Alright let's begin my Darlings!

Chapter 2: Welcome to Burlesque

Jackie had been dancing at burlesque for a little more than a month now. Jackie was so happy about getting to dance at Burlesque! She danced every night with her Burlesque family. Sure she hadn't gotten any solos yet, but to her it didn't matter. Jackie danced in a lot of sets for the night and she had never been so happy. Jackie was currently sitting back stage, putting on her makeup. She looked up when she heard arguing coming from Tess' office. The voices were Tess, Tess' ex husband, Vincent, and Marcus. Jackie met Marcus a couple of months ago. He came into the club and thought Jackie was a waitress asking her for a refill on his drink. She later found out he was very rich, very sexy, and was close friends with Nikki. Jackie listened in on their conversation.

He was offering a ton of money to take Burlesque off Tess' hands. Jackie's jaw dropped. She wanted to scream no! He couldn't take away Burlesque! This was Jackie's home! Jackie tried her best to hold back tears so she would not damage her makeup. She smiled when she heard Tess reject her offer. Marcus left her office and then after him was Vincent. Jackie knew money was getting tight and bills were piling up, but she had no idea things were this bad. Just then Jackie had the best idea.

. . .

The next night, Jackie decided to make her move. Between dances when Jackie was supposed to be changing her costume, she saw Tess and Sean in the costume section. Jackie walked up to them and took a deep breath. "Hey Tess, I had this idea." Tess rolled her eyes, obviously not in the best mood. "Just hear me out, now none of the girls sing-"

"Except for Tess." Sean said, trying to help Jackie. Tess eyed Sean, wondering who's side he was on.

"Right except for Tess," Jackie smiled and continued. "Now I thought, what if the girls actually sung the songs." Tess shhhed Jackie, Jackie went into a rant about her idea. Tess covered her mouth.

"Baby Doll, people come to see the girls dance and lip sing to the classic songs." Tess said. "Now, you have no time. Go get changed, before they start the next song." Tess lightly pushed Jackie back to her makeup station and laughed and smiled with Sean. How would Jackie get to prove to her Aunt she could sing at this rate?

. . .

Hyde scowled at the T.V. He almost hated to admit it, but he missed Jackie. She was coming around the basement less and less these days. She was never here at nights anymore. It made him sad to not see her, not smell the scent of her fruit hair, not see her glossy full lips that he wanted so badly to kiss. He tried to shake off the heat rolling through his body at thoughts of Jackie. Eric and Donna were sitting on the couch and Fez was by the deep freeze sucking on a chaco-pop. Kelso, being his idiot self, came charging threw the door, screaming and falling down on his entrance. The gang laughed at his stupidity.

"Guys! Guys! I know what we're doing tonight!" He screamed. "We are going to Kenosha!"

"Why the hell would we go to Kenosha?" Donna asked.

"Cause there's a hot dance lounge there!" Kelso heard some guys talking about this dance club earlier at the hub. Hot dancers, drinks, and tons of hotties! What could be better?

"And you think we have nothing better to do than go to a club?" Eric said. They all sat frozen for two seconds, but then jumped out of their spots and raced out the door.

. . .

It was somewhere close to 8:00. The gang walked to the club and saw the bright lights and pretty colors. There were posters everywhere calling it the best view. Coco was out on the railing pulling up her stocking and taking in a breath of fresh air. Kelso and Fez were giggling their heads off at how hot she looked. She looked up at them, but didn't give them a second glance. Sean then came out and called Coco in for the next number. The gang watched as Coco entered the club. They followed her inside.

The area was darkly lit, with foggy windows, and strange designs. The gang looked through the windows at the dancers. They were very sexy in their movements; Hyde remembered seeing Jackie doing some similar movements. Hyde's eye widened when he thought he saw Jackie on the stage. The windows were too fogged, Hyde couldn't get a good enough look at her.

"We may not have windows, but we do have the best view in Wisconsin." The man behind a podium said. He turned toward the group and smiled. "20 bucks . . . each." He held out his palm for the money.

Donna, being her feminist self, thought this was objectifying woman and wasn't that approving of it. "What is it? Stripping?" She asked. Alexis' face went serious and had a hint of disgust to it.

"I should wash your mouth out with Yagermeister." He said, a little pissed off. Each member of the gang pulled out $20.00 and put it in Alexis' hand. The gang went inside and straight to the bar, but didn't take their eyes off the dancers. Hyde could swear that one of the dancers looked exactly like Jackie. Hyde tried his best to keep up with this girl and get a better look at her face. The way she looked, the way she moved, it was exactly like Jackie. But Jackie wouldn't do this kind of thing . . . would she?

Steven's jaw dropped when he finally got a better look at the dancer. It was Jackie. Jackie was wearing a hot pink corset with black lace trimming and black panties. Her hair was big, bouncing and curly. Her boobs were bouncy and pushed up. She looked stunning. Steven put a hand on Eric's shoulder and pointed at Jackie. Slowly the gang all saw what Steven was seeing. What was she doing? Kelso and Fez got big fat grins on their faces, while Eric and Donna were just stunned. Hyde on the other hand had a soft smile and couldn't keep his eyes off of her.

Suddenly, a tall woman with big black hair was standing with the girls and she started to sing.

Show a little more,

Show a little less,

Add a little smoke

Welcome to Burlesque,

Everything you dream of,

But never can possess

Nothing's what it seems

Welcome to Burlesque,

Oh, everyone is buying,

Put your money in my hand,

If you got a little extra

well, give it to the band,

You may not be guilty

But you're ready to confess

Tell me what you need,

Welcome to Burlesque,

You can dream of Coco,

Do it at your risk

The Triplets grant you mercy

But not your every wish,

Jesse keeps you guessing,

So cool and statuesque

"Behave yourself" says Georgia

Welcome to Burlesque,

Oh, everyone is buying,

Put your money in my hand,

If you want a little extra,

Well, you know where I am,

Something very dark

Is playing with your mind

It's not the end of days,

It's just a bump and grind

Show a little more

Show a little less

Add a little smoke

Welcome to… Burlesque

The gang clapped for their friend. Though now they wondered if they really knew who she was. The lights went out and the girls disappeared from the stage. The band kept playing and a group of different girls was on the stage dancing. Hyde turned around in his seat to the bar tender.

"Hey dude," He said. Jack looked up at Hyde. "That girl in the pink corset? Who is she?" No way that was Jackie. But if it was Jackie, then who was Jackie?

"That is Baby Doll." Jack said, and then went back to refilling the glasses. Jack didn't know these people and didn't want to give Jackie's name to the wrong people.

"Is there a way we can talk to her?" Donna chimed in. Jack eyed this group, they didn't look like bad people.

"Backstage," he pointed. Steven, Eric, and Donna went backstage, while Kelso and Fez stayed in front to watch the dancing.

In the back girls were everywhere, changing, getting ready, putting on makeup, it was total mayhem. A girl with big blonde curls ran past the group, like she hadn't seen them. "Tess," She called to the lady who sang before. "My contacts fell out when I was on stage."

"Just remember, if you fall off the stage, leg out, boobs extended." Tess said to her. Tess and Sean laughed with each other. Tess sat at her makeup station and started to fix her lip gloss. Hyde tried to look around the room, but couldn't find Jackie. He though this Tess person might know.

"Hey, Tess," Hyde said, getting behind hr. "I'm looking for Jackie."

"And you're in my mirror because?" Tess was more than hesitant to talk to this scruffy looking guy about her niece.

"I'm a friend of Jackie's." He said. It took him back a little; it felt strange to call Jackie his friend. And Eric and Donna felt the same. None of them ever really knew Jackie enough to call her their friend. Tess turned around in her seat and looked at the group. Jackie didn't talk that much to Tess, or anybody at Burlesque for that matter about her life outside of Burlesque.

"Baby Doll," Tess called out. The gang spun around to see Jackie sitting at another makeup station. Her hair was still big and curly, and she was wearing a baby pink robe. When she turned her head, her jaw dropped and eyes widened when they connected with gang's. What were they doing here? How did they find out about Burlesque? Jackie stood up and walked slowly over to the gang.

"Oh my God, what are you guys doing here?" Jackie whispered, not wanting to make a scene. She received blank stare from the three.

"What are we doing here? What about you?" Hyde said, a little angry and upset. He felt like he should have known about this.

Donna cut in. "What the hell is going on Jackie?" she shouted. Jackie shhhed her, trying to not get weird looks from the rest of the girls.

"Guys, really, right now is not the best time." She felt like she could cry at how terrible they were all making her feel.

Sean could not have had better timing. "Baby Doll, hurry up. You're on in 5." He said running past her, to handle a costume emergency. Jackie nodded.

"Listen, I'm really busy right now." She said, glaring at the group. "Go back to the front and wait for me there. I'll be there when the show is over." She didn't wait for them to respond as she went the same way Sean did so she could change. Hyde, Eric and Donna saw they really didn't have a choice if they wanted to find out what was going on with Jackie. They went back to the front and watched Jackie perform more.

. . .

When the show ended, the gang rested in the empty bar area waiting for Jackie. A mirror on the wall opened and Jackie stepped out of it. She had changed into a gray top and a pair of skinny jeans. She called to Jack and asked for a drink. With her eyes glued to the floor she slowly walked over to the gang. She took a very deep breath and paused before she spoke. "So, what do you guys want to know?"

"First off, why didn't you ever dance for me like that?" Kelso asked, being a perverted idiot. "That was hot!" Hyde frogged him. "Ow, Hyde, that hurt!"

Jackie smiled at Hyde's protectiveness of her. "Well, I've been dancing ever since I could walk. My aunt opened up this place, The Burlesque Lounge, when I was two, and since my parents are never around, I pretty much grew up here. I fell in love with it."

Donna decided to ask the obvious question. "Where are your parents?" Hyde noticed a couple people around them freeze.

Jackie felt her words get caught in her throat. She felt Georgia come up behind her and squeezed her shoulder in support. All the girls loved Jackie and tried their best to be there for her when she needed them. "I don't know. About nine months ago my dad left on a business trip and my mom went off looking for a new sugar daddy." Jackie took a deep breath. "They were never really around before then. I've pretty much been living with my Aunt Tess since I was a little girl."

The gang looked at her in shock. She had been alone for almost year and had been keeping a major part of her life a secret to all of them. Jackie saw this on all of their faces. "Really guys, I could care less that they're gone." Jackie looked over her shoulder at Georgia and put a hand on top of her's. "Burlesque is my real family." She said with confidence. "Why don't you guys come back tomorrow night for the show?" She wanted the gang to understand how she felt about Burlesque. How much this place meant to her. The gang all nodded in agreement.

The gang said their goodbyes to Jackie and left, but Hyde stuck around for a moment. "I just wanted to say, you looked really hot up there." He said smiling at her. Jackie felt herself blush. "And, um . . ." Hyde didn't' want to sound too sappy. "I understand." With that he followed the gang out.

"He's cute." Georgia said to Jackie. Jackie giggled with her. Hyde was very cute and Jackie really liked him.

Ok I hope you enjoyed this chapter my Darlings! I should go ahead and say this, just so there are no surprises . . . I do not own That 70's Show or Burlesque . . . but if I did!

Ok next chapter what will Jackie do when the music goes out during a dance? What about Marcus and the dues at the bank? How about Hyde and Jackie, will they get closer?
