CHAPTER TWO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*Later that afternoon at Jackie's House*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ok Jackie. I'm here. What's the emergency?" Donna asked as she walked into Jackie's bedroom.
"Donna, Steven just broke up with me!"
"What?!?" Donna said, shocked. "Why? What happened?"
"Nothing! I don't know. We were just sitting down in the basement and he said he needed to talk to me. That's it."
Donna couldn't believe he would do that. Ok, he had sort of done it once before, but that was different. They had been getting along so well lately...She had actually started to think that he had changed.
"Then what happened Jackie?"
"He just walked out and left me sitting there. No explanation...Donna, what am I going to do?"
"Jackie, you have to talk to him and find out what's going on."
"I tried Donna! After he left the basement I went to find him, but I couldn't. I looked everywhere."
"Well, you have to keep trying. Have you tried calling him?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*Meanwhile, back in the basement*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, Hyde...I heard you broke up with Jackie," Kelso said, grinning.
"Yea man, me and Jackie are history."
"You dog! I know why you did it!" Kelso yelled.
"What?" Hyde asked, shooting a confused look at Kelso.
" Spring Break!"
"Kelso, what the hell are you talking about?" Hyde snapped.
"Spring break man! It's next week. With no girlfriend you are free to hook up with as many chicks as you want! I'm breaking up with Pam too. This is going to be great."
"Kelso," Eric said, "Pam Macy is not even your girlfriend. I saw her making out with Jimmy headgear at the Hub yesterday."
"What! No way, she wouldn't do that. Anyway, why do I care? I am breaking up with her. Spring break here I come!"
"Oh! This is going to be fun," Fez said as he clapped his hands. "I am going to break up with Nina too. What could be better than spending a week with a bunch of hot spring break ladies?"
"This is going to be great!" Kelso yelled. "Just us guys. You know what we should do? Road trip! We could drive down to Florida. It's the spring break capital of the world!"
"Kelso, I never thought I would say this," Hyde said, "but you are a genius!"
"Yes, this is truly going to be the best spring break ever," Fez exclaimed. Just us guys driving around Florida causing trouble and meeting chicks!"
"Um..." Eric mumbled under his breath.
Instantly, they all turned and stared at him.
"Foreman! You are NOT going to muff out on us!" Hyde yelled. "Jackie and I just broke up and what I really need is a road trip to take my mind off it."
"But, Donna and I are engaged now. I just can't run off on some chick trolling trip."
Suddenly, he was hit in the head by three different pillows. "You suck Foreman!" they all yelled.
"Well, I guess I could ask Donna if I can go..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*The next morning*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eric was standing out in his driveway washing his dad's car when Donna walked up.
"Hey there cutie! Washing the car?"
"Yea, Red is still mad at me about failing that math quiz last week."
"Too bad. Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Sure," Eric said, handing her sponge.
She frowned. That wasn't what she had in mind.
"Donna, I'm glad you're here. I wanted to talk to you about something."
"What's up?"
"Well, the guys all want to go on spring break next week."
"Cool! Sounds like fun."
"Really?"
"Yea! It's our senior year Eric. Spring break is practically required."
"Oh my god! You are, like, the coolest fiancée ever!"
Just then Fez, Kelso and Hyde walked up the driveway.
"Hey guys! Guess what? I can go!" Eric yelled.
"Huh?" Kelso asked.
"Spring break? Donna said I can go!" Eric exclaimed.
"All right Foreman, man," Hyde said slapping Eric on the back.
"Don't worry Donna!" Fez said, "We won't let Eric talk to any sexy ladies."
"Yea Donna. Don't worry about Foreman. We'll take care of him," Hyde said.
"Wait, what?" Donna said, but no one heard her. They were all already heading down the basement steps.
"Dude, we can take my van. This is going to be great! Three single guys, and Foreman, cruising around Florida picking up chicks!" Kelso said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~*Later that afternoon at Jackie's house*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I can't believe that dill hole is going on spring break without me! I mean this is our senior year. Our last spring break. We should be spending it together." Donna ranted as she paced around Jackie's room.
Jackie just laid in her bed. She had barely left her bed since the breakup.
"At least he didn't break up with you Donna! Steven won't even take my calls."
Donna looked over at her friend, lying in her bed with unwashed hair. This wasn't like Jackie.
"I'm sorry Jackie. I guess what you're going through is a little worse, huh?" She paused, trying to be sympathetic, but she was just too mad.
"Do you know what Fez had the nerve to say to me? He told me 'not to worry' about Eric cheating on me because when he and Kelso both decided to break up with their girlfriends, so they could go on spring break single, Eric said he wouldn't break up with me. As if that is supposed to make me feel better!"
Jackie gasped. "Donna! You don't think that's why Steven broke up with me, do you? So he could hook up with some skank on spring break?"
Donna wasn't sure what to say. Now that she thought about it, it looked like that was exactly what was going on. Still, Hyde had stayed with Jackie for almost eight months, something she never expected to happen.
"I don't know Jackie," Donna said.
Jackie jumped out of bed. "Well, I am not going to let him get away with this!"
"What are you going to do?" Donna asked.
"Well, you said they were going to Florida right? Well, I'm just going to go to Florida too! I want to see what he is up to for myself."
"Jackie, we weren't invited remember? That's part of the problem."
"We don't need to be invited. We'll go on our own. I can use the money my aunt gave me for my birthday to buy us plane tickets."
"Us?"
"Well, don't you want to know how Eric is going to spend his spring break?"
Donna looked as Jackie, who was smiling deviously. 'I'm in!'
