I DO NOT OWN THE FLASHBACKS IN THIS STORY, THEY ARE FROM THE ORIGINAL THAT 70s SHOW ON FOX, AND I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS FROM THE SHOW.

"I found some one new, I'm sorry," Jackie felt tears come to her eyes. She wanted to fly out of the room, so Hyde would not have to see her in another miserable stream of tears. At the same time she wanted to stay to found out more of this new girl that Hyde failed to mention to everybody. She wanted to know why he didn't tell her or anyone, as far as she knew. She wanted to know if he loved her or cared for her more then he cared about that other girl. She had so many questions, but yet again they both let their eyes do the talking, as they said more to each other then their own words.

Jackie's bottom lip trembled, as she forced her self to speak. It took her a moment to think of something to say, she quickly realized that it could have been a bluff. "Oh really? How come you never mentioned this to anyone, huh?" She decided to question his statement, with a powerful stern look on her face. Hyde looked down and sighed, he felt even worse that she was going to make him repeat it. "Jackie, look, I was going to, but then everyone kept talking to me about you and… I just thought that it wasn't the best time… But, now that you know, you all can meet her," Hyde's voice got a little happier at the end, which made Jackie burn even worse inside, knowing that he was happy with someone else. She took that as, 'he does not love me anymore, I guess.' Hyde knew that this made her lose all hope in them, and he knew that he really had no chance with her now. So, he decided that he wasn't going to drop his life on something that wasn't going anywhere. There had been to much tension there for a long time, and it stayed the same all the time. Did not get worse, and did not get better. Jackie suddenly felt very light headed, she let it drop and let her whole body go. She now sat there slouched on the couch, no longer sitting up straight with anticipation. Hyde knew that she had ended the conversation and leaned back into his chair. Looking straight ahead, Jackie was looking down at her hands, they both sat there. Jackie tried to think of anything to cheer her up; nothing could cure her terrible heart ache. After a while, she realized that Hyde didn't really do anything wrong. They were over with, and, after all, she went out with Fez. She finally decided that she wasn't being very fair to Hyde, and stood up straight again. Hyde, quickly, looked over at her waiting for what she had to say. "You know what, Steven; I can't wait to meet your new girl. Yeah, I know that you want to move on, and I hope that she makes you happy," Jackie said confidently and cheerfully. Hyde got a little smile across his face. "Wow, thanks Jackie. Um, I will bring her over to The Hub when we are all there. So are we cool?" Hyde's eyes followed Jackie as she got up, getting ready to go. He decided to get up for a hug. "Of course, lets just pretend that this never happened," Jackie put her arms out to hug Hyde and they both went into a passionate embrace. As Jackie was over Hyde's shoulder, she quickly got a worried look on her face. She wondered if she could handle all this, if she would end up crying her eyes out later… 'Probably.' She closed her eyes thinking of all the times she had with Steven….

Flashback… voices only… (The actions are only there because I thought I should explain the whole scene.)

First time Hyde admitted he loved Jackie…. "Jackie… I love you…." He stood there looking at her, she looked up at him with a stern, angry look.

When Hyde shaved off his beard for Jackie…. Hyde came into the basement, everyone looked up at him. Jackie had a shocked look on her face, "Steven you shaved your beard!" "I thought it would cheer you up," "Oh my god. You let the razor say the words your mouth couldn't speak!"

"You know what your problem is! You're real cute, so no one ever told you to shut your pie hole!" "You… you think I'm cute?" "Shut your pie hole!"

Jackie came back from her memories and started to cry over Hyde's shoulder. He could feel the moist tears through his shirt, but oddly that made him feel more secure inside, to feel Jackie's tears was the only the he had of hers. He hugged her even tighter and they both stood there, just hugging tighter and tighter, each one lost in their memories of each other. They didn't ever want that moment to end. Hyde could only think of one thing, that some one had pointed out to him a while ago, but he just couldn't admit it at that moment. He finally realized that they were right. The voice played over and over in his head, "Before Jackie, you were just this pissed off guy in my basement, but with her, you were happy." He closed his eyes, getting deep in the moment that seemed like time had frozen.

Donna, Fez, and Eric sat in Fez's apartment. Eric was at the bar stool, Donna was on the couch and Fez was making his way to the couch. "So, Jackie went to go back together with Hyde, they are probably making out by now," Fez sounded annoyed. "Well, I think things are way better this way. Hyde had just been so cranky and quiet lately, like he is in his own little world. Now they can be happy and we can be happy again," Donna jumped in, relieved. "Yeah, things will be happier," Fez agreed, cheering up. "It is weird how our lives are so affected by them. It is getting a little creepy," Eric got big-eyed, Donna and Fez nodded in agreement. "The old days again. Fez is a little pervert, and Jackie and Hyde are constantly fighting and making out. I never thought that I would miss that. But what would our group be with out all this?" Donna started to think about those old times. "We should go celebrate, tonight. Once Jackie comes back and fills us in on all the disturbing details," Fez looked around at everyone for approval. Suddenly, Jackie entered, surprised to see all the people. She looked like she had been crying, and paused with big eyes at them. Everyone is looking up, blankly, at her. "Um, hey." Jackie held in her tears and tried to look normal. "I thought you would be with Hyde," Donna looked curious at Jackie. "Well, it just isn't going to work out that way," Jackie shrugged her shoulders, trying to sound casual. Everyone got very quiet; Jackie looked down and started to walk towards her room. She went in to her room, leaving everyone to sit and wonder what happened. "Okay, that spoiled our plans," Eric pointed out.

The whole gang, except Jackie, was sitting in the basement. Jackie enters, looking very happy. "Hey guys, I thought that we should go to The Hub," she looked cheerfully at everyone. "Hyde, you were going to introduce us to this new girl." She continued, looking at Hyde with glee in her eyes. Everyone, including Hyde, looked very confused at the name she had just said, Hyde. "Um, yeah. You guys can go and I will go bring her over there," he stood up, waiting for everyone to leave. Everyone else just shrugged their shoulders and got up the follow Jackie out of the basement door.

Everyone is sitting at The Hub, waiting to see Hyde walk through the door with a girl. "So, Jackie, you must be really over Hyde, to call him, Hyde," Donna gave Jackie a very confused look. "Donna, obviously, he is over me, so…" Jackie indirectly responded to Donna. "I didn't ask that though," she looked stern at Jackie, determined to get something out of her. "Well, that just kind of slipped out. I guess I am getting used to not having him there anymore." Jackie looked at Donna, annoyed at her constant need to get in other people's business. Donna decided to lay off. Hyde came into The Hub with a tall, good-looking brunette on his arm. "Hey, pretty lady," Kelso quickly came on to the attractive girl. Naturally, Hyde frogged him in the arm. Kelso rubbed his arm, glaring at Hyde. "Hey, I have heard so much about you guys! Um, you are Donna, right?" She said, pointing to Jackie. "And you are Eric?" She pointed to Fez. "You are Jackie?" She pointed to Donna. "You are Fez?" She pointed to Eric. After letting her go on with all the name mix ups, Jackie finally spoke up annoyed. "No, um, I am Jackie. This is Fez, this is Donna, this is Eric, and that is Michael," Jackie gave the girl a dumb look, she couldn't believe that Hyde had gone for another girl still. "Well, sorry," the girl looked annoyed at Jackie, who returned her look with a glare. Donna quickly realized what was happening and tried to distract them, "what's your name?" Donna asked. "Hi, I'm Farrah." She got a big smile across her face. "Like Farrah Fawcett! Alright!" Fez was amazed at the coincidence. "That's why I fell for her!" Hyde said jokingly. Inside, he felt like that was all he liked her for, because he really didn't feel that strong about her as it seemed. "Oh, Hyde, I'm so glad you finally decided to let me meet your friends," Farrah looked at Hyde with a fake smile, and a sarcastic tone. She was really feeling irritated at him. "He talks about you so much, and I have been asking for so long!" She sounded exasperated. Kelso leaned over to whisper in Hyde's ear, "Wow, Hyde. I didn't think with all the drama between you and Jackie that you would wanna go bang some other girl… and then bring her over here to The Hub in front of Jackie! That is more than a burn!" Kelso raised his eyebrows at Hyde's actions. "For your information, I talked to Jackie about this, and she is the one who suggested we all meet her," Hyde quickly corrected Kelso, annoyed at his audacity. Kelso backed off of Hyde, still in shock that he listened to Jackie. He was surprised that she didn't run out of here by the time she saw the other girl. "Hey why don't we all head back to the basement, you wanna come Farrah?" Eric decided, Farrah nodded and everyone got up except for Jackie. "Wait! We barely even know her and she is already invited to the basement!" Jackie yelled out, everyone turned around, confused. "Um, she is Hyde's girlfriend, Jackie," Donna said casually, that word hit Jackie so hard, girlfriend. She suddenly felt insulted that Hyde so easily labeled the girl as his girlfriend so quickly, when he hesitated so much with her in the past. "But, you guys used to be so sensitive of who could come into the basement; I mean they had to know you for years to be officially in the group!" Jackie stood up, pushing the chair into the table very hard. "Well, we're not in high school anymore. We have kind of majored from that now," Eric plainly explained to Jackie. She rolled her eyes and mumbled, "Forget it. Whatever." Everyone obeyed Jackie, not wanting to cause all the drama in front of Farrah.

Fez walked into the apartment where Jackie was sitting, looking very sad, and watching TV. "Oh hey, Miss Attitude. What is up with you today? You are so cranky!" Fez attacked her harshly. Jackie shrugged her shoulders, "I think you were the jerks," she mumbled, just loud enough for Fez to hear. He sat down on the couch, next to her giving her a look like she was crazy. "What are you talking about? The whole time today, all you did was attack Farrah. I mean, you compared everything you had to hers. She talked about her shoes, and you just basically said that they looked like she puked all over them! That was so mean, I will not be surprised if she dumps Hyde," Fez scolded Jackie. "Sorry! I wasn't meaning to be like that, it just hit me. I didn't plan it, I thought I could handle it, but I couldn't, okay?" Jackie confessed, sounding sorry. "Yeah, but I don't think you should be apologizing to me. Maybe Farrah and Hyde, because those shoes looked fabulous!" Jackie chuckled at Fez's words, that was the Fez she knew.

Hyde and Farrah were sitting at The Hub, both laughing and talking with each other. Jackie had walked in, feeling so jealous and remembering that, that used to be her. She walked up to them, standing over them while they are looking up at her. "You guys, I just came here to say, that I am really sorry about how I acted. I was just having an off day, but that was no excuse. I wanna be friends with you, Farrah." She smiled sweetly, Farrah returning the welcoming smile. "So, wait, you are not going to fight with her anymore?" Hyde sounded upset, causing Jackie and Farrah to turn to him in confusion at his tone. He quickly covered it up, "I am just making sure, I know you Jackie," he nodded his head quickly and turned back to the table. "That's great Jackie! We should go to the mall!" Farrah stood up. "But aren't you guys on a date?" Jackie asked. "No we were fixing to leave anyway, you two need to get to know each other," Hyde motioned them to go on. They both smiled and ran off.

Jackie and Farrah were at the mall. "So, how did you and Steven meet?" Jackie started the conversation. "Oh, well it was just a casual day. We met at The Hub one night around New Years. He was like getting real drunk, and I walked over to him. I thought he was cute and all, you know. We got to talking, he started to talk about this girl that he met and how she was now going out with his best friend, before he could tell her how he felt after his wife left him. I didn't really pay attention to his story; I just wanted to get him back to my place. Since he was drunk it was really easy. Yeah, so it was really nothing," Farrah chuckled at the memory. "Wow, that is cool," Jackie said casually, thinking about her vague story, she knew exactly what she was talking about, but was not going to say anything, since Hyde hadn't even mentioned it to her. "Jackie, can I tell you something?" Farrah asked, cautiously. Jackie nodded. "I think I might have to break up with Steven," she had a pitiful look on her face. "Why? You guys looked so happy together?" Jackie tried to find out the reason, with an anxious tone. "We are really not. What you saw was really rare. He never laughs with me or even talks with me. I think that is why he didn't want me to meet his friends, because he didn't want me getting so personal. We basically just make out, and I would barely call us kissing because there is no passion there. It's like he seems so hesitant and disgusted with me!" Farrah began to look very sad. "Oh, that is horrible. I am so sorry; Steven just isn't the guy for you!" Jackie comforted her. They both stood there looking upset. Jackie could not help but feel relieved; she could feel the hope building inside of her again.

"Well, me and Farrah are over," Hyde came into the basement where Jackie and Kelso were. He sounded annoyed. "Oh man, that sucks, so you don't mind if I do it with her?" Kelso asked, looking blankly up at Hyde. Hyde frogged him, then looked at Jackie suspiciously. "What did you tell her at the mall?" He became angry; he knew that Jackie would be the one to talk her into dumping him. "I didn't say anything!" Jackie suddenly became insulted. "Whatever. I should have known that 'let's be friends' crap was an act. God, you really are a bitch!" He shouted at her. Jackie's mouthed dropped and she stood up from the couch to come face to face with Hyde. Kelso just sat there on the couch, looking up at Jackie and Hyde's stare down in shock. "Why would I wanna screw up your relationship?" Jackie tried to defend herself. "Maybe because you were jealous," Kelso jumped in, not realizing what he just said. Jackie shot him a threatening look, Kelso jumped up and walked out of the basement. She turned back to Hyde with the same look. "Yeah, you just couldn't see me move on! You want me to be miserable just like you!" Hyde got angrier. Jackie felt so hurt, that the least feeling of hope she had before was completely shattered. She now knew for sure that Steven and her were over forever, and that brought so many tears then she ever had before. She ran out of the basement as she felt the first tear at her eye. Hyde finally sat down in his chair. He knew that he needed Jackie to get over him so he could get over her, but he didn't want it to come to this. He pushed her away because he knew if they got involved again, they would just end up breaking each other's heart over and over. He was so afraid; he had no faith in himself. Farrah was the only excuse he had to stay away from Jackie, with out her he knew that he would have to speak the truth of how he felt. He thought that one day; Jackie would realize what he was doing and forgive him. Right then, he felt like the worse man alive. He wanted so bad to run after Jackie, he wanted so bad to be with her. He reminded himself of his own words, 'what's convenient isn't always what's best.'

Jackie was at a bar, drinking a beer, already completely wasted. She figured that if it worked for Hyde then it must work for her when she is hurt.

An hour later she is dancing on the table at the bar, with a ton of guys around her. She is completely drunk to the limit. All the guys are shouting at her and checking her out. She gets down and takes a few shots and starts to pick random guys and kissing them. Everyone is cheering at her. She sees this guy and starts to come on to him, "Hi there hottie!" Jackie wobbles over to him, and he starts to smile and respond back. When a voice came from behind Jackie, "what the hell!" It was Donna; she had noticed Jackie in here through the window. Jackie turned around with a big smile across her face, "Donna! So good of you to join me! Welcome!" Jackie grabbed on to Donna, barely able to stand. "Jackie, this isn't like you at all!" Donna looked completely shocked, trying to make Jackie stand up. "Oh, lighten up!" Jackie commanded her, she turned around to look at all the other people, "she is such a square!" Jackie yelled to them, they all laughed. "Jackie, I don't want you to do something stupid. You know like Hyde does when he gets heart broken and drunk." Donna was trying to stop Jackie from getting away. She wasn't paying much attention to her and was looking back at the guy she met, giving him a flirtatious smile. "Jackie! Come on! You are completely drunk! Give me that drink!" Donna grabbed the drink out of Jackie's hand and slammed it on the table. She took Jackie over her shoulder and dragged her out of there. A little while later, Jackie was passed out in Donna's car. Donna sat there for a moment in the driver's seat.

The two girls both awoke in Donna's car. Jackie had a major head ache and felt terrible, and did not look much better. Her hair was a mess and her makeup was completely smeared. Donna awoke, relieved to find Jackie awake. "Hey," she said quietly. She knew why Jackie had gone out last night, Hyde had usually gone out because of Jackie, she had only figured that this had rubbed off on Jackie. "Donna, what am I doing here? The last thing I knew I was at the bar," Jackie looked around confused. "You were acting completely crazy," Donna started to explain what happened. "Oh Donna! Steven is such a jerk! He ruined everything! It wasn't supposed to be this way. He ruined my picture! I imagined the way it used to be, you know, you and Eric on the couch, in the basement, with Eric's arm around you. Fez in the lawn chair, Michael standing up eating a popsicle, and me in Hyde's lap in his chair. I know it is really weird, that just describes how it used to be. I wanted it to be that way forever, I really loved that." Jackie spilled out, starting to remember the previous day. She leaned over to cry on Donna's shoulder. Donna patted her on the back in sympathy. "I know Jackie; it is the same way for me. But we are not in high school anymore, it is time to move on," Donna couldn't bare to listen to her own, truthful words. Things had changed, and it was really sad. "I wish every one would stop saying that," Jackie whispered, still on Donna's shoulder. Suddenly Jackie felt a wave of nausea come up, and she whipped back then threw herself forward, puking all over the floor board. Donna nodded her head, knowing that it was only a matter of time till that happened.

AN: I am not done with the story yet! So don't get frustrated about Hyde and Jackie! This is all about their journey together, events in between.
