Disclaimer: I don't own anything from that 70's Show-not the Foreman's,
Jackie, Hyde, or anything else.. not even the Vista Cruiser...So don't sue
me!
Author's Note: Thanks for all of the great reviews. Many of you seemed confused about the couplings in the fic-and although I don't want to give anything away-and I'm not even sure how it's going to all turn out-Just remember that I am a die hard J/Her like so many of you are. And would I let fellow shippers down? Please keep those reviews coming!
P.S. I didn't know what time school starts for them, or if they referred to the passenger seat as shot gun back then-so I made it all up! It's AU anyway! Also, Donna doesn't go to O.L.O.P.S. High School b/c Eric never went to CAli. So Bob never made her switch.
Someone Else's Love
Chapter 2
Scene 1: Donna's Bedroom. Donna and Jackie are sitting on Donna's bed flipping through magazines.
Jackie (makes a face): Don't you have anything better to read than Truckers Weekly?
Donna (grabs the magazine out of Jackie's hand and looks at the cover): This is TIME!!!
Jackie: Yeah, well-that man sure is ugly (points to a picture on one of the pages)
Donna: That's Margaret Thatcher!
Jackie: Who?
Donna: The new Prime Minister of England. (Pauses) She's a woman!
Jackie: Eww! (Pause) She looked better as a man.
Donna grabs all of the magazines and dumps them in a drawer.
Donna: Let's do something else.
Jackie: Yeah. Let's talk about you and a certain, sweet neighbor boy.
Donna: Sweet? What happened to scrawny, girl-like or the complete opposite of every hunky guy in the U.S.?
Jackie (shrugs): I don't know..He's not all that bad.I mean, with your manliness it all evens out.
Donna (rolls her eyes): Anyway, I 've been trying all week just to talk to him and he keeps blowing me off.
Jackie: Can you blame him? I haven't spoken more than four words to Michael in the past week.(Pause) Wait. Do four-letter words count?
Donna: Ok. Fine. I did a big bad thing and took off to California. I get it. But don't you think he should stop acting like I killed his dog and get over it already?
Jackie: I think that Eric will get over it when he's ready.
Donna: Why do you keep taking his side?
Jackie: He's my friend and he's right.
Donna: Maybe.
Jackie: What?
Donna: Nothing. It's just strange how two enemies like you and Eric have become so close over the summer is all.
Jackie: Well, broken hearts can do that you know.
Donna: I guess your right. I guess I'm just paranoid. I'm starting to believe that Eric will never forgive me, then he'll move on, meet another girl, get married and have five kids, and own a nice home in Kenosha All while I'm alone.FOREVER!
Jackie: Wow. I've never seen you so overdramatic. (Pause) Don't worry. Eric and you will be ok.
Donna: Now you sound like Hyde.
Jackie: Steven?
Donna (smiles): Yeah, he was just telling me the other day how Eric and I are always ok in the end. I hope he's right.
Jackie (bitter): Steven is usually wrong about everything so I wouldn't count on it.
Donna (surprised): What's your problem?
Jackie: I just think that Steven Francis Hyde is a lying jerk. That's all.
Donna: Ok. You're definitely scaring me here. Why are you getting so upset over Hyde?
Jackie (ignores the question and turns to Donna): Do you ever wish you ended up with Hyde and not Eric?
Donna: What? No way. Hyde and I would kill each to her before we made it through the first month.
Jackie: You think so?
Donna: Yeah, I mean- we're both kind of stubborn, and he's got so many conspiracy theories.and he's not exactly the boyfriend type, and talk about trust issue..
Jackie (interrupting, kind-of angry): Yeah..ok.but he can be nice and he's cute when you force him to brush that hair of his, and his manly. He never cries at the end of Old Yeller like Eric and Michael.
Donna (thanks about it): I guess your right. I just never thought of Hyde like that. (Smiles) Thanks Jackie.
Jackie: What did I do?
Donna: Remind me that there are other guys out there who think I'm cool besides Eric Forman
Jackie: No..but..I didn't mean to.Forget it. Jackie gets up and walks towards the door.
Donna: Where are you going?
Jackie: I just got to go take care of something. I'll see you in school tomorrow, ok?
Donna: Yeah. Sure. And Thanks again.
Jackie (miserably): Yep. I do what I can.
Jackie leaves.
Scene 2 The Basement- Hyde is sitting in his usual chair, watching TV when Jackie enters. She turns off the T.V. and sits down on the couch.
Jackie: We have to talk.
Hyde: Oh, so no we have to talk. I haven't seen you since you stormed out of the basement two days ago.
Jackie: Yeah, sorry about that. I just had to think.
Hyde: Oh, God. I hope this isn't anything about David Cassidy again.
Jackie: No, it's about Donna.
Hyde (groans): Forget what I said. Let's talk Cassidy. He really is a wonderful actor and musician.
Jackie: No. I need to talk to you about Donna. I think you two may have some things to work out.
Hyde: Where is this coming from?
Jackie: I 've just been thinking a lot. I really have enjoyed the summer with you but (Pause)
Hyde: What?
Jackie: I don't know. When you liked Donna-you were so in to her. You were willing to even piss Eric off to be with her. But with me, It's different. You don't want anyone to know we're together, you won't ever tell Michael about us...Hell, you won't even call me your girlfriend!
Hyde: Fine. So I have some issues with our relationship or whatever. What does that have to do with Donna?
Jackie: I don't think you would have these issues if you were with Donna and not me.
Hyde gets up and sits besides Jackie.
Hyde: Don't be stupid Jackie. That was a long time ago. (Pause) Besides, she's just my friend now . I haven't thought of her as anything but Forman's girl in a long time.
Jackie: I don't know.
Hyde (sighs): Look. I'm going to tell Kelso about us, ok? I just haven't figured out when or how or what shiny object I can distract him with while I tell him the news.
Jackie laughs.
Hyde: And..maybe .if you play your cards right- I might consider telling a few people that you were my girlfriend. Anything's possible.
Jackie: That may be the sweetest thing you've ever said to me.
They laugh and kiss. Hyde: So, are we FINALLY ok?
Jackie: I think so.
They continue to make out until they hear footsteps coming down the stairs. They quickly pull apart (Hyde goes to his chair, while Jackie goes to a corner of the couch)
Eric: Hey.
He takes a seat on the couch.
Eric looks at them strangely.
Eric: What were you guys just doing?
Hyde: Watching T.V.
Eric looks at the T.V which is not on.
Eric: I thought the TV. had to be on for someone to be able watch it. (Pause) Silly me.
Jackie: Oh, Steven! Don't be embarrassed. (Turns to Eric) He was just asking me for some hair advice. I suggested cutting it all off, and starting all over again.
Hyde: Jackie.
Eric: Really? (Laughs) Is Hyde trying to impress the ladies this year?
Jackie: Well, go on. Tell him about all the ladies.
Hyde (mumbles): You got me. I was trying to look good...for the ladies..
Eric laughs.
The door opens and Donna walks in.
Donna: Hi (stares at Eric)
Eric: Hey
Donna: Mind if I stay?
Eric: It's a free country.
Donna: Yeah, but it's your basement.
Eric: It's fine. Donna sits on the lawn chair.
There is an uncomfortable silence.
Jackie: So, Eric- what time are you picking me up tomorrow?
Hyde: What?
Eric: I don't know. Eight?
Jackie: Perfect. That will give me enough time to make a beginning-of-the- school-year grand entrance.
Hyde: Jackie. I thought I was going to drive you tomorrow.
Jackie: Oh. Well, Eric asked me yesterday. He said he needed someone to sit shot gun.(Pause)And last year, I never got to sit shot gun. Michael always made me sit in the back of the van. He said it saved time once we parked and.(Pause) you know.
Donna: Wait. But I ALWAYS sit shot gun.
Eric: Funny thing about that is-I no loner drive you to school.
Donna seems shocked. Eric: I have a full car. But Hyde here will take you.
Everyone turns to Hyde.
Hyde: Yeah. Sure. Just be ready by ten.
Donna: But first period is already over by then.
Hyde: (sighs) Fine. Have it your way. (Turns to Jackie) See what you've done! Now I have to be at school on time!
Eric: Why do you care so much if Jackie gets a ride with you? (Confused)
Hyde: I don't care. I just needed her to chip in for gas, but that's ok. It's worth it not to hear her rambling on over the radio.
Jackie seems mad.
Jackie: Well, I'd rather go with Eric then fear for my life in that death trap of a car.
Hyde: Hey lady-you can insult my hair, you can insult my clothes, but never insult the El Camino.
Jackie stands up.
Jackie: Fine! Eric take me home!
Jackie and Eric leave.
Donna stands up after they go
Donna: So I guess I'll see you tomorrow then.
She smiles at him
Hyde: I guess...
Donna: You know, you are a pretty great guy when you want to be
She kisses his cheek and leaves.
Hyde has a funny look on his face and mumbles under his breath. Hyde: This can't be good.
He leaves for his room.

A/N: This chapter kinda sucked. I've been in a writing funk and also I needed to sort of build the whole plot up. This story is really based on the jealousy and insecurity of the four characters over the relationships they want to have. They'll eventually work it all out though. Please review!
