------------------
Eric and Fez are hanging in the basement, when Kelso walks in.
"Have any of you seen Hyde?" he says.
"Nope. Why are you looking for him?" asks Fez.
"Because I caught him making out with Jackie, so now I have to kick his ass."
"Right." says Eric. "Good luck."
"I'm gonna keep looking for him, but if any of ya'll see him first, tell him to watch out cuz' I'm gonna kick his hairy ass!" Kelso begins to walk out, when Hyde comes in. "Hey."
"Hyde!" Kelso shouts to him.
"Kelso." Hyde calmly replies back.
"You better run."
"Yeah, and why is that?"
"Cuz' I'm gonna kick your ass." Kelso says, trying very had to sound threatening.
"Right , okay." Hyde sits down.
"Seriously dude, you stole my girl so I'm gonna kick your ass!"
"Okay." He picks up a magazine.
Kelso starts getting irritated at his nonchalant behavior.
"Hyde, get up! I'm gonna kick your ass!
"Kelso, I heard you the first time."
"I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!" Kelso slaps the magazine out of Hyde's hands.
Hyde gets serious, as he stands up and looks straight at him. "Try."
Eric turns to Fez, "Man! You think they'll really go at it?"
"Maybe. My money's on da prettyboy." Fez says.
"Okay I'll put ten down for Hyde."
Kelso eyeballs him up & down, and punches his shoulder, pushing Hyde back a couple steps. Hyde does that turn back thing, then quickly forward and hits Kelso right in the face.
"Oh that's it!" Kelso jumps right on him, knocking them both down, & they begin wrestling on the floor.
"Go! Go! Go!" Eric & Hyde are cheering them on. Donna & Jackie walk in and see them at it.
"Oh my God-- Michael, get off him!" Jackie pulls Kelso away.
"What the hell's going on here!" Donna says, as she helps Hyde up.
"He started it!" Kelso points to Hyde.
"What the hell? You hit me, first!"
"Well, you kissed Jackie!" He yells, while she continues to hold him back.
"And why were you two just standing there watching?" Donna turns towards Eric & Fez.
"Hehe, well uh…" Eric says, nervously.
"You just let them fight, and didn't stop them." says Donna.
"Well, we had bet to see who would win." Fez says.
"You what!"
"No, no of course not… silly Fez. Well yeah okay. But I mean it's not like we were cheering them on or anything--Ahem." Eric coughs, and walks away.
"Michael, what were you thinking!" Jackie says to Kelso.
"Well, what were you thinking, Jackie. Making out with Hyde."
"Dude, why is that so repulsive to you?" Hyde says.
"Because Jackie, my Jackie, is cute and pretty and delicate. And you're… shaggy and grungy and Hyde."
Hyde gives him a spiteful look. "Besides…" Kelso says, "… you're supposed to be my friend and you went & stabbed me in the back."
"I did not stab you in the back, okay! She's not even your girlfriend anymore, you left her. You packed your bags and went to California, and left her."
Kelso looks down, then at Jackie. He doesn't know what to say. He looks over at Eric, who kinda gives him a 'you're-on-your-own' & shrugs. "Well, you…"
"Michael…" she stops him. "He's right, it's over. It's been over, and you're blowing this way out of proportion."
He just stands there, and there's this awkward silence in the room.
Fez whispers kinda loudly to Eric, "So who would you say won?"
The rest look over at him. "Hehe, nevermind…" he says.
"Listen, you two should talk this over." Donna says to Kelso & Jackie.
"Yeah okay." Jackie nods, as she pulls Kelso outside with her. "Let's go to my house."
Hyde watches them leave, and Donna goes up to Eric & pulls his ear. "Ow! What the--". She gives him a look. "Okay, I'm sorry, I should have done the 'good friend' thing and stopped it." He says.
"Yeah…"
"So…" he looks at her innocently, " Wanna go up to my room?"
She sighs, but quickly says, "Okay." and they run upstairs, but she stops quickly, "Hyde, are you gonna be okay?" she asks.
"I'm fine." he says, as he rubs his busted lower lip. She nods & follows Eric upstairs.
Hyde sits down, and Fez joins him. "Well, uh… dat was pretty heavy, huh?" he says.
"Um hmm." Hyde mumbles.
"So, what do you think-- Kelso won, right?"
Hyde gives a look, "You're kidding, right?"
"Eric owes me money, damnit!" Fez says, & Hyde rolls his eyes.
------------------
"Michael, say something." Jackie says, as she holds an icepack to his swollen cheek. "I don't know why this bothers you, we're not togeth--
He interrupts her, "I know. I know, we're not together anymore, but that doesn't mean that I'm okay with it. I mean, I still love you, Jackie. And I guess, I expected us to eventually get back together."
"You shouldn't ever expect things. Trust me I know."
"But that what we always do."
"Yeah…" she looks down, "But things are different now."
"Hyde?" Kelso says, and she nods. "What so great about him, anyway?"
Jackie shrugs, "Just stuff."
"Like what stuff?"
"Like… he was there for me this summer, when you weren't. And I dunno… I just like being with him."
"Does he buy you flowers?"
"No…"
"Cuz' I could buy you flowers."
"No, but he listens and he makes me feel good. And… he's a good kisser."
"Not better than me, right?"
She just looks at him.
"Well, are ya'll like in love or something?
She pauses, "No."
"Wait he doesn't even love you, then why are you with him?"
"He still cares about me."
"Well I love you. So how bout this? You end this mess with Hyde & we get back together."
"No, I'm not gonna do that."
"But--"
"But nothing. Think about it, would you have wanted to get back together if you hadn't found out about me & Hyde?"
"Well…uh."
"Exactly. The only reason you want me back is that you don't want me with Hyde." she breaks for a moment, "You & I both now it's over between us. You may still love me & that's okay cuz' I still love you too, but differently. Michael, you'll always be my first love… we'll always have that." Jackie kisses his swollen cheek, "But we have to move on now. Okay?"
Kelso pauses and then finally nods, "Okay Jackie, well I guess your ri…WRONG!" he swiftly gets up. "This isn't over. I'm not gonna give up. I'm going to get you back if it's the last thing I do!" He runs out.
Jackie sighs heavily, as she leans back on her bed.
Kelso comes back in, "Forgot my icepack." He grabs it, and runs out again.
