Hyde sat in the Foreman kitchen listening to Kitty and Red tell him off. He was being told off and he was happy about it, it showed they cared.
"You can't go starting fights Steven, if you have another fight the principle says you will be permanently expelled" Kitty moaned at him.
"You can't afford to be chucked out of school" Red added for her. "You need an education, so you can get a job and leave my house"
"Red" Kitty said "now we are going to punish you like we would Eric". Eric start a fight that was a laugh.
"Mom, wait" Stacey said walking in to the kitchen from the living room. "He shouldn't be punished"
"And why is that?" Red asked
"He was protecting me" Stacey began telling them the truth; she'd asked Hyde not to tell them the real reason why he hit that smug bastard, so he didn't. "me and Justin had a fight, he'd been cheating on me, we got in to another argument at school, he raised his hand to hit me and Hyde caught his hand before it could hit me, Justin threw the first punch".
"He still needs to be punished," Kitty told her "he should have walked away and not retaliated"
"Then punish me as well, I should have stopped them from fighting and not stood and watched." Stacey protested
They both were grounded for a week and got cleaning duties. They had to wash up and put away after every meal, clean out the garage, wash the car, and sweep the driveway.
On the last day of their sentence (being grounded) they swept the driveway together. Kitty and Red were out and everyone was in the basement.
Hyde was bored of sweeping, he picked up some leafs and threw them at her. She stood staring at him for a minute with a really cute smile on her face. Then she slowly bent down and picked up some leafs and threw them at him. A leaf fight ensued and Hyde ended up chasing her around Eric's car.
"No Hyde, quits!" she called laughing as she ran away from me.
"This is war, no quitting" he told her. He caught up with her and pinned her to the side of Eric's car.
"I surrender" she said holding up her hands and dropping the leafs.
"Good" Hyde said dropping the leafs in his hand. His body was touching hers and he didn't want to move.
"Hyde" she whispered, he leaned in and kissed her gently. Her lips were so smooth, and she was a great kisser. That kiss was mind blowing, for both of them! She pushed him away after a minute or so. "We can't" she said
"Why not?" he asked confused.
"We just can't" she said "I want to but…"
"Save it" he said "I don't wanna hear it" he added walking off. Typical Hyde style. She continued to sweep the drive way.
