Disclaimer: can't sue this gal, I don't own not one thing. Although I'd love to own a piece of Hyde.
Author's Note: this is my all ORIGINAL VERSION of how J/H got together. If you like, please review it.
Chapter #3
" Nothing…I just don't need you to look out for me." Informs Jackie in a matter-of-factly tone.
Staring down at Jackie, Hyde lets out a tired huff," that doesn't mean I'm not going to anyway."
Looking over at Hyde, after a moment Jackie quietly asks," do you mean that Steven?"
" Well…yeah." Admits Hyde, fixing his sunglasses.
"…Thanks." Smiles Jackie as she pulls Hyde close for a hug. …
" So, what do you want to do?" questions Hyde, flipping through Jackie's magazine with her.
" Did you bring your stash?" ponders Jackie, filing her nails.
Riffling through his nap sack, Hyde pulls out a brown paper baggie," I never leave home with out it.
Jumping up from her seat, Jackie pulls Hyde up with her," cool, want to start a circle?"
" You read my mind Jackie." Grins Hyde, following her out of the tent. …
(An hour later)
" Ok, is it me or is everything spinning?" asks Jackie, grasping at the air around her. " This is making me dizzy."
" I don't know, but there are about two of you…and it's really freaking me out. It's starting to make me paranoid…well more then I already am." Coughs Hyde, shaking his head as a third Jackie appears. " Whoa, what's in this stuff?"
Spraying whip cream in her mouth, Jackie can't help but laugh," you know what we need…marsh mallows!"
Taking a swig of his beer, Hyde tosses Jackie one," I like the way you think Jackie."
" Ha…oogaly boogaly…oogaly!" laughs Jackie as she downs her beer.
" Ok, so no more for you." Informs Hyde with a snicker.
" Oh my god! Steven, you have whip cream on your face. Don't move!"… Leaning forward in her seat, Jackie pecks Hyde on the side of his mouth,"got it!"
Tensing up slightly, Hyde turns his head so their lips meet," thanks."
" Steven…" gasps Jackie as she touches her fingers to her lips.
" Sorry." Grumbles Hyde, bracing himself for a slap across the face.
Following Hyde into their tent, Jackie touches his arm," it's cool, I just…you know didn't see it coming."
Shaking his head in confusion, Hyde looks over at Jackie," so, what your not mad?"
T so we're even…" (Kisses Hyde shyly)…" there." Says Jackie with a smile.
" Wow…I'm not opposed to doing it you know." Suggests Hyde with a goofy grin.
Rolling her eyes at Hyde, Jackie shoves him playfully," shut up." Smirking in response, Hyde merely gives a shrug," eh, it was worth a try."
" Yeah, but I'm not that high." Jokes Jackie with a chuckle.
" I see…so you want to start another circle?" ponders Hyde, raising a suggestive eyebrow.
Slapping Hyde's arm lightly, Jackie can't help but laugh," eww, Steven! Be serious."
Tossing a marsh mellow in his mouth, Hyde just smiles," what? …Jackie, your freaking' hot!"
"…You think I'm hot?" asks Jackie after a moments pause.
" I never said that." Lies Hyde, mentally kicking himself.
" Yes you did." Accuses Jackie, taking a step forward.
" No I didn't." scoffs Hyde, stumbling back a step.
" Steven, you did too. Just admit it!" yells Jackie as she corners Hyde. …
" You two are at it again? …Damn." Observes Randy, grabbing himself a drink.
" Steven won't admit he thinks I'm hot!" informs Jackie, looking at Hyde with a scowl.
Looking at Jackie confused, Randy shakes his head," and you're upset by this?"
Letting out a sad huff, Jackie kicks at the ground," no, it's just felt nice to hear someone say that. I was beginning to think that it wasn't true."
" Why is that?" question Randy as he sit by Jackie.
" Well, it's just that…nothing. I'll be in the tent." Says Jackie before taking off.
"…dammit!" …Peaking inside the tent, Hyde walks in," ok, what's wrong Jackie?"
Burying her face into her pillow, Jackie sobs silently," nothing."
" Jackie, I'm not Kelso. I know when something is wrong." Points out Hyde, sitting next to Jackie.
" Leave me alone Steven." Mumbles Jackie, crying into her pillow.
Laying down beside Jackie, Hyde pulls her into his arms," why are you upset?"
Nudging her face into Hyde's neck, Jackie hugs his chest," if I'm so hot, why does Michael always cheat on me?"
" Kelso's a dumb ass, if I had a girl like you…I wouldn't even think about other girls." Comforts Hyde, brushing a piece of hair from Jackie's face.
" Really?" asks Jackie, looking up at Hyde.
Jumping up when Jackie kisses him, Hyde stumbles back," whoa!"
Giving Hyde a shy smile, Jackie grab his hand," what?"
" You just kissed me." States Hyde, staring at Jackie in shock.
" I know." Says Jackie with a nod.
Taking a step backwards, Hyde looks down at Jackie," Jackie, you can't just up and kiss me."
Giving Hyde a hurt look, Jackie swipes at her eyes," I see." …
" What's with her?" questions Randy, watching Jackie run past him.
" Get bent!" growls Hyde, grabbing himself a beer.
Sitting up in his seat, Randy finishes his own beer," why are you mad at me? You're the idiot. …I'm going to talk to Jackie."
Watching Randy walk off, Hyde grumbles to himself," whatever."
" So what happened?" asks Charlie with a raised eyebrow.
" Jackie kissed me." Enlightens Hyde with a frown.
Munching on his hot dog, Charlie nods in response," so what's the problem then?"
Frowning at this, Hyde lets out an exaggerated huff," she's not supposed to kiss me."
" So? If you like Jackie, kiss her back. Or Randy will." Advises Charlie, finishing his hot dog.
" What are you talking about?" asks Hyde, sitting up in his seat.
Staring over at Hyde like he's a moron, Charlie just laughs," wow, you're dumb."
Leaning forward in his seat, Hyde frogs Charlie on his shoulder," shut up, and tell me what you're talking about already before I kick your ass."
" I mean that Jackie likes you, and Randy likes her. And if you don't make a move quick then he will without any hesitation…and quit doing that. It's really starting to hurt." Complains Charlie as he rubs his arm in pain. … --
