Disclaimer: Don't own anything but the slightly changed plotline.

Yay! Hyde's finally living with the Formans! Who else is happy? And I bet you're looking forward to seeing how I handle Bud's return, right? :)

As a quick, early warning, Bud isn't just going to be a physical abuser, he's going to be a mental abuser. Now, mental and verbal abuse are a lot different than most people think; verbal abuse is simply name calling, shouting, yelling, things like that. Mental abuse is usually done by a master manipulator, who knows how to get into people's heads and screw with their psyche, which attributes largely to Hyde's severe fear of him, so... yeah, Bud's going to be a bit dark. I figured I should give people a heads up, even if his return is pretty far away.

Kitty danced around the kitchen to the music on the radio happily as she prepared breakfast plates for everyone. She wanted to have a large breakfast meal, as it was Steven's first morning here and she wanted him to feel welcome. She smiled happily as she set the plates in front of her family.

"Wow, thanks, Mrs. Forman," Hyde grinned, though it was real small, and his eyes were a bit dull. She winced, knowing that had a bit to do with her and Red; they had asked him to talk again earlier this morning, wanting him to be able to face his fears, knowing that talking about it was the first step, which was why it was mostly about Bud. Her eyes dimmed a little when she thought of the new information Steven shared with them this morning before clamping up again; Bud using his belt, locking him in closets... Kitty huffed; the next time she sees that man...

"You know," Hyde suddenly chirped, unused to seeing so much food at once, "We never had waffles at my house. My ma always said that waffles were a luxury, like, um... pillow cases or... not gettin' hit."

Kitty gave him a concerned look, Eric a wide eyed one. Red frowned at him, knowing he was just a bit snippy about their talk this morning. When he stopped talking, he and Kitty decided it was best to do it in intervals, whether Steven liked it or not. Red wasn't one to talk about his feelings either, but he knew this was something Steven needed to get off his chest.

Hyde sighed, knowing they just wanted to help. They didn't know he had told Jackie pretty much everything he could think of about Bud, Edna, and her many boyfriends. But, she was much easier to talk to, plus it took several hours before he was able stumble everything out, and he didn't really feel much better about it like he thought he would. He figured telling someone he had a harder time with would help, which is why he didn't tell Kitty and Red that he told Jackie, but it didn't. He just felt worse after saying it, and he wondered if he would ever get over it.

"Man, this so cool!" Hyde grinned a little brighter as he began cutting through his waffles, and Kitty smiled.

"Well, you are welcome, Steven," She said as she set a waffle on top of Red's scrambled eggs, "See, Eric, I told you I was cool."

Red shot Eric a look, ignoring Steven as he scarfed down his food. "Eric," He said, "Did you tell your mother she's not cool?"

"What?" Eric stuttered, and Hyde glanced at his nervous friend, "Well, I mean-"

"Well, stop telling your mother she's not cool," Red demanded, ignoring Kitty tapping his shoulder to get him to stop.

"Well, fine, mom, you're..." Eric trailed off before bursting out, "Super fly!"

Hyde's chest shook when he held in a snort, and Kitty smiled, "Well, thank you, honey." She leaned down next to Hyde, "Now, Steven, would you like maple syrup or blueberry syrup?"

He actually just shot her a confused look, "You have syrup?"

"Ohh," She sighed with a small smile, rushing to go get the syrup.

Hyde grinned again, "Man, I love it here."

"And we love havin' you here, man," Eric smiled, "You're like the brother I never had. I mean, I have a sister, but I hate 'er, so this is great." He ignored the look Red shot him at the sister comment.

"Eric," Red said in retaliation, "After breakfast, I want you to rake the yard."

"Rake? But, Dad, I was gonna-"

"I'll do it," Hyde interrupted as he took a bite of his bacon, and everyone shot him funny looks. He glanced around, a 'what?' look in his eyes.

"Okay, Steven," Red said in shock as he turned his attention back to his breakfast.

Eric stared at Hyde with an open mouth for a long moment before smiling happily. "Oh my God," He mumbled before shouting, holding up his arms, "I love my new brother!"

Hyde simply grinned at him and gave him a thumbs up.

There was no way he was gonna freakin' hug him.

Jackie held back a laugh as she watched Fez and Kelso play with their Pop Rox. Kelso enjoyed the popping with a slightly open mouth and a huge grin, while Fez looked nervous.

"It is popping," Fez said nervously, making Jackie giggle, "Help me, it is popping in my mouth!"

"Fez," Jackie laughed, "Fez, they're Pop Rox. Okay, that's what they do; they pop."

"Hey, Jackie," Kelso grinned, "You know what would be cool to do with these in your mouth?"

Jackie curled her lip at him, narrowing her eyes just as the basement door opened and Eric and Donna came walking through.

"Oh, look, Donna," Eric said in a dramatic fashion, "Everyone's here. And I thought we'd be all alone." He swiped his forehead, "Phew!"

"Oh, I get it," Fez smiled, "They want to make out."

Kelso grinned, handing Eric the Pop Rox, "Pshh, for her pleasure."

Jackie rolled her eyes, standing from the back of the couch and walking toward the basement stairs. She wanted to know how Steven's first day at the Formans' was, and she hasn't seen him all day.

"Well," Fez glanced between Kelso and Jackie, "If I cannot watch them make out, can I watch you two make out?"

Kelso shrugged, beginning to walk toward Jackie, "Yeah, sure."

"Eww, no you idiot!" Jackie shrieked, running up the stairs.

"Kelso," Donna said, "Number one; Jackie's your best friend's girlfriend. Number two; aren't you and Annette still together?"

Kelso shrugged, "Yeah. Why?"

Donna gave him a pursed smile, "No reason."

"Ooo," Fez smiled as he and Kelso walked toward the basement door, "I can watch you and Annette make out!"

Kelso gave him a grin, holding up with hand with his thumb and pointer finger together as they shut the door behind them.

Donna turned to Eric as they took a seat on the couch, "We have strange friends."

Eric nodded with wide eyes.

"Steven," Jackie said with a bewildered smile as she entered the kitchen, stopping at the sight of Hyde sitting at the table with a book and papers spread out around him. "What're you doing?" She asked as she took a seat next to him.

"Homework," He deadpanned as he looked up at her, "Mrs. Forman found out I failed a test... and I'm not too sure about what happened after that..."

Jackie gave him a laughing smile, glancing outside when she sure Kelso and Fez's shouts, as well as the noise of a bouncing basketball. "Well," She said, standing, "I doubt you'd be able to concentrate out here."

"I think she's right, Steven," Kitty said as she walked into the kitchen, watching Kelso and Fez fool around. "Why don't you go study in the basement?" She smiled at him, "I'm sure your teacher will let you take the test again."

Hyde slowly nodded, releasing a deep breath as he stood, following Jackie into the basement. He was a little annoyed with himself for falling for that disappointed glint in Mrs. Forman's eyes; he didn't know why, but he didn't like that look. He wished he didn't care. Studying wasn't his thing; kicking the books out of the hands of kids who did study was his thing.

"Hey, take it outside," He grumbled when he heard the gross sounds of Donna and Eric sucking face, "I gotta do my homework in here, Frenchie."

Eric laughed sarcastically as Hyde took his usual seat, Jackie standing beside him, "Good one." Hyde lifted an eyebrow, waiting for Eric to finish, "Now get out."

"No, I'm serious, man, your mom just found out I failed a test."

"She yell at you?" Donna asked.

"No," Hyde muttered, looking quite confused with whatever had transpired between him and Kitty, "But she said she was really disappointed. And before I knew what I was doing, I told her I'd try harder."

"No," Donna shook her head, grinning.

"Yeah," Hyde sighed, looking quite disappointed in himself for agreeing to study.

The sound of footsteps turned everyone's attention to Kitty as she walked down into the basement with her usual smile, a plate in hand.

"Oh, okay, now here," She said, walking toward Hyde, "I brought you a sandwich to help you study." She sat the plate next to his book on the coffee table, and Hyde couldn't help but give her a soft smile.

"Thanks, Mrs. Forman," He murmured, snatching up a potato chip.

"Now, Eric," Kitty said absentmindedly, "Jackie is trying to help Steven study, don't bother him. Why don't you and Donna go up to your bedroom?"

Eric and Donna shared an eager glance before hopping off the couch, Eric answering with a much too excited, "Okay!"

Jackie and Hyde raised their eyebrows at Kitty, and she blushed when she caught on to what she said. She quickly ran in front of Eric and Donna, holding up her hands. "I mean no, no, bad idea. Just go outside to a well lit, supervised area, and talk politely like decent young adults." She quickly herded them toward the basement door, and Eric gave a fake, cheesy smile.

"Jee wiz, that sounds super, mom!" He cried in fake excitement, rolling his eyes as he shut the door behind him.

Kitty quickly turned to Hyde as Jackie took a seat on the couch closest to Hyde. "I'm so glad your studying for history, Steven," She said happily, "I know you probably weren't expected to study much at home," she ignored the raised eyebrow, "But, I know you have potential. You're very smart, Steven."

"Thanks, Mrs. Forman," He mumbled as she gave him a mothering kiss on the top of his head before hurrying up the stairs.

Jackie gave him a soft smile as she swiped a chip, "You know, you studying is making her really happy."

"Whatever," He murmured, turning the pages of his book.

And he was studying.

He was actually, freaking studying.

The next day, he completely ignored Kelso and Fez's questions and their shouts as they chased each other around with the basketball. Jackie sat on one of the porch chairs, watching as he tossed garbage into a trash bag, opening another when the first became too full.

A half hour passed by as Jackie watched Hyde sort out the garage, ignoring Kelso and Fez's pleas for him to come play ball with them. He started with throwing the trash into the bags, then sorted out the very few items Kitty kept in the garage, as well as Red's tools and the large pile of items that consisted of bolts, washers, and screws.

She continued watching after the half hour became a full one, and he had gotten all of the items into groups and sorted out. Kelso and Fez had gotten so fascinated themselves that they had stopped playing and leaned against the Cruiser to watch Hyde clean. He was currently sweeping the dust, dirt, and leaves that the weather had blown into the garage into another trash bag.

After he was done, he went around back for the hose to clean the cement of the garage. She laughed when he sprayed Kelso and Fez, the two yelping and running away at the feel of the icy water, before he turned it to the cement. Kelso and Fez shook off a little, walking to the porch. Fez took the second porch seat, while Kelso used the basketball as a makeshift seat. They glanced over for a brief second when Eric walked outside, drinking some iced tea.

"Okay, man," Kelso called after him after he put the hose up, "You're done cleanin' the garage, let's play some ball!"

"Hang on, man," Hyde said, tossing the bags into the can, "I gotta take out the trash." He picked up the trash can, walking it to the curb so the garbage truck could grab it.

"You know, Hyde," Kelso said, standing and following him, basketball in hand, "Seeing you work hard, and take pride in what you do, I've lost a lot of respect for you, man."

Jackie rolled her eyes, walking over to stand next to Hyde, who only shrugged at Kelso's comment.

"Yes," Fez agreed, standing beside Kelso, "You used to be my hero. My lazy, American hero."

"Don't listen to 'em, Hyde," Eric grinned as he walked over, "I think it's great that you're doin' all my chores."

"Wow, Eric, great job on the garage!" Hyde tensed when he heard Red's comment, looking at the man with hesitant eyes, unsure of whether or not he'd believe him if he took the credit.

"Thanks," Eric chirped, and Jackie sent him a dark glare, rubbing Hyde's arm. Eric caught the look, lowering his eyes, mumbling quickly, "Hyde did it."

"Yeah, well," Red grinned as he walked over to them, shuffling his wallet out of his pocket, "I should've known. It's actually clean." He took out a few bills, holding them out to Hyde, "Nice job."

Hyde looked at him for a moment; he's been feeling unsure of himself ever since he was welcomed into the Forman home, unused to such an atmosphere. Red gave him a reassuring grin, and Hyde hesitantly took the money as Red refolded his wallet into his pocket.

Red stared at Eric with a fake grin when he held out his hand, "What did you do?"

"I..." Eric stuttered, "...Love you...?"

"Well," Red chirped, shaking Eric's hand, "I love you, too."

"Okay, well here we all are," Kitty smiled as Laurie, Eric, and Hyde entered the kitchen and took their seats.

"So," She said, scooping up some cold slaw on her plate, "How'd you do on your history paper?"

"Well, history-"

"Oh, I'm sorry," Kitty interrupted Eric, "I was talking to Steven."

"Well, I must say all that studying really paid off," Hyde grinned.

"Oh, yeah," Laurie muttered nastily, "What'd ya get, a D?"

"No," Hyde muttered defensively before grinning proudly, "I gotta C minus." He ignored the funny look Eric sent him, choosing, instead, to listen to Kitty's cheer and Red's gruff, happy response.

"I gotta B," Eric smiled.

"You just couldn't get an A, could you?" Red grouched.

"Oh, honey, don't listen to your father, you did super," Kitty chirped before smiling widely at Hyde, "And Steven, you did super duper!"

"Why does he getta duper?" Eric asked in a small voice.

"Because," Red answered as he scooped up some rice, "We expect more from you."

"Yeah, gimme a break, Forman," Hyde mumbled, "I don't have a mommy." He gave a small grin at Eric's incredulous look.

"Don't sweat it, Eric," Laurie smiled, "You can only be as smart as God made you... or didn't."

"Okay, didn't you just flunk out of college?"

"Get bent, twerp!"

"Wear a bra!"

"Can we please not fight?" Hyde muttered, ignoring the funny, narrowed eyed look Eric sent him. He just wanted a quiet dinner; for once, he wanted a family moment that didn't involve shouting or smacking.

"Can we please not fight?" Laurie mocked in a baby voice.

"Could you please not suck?" Eric muttered, shrinking slightly under the dark look Hyde sent him before going back to his dinner.

"Okay, shut up," Red interrupted, "Now, we're gonna have a nice, quiet dinner. Eric, you try to be more like Steven."

Hyde grinned at Eric smugly, though there was a hint of malice behind it.

"Hey," Donna grinned as she walked into the kitchen, finding Hyde washing the dishes, "You get in trouble?"

"Nope," He mumbled, keeping his attention on his work.

"Wow, you voluntarily chose to do this," Donna smiled, "Aw, you do have a heart!"

"So, you meetin' Forman in the basement?" Hyde asked, "Or Jackie? She's down there with everyone, too."

"No," Donna mumbled, taking a seat on a stool, "I need to talk to someone who actually gets it, so..."

"Bob and Midge?"

"Hyde, they won't stop screaming at each other!" Donna suddenly cried, her face flushing as her eyes watered, "Every night, I fall asleep to them shouting, and when I wake up, they're still going at it! It's not... I hate it!"

Hyde set the dishes down, as well as the scrubber, and took a seat next to Donna on the other stool. She leaned forward, laying her head on his shoulder, sniffling, and he ran his fingers through her hair soothingly, thankful Forman wasn't up here; he really wasn't in the mood to deal with his jealousy, and he didn't want to add jealousy over Donna into it.

"Tina okay?"

"No..." Donna mumbled, "She's starting to sleep in my room; the fighting makes her cry, and she doesn't like to cry alone. I don't know what to do, Hyde..."

"Look," Hyde sighed, "Bob and Midge are too preoccupied with themselves, alright? They're fighting over the wrong reasons, and they're not thinking about how it'll affect you or Tina, okay? You need to tell them it's driving you crazy before it actually does."

"They won't listen..."

"Well, you gotta make 'em. You won't get anywhere if you don't try, Donna."

She sniffled again, her face clearing up as she nodded slowly, a thoughtful expression on her face, "Yeah, okay. Thanks..."

"It's cool," Hyde grinned as he stood, going back over to the sink to restart on the dishes, "Look, go talk to Jackie. She'll probably tell ya somethin' about money, but it'll cheer ya right up."

Donna snorted a little, rolling her eyes with a grin as she walked toward the basement door in the kitchen, brushing passed Eric, Kelso, and Fez as they made their way up.

"Oh, hey, Donna..." Eric trailed off, realizing she wasn't paying attention as she walked downstairs. He shrugged, glancing over at Hyde as he opened the fridge.

Hyde ignored Kelso and Fez as they took seats on the stools, thinking about Forman's recent behavior. He was acting like a jealous dink. What's there to be jealous of, exactly? The fact that Edna let Bud and her boyfriends smack him around? The fact that both, not just one, of his parents took off and left him behind? Kitty and Red are just trying to make him feel welcome, and he's not good with words, so he just decided to show them his gratitude. It's not his fault Forman's too lazy to do his simple damn chores. It's not his fault Forman has to talk back every time Red asks him to do these simple damn chores. Hell, he'd kill for a dad like Red, do all the chores he'd ask of him; he may be a hard ass, but at least he cares about his family.

He didn't understand because Eric had been so worried about him before, sneaking out to talk to Hyde about his missing mother, bringing him a sandwich. He even started a yelling match with him when he realized how long Hyde had been living alone. But, now it's like those moments never happened, acting as if Hyde was the bad guy in this situation.

He sighed when he realized his hand was shaking due to the too tight grip he had on the plate. He relaxed a little, going back to scrubbing it, hearing the clink of the fridge as Eric shut it.

"You almost done there, Hazel?" He mocked, and Hyde felt himself tense up. He's had an extremely stressful two months after Edna left, and just when he thought he could relax, Forman wouldn't let him; he was getting sick of it. He took a deep, calming breath, going back to his scrubbing, ignoring Kelso and Fez's snickering.

"See, that's funny, cuz, uh," Kelso stumbled over his silent laughter, "Hazel is a maid."

Hyde gave them a mocking, open mouthed look, before grinning at them slightly, shrugging. Kelso and Fez have been much more supportive about his 'new behavior' than Forman, having a minor understanding of Hyde's previous home life. They were a bit dimwitted, having almost childish mindsets, so their knowledge of what went on was very limited, but that didn't make them worry any less; he could put up with their jokes a lot better than Forman's.

"Or, you could call him Alice, too," Fez giggled, and Hyde pointed the scrubber at him threateningly, making Fez retreat a little behind Kelso; Hyde could turn pretty much anything into a weapon.

"Shut up, Fez," Hyde ordered, though there was an easy note behind his words, not really meaning them as he got in on the joking with the two.

Fez, catching onto the fact that he didn't really mean his threat, giggled, "Oh, you look so tough with that scrubber in your hand." Kelso snickered, and Hyde snorted, shaking his head with a small laugh.

"Yeah, Hyde," Eric's voice made him tense up again, "Red and Kitty aren't even here. I mean, you're kissing phantom butt."

Kelso and Fez glanced at Hyde a bit hesitantly. They had a small Circle together while Eric was over at Donna's, and Hyde had complained to them about Eric's behavior; they took note of it after Hyde told them and they knew what to look for. It kind of bugged them as well; Eric knew even better than they did about Hyde's previous home, so he should be happy for their friend, right?

"You know what, Forman?" Hyde muttered, turning to look at Eric with raised brows; if he was so jealous, then he should just do something about it, "I used to think Red was a real hard ass. But, after doing your chores for the last five days, I've come to the conclusion that you're just a lazy, spoiled brat."

"Ooooo," Fez and Kelso giggled, making Hyde grin as he turned back to his work.

"Hazel never talked like that," Fez grinned, and Hyde sent him a playful smirk, laughing with them as Kelso nudged Fez's arm, snickering.

"Hey," Eric stuttered, "That, that's not fair, you've been doing my chores for five days. Try sixteen years!"

Hyde shrugged, shaking his head, "I'm just grateful, Forman."

"Well, stop it! You're makin' me look bad."

Hyde, Kelso, and Fez shrugged.

"I mean, what happened to the psychotic trouble maker we all know and love?"

"You are a little psychotic, my friend," Fez mumbled, and Hyde sent him a funny look.

"Look, put down the dishes and start doing something stupid and senseless right now!" Eric ordered.

"Forman, I'm a guest here," Hyde said lowly.

"Wel-sh-bu-then fine!" Eric stuttered, "I guess... I will have to do something stupid!"

Kelso stumbled as he excitedly hopped off the stool, his eyes wide, "I know somethin' stupid we can do!"

"Excuse me, Jackie," Donna said after Jackie agreed that she should tell her parents that her love could only be bought, "When exactly did you sell your soul?"

Jackie looked at her for a moment, her eyes thoughtful, "Cheer camp."

"That makes sense," Donna nodded, "Cheerleaders become exponentially more vapid when in groups."

Jackie nodded, "That's true."

Donna chuckled, shaking her head a little. Hyde was right; Jackie only talked about money when she told her about her problem, but the tiny girl did cheer her up a little.

"But, anyway, they're arguing," Donna grumbled, "And arguing, and arguing-"

"Okay, Donna," Jackie interrupted, "No offense, but all this talk about your parents is boring me."

"Well, talking about your hair was fascinating," Donna said with mock enthusiasm.

"Hold it by the thumb hole!"

Donna looked up at the sound of Fez's voice.

"What are those idiots doing?" Jackie asked.

"Something idiotic," Donna smiled, "Let's go find out."

"Forman, I don't think you should do this," Hyde mumbled as Eric hopped onto the low stone wall behind the couch.

"Don't be such a baby," Kelso grumbled as Donna and Jackie entered the room, "We just wanna see how high it'll bounce." He handed Eric the bowling ball, trying to reassure Hyde, "Nothing bad can happen."

"Okay, Forman, man, think," Hyde tried to reason with him, "You're listening to Kelso. Don't do it."

"Wait, wait," Eric glared at him, "Now you're telling me what to do?"

"Enough talk!" Fez ordered anxiously, "Just do it!"

Hyde pursed his lips when Eric dropped the ball; it bounced off the couch cushions, and right into the TV. The sound of glass shattering and electricity failing resounded through the room, and everyone stared at it in shock, minus Hyde, who simply crossed his arms and gave Eric a look that read, 'I told you so'.

"Oh..." Kelso muttered nervously, "See... I never even thought of that. Later." He quickly scrambled through the front door, breaking everyone out of their daze.

"Thank you," Fez muttered quickly, following Kelso, and Donna and Jackie made sounds of agreement as they quickly ran through the kitchen door.

"Well..." Hyde muttered sarcastically, an irked smile on his face, "Maybe they won't notice."

Eric covered his eyes with his hand in resignation as Hyde began ascending the stairs. Hearing the stomps of his feet running up the stairs snapped him out of it, and he quickly followed Hyde.

"Hyde, wait!"

"Get bent!"

"Hyde," Eric sighed out as he walked into his room, seeing Hyde laid out on his father's old war cot next to his bed, "Look, man, I'm sorry. But I feel like you're tryin' to be the favorite, or something, it's kind of-"

"Forman," Hyde sat up, "I'm just grateful, alright? If they didn't take me in, I'd either be on the streets or in child services a thousand miles away." He shuttered at the thought of being in the governments hands.

"Okay," Eric muttered, his brows furrowed at the thought of Hyde being so far away, "Well, then... yeah, okay."

Hyde snorted at that, knowing that Forman was stuttering because he probably felt like a total dumbass... again.

"You good, man?" He asked slowly, shooting Eric a pointed look.

"Yeah..." Eric mumbled, "Sorry."

"Whatever, man," Hyde smirked at his now de-facto brother.

"What the hell happened to my TV!?"

"Well, it..." Eric stuttered, staring at his father with fearful eyes, "It, it took a... really weird hop..."

Red stared at him, "Why would you drop a bowling ball on the couch? What good could come of it?"

Eric paused for a moment before stumbling over his words, "Well, okay, hindsight being that-"

"I don't wanna hear anymore of your dumbass excuses! This is the most irresponsible, idiotic thing you have ever done!"

Hyde paused for a moment, thinking; he hated the yelling, and he could stop it, "Actually, Red, I did it."

"You?" Red said quietly in disbelief, taking a step closer to Hyde, who instinctively tensed; Red, taking notice, stepped back a little, and Eric took notice as well.

"No, no, no," He said quickly, "Dad, Hyde's just covering for me. I did it."

"Hey, Forman, stop. Red, it was me, and-"

"No, it was me!"

"Well, guess what!" Red interrupted, "I don't care! You're both idiots! And if you have to get a job digging ditches, you are gonna buy me a new TV! Now get out of my sight."

"Yessir!" Eric stuttered quickly, speedily taking off toward the stairs.

"Alright," Hyde mumbled, his eyes lowered so he didn't catch Red's stern glare. When he finally glanced up, he froze for a minute at the glint in the man's eyes before stuttering, "Sir." He quickly ran toward the stairs, following Eric, furrowing his brows in confusion at Red's last shout.

"I could've had a Corvette!"

"I wanna big TV," Red grinned, "A big one."

Hyde grinned a little, knowing that Red was only teasing them as they flipped through the newspaper, looking for a model to buy for Red.

"What about that one?" Eric asked, pointing at the papers.

"That's last year's model. My TV's gonna be new."

"What about that one?" Hyde asked.

"No remote. My TV's gotta have a remote," Red pointed at the papers, "Look at that; twenty-six inches. Didn't even know they made them that big."

"Dad, your old TV wasn't that big."

"No. But my new one will be," Red chuckled, patting Hyde's back as he stood, and Hyde laughed quietly, shaking his head.

Guess Red did have a sense of humor after all.

Yay, we're finally on season 2! :)

Also, the ending seems a little odd to me, but I just wanted to end this chapter a bit more lightheartedly compared to my last one, so... yeah :)
