She sat alone in her room, wondering how life would be. On one hand she could be Mrs. Michael Kelso, mother of three, wife of the Point Place Police Chief. Her three children, twin boys Ocean and River and her daughter Meadow. They lived in two-story brick home with a large oak tree in the back yard home to a fancy yellow girly tree house. Her thought shifted to what life would be with Steven. She yearned to be Mrs. Steven Hyde, wife of the Point Place Hotel Chef, People lined up for miles just to have him cook for them. Her twins precious twins, Jimmy and Paige. (Named for her husband's favorite member of Led Zeppelin). They would also live in a two-story brick house with a large oak tree in the back yard. Except it would have a boyish tree fort for their son Jimmy and a doll house version of their home seated underneath the large oak tree for their daughter Paige.

It was right then, that she knew what she had to do. She got up, walked out of Donna's bedroom stopping at the faux silver mirror in the hall to check her hair. Rushing back to the bedroom to apply cherry lip-gloss. Off she went again stopping at the mirror for one for check for perfection.

Walking across the Forman driveway straight to the basement. There sat Fez, Eric and Donna, they were playing Fez's favorite game Candy Land, yet he was ever so flustered, when do you get the candy.. He huffed. "Hi guys, have you seen Kelso?" Jackie asked as she entered the basement. (Not knowing to Jackie Hyde too was entering the room from his bedroom hidden in the corner of the basement; with hearing Jackie asking for Kelso stopped him dead in his tracks. He paused to listen and not be seen). "Hi Jackie, answered Donna, "I think Kelso is at the Hub with Annette." "Oh, Ok, Thanks Donna, oh and Donna, could you please see that the mirror in the hallway gets a good cleaning? Its dull and dusty, which takes the shine out of my reflection." "Ye.. Yeah Jackie. I'll see that its done tonight." Donna answered sarcastically. As Jackie left the basement Donna stewed with anger, "Can you believe her, clean the damn mirror yourself you bossy homeless midget!"

Hyde still shaken that Jackie was asking for Kelso, only made him realize that she must had made her choice, she had chosen Kelso. Why else would she be looking for him? His heart sank in to the pit of his stomach. But being the person he was, he walked out of his room sunglasses in hand, headed to the freezer grabbed the last cherry Popsicle and sat in his chair. "Hey Hyde. Didn't know you were here." Stammered Eric hoping Hyde didn't hear Jackie. Hyde did not answer, letting Eric know he had heard everything. A long pause plagued the basement. "Eric, why don't we all go to ahh. just go." Donna said slowly breaking the silence. "Ok, com'on Fez, let's give Hyde his space" prompted Eric. "But I want my Candy, Where is the sweet candy morsels? Damn you Candy land!" Fez ranted as he got up and headed upstairs following Donna and Eric. The basement was not silent as Hyde sat alone, in his chair reliving the moments in his head.

** Hub**

Annette and Kelso sat at "Their Table" or the table that Kelso takes every girl too. They sat there discussing how Annette had the most beautiful sun kissed blonde hair in the state of Wisconsin. Jackie walked up to the door and paused looking at the couple, she knew by how they were sitting that they were playing the " Am I Prettier Than. Game" She smugly laughed thinking about how many times her and Kelso played that game, the very game that won him his van, the van that drove him to California, California the place where he met Annette. Jackie straightened her skirt, pushed her hair out of her eyes and ever so faintly said, "Here goes nothing"..

Jackie entered the Hub, Kelso immediately saw her, "Hey Jackie, haven't seen you in awhile. "Ah. Can't you read, No dogs allowed!" snapped Annette "Hi Michael, can we talk?" asked Jackie "Alone." she added looking directly at Annette. "Sure, Annette I'll see you tonight." Before Annette could speak Kelso and Jackie were already leaving the Hub. Kelso thought to himself, "This is it, she's picked me, why else would she want to speak to me alone." They walked to his van, Kelso motioned to Jackie to get in, but she couldn't she just sat on the back bumper. "Michael, this is serious, I would much rather sit her than in there." "Damn Jackie, I just thought we could get a little more comfortable in the love bus." "See that's what I mean Michael, you are always thinking with the little man in your pants." She paused, "I wanted to talk to you about us.." "Us. your admitting there is an." Kelso grinned with joy. "Yes Michael, you and me here make us, do I need to speak slower? Has kissing Annette poisoned your mind?" Jackie is not frustrated with her situation. How can she continue with the conversation, Michael is obliviously clueless to what she is getting at. "Michael, I don't know how else to put this, but I have made my decision. I cho-" " Me, I knew it, you choose me. I love you Jackie Burkhart" Kelso leans into kiss Jackie. (Still unknowingly to Jackie, Hyde drove by in his car, seeing Kelso and Jackie about to kiss. He throws the car in reverse and speeds away.) "Ewh. Oh my god Michael No?" Jackie jumps up off the bumper of his van "You have it all wrong, I choose Steven." " Damn Jackie. Why are you doing this, why did you walk in and ask to talk alone?" Kelso pouts. "Because of our given history, I owe you an explanation face to face. I wanted you to hear this from me and only me. Michael, we are over. over for good." Jackie turns to walk away. "Oh and Michael, Steven doesn't know yet, so please keep this to yourself."

Jackie walks off . to the Forman's basement she goes to find Hyde. When she gets there she eagerly rushes in to Hyde's room to find a note on his cot.
