A/n: So, I wrote this story about four or five years ago and recently rediscovered it , since it was such awhile I ago I don't remember why I removed it from the site,but I've decided to repost it, its already written so updates will be pretty fast probably one or two updates a week, I'm posting just the first chapter, and if I get any interest I will post another chapter Saturday or Sunday.

Summary : This takes place when Kelso went to California with Donna. Its basically my version of how Jackie and Hyde got together so its gonna be Hyde/Jackie Eric/Donna.

Prologue : Gone

" Has anyone seen Michael? " Jackie said as she burst into Eric's basement.

"Probably hiding from you. " Hyde said with a snicker.

"Very funny Hyde, but really where's Michael, were supposed to be making wedding arrangements." Jackie said .

" You're kidding right? There's no way you could get Kelso to marry you ." Hyde said not believing what he just heard Jackie said.

" Shut up Hyde! " Jackie said angrily ,she then stormed out of the foreman basement in search of Kelso.

As she walked up the outside stairs ,she bumped into fez walking down the steps with chocolate in his hand. She thought maybe he might know where Kelso was so she decided to ask him about the whereabouts of her missing fiancee.

" Have you seen Michael ?" She asked fez .

" Why would you want cake ,when you can have ice cream? " Fez answered in his thick unknown accent.

"No fez, I'm not hungry I'm looking for Michael " she said frustrated and continued on her search for kelso,deciding to go to his house to see if he was there.


" I'm sorry Donna but I wont be your second choice. " Eric said.

Donna had finally realized that Kacey kelso was a jerk. Which is what Eric was trying to tell her all along, but she thought it to be she was saying she wanted him back ,and he was rejecting her.

"What are you saying Eric, I know I was wrong before, but I want you back." She said with tears falling form her eyes.

" I can't accept that you changed your mind , just because kacey broke up with you. " Eric said stubbornly.

"It's not like that, I want to be with you, can't you believe that? " she said now sobbing . he shook his head no, and watched her turn away leaving his room.

" What am I gonna do ive lost Eric forever" Donna said in her head. She thought he was going to take her back but he rejected her.

" I know what I'll do ,I'll go to California to see my mom " She said in her head .

She quickly went home packed up a sack of clothes and carefully slipped out of the house ,at the same time kelso was in his van thinking up a way

of getting out of marrying Jackie. He decided to drive around, that's when he saw Donna walking along the road with a gym bag gull of clothes trying to hitch a ride to California.

"Where are you going? "He asked curious.

" Trying to get away from here." she said holding back her tears

"Hey I could ..uh.. drive you there. " Kelso said. Donna looked at Kelso, he seemed that he was anxious to get away as much as she was.

"Why are you so nervous ,and why do you want to do me a favor ?" Donna asked suspicious about his motives.

he got frustrated trying to figure out a way to answer donna's question but he was too stupid to come up with a lie so he

just told her the truth

"oh alright I'm trying to get away form Jackie because she wants to get married but I don't " Kelso said . donna shook her head.

"That's wrong man but I do need a ride so I guess we can both go to California. "Donna said.

She then she hoped into Kelso's van and they drove away toward sunny California .


"Donna look I'm sorry I was being so stupid but I love you" Eric said standing outside of her bedroom door.

After Eric had rejected Donna, he realized how stupid he had been Donna had come back to him and he had rejected her. He went right over to her house when he realized his mistake, he had been calling her name,but didn't get an answer ,so he climbed up the stairs walking over to her room.

"Donna , please don't ignore me, I was a total jackass ,I realize it now ,and I love you, please let me in." He pleaded as he knocked on the door.

"Donna I'm coming in. "He said after not getting an answer.

He twisted the nob of the door and it clicked open, he was surprised that it wasn't locked and went inside ,but found that Donna wasn't in there. He looked around her room, for any inclination of where she went, but found none. He sat down on her bed , deciding to wait for her when he spotted a piece of paper with Donna's handwriting on her bed.

"what's this ?" he said picking up the paper and reading it in his head.

Dear, Eric

I couldn't take it anymore, first my mom left, and now my dads acting like she was never here ,because he's with Joanne, and now without you there's

nothing left for me here in Point place. I'm going to California where my mom is goodbye Eric

-Donna

"no..." Eric said gasping as he finished reading the letter.

"Why was I so stupid ,I've got to go after her." he said as he ran out of her house and over to his own.

"where are you going Eric? "Red said as he saw Eric in his car .

" I did something really stupid, and Donna left for California, I have to go after her! "He said struggling with his keys.

"Eric get out of that car! "red said in a stern tone. Eric just ignored his father.

" Dad you don't understand, I love her and I have to go after her. " Eric said almost pleadingly.

"You are not going anywhere with that car ,maybe Donna doesn't want to be brought back, let her come back when she's ready quit being a dumb ass and get out of the car! "Red yelled.

" Eric honey your fathers right she'll come back when she's ready. " Kitty said suddenly appearing out of nowhere.

Eric gave up and ran to his room ,laid on his bed his thoughts on Donna . He hoped she would come back soon or at least call him.


Jackie had been all over town and had, had no success in finding kelso, and his van was also missing. She gave up and decided to check the basement again, she walked in, Hyde and Fez were in their usually spots and Eric was sulking in the basement,she wondered why.

"What's the matter Eric, red ground y... " Jackie began to say but,stopped when she noticed pure sadness in his eyes.

"Oh my god Eric, who died! " Jackie asked jumping to the worse conclusion.

"No one died you idiot, Donna left to go to California and she didn't say she was coming back all she left was a note." Hyde said after laughing at Jackie.

"Why'd she do that? " Jackie said looking puzzled.

"Because foreman here rejected her. " Hyde said nonchalantly. Jackie glanced back at Eric no longer sorry for him.

"You did what!" Jackie said angry, Donna and her had their differences ,but somewhere over the years they'd become best friends of sorts.

"She wanted to get back together and you rejected her I don't know what she sees in you how could you do that!" Jackie said going to Donna's defence .

Eric was getting angry that Jackie had stated the obvious but she continued to blabber ,about how dumb Eric was.

"Enough ,just shut up Jackie I know I was stupid to let her go, I love her and your not making things better what are you even doing in here? "Eric said.

Jackie was shocked at Eric's tone. She'd never seen him so upset.

"Sorry, but ,speaking of why I'm here, have you guys seen Michael he's not at home and his van's gone and his parents and Kacey haven't seen him." Jackie said worried.

" Haven't seen him." Eric said.

"Me either." Fez said taking his attention of his candy for a second to answer Jackie's question.

" Me either , he probably ran away since you wanna marry him " Hyde said laughing .

" He wouldn't do that would he? " Jackie said timidly.

" Come on Jackie where talking about kelso here." Hyde said thinking back to all the stupid things Kelso had done in the thought about for awhile.

" That bastard how could he! " She said as she stormed out of the foreman basement .

When she got home she started to cry. She couldn't believe how naive she'd been, he'd lied about cheating on her not once ,but twice,why would he actually commit to marrying her, when he couldn't even stay faithful." She decided right then and there that she was done with men, all they ever did was lie scheme and cheat, but little did she know her swearing of men wouldn't last long ,she would find someone who would treat her better and that person was someone who would least likely fall for her, and her for him, Steven Hyde.
