Note: Thank you so much for the reviews. I'm glad people like it. Okay, so now the story is really going to be explained.
Looking at the television screen, Hyde could see Jackie hanging from chains, naked. Then the scene changed and he saw Red, Kitty, Eric, Donna, Fez, and Kelso in the smaller cell-like room. Hyde shouted to them, but obviously, they did not hear. The scene then changed again to focus on a freaky looking person, with a white face with red targets painted on his cheeks which were very large. Hyde could tell it was a mask, but it was creepy nonetheless.
"Hello Steven, or as your friends call you, Hyde," the masked person on the TV began. "I have been interested in you for quite some time. You are a very cynical person who does not seem to appreciate all the advantages you were given in life. Instead, you focus on what life has taken from you. You were abandoned by both your mother and father. They never loved you like you loved them. You took this to mean that every time you cared about someone, that person would leave, despite the fact that you are constantly surrounded by people who care about you. The Forman's took you in when you had nowhere to go. All of your closeted friends have proved time and time again that they are with you, especially one."
The screen changed back to show Jackie. "Jacqueline Burkhardt. She has loved you unconditionally no matter what you may try to convince yourself to believe. You thought of her as shallow and rich, and yet she has pushed aside so many other options to be with you. What do you do with the love she gives you? You throw it aside and sleep with a nurse. You answer simple questions of the future with 'I don't know' and then you go off and start your future with a stripper."
Hyde listened in horror to the truth being told to him, knocking the pride right out of him, and rightfully so. He was ashamed of himself.
The screen changed to the masked man again. "I am going to give you another chance, though. One of many. Only this time, the consequences of messing with the chance, are much, much greater. You will face a series of tests to determine your willingness to truly live a full life. After each test, there will be a reward if you pass, and a punishment if you fail. Passing a test guarantees the life of one of your friends in the cell and raises the temperature of the room Jackie is in, which is currently at 45 degrees, by two degrees. If you fail, not only will the temperature drop five degrees, but no ones life will be guaranteed, and there is only one test for each person you must save, including Jackie."
Same Time
In the cell, there was a TV as well with their own explanation, which everyone then in turn explained to Jackie.
"Your friend has five hours to complete the tests. Best of luck."
The TV's turned off and the ultimate test of love and sacrifice began.
Note: Bum bum bum. So now you know what is really going on. It should never really take me very long to update. I'll never leave you hanging for like, days. I am in high school, but I get my work done during the day, so I'll update often. Get it, got it, good.
