Chapter 3 - Freakin' Out.
Jackie and Hyde fell onto the couch, their kiss was slow and deep, becoming progressively more passionate as they let their emotions take over. Jackie leant into Hyde, she tugged and played with the buttons on his shirt, her fingers grazing his skin, her legs rested lazily over his. He cupped her face with one hand and used the other to pull her closer, gently caressing the small of her back. She kissed him deeper and more franticly until... suddenly they heard voices coming from the top of the stairs as someone entered the basement. They let go of their embrace and jumped up, quickly straightening out their clothes. They stood with their arms around each other and watched as Eric, Donna and Fez marched down the stairs in single file. Eric and Fez were arguing.
"Look Fez, I already told you, I don't have your candy. I don't have ANY candy." Eric sounded frustrated.
"Then where is it?"
"Fez, for the last time, I DON'T KNOW!"
"Hyde said you did!"
"HYDE!"
"Well actually Fez, I said that I saw Forman with a bag. Which I did… a bag of chips… not candy."
"Steven!" Jackie laughed and slapped him playfully on the arm. "Here Fez, you can have some of mine." She picked up the box of candy from the couch and offered it to Fez.
"Ooo candy!" Fez said excitedly, quickly taking the box from Jackie.
"Wait Fez, noooo… The pixie might have poisoned it!"
"ERIC!" Donna said putting her hand to her mouth in a weak attempt to stifle her laughter.
"No Eric! Steven bought them for me."
"And you're giving them away! BURN!" Eric said laughing hard, finding that one way too easy.
"Noooo… Can't I just be in a good mood? Besides there's more to life than candy, even if my Steven did buy it for me." She leaned into Hyde and kissed him on the cheek.
"Jackie!" Donna exclaimed. "Grateful much?"
"No really Donna, there isn't…" Fez said stuffing a piece of candy into his mouth, as though he hadn't eaten all week. He walked over to the freezer and jumped up onto it. "Well maybe porno… or nookie!" He chuckled to himself, popping another piece of candy in his mouth.
Donna turned and looked at Fez, "Ewww, Fez! That's gross!" She said in disgust.
Jackie screwed up her face and shook her head. "Eww, no… I was talking about jewellery!"
"Oh really!" Eric said raising an eyebrow. "As if Hyde's ever gonna buy you jewellery!"
"Oh yeah! Like this jewellery!" She held out her hand so they all could see.
"WHAT?" Eric screamed, more than a little shocked.
"Oh my god!"
Fez looked up quickly, "Eh? What did I miss?"
"The- the ring. Eric stuttered pointing at Jackie's finger.
Fez jumped down from the freezer and rejoined the rest of his friends. "Ooo… sparkly!"
"Your engaged?" Donna questioned, in shock.
"Yeah, we're getting married." Jackie squealed.
Hyde stood with his arm around Jackie, seriously unable to control the huge grin plastered across his face, which spread from ear to ear.
"You are joking right? Right?" Eric said looking directly at Hyde.
"No, really." Hyde answered, still smiling.
"What did she do to you?" Eric looked at his friend. "Stop smiling."
"Sorry man, I cant help it!"
"Hyde, you're freakin' me out!" Eric said with a shudder.
Fez began to sing, "Jackie and Hyde sitting in a tree, they're in love like two monkeys."
Hyde stopped smiling, "Fez! What did I tell you about that…"
"That its not how it goes and that it makes you mad."
"Then why did you say it again."
"Because it makes you mad… and that is funny." Fez said, chuckling to himself.
"Whatever, man." Hyde said gruffly.
"C'mon guys, they're happy that's all that matters- RIGHT!" Donna snapped.
"Yeah." Eric and Fez mumbled in unison.
"Good, glad we got that one straight." Donna turned to Jackie, "Congratulations!" She said pulling her friend into a hug.
"Aww… Thank you!" Jackie said excitedly, and started to bounce up and down, forcing Donna to do the same.
Fez watched the girls with delight, his eyes grew wide and a sly grin spread across his face, "Now we're getting freaky!"
Donna and Jackie stopped hugging and stood staring at Fez. "No fez, you're a freak!" Donna replied.
"Ai!"
Hyde laughed, "Nice burn Donna!"
Donna turned to face him. "I cant believe that you actually proposed."
"Well… um- technically I didn't."
"Yeah, we kind of asked each other." Jackie added, smiling and nodding. She began to feel sad again, remembering what she'd missed out on, but tried her best to sound enthusiastic.
"Eh?" Fez said, a little confused.
"How?" Donna questioned.
"Naaaa… you have to be kidding. Right?" Eric said, the news still not sinking in.
"Oh, shut up Eric. I wanna know more." Donna said and pushed Eric onto the couch with one hand.
"Hey…" Eric got back up. Sulking, he walked over to the freezer and got out a Popsicle for himself. He leant against the dryer and ate the Popsicle, listening to what the others were saying.
"So tell us what happened?"
"Well, I've been waiting for Steven to propose for a while now…"
"Yeah, I know." Hyde interrupted, "The hints you've been dropping kinda got the point across!"
"What hints?" Jackie said innocently.
"Oh, you know, Steven I want a spring wedding, or Steven we should go there on our honeymoon. Oh and my personal favourite, Steven, which do you prefer: the Hyde-Burkhart's or the Burkhart-Hyde's…"
"Hmm." She said cutting him off. "Well anyway I got fed up of waiting, so because it's a leap year and tradition, I thought I'd take the opportunity and ask him. So I did. But Steven was gonna ask me anyway, and he'd even bought the ring, you know- just in case I accepted!
"Oh, c'mon Jackie! There's no way that you wouldn't have accepted and we all know it!"
"Yeah, that's true." She nodded, "I mean any fool could see just how much I adore him."
"Fool? Which fool's that then? Kelso?" Hyde asked.
"Amongst others!" She smiled and leaned in to kiss Hyde.
"Who's the other fool?" Fez asked.
"Him over there." Donna laughed, nodding towards Eric.
"Hey!"
