ENJOY!
Jackie fixed her hair in the mirror, then applied some pink tinted lipgloss. A week after her first meeting with the wierd friends of Micheal Kelso, she was going back to the basement.
At school, Donna had said hello to her, and she made Eric wave too. Fez followed her around and carried books for her. They were ok, for a red-headed lumberjack, a skinny, smartmouthed guy and a foreigner. It made her more popular to sophmores to be talking to juniors, anyways. But the only thing that really bothered her about her new found friends was Steven. Oooh, EXCUSE her, Hyde. She waved at him once and he completely ignored her and kept on talking to some slut! All of her friends made fun of her for the rest of the day, saying things like-"I thought you said Hyde knew you, you were totally lying," and, "Hyde doesn't talk to just anybody, Jackie. You have to either be a slutty hot girl, a stoner or a partier." Who did he think he was? 'Oh, whatever.' Jackie thought and smiled at her appealing reflection. 'He has to get used to me anyways because I just know Micheal will ask me to be his girlfriend.'
"And then I just told her, 'You know whats a funny word? PICKLEWEASEL!' " Micheal Kelso screeched jovially. He never got tired of that. He was laughing with one hand clutching on the waist of the sluttiest of sluts, Pam Macy.
He must have forgotten that Jackie was coming to the basement that day, because his new found glory was dating two girls at once. He stood by the records and watched Fez and Eric, on the couch, and Hyde, in his chair, chuckle at his little joke.
But soon the laughter stopped when the basement door opened.
"MICHEAL!" the teeny tiny brunette squealed in her shrillest voice.
Suddenly she felt so stupid for trying to look so cute-brown leather chunky-heeled boots with her Jordaches tucked in them, a baby pink, lavender and winter white striped cashmere sweater and a scarf and knit cap set in the exact matching pink shade, complete with pom-pom balls on the ends of the scarf and on the top of her hat. Her soft, romantic curls framed her face perfectly under her hat and her diamond earrings made her mismatched eyes sparkle. But right now they were welling up with fat, wet tears.
"Jackie-I..." Kelso started, but then Pam stopped him.
"Who's that Micheal? I thought you said you were getting rid of the sophmore, and asking me to be your girlfriend." Pam placed her hands on her hips. "Meet me outside."
Kelso looked like he was thinking about it for a second, but then PUSHED past Jackie and raced after the blonde.
An hour later the guys still couldnt cheer Jackie up. They were hoping she would leave, but right after she ran and threw herself on the couch, sobbing. Hyde immediately tensed up and retreated to the freezer. Fez and Eric each took a side of her, and she had stopped the waterworks, but refused to smile.
It would have been a lot easier if Donna weren't out shopping with her mom.
"I think I know something that will put a smile on your face."
For the first time since Jackie entered the basement, Hyde tore his eyes away from the TV and spoke. He had a devilish grin painted across his features.
"OH MY GOD, HYDE YOU ARE SO RIGHT! I FEEL SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW! I DON'T NEED MICHEAL!" Jackie, obviously virgin-lunged, screamed. It seemed that the weed affected her ears too, because she was so loud, when she started to talk again Hyde lunged towards her and covered her mouth with both of his hands.
"Jesus Jacks-do you want Forman's parents to hear us? Now talk quieter or leave." He suddenly realized he was much too close to her for his liking and slid back to his seat in the circle. Jackie crossed her thin arms and pouted.
'Damn-she looks really good, but I swear the chick never shuts up. You'd think after losing Kelso she might stop talking for a while. She really is annoying-she's so annoying it almost rules out how hot she is. Almost.' Hyde thought to himself.
"Will you stop looking at me like that? It gives me the creeps." Jackie's face instantly contorted to a hurt look after the scruffy orphan boy said those words.
"Listen, Hyde, I'll make you a deal." Jackie cringed at having to say 'Hyde.' It was just not a flattering name. "I will be quiet and not get mad that you just called me Jack or whatever if you let me call you Steven." She batted her long, dark eyelashes for extra appeal.
"I called you Jacks-not Jack. And under no circumstances are you allowed to call me Ste...that." Hyde growled.
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"NO."
Jackie decided to take a louder approach. At the top of her lungs, Jackie yelled- "PRETTY PLEASE WITH LOWFAT ICECREAM AND SUGAR AND STRAWBERRIES AND HOT FUDGE AND SPRINKLES AND GUMMY BEARS AND-"
This time Eric reached to cover her mouth but she kept on at her extremely high volume, only it was slightly muffled by his bony fingers.
"FINE! Fine-alright? Just stop yelling for Pete's sake. Red is gonna hear you, and I don't want to get kicked out. Ok?"
Jackie didn't understand what he meant by kicked out, but seeing as she now had power over him she scooted closer to him and smiled a sugary-sweet smile.
"See that wasn't so hard Steven. Now, my second request is that you don't ignore me if I wave to you in the hallways. I want you to come up and say 'Hey Jackie, how's it going?' It's very crucial to my reputation. Promise, Steven?"
Hyde rolled his eyes. "Why should I care about YOUR reputation, Burkhardt? I have my own to uphold. One of my rules-Don't be seen in the hallways with snooty, rich, annoying cheerleaders."
Eric and Fez, who had been in an intense conversation about Charlie's Angels, laughed at Hyde's wisecrack. "OOoh, let mea say it. BURRN!" Fez singsonged happily.
Jackie frowned and opened her mouth to start screaming again. "OOH MR FOR-" Hyde grabbed a pillow and stuck it to her mouth. "Whatever, Jacks. I'll do it. Just DON'T YELL!" He removed the pillow from her face.
Jackie smiled.
She had won.
