// Tell me now baby/Is he good to you/Will he do to you the things/That I'll do, oh no/I can take you higher/Whoa, I'm on fire. \\

Donna and Kelso are back. Red and Kitty were ready to lock Foreman up in his room and not let him out until he's thirty. Donna is going to an all- girls school now. And she's wearing this hot uniform everyday. Jackie would look amazing in that uniform. Who the hell am I kidding? Jackie always looks amazing.

Jackie and I are still fooling around. I thought everything would stop as soon as Kelso came back. She always goes back to him whenever he smiles at her. He was hitting on her the other day and she pretty much ignored him. I punched him. It's not that I was jealous or anything. It was just really obvious that he was making her uncomfortable. And he had his arm around her. I left after that. And Jackie followed me. We went to her house for a couple of hours.

I guess we will end soon though. Donna and Foreman caught us fooling around in the basement and they are both going crazy. It doesn't matter to them that we are just having some fun. Foreman spent the summer moping about Donna and working. Fez kept hanging out by the pool. All Jackie and I had to do was watch "The Price is Right" or make out. We, or at least I, happen to think fooling around was more fun.

Jackie and I have decided we'll just keep everything between us quiet. I might have to actually take her out now since the basement may not be the safest place to do anything. It's not that I mind taking her out. It just kind of makes us a little real. And Jackie and I are not dating. We're just having fun.

That was one of the most mortifying days of my life. I never expected to have to explain why I was kissing Steven. There had always been this bond between Steven and I. Even when we pretended to hate each other, or I pretended to hate him, we didn't really hate each other. And when he kisses me, the rest of the world kind of falls away and all that matters is the way his lips feel on mine. Even with Michael, my mind would occasionally drift to the pretty dress I had just bought or how my hair looked.

It must have been weird for Donna and Eric though. I mean, it was weird for me too. I knew that the idea of Steven and I was beyond strange. I didn't expect them to understand. Especially when I had wanted to marry Michael three months earlier. Michael leaving for California may have been the biggest blessing in disguise I have ever had. Michael and I might be married now. I'm not stupid enough anymore to believe a ring would have kept him from straying or me from wanting more.

I didn't want more from Steven. I didn't mind moving at his pace and not my own. I didn't mind that I didn't dominate Steven. I think I actually kind of liked it. It seems so strange after the way I could lead Michael around wherever I wanted that I liked having my relationship with Steven.

I never knew that Steven thought I was going to go back to Michael back then. I don't blame him I guess. I always run to him when Michael and I break up and then I run back to Michael. But this time was different. I ran to Steven for more than comfort this time. I ran to him because he was Steven and I didn't have to worry about falling in love. But I did fall in love. I wasn't in love when Donna and Eric found us. But somewhere along the way I fell for him. Hard. Harder than I had fallen for anyone. Even Donny Osmond.

And fooling around with Steven is much more fun that watching "The Price is Right."
