Chapter One: Cheerleaders Kicks Ass!
It was a dark night in Point Place, the wind whistled through the trees and the only sound heard was the clapping of Jackie's stacks each time she took a step. The town looked deserted for a hot night nobody was out. The clapping of Jackie's steps echoed through the empty distance. Jackie kept walking as she looked around. A slight rustle could be heard she sharply turned around but all that lay out before her was the same as before an empty street. It was so quiet that the deep breaths Jackie now took were heard. Jackie shook her head trying to convince herself that she was being paranoid. If only Steven could see me now he'd be so proud knowing that am probably just as paranoid as he is.
She quickened her pace. Even though she was certain there was nothing following her she still didn't want to spend any unnecessary time out there. The atmosphere felt really strange to Jackie she felt as though she could feel someone's eyes on her. She stopped again and fully turned around. She tried to stay as still as she possibly could and tried to listen to the noises she had thought she heard before. She closed her eyes and a tingle ran through her body. Her feet were telling her to run but she stayed. She listened intently for a few minutes but heard nothing convinced that she was indeed losing it she relaxed and turned around and started walking again.
She let a small laugh out for allowing herself to get all hyped up over nothing and then suddenly out the corner of her eye she saw a shadow dart from behind a bush. She didn't have time to turn around she just ran. She was running on the long road that leads up to the Forman's and Pinciotti's. She kept running but then felt her legs give out from under her and she collapsed on to the pavement. Jackie's heart was racing a mile a minute and she felt a cool liquid seep through her multi-coloured socks. She bent her head down and inspected her leg she had cut her knee. The blood ran down her leg and left a crimson trail in its wake. Jackie ran her finger across the cut and winced in pain. She got up on shaky legs and looked around the street. She couldn't see anything. But then a dog ran out from a bush and ran down the street. Jackie started to laugh in hysterics.
She yelled to the sky. "Are you kidding me? Got scared over a dog and ruined my favourite pair of socks." Jackie picked up the books that were scattered across the floor and started walking towards the Forman's again. She could have gone home but her father hasn't been around lately and her mom always sat at the bar fixing herself a drink and flirting with the pool boy.
If any of the gang asked her what happened she'd just tell them that she did while practising for the game this Saturday. She made it to the Forman's and rang the doorbell. It wasn't long before Mrs Forman opened the door. Jackie tried to hide the pain that her cut was causing her by smiling at Mrs Forman.
"Hey Jackie what are doing here?" Mrs Forman asked while gesturing for Jackie to sit down. Hyde, Eric and Mr Forman were in the living room watching T.V. They all looked at her strangely as she sat down. Jackie opened her mouth and was about to answer but before she could Mrs Forman noticed her bloody knee.
"Jackie what happened sweetie?"
Jackie looked around the room and didn't know what to say. Suddenly it seemed as though everyone was looking down at her and the cut on her knee.
"Um it's nothing Mrs Forman." Jackie replied but she could tell that Mrs Forman wasn't convinced.
Kitty had gone into caring nurse mode and went into the kitchen to get a first aid kit Red followed her. Both Hyde and Eric scooted across the couch and were now closer to Jackie.
"What happened Jackie did you lose another battle with one of hell's minions while trying to take over?" Eric asked in his usual tone. But Hyde jumped in and said something that even surprised Jackie.
"Forman, shut up!" Hyde said while looking at Jackie's knee.
"Whoa man I was only joking. So any way Jackie how did you really do this it looks pretty bad?" He asked while reaching out a hand to touch the exposed skin of Jackie's knee. As he did Jackie again winced in pain and let out a sharp breathe.
"Sorry!" Eric apologised.
"It's O.K." Jackie said while trying to wipe away some of the blood from her knee. Jackie was still a bit shaken up even though there was nothing out there.
Hyde leaned forward and tried to help her. He lifted up a part of her skirt. The slight touch of his fingertips on her thigh set blood rushing to her head. Ever since their first date on Veterans Day she tried to avoid Hyde because she lied. When they kissed she had told Hyde that she didn't feel anything, which was far from the truth as it was the most explosive kiss she ever had, just to let him off the hook if he didn't' feel anything. Her suspicions were proven when he agreed that he didn't feel anything and so she really tried to stay a way from him. Although the kiss did end her I love you phase it made her realise that she does have some real feelings for him. She looked down to where his hand rested and he quickly pulled it back. Eric gave him a look.
Mrs Forman and Red came through the kitchen door carrying a bowl of hot water and a few band-aids. Mrs Forman knelt in front of Jackie and peeled off her sock and began cleaning the wound. Jackie was fighting back tears as Mrs Forman cleaned the wound.
"Sweetie you are extremely lucky that you don't need stitches. If you had cut your knee a little deeper you would've had to be taken up to the hospital."
Jackie gasped. "So that would mean I would have had a great big ugly scar."
Eric got up; he couldn't help himself when the opportunity rose for an attempted burn. "Aww well Jackie at least you can now become the world wide model you were gonna be!" Eric's voice leaked of sarcasm.
"Shut up Dumbass!" Red yelled. Jackie laughed.
"See I'm helping Jackie laughed." Eric said Red looked at him and Eric sat back down.
"Jackie how did this happen?" Mrs Forman asked.
"I asked when you and Red where in the kitchen and she didn't tell me." Hyde added.
"Jackie what happened?" Mrs Forman asked again.
Jackie breathed in. She contemplated telling them the truth but realised they didn't need to know that a dog had spooked her so much that she starting running tripped and cut her knee. She knew she'd never hear the end of it especially with Eric.
"Well I was practising a new technique for the game on Saturday and I was the apex of the pyramid and I kinda lost by balance and fell." Jackie explained.
Mrs Forman seemed to have bought it but both Eric and Hyde looked at each other they weren't convinced.
"Well Jackie it's a wonder that you didn't break your neck." Jackie looked at Mrs Forman in shock. Mrs Forman just laughed. She placed a few band-aids on her knee.
"Well Jackie you just keep that clean and you will be as good as new in a few days."
Jackie got up and gave Mrs Forman a hug.
"Aww. Eric would it kill you to hug me once in a while." Eric gave his mom the puppy dog look and she just walked back into the kitchen.
"Eric why don't you hug your mother more often? Do you what it's like to tell your mother how pretty she is for the next two hours?" Red said.
"Nooo!" Eric replied.
"You wouldn't would you dumbass!" And with that Red walked back into the kitchen to cheer up Kitty.
"Hey Jackie is that how you really hurt your knee or have you being doing something naughty?" Eric asked.
Jackie glared at him and walked past Eric and Hyde towards the basement.
"Hey man, I think Jackie's lying cos she seemed quite shaken up when she came in." Eric said.
"Yeah well Jackie has the biggest mouth in Wisconsin so if anything did happen I can guarantee we would have heard something or she'd tell us. Come on this is Jackie." Hyde said. Although he wanted to believe his own words he had a gut feeling that Jackie wasn't telling the truth about how she got that cut on her knee.
A few days had passed and Jackie was back to her usual peppy self. The cut on her knee had healed, however a scab had formed which made Jackie feel self-conscious so she just hid it under her jeans. She skipped down the steps that lead to the basement and burst through the door and sat down next to Donna on the couch.
The gang weren't doing much except staring mindlessly at another repeat of the six million dollar man. Fez got up and grabbed a Popsicle from the freezer.
"So Fez are you gonna come and watch me at the game on Saturday?" Jackie asked. She knew he was the weakest and the fact that he was still I love with her made him a shoe in for going. The only thing she now had to do was convince the others to come.
Fez walked up to Jackie. "You bet I wouldn't miss it for the world. Will there be lots of whores there?"
Jackie chuckled. "Yeah Fez there really will be." Fez sat back down licking his Popsicle. He was licking it all over while staring at Jackie. He let the tip of the Popsicle slide in and out of his mouth.
"Fez. Man what the hell are you doing?" Eric shouted. Fez was pulled from his daydream and stared back at the five faces that displayed very worrying looks.
"What? I was just showing Jackie what I can do with my lovely tongue!" Fez explained.
Hyde leaned forward. "Well stop it man, other people might start to think that you bat for the other team if you know what I mean."
"Ohh, its o.k. Hyde you do not need to worry I don't play baseball." Fez said while licking his Popsicle.
"Fez he means..." Eric started.
"Leave it." Hyde said.
"Anyway. What are we going to do this Saturday?" Jackie asked but before anyone had the chance to say anything she suggested they come see her at the game. A roomful of groans was heard and Jackie stomped her foot on the floor in protest.
"Come on guys it'll be fun and plus you get to see me. Please?" She faced Donna with big puppy eyes. And those babies had never failed her once she'd be damned if they did now.
"Donna I am going to be the apex."
"O.k. if this is some cheerleading terminology I'm not following." She looked at Eric to see if he'd shed some light on what Jackie was talking about but he just shrugged.
"Donna I am going to be at the top of the pyramid. I'm the most important and I need you all there cheering me on. Cos even though I never tell you you're like my best friend and I need you there." Jackie said while flashing her puppy eyes and white smile.
"Ahh Jackie that's so sweet of course we'll all be there right guys." Donna looked around the basement and was met with unenthusiastic faces. "I said right guys!" She said this time with more anger that made everyone flinch.
"Donna you used to be nice but you've changed." Kelso grumbled. Without word of warning Donna got up from her seat and popped Kelso hard on the shoulder.
"Owww Donna." Kelso said while rubbing his arm. Donna sat back down.
"Oh thanks you guys." She leaned over and gave Donna a hug.
"Now that's what I'm talking about." Kelso yelled.
"Hey Jackie didn't you say that you hurt your knee while practising for cheerleading." Eric asked.
"Yeah so?" Jackie didn't know what he was getting at but she decided to shut him down anyway.
"Well it's just that we'll all concerned for your safety and I was wondering why on earth you'd want to do it again." Eric asked but his voiced leaked with sarcasm. Although he did want to know if Jackie really hurt her self while practising he couldn't resist getting her mad.
"Cos I have a life and you don't." Jackie retorted.
"Fine!" Eric said.
Hyde had been unusually quiet all afternoon. He stood up and walked towards his room. But before he walked in he turned and looked at Jackie. She couldn't tell that he was and he knew she was hiding something.
"Hey Jackie seeing as you have a life and all. Why don't you go and stay with it. As in leave the basement and never coming here again."
"Whatever. I have to get ready for the game anyway. Ohh I'm so excited." She squealed.
"Yeah we all are!" Eric said. Jackie just glared at him and left the room.
"So we really have to go to this thing?" Eric threw the question to anyone who would answer.
"Yes Eric we are going and I want you to look like your having a good time." Donna ordered.
"That's just how your life is Forman getting ordered around by your woman!" Hyde laughed.
"I don't know why you're laughing cos you are also going. And that goes for the rest of you too!" Donna yelled and then left.
"Hey man do you believe that, she's ordering us to around I thought that only applied to you Forman." Hyde spat.
"What can I do?" Eric asked.
"Stand up and be a man."
"Well I'm not one." Eric deadpanned. Hyde just looked at him.
"Yeah your right!" Hyde said and then began laughing soon everyone one else had joined in.
Saturday had come so quickly for Hyde, Eric, Donna, Kelso and Fez. They all sat in stands looking on at all the other students showing a tremendous amount of school spirit for a losing team. The game had already been on for about 45 minutes and the Vikings were already down by two touchdowns. Hyde sat at the end and Eric, Donna, Kelso and Fez sat beside him. Eric was munching on popcorn and Fez refused to share his candy with anyone. Hyde sat uncomfortably watching the game, he didn't even know why he came he hated coming to any school functions as they were all a ploy into changing the students behaviour patterns. But then he thought about Jackie in her tiny cheerleading outfit and a smile crept on his face he knew why he had come. Hyde huffed as he saw Eric and Kelso conforming as they cheered when the Vikings made a touch down.
Look at Forman and Kelso getting sucked into the school system and they don't even know it poor bastards.
Hyde looked over at Donna smiling and holding onto Eric she looked really excited because Jackie was going to come out at any minute now. Hyde had to admit it he was a little excited too. He felt proud of Jackie. Hyde shook his head in an effort to get rid of all the sappy Forman thoughts that entered his head.
The whole crowd of people including Hyde cheered as the cheerleading team came on to the field for half time. Jackie stepped forward and headed the group of 14 gorgeous girls but to Hyde Jackie was the most beautiful. All the men and boys in the crowd began wolf whistling and calling out various girls names. But Jackie's was the name that was most called and Hyde had to clench his fists to stop himself from knocking out the guys behind him.
Jackie wore a green and white cheerleading sweater with matching green skirt and looked amazing with her hair pulled into a neat ponytail. She began to walk towards the microphone and then took it to speak. Just before she did she looked up into the stands and saw Hyde and the gang and smiled. She actually convinced herself that they wouldn't show up but now that they did a knot had formed in her stomach. She took a deep breath and spoke.
"Hey all you Point Place Vikings does cheerleading kick ass or what?" Jackie yelled into the microphone.
The entire student body yelled back a yes.
"And are we gonna go to the championships this year?" She yelled again. Jackie had done this so many times but knowing that Hyde was watching every move she made, it made her feel all hot. She wanted to kiss him so bad she was now starting to get angry that she wouldn't allow herself to take the chance.
The crowd again shouted back a yeah.
"Well the lets show our team how much we love them."
And the whole crowd erupted in clapping and cheers.
Music blared from the side speakers and all the cheerleaders began to do the new routine Jackie claimed to be working on. Luckily her knee stopped hurting her otherwise she wouldn't have been able to cheer. The cheerleaders kicked, jumped and flipped with a massive amount of enthusiasm, as it was a cheerleader's duty to do so. All the girls split up into two groups with Jackie in the middle. Each girl in turn flipped behind her to the other side while she danced. They then all reformed and danced in unison. Kicking and then doing the splits. The dance itself lasted for around three minutes and Jackie was starting to get a little tired, as her mind was concentrated on something else. All the girls then climbed on top of each other and formed a human pyramid.
Jackie was on top with Dawn below her. She brought herself up and held her hands in the air. She gave a defiant smile and looked at all the people and searched for Hyde. She saw him smile at her and she felt her legs go weak. This feeling is not at all helpful when on a human pyramid in the air. Jackie began to sway and she felt someone tug on her leg. Her legs gave in from under her and she fell off the pyramid and plummeted towards the ground. Everybody stood up from the stands in utter shock all that was heard was Jackie's ear spitting scream. Hyde watched in shock as she hit the ground.
Author's note: This story takes place in the third season. Donna and Eric are still dating but Jackie and Kelso are broken up. Jackie is over her 'I love Hyde' phase. And I am British so please forgive me if I described the football game and cheerleading scene wrong.

And the whole crowd erupted in clapping and cheers.
Music blared from the side speakers and all the cheerleaders began to do the new routine Jackie claimed to be working on. Luckily her knee stopped hurting her otherwise she wouldn't have been able to cheer. The cheerleaders kicked, jumped and flipped with a massive amount of enthusiasm, as it was a cheerleader's duty to do so. All the girls split up into two groups with Jackie in the middle. Each girl in turn flipped behind her to the other side while she danced. They then all reformed and danced in unison. Kicking and then doing the splits. The dance itself lasted for around three minutes and Jackie was starting to get a little tired, as her mind was concentrated on something else. All the girls then climbed on top of each other and formed a human pyramid.
Jackie was on top with Dawn below her. She brought herself up and held her hands in the air. She gave a defiant smile and looked at all the people and searched for Hyde. She saw him smile at her and she felt her legs go weak. This feeling is not at all helpful when on a human pyramid in the air. Jackie began to sway and she felt someone tug on her leg. Her legs gave in from under her and she fell off the pyramid and plummeted towards the ground. Everybody stood up from the stands in utter shock all that was heard was Jackie's ear spitting scream. Hyde watched in shock as she hit the ground.
