Enter the Forman living room. Red and Kitty are watching the Munsters. Red is complaining that there are monsters but no one has shot them yet.

"Oh, Red, you have no heart!" cried Kitty, in another of her menopause outbreaks, " I married a man with no heart!" she continued in the event of throwing down the clicker, stomping up the stairs and slamming the bedroom door. Red shrugs and picks up the clicker, changing the channel.

The doorbell rings.

"Oh, hi, I'm Jackie. Is Micheal here? He told me to meet him here." She smiled annoyingly and slipped past Red through the doorway.

Red laughed heartily. "You're with Kettlehead? Well, all the idiots are downstairs. If you come back, don't come through this door. That way I never have to see you." He grumpily showed her to the basement stairs.

Jackie skipped down the tacky stairs to the dirty, wierd-smelling basement. When she glanced around the room, she met three sets of eyes. Three sets of bloodshot, puffy eyes. OMIGOSH! They're smoking marijuana down here!

"Uhm," Jackie began prissily, "Is Micheal here? He told me to meet him here. I'm Jackie. Are you ALL Kelsos?"

All three 17 year olds burst out into laughter. A lumberjack-looking girl with no makeup and flaming red hair wiped her laugh-tears away and caught enough breath to answer her. "You think this is Kelso's house? Wow, he hasn't told you anything. This is Eric's house. Your in Eric's basement. Eric, Eric, Eric." She paused and turned to a skinny, girly-looking boy. "Your name is SO funny!" The redhead threw up her hands and burst into laughter again. "My hands are HUGE!"

Jackie scrunched up her nose at the smell of the wastoids. Are THESE people Micheal's friends?

"Helllo, Yackie!" Jackie cringed at the way the creepy foreign boy pronounced her name. "I am Fez. Want to do it?"

"Ew, no. Will one of you please tell me where Micheal is so I can leave?" Jackie trudged through the badly decorated basement to a door in the back. Without knocking, she flung open the door. The moment she did a currently making out couple fell straight on top of her.

"What the hell, man? Doesn't anybody knock anymore?" A curly-headed, scruffy but very handsome boy, shirtless and wearing faded jeans and boots, mumbled. He got up quickly and brushed off his dirty jeans, then helped up the blonde, half-naked preppy girl off of Kelso's new chick.

"See you later, Hyde. Call me." Eric, Fez, and the red headed girl's mouths were gaping open as the class president put on her blouse, ruffled her hair and winked at 'Hyde' as she walked out the basement door.

Jackie sat on the ground haughtily, waiting for this Hyde guy to help her up the way he did to the bimbo who knocked her down. But he just turned and stared at her for a second before rudely asking:

"Who the hell are you and why did you try to get in my room? I was making history with Barbara Manning!" He crossed his arms and waited while she reached out her arm so he would pull her back on her feet.

"Sorry I-" Jackie started but was interrupted by Fez and Eric applauding him.

"Wow, Hyde, Barbara Manning is one of the most popular girls at school who isn't a cheerleader. How did you get her with you?"

and

"Oh, how I wish I had the magical orphan woman-wooeing powers of you, Hyde. The ladies would all be with me, and it would be GLORIOUS! But, you must esscuse me, as seeing you and Barbara make out gives me nnneeeedsss..."

"Hey! Uhm, hello, I was talking. I'm Jackie Burkhardt. And I was looking for Micheal. He told me he would meet me here over 45 minutes ago! And for your information, I'm going to be the new most popular girl at school, so I wouldn't brag about getting a less popular girl anymore."

Hyde snickered at the pint-sized brunnette's attitude. Sure, she was really hot, but anyone could hate her once she opened her mouth. And she would soon learn she could probably mess with anyone-except him.

"Yeah, I figured you were one of Kelso's whores. Bitchy, controlling and annoying...sounds about right. How did you get in here? I thought we were cheerleader-proofing this basement."

Hyde glanced over Jackie's head to Eric, pointing to her and smirking. Eric started wierdo-laughing. He had obviously dipped into Hyde's stash. Eric coughed "BURN!".

"EXCUSE ME? Ehmygod, Micheal better not hang out with you. And I am NOT a whore, or bitchy, or controlling, or annoying! Now you take it back right now or I'll pinch you!" Jackie threatened. No one was mean to her, Jackie Burkhardt, without ruining their reputation.

"Ooh, I'm so scared!" Hyde scoffed sarcastically while he pulled his Rolling Stones t-shirt on over his bare, muscular chest. "And for your information, Kelso is with Pam Macy behind the Hub, which means you won't see him for another couple hours. See, now you can leave."

The redhead laughed again, but the high was wearing off. "I'm Donna and this is Eric. I live next door, and Eric is my boyfriend. I'm talking like Tarzan." Donna laughed again, and got off the stool on the opposite side of the table from Eric and Hyde and sat on the couch. Jackie crossed her arms.

"Well, I'm just going to wait here until Micheal gets back." She heard groans from Hyde but tried to continue. "I'm a sophmore at Point Place. How do you all know Micheal, and why do you hang out in a stinky basement? Are you popular in Point Place? I'm kind of new. I used to just hang out with sophmores until I got promoted on the cheerleading squad. Is your name really Hyde? That's such a wierd name."

Jackie smiled fakely at them and waited for answers.

"Ok.." Donna started, trying to remember the first question. "We've all known each other since we were kids, except for Fez. He's a foreign exchange student from..." She cocked her head to the side and then looked at Eric.

"Where is Fez from?" Eric shrugged, so she continued.

"Anyways, we just always hang out here because Hyde and Eric live here and I live next door, and well, it has a TV and his house always has food. We don't care about popular stuff really, because if we talk about it, Hyde here goes off on one of his 'The world is controlled by one overall dictator-the Media..' rants and those just aren't fun. And...what was the last one?"

Jackie turned directly to the scruffy boy on her left as she plopped next to Donna on the couch. "Is your name really Hyde?"

"No." He answered gruffly, then turned to the TV.

Jackie squeaked with anger when he didn't say anything else. "Then what is your name?"

"Not important to you."

"Oh c'mon, Hyde, just tell her your name. She'll stop bothering you." Donna said as she rolled her eyes.

"Fine!" Hyde retorted, pulled his legs off of the table and let them hit the floor loudly, letting Donna know he had no intention of telling this annoying sophmore girl his name.

"My name is Steven, but only Eric's parents are allowed to call me that. Even the teachers call me Hyde."

Jackie put on her best sweet face. She hated saying 'Hyde', it sounded like a guard dog name. "Can I call you Steven?" She pouted her lips a little.

"Not unless you want me to puke, dollface." Hyde said, then smirked at Jackie's angry "Hmmph."

Yeah, it was just too easy for him to make her mad.
