"Why do I have to go to Jackie's wake?" Kelso asked Eric as they were busy getting ready for the wake.
"Kelso Jackie was our friend; well, actually Jackie was your friend. Don't you want to say goodbye to your friend before we burry her tomorrow?" Eric asked him.
"Not really. Where's Hyde? Why doesn't he half to go either?" Kelso asked Eric.
"Well let's see, he's hurt, and he doesn't know that Jackie's dead." Eric said.
"Yeah why is that?" Kelso asked.
"Kelso, why are you asking such stupid questions? I've explained this to you many times. Now when we go and see Hyde today remember what I said." Eric said to him.
"Don't mention Jackie at all, right, I know. I don't why you won't just tell him that she croaked. He's going to find out sooner or later." Kelso said to him.
"Yeah I know that. I'm just hoping it's later when I'm back in NY with Donna." Eric said to him.
"Why did Donna leave and why are you caring around that camera?" Kelso asked him.
"Kelso I've already told you why I have the camera and why Donna left." Eric said annoyingly.
"Well, can't you just explain to me one more time? You know that I can't remember things for long." Kelso said in a pleading voice.
"Alright fine; but pay attention this time because I'm not going to explain it too you again. Donna went back to NY because she got into a fight with my mother about Hyde not knowing. I'm carrying the camera because Donna wants pictures." Eric explained to his friend.
"What does she want pictures of?" Kelso asked him.
"She wants pictures of Jackie." Eric said.
"Jackie's dead so what's the point of taking pictures?" Kelso questioned him.
"She said she wanted pictures of Jackie." Eric said to him.
"Man, Donna's sick." Kelso replied.
"Kelso she's not sick; she's upset. She's not going to be out here for her best friends wake and funeral.
"I can't wait to see Hyde when he finds out that Jackie's dead." Kelso said to him.
"Why, are you hoping to see him cry?" Kelso asked him.
"No, because when he learns that Jackie is really dead, he's going to kill you." Kelso laughed.
"Oh yeah, what do you think he's going to do to you when he finds out that you also kept the truth from him?" Eric asked him.
Kelso was quiet when Eric asked him this. He hadn't thought about what Hyde was going to do to him. The two fixed their ties in the bathroom mirror and came down the stairs where Kelso's wife and Fez were waiting for them. The drive to Morgan's Funeral home felt like it took forever. Kitty had made all the arrangements for Jackie's wake and asked that everyone leave her alone while she made the arrangements. Jackie was to be buried in her favorite pink silk dress. Kitty, for some reason unknown, found a funeral home that humongous. The room where the wake was being held had to have had at least a thousand seats in it. When Kitty noticed that Eric was holding a camera she freaked. She asked him if he had on it and he told her it was an enlarging lens. Kitty told him to change it to a normal lens immediately. She told them that due to the seriousness of Jackie's death they weren't allowed to get close to her at all. Red, and especially Eric, found this to be very weird. How was he going to be able to take a picture if he couldn't get close to her? When his mother wasn't looking he put the other lens on and started taking pictures of Jackie. He thought about how weird his wife could be at times. He didn't understand why she would want pictures of Jackie in her coffin. When he was taking the pictures of Jackie he noticed something strange. Her skin colored looked weird. Eric quickly hid the camera lens when he saw his mother turn back around and look at him. He gave her an I'm not guilty smile and she gave him an I'm on to you smile. They were all there for an hour when all sudden Kitty started acting nervous as she did before.
"Okay everyone; it's time to get out of here." Kitty said to them.
"But mom, we haven't even been here that long. Shouldn't we stay longer so we can say goodbye to her. This is the last time any of us are going to get to see her." Eric said to her.
"Eric honey you'll get to say goodbye to her tomorrow at the funeral now everyone hall your ass to the limo." Kitty yelled at them.
"No mom. We're not going anywhere until you tell us why you're acting so anxious. Why do you want us to leave so soon and why are we not able to tell Hyde the truth it's been two days. He needs to know the truth mom." Eric said to her.
"Don't question your mom and get in the damn limo." Red yelled at him.
"No I'm not getting into the limo until she answers me." Eric yelled back.
"Eric honey, I have a lot to do before the funeral tomorrow. I'll meet you back at the house." Kitty said to them.
"Wait a minute Kitty; you're coming back to the house with us." Red said to her.
"No I'm not Red. I'll see you back at the house." Kitty said to him in a very serious manner.
Red and Eric looked at her in a suspicious way before getting back in the car.
"Hey dad before going home, I think that we should go pay Hyde a visit. We were suppose to see earlier this morning you know." Eric said to him.
"Yeah I suppose that we should go check on him. Driver drop the two dumb asses off at the hospital." Red yelled to the bus driver.
Eric asked his father.
"No I'm tired now get out." Red yelled at them.
Eric, Kelso, Annette, and Fez all got out of the car. They walked into the hospital and down the hall to Hyde's room. Annette took a seat on the couch in the waiting room while the guys went in to see Hyde. Hyde was sitting up watching T.V when they entered his room. He looked at them all weirdly. Why were they wearing suits and ties? It looked as though they had just come from funeral... wait a second had they just come back from a funeral he thought to himself. They had been acting weird lately. Whenever he mentioned Jackie's name Eric got this guilty look on his face.
"What's Jackie doing this very minute Foreman?" Hyde asked him.
"Oh, she's lying down in her new bed. I saw her in fact we all saw her lying down right gang." Kelso said to him.
"What new bed? Hey Kelso what did this new bed look like?" Hyde asked him knowing that he was more likely to get information out of Kelso rather than Eric.
"It's a queen size bed. Mrs. Foreman brought it for her." Kelso replied.
"Yeah it's queen size alright." Eric said to him.
Kitty paced back and forth at the funeral home. Dr. Covert was late. When he arrived he told Kitty it was time for the second phase of the plan. She shuck her head yes and they both went up towards the coffin.
"Kelso Jackie was our friend; well, actually Jackie was your friend. Don't you want to say goodbye to your friend before we burry her tomorrow?" Eric asked him.
"Not really. Where's Hyde? Why doesn't he half to go either?" Kelso asked Eric.
