Point Place- June 15, 1983 9:37 PM
Forman Basement
Hyde is sitting in his chair with Jackie in his lap. Eric, Donna, and Kelso are sitting on the couch.
Eric: So Hyde, tomorrow's the big day.
Hyde: Yep.
Kelso: Have you really thought this through? Are you sure you want to do this? I mean it's Jackie!
Jackie: (insulted) Hey! Sitting right here you know!
Hyde: (Zen) I'm sure.
Eric: Alright.
Donna: I think it's sweet. I was wondering if you two were ever going to do anything.
Jackie: Donna! I have been doing plenty. I went to college, and then I got a job. A good job! Steven is a very successful businessman, everything is perfect.
Donna: Fine. (to Hyde) Just make sure you show up to this.
Eric: That was one time Donna! I showed up to the second one.
Donna: (smiling) That's true.
Kelso: Yeah not showing up to the wedding was a good burn Forman.
Eric: That was a long time ago! Can we talk about something else? Hyde how's the Grooves in Chicago doing?
Hyde: I'm making my dad lots of money so he's happy. He gave me ownership of the Grooves here and in Chicago.
Donna: That's great Hyde.
Hyde: Whatever. Has anybody seen Fez?
Eric: I talked to him last night and he said that he would be here around ten tonight, and he had a big surprise for us.
Kelso: What kind of surprise?
Eric: I think he's bringing his girlfriend, I think he wants to marry her.
Jackie: Wow, Fez getting married. That's kind of weird.
Everyone looks at her.
Jackie: Ok, getting married other than to just stay in the country.
Everyone nods their head in understanding.
Kelso: Yeah, don't forget the reason they got married was because Laurie was really drunk, and they got divorced as soon as Fez got his green card.
Eric: A little touchy on the subject of Laurie, Kelso?
Kelso: No.
A noise is heard from the top of the stairs. A very pregnant Laurie is slowly walking down them.
Kelso: Baby, what are you doing?
Laurie: I was wondering when you were going to come back upstairs, I can't get Michael Jr. to bed.
Kelso: Ok, I'll be there in a minute.
Laurie smiles and goes back upstairs.
Hyde: Kelso, man there's this thing called birth control. You might want to use it before you end up with twenty kids.
Kelso: Haha, Hyde. You know this is only our second baby.
Laurie: (from upstairs) Michael!
Kelso: I gotta go.
Kelso runs up the stairs.
Hyde: Dumbest babies ever.
Everyone nods their heads.
Jackie: So Donna when are you going to have a baby?
Eric laughs nervously.
Donna: In a few more years. We've only been married a year.
Eric: Oh thank God.
Hyde: Nervous Forman?
Eric: Of course not.
Kelso comes back down the stairs.
Kelso: I told Laurie if she just gives him his teddy bear he goes right to sleep.
Eric: I can't believe that you're a father, and my sister's a mother.
Kelso: (grinning) Yeah, I married your sister and knocked her up. Twice! Burn!
Hyde: Triple burn, nice.
Kelso: Yeah, Hyde I did it with your wife!
Hyde: She isn't my wife until tomorrow.
Jackie: Hey Michael?
Kelso: Yeah?
Jackie: You were really bad in bed.
Kelso: Uh!
Eric: Burn!
Kelso: Where the hell is Fez?
At that comment Fez walks in the basement door.
Fez: Hi.
Kelso: Fez!
Kelso jumps up and gives Fez a big hug.
Kelso: I missed you little buddy.
Fez: I missed you too.
Fez goes over and gives Eric, Donna, and Jackie a hug. He goes to hug Hyde, but Hyde stops him and shakes his hand.
Jackie: So Fez how's California?
Fez: Oh it is wonderful. The people are wonderful and with my job at the salon I have met many stars, and I just bought a big house.
Donna: That's great Fez.
Eric: So where's this surprise Fez?
Jackie: Yeah, what is it? Did you bring us presents?
Fez: You will get your present tomorrow.
Hyde: I'm hoping your surprise comes in a brown paper bag.
Fez: Alas it does not. I brought you the person I am going to spend the rest of my life with. The love of my life.
Donna: Oh Fez that's so sweet.
Fez stands up and goes to the door.
Fez: Here is my soul mate.
Fez opens the door to reveal Buddy Morgan.
Eric: Buddy? You're Fez's soul mate?
Buddy: (looking at Fez lovingly) Yeah, and he's mine too.
Fez: Isn't he wonderful?
Eric: How did this happen?
Buddy: We ran into each other randomly in California and had lunch and well here we are.
Buddy leans over and kisses Fez lightly on the lips.
Hyde: Huh.
Everyone looks at him.
Hyde: Hey, I think it's cool. You're happy right Fez?
Fez nods his head.
Hyde: Then that's all that matters. Besides I kind of had some suspicions about this. I mean you were half in love with Kelso the entire time I knew you.
Buddy: Really?
Fez: Slightly, I liked Kelso but mainly because I knew I could never be with him.
Buddy: Oh, but you don't still have feelings for him?
Fez: Of course not. I love you baby.
Fez hugs Buddy and pulls him in for a long kiss.
Eric: Hey, Fez we're still in the room.
Fez stops kissing him and looks around.
Fez: I was the one that liked to watch wasn't I?
Everyone nods their heads.
Hyde: You know what this little reunion needs?
Cut to Circle
Eric: (coughing) I've missed this.
Donna: Oh man, my hands are so big! My wedding ring is like a speck on my giant finger!
Kelso: (laughing) Man being a cop is awesome! Look at my gun.
Buddy: Is anyone else worried about him having a gun?
Fez: We take the bullets out of it when he gets home.
Buddy: Oh. (eating a piece of candy) You were right Fez, M&Ms are so not as good as a Fifth Avenue.
Fez: I know. What is it about the circle that makes everything taste so good?
Hyde: I don't know man. Does anyone else have a feeling of déjà vu?
Jackie has not smoked any of Hyde's stash.
Jackie: Not really, but I'm wondering how you guys would react if you could see yourselves right now.
Everyone laughs and nods their heads.
Hyde: You know there's this-
Jackie: Steven if you finish that sentence I swear tomorrow night you are so not getting any.
Hyde: But it runs on water man.
Jackie: (smirking) What I'm going to do is more amazing than a stupid car.
Hyde: (smiling and grabbing her hand) We'll see you guys at the church tomorrow.
Hyde and Jackie quickly exit the basement.
Eric: They haven't changed at all.
Everyone nods their heads.
Point Place Church June 16, 1983
Hyde, Eric, Kelso, and Fez are all standing around in the sanctuary.
Eric: So here we are.
Hyde: Yep.
Fez: Hyde doesn't being here like contradict everything you believe in?
Hyde: Pretty much, but Jackie wanted to get married in a church, in this church so here we are.
Eric: It doesn't matter, you're both going to hell.
Hyde: Yeah, but it'll be a great party.
Fez: In my homeland we do not believe in hell.
Kelso: Really? Awesome!
Eric: You know Fez you vaguely reference your homeland, where the hell are you from?
Fez: You do not where I am from? You have known me for years and you still do not know? How dare you. Good day!
Eric: But Fez you never…
Fez: (cutting him off) I said good day!
Hyde: (patting Fez on the back) I missed you man.
WB, Red, Kitty and Bob all come up to the guys. WB and Red are wearing suits, Kitty is wearing a nice dress, and Bob is in a tux.
Bob: You all look so handsome in your suits, it seems like just yesterday you were hanging out in Red's basement.
Red: That was yesterday Bob.
Bob: Yeah, but they're older now.
Kitty: (about to cry) I can't believe my little boy is getting married.
She goes over to Hyde and hugs him tightly.
Kitty: I love you so much.
Hyde: Ok that's enough. (Kitty doesn't let go) I love you too.
Kitty: I love you too what?
Hyde: I love you too Mom.
Kitty let's go of Hyde.
WB: Can I talk to you son?
Hyde: Sure.
WB and Hyde walk over to another part of the sanctuary.
WB: Steven, I know I wasn't around for you growing up, and I'll never make up for all that lost time.
Hyde: I forgave you for that a long time ago.
WB: I know son. I was thinking about opening two more Grooves one in New York and one in California. I was wondering if you'd like to run either of those, I would love for you too.
Hyde: Really? Wow, New York there's a lot of fresh music coming out of there. Are you sure you want me to do that?
WB: Of course, your sister is having the time of her life at headquarters, and I trust you.
Hyde: (touched) Wow, thanks. I don't know what to say. I'm going to have to talk to Jackie.
WB: Of course, we can discuss that later on. Are you ready to get married?
Hyde: I think so. I mean we've been together for years, except for that time we broke up because she didn't think I'd ever grow up. Man, that was the worst month ever.
WB: Wait until she's pregnant.
Hyde: I think I'm ready.
WB: You'll be fine, just remember to breathe. (he straightens Hyde's tie) I'm proud of you son.
Hyde: (smiling) Thanks Dad.
WB smiles and the two of them walk back to the group.
Bridal Room the Same Time
Jackie is in her dress, Donna, Laurie, and Angie are dressed in pretty red bridesmaid dresses.
Donna: Ok do you have everything?
Jackie: My dress is new, my garter is blue, my earrings are antiques…Oh my God I don't have something borrowed! Do you have anything I can borrow?
Donna: I've got nothing.
Laurie: You want a baby?
Angie: (going through her bag) Let's see here, wallet. Pick? (looking at them) Didn't think so. Oh here.
She pulls out a silver hair pin with pearls on it.
Angie: This should work.
Angie slides it into Jackie's hair. Jackie looks in the mirror.
Jackie: Oh my God. It's perfect! Thank you so much!
She pulls Angie into a hug.
Angie: Yeah, well we're family.
Jackie looks like she's going to cry.
Jackie: Yeah we are.
Angie: So are you ready to marry my brother?
Jackie: I've been ready for the past six years. Let's do it.
Donna: Alright.
Sanctuary 20 Minutes Later
Hyde is standing at the front of the altar with Pastor Dave. The church is full of people. Red, WB, and Kitty are all sitting in the front row. Leo is sitting at the organ. Pastor Dave looks at Leo and he begins to play. Laurie and Kelso come walking down the aisle, they are followed by Fez and Angie, and finally Eric and Donna. Each person takes their place at the altar. Leo begins to play the wedding march and everyone stands up.
Eric: (whispering to Hyde) Breathe man.
Hyde nods and opens his mouth to respond, but is cut off when he sees Jackie. Jackie is wearing a beautiful strapless white wedding dress, with beading on the bodice, and a short train. Bob is walking her down the aisle. They both are smiling. Hyde stares at Jackie and smiles at her. Bob and Jackie stop as they reach Hyde.
Pastor Dave: Who gives this woman to this man?
Bob: I do.
Bob takes Jackie's hand and puts it in Hyde's. Jackie kisses Bob on the cheek, and he goes and sits down.
Hyde: You look so beautiful.
Jackie: You look really handsome.
Pastor Dave: Dearly beloved we are gathered here today for the union of Jackie Burkhart and Steven Hyde. Does anyone here have cause for these two not to be married speak now or forever hold your peace.
Kelso opens his mouth, but Eric punches him before he can say anything.
Pastor Dave: Very good. The bride and groom have written their own vows so we're going to let them read them.
Jackie: I never thought I'd be standing here today with you. When we first met we hated each other, we were total opposites, I was the rich, popular cheerleader, and you were the poor burnout. We were from completely different worlds, but you were always the one person I would turn to whenever I needed a shoulder to cry on, no matter how much you hated being that shoulder. I think a part of me always loved you, and finally one day I had the nerve to act on those feelings for you, and you didn't reject me or laugh in my face. You accepted me. You are my shoulder to cry on, the rock I lean on, you are my best friend, and my lover, and I promise to love you, always.
Jackie is really emotional by the end of her speech, and Hyde brushes some of her tears away with his thumb.
Hyde: It's true how we didn't like each other when we first met. You were this annoying loud mouthed cheerleader, who I had to put up with because you were dating my friend, but you became my friend also. You would always come to me when he did something stupid, which was quite often. (Kelso lets out an insulted sigh) Then one day you took me out to lunch and bought me some boots and you kissed me and changed my entire world. In the beginning I didn't know how to act. I was this fast moving kid, like lightning, that no one could catch, but you did. You caught me. I promise I'll always be your rock to lean on and your shoulder to cry on. (quietly) I love you Jacks.
Pastor Dave: (chocking back a sob) That was beautiful. Do you have the rings?
Eric gives the rings to Jackie and Hyde.
Pastor Dave: Jackie place the ring on Steven's finger and repeat after me with this ring I thee wed.
Jackie: With this ring I thee wed.
Pastor Dave: Steven place the ring on Jackie's finger and repeat after me with this ring I thee wed.
Hyde: With this ring I thee wed.
Pastor Dave: By the power vested in me I know pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride.
Hyde grabs Jackie and kisses her hard. Everyone claps and cheers. After a minute the couple pulls apart.
Jackie: We're married.
Hyde: Yeah, we are.
Jackie pulls Hyde to her and kisses him again.
Forman Driveway/Backyard Jackie and Hyde's Reception Two Hours Later
Everyone is dancing, drinking, and having a good time. There is a table full of food and a table full of presents.
Jackie: Look Steven, all those presents are for us.
Hyde: Yeah, it's great. Can't we go have our wedding night now?
Jackie: No! I want to have a reception, it took me six years to get you to marry me, I'm going to have a good reception.
Hyde: Whatever.
Hyde walks over to the food table where WB is.
Hyde: Having a good time?
WB: Yeah, but promise me one thing.
Hyde: What's that?
WB: Make some black friends. After four years I'm still the only black guy at this party.
Hyde: (laughing) Sorry Dad, I'll try I promise.
WB: Good. Here this is for you and Jackie.
WB hands Hyde an envelope and Jackie and the rest of the gang gathers around to see what is in it.
Hyde: (opening the envelop) Dad, wow.
Jackie: What is it?
Hyde: A three week tour of Europe.
Jackie: Three weeks in Europe?
She runs over and gives WB a hug.
Jackie: You are the best father in law ever!
Hyde: This is too much.
WB: There's also a three day stay in Amsterdam.
Hyde: Although I've never been one to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Hyde gives WB a hug.
Hyde: Thanks Dad.
Leo: Hey Hyde, now you can really join our group man.
Hyde: Yeah Leo, I'll do that.
Fez: Oh what a beautiful wedding. It's been a great day.
Buddy: Don't you just love weddings?
Eric: Yeah man I can't believe it. I think we're all grown up now.
Kelso: Yeah, hey I have some fireworks in the garage I can shoot off.
Eric: Sounds good Kelso.
Jackie: Steven, can I talk to you for a minute?
Hyde: Sure.
Jackie pulls Steven onto the porch.
Jackie: Steven, I'm pregnant.
Hyde: What? Are you sure?
Jackie: Yeah, I went to a doctor and everything.
Hyde: Oh. Umm, wow.
Jackie: Is that ok?
Hyde: Yeah. I'm kind of surprised it didn't happen sooner.
Jackie: Really?
Hyde: Yeah, huh. (a beat) So now what do you want to do Mrs. Hyde?
Jackie: (smirking) I'm not opposed to doing it.
A/N: Well that's it everybody. The end. I love every one of you that have read, and reviewed this story. What a long strange trip it's been. You guys are the best, please review!
