"Donna, I'm home." Eric came in through the back door. He saw his wife
sitting down at the kitchen table and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Jackie
knows."
"Hyde told her. She called me crying her heart out. I can't help but think that this can't be right. This can't be best of her."
"You don't see it now Donna but in the long run..." Eric trailed off. He didn't want to think about others problems. "Could you imagine if you were in love with me but weren't with me? Think of the pain? That's what Jackie goes through everyday of her life. Hyde being nice to her makes her love him more. Hyde has to be cruel, it's the only way for Jackie to move on and be happy with someone else."
"Whatever Eric. I think Hyde and Jackie want to be together."
"Hyde doesn't."
"You know this for a fact?"
"He told me."
"Well Hyde's word isn't much to go on..."
"Donna, he went along with this idea so obviously he doesn't want to get back together with her. As long as Jackie thinks that he is with Sharon, she will learn to move on."
"It doesn't make any sense to me but whatever." Donna went off to bed and Eric thought about it. It made sense to him... or it did... was he messing with their lives now? He meant to help. What was he going to do?

"Fez, I don't want a baby blue bracelet.... No I won't give you two hundred for it.... Because I don't want one.... Because I don't.... but Fez.... Good day to you too." Jackie hung up the phone. Fez was now in marketing and called her constantly for help because Jackie was a shopper. Fez just realized that morning that he didn't get a check last week because he gets commission. Christmas was the worst time of the year. She felt so lonely. She had gone over to Donna and Eric's but had left early, before the gang got there. Donna was now forcing her to go to a New Years Eve party but Jackie didn't want to go. She told Donna it was because she didn't know anyone but the truth was she wasn't into partying. She had heard from Eric that Hyde had postponed the wedding to a later date.
"Hello? Is anybody home?" Donna called.
"I'm in here." Jackie walked out of her bedroom.
"Are you ready? We're leaving now."
"I told you I wasn't going."
"What are you going to do instead?"
"Urg."
"Come on, I got you a dress."
"Colour?"
"Baby blue, oh and I bought you a baby blue bracelet. I picked it out myself, to match the dress."
"You gave into Fez huh?"
"Damn. I was trying to make you think I got it myself."
"Alright I'll be out in ten minutes."
"Great. See you out in the car." Donna left the little brunette. Jackie got dress into the little baby blue dress and the matching baby blue bracelet. Her hair was up in a curly mess on top of her head but looked stunning. She got into the car and they drove off to the party.

Kelso and fez were over at Hyde's. They didn't have anything to do. They were watching T.V. and eating cookies.
"well I wish I could stay but... well that's a lie, I don't wish I could stay but anyway I got a hot date tonight. I'll see you boys later." Kelso left.
"Well Fez, it looks like it's down to the two of us. What do you want to watch? The hockey game on channel eleven OR the hockey game on channel six?"
"Actually I have to go." Fez left. Hyde was now all alone.
Great, he thought to himself. This is going to be fun. Actually it won't be that bad, I mean I'm watching the game and eating the best cookie in the world. Things are great.
