Chapter 6 - Simply Beautiful.

Later that night, Eric made his way down from his room to the kitchen in search of the thing he desired most- food, he was hungry- very hungry. Mrs Forman had made the mistake of leaving a fresh batch of brownies on the kitchen table, which Eric quickly noticed and grabbed one of the delicious treats consuming it whole.

"That is so gross..." Donna said as she entered the kitchen, closing the sliding door behind her.

"This coming from a woman who devoured my Twinkie."

"Twonky."

"Whatever." He smiled.

"So, have you talked to Hyde? Donna asked.

"Yeah." He said as he shoved a second brownie in his mouth.

"Ugh!" She grimmaced, "Well? What did he say?"

"I can't remember."

"What?"

"Circle."

"Oh." She nodded in understanding.

"But…"

"What?"

"I think he said that he loves her…"

"Aww, of course he does."

"But you can't tell anyone, coz- he'll kill me!"

Donna laughed, "Of course he will."

"Hey, don't you think that Jackie seemed a little... well... down? You know considering she's finally got what she wanted."

"She regrets proposing to Hyde so hastily…"

"So she doesn't really want to marry him?"

"No you dill-hole! Its just- since she found out that he was actually going to propose, she wishes she hadn't acted so rashly."

"Oh…"

If I gave you my love,

I tell you what I'd do

I'd expect a whole lotta love outta you…

At the same time Jackie and Hyde were down in the basement, the light was dim and music played softly, setting the mood. She rested her head on his shoulder as they danced, swaying back and forth in time with the music, their bodies moving as one.

you gotta be good to me

I'm gonna be good to you

there's a whole lotta things you and I

could do…

Jackie pulled back and gazed up at Hyde, "Thank you Steven."

"What for?"

"For just being you. For knowing exactly what I wanted."

"Do you really like it, I mean- its not too small?" He asked as he gestured to the ring on her hand.

"I didn't mean that… besides I already told you I love it. And no its not too small, anything bigger would be too heavy for my dainty fingers…"

He smiled and shook his head.

"You know what makes this ring so special? It came from you, from your heart..." She removed the ring, and squinted at the words inscribed inside it, "My tiny dancer - Always. Its just so beautiful… so perfect. How did you think of it?"

"Well that's what you are..." He said as he spun her around.

"Whoa… Steven! My ring! I-I dropped it!" Jackie shrieked.

"Don't panic, I'll get it." He sighed as he bent down to retrieve the ring from the floor. He began to get up but paused as he looked up at her.

"Steven, are you okay?"

"Yeah, fine." He replied, but still didn't get up. He just stared, She chose me… she wants to be with me… He thought as he continued to stare.

"Steven?"

He didn't answer… he couldn't answer. He saw her everyday, but still couldn't get over just how beautiful she was…

simply beautiful simply beautiful simply

beautiful

simply beautiful simply beautiful simply

Beauti…

"Jackie Burkhart will you marry me?" He breathed deeply, his voice low.

"Steven- no…"

"What?" He screeched in a very un-Hyde like way, jumping to his feet.

"…one could stop me!" She smiled, breaking into laughter.

"God woman, don't do that to me!" He sighed as he pulled her close.

"It was worth it to see you squirm!"

Hyde laughed, "Well- I guess I deserved that."

"Yes, yes you did!"

"I see you're feeling better now." He said as he gently placed the ring back on her finger.

"Much better thank you." She placed a sweet kiss on his lips and slung her arms loosely around his shoulders, "I love you Steven Hyde."

"I love you too, Jackie Burkhart."

"Yeah, I know…"

They gazed into each others eyes as they continued their dance.

and the way you squeeze me
