Over the next two weeks, Aimee and the gang had grown closer. Hyde especially, but their "relationship" was far from real. He was really just using Aimee to get over Jackie, which was okay, because Aimee was using him to fill that same hole. Though she thought that she loved Steven, her love, she discovered, wasn't anywhere close she felt with the last one.

It seemed everyone but the two had known it was happening to each other. As a matter of fact, Donna, Eric, Fez, and Kelso were all discussing this in their regular booth at the Hub. Kelso simply shrugged,' Hey, man, I've seen her do this to a lot of her boyfriends before, so it's nothing new. What I'm surprised about is-Ooo! Jelly beans!' He jumped up once he saw someone get a bag, and quickly went over to buy some himself.'

Eric shook his head at the naïve boy, and continued the conversation,' I can't believe Hyde's really falling for this. He's usually smart when it comes to relationships.' He took a sip of his soda.

Donna shrugged,' Well, he hasn't been in too many, has he?' She stole a cheesy fry from Fez while he had his head turned.

Fez seemed to be ignoring the whole conversation,' Look at Pam Macy in those shorts! I would do her in a second.' He grinned, then looked down at his food,' Okay, who stole my cheesy fry?!'

Donna laughed, and Eric stole another one from him.

Hyde sat in the basement with Aimee, reading a magazine. The two hadn't even looked at each other yet, too afraid the other one would find each other out. Aimee was especially nervous because she had told her oldest brother, Casey, everything that was going on. She knew that the two had to be in contact, somewhere, somehow, and she was fighting to keep the two apart. And just to make matters worse, Casey walked into the basement at that moment, looking as suave as possible,' Hey, pipsqueak' her eye twitched at that. She hated when her brothers called her that. He continued,' I just got a message from, er, I think Jackie, or something like that. Anyway, she said she was calling from Maine, I think somewhere upstate, and she told me to tell whoever was in here that she wasn't coming back to Point Place.'

Hyde immediately stood up, but went back to his cool-self just as quickly,' Jackie, Jackie's in Maine? Why?'

Casey shrugged, whacked Aimee in the head for no apparent reason, and walked out of the basement. Aimee was in half-shock. She and Jackie were surprisingly close,' Wow, Jackie's in Maine.'
