Note from author: "Hi, as I stated at the end of the last chapter, I really didn't like the last chapter, so after so feedback, I changed it from 'In the Circle: 3' to 'Owner of a Record Store.' So if you've already read chap. 19, please go back and read it before you read this chap. otherwise you won't get this one. Thanks."

I did as Donna suggested and kept myself occupied with the radio during the car ride back to Point Place. Every once in a while Hyde would try to talk to me but I would just exclaimed that "I love this song!" and turn the volume up a little more, singing along with "Stairway to Heaven" and "Money." I'm pretty sure that Hyde caught on to what I was trying to do, but he allowed me to ignore the situation anyway.

Donna was waiting to help pull my bags from the El Camino when we pulled up to the front of the dorm building.

"How was your vacation?" Donna asked with a broad smile on her face.

I rolled my eyes but replied anyways. "Good, and yours?"

"Pretty good," Donna nodded. "You didn't really miss anything. Oh, wait, Kelso did try to go sledding off of Jackie's roof into the pool."

"Did he get hurt?" I asked my eyes wide with the continued stupidity of my friend.

"Well, he did have to get two stitches just above his eyebrow," Donna shrugged.

"I wonder if he'll ever get a broken bone," Hyde commented.

After Hyde and Donna made sure all my stuff was unpacked and in place, the three of them headed over to the Forman's. Mrs. Forman was waiting with the Kelso, Fez, Jackie, Eric, and a welcome home cake.

"Hi Mrs. Forman," Hyde said as he hugged her with one arm, his other hand filled with a duffle bag.

"Can I have a piece of cake now, Mrs. Forman?" Fez asked.

"Let me cut it," Kitty replied. "He's been asking about this cake for the past two hours. Eric, will you get out the plates and forks out?"

Kitty had just cut the first piece of cake and was passing it to Fez when Laurie walked in through the swinging door.

"Sweet, cake," she said as took the plate out of her mother's hand before Fez had a chance to take it for himself.

"Ai!" Fez whined.

"Here you go," Kitty said, passing Fez another piece of cake.

"Thank you," Fez said as he began to greedily shovel pieces of cake into his mouth.

Kitty then made sure that everyone else got a piece of cake before she cut herself one.

"So, what did you kids do while you were home, Eppie?" Kitty asked as she took a bite of her cake.

"Yeah," Donna smiled. "What did you kids do?"

"Oh, please don't tell me you slept with him!" Laurie indicated Hyde with her fork.

"Now Laurie!" Kitty said. "Well, that's just not a very nice thing to say!"

"Anyway," I said, shaking the thought of Laurie's comment out of my head. "We didn't do to terribly much. Ya know, just normal stuff."

"Did you here about what I did?" Kelso asked excitedly as he pulled away his hair from his forehead to let us look at the scare with the two stitches.

"Yeah man, I'm sorry I missed it," Hyde laughed

"That's gross!" I exclaimed at the same time.

"Hey, Mom," Eric said. "Thanks for the cake." He then kissed her on the forehead and headed down to the basement with Donna in tow. The rest of us all said our thanks and followed the couple down the steps.

"So, what did you do?" Eric asked as he jumped over the back of the couch and took a seat. I glanced at Donna who was smiling ear to ear. I could tell she was enjoying being the only one who knew about the little kiss.

"Like Ep. said, not much," Hyde said casually, taking his rightful place in the old kitchen chair.

"So what, you just sat around for about two and a half weeks?" Eric didn't really seem to comprehend this.

"Well, I did get to go to jail," Hyde told him.

"Hyde!" Eric cried out. "Do you have to get arrested everywhere you go?"
"Man, that's awesome!" Kelso exclaimed, rocking a little in the lawn chair.

"I didn't exactly get arrested," Hyde admitted with a little smirk.

"We went to visit my brother," I told the group.

"Why is your brother in jail?" Jackie asked me.

"He got caught trying to skip out on his draft papers," I explained, pushing a bit of my hair back behind my ear.

"I liked the guy," Hyde nodded.

"You would," Eric rolled his eyes with a hint of a laugh.

After that, Fez was instructed to turn on the T.V. and told to turn the channel dial until I saw I clip of "Bewitched" and told him to stop.
