A/N: Thanks for yalls awesome reviews! They've made me happy knowing that you really like my story so far and want more xD so, your wish is my command, and without further ado, here's another installment to the story…woo hoo! ;P

….

They could see the two story building already from the parking space they had commandeered right nearby; Fez was nice enough to have a 'VIP: Forman's' sign to save the closest space for his 'family.' The building was sleek and more modern than any of them were used to with windows galore and a tall wood French door entryway and all sorts of exotic plants and statues surrounding it. A little gaudy maybe, but this was Fez.

"Wow, wouldja look at that piece of work." Red stared at it like the 'alien' building it was.

"I dunno, I kinda like it." Bob commented, combing through his perm with an afro-comb.

Red eyed him strangely. "Yea…you would."

"Now, now," Kitty started, ushering the group to move along to the entryway where other people began to gather, "more walk-y, less talk-y…I don't wanna get stuck in the back with all the riff-raff, being blocked with the giant hair-dos…I swear these women are gussied up like they were the president's whores."

Red abruptly turned around once they got to the entry way. "Now, Kitty…you're much prettier than any whore here." Red said with a grin, obvious sarcasm in his backhanded compliment. Bob didn't pick up on it.

"I agree, you clean up real nice." He grinned toothily.

Kitty just rolled her eyes in mild exasperation.

…

Hyde eyed the crowd, casually scanning this way and that for anyone that might be of importance…importance to him, that is, though he wouldn't let his friends know. He actually kind of hoped she wouldn't show. Sadly for him though, his friends may have been stupid, but they weren't dense.

"Looking for something 'eagle eye'?" Eric queried from seemingly out of nowhere, causing Hyde to jump just a little, though he quickly composed himself, it wasn't a noticeable start.

Donna sashayed her way up to him conspiratorially with her hands on her upper arms as if to keep her wrap in place. "Yea, I don't think she's here yet." She grinned.

"I don't know what you guys are talking about." He feigned ignorance. "I'm just trying to see if any famous dudes show up…you know…I hear they come to things like this all the time."

"Nah-ah, you're lying…you know how I know you're lying? 'Cuz you don't care about famous people or things like that." Kelso deduced, holding his head high like this knowledge was superior.

"Damn." Hyde said dismissively, sarcastically. "Why, oh why, are you so observant." He added sarcastically.

"It's cuz I'm on the force." He puffed his chest out like some kind of badass, "Yea, us cops are great with observation."

"It could also be ADHD…you don't focus on one thing for long but when you do…watch out…" Donna jibed.

"Nuh-uh, Donna!—Oh look! It's Fez!" he had a goofy look on his face as their friend and brother took to the podium. Donna just smirked and shook her head, then focused on the tan boy in front of them, as they all did.

…

"Friends," Fez began his speech, "Family," he looked to where the Forman's were dead center. Both Red and Kitty smiled up at him with a hint of pride. "It is my great pleasure to finally realize my dream has come true. I truly never thought this day would come. Ever since I came from the country of-"

At that moment two cars drove by, one of them honking maniacally to the one in front to drive faster 'Get off the road you lollygaggin' son of a bitch!' the voice screamed.

"…and without the love and support of my 'family'," he gestured to them all with his arm and everyone looked at them, "I never would have made it this far…so without further ado…" he picked up a pair of actual hair cutting scissors, "WELCOME TO 'FABULOCKS'!" he cut the metallic red ribbon and everyone cheered.

As the crowd made their way in to tour the establishment, Fez made his way to his group.

"Hey, I'm so glad you could make it!" he greeted and hugged every one of them. He eyed Kitty, "Oh, wow, might I say, well done mama!" he winked and she blushed with an 'Oh Fez…'

Red just looked at him…at his shirt. It was a sparkly iridescent black long sleeve with blue shimmer, he wore it with beige slacks and 'gator black boots and a belt.

"See Red, it's the in-thing." Bob said gesturing to Fez's shirt. Red just rolled his eyes with a groan.

"Hey, nice speech Fez." Eric complimented his buddy.

Fez grinned bashfully. "Yes, thank you…and I meant every word of it." He looked at each of their faces. "All your smiles swell me with happiness…but," he looked perplexed, "there is one smiling face I don't see…"

Kitty caught his saddened expression, knowing who he was referring to. "Oh, don't worry sweetie…I'm sure Jackie'll be here." She tried to console.

"Yea, I mean, she is all the way in New York…she wouldn't miss this for a chance in 'Vogue'" Donna reasoned, then, "Oh…well actually I'm not sure about that…" she teased, causing Fez to laugh.

"Oh, you are right Donna, I'm sure she has a good reason for not being here."

"Jackie's coming?" Bob inquired as to their conversation, "Wow, I haven't seen that kid since she left last year…you know, after you" he looked at Steven, "married the stripper-"

"Okay, Bob, that's enough." Red cut him off, ushering him away from Hyde, who had a nervous, guilty look about him.

"Well," Kelso clapped a hand on Hyde's back, "Looks like you dodged a bullet on that one, Hyde."

"Yea, I guess you're right…"

"But I know what'll bring up your spirits." Kelso waggled his eyebrows up and down suggestively. Hyde looked at him with a smirk, "AFTER PARTY YEAHHH!" He broke away from the group to run straight for the party area. Hyde's smirk fell. That's not the kind of spirit lifter he was thinking of.

He sighed as they all made their way to where the party would take place. Kelso was right…he had dodged a bullet. Hopefully the shooter wasn't an excellent marksman the second time around.

…..

The flight seemed longer than it actually was. It was already forty-five minutes passed the time the grand opening was supposed to start, so they just decided to make it to the after party. After all, there was no way Jackie was missing the party. As they grabbed their overnight bags and headed for their hotel however, Jackie couldn't help but begin to feel the quaking butterflies in her stomach fluttering like a storm.

"You alright, Jaxie?" Todd asked her in a concerned tone when he couldn't hear her rustling. He was fastening the last button on his deep plum colored dress shirt, tucking it into his black slacks; then plopping on the bed to tie his patent leather dress shoes. He looked sharp with his gelled hair.

She was in the room's vanity area slipping on her dress, for she had already done her wavy hair and make-up. "Yea," she broke from her trance, "Can you help me with this though?" She walked on over to him and turned around, obviously asking him to zip up her dress.

"Sure." He obliged. It was a flowy violet dress ending right at her knees with thin straps and a heart-shaped neckline, only barely exposing cleavage.

"Thanks."

"No problem," he looked her up and down, "you look fabulous." He smiled warmly. She only blushed as she made her way for the finishing touches, sitting on the bed as he had to put on her shoes. They were strappy sandals of black satin that matched her purse and shawl she wore for their 'Mamma Mia' 'date.'

"Well…" she started as she rose from the bed. She began to feel a bit nauseous to which he took note.

"It will be fine Jaxie." He squeezed her shoulders comfortingly from behind, whispering in her ear. "You finally get to see your friends that you haven't seen in so long…I'm sure everything will work out like a plan." He then spun her around to look at him. "Trust me." He winked and gave another chaste kiss on the corner of her mouth.

"Yea, thanks." She smiled. "Let's go." She grabbed her bag as he grabbed his black coat and left; off to the party and the surprises ahead.

….

"You havin' fun there Red?" Hyde asked in amusement as his 'father' downed another drink from the open bar.

"I hate these things…I hate people…but it's funny," he said as he looked at his drink with mock curiosity, "the more alcohol I put in my system, the more tolerable these idiots become." He ended with a cruel laugh.

"I hear ya…where's Mrs. Forma-"

He was cut off as 'Mrs. Forman' made her way to her husband, stumbling somewhat. "Oh my goodness these things are amazing!" she shouted as she held up her hand for another 'Manhattan', they were her favorite.

Hyde laughed, "You too, Mrs. Forman?" he tutted in mock disappointment.

"Oh, hush Steven…I asked Bob to get me another but he went off with some hoochie mama…I know 'cause I saw him leave toward the bathrooms." She said disgustedly, Red groaning his disgust as well.

"I guess the ladies really do like the shirt." He grinned as Red rolled his eyes, then added, "well at least someone's gonna get lucky tonight." He said looking away toward the crowd of people.

Kitty and Red gave each other a look, somewhat worried. "Oh now Steven, for gosh sakes this is a party, go…go mingle with everyone else." She shooed him, hoping he'd have some fun.

"Alright," he said as he got ready to perhaps go and talk to his friends, "but you two go easy on the sauce." He smirked and walked away.

"Do you think I'll be getting lucky tonight?" Red questioned, smirking at his wife wolfishly.

Kitty giggled, "Oh…you bet your sweet Navy buns you will." She swatted him on his butt, which took him a little by surprise.

"You know, I think Steven's right about the sauce-oh what the hell…TWO MORE, MAC!" He said waving his glass over to the bartender, who quickly obliged.

….

"Hey." Hyde made his way over to the gang.

"Hey, where've you been, talking to the old folk?" Donna teased.

"Now, Donna, they have much to teach us…" he began in mock defense, "For example, Red's getting' laid tonight." He smirked at the disgusted look on Eric's face.

"AWWW GROSSS!...what the hell Hyde!" he shook his head of the obvious image coming to mind…too late.

"Where's Kelso?" he asked, dismissing Eric's obvious disdain toward him at the moment.

"Oh, he went off to the bathroom," Fez answered, "And speaking of 'going off'…how do you feel about Jackie not showing up?" he eyed him with his arms crossed as if putting him on the spot, wanting to know his feelings on the subject.

Hyde just looked at him and opened his mouth about to answer his nosy friend when all of a sudden the doors swung open and none other than the subject of their conversation came walking in, in in all her beautiful glory. The world seemed to stop for him and as soon as she noticed him, it seemed like the world came to a stop for her too, as they both stared at each other like no one else existed, though with a scared, 'caught in the headlights' kind of expression about both their visages.

"Speak of the devil." Eric chuckled at his lame pun, all of them eyeing Hyde as to what he might do, then to Jackie.

Their eye contact was broken, however, when Jackie abruptly looked away from him to this other guy that held her arm and had her smiling. He tensed at that. What the hell was that about? He thought to himself as the feeling he used to get when he'd see Kelso around her reared its ugly, unwelcome head once again.

…
