The next morning, Hyde woke up on the couch and looked around not finding Jackie anywhere. He sat up and yawned, rubbing the sleep out of his eye and stood up to stretch. He heard someone banging around in Jackie's bedroom and he walked towards it to see what was going on. When he got there, he saw Jackie lying on her stomach reaching for things under her bed desperately searching for something.

"Jackie?" He asked.

He startled Jackie so she jumped smacking her head on the bottom of the bed. Hyde jumped when he heard the collision. "Ow!"

"Shit…aww Jacks I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."

He sat down next to her and helped her out from under the bed and she rubbed the top of her head softly. "Ow…morning."

"Good morning. I'm sorry…uh…how's your head?"

"It's been better…"

"What were you doing under there?"

"I was just looking for something."

"What?"

"Um…nothing."

"Jacks…"

"I threw a photo album down there awhile back…it was from High School…and I wanted to know if it was still there or not."

"Can't find it?"

"No…."

"Oh…" He looked at Jackie, her eyes were red and puffy and he looked over at her. "Jacks…is everything ok?"

"Steven…I just…I feel like I've been away from Point Place for so long…and I'm worried everything is different."

"How do you mean?"

"I mean…you guys all have different lives now. Lives that don't include me."

"Jackie…yeah sure some things have changed…but we all miss you. Our lives are better with you in them."

"Really?"

"Of course."

"Well…what's different?"

"Well for starters I don't live in the Foreman's basement anymore."

"What? Why didn't you tell me that? When did you move out?"

"About six months ago…I moved into a house a couple of streets down from the Foreman's. And I guess I didn't tell you because everything else that was going on just made it slip my mind."

"Wow…you bought a house."

"Yeah I figured that it was time for a change…I needed to grow up a bit."

"Steven that's great."

"Yeah…and hm…what else is different…? Well…Fez is like the owner of his own salon." He laughed.

"What? That's a good thing right?"

"Well yeah…it's just the name of the place…"

"What is it?"

"Jackie's."

"What?" She laughed. "Are you serious?"

"Yeah he said he missed you so much, naming the place after you made him feel that you were with him always."

"God…Fez I miss him…" She said chuckling to herself.

"Oh and Kelso and Brooke moved back to Point Place with Betsy…they live a few houses down from me actually."

"Aww…there a real family."

"Yeah…I mean there not married or anything…not yet at least. But there happy."

"That's good…Betsy deserves to have a real family."

"Yeah…and well you know about Eric and Donna…there together but they still live at home. I think there trying to save up enough money to get there own place so that they can eventually get married."

"You think Eric will show up to the wedding?"

"Yeah…otherwise I'm pretty sure that Donna will kill him this time."

She laughed. "Probably."

"And Mr. Foreman misses you…you're the only one that he can stand. And Mrs. Foreman worries about you all the time…and Bob…well Bob's still Bob…but he misses you…says he misses having a second daughter around the house." She smiled. "Oh and Leo finally remembers who you are. He doesn't call you Loud Girl anymore."

"Really?"

"Yeah…"

"And what about you…" She said staring intently at him.

"Well as for me…I wake up in my new house, go to work come home, sometimes hang out with the gang…and other nights I go up to Mt. Hump and just sit…and think."

"Think about what?"

"About you…and how I should have tried harder to get you to stay…how things could have been different for us."

She sighed. "Steven it wasn't just your fault. It was both of us…we both made mistakes."

"Yeah…well my life pretty much sucks without you."

"I am pretty amazing aren't I?" She said triumphantly.

"Yeah Jacks your pretty amazing."

"So…if I came back to Point Place…then everyone would be happy?"

"More than happy."

"I mean…would it be like it was before…"

"Not exactly…but kind of. Were all the same people…just a bit more grown up now. But that's not a bad thing."

She took a deep breathe. "Ok…"

"Ok…so…what do you want to do today? I mean it's your last day in the City."

"Well…I want to take you somewhere."

"Ok…where?"

"Get dressed and meet me down in the lobby in fifteen minutes."

"Can I get a hint?" He said with a cute little smile that made her heart melt.

"No…but trust me it's amazing."

Jackie stood up from her place on the floor and went into the bathroom to change, Hyde smiled as she walked away and went to get ready for wherever she was taking him. She had told him to meet her in the lobby so he left since she wasn't ready yet. He stood in the lobby looking around, then he saw the elevator door open and Jackie walked out in a white sundress that went to her knees. It was the end of May so it was rather warm out, her hair was falling freely in loose curls around her shoulders and she had white flip flows up. Her make up was light; the bruises on her face were barley visible. Her attire made him think about their first summer together and his mind took a trip down memory lane.


Foreman's Basement June 1977

Hyde was sitting in his usual chair watching Samantha twitch her nose to cast one of her spells. He was bored out of his mind when the tiny, hot as hell brunette walked into the room, her skin sun kissed, her pink sundress hanging ever so loosely on her fit body. Her curls fell over her shoulders and her lips were the perfect shade of pink, they were just begging to be kissed. She smiled seductively at Hyde and sat on the couch and put her feet up on the coffee table exposing her tanned thigh to him. She was playing with him again…and boy did he like it.

"Steven…" She said coolly.

"Jackie." He replied.

"How are you?"

"Fine."

"Aren't you going to ask me how I am?"

"No…I would only do that if I cared."

"Uh. Whatever."

He smiled. She was using Zen. "Yeah…whatever."

Jackie rolled her eyes and twirled the hair around her finger gently and moved to get more comfortable making her dress lift up a bit more exposing even more skin to him. He gulped trying to keep his cool.

"Steven…it's so hot in here…do the Foreman's have a fan or something?"

"Uh…" He said staring at her like he wanted to rip her cloths off.

"Steven…Steven are you even listening to me?"

"What? Oh…right…what were you saying?"

"A fan…do the Foreman's have a fan we can use? It's hot down here."

"Oh yeah…I think there's one in my room."

"Ok…" She said expectantly.

"Ok…what?" He said confused.

"Well why don't you go get it." She said getting annoyed with his behavior.

"Excuse me?" He said angrily.

"Well you don't expect me to go into that dingy little room of yours do you?"

"Look princess…you're the one that's hot. Not me."

"You think I'm hot?" She said seductively leaning forward exposing most of her chest to him knowing exactly what she was doing to him.

But he tried to stay strong…or as strong as he could. "Look Jackie…just go get the damn fan yourself if you think it's hot in here." He said staring at her cleavage.

"Ok first of all…you didn't answer my question. And second of all…my eyes are up here buddy." She said taking his chin and lifting it up to her eye level just inches from his face.

"Right…your eyes." He said licking his lips leaning forward hoping to capture her lips in a searing kiss like he had been doing all summer.

She smiled when she saw he wanted her. "Well then…I guess I'll just have to go get the fan myself."

She pulled away and stood up to go Hyde's room just before his lips descended on hers. He fell to his knees on the hard
concrete floor and cursed himself as he saw Jackie walking away with a triumphant sway of her hips. He sat there for a few moments trying to figure out how in the hell she had just did that to him…he sighed and then stood up to follow her into his room. He was angry…but when he saw her standing on his bed reaching for the fan on the top shelf. Her hips were swaying even more and she was straining her neck making a sexy little whimpering noise when trying to reach for it. He groaned inwardly and grabbed her hips and threw her down on his bed causing a shriek of surprise to come from her pouty little lips. Btu she didn't have time to respond to him as his lips descend on hers. He positioned himself over her taking her all in, feeling each and every curve of her body underneath him and she whimpered in his mouth before pushing him back.

"Steven Hyde just what do you think your doing!?"

"That was a sly little stunt you pulled back there Jackie Burkhart."

"What stunt?" She said playing dumb.

"That walking in there like you owned the place, showing me some skin…leaning forward seductively and then leaving before I could kiss you. Where'd you learn that?"

She laughed. "Oh ya know…just picked it up somewhere."

"Well it was damn good."

"I try…"

"You know you don't have to try so hard…if you just walk in here and say Steven I want to make out I'll totally be up for it."

She laughed. "Yeah well…I think its more fun this way…seducing you that is."

He smiled wickedly at her. "Who knew you were such a naughty girl." He said nuzzling her neck.

"Oh there's a lot you have to learn about me Steven…"

"And I look forward to leaning it all…and I mean all of it." He said staring down at her before leaning down to kiss her again.

"Hey wait…what about the fan?"

"It can wait…" He said smiling at her and pulling her in for another mind blowing kiss.


New York City Apartment Lobby

Jackie stared at Hyde as he stared at her looking like he was lost or something.

"Steven…" She said taking his hand.

He snapped out of his gaze and looked her in the eyes. "Oh sorry…just…uh…just spaced out there for a moment."

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah sure…you look beautiful."

"What this old thing? I've had it forever." She said twirling in front of him.

He smiled. "Well…you look beautiful."

"Why thank you."

"So where are you taking me?"

"All in good time Steven…all in good time."

"Fine…well lead the way." He stuck out her arm for her to take which she gladly accepted.

"Why thank you kind sir."

"Anything for you m'lady."

He smiled as this beautiful girl led him out of the apartment complex…Steven Hyde had fallen hard for Jackie that day in the basement…and his life had never been the same. Because now he knew…this was where he belonged. Forever.
