Vacations are awesome don't you think? Anyways I still own nothing. Sorry for late update; ^; Chilling under the sun got me loco.

Jackie, Sam, and Candy walked into the room and gaped. For a "black tie party", it wasn't so black tie. Everyone was wearing outlandish clothing, throwing drinks around, screaming like a bunch of apes. Jackie frowned and told Sam and Candy she was heading to the bar. Candy and Sam grinned and nodded obviously not paying attention to her statement. Jackie shook her head and left.

Jackie sat near the bar and ordered herself a glass of beer. Slowly, but surely she felt the alcohol do its work and the headache she was getting from the craziness disappeared. Next to her she heard a shuffle of clothes and a few low murmurs for a shot of vodka. Jackie turned and faced the new comer. It was a guy, he stood somewhere around 6 feet tall with innocent green eyes, dark hair and a tan complexion splashed with freckles along his cheeks.

"Hi," He said. His voice was rough yet smooth; it sent chills down Jackie's spine. Jackie gave him a small smile and replied.

"Hi," She said drinking more beer.

"Can I buy you a drink?" Jackie glanced down at her bottle and noticed the rapidly diminishing liquid.

"Sure," She swished the last of the beer inside her bottle and drank it all. Looking at the stranger again she scanned his clothes. He was probably in his early 20's and living the good life. Jackie sighed. She missed living the good life, not having to worry about money or food for the day, having people to do her laundry, clean her house, make her food, she missed it all right, but the Jackie now, the Jackie that went through a month with barely anything to live off of wouldn't want to go back, especially after the whole episode with Hyde. 'Never again,' Jackie thought.

"Is everything okay, Miss?" Jackie snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the person in front of her. Oh she was still talking to the stranger.

"Yeah, sorry I was just thinking," She said smiling apologetically.

"Must have been some sad thoughts, you looked a bit hurt," he said. "I thought I had done something wrong,"

"Oh," She laughed. "I'm sorry, I was just thinking about other people, anyways my name is Jackie what's yours?" Putting on a fake smile and extending out her hand, Jackie tried to cheer herself up. Hyde was just someone she knew a long time ago now.

"My name's Paul," He said grinning and shaking her hand. "Would you like to dance?" Jackie nodded and Paul took her to the dance floor.

'This music is crap,' Jackie thought stifling a yawn. Paul seemed like a really nice guy, but he was really, really, REALLY, boring.

"Having fun?" Paul said smiling. Jackie nodded in response giving him a grin back. She'd been dancing with him for a while now, and all he ever did was smile, grin, and have random statements. In fact he was beginning to weird Jackie out, Paul smiled way too much.

"I'm a bit thirsty, I'm gonna go get a drink," She said walking off.

"Sure," He nodded still grinning. She walked away from him, but didn't make it that far, her legs grew weak and her eyesight grew dimmer. 'What the?' She thought, looking up she saw Paul's smiling face. "Everything will be fine, after we finish with your body," He laughed and Jackie saw black.

'This is the last time I'm ever recruiting somebody for W.B again,' Hyde thought as he drowned another glass of beer and nodded his head at whatever crap Denise was saying. 'This woman might be hot, but she's insanely dense.' He looked at the blonde haired girl near him. Denise Doran really did live up to her title as prettiest cheerleader of the Dallas Cowboys and Hyde could easily get her number, but Denise just didn't have that certain spark that Hyde was attracted to.

'Stop fucking with yourself Hyde, Denise does have that spark, your just still in love with Jackie,' someone said near him.

"What the hell?" He said blinking, Denise cocked her head sideways.

"Something the matter, Steven?" She said frowning.

"Oh, nothing sorry, you were saying?" He gave her a smile and she resumed talking. 'What the hell am I wasted already?' He thought glancing at his glass.

'It's me dumbass, your conscience,' Hyde frowned.

'First off I don't have a conscience, second my conscience doesn't butt into my business, and third why the hell does my conscience sound like Red?'

'I don't know I'm your conscience, now shut up and listen you moron, you like Jackie Burkhart and your just too much of a dumbass too admit it, now you're miserable, married to a stripper, and living half your life on film,'

'Shut up conscience,' Hyde shook his head.

"Steven you okay?" Hyde looked up; Denise was looking at him again concerned.

"Yeah sorry, look do you want to dance?" Hyde said holding his hand out at her and glancing at the dance floor.

"Yeah sure," She said taking his hand. Denise shuffled Hyde into the middle of the floor, there people we're dancing and having a good time. Roughly half of them were already high off of weed, while the other half were just drunk. Hyde's head throbbed at the intensity of the crappy 80's music blasting from all sides.

"Good music right?" Hyde said grinning sarcasm evident in his voice.

"I KNOW RIGHT?!" Denise said smiling. Hyde's grin fell and transformed into a forced smile.

"Please excuse me I need a drink," He said scowling off as Denise nodded. 'Stupid job, stupid music, stupid Denise,' he thought grabbing a drink from a nearby waitress. He drowned it in one swing and stalked away in a corner. He scanned the crowd, glancing ever so often at some random girl he'd try to bed later on, but then he noticed a slight commotion near where he was standing. Frowning at the lack of bright light Hyde stalked off to see what was going on. As he got nearer he noticed that a girl was hunched over draped on a guy's arm, within 5 steps he realized he knew this girl, one more step closer, he realized he knew that hair, another step closer, he knew only she could fit those clothes, one more step, he knew her tiny frame proved she was a cheerleader, stepping again his eyes widened. Jackie. His mind blank he ran up to the guy and punched him in the face, he watched the man go down and took Jackie away from him.
