Disclaimer: You know the drill. I don't own any of the characters blah blah
blah. Oh yea cept for Mackenzie of course.
*** With regards to the anonymous reviewer who believes Mackenzie is "more beautiful, smart and cool than anyone in the gang" (By the way, you might want to check on your spelling and grammar when you're attempting to criticize someone's writing. It's not really a good thing if you catch my drift).I honestly haven't the slightest idea as to where you would get this idea. I understand you may interpret my lengthy explanations of Mackenzie's actions and appearance as suggesting that she is more important than the rest of the cast, however I assure you this was not my intent. I simply divulge in Mackenzie because everyone has seen the show and knows what the characters look like. I find it pointless and redundant to go further into the subject when they are not main characters in the story. If you'll note I do go into detail about Hyde, who is a main character. As for the intelligence issue, I do not mention anything regarding Mackenzie's intelligence nor do I refer to the intelligence of any of the others. I realize you could be referring to Mackenzie reading Shakespeare, but may I point out that plenty of people read Shakespeare. Except, of course, if you are alluding to the mention of Kelso and Fez's stupidity amusing Mackenzie. In which case, I fully admit to implying Mackenzie is more intelligent than them, as their characters are meant to be looked upon as imbeciles, especially in Kelso's case. In fact I would go so far as to say my seven- year-old cousin is brighter than Kelso.
Nonetheless I do appreciate your constructive criticism and will consider it entirely while finishing the story. If you have any other concerns regarding my writing please contact me. Thank you. ***
The rest of you have to REVIEW!
Oh yea, for all intensive purposes we're just going to pretend that the seniors in Dazed and Confused are the same graduating class as everyone in That 70's show. Also there's a reference to Mallrats in here if you can catch it. I realize Jason and Jeremy are not the same person and actually Jeremy isn't even the one that says the quote from Mallrats I have here, but they are both just so damn cute. But, I digress..

Chapter 13 ~ BZZZZ
Hyde awkwardly unlocked the door to the motel room he and Mackenzie had rented for the night. Rather the motel room Mackenzie's father had paid for and Hyde had signed for. It was illuminated by the pink neon light that shone outside their window, buzzing intermittently. Hyde had driven most of the night, while Mackenzie did her best to stay awake. Occasionally Hyde would actually let Mackenzie drive while he slept for a couple hours at a time. Finally though, Hyde had had enough and they pulled over to a little motel that was off one of the exits behind a truck stop.
Mackenzie dropped her bag onto the floor next to her feet, and jumped on the bed. It lurched as she landed on it, and made a loud squeaking noise. Mackenzie's eyes grew big and she looked at Hyde before she broke into hysterics. Hyde rolled his eyes muttering about her being insane, before he walked into the bathroom.
After relieving himself of the urge to pee he had had since the last truck stop, he emerged from the moldy bathroom and laid on the bed next to Mackenzie. She had already changed into a pair of boxers and her Texas U. sweatshirt, and was smiling at him when he came out.
"What?" he questioned raising an eyebrow at her. As he lay on the bed, he tucked his arm behind his head, and stared back up at the ceiling.
Mackenzie ignored his obvious attitude and placed her chin on his chest, raising a hand to twirl his hair. Absentmindedly she entangled her fingers in his mass of curls and sighed, "We are going to have so much fun, I can't wait for you to meet everyone. You're going to love them."
Hyde looked down at her and placed a hand on her back. "Yea, sure." Hyde was tired, and although was very aware he had voluntarily come along with Mackenzie, he was still very much pissed at how he had gotten involved in the whole situation. Especially during his last summer of Point Place, which he couldn't really figure out either seeing as how he thought he couldn't get away fast enough from the boring town.
It was nearing three in the morning and Hyde was beginning to feel the effects of driving nearly six hours straight. He yawned and his eyes began to droop, but he could tell Mackenzie was in no mood to sleep. He decided he would allow her to talk herself to sleep, a tactic he often used when she exhausted him to the point of slumber. "Why don't you tell me about all your friends back home? So, you know, I won't look like a total jackass when we get there."
Mackenzie took the bait, though she had told him countless times about pretty much everyone she had ever met in her entire life. "Well, there's Randall 'Pink' Floyd," Mackenzie smiled at his name. "He's got to be one of the coolest people I've ever met. And nice to everyone. I guess he's sort of like Donna except he's not a girl." Mackenzie giggled to herself at the thought of Pink in a dress. He would've made a sexy chick.
She dismissed the thought quickly and went on, "Then there's his girlfriend Simmone Kerr, ugh. Sometimes I feel bad for though. Last thing I heard from home, Don- he' real cool too, actually reminds me a little of you, except, you know, with school spirit- Anyway he said Pink's been after Jody. Jody's much nicer though. She and Pink would be the perfect couple." Mackenzie paused and yawned.
Hyde was beginning to get a headache from the tight knot Mackenzie had twisted his hair into. He gently took her hand away from his head and turned on his side so he was facing her. He wrapped his arm around the small of her back and nuzzled his head into the pillow. He closed his eyes and mumbled, "Mmmm, and what else is going on?"
Mackenzie turned her back to Hyde and pulled his arm tighter around her, allowing her body to mold into Hyde's shape. She yawned again, "Well I think we already missed the big end of the year party. And Pink, Simmone, Slater- you know I told you about him, he's like Leo at 17- and Wooderson all went to the Areosmith concert the other day." Mackenzie yawned again and her eyes, too, began to feel heavy. She began to mumble a little about something Hyde couldn't understand before she slowly fell silent.
Hyde smiled as he could feel her breathing get deeper and deeper, before he nodded off to sleep as well.
