In The Beginning
Chapter Twenty One: Black Bra
"So, how's it going with your mom?" Donna asked sweetly as she rolled off her bed and stretched her arms out.
"Fine, I guess." Jackie scrunched her nose up as she flipped a page of her Cosmo, "I don't see her much."
"What about your dad?" Donna sat down on the edge of her bed, watching Jackie, who was seated at Donna's desk, as she folded back a page of the magazine, reading it with extreme focus.
"Hmm?" Jackie looked up, unfazed.
"Nothing." Donna clearly took this as Jackie's way of saying, 'don't want to talk about it' and backed off. "So, I was thinking,"
"You shouldn't do too much of that." Jackie said slyly, flipping another page. "Gives you wrinkles."
"Jackie," Donna rolled her eyes. "I just turned 16. I don't think I'm going to have to worry about wrinkles for a long time."
Jackie looked up at Donna skeptically, scanning the horizons of her friend's forehead, "Never too soon to start."
"Shut up!" Donna laughed, throwing a heart shaped pillow at Jackie's head. Jackie held her hands up quickly in defense, watching her magazine and the pillow fall to the ground.
"Donna, have you seen my..." Midge, Donna's ditzy mother waltzed in, carrying a few hangers, "Oh, hi Jackie."
"Hi Mrs. Pinciotti." Jackie said brightly, giving Donna an evil glare as she bent down to pick up her Cosmo.
"What are you looking for mom?" Donna asked as her mother went towards Donna's closet, sifting through it.
"I can't seem to find my black bra." Midge shrugged, placing the hangers into Donna's closet. She turned back to the girls, who both shrugged.
Jackie piped up, "Well, Donna doesn't have it, that's for sure."
"Actually," Donna said, biting her lip as Jackie looked at her with shock. Donna stood up, opening a dresser drawer and throwing her mother her black bra, "Sorry, I forgot to put it back."
"Oh good!" Midge clutched the bra carefully. "I thought I left it in the Vista Cruiser again!"
"Why would it be in the Vista Cruiser?" Jackie asked quickly, and then winced in disgust as Donna shook her head. "Oh." She looked at Midge. "Ew..."
"Donna, you'll come with your father to drop me off, tomorrow, right?"
"Of course, mom." Donna smiled as Midge planted a kiss on her daughter's forehead, before exiting the room.
"Where's your mom going?" Jackie asked nosily as she took a seat next to Donna on the bed.
"California."
"Didn't she just get back from California?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Oh, Donna..." Jackie shook her head at the naïve girl to her right and flipped another page in her magazine. "Aha!"
"What?" Donna grabbed the magazine, scanning the page.
"Thinking DOES give you wrinkles!" Jackie laughed, pointing at the article which read her exact words. "I was just making it up, but it's true!"
"Well, obviously," Donna rolled her eyes as she handed the magazine back to Jackie, "You won't be getting any wrinkles."
"Thanks, Donna!" Jackie smiled brightly, flipping another page as Donna laughed.
*****************
"So, Forman..." Hyde began, taking his seat in the circle. "How's life?"
"Wow, is Hyde actually here in the basement with his friends?" Eric asked sarcastically. "Because you know, usually, he's sucking face with the devil."
"Come on, man." Hyde groaned as Fez laughed, nodding in agreement. "I know I've been spending a lot of time with Jackie," He couldn't help his bashful grin from poking through, "But I'm here now."
"Yeah, what happened?" Fez laughed. "Did she finally realize that she is in love with moi, and not you?"
"She's at Donna's." Hyde muttered.
"Speaking of Donna..." Eric began, as Fez and Hyde groaned together.
"Here he goes." Fez muttered. "Donna this, Donna that."
Hyde sat up straight, pushing his glasses further up his nose as he mimicked Eric, "Guys," He spoke with a squeaky, girlish voice as Fez cracked up. "I don't know what to do about Donna!"
"Come on, guys." Eric said seriously, kicking Hyde out of his impression.
"Ok, ok." Fez finished his laughing. "Tell us your Donna problems."
"Ok, well, should I ask her out?"
"Yes!" Fez rejoiced. "Problem solved. Next..."
"No, man." Hyde shook his head. "Donna's a special girl. If you're going to ask her out, you should do it in public. Girls like that."
"Are you sure, man?" Eric asked suspiciously.
Eric and Fez both eyed Hyde as he leaned towards them.
"Hey, who here has a girlfriend?" Hyde raised his hand, as Fez and Eric laughed.
"Jackie's your girlfriend!?" Fez moaned. "Ai."
"No, that's not what I meant..." Hyde rolled his eyes. "I meant, which one of us is getting some. And that would be me." Fez and Eric nodded in agreement. "Trust me, Eric, asking Donna out in front of everyone would show her how much you care." Hyde threw his arm around Eric lazily.
"You're right, Hyde." Eric stood up. "I'm going to go practice!"
Eric ran up the stairs as Fez looked across the table at Hyde, who leaned back, smiling in satisfaction.
"And this way, we get to see him when he gets shut down." Hyde laughed, as he went back towards his room.
Fez laughed as well as Kelso stormed in, slamming the door as he sat on the couch.
"Rough day with Pam?" Fez asked obnoxiously. "I'm sure being with a girl is really rough!"
"You know, at first, I thought dating Pam would be fun. She had the three things I look for in a chick." He counted it off with his fingers as he spoke, "Boobs, money, and boobs. But no," He crossed his arms angrily. "Now she wants to be all serious. She's cutting me off until I tell her that I love her."
"She's cutting what off?" Fez asked with bulging eyes.
"Doing it!" Kelso shouted, laughing as Fez breathed out a sigh of relief. "I should really break up with her. I mean, she's hot and all, but there's only one girl I want to be with," Kelso began to open his mouth, as he heard footsteps behind him. He turned his head, nodding towards Hyde, who settled back in his chair with a copy of Rolling Stone, "Hey man."
"Hey..." Hyde said awkwardly.
"Listen," Kelso leaned in, "We've been best friends since, well, forever."
Hyde flipped through the magazine as Kelso continued.
"I don't see why we should let some girl get in the way of that."
Hyde and Kelso both knew this wasn't just *some* girl they were talking about.
Nonetheless, Hyde nodded, looking up from the magazine as Kelso stuck his hand out.
"Friends?"
"Wow, Kelso that is really mature of you!" Fez applauded as Kelso nodded then looked at his hand, which Hyde had still neglected to shake.
Hyde paused slowly, shook his head, and stuck his hand out, shaking Kelso's firmly.
"Yeah, man." Hyde smiled, continuing to flip through his magazine as an episode of Charlie's Angels started.
"Steven, something terrible has happened!" Jackie's voice shouted as she barged in, throwing her purse on the couch by Kelso, who she obviously didn't notice was there.
"Did your mom leave?" Hyde asked quickly as Jackie leaned against the couch in a huff.
"What, no." Jackie scrunched her face up awkwardly. "Donna wore a black bra!"
Kelso, Fez, and Hyde smirked all at once at the thought and Jackie shook Hyde's leg violently, making him come out of it.
"Do you know what that means, Steven?" Jackie pouted. "That means that Donna is seeing someone. Someone who isn't Eric!"
"Or maybe she just likes the color."
"Steven, you don't wear black underwear unless you want someone to see it!"
"So, what color is your bra, Jackie?" Fez asked quietly.
She turned around, rolling her eyes, freezing as she caught the sight of Kelso, listening intently.
She looked back at Hyde with nervous eyes, but shrugged it off when she realized he seemed very calm.
"Eric needs to ask her out soon." Jackie continued. "You need to help him!"
"I think that's more in my department." Kelso said proudly, standing up.
Jackie didn't look up at him, but looked at Steven, searching for a sign of help.
"Jackie, I'm not going to coach Forman when it comes to girls." Hyde groaned, putting his feet up on the table. "It's so much funnier when he learns the lessons himself."
"Steven," Jackie laughed bitterly, "I said that I want you to help him."
"And I said no." Hyde stood up, throwing his magazine down as he went upstairs.
Jackie sighed, crossing her arms angrily as she fell back onto the couch, staring at the tv screen.
"Why won't he follow directions?" Jackie asked to no one in particular.
"Oh, Jackie," Fez said sadly, "Hyde is not a dog."
"I know that," Jackie rolled her eyes. "But boys are *like* dogs. They're cute and they always look guilty. And they're supposed to listen to their master." Jackie said with a bitter force.
"Yeah, but Hyde isn't like that, Jackie." Kelso spoke up, staring straight at the screen as Jackie looked at him with surprise. "He follows the beat of his own drum. Personally, I like a nice, tight leash." Kelso looked at Fez happily. "Makes me feel safe."
Fez nodded in understanding as Jackie sighed.
"So how do I get him to do what I want?" Jackie whimpered.
"Bribe him?" Fez offered.
"With what?" Jackie shrugged. "He won't even let me pay for dinner; you think he'll like me spoiling him with gifts?"
"What about sex?" Fez asked, his eyes shimmering with joy.
"Sex?" Jackie asked quietly, taking a minute to let this sink in.
"Please, Fez," Kelso laughed. "Jackie's never had sex."
Jackie looked at Kelso angrily, focusing her anger straight ahead as she spoke, "I never had sex with you, Michael."
"You were having sex with someone else while we were dating?" Kelso asked with shock.
"No, you idiot." Fez shook his head. "She means Hyde."
"Geez, Jackie!" Kelso screamed. "I knew you had been cheating, but sex!"
"We didn't have sex while you and I were dating." Jackie said strongly, since it was true. They didn't. And they didn't have sex now, but Kelso doesn't need to know that...
"You and Hyde..." Kelso started, stopping himself as Eric and Hyde ran downstairs, "Make a wonderful couple." Kelso spat out, crossing his arms bitterly.
"We're not a couple." Hyde said as Jackie rolled her eyes.
"What are we then?" Jackie asked angrily, pleased when he just shrugged. "We are so a couple!"
"Yeah, a couple of dumbasses!" Red shouted as he came downstairs, overhearing the conversation. "Eric, we need to talk later."
"Does this have to do with the lamp in the living room?"
"What did you do to the lamp in the living room!?" Red stomped angrily.
"Um," Eric laughed. "Nothing."
Red groaned, making his way back upstairs as Kelso laughed.
"Hyde, how come you never told me you and Jackie did it!"
"You and Jackie had sex?" Eric asked with disgust.
Hyde looked at Jackie, who slapped Kelso furiously.
"Whatever." Hyde said nonchalantly.
"How was it?" Fez asked. "Details, please."
"Fez, I'm sitting right here!" Jackie yelled.
"So, you can explain it too," Fez laughed. "Sheesh."
"We didn't have sex!" Jackie muttered, standing up and fetching her purse.
"But you said..." Kelso began.
"I said that I never had sex with you." Jackie said quickly, "And that's true."
"So, when will you two be doing it?" Fez asked, looking between Jackie and Hyde. "And can I watch?"
"No!" Hyde and Jackie both screamed, each looking slightly flustered.
"God, you guys are just sex crazed pigs!" Jackie screamed. "I'm going back to Donna's." She ran out the door as Kelso smirked at Hyde.
"You know, you really should do it with Jackie." Kelso laughed. "She's tense."
"Ok, can we not discuss Jackie and Hyde doing it?" Eric asked uncomfortably. "Please?"
"I second that." Hyde muttered, as Jackie stormed back in, slapping Eric upside the head.
"What the hell was that for?" Eric asked angrily, rubbing his head.
"Ask Donna out before she shows her black bra to someone who isn't a scrawny loser!" Jackie screamed, giving each boy a disgusted look as she stormed right back out.
"Donna has a black bra?" Eric asked, drooling slightly.
"Yeah..." Fez, Kelso, and Hyde said dreamily.
"Man, I really need to ask her out." Eric concluded as the others nodded.
"Yeah, especially because I'm in the market now," Kelso said proudly, dusting himself off as he stood up, "And I am wanted by the ladies."
"I don't know Kelso," Eric laughed. "I don't think Jackie wants you too badly."
Kelso shrugged, "Man, I'm so over Jackie." He looked at Hyde, hoping to see his reaction, but of course, Hyde never showed reactions. "I'm hungry, Fez, you want to pick up chicks at the Hub?"
"Ok." Fez nodded happily, standing up and following Kelso, "But I hope they aren't too heavy."
Eric and Hyde laughed as they were left alone.
"So, you're really going to ask Donna out?" Hyde smirked.
"I'm going to try."
"See, what's great about Jackie, is that she basically asked herself out." Hyde laughed, "She's sweet like that."
"Did you just call Jackie sweet?"
"Yeah." Hyde shrugged. "I've been spending way too much time with her."
"Yeah." Eric laughed. "Because you lov-," Eric grabbed his arm as Hyde punched it.
"Don't even go there, Forman."
Eric rubbed his arm as Hyde smirked.
"Fine." Eric stood up, grabbing the doorknob of the side door as he shouted. "Hyde loves Jackie!"
Hyde stood up quickly as Eric ran out the door, laughing.
"Oh, Steven, where's your girlfriend?" Kitty Forman asked as she came down the stairs, balancing a basket of laundry.
"She's not my girlfriend!" Hyde screamed, startling Kitty.
"Ok..." Kitty laughed. "Well when you see that girl you spend all your time with who you happen to kiss a lot, tell her that I still have her clothes from the other night."
"Mrs. Forman, she's not my girlfriend."
"I believe you, Steven." Kitty laughed, shoving the last of the dirty laundry in the washing machine. "But do you believe it?"
