Chapter 4 - Girl talk.

"Wait a minute. Spring wedding? If you want a spring wedding, you're gonna have to work incredibly fast, I mean there's the cake, the flowers, the dresses…"

"Oh my god! Donna, your right! Ste…" She started, quickly turning on her heels to face Hyde.

"No. No. No."He quickly jumped in, "Spring next year.. Or maybe the year after that…"

"Oh… your not getting out of it that easily mister…"

"But…"

"Steeeeven!" She whined, tugging at his shirt.

"Whipped!" Eric screeched at Hyde.

"Get bent!"

"Whipped like the family pig…"

"Shut it Forman!"

Jackie, ignoring the guys banter, turned to face Donna, "Donna, will you be my bridesmaid?"

"Uh... yeah, sure… Just as long as you don't want me to wear one of those uggo, froufrou dresses!" Donna said, laughing.

"Uggo dresses? There will be no uggo dresses at my wedding thank you very much!"

"Okay. I'm sorry. Just please don't make it pink, and ease off on the flouncy-frilly-thingies!"

"Yay!" Jackie squeeled. "Come on Donna, we have to go get some new bridal magazines, my old ones are pretty dated."

Although Hyde knew exactly what he was getting himself into, the reality of the situation started to sink in. "Oh crap!" He groaned.

"Bye, baby!" Jackie said quickly before he could protest, and kissed him gently on the lips.

"What? Now? Ok… WHOA!" Donna screamed as Jackie quickly grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the basement, leaving the boys alone. She wrenched Donna outside and all the way up the stairs, surprising her by how much strength she had in such a tiny frame..

"Jackie, let go!"

"Oh, I'm sorry Donna. I'm just so… so…"

"Excited?"

"Yeah. Is it that obvious?"

"Oh yeah!" Donna laughed. "Come on, lets go."

They continued onto the drive where they bumped into Kelso, who was shooting hoops by himself.

"Hey, are you gonna let me in on the secret yet?

"What secret?" Donna questioned and looked at Jackie.

"Jackie and Hyde were in the basement talking, and made me leave." Kelso said poutily.

"Michael there is no secret! We just needed to be left alone to talk… But now I can tell you what it was all about… Steven and I are getting married!" She flashed him the ring on her finger, which glistened in the midday sun. "YAY!" She squealed excitedly, jumping up and down. Before Kelso could say a word she'd grabbed Donna's arm again and dragged her away, leaving him alone and completely dumbfounded.

A few hours later, when they returned with the magazines, instead of going down to the basement they decided to go and sit on the Forman's porch for some girl talk. Donna had Jackie's ring and was examining it closely. "Hey its engraved."

"Wait, what does it say? She grabbed the ring impatiently and screwed up her face as she tried to make out the tiny writing inside the ring.

"Oh, give it here." Donna took the ring back, "Maybe you need glasses."

"I do not! Its just that the ring is so delicate and petite…"

"Yeah, yeah…" She read the inscription out loud,"My tiny dancer - Always. Wow…"

"Oh Steven!"

"That's really sweet, and kinda freaky… for Hyde."

"Aww, that's our song!" Jackie took the ring and put it back on her finger, admiring it as she did so.

"It's reallybeautiful Jackie."

"Yeah, I know!. Steven has good taste, that's why he chose me!" Jackie said grinning, still staring at the ring on her finger.

Donna smiled to herself, "You know Jackie, this could have been me, this could have been my pretty pink ring!" She said seriously, struggling not to laugh. "If only I'd have chosen him instead of Eric all those years ago..."

"Oh… you take that back you- you… big-red-giant-lumberjack!"

"Jackie!"

"Well, I'm sorry Donna, but if you're gonna make comments like that about my Steven, then that's just what you're gonna get!"

"Oh, settle down. I was only kidding…"

"This is not a joking matter Donna!" She pouted.

Donna laughed. "I still can't get over the fact that you proposed." She said quickly changing the subject.

Jackie just smiled, sadly.

"I mean- I thought that you were more the kind of girl who wanted it done more... traditionally. You know, bended knee, roses, candle light… the works!."

"I did, I do," she sighed. "But…"

"But what?"

"I- I didn't think he was ever going to do it, but he was… and I ruined it!" She began to cry.

"Oh, Jackie…" Donna reached over and held her friends hand tenderly.

"I- I'm sorry Donna. I mean, I should be happy, we're getting married anyway and that's all that matters."

"Yeah, and that the two of you really love each other."

"That we do!" She wiped away the tears, "I love him and he loves me, he has me heart and soul. He's the one."

"So how long have you known?"

"Hmm, I don't know really. All I do know is that when I'm with him I feel like a woman. With Michael all I ever felt like was a silly little school girl, chasing a dream that wasn't meant to be. He was my first love, and part of that will stay with me forever, but I'm in love with Steven and I don't want anyone else."

"Wow!" Donna paused, "And you still couldn't choose between him and Kelso!"

"Okay, maybe I was a little confused for awhile… I mean, Steven hurt me, and it took time before I could forgive him. I just couldn't see what it was about this guy that makes me wanna…" She paused, blushing. "I- I mean this scruffy, lazy, poor, never gonna amount to anything… Sexy, sweet, tender, loving guy…" She paused again, this time a broad smile spread across her face. "Oh, and those eyes!"

"What eyes? You never see them, he always has his sunglasses on."

"Not for me he doesn't." Jackie said, smugly.

"Yeah, okay, so his eyes are kinda pretty."

"Pretty? Pretty? Pretty does not describe those eyes, Donna. Those eyes are beautiful! Beautiful blue oceans of…"

"Whoa, Jackie, don't you think you're being a little over dramatic?"

"I don't care. He's all I want and all I need. He's everything." She said going moony eyed. "Oh Steven… My Steven!"

"Oh, god!" Donna sighed and buried her head in her hands.

"I can't get enough of him Donna…"

Suddenly the sliding door opened, making the girls jump. Red came out, "Don't you two have homes to go to?"

"Erm... Yes Mr Forman!" They said in unison and quickly scurried off next door to continue their conversation over there.
