Saturday May 21st 1980
It had been a few months that everyone was living together. It was easy for everyone. Donna and Eric has really started saving some real money to start College in the fall. Jackie had moved into Hyde's room instead of the spare bedroom. Fez finally came out and was dating Buddy. Which everyone loved the two of them together. Kelso hadn't blown anything or anyone up at the police department. Brooke loved having some more time to herself and loved the help she was getting with Betsy from everyone. Randy was even dating a new girl named Candace but everyone called her Candy for short.
Jackie was out with Candy that day doing some girly shit as Hyde had described. Hyde immediately called everyone over once Jackie had left. The gang all found him smoking a doubie in his living room and pacing back and forth.
"Hyde man put down the joint." Eric said sarcastically tip toing into Hyde's apartment.
"What? What! Nah man this is the only thing helping to calm me down."
"What's wrong?" Donna asked.
"Yea man you look like you are about to throw up!" Kelso said.
"Come on Hyde sit down." Randy said.
They all convened into a circle and started passing the joint around. Hyde's joints were really more like blunts. Huge and able to be passed around large circles a good couple of times.
"So Hyde what's going on?" Brooke asked.
"Well uhhh you guys know that Jackie and I have been living together now for a few months."
"Uhh huh" Eric said sounding confused.
"Oh no! Did you knock her up?" Donna asked.
"Oh boy! A little Hyde or Jackie to play with!" Fez said clapping his hands together with enjoyment.
"Fezzie, why don't we wait to hear what Steven has to say first before we jump to conclusions." Buddy said.
"Man Hyde you knocked up a girl too! Way to join the club." Kelso yelled out with a big goofy smile.
"Don't you guys think we would have noticed if Jackie was pregnant? I mean she's like a certified midget she'd be showing like right away." Randy said.
"Nah you guys! I didn't knock up Jackie. I'm thinking about asking her to marry me." Hyde blurted out and looked shocked that he'd even said it.
They all sat there staring at Hyde not saying a word.
"Is anyone gonna say something?" Hyde asked.
"Are you sure that's what you wanna do man?" Eric asked.
"Yea cause you saw how that worked out with us." Donna said pointing between her and Eric.
"That is just so beautiful!" Fez said tearing up and fanning his face.
"How are you gonna do it?" Buddy asked.
"Wait! Wait! Wait! You're gonna ask Jackie to Marry you?" Said Kelso looking dumbfounded.
"And why wouldn't he ask her?" Brooke said looking at Michael.
"No, no reason." Kelso said in response looking a bit afraid of what Brooke was asking.
"So do you guys think I should do it or not?" Hyde asked looking around the circle.
"Well the fact that you are even asking us should be answer enough." Donna said.
"I don't need a riddle right now Donna, either yes or no?" Hyde said is response.
"Yea man if that's gonna make you happy." Eric said with a smile.
"Yes." Donna said.
"Yes!" Fez practically yelped.
"Yes." Said Buddy.
"I dunno man." Kelso said. Brooke and everyone else stared at him. "What?! I'm sorry I just dunno for sure if they will make it as a married couple."
"Well I say yea man. Marry the loud girl." Randy said. "Candy really likes her and I really like Candy soooo… yea."
"Well I say yes too! Jackie has really matured and I think you guys will definitely make it!" Brooke said eyeing Kelso.
"And you know Kelso's vote doesn't really count." Eric said shrugging his shoulders.
"What?! Why?" Kelso yelled.
"Cause you two dated before." Eric replied.
"So…?"
"So man your vote would be null in void anyway." Eric said.
"We can't avoid this Eric!" Kelso yelled out.
Eric just shook his head and walked away from the group.
It was quiet.
"So… I should ask Jackie to Marry me?" Hyde confirmed.
Everyone except Kelso yelled out, "Yes!"
"Okay so how do I do it?" Hyde asked.
