AN/ Hey… it's been a bit more than two weeks. Okay… hum… so I've just past my writhing exam I still have the oral the 1st of July, I hope you understand that I'm going to have to revise so I won't have many time to writhe but once it's over I'm on vacation so I'll have much more time than before. Anyway I originally wanted to keep that part for later but since you wanted a new chapter and I hadn't find something else it's here. Not so bad in fact it made the story go faster.

Guest- Thank you for your review I'm trying to focus but between my exams and my personal life it ain't that easy. (Are you the one who put a review on my Naruto fic?)

MJ- Thank you very much but I though I had made it pretty obvious where was Jackie right now and an OC is an Original Character (create by the fanfic author) so Jackie can't possibly be one.

Guest- (are you the same person as the other guest?) I'm sorry but when I've just spend the all day revising I just want to have a bit of fun not working so yes sometimes it read fanfic and review on them, sorry for not being more focus on my work. I love the way you try to manipulate me by over-complimenting my fic it's really funny. (Is that you that put a review on A Dream Coming True?)


Laurie had been living with them for a few days, Hyde didn't mind her presence anymore, to him she had become a link to Point Place, to his friends, to his life.

He had asked her about how the lives of his friends were going on. According to her the Formans were still living in their routine, while Ms Forman complained often of the lack of children in their home. It didn't surprise him to learn that Eric and Donna were –once again- engaged. And apparently it had become impossible to have any conversation with Kelso that weren't about his daughter and Fez had found himself a new girlfriend.

Hearing this last statement had made Hyde say "That's bad for you. Losing your boyfriend and your husband!" to mock her

To his surprise she looked at him with a you-saying-that-to-me-is-as-pathetic-as-it-is-sad kind of expression then said "You've been living with Anna for more than two months and still is thinking that way?"

He didn't understood what she meant. What did the fact that he lived with the girl with a tiger tattoo had to do with the fact that she was a slut?

"Well Hyde your still a slave of the society." She said to him before leaving for her bedroom.

Once again Hyde was unable to find the meaning of her words. If they were one thing he was sure of it was that he was himself again. All he had been doing this past few weeks was listening to music, hanging out in bars, circles, bar fight and one nightstand. That was not what society told him, was it? No, it couldn't, sex, drug and Rock'n'Roll those were the holy commandment of Rock'n'Roll and he was following them. Maybe his body was following them but not his soul? No his soul was fine he was sure of it.

Then what? What made her think he was the man's slave? What in their small conversation that could have lead her to think he was still dependent of the boss?

Hyde spend his all afternoon searching to understand what she went and where did it came from without being able to find any answer.

When the tigress came back the first thing he did was telling her about his talk with Laurie and asking her for answer. She looked right into his eyes through her sunglasses, then sighed and looked down. How can I say that without hurting him? "You still 'ave some o' the reflexes the man tough you?"

Hyde was stunt "But I'm back at being myself."

"Yourself is one of the one of the man's puppets." Declared Laurie from the kitchen.

Hyde ignored her stating thinking she was speaking nonsense until he noticed the stoical look on Anna Mae face that confirmed Laurie's said.

"Okay now you need to explain me."

The tigress took a moment to think then looked right at him and asked, "Am I a slut?"

"What? No!"

"What 'bout Laurie?" And it hit him, he knew two women that enjoy sleeping around but didn't saw them the same way. The tiger girl seemed to have notice his brain wave because the next thing she asked was " Do ya know why you think that way?" He shook his head no.

"It's because society allow man to behave that way," started Laurie catching everyone attention, "Anna act the same way man does so in your mind it's okay for her to do what a man would do, but I behave like any other girl so in your mind I do not have the right to sleep around and enjoy it." Two things shocked Hyde. First: That actually made sense. Second: Laurie Forman had just voice a social theory! As if she read his though she said "I've study psychology remember."

Now he understood what she meant. To him it was indeed weird to think of a girl sleeping around without being a complete tomboy. But it wasn't the same as the rest, it wasn't something he had been told to think. He had grown up that way, He had been made that way… by the man. Even if the idea of having been mentally built by society piss him of, he couldn't simply stop himself to think that way.

"Maybe you can tolerate it?"

His attention was back to hearth, he turned to Anna Mae "What did you say?" he asked.

"You've been raise with that way o' thinking so it's complicated for you t' accept somethin' that doesn't go that way but maybe you could try t' tolerate it." Said the woman. Hyde was living with those girls so he kind of had to tolerate them. He nodded to her, she smirked and answered "Step one tolerance" she pointed at Laurie "apologise."

No way! She had called him 'Orphan' and made fun of him and his friends to many time for him to apologise. He was about to complain but Laurie burst in laughing, he and the girl with a tiger tattoo turned to her.

"Please Anna. As if being call names by a child had any effect on me."

He was about to say 'You slept with a child' referring to Kelso but that thought made him realise that he had at least one good reason to call her a slut. "Tell me Anna Mae." He started "How do you call a girl that sleep with a guy knowing fully that he has a girlfriend… or a wife for that matter?"

"I call her a girl that sleep with a guy knowing fully that he has a girlfriend or a wife." She answered casually.

"You think it's normal, no female solidarity?"

"Female solidarity is for dumb blonde and if sleeping with a guy that already have someone help that person realising that he's a asshole then it's a good thing."

Hyde stared at her a few second then said "I never though I'll say that one day but you sound just like my ex." on a dismay tone.

"What?"

"Jackie did thank me once." Mumbled Laurie loud in off to be heard by everyone in the room.

"Before dating me my ex was dating my best friend who cheated on her with Laurie, at the time she couldn't see her but after she end up being thankful to Laurie for opening her eyes. You and that girl are so much each other opposite that I never though I'll hear you say something she could." Explained Hyde

The tigress stared blankly at nothing, she seemed to be thinking, noticing that Laurie made a loud clap with her hand snapping her friend back on hearth. The tiger girl shrugged then said "There ain't anyone in this world with who you can disagree on everythin'"

The time passed after they had that conversation and day after he grown to accept Laurie's way of life even if he still felt a bit weird about it. What was actually bothering him was the fact that he had made a parallel between Anna Mae Krieger and Jackie Burhart.

It was so strange to think of to complete opposite could agree on one thing. That had made him notice that they had a quite similar body shape, they were like the ying and the yang of one same person, this though made him laugh because of it silliness and because he couldn't figure which would be which.


AN/ Thank you for reading. So what did you think? You could put a review and tell… maybe… if you have time… perhaps… you can tell me things to… you know… improve my story, that would be helpful.

I like to remind you that I'm French and dyslexic so if you could worn my if you see any mistake in my orthography or grammar that would be amazingly nice. Thank you.
