"No, this is all your fault! Morons!" he yelled, glaring at Destroy and Give-Back.

"I don't like your tone." Destroy huffed. "I want my money back."

Eric pulled it out of the can, ripped it in half and handed it to him. "Oh, I'm sorry!" he said sarcastically.

Destroy and Give-Back looked confused, and stomped off, ignoring that Eric and Donna were mocking them behind their retreating backs. They looked over at Jackie, who was standing alone and grinned, elbowing each-other. Hyde, standing behind Eric and Donna, frowned and walked over. He didn't know why- not like he cared if she got hassled, right?

But, when he saw them flanking her, and her wide-eyed look, he rushed over.

"Jackie!" he said sharply. "C'mere." he said, putting a gentle hand on her wrist to lead her away from them.

Jackie looked at Hyde gratefully, a "my hero" expression plastered over her face, deep in her eyes, which unnerved Hyde for some reason.

"That was very rude." Destroy informed him.

"Yeah, we were having a conversation." Give-Back threw in.

"She didn't look like she was enjoying it much." Hyde said coolly, pulling Jackie behind him.

By now, the rest of the gang had gathered behind them.

"What do you care, Hyde? I thought she was Kelso's little slut."

Jackie gasped.

Hyde had no idea what possessed him, but, he reached out and punched Destroy. Give-Back looked like he might retaliate on behalf of his friend, so he clocked him as well. Silently, he walked back towards the center of the empty pool, leading Jackie by a hand on her hip.

Jackie smiled at Hyde, reaching out and kissing him on the cheek.

"Hey..." he grumbled, though, he didn't really mind.

"Jackie!" Kelso pouted.

"Hey, he protected my virtues- which, by the way, Micheal, you were two feet away and didn't even try."

"Let me actually touch your virtue and I'll protect it." Kelso blurted.

Jackie's jaw dropped, her face turning bright red. But, Hyde started laughing.

"You... you've been going out five months, and you haven't gotten to third?" he laughed, so hard he was almost gasping, "Heh, heh, heh... that's... that's funny... Well, funny in a way that you're completely lame, but that's funny..."

"Oh, I've gotten there!" Kelso said defensively. "She just hits me every time I do. Last time she kicked me."

Hyde rolled his eyes at him, shaking his head, but was saved from making a response by Eric.

"So... what are we gonna do about the no tap, man?"

"Your dad has a tap, Foreman..."
