Chapter Four: KELSO
At the same time that Hyde, Eric, and Donna were in the Forman's kitchen, Lieutenant Michael Kelso of the Point Place Police Department was arriving at Madame Posey's School of Ballet and Dance.
Well, more like, he was running into Madame Posey's School of Ballet and Dance.
Kelso, in full police officer garb, shot into the waiting area of the dance school and immediately ducked underneath the large picture window that faced the street, taking no notice of Jackie and Fez who were sitting in the room each with a magazine in their hands
Kelso peeked his face over the window ledge very slowly and then darted back down and giggled to himself.
Jackie looked to Fez and raised an eyebrow. Fez shrugged in response.
"Ahem, Michael?" Jackie ventured, putting down her magazine.
Startled, Kelso turned quickly from his crouched position on the floor to face them.
"What the hell are you doing?" she asked, setting down he magazine.
"Jackie! Fez! What are you doing here?" he asked, dumbly.
"What do you mean 'what are we doing here?' The same thing we do every week, waiting for the girls to finish ballet class. What are you doing here? Where's Brooke? And why are you on the floor?" Jackie asked with a frown.
"Brooke and Sasha have the flu, so Brooke told me to pick Betsy up and bring her home after class."
Jackie nodded, "O-kay, that still doesn't explain why you are on the floor"
"Oh!" Kelso's face broke into his trademark grin, "That! Well… uh, you see, Jackie, ever since your husband agreed to go into business with Fez and I-"
"You mean since yesterday?" she asked exasperatedly.
"Well, if you wanna get all technical about it, Jackie!" Kelso said with a scowl, "I decided that I would make my last few weeks as one of Point Place's finest as memorable as possible-"
"Ai, no! What did you do, you big dum-dum?" Fez interrupted, a concerned look on his face. Knowing full well that "memorable" did not mean the same thing to Kelso as it did to everyone else.
Kelso straightened up and puffed his chest out proudly, "You, my lucky friends, are looking at the guy who just trenched the hell outta old man Shinsky's yard!" He threw out his arms as if expecting to receive his applause.
Jackie and Fez exchanged a silent look before they both burst out laughing.
Kelso dropped his arms and put them on his lips, "What's so funny? I'm gonna be a legend!"
Jackie caught her breath, "A legend, Michael? You only did something that Steven did in high school, every year… twice a year!"
"Oh, and don't forget, Jacqueline. Eric's moon-and-trench, well, mostly moon," Fez chuckled.
"Yeah, even Eric beat you to it, Michael!"
"Well, did either of them ever do it in a police car?!" Kelso yelled indignantly, over the renewed laughter.
The laughter stopped.
"Yeah, got you there didn't I, wise guys?" he smiled.
Jackie glanced out the window that Kelso was still standing in front of, "Your police car?"
Kelso grin broadened, "Yeah, see cause he can't do anything to a guy in a police car!"
"Michael, if you trenched his yard with your car… where is it?" Jackie asked, as if speaking to a small child.
"Where is what?"
"YOUR CAR!" Fez and Jackie both yelled.
"Oh!… oh…" horror began to dawn on Kelso's face, "I- uh- I left it at the scene of the crime!"
Fez peered over Kelso's shoulder and pointed into the parking lot, "Oh, that would explain why men with big sticks are coming this way."
Kelso whirled around to look out the window. Sure enough, two of his fellow officers were approaching the building. One was speaking into a walkie-talkie, they both had their billy clubs drawn, and matching grins of delight on their faces.
"Looks like you'll be turning over that badge a few weeks early, my friend," Fez said with a smirk.
"Hide me!" Kelso squeaked and dived under the nearest chair.
Neither Jackie nor Fez made any attempt to hide their moronic friend, they simply watched as the two officers came through the front door and immediately spotted Kelso cowering under the pink plastic chair.
One officer bent low and with a menacing smile said, "Hi there, Lieutenant."
Kelso peered through his fingers, "Uh, hi guys! What's going on?"
"You're going to have to come with us, sir," said the other, smacking the club lightly on his palm.
Jackie and Fez continued to watch as Kelso was pulled from underneath the chair and was being dragged away by his fellows.
"Simmons! I didn't mean it when I said your wife looked like a walrus! What I meant was she has hideously honkin' teeth and whiskers!" Kelso screeched to the officer on his left just as the door closed behind them.
Several hours later and a phone call to his now irate wife, Michael Kelso was sitting in a holding cell in the Point Place PD.
Suddenly, he heard keys jingling just outside the door that lead into the room and jumped to his feet.
"Okay guys, the joke's over! Let me out!"
But instead of someone coming to let Kelso out, an officer was bringing someone else in.
"Hyde?!"
Hyde just smirked at him as he was pushed into the cell with his childhood friend.
"W-what are you doing here?" Kelso asked as Hyde leaned against the bars.
Hyde shook his head, "I don't know how many times I have to prove to you guys that you just aren't as cool as I am. You called what you did to Shinsky's yard a "trench job"? Please, I could do better then you did on a Big Wheel. In fact, I did."
"You trenched Old Man Shinsky's yard on a Big Wheel?" Kelso said in awe.
Hyde gave him a scowl, "No, you idiot. But I did finish the job, rose bushes and all."
Kelso looked insulted and then giddy, "Wait a second, does Jackie know you did this? Oh man! She is gonna be so pissed when she finds out you're in jail!"
"Actually, she asked me to do it. See when my wife came home and told me that you got hauled away and why, she hinted that maybe I should show you how it's done. And I dunno about you but when my hot wife encourages me to commit a petty crime, like trenching an old man's yard," he shrugged, "who am I to deny her?"
Kelso started open mouthed, "Oh, that's a good burn!"
Hyde nodded, "Anyway, is Brooke coming to bail you out?"
Kelso looked sheepish, "No. She told me I had to stay the night here and then maybe she would consider letting me back in the house. Then she hung up before I could say anything else."
"Ouch."
"But at least I have my best buddy, Hyde here with me," he said with a smile and a friendly slap to Hyde's arm. "Hey! Wanna play charades?"
Before Hyde could answer the door opened once again and Jackie Hyde walked through the door with an accompanying officer.
"Your bail's all paid, baby. Let's go home," Jackie said to Hyde, giving him a "you are so foxy" look.
The officer opened the cell door.
"Sorry, Kelso but that's my cue," said Hyde with another smirk. He punched Kelso hard on the arm causing him to bend double. "So long, sucker!" he said in best Daffy imitation.
"Yeah well… you- you suck, Hyde!" Kelso yelled as the pair left the room and the officer locked the cell back up.
AN : Ha ha! That chapter was much more fun to write than I thought. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to capture Kelso's essence but I don't think I did too badly. Anyway, please review, it's great to hear from you all!
