"Okay, cake I can take, but this is crossing the line." Hyde grumbled.

"Hyde, we're men. Finding clothes will only take an hour at the most." Eric reasoned.

"Not with Jackie in charge." Hyde pointed out.

As Hyde entered the bridal shop, a flow of memories flooded his brains. He remembered coming here with Jackie. He remembered how beautiful she looked, as how her face lit up as he told her so. He remembered her rapidly rambling on about their future and about their perfect wedding. It seemed like so long ago, but yet just yesterday.

"Donna, the wedding is in August. I don't see why you chose fall colors for the wedding." Jackie complained.

"I like red, yellow, and orange! They're warm tones!" Donna said defensively.

"Alright, alright, just look for a good tie for the groomsmen. And hurry, I can see Steven walking in, which means if we don't have something in five minutes he'll be walking out." Jackie instructed.

"Okay, let's get this over with." Hyde said once he reached the girls. "Where are Kelso and Fez? I wanna get outta here."

"We are here!" Fez exclaimed when he and Kelso entered.

"Alright, so, you need to get your tuxes fitted, and we must find your ties." Jackie told the four boys. "Donna, what color tie did we agree on?"

"The same color of the bridesmaid's dresses." Donna shrugged.

"And what color is that?"

"Well, I'm not quite sure. I told the other bridesmaids to come at two."

"See, this is why I should never leave you in charge!" Jackie groaned.

"I'm not staying two hours. I'm out." Hyde said.

"Wait, if Hyde gets to leave, then why can't me and Fez?" Kelso whined.

"Guys, c'mon," Eric tried to reason.

"Steven, wait five minutes!" Jackie said. "We'll pick out a bridesmaids' dress.

"You, finding a dress in five minutes? Yeah, right." Hyde scoffed.

"What about...this one!" Jackie said, grabbing the first red one that caught her eye. Looking closely at it, it wasn't half-bad.

"Hey, I kind of like that one." Donna approved.

"Oh, it's a very rich red and good material." Fez complimented, examining it. "And not a bad price for the occasion."

"Well, DAMN, JACKIE! If you wear that, you'll look...DAMN, JACKIE!" Kelso grinned widely. Jackie beamed at her choice.

Hyde grabbed four red ties off the rack and handed them to each of the boys. "Let's get this over with."

"Fez, for the fourth time, you cannot wear the blue tux. Just put the black one on and be done with it." Jackie said.

"Eric, c'mon, let me see!" Donna whined.

"Isn't there some rule against seeing the groom in his tux before the wedding?" Eric said, before opening the door of his changing room.

"No, that's the bride." Donna laughed, straightening his tie. "But don't you look handsome."

"If he's handsome, then I'm smoking hot!" Kelso exclaimed, checking himself out in the mirror.

"The name's Bond." Fez said, opening his door dramatically, "Fez Bond."

"Oh, they all look so good!" Jackie gushed. "And I have little red handkerchiefs in their breast pockets!"

"Hyde, man, come out and admire ourselves with us." Eric called.

"One second, Foreman." Hyde said back, exasperated.

Jackie opened the door to his changing room. "And to think, the one who wanted to be out here the most is the one who's taking the longest to admire themself in the mirror." Jackie smirked.

"God, Jackie, don't you knock? I could be naked for all you knew!" Hyde yelled.

"Steven, I knew very well you weren't naked, I could see you dress pants on. And what does it matter, anyway? It's not like we haven't seen each other naked before." She said with a raised eyebrow, leaning against the wall of the changing room.

"That was different. We were going out. And I was not admiring myself; I was, uh, having trouble with my tie."

"You're twenty-two and you don't know how to tie a tie?" Jackie scoffed.

"I prefer bolo ties, okay? Not this fancy crap." He said, and added in a whiney voice, "And I was a fatherless orphan."

Jackie laughed before entering the room and taking his tie. "Here" She said, putting it around his neck. "But first, you need a handkerchief." She said as she stuffed it in his breast pocket. "And take off those damn aviators of yours." Jackie slowly took the glasses off and also put them in his breast pocket.

Jackie and Hyde made eye contact. Neither one broke the gaze, so Jackie began to tie his tie. Her fingers were fumbling, and she forgot how to tie a tie. She also forgot why the hell she wasn't dating Steven Hyde anymore.

"Why are you doing all this, Jackie?" Hyde said seriously.

"Doing what?" She asked.

"All this stuff for Eric and Donna, they don't want it."

"Who says?"

"You can tell. Donna's not a girly girl, and Eric, like most grooms, is just along for the ride. They just wanted a small, quiet wedding, and now they got all this." He said, yanking his tie looser.

"And what's wrong with that?" Jackie said defensively, taking a step back from him.

"All I'm saying is, maybe you should worry about your own life and less about them." He suggested.

"Maybe I'm just helping out a friend? Did that ever occur to you?" Jackie yelled.

"Jackie, stop shouting! I'm just saying, why?"

"Why? Why, Steven? Of course, because their always has to be something for me in there, doesn't it?" Jackie said.

"Actually, yes!" Hyde said. "Don't pretend like we've all haven't been your play toys at one time!"

"Steven, what is this about? Do you want to run the wedding? Of course you would. You know all about them because you threw your life away and got drunk and married a stupid cheating whore in Las Vegas!" She screamed, and meant every word she said.

"Aye, carumba." Fez said from outside, and three boys were yanking at their ties awkwardly.

"Fine! Hyde said, ripping off his tie and throwing at him. "You wanna play it like that? Kelso-used for sex. Fez-used to feel wanted. Donna-used to have a friend. The wedding-used to live vicariously through Eric and Donna. And me-to get your mind off Kelso, and find a husband." Unlike Jackie, he regretted it as soon as he said it all. "Wait, Jackie-"

"Go. Away." Jackie said sternly. " I don't give a damn if you're the best man, get out of here!" She shrieked.
