Disclaimer: can't sue this gal, I don't own not one thing. Although I'd love to own a piece of Hyde.

Chapter #2

" I'm just trying to help, my charm is just a perk." Jokes Randy with a shy smile.

Standing on her tip toes, Jackie give Randy a quick kiss," I'm going to head to my tent, I'm tired…thanks for getting me to smile though."

Blushing in response, Randy tries to hide a goofy grin," anything for a pretty girl like you Jackie."

" Night Randy." Chuckles Jackie with a yawn.

" Night Jackie." Responded Randy, touching his lips where Jackie kissed him. …

Poking her head inside the tent, Jackie tips toes in. changing into her pajamas, she combs out her hair. Wriggling into the sleeping bag next to Hyde, she nuzzles up next to him. Staring over at Hyde, Jackie touches his arm,"…Steven?"

Turning his back toward Jackie, Hyde closes his eyes," go to sleep Burkhart."

" What is with you?" asks Jackie, shivering at a sudden chill.

" Whatever." Grumbles Hyde, closing his eyes once more.

Nudging her face into Hyde's back, Jackie hugs him lightly," thanks for bringing me camping with you…you're a good friend Steven."

" Who said that we were friends?" …Wincing as the sting of tears hits his back, Hyde turns to face Jackie," come on Jacks, I'm…"

" Leave me alone you jerk!" yells Jackie as she shoves Hyde away.

" Jackie, where are you going?" questions Hyde as he jumps out of the sleeping bag.

Grabbing her pillow in a huff, Jackie glares up at Hyde," to find somewhere else to sleep!"

Following Jackie out of the tent, Hyde grabs her hand," come on Jackie, I was only joking."

" What's up?" ponders Randy, noticing their quarrel.

" Steven is a jerk, and I have no where to sleep." Snaps Jackie, clearly upset.

Raising an eye brow at this, Randy picks at his marsh mellow," the first part isn't a surprise, but why don't you have a place to sleep?"

Folding her arms across her chest, Jackie scowls in Hyde's direction," because I am NOT sleeping by Steven."

" You could stay in my tent, but I share with Charlie." Suggests Randy with a shy smile.

" I don't think so, Jackie get in the tent and go to sleep or I'm taking you home in the morning. Got it!" informs Hyde, giving Jackie a light push towards the tent.

" You're a jerk Steven Hyde!" snaps Jackie in a huff. (Stalks back into their tent)

" Way to win her over Hyde." Teases Randy with a laugh.

" Whatever." Growls Hyde, walking back toward the tent. …

(Following morning)

" Hey." Whispers Hyde, leaning over Jackie.

" Go to hell." Hisses Jackie, going back to sleep.

Pulling Jackie close as she shivers, Hyde wraps her in his arms," still mad at me, I guess?"

Turning away from Hyde, Jackie closes her eyes," go away."

" Look, I'm sorry ok." pleads Hyde before pecking her cheek.

" I don't care." Informs Jackie with a frown.

Laying his chin on Jackie's shoulder, Hyde whispers in her ear," come on Jackie, its no secret that I'm an idiot."

Shuddering at this, Jackie tenses up completely,"…Steven…"

" What?" asks Hyde as he holds her close?

" Nothing." Sighs Jackie, cuddling up against Hyde,"

Hiding his sudden arousal as Jackie's hip nudges his inner thigh, Hyde sits up in his spot," so, are we cool now?"

Pulling Hyde down for a hug, Jackie pecks his cheek," so long as we're friends."

" We're friends." Assures Hyde quickly, silently cursing himself.

" I'm glad Steven." Responds Jackie with a tired smile. …

(Two hours later)

" You two sure slept in." greets Randy as the two emerge from the tent.

" That's because Steven hogged the sleeping bag and I couldn't sleep." Enlightens Jackie with a tired yawn.

Picking at his plate, Hyde frown in response," oh yeah? Well, you kept on kicking me all night."

Sticking her tongue out at Hyde, Jackie steals a piece of his beacon," that's only because you kept on going onto MY side of the sleeping bag."

" That was my beacon!" hollers Hyde as he picks at his plate.

" Well maybe you should have ate it!" reminds Jackie, savoring the beacon taste. …" mmm, bea-con."

Grumbling at this, Hyde holds a piece of ice to the back of Jackie's neck," want to try that again Burkhart?"

Jumping up from her spot, Jackie slaps Hyde on the arm," Steven that's really cold!"

" I know, that was the whole point." Grins Hyde victoriously.

" Whatever." Mutters Hyde, throwing the ice at him.

Smirking over at Jackie, Hyde shoves her lightly," oh, lighten up already Jackie."

Pinching Hyde on the arm, Jackie looks up at him with a scowl," you lighten up."

" You two sure argue a lot." Observes Randy, slightly jealous.

" Steven always starts it though." Tattles Jackie, finishing her drink.

Sitting down beside Jackie, Hyde rolls his eyes," what are you? A five year old?"

Gasping at this, Jackie decides to mock Hyde," what are you? A five year old."

" Ok, now you sound like a first grader." Points out Hyde, shaking his head.

" I know you are but what am I!" retaliates Jackie, clearly un-offended.

Finishing the last of his breakfast, Randy can't help but laugh," who wants to go for a hike?"

Taking a swig of his drink, Charlie sits up in his seat," I'm in, there are some hot girls across the lake."

" Well, I'm not. They're probably whores anyway. You guys go, I'm fine right here." Informs Jackie with a huff.

" What about you Hyde? You going to come?" asks Randy, standing from his seat.

Watching Jackie walk off to the tent, Hyde grunts in response," no, I'm cool man." …

" Hey." Greets Hyde, walking into the tent cautiously.

" Steven…what are you still doing here?" questions Jackie with raised eyebrows.

Sitting down near Jackie, Hyde picks up her book," I just thought you might want some company, I know how you scare easy. …Plus, there could be bears."

Sighing to herself, Jackie glances over at Hyde," I'm fine Steven."

" Are you?" asks Hyde, showing honest concern.

" Why do you even care anyway?" retorts Jackie, avoiding the question.

With a shake of his head, Hyde studies Jackie's face," because no one else seems to."

Turning her back toward Hyde, Jackie curls up in her spot," well, I don't need you to."

" I see, and what is that supposed to mean?" ponders Hyde, slightly hurt but hiding it. … --
