Friday August 5th 1980
Jackie was spending the day at the saloon getting a few last-minute things done. Donna decided to accompany her to keep her mind off the next day. Jackie had been feeling queasy all day. She chalked it up to nerves but she still wasn't sure if that was the case.
Hyde spent the day with the guys toking up in the basement. It was the only thing keeping him calm. Well, it kept him calm most of the day. Around 5 pm that night he started having panic attacks.
"You guys… you guys I'm getting married tomorrow." Hyde said in the circle.
"We know man!" Kelso said a bit annoyed.
"Yep you're going to have a ball and chain rapped around your neck after tomorrow. An extremely annoying ball and chain." Eric said with a chuckle.
"An extremely loud ball and chain." Randy said playing off Eric's words.
"You two are mean!" Fez said looking at Eric and Randy. "Hyde is marrying a goddess tomorrow and we should all be so lucky!"
"Yea, yea. Thanks, Fez." Hyde said starting to calm down.
"Yea a really bitchy goddess!" Kelso said playing with some new toy. "At least she's hot though."
Eric saw Hyde's face and decided to stop messing with him. "Look, Hyde you're marrying the girl that makes you feel a little less pissed off at the world."
"Yea man and who wants more than that?" Randy replied sarcastically.
"You guys! Hyde loves Jackie. They are happy together." Fez said popping some candy into his mouth.
"Yea I'm marrying the girl that makes me a little less pissed off." Hyde said finally getting back on level.
"Hey Hyde! I did it with your future wife!" Kelso said with the biggest smile on his face. "Oww" Kelso yelled out after Hyde frogged him hard.
"No more of that after tomorrow!" Hyde said in a threatening tone.
"Damn Hyde just trying to get all the burns in before tomorrow." Kelso replied rubbing his shoulder.
That night Hyde had decided to spend the night in the basement and Jackie in their apartment. Jackie was tossing and turning she couldn't sleep. She got out of bed and wrapped a robe around her. She grabbed her car keys and headed out the door. She ended up at the Foreman's. She climbed down the basement stairs and found Hyde on his old cot in the back room.
She tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey." He said with sleepy eyes. "What are you doing here? I thought you said it was bad luck to see the bride before the wedding?"
"Steven, I couldn't sleep. You weren't there and I just couldn't get myself to sleep and I am not going to have huge bags under my eyes on my wedding day."
Hyde just sat there staring at her. "Can I just sleep here with you tonight? I'll sneak out in the morning and I won't see you all day tomorrow until I walk down the aisle." She said.
He didn't say a word. Just lifted the blankets and moved over to make room. She slid in beside him and cuddle up next to him.
That night they both dreamed of all the good things they had gone through together to get them to where they were now.
