------------------

Hyde & Jackie are in her room making out. She hears a noise and then stops.
"Do you hear something?"

"Nope."

"Mm kay." she kisses him.

Hyde stops for a second. "Hey Jackie, are you sure that your parents aren't going to walk in here any minute now and catch us?" He asks.

"No, I think it's fine, they're at the country club so they'll probably be gone all day."

"Too bad. That would've been pretty badass." He says, and immediately begins kissing her again.

She wraps her arms around his neck, and kinda of pulls his head in closer. He runs his hands down her sides & on her hips. They start kissing more vigorously, and slowly start leaning down. She's laid back and Hyde's on top of her kissing her all over her face & neck. He slowly begins sliding his hand up towards her blouse and starts unbuttoning it, while still kissing her.

Jackie realizes what he's doing & gently stops. "Hyde…" she practically whispers. "Hyde, no wait." She lightly pushes him of her, and sits up. "What are you doing?" she says, looking down & buttons her shirt back up.

"Uh…nothin'?" Hyde mumbles, feeling slightly embarrassed.

"Nothing?"

"Look, I'm sorry if I…"

She interrupts him, "No, no… you don't have to be sorry. It's okay. I mean, I guess I was kind of leading you on. We were just so caught up in the heat of things."

"Still. I'm sorry." he says. "I guess I should have asked first…um, to see if you wanted to…"

"Hyde it's not that don't want to… or I dunno maybe it is. I just, I don't think I'm ready to go there with you. Not yet anyway…"

He pauses for a second, "Yeah, yeah… understand." he scratches the back of his head. "Ugh."

"What?"

"Its just could totally go out somewhere & get laid with probably any girl I find, but instead I'm here, not getting laid & apologizing to you."

Jackie looks slightly hurt, but stays quiet.
Hyde sees the reaction on her face & quickly clears up what he meant, "I'm kidding."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, I was totally kidding, you know to lighten the atmosphere." He shrugs.

She looks at him funny, "Yeah that really did the job." she says, sarcastically. "Besides, your not even very good looking."

"What?"

"I don't know what makes you think, you can nail any girl. I mean, please… you've never even had a real girlfriend."

Hyde doesn't say anything and Jackie smiles at him. "I'm kidding."

He pauses, "You were kidding."

"Yeah, you know to lighten the atmosphere, like you did."

"Hehe, yeah that's a good one." he says, apathetically.

Jackie gets up, and over to her dresser. "So are we okay?" she says.

"We're okay."

She smiles at him. He gets up, "Maybe I should go now."

Jackie nods, "Okay, if you want."

He goes over to kiss her again, but this time more like a peck, then leaves. Jackie plops down on her bed & looks up at her ceiling. She all of a sudden sits back up, & reaches towards her telephone.
She dials a number and waits, "Hey Donna? Oh my God, guess what?"

------------------

The next day.
Kelso, Donna & Eric are hanging in his basement. Eric & Donna are talking softly about… stuff, and Kelso watching the tube, not paying attention.

"Ha, that's hilarious. I've got to rub his face in it!" Eric says.

"No come on, Eric. Don't." she says.

Just then Fez walks in , looking at mad & pouty. He sighs very loudly, obviously for attention.
The others don't seem to mind him, so he sighs again even louder. They still don't say anything.

So he sighs again, but this time when he exhales he starts choking on his on saliva. He begins couching noisily for awhile, & his face turns all red while they just stare at him, trying to keep from laughing.

Finally Fez clears his throat, "What da hell does it take to get some reaction from you people!?"

Kelso laughing pretty hard, "Haha… Fez you're so stupid! You almost choked on your own saliva! That's silly, only an idiot would do that!" He keeps laughing & almost chokes himself. He stops laughing & stays quiet.

Donna just kinda giggles, and Eric asks, "Okay Fez, what's wrong?"

"Well today was the first home ec class. But when I walked in, instead of finding the voluptuous Ms. Valentino, I saw a bald guy. A fat, bald guy!"

"And no Ms. Valentino?" Eric says.
"And no hair!" Kelso exclaims.

"So what happened to Ms. Valentino?" asks Donna.

"She's transferred to a school closer to where she lives. So now I'm stuck in a sissy class for a whole semester with a bald, fat teacher!" Fez answers.

"Fez, aren't you being kind of harsh." Donna says.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. I shouldn't have called the class sissy..."

"No, I meant to the teach--"

"…Next week we are learning how to make brownies!" he says, enthusiastically.

"Right…" she says, "Nevermind." She shrugs & turns to Kelso, "So Kelso what you doing today?"

"I'm probably gonna go play the new video game opened at the mall. It's so cool lookin'! It's like a racing game with cars, and instead of a regular joystick it's got a little steering wheel you turn! How cool is that!"

"Ooh, and doesn't it have little pedals on the bottom?" says Fez.

"Yeah!"

"Anyway what's up with what you said to Jackie the other day about you wanting to get her back?" Donna asks.

"Yeah… ooh yeah!" Kelso laughs, "I had totally forgotten about that. Yeah… I should come up with a plan."

"Aww man, I shouldn't have said anything." she says.

"No thank you, I really need to think of something good." He thinks intensely for a second, then gets up.
"Ah well, I better go to the mall before there becomes a line for the game."

"Ooh, I will go with you!" Fez says. He gets up and the both leave.
Around that time Hyde comes down from upstairs & sits down. "Hey Hyde." says Donna.

"Oh, oh… hey Hyde." Eric says.

"Uh hey?"

"What's up Hyde." Eric keeps talking, sounding funny. "Nothin." he answers.
"So…um uh, Hyde… how's your little twisted relationship with Jackie going?"

"It's okay."

"Okay, huh?" Eric turns to Donna, "Did you hear that, it's okay."

"Eric don't say anything…" she mumbles.

"I mean if it's okay, then it's okay. Right?" Eric looks at Hyde, who's just looking at him funny. "Okay…"

"Foreman, what's up with you?"

"Nothin, nothin'. I'm totally okay."

Donna looks at her watch. "Oh crap, I have to go now. My dad wants me to show him how to vegetarian lasagna. He's learning that meat is actually animals." She get up & kisses Eric, "I'll see ya."

As she leaves, Eric turns back over to Hyde. "So for real now Hyde, seriously we're alone now. Everything's not okay is it? Is there maybe trouble a' brewin in paradise? Or in you & Jackie's case, a freak show?"

Hyde rolls his eyes, "Dude, why are you keeping at this? I said it was okay."

"Cuz there's a little snip in your voice. C'mon Hyde, it's okay I'm your best friend you can tell me anything."

"There's nothing to tell, Eric. Everything's fine."

"Oh really? Everything's fine? Even in say…I dunno, the bedroom?"

"What?" Hyde eyes him, suspiciously. "Why would you think that?"

"Donna told me."

"Donna told you?" he says, pretty taken aback.

"Yeah, Jackie may have mentioned a few things to her about it."

"What did she tell you?"

"Well…Donna told me that Jackie told her, that yesterday you, for some reason I dunno, you got the impression she wanted to sleep with you, which she says she obviously did not. And also that you were all up on her & when she pushed you off you said that you could nail anyone and didn't need her."

"So that's Jackie's twisted little version of what really happened? First she was all up on me. She was totally begging for it, she even had her tongue in my ear for crying out loud. I like just barely unbutton one button, & she gets all freaked out, & all "What are you doing! I'm not ready and shit." You'd think she was a virgin or something." Hyde explains his version.

"No, I think her & Kelso made it quite clear that she's not."

"Well, I don't know what her problem is."

"She also told Donna, you kinda creeped her out."

"What the hell--I creeped her out?"

"Yeah."

"How?"

"I dunno, Donna didn't say…"

Hyde just shakes his head.
"You know what you should do is have a little talk with your new hunnie." Eric says. "Clear things out & make it work with you & your new sweetie."

"Lay off, Foreman."

"I mean you & Jackie need to make your love work." He keeps saying, tauntingly.

"Shut up…"

"Cuz' what ya'll guys have could really blossom into something really special & meaningful…"

"Shut the hell up!"
