and Hyde. Sitting on the couch. Getting along. He cleared his throat announcing his entrance. "Hey, just the two people I wanted to see." He said moving to the deep freeze.
As soon as she saw his face she started laughing. Picturing his white naked ass. She couldn't help herself.
Eric, now with a Popsicle. "What?"
Jackie brought her hand up to cover mouth as her giggling finally subsided. "Nothing." She looked to her right at Hyde who only smirked back at her. Knowing exactly what she was thinking about.
"Ok then. So what do you two say we all go out tonight?" Eric asked, moving to sit on the arm of the couch.
Hyde got up, moving to his chair suddenly feeling awkward sitting so close to Jackie. "If by go out you mean watch you and Donna grope each other all night long, I'll pass." He said crossing his arms.
"No, of course not. I think it would good for all of us to hang out tonight. Plus, I think I wore Donna out from earlier today." Eric said with a smile.
"That is so gross." Jackie said shaking her head.
"Ok, man I'll go tonight. It's not like I've got anything better to do." Hyde said with a shrug.
"Yeah, count me in too. Since Michael decided to be a complete moron and leave me here all alone, it's better if I go out and do things. That way I can't sit around and miss him." Jackie let out a sniffle. That Jackass.
"Cool. And I promise you guys, me and Donna won't be all over each other." Eric stated.
Jackie and Hyde just gave each other a knowing sideways glance.
Later that night. The Hub.
Eric and Donna were sitting as close together as possible. Any closer and she'd be in his lap. They were laughing and staring at each other as if no one else existed. Hyde watched on in disgust as Donna fed Eric a fry. 'Yeah. Ok. Group thing my ass', Hyde thought.
"Steven?" Jackie asked looking as grossed out at the couple in front of them as Hyde did.
"Yeah?"
"Is that what me and Michael looked like?"
Hyde looked away for the sake of saving his appetite. "Pretty much."
"Oh God. I am so sorry you guys had to put up with that." Jackie said finally pulling her eyes away from the heinous sight across the table.
"Yeah, that whole PDA thing is unnecessary. That's why I do all my business in private." Hyde looked over at Jackie with a smirk.
Eric, finally turning is attention to the group, spoke up. "Ok, you guys ready to go?"
"Does that mean that the you and Donna slobbering all over each other portion of the evening is over with?" Hyde asked.
Eric acted as if he were in shock. "I have no idea what you are talking about Hyde. Do you Donna?"
Donna wrapped her arms around Eric's neck giving him a quick kiss. "Nope."
"Ok, lovebirds! Let's just pay and leave before you make me sick." Jackie said grabbing her purse, getting up to pay her bill. She was slightly confused when Hyde snatched the bill from her hand. "What are you doing?"
"Well, I thought I'd pay you back for that time you took me to Sizzler." Hyde said not making a big deal out of the action.
Jackie's jaw dropped. "Oh my god. That was like a million years ago. You really don't have to do that." she said trying to grab her bill back, but failing as Hyde raised the hand holding the bill above his head.
"I know I don't have to. I just figure it's about time. It's no big deal, so don't make one ok?" Hyde said moving to the front and reaching for his wallet.
Jackie sighed and crossed her arms. "Fine, but I'm paying for both of us next time."
"Ok. Since I've got a feeling we'll be doing this 'group night'," he said using air quotes, "thing a lot, how about we switch on and off who pays?"
Jackie nodded her head. "Yeah, ok. Oh and when we get to movies we are so sitting a row or two in front of them. I really don't want those two ruining my movie viewing."
Hyde laughed as he opened the door for Jackie. "Sounds good to me, doll."
When they reached the Vista Cruiser Jackie had to advert her eyes once more. "Aw, c'mon you two! We have to sit in that car."
Hyde smiled again. He was happy that his friends were happy again. The few months they had spent apart he had to listen to Eric whine about Donna and Casey every day. Whining he couldn't handle. Bragging about sex, even if the image made him gag a little, was much better than whining. Maybe this summer wouldn't be so bad. He'd actually learned to tune out Jackie when she started rambling on about her hair, or her outfit or ABBA. She really wasn't that bad to hang out with after that. Plus, he wouldn't have any competition from Kelso for the lovely summer skanks that he loved so much. Yeah, summer might not be so bad after all.
So, I know this whole summer of hook up has been done a thousand different ways, and I'm sure mines not that original but I just had to get it out of my head to make more room for Going Home. If you like this little thing then you should review and let me know if I should continue this or not. So please review. I will love you forever if you do. : )
