ONCE AGAIN, I DO NOT OWN THAT 70S SHOW, AND THIS GOES FOR ANY OTHER STORY I WRITE. I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS.

The whole group, excluding Jackie, was sitting in the basement, watching television. It had been a couple of days since they had seen Jackie, but they knew exactly where she was and why. "So, all Jackie does is sit in the dark, in her room and cry," Fez continued to the gang. "Man, the last time she did that, is when she and Michael broke up because of Laurie," Donna pointed out. "Now we have no need to get her back, because Laurie is gone," Hyde tried to calm the rest of them down; he was tired of hearing about Jackie. That just made him feel even guiltier. "Yeah, but this time she isn't feeling as vulnerable! I mean I tried to take advantage of her and she just pushed away," Fez shrugged his shoulders. "It sure is quieter," Kelso indicated, everyone nodded and shrugged. After that everyone sat in an awkward silence.

One hour later… Everyone is still sitting in the awkward silence…

One more hour… Everyone is still in the awkward silence…

"Okay! We really need Jackie!" Eric jumped up, for the others to follow. They all jumped up with him, except for Hyde, and went out the basement door to the apartment. "Whatever, losers! You will regret it when she is back here yapping her big mouth!" Hyde was a little happy, deep down inside, to know that Jackie would be back on her feet again. But he didn't want it to be awkward for him; he knew he would have to just live with it though. At least he had 'Zen' on his side.

"Jackie open up this door! We are hauling your ass out of here!" Donna was banging on the door, trying to get Jackie to answer. She had been refusing to let anyone in. "No, I don't want to face that cruel world and the cruel people in it!" She yelled from inside the room. Everyone knew when she said 'cruel people' she was indicating Hyde. "This is so ridiculous! Jackie please, what can we do to get you out of here!" Fez begged. "The only thing that will get me out is if that stupid Hyde comes down here and apologizes for what he said! I did not tell that girl to break up with him! He is just so full of himself to think that I am so desperate for him! I am completely over him, and he can go to hell!" Jackie protested, still yelling from inside the room. "If you are so over him, then come out of the room!" Donna commanded. Jackie did not say anything; there was just a silence that filled the room. Everyone was waiting for her. Finally, they all just gave up and went over the couch. "There is no way that Hyde is going to come down here and apologize! She must be insane. She is going to be in there forever if she depends on that," Donna plopped herself on the couch in exasperation. "Yeah, well, I don't blame Jackie. Hyde has been extra stubborn lately, and really cranky," Fez scrunched up his face. "I think it's because he is trying to do this to Jackie," Eric figured. "How do we get him down here though?" Donna asked, thinking very hard. "Well, isn't it obvious! We have to trick him!" Kelso yelled out to them. "That would work with you, Kelso, but Hyde is a little smarter than that," Donna quickly crushed his idea. "I say we leave it alone. Jackie always comes back to normal!" Fez said. Everyone nodded, remembering that it was true.

The whole gang sat there, still in the apartment. When, suddenly, they saw a little opening in the door of Jackie's bedroom. Everyone quickly looked up at the door, Jackie slowly came out. Her hair was a complete mess, and she had no makeup on. "I only came out for food," she mumbled. They quickly let their heads down again. Then when Jackie was heading back to the room, Donna jumped over the couch and threw herself in the door way. When Jackie tried to beat Donna to the room, Fez jumped over behind her and grabbed her arms. Jackie was kicking and trying to break free from Fez's trap. "What are you doing! Let me go!" "Quick! Grab the food from her!" Donna commanded Kelso. Kelso obeyed and snatched it out of Jackie's hand. "Jackie, this is for your own good. You will thank us later!" Donna tried to calm Jackie down. "No! I am not going to go anywhere! Not until Steven comes to his senses! For once I want him to give in! I am always the one who comes crawling back!" Fez laid Jackie on the couch. "You don't have to go back to Hyde. He doesn't have to come back to you, just forget about him! You always say you are going to move on then you end up in some kind of stupid depression." Donna corrected Jackie. Jackie was now fully calm, sitting on the couch. "You don't understand! It's too hard! He makes it so hard!" Jackie yelled. "No he doesn't. He doesn't do anything, you make it hard. Look, you need to go for a guy that appreciates you," Donna said very calm to Jackie. "Whatever," she grunted.

Hyde and Donna were at The Hub, talking about Jackie. "Man, she is still upset," Hyde looked very confused; he did not expect Jackie to be so dramatic. "You know her, she is very sensitive. Hyde, I know you are not very big on feelings, but come on! Can you say something to Jackie? I know you are sorry for what happened at the mall!" Donna pointed a finger at Hyde. "Well, whatever. Maybe she didn't mean what she did. But she still could have done it! I guess, I can PRETEND to be sorry, just to get her out of there. I know that all of you are big babies, so I will talk to her to shut all of you up!" Hyde stated.

Hyde came into the apartment, where Jackie was alone, lying on the couch. "Hey," Hyde mumbled. Jackie looked at him, not saying anything. She then looked back and rolled her eyes. "Look, I know you didn't do anything to make Farrah break up with me," He quickly spilled out, wanting to get it over with. "So… sorry," he said it so fast you could barely catch it, but Jackie seemed to get it. She suddenly sat up straight. Her face got stern, "I know you are only saying that just so the others will stop bugging you." Jackie could see right through Hyde's act. Hyde was surprised that she had known that, but he realized that she knew him better then anyone in the world. That made him feel warm for a moment. "Jackie, I am not just saying that. I didn't even care that Farrah broke up with me," Hyde decided to open up to Jackie, no longer afraid of being with her. "Steven, I don't want to hear anymore of your crap! One moment you are all opening up to me and the next, you are pushing me away!" Jackie stood up. "Either you wanna be with be or you don't, we are going to settle this right now. If you don't then we can both forget about it and forget about us. Nothing like this will ever happen again. This is the last chance though," Jackie's words left Hyde speechless. How could one moment change the course of his life, he couldn't bare to think about forgetting about her. At the same time he wondered why the decision seemed so hard. They were both looking into each other's eyes, as Hyde thought. He could not live without Jackie there, but he knew that if they screwed up the next relationship, it would be bigger then any others. Even the last one. They would probably never be able to repair. He knew that he couldn't. Jackie started to lose hope, she started to back away from Hyde and end it for him. She was so scared that he was going to say no about them. She was frozen though; Hyde's eyes had made time stop, once more. They both could not look away. Suddenly, Hyde lunged forward to Jackie, grasping her lips with his. He pushed her back on the couch, and they fell on the couch kissing. Hyde had his hands buried deep inside Jackie's thick, silky hair. She had her hands wrapped around his neck. They started to get harder; the kiss went deeper and deeper. Hyde had slid his hands down along Jackie's back, while she was running her hands through his curly hair. They both lay there, making out intensely.

Fez had walked through the apartment door a little while later. "Jackie I'm home! Are you going to come out of there?" Jackie had come out of the bedroom, with a big greeting smile. Fez had already made his way to the fridge, and looked up to see Jackie's smile. "Wow, look who has had a sudden mood change," Fez smiled back at Jackie. "Well…" Jackie was about to explain to Fez what had happened. "You finally decided to get over Hyde! That is great Jackie!" Fez interrupted her, hopefully. "Why are you so excited?" Jackie had forgotten about telling him about Hyde, she was now focused on Fez's words. Fez had froze at Jackie, realizing the tone in his voice. "Well, I just thought that it would be good for you," he quickly covered up. Fez had really just got a little hope washed over him for a moment, but then he reminded himself, that he was in the process of getting over Jackie, and he didn't want to go down that road again. But he also didn't want to see her with Hyde or any other guy, regardless of what he said. "Really?" Jackie questioned in disbelief. She knew that Fez was a guy who wouldn't get over a girl easy; she wanted to make sure that Fez just gave up. Like Hyde wanted Jackie to give up on him. "Anyway, Fez, I'm sorry, but…" Jackie was about to tell Fez again, but once again she was interrupted. Hyde had come out of the room, surprised to find Fez there. He stopped in his tracks and threw on his Zen mode, "Hey," he sounded cool. "Hey! I thought you were just going over to fake apologize!" Fez came up to Hyde. Jackie looked shocked, "What! You didn't really mean what you said!" Jackie started to get angry, when Hyde quickly came over to her, forgetting that Fez was in the room. "You already knew that anyway. So what is the problem? I am sorry though," Hyde managed to sound stern and sorry at the same time. "Well, I didn't mean it! I really thought you were sorry," Jackie went on, ignoring the sorrow tone in his voice. "Jackie, you are being ridiculous!" Hyde grabbed Jackie's hands, but she pulled them away. "Steven! See this is what I mean! One minute you are all passionate, and the next you are a jerk!" Jackie threw her hands up in the air. "What are you talking about? I am not being a jerk!" Hyde started to get irritated with Jackie. "Well, you are the liar! You said that you were over Hyde, what about all that stuff about him being selfish and uncaring! And yet, here you are getting back together with him again!" Jackie shot Fez a glare. "Yeah see? You said that you were over me, and you are not over me. I said that I wasn't sorry and well…" Hyde tried to prove his point to her. Jackie became frustrated; her own words had been used against her. "Fez, this is none of your business!" She tried to shift the blame over at him. "I think it is! He was the one that had to deal with all your stupid crying and crap," Hyde wasn't going to let Jackie get away. "You told him about that!" Jackie didn't want Hyde to know that she was crying for him. It just made her seem pathetic. "You said the only way for you to get out of there was for him to come down here. We had to tell him what was going on!" Fez explained himself well. "Yeah, Jackie you know that I am stubborn," Hyde calmed down and sat on the couch, now sounding slightly amused. Jackie rolled her eyes, knowing she had been defeated. She was not used to defeat, so she didn't say anything else to further her humiliation. Fez and Hyde sat pleased. Jackie finally decided to end this, sucking up her pride, "Okay, maybe I got a little out of control. But it's not my fault! You know, it is that time of the month!" Jackie tried to cover for herself. Hyde and Fez nodded in disbelief. "So don't you think you have something to say to me?" Hyde asked, not really wanting an apology, but just amusement of watching Jackie try. Jackie rolled her eyes, "Whatever," she looked at Hyde who had a teasing smile on his face. She rolled her eyes once more, "Sorry!" She through her hands up. "So you two are back together?" Fez asked. Jackie looked at Hyde for an answer and Hyde nodded an approval. "Yeah, I guess," he sighed. Jackie pounced over to him, giving him a big hug. "Oh, Steven! That makes me so happy! It has been so long!" She gave him a puppy face. Hyde looked at Fez, indicating for him to leave, and Fez obeyed. Jackie leaned her head on his shoulder and whispered in his ear, "I missed my little puddin' pop," she lifted her eyebrows at him. He looked over at her smiling. "Oh yeah," he said in satisfaction and started to kiss her.
