A/N: Hey guys. I'm glad you liked the last chapter. Your reviews are awesome and make me happy. The story is now in the beginning of season 3. I figured it was time for a little drama, so this is what I created. Don't worry it's not going to be too bad, it mainly deals with Hyde's father, because I really didn't like the way the show did it. Enjoy and review please.
Ch. 6
A Bar
Eric, Fez, Hyde, and Kelso enter
Hyde: All right they didn't even check our fake IDs.
Fez: And I wasted a whole day thinking up my fake name.
Hyde: Yeah. Sorry, "Pez." Let's drink.
Eric: So Jackie actually let you out with the boys.
Hyde: (slightly offended) Yeah, but I can be very persuasive.
Kelso is angered by Hyde's statement but says nothing.
Bartender: So boys did school get let out early?
Kelso: Yeah. We're just...
Eric: Kelso, shut up!
Kelso: Uh, I mean, no. No, we're old. We're workers. We're all construction workers. Hey, fellas, did you see that brick today? Whoo!
Bartender: Relax guys. It's "Serve a Minor Night" at the old "Don't Have a Liquor License" Saloon (to Hyde) You look familiar. Do I know you?
Hyde: I should hope so... Dad.
Bud Hyde: Hey! Steven! (he shakes his hand)
Kelso: Wow! So you're Hyde's Dad?
Bud: Well, that's what his mother says. Hahahaha! (to Hyde) Kidding.
Fez: Hello, Mr. Hyde's Dad. I am Pez. I've heard much about you.
Bud: Good things, I hope.
Fez: Well, if running out on your family and becoming a drunk is good, then, yes.
Eric: Okay, guys. Let's... look over here (they all walk off, leaving Hyde with his father)
Bud: Wow! Look at you! You're... bigger... and you got your mom's hair...and her sideburns. So, how long has it been?
Hyde: Eight years, 51 days.
Bud: Wow! (Laughs) Time really flies when you're...
Hyde: Drunk?
Bud: Y-Well. I was gonna say "havin' fun," but...(Laughs) same thing.
Hyde: Yeah, so, uh, how long you been back for?
Bud: Well, let's see. Ah, that must be about a year.
Hyde: A year?
Bud: Yeah! Hey, I was gonna call ya.
Hyde: Oh, you were gonna call me? Oh, man, that makes you, like... I don't know, what, father of the year? I'll see you around, Dad (he leaves)
Eric: Oh, man, Hyde's upset. Better go see how he is.
Kelso: Yep. One more round, we'll go see how he is.
Forman Kitchen the next day
Red, Laurie, Hyde, Kitty and Eric are sitting around the table eating.
Kitty: Well, Steven, honey, you haven't touched your sandwich. You feel okay?
Hyde: Yeah. I'm just not hungry.
Laurie: Oh, Steven. Are you finally tired of freeloading?
Kitty: Can it, Laurie.
Laurie: All I'm saying is Daddy works really hard... and nothing here is cheap.
Eric: Except you.
Laurie: Believe me. I'm not cheap.
Eric: Fine. "Free." Whatever.
Leo: (coming in) Hey, honey, I'm home!
Red: Oh, good. The hippie's here.
Leo: Hyde, man, your dad come by lookin' for you, man. Which is really freaky 'cause I thought this bald dude was your dad.
Hyde: Thanks, Leo (he leaves the table, Leo takes his place)
Kitty: Steven's father is in town?
Laurie: Yeah, right. Like he even knows who his father is.
Red: Eric you wanna explain this?
Eric: She's a bitch. Right. Okay. Uh, yeah. We bumped into Hyde's dad last night. He'd been back in town, like, a year...hadn't even talked to his own son.
Leo: Cool. Egg salad.
Kitty: Well, I'm gonna talk to Steven...and see how he's feeling about this.
Eric: You know what, Mom? I wouldn't do that. Hyde likes to bottle those things up.
Red: Good for him. That's where those feelings should be kept.
Kitty: Well, what is he gonna do? Pretend he doesn't have a father?
Red: Kitty, this is a family issue, and, for once, it's not about our family. Look, the bond between a father and a son...is complex and subtle (to Eric) You wipe that damn smirk off your face!
Kitty: Red, when we took that boy into our home... it became our job to see him through thick and thin...and now it's thick... or thin... I don't know, but he needs us.
Leo: Cool egg salad, man.
Red: Fine. Stick your nose in where it doesn't belong. Go ahead.
Kitty: Okay. Will do. Bud's coming over for drinks tonight.
Eric: Uh, Mom, do you really want to invite an alcoholic over for cocktails?
Kitty: Oh, right. Okay, well, I'll just, um... I'll make him a nice Shirley Temple... and he can fill up on cheese.
The Basement
Jackie, Kelso, Eric, Donna, Eric, and Fez are all in the basement. Jackie is sitting on Hyde's lap. Hyde is being Zen. No one is saying anything, they are just watching TV. Kitty comes down the stairs.
Kitty: Steven I invited you're father over for dinner tonight.
Hyde: (standing up quickly making Jackie fall) What? Mrs. Forman no.
Jackie: Steven.
Hyde: (he looks down and helps her up) Sorry babe.
Kitty: It's a good thing, I think.
Hyde: I've got nothing to say to him.
Kitty: Well, he is still coming to dinner.
Kitty exits.
Hyde: Damn it!
Hyde stalks into his bedroom, leaving everyone else in silence.
Donna: Hyde's dad is back? Why didn't you guys tell me?
Jackie: (more to herself) Why didn't Steven tell me?
Kelso: (accusingly) Maybe if you two would stop doing it like rabbits he would have.
Jackie looked hurt and really pissed off.
Donna: Kelso!
Jackie marched right up to Kelso and slapped him.
Jackie: Do not EVER say anything like that to me EVER again Michael Kelso. You need to deal with the fact that I am with Hyde now and not you.
Kelso: Jackie, I'm sorry I didn't mean-
Jackie: Save it. Get out of here. Now.
Kelso: What?
Jackie: I'm going to talk to my boyfriend and I'd rather no one be here to hear it.
Eric: (slightly scared) Yeah, let's go everybody.
The gang exits except for Jackie. She takes a deep breath and goes to Hyde's room.
Jackie: Steven, it's me. Let me in please.
Hyde didn't say anything but opened the door for her. She sat down on the bed with him.
Jackie: Steven, why didn't you tell me your dad was in town?
Hyde: I didn't think it was a big deal.
Jackie: It is and you know it is.
Hyde: I don't want to see him and he obviously doesn't want to see me.
Jackie: Steven.
Hyde: (getting up pacing angrily) He's been here for a year. A fucking year, and he never even thought about seeing me, finding me. Bastard! Fucking prick!
Jackie: Steven. I know you're angry, but don't you think you should tell him that, not me?
Hyde: I guess. Maybe.
Jackie: I'm not telling you to sign up for father-son bowling, but at least talk to him, or yell at him. Get it out of you. You'll feel better.
Hyde: Yeah, I guess you're right.
Jackie: Of course I am. I'm brilliant. I thought you knew that.
Hyde: (smiling) You never show it, how am I supposed to?
Jackie: (insulted, she pinches him) Steven!
Hyde: (smirking) You know I love it when you pinch me… Lower.
Jackie: (smiles and blushes) Steven you are so bad!
Hyde: You wouldn't have it any other way.
Jackie: I really wouldn't. I'll be back in a few hours for dinner.
Hyde: (Zen) That's cool.
Jackie: (Zen) Whatever.
Forman Living Room Later That Night
Red is sitting in his chair, Eric is on the piano bench, Hyde is sitting on the couch with Jackie curled up beside him. The doorbell rings
Hyde: (whispering to Jackie) I don't think I can do this.
Jackie: Yes you can. You're the strongest person I know. I believe in you.
Hyde smiles at her and kisses the top of her head.
Kitty opens the door and ushers Bud inside. Red, Eric, and Hyde all stand up. Jackie stands and holds onto Hyde's arm.
Hyde: Hello Bud.
Bud: Hey Steven. (noticing Jackie on his arm) Who is this pretty little thing?
Hyde: This is my girlfriend Jackie.
Jackie: (Zen) Hello.
Kitty: So Bud how is everything?
Bud: (smiling) Oh great. I've been sober for about six months, got a job, an apartment, a color TV.
Hyde: (getting angrier by the second) Color TV wow! I remember growing up I didn't even have a father.
Hyde heads to the door but Jackie gets to it before he does.
Hyde: Jackie get out of my way.
Jackie: No. You need to talk to him. You need to get everything out in the open.
Hyde: No I don't Jackie.
Jackie (determined, but in a lower voice) Steven, if you don't talk to your father I won't have sex with you for the next year.
Hyde has a stunned expression on his face. He quickly turns around and goes up to Bud.
Hyde: (yelling) Hey! You can't ditch me, then walk back into my life eight years later... and expect everything to be okay. You screwed me! You left me with Edna. Edna! And then she left! The Formans took me in. They're my family. See that guy (he puts to Red) THAT guy is my father. I know you're not going to stay around much longer and I've been doing just fine on my own. You wouldn't even have seen me if I hadn't gone into that bar, so don't pretend to care. You could have looked for me but you didn't. You didn't want me in your life, and guess what? I don't want you in my mine. So stay the hell away from me!
Hyde glares at Bud one last time and stalks past Jackie down to the basement.
Bud: Well I deserved that, and he's right. I never intended to reconnect with him. Thanks for inviting me over Kitty.
Bud exits.
Jackie: Mrs. Forman, I know you're probably upset about all of this, but this was for the best. Steven really needed to say those things.
Eric: Jackie's right Mom.
Kitty: I know. I'm happy he thinks of us as his family.
Red: Crap.
The Basement A Few Minutes Later
Jackie is lying with Hyde on his bed.
Jackie: I thought you didn't cuddle?
Hyde: I'll kill you if you tell anyone about this.
Jackie: Steven, I'm proud of you for standing up to your father.
Hyde: (smirking) I had to. You threatened to cut me off. I'm a guy, I wouldn't last a week.
Jackie: No you wouldn't. (seriously) Steven are you ok?
Hyde: I'm better now. Thank you for making me talk to Bud, but I really don't want or need him in my life.
Jackie: I know you don't. I'm just happy you're ok. Parents suck.
Hyde: Yeah. What do you mean?
Jackie: My parents haven't been home for a month.
Hyde: You're all by yourself in that big house?
Jackie: (looking down) Yeah.
Hyde: I'm sorry baby.
He pulls her closer to him.
Jackie: It's ok, (smiling) but if you're serious then you cold always come over. Put me to bed.
Hyde: (smirking) Baby I don't have to go to your house to put you to bed.
Jackie: (smirking) No, but I do have this king sized four poster bed, that is much more comfortable than this.
Hyde smiles like a kid on Christmas.
Hyde: Wanna have a sleepover?
A/N: Yeah Hyde was way OOC in this chapter but I wanted him to yell at Bud. I was never a fan and he forgave him way too easily, besides Bud isn't his father. Anyway leave me a review please. It would make me happy!
