Chapter 9: Thanksgiving
"I can't believe Eric's slutty sister is coming home for Thanksgiving. People like Laurie should have their own Thanksgiving." Jackie grumbled.
"Laurie's pretty hot, and she's totally into me so lay off Jackie." Kelso said.
Jackie turned to glare at him. "Kelso, you've got a girlfriend." She reminded him. "If you cheat on Ashley Steven will have to kick your ass."
Hyde arched an eyebrow and gazed at his girlfriend. "Don't volunteer me for your evil cheerleader schemes."
"It's not a scheme Steven, it's you kicking Kelso's ass." Jackie said reasonably.
"So this Kate is she hot?" Hyde asked eagerly, wincing when Jackie pinched his arm. "I was just asking." He said with a sigh.
"Don't ask." She commanded.
"Of course she's hot, all college girls are hot." Kelso cut in."I mean we've all seen the brochures right?"
Jackie rolled her eyes and stood up. "Okay, Donna help me play some music. Right now." She ordered.
Hyde waited until his girlfriend was out of earshot before turning to Eric. "So she's hot right?"
"Oh so hot!" Eric replied. Kelso and Hyde both laughed.
By the juke box Jackie was attempting to be sympathetic. "You okay?" She asked, compassionately, a huge surprise coming from Jackie.
"Um, yeah." Donna answered back.
"Donna! How can you be okay? There's a college woman sleeping in his bed."
"He's sleeping in the basement." Donna reminded the pint sized cheerleader.
"Donna! Stairs are not going to stop a high school horn dog. Barbed wire will not stop a high school horn dog. A wall of fire will not stop a high school horn dog."
"Jackie I get it! I get it!"
"Poor Donna, so naïve!" Jackie said sadly. Donna gave her a strange look as the two girls sat down next to the boys.
"What do you guys want to do?" Donna asked.
"I'm gonna head home. I'm tuckered out." Eric said, faking a yawn.
Jackie gave Donna a significant look.
"Where do you think you're going?" Jackie asked Hyde, who was attempting to follow Kelso who had gotten up to follow Eric. "To the basement."
"No, you are not going to meet that slut." Jackie said.
"Jackie, I wasn't…" Hyde said but trailed off, realizing how incredibly pointless fighting with Jackie would be.
"Alright, what do you want to do?" He asked warily.
"Donna and I want to go to the movies."
"What? No we don't!" Donna answered; she didn't want to spend anymore time with this midget than was necessary. Jackie stomped on Donna's foot.
"Shut up you lumberjack! We want to go to the movies."
Hyde stared at Jackie, finally shrugging and yanking Fez up from his seat."Fez, my foreign friend we're going to a movie."
Fez rolled his eyes. "Keep that one quiet." He whispered loudly to Hyde.
Hyde smirked back, and wrapped an arm around his girlfriend. "Trust me, I will."
A little over two hours later, the four walked out of the theater. Jackie was chattering incessantly, Hyde appeared to be tuning her out, but Donna and Fez both looked ready to kill her.
"Where to now?" Hyde asked, looking over at Donna and Fez.
"I'm going home." Donna said irritably.
"Donna! The night is just beginning!" Jackie cried.
"Well, why don't you end your night with Hyde?" Donna asked sweetly.
"My parents are home." Jackie admitted with a sigh.
"Making out is no fun when your drunken mother stumbles into your room every twenty minutes to tell you how cute you are!" Jackie said sadly.
Hyde nodded his agreement. "Last week, she pinched my ass."
"So you made out with a college girl?" Fez asked in awe.
"Kinda." Eric said with a smile.
"Start talkin'." Hyde ordered.
"Why man? You've got a girlfriend." Kelso said idiotically.
"Kelso man, my girlfriend is a sophomore." Hyde said, as though that explained everything.
"Tell it like a story, like a sexy story." Kelso said with a giggle. "Okay, she like jammed her entire tongue into my mouth, and you wouldn't think a girl had that much tongue."
"That's great!" Kelso cried in excitement.
"Oh wait…oh yeah…I don't know I feel kind of guilty. Almost like dirty." After two stupid comments from Fez and Kelso Eric said, "No I feel bad. Look I think I gotta tell Donna."
"Really? Well on behalf of men everywhere." Hyde said, smacking him in the side of the head.
"Hyde, you've got a girlfriend are you telling me when you and Jackie were dating, if you'd kissed another girl you wouldn't have talked to her about it?" Eric asked.
"Irrelevant." Hyde replied calmly.
"Yeah man, the best thing to do is juggle them both until it blows up in your face." Kelso added.
Hyde gave Kelso a look. "No man, I say if it bothers you don't do it again, but don't tell Donna about it either."
"You're evil man; I'm beginning to think you've had practice at this." Eric said.
Hyde smirked. "I've never touched another girl since I agreed to be Jackie's boyfriend, but before that…that was fair play." Hyde said with a laugh.
Eric shook his head. "If Jackie wasn't the devil I'd feel sorry for her." He said.
Hyde smacked him again. "Stop calling my girlfriend the devil."
"Look, you guys just don't understand. I can't hide anything, the minute she looks at me she's going to know!" Eric said; panicked. As if on cue Donna came bounding down the stairs.
"Hey guys, what are you talking about?" She asked casually.
"I kissed a girl!" Eric said, jumping up.
"WHAT?" Donna questioned dangerously.
"You what?" "Oh my god you bastard!" "How could you?" Rang out from his friend's mouths before they all hurried away. The three boys regrouped in the kitchen.
"What if Eric rats you out?" Kelso asked.
Hyde glared at him. "I'll kill him." Suddenly they heard Donna's angry voice, and Eric replying. "Hyde used to kiss other girls all the time when he and Jackie were dating! At least I told you!"
"He's dead." Hyde threatened.
"You can start with your own butt!" Donna screamed, running up the stairs.
"Donna you wanna talk?" Hyde asked.
"Get bent! You're worse than he is!" Donna screamed storming away.
"I guess Donna didn't take it very well." Kelso said.
"Take what well?" Red asked, when Kelso didn't answer Red glared at him until he told him what happened.
"Anything else?" Red asked threateningly.
"You're son is a whore." Fez said with a laugh.
"He's going to be a dead whore when I see him." Hyde added before the three left the house.
"Steven, what are you doing here?" Jackie asked whenshe answered the door later that day. Donna was standing behind Jackie, and fromthe look on her face he knew she had told on him.
"I was hoping we could talk." Hyde said calmly.
"What would we have to talk about?" Jackie asked sweetly.
"Uh...I thought you would want to here it from me since obviously some people can't keep their big mouths shut." Hyde snarled, glaring at Donna. To his surprise Jackie laughed and shook her head, pulling him into the house.
"Don't be angry with her Steven. Donna was just being a good friend."
Hyde stared at his girlfriend in shock again. "You aren't going to scream at me? No tears?"
Jackie shrugged and smiled. "Steven, it wasn't like we were serious then. You had every right to do whatever you wanted."
Hydehad been expecting a fight. He had expectedher to scream at him, and to cry and to even possibly end their relationship. He hadnt expected to be forgiven. "Jackie are you sure you're alright? I- I thought you'd be more upset than this."
Jackie smiled again and kissed him quickly on the lips. "Steven, as long as you havent done anything since we've been exclusive Ireally can't say anything about you."
Hyde still looked confused. "Um...alright then...are you coming to Forman's for Thanksgiving desert?" Jackie nodded happily and Hyde left.The smile fell off Jackie's face the minute the door closed and she turned back to Donna. "Why did you lie to him? Before he got here you were ready to tear his head off." Donna asked, confused. Jackie sighed sadly. "I'm the one that cheated Donna. Remember? If I get upset I may lose him. I couldn'thandle that." She said simply before telling Donna she wanted to hear more about what an ass Eric was.
"I'm going to kill you, you scrawny little freak." Hyde announced angrily, stalking over to Eric.
"What'd I do?" Eric asked, genuinely confused.
"You were drowning so you drug me down with you?" Hyde asked dangerously.
"Oh that." Eric said nervously. "You didn't sound like you cared when you were talking about it."
"Well obviously I didn't want my girlfriend knowing I kissed other girls while I was dating her!" Hyde said calmly, frogging Eric in the shoulder, hard. "Sorry man." Eric said genuinely.
"Whatever." Hyde replied, hitting him once more before settling into his chair grumpily. Eric muttered something about the devil and Hyde gave him a warning look. "Shut up Forman."
"Wellwas Jackie pissed about it?" Eric asked cheerfully.
"No! She was acting like it didnt even matter." Hyde grumbled.
"You're mad about that?" Eric asked.
Hyde shrugged. "I was expecting a fight. I prepared for tears. She was all chirpy. Threw me off."
Ericbegan to laugh. "You went over to her house to beg didn't you? Aw that's cute. You lover her." Eric said simply, still laughing. "Shut up man. I don't love her. I barely like her." Ericopened his mouth to reply but Kelso and Fez ran into the room.
"I just had a little talk with your girlfriend." Kelso announced smugly. "Or should I say ex?"
Hyde glared at him. "What thehell are you talkingabout?" He snarled in confusion.Kelso ignored him.
"Don't you want to know what was said?"The boyasked innocently.
"That's cool."
"We're going out tonight. I'm going to nail her." Kelso said happily.
Before anyone knew what was happening, Hyde had jumped out of his chair and lunged at Kelso, wrapping his hands tightly around his neck. "Touch my girlfriend and I'll kill you!" Hyde yelled.
Eric and Fez were trying to yank Hyde off Kelso, but Hyde had a strong grip. "She asked me!"
"That doesn't mean you agree, and it especially doesn't mean you're going to touch her you whore!"
Kelso was almost to the point of passing out when Jackie stalked down the stairs and stared at the boys.
"Steven! What are you doing?" She asked, running over and ripping him off Kelso.
Hyde glared at her before stalking out the door she had just come through. He couldn't believe she was doing something so stupid. She acted like she didn't care about what he'd done and then she went behind his back with his friend!
"What happened?" Eric quickly filled her in on what happened.
Jackie kicked Kelso in the side and ran out the door after Hyde. "Steven, wait up." Jackie said, hurrying after him.
"Aren't you going to wait on Kelso? Nurse him back to health?" Hyde asked sarcastically.
"Steven…I'm not quite sure what your talking about."
"You were going to go out with Kelso? After you told me what happened didn't bother you?"
"What? No! Ashley wanted me to go to a movie with them tonight, I wasn't going anywhere with Kelso!" Jackie cried.
Hyde stopped and stared at her. "Good."
Jackie quickly kissed him on the cheek. "Alright look Steven, Donna thinks I need to come clean so here it is. I care that you kissed other girls. It pisses me off, and it hurts me that you didn't tell me." She said, her eyes flashing. To her surprise, Hyde grinned.
"Thank god."
Jackie arched an eyebrow.
"A fight I can handle, that calm stuff? Never do that to me again." He murmured, grabbing her and kissing her roughly on the lips.
Jackie arched an eyebrow again and stared at him in confusion. "I don't want to fight though. So I will forgive on the basis that you attacked your best friend for me."She said giving him a happy smile.
Hyde smirked and kissed her on the cheek. "Now tell me who you kissed." She demanded.
Hyde groaned. "I was waiting for this."
"You should have been, now tell me who you kissed."
"Why does it even matter?"
"I need to know so I can send Donna to stomp on them with her big giant feet!" Jackie said vehemently with an evil grin.
"Why would Donna stomp on them?" Hyde asked, giving her a strange look.
"She's a giant Steven, it's what she does." Jackie explained.
Hyde laughed. "Alright, so I may have stretched the truth." Hyde admitted with a grin.
"What?" He nodded. "I kissed Pam Macy once and it was only because I was totally wasted and I thought she was you."He looked guiltysoJackie kicked him slightly less hard than she would have.
"How could you think she was me?" She asked indignantly.
Hyde shifted uncomfortably. "Someone spray painted her hair black. She has a shrill voice."
Jackie looked affronted again but did nothing but sigh as his arms came around her to hold her tightly.She kissed him hard on the lips and giggled when he kissed back. It wasn't passionate, or intense, it was playful. "Thank you for telling me." She said. "Whatever." Hyde grumbled back. She laughed and kissed him again.
Jackie was leaning against Hyde, eating a slice of pumpkin pie slowly. "Donna looks so sad." She remarked.
"Yep." Hyde said characteristically.
Jackie laughed quietly. "I'm going to head to the bathroom, go offer Donna some pie." She ordered, kissing him quickly on the mouth before walking up the stairs to the bathroom.
"Hey Donna want some pie?" He asked as he walked up to the tall redhead, two slices of pie in his hands.
"I don't want any stupid pie!" Donna said angrily, jumping up and stalking away.
"I didn't kiss her!" Hyde yelled at her back, Eric sent him an irritated look and chased after Donna.
"Wow, she must have eaten that really quickly." Jackie said with a look of disgust on her face.
"No, she ran out." Hyde informed her. "Oh, did Eric follow her?" Jackie asked. "Yep." Jackie smiled, and sat on his lap chattering happily.
"Steven, take it somewhere else." Red said.
Jackie smiled at Red, who seemed to change his mind. "I want you both to stay where I can see you, or my foot is going so far up your ass." He threatened Hyde. Hyde gave him a funny look but nodded, and the two continued talking until Eric and Donna walked back in.
"Donna! Is everything better?" Jackie asked.
"Yeah." Donna said happily, she was staring at Eric with a dazed look in her eyes. The two couples talked for a while, before Eric headed into the kitchen. He came out a few minutes later laughing. He told everyone about his encounter with Kate. "Oops." He said with a smile. Donna punched him in the leg but laughed as she saw Kelso hovering near the girl. She moved away from the tall boy and ran into Fez. He seemed to have offended her and she moved on again.
"I'll be right back." Jackie told Hyde quickly.
She walked over to Kate and gave the older girl a sugary smile. "It isn't nice going around trying to steal high school girls' boyfriends Kate. It's rude." Jackie said with fake cheerfulness.
Kate smiled sweetly. "It isn't my fault if you young girls can't keep a good grip on your men."
Jackie nodded. "If Donna had heard that she'd sit on you." Jackie said informatively before stomping hard on Kate's foot. "Whore!" She shrieked as Hyde picked her up and threw her over his shoulder.
"You owe us." Hyde told Donna as he passed them.
Donna laughed, and was once again surprised by the level of respect she had for Jackie.
