Chapter 1- A visit to Jackie's
Hyde sat in the basement bored out of his mind. It was the first day of summer vacation and there was nothing to do! Eric and Donna had left for California where they would be spending the summer with Donna's mom Midge. Fez and Kelso had decided to take a road trip to Kenosha to cruise for chicks. Hyde couldn't believe he didn't go with them. At the time it had seemed like a stupid idea that would probably end with them broke down on the side of the road with no gas because Kelso forget…typical of him.
Hyde looked around the room. He spotted a brown shopping bag and remembered Donna had given it to him to give to Jackie. It contained stuff Jackie had left at Donna's house over the past year. Donna didn't have a chance to give the things back herself so Hyde was left with the dirty work. Such a simple thing as returning a bag made him groan. It was another reason to see Jackie. She was all over him lately, "oh I love you Steven……come shopping with me Steven…….let's go roller skating Steven…." Hyde couldn't stand it! But there was absolutely nothing to do so he got up and grabbed the bag, heading for Jackie's.
When Hyde arrived at Jackie's mansion it seemed to be deserted, her parents car was gone but then he noticed Jackie's out back. He groaned as he got out of his El Camino and trudged to the front door and rang the bell. Ana, their maid answered the door.
"Is Jackie there?" Hyde glanced around the porch but saw no one.
In her broken English Ana told him Jackie was in her room upstairs, second door on the right with the "horsy" on the door. Hyde assumed it was a unicorn being Jackie and all.
When he reached her door he took a deep breath and knocked lightly.
"Come in." He heard Jackie call from her room. When he walked in and Jackie saw who it was she jumped up in excitement.
"Oh Steven what are you doing here?…Ohhh you came to ask me out didn't you?" Jackie bounced over to Hyde who stood stiffly against the door.
"Nooo, Donna left you this, some girly crap or something." He muttered.
"Oh," Her face fell, "thanks though." Hyde couldn't help but feel slightly sorry for Jackie. He wanted to reach out and touch her but immediately told himself not to be stupid, he hated Jackie for God sake! His thoughts were interrupted. It was Jackie asking him if he wanted something to drink. Hyde was hot, so he agreed. He followed a chattering Jackie to the back kitchen of her house. She was going on and on about some cheerleading thing, if you wanted gossip go to Jackie.
As they sat on the sundeck off the kitchen and drank lemon-aid, the doorbell rang. Hyde looked at Jackie expecting her to answer it, hoping rather, so she would stop talking for two seconds.
"Ana will answer it." Jackie nodded and started telling Hyde about some really cool new movie that was out. He knew she was hinting at an invitation. He thought about it for a moment and actually considered asking her when Ana came through the door.
"Jackie come, something wrong." Ana eyes where full of worry and she wrung her hands in her apron. Jackie shrugged her shoulders and looked at Hyde.
"I'll be back in a minute, she probably just burned something. This happens all the time."
A minute later just as Hyde was draining his glass, he heard Jackie's screams. He jumped up and ran out to the door in time to see Jackie collapse crying on the floor.
