It was a beautiful spring evening. It was Donna and Eric's rehearsal
dinner. Three years
ago they had eloped to Las Vegas and got married there but soon regretted doing so
without their friends and family. Now, it was their time to renew their vows and have a
proper wedding with everyone there.
"What did I miss?" Fez asked Jackie as he came in five minutes late.
"Nothing. They're blabbering on about their love." Jackie answered grumpily.
"What's wrong?" Kelso asked, hearing her tone of voice.
"Nothing." Jackie ran off.
"Must be that time of the month." Kelso whispered to Fez.
"Must be."
"What are you morons talking about?" Hyde approached them.
"Oh Jackie's just in a bad mood and we were wondering why." Kelso said.
"Well, she's always in a bad mood." Hyde walked over to the table of food and had some punch.
"Jackie... Hyde's here."
"He is?" Jackie asked nervously.
"Yes. He just arrived. We can put you two on the other side of the table. That way you won't have to talk or anything." Donna said.
"Okay. Wow, Donna are you wearing make-up?" Donna blushed. "You don't look like a lumberjack that much tonight."
"Thanks Jackie." Donna hugged her and then headed out to find Eric.

Jackie was painting her nails pink. Fez was watching her closely. Eric was having trouble tying up his tie. Kelso was watching Gilligan's island and Hyde was nowhere in sight.
"Where's Hyde?" Fez asked.
"He's meeting us at the church."
"Where's Donna?"
"She's meeting us at the church Fez."
"Aren't you scared she will back out of this?"
"Fez, we're already married!"
"Oh. Sure Eric." Jackie just rolled her eyes. She left to help Donna get ready and couldn't believe her eyes as she walked in the room.
"Donna!" Jackie shrieked.
"Hey, what do you think?"
"I think it's very unlumberjack of you." They both laughed.
"Hyde's the best man. You're the maid of honor, you have to walk down the aisle together." Donna reminded Jackie.
"I know. It's no big deal. Maybe we can be friends."
"That's very mature of you. In fact it doesn't sound like you."
"Yeah, who am I kidding? I can't stand Steven!"

Hyde was sitting on his car top. He had tried to get back his El Camino after Sharon had left him, but he couldn't track it down. He bought another one, but it was different. It reminded him of his relationship of Jackie, she was so different now and he realized that they would never be the same.
"Hey." Jackie said quietly.
"Jackie?" Hyde asked. He couldn't believe that just one hour before the wedding she would come out and look for him. She didn't even have a car.
"Yes. It is I." Jackie laughed nervously.
"What's up?"
"Where's your car?"
"This is mine."
"Oh. I thought yours was-"
"I sold my old one when I bought a house with Sharon and I couldn't get it back but this is the closest I can get to it."
"Hmm..." Jackie trailed off.
"You want to go for a ride?"
"Let's just sit here for a while." Jackie joined him on the hood.
"This is where we went on our first date."
"Back when you couldn't stand me. I remember."
"I didn't hate you or anything, we were just so different."
"You've changed a lot."
"So have you." Hyde pointed out.
"Steven?"
"Yes?"
"Do you hate it when I call you Steven?"
"No. I love it actually."
"Oh." There was dead silence, but in a good way. Jackie had finally learned to communicate without always talking and Hyde had learned to talk sometimes rather then use actions all the time.
"Jackie, although everything's changed.... Something's don't."
