Author's Note: Hello everyone! Ugh I know, I know, I'm late and I am SOO sorry. I just fell behind in writing this chapter. And left a lot of it for yesterday. Too much of it actually. I'm considering moving the update day to Saturday if that's ok with you guys. I mean it practically is the date i update on anways. But I'm still not sure because then it'll give me less time to work on "Two Weeks" Writing two stories is not easy…but it is a lot of fun! I'm not sure what I'll do, maybe move it to Saturday until Summer vacation or maybe just come up with a new writing schedule. I'll let you guys know and don't worry neither of the stories will be cancelled! I promise! Thanks for the reviews on the last chapter I'm really glad you guys like it and I'm sorry this chapters alittle shorter than the rest but I decided to cut some of it and leave it for the next chapter. Maybe it'll be on time then. lol Thanks again and Enjoy!


Upstairs, Jackie was standing in the middle of the Forman's hallway. She wasn't sure which bedroom to go into. She hadn't brought any extra clothes—she didn't plan on spilling soda on herself—so she was forced to go into one of the three bedrooms to get something new to wear. But which door would she choose?

She couldn't pick Eric's, that would only get her some loser-ish Star Wars t-shirt.

Laurie's closet was probably filled with only slutty clothes.

Going to the Forman's room would get her some more feminine clothes, and less skanky, but too old.

Jackie weighed her options for several minutes. She was not wearing any guy clothes especially if it had some stupid character from…anything. Eric's room was out of the question. That left the Forman's room and Laurie's. And while Jackie didn't want to look like a prostate, she didn't want to look old either. After all she was younger than Annie and that always got her a few points.

So the Forman's room was out too. That left just one room.

Taking a deep breath, Jackie walked over to the bedroom that hadn't been open in awhile, and walked into the Earth Mother Whore's room.

Jackie was surprised to see that Laurie's room looked like any other girls room, probably for the sake of Red and Kitty she thought to herself.

Hurriedly, Jackie made her way to the closed closet, doing her best to avoid the mattress and the rest of the bed area. Who knew disgusting things had happened there—Jackie for one did not want to find out.

Laurie's closet had nothing that caught Jackie's eye. Every top in there was either too slutty, too cheap looking, or too big. Then again what else could she expect this was Laurie Forman's closet, she should be happy that there was at least clothes in here.

Taking a second look through the stack of blouses hung on wire hangers, Jackie found something that was pretty decent.

It was a teal color tube top, that normally she wouldn't wear but desperate times called for desperate measures. Besides it was a lot better than wearing her now ruined, white blouse all day. And this was the only top in her size that wasn't too slutty.

Jackie changed out of her blouse and put the tube-top on as fast as Laurie must have taken it off. Once the top was on, Jackie turned around to look at herself in the mirror; when she did she liked what she saw.

The shirt gave Jackie an extra boost in a certain area. It wasn't a boost that she needed, but that didn't mean she didn't appreciate it.

She smirked as she turned around, admiring herself from all angles. She looked good, really good. Maybe even better than usual. Slowly her smirk faded, she thought she looked good, but what if Annie thought she looked too slutty? It was still Laurie's top so there was a good chance, and Jackie couldn't take the chance of looking like a whore. Then Annie could win.

Jackie took a few minutes to think this problem over. She liked this top but she just needed something to make it less…Laurie.

Suddenly an idea popped into her head, a button down shirt! All she'd have to do was go into the Forman's room, Kitty had to have some button down blouse she could use as a little jacket. That could work. Donna wore button down tops a lot, and while Donna didn't usually pull them off, Jackie was sure she could. After all she was Jackie Burkhart…er Hyde.

"And so I'm out there for I don't know….five hours and I haven't caught anything." Phil rambled on to his bored looking audience.

Annie had heard this story thousands of times and Hyde felt like he had done the same.

"I was just about to give up when there was tug on my line. So I jumped out of my seat and started reeling him in and this guy put up quite the fight." He continued, "Finally I after struggling for about five minutes, he was mine."

"How big was it?" Hyde asked in a monotone voice, his chin in his hand as he sat in Red's arm chair.

Phil thought over the question for a second or too before using his hands to show the size of his 'Jaws.' Using both his left and right hand, he made a measurement of only a few inches. Six at the most. Hyde had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep from bursting out laughing.

"But I felt bad, cause that fish could've been someone's baby fish." Phil went on, "So, I put him back in the ocean to reunite him with his fish family."

Hyde shook his head, "What an idiot."

"Sorry, what was that Steven?" Phil asked, not understanding what Hyde had muttered.

"Uh…" he struggled for a few seconds, "I said what a hero. That was a really great thing you did, Phil."

Phil smiled proudly, "Thank you." He said to Hyde before turning back to Annie, "See I told you it was a good thing."

Annie rolled her eyes at her husbands comment and then turned her attention over to her cousin's "husband." She could see he was just as bored as she was and these boring stories from her husband weren't helping her find out what she needed to know. She looked back at Phil and smiled.

"Phil, honey," she began, "We did do other things on that cruise remember? Why don't you tell Steven about those things?"

"Oh yeah sure," Phil smiled and nodded at Annie, before looking over to Hyde, "That cruise had an awesome buffet. All you could eat too. I must of gained five pounds from their cheese there alone."

"Fascinating." Hyde muttered.

"Oh and then there was shuffle board, which I found out I was very good at. And bingo too. That wasn't exactly my game, but the old people there were really nice. They always had hard candy."

"Phil." Annie called out, interrupting her husband from his thoughts of playing bingo with his elderly friends.

"Yeah?" he asked jolting up abit.

"I meant the other stuff." The blonde woman began, "The non-old people stuff."

"Ooohhh." Her husband nodded understanding, "You mean the stuff we did on the first day there, before you got seasick?"

Annie's eyes widened a bit as she shot Phil a look that told him to stop talking. Phil apparently didn't see it though.

Hyde smirked, "Annie got seasick, huh?"

"Yup and pretty bad too. I gave her the nickname, Landie Annie." Phil joked, "Cause you know Landie is a word that has the word land in it, and it kind of means like land lover. And well, Annie's her name."

Hyde laughed abit at the joke, that he really didn't need Phil to explain. Phil joined in the laughter, happy to have some one laugh with him and not at him. Annie watched both of the men, a deep scowl on her face.

"Phil, you know I didn't like you telling that story." She scolded slightly.

"Oh come on sweetie," Phil began, "he's family."

"I don't care." Annie said with a shake of her head.

And that was the last Hyde heard, before he tuned them out. This was a marriage thing and he was already getting enough of marriage stuff with Jackie. Besides it was a good thing he stopped paying attention to the couple, because he was able to notice someone try to sneak peak into the living room from Red's den.

"Hey!" Hyde called out and the person in the den froze, unsure of what to do next.

Curiosity got to both Annie and Phil and they turned around in their seats on the sofa, to look in the direction that Hyde was speaking to. Annie frowned and Phil smiled when they saw the skinny twitchy man bending down trying to hide behind the plant.

Seeing that there was nothing he could do but surrender and go over there, Eric straightened himself out and walked where the trio was sitting.

"Hi there." Eric greeted frowning Annie and smiling Phil quickly, while trying not to meet Hyde's shaded glare.

"Don't mine me I just came up here to…" he looked around the room nervously when he soon found a magazine on the table, he picked it up and smiled, "Get my magazine. Well I got it, so I'll be off. See ya."

Eric made a dash for the swinging door but his trip was cut short as Hyde grabbed onto the back of his t-shirt.

"Phil, Annie, this is my brother Eric." Hyde introduced.

Eric looked at Hyde with a small frown but then realized what he had called him, his brother. They were brothers. A smile quickly took the place of the small frown on Eric face as he began to shake Phil's hand

Hyde smirked as he watched the scene, "He's gay."

Eric's eyes nearly popped out his head as he swung it over to look at Hyde. Hyde just smirked in response not easing Eric's nerves at all.

"What? No!" Eric practically shouted, shaking his head towards Hyde and then towards the married couple, "I am not gay."

"Oh that's right. Sorry man." Hyde apologized to his brother as he clasped his hand on his shoulder and looked back at Phil and Annie, "He prefers the word, homosexual."

"No!" Eric argued, jumping away from Hyde, "No! I don't prefer that word. I prefer words like…straight, women, un-homosexual!"

"Eric, don't worry, we're not judging. Right?" Hyde asked his company.

"No." Phil said reassuringly as he shook his head.

Anne shrugged, "I guess not."

"I'm not gay!" Eric exclaimed waving his hands in the air, the magazine still in one hand allowing Hyde to get a glimpse of the name.

Hyde smirked, this was too easy. He ripped the magazine out of Eric hands and looked back at him; his smirk not disappearing but growing.

"So you just read Cosmo for the articles?" he asked lifting up the woman's magazine to show Annie and Phil.

"Yes!" Eric quickly answered. He was so use to telling that excuse to Donna or any of the other women who had caught him looking at the magazine, he'd gotten just abit confused. But soon he figured it out and quickly tried to fix what he'd done.

"No! I mean no not the articles they…." He had a hard time trying to explain this one, "That's not even the magazine I wanted! I wanted the…eh…" he struggled for the name of a magazine a man might read. This was harder than trying to explain him having the Cosmopolitan magazine.

"The sports one." He at last said, in a very weak tone.

Phil frowned, "Sports Illustrated?"

Eric thought over the magazine name, Phil had given. It sounded real enough.

"Yeah, that's the one!"

"So what you're saying is you'd rather look at a magazine full of pictures of men than a magazine full of pictures of women?" Hyde asked the twitchy man.

"Yes." Eric nodded and smile, but then realized how agreeing to that didn't exactly help his argument.

"I mean…I…" he struggled, not knowing what he could say that wouldn't end up making him sound gay. "I hate you!" he finally shouted to Hyde in his high squeaky voice before he ran into the kitchen.

Hyde looked over at Phil and Annie, "He just came out of the closet." He explained, "His emotions are kind of all over the place."

"I can tell." Annie stated as her husband nodded understandingly, "If he really wants people to believe he's straight though, he really should stop speaking in that squeaky voice of his."

"Yeah." Hyde agreed with a smirk as he sat back down in the green chair.

"Ok, I'm back." Jackie called out as she descended down the stairway.

Hyde turned towards her, along with Phil and Annie, but when he saw her he found that he couldn't take his eyes off of her.

She was wearing the tight teal colored top with a white button top over it. None of the buttons were buttoned though, so view of the tube top was not blocked. Hyde knew neither of the tops were hers, but the way she looked in them…she owned them now.

Especially the teal tube top that Hyde was certain belonged to Laurie. But while Laurie must've looked whorey and slutty in the top Jackie looked beautiful and breath-taking. And that extra boost was a very nice touch.

"I hope I didn't take too long." Jackie said innocently with a smile, happy with the attention both the men were giving her.

"No, no." Annie shook her head, trying not to show her jealousness, "In fact you didn't take a lot of time at all, and your outfit here shows it."

Jackie snarled at her cousin and opened her mouth to comment, but her comeback was cut of by Hyde who'd finally looked away from the teal top.

"Or maybe she didn't take long because she doesn't have too many things to fix or cover up." He suggested and Jackie smiled at him sweetly before looking over at her cousin.

"I think that makes sense." Phil nodded, "And you do take along time getting ready, Annie. One time I almost left without her."

Hyde laughed a short laugh while Jackie just smirked evilly at her cousin who paid no attention to them and instead hit her fist against Phil's knee.

"Ow!"

"You know Jackie," Annie began ignoring her husbands cry of pain, "we just met your gay brother-in-law."

"My gay brother-in-law." Jackie said trying her best not to make it sound like a question, but she was confused.

Hyde took notice of Jackie's tone and decided to help out, "Yeah, Eric came by real quick."

"Oh Eric!" Jackie nodded while smiling largely, she really would have liked to have been here for that, "I bet that was fun."

"It sure was." Hyde said with a smirk.

"So what were you three talking about while I was gone?" Jackie asked as she sat herself down on the arm of Hyde's seat.

"Cruises." Phil answered, "I was telling Hyde about the one we went on where I caught this baby fish that was really strong. See…"

"Yes, cruises." Annie interrupted before her husband could get started on his never-ending fish story, "Have you and Steven ever been on one?"

Jackie smiled, "Of course."

"Loads of them." Hyde added.

"Really? Where've you gone?"

"All over the place." Jackie responded, "We just love traveling by sea. And not to just the regular stops, we've been to a few secrete ones too."

"Like where?" Phil asked, excited about the secret part.

"Um…have you ever heard of the Island of…"Jackie struggled for a name

"Hyde, what the hell?!" a new voice called out.

"Hyde what the…" Jackie began to repeat but quickly realized what was going on.

She turned her head to the direction everyone else's was. Standing infront of the swinging kitchen door was an angry looking lumberjack who intrigued Annie and scared Phil.

Jackie and Hyde exchanged quick looks before Hyde jumped to his feet and walked over to Donna.

"Um excuse me for a second." He said before pushing the redhead into the next room, earning him two confused looks.

"Who was that?" Phil asked in a shaky voice once the two were gone.

"I hope that wasn't an angry ex-girlfriend." Annie lied; she really did want it to be just that.

Jackie shook her head, "No of course not. Steven's never really had any other girlfriends before me."

Annie raised both her eyebrows, showing Jackie that a comment would soon be made on what she had just said.

"Because he was so in love with me. He'd always had a lot of offers but his heart belonged to me." Jackie added just before Annie could speak, "He'd been in love with me since elementary school but I wasn't ready to be tied down. So for the rest of our years, we remained very close friends but nothing else. Not until my junior year, that is."

"That's when Steven swept me off my feet and I gave him my whole heart when he gave me his."

"Aww!" Phil cried.

Annie just stared at her cousin who was smiling away. There was no way that was the truth and Annie knew she had to find a way to prove that it wasn't.
