A/N: I'm still working my ass off for these and I'm still trying to add some depth to them. Thank you SpotlessLadybug and Fez for reviewing. Yeah I keep forgetting the preview. But I'm gonna try something out for this next chapter. What is it? You'll just have to wait until the end of this chapter. There'll be quite a few flashbacks in this story from earlier chapters and when they were younger. Also I need some ideas for names for future chapters. If you have a specific song by the Pumpkins tell me. I'm always open for ideas.

Disclaimer:I do not own the Smashing Pumpkins, That '70s Show, or pretty much anything else. And if I did I'd make this story into a TV show and make the gang move to Madison. I only own my original characters and such. I also forgot to add something to the disclaimer last chapter so I'm going to add it here. I do not own Landslide written by Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac.

Summary: In the wake of Jennifer's attack MJ's birthday just happens to occur and she goes out on a date with a Junior. One thing leads to another with a shocking discovery in Jennifer's past life.

The Hub

Ryan sat down at a table with all the other teens around him making out. "Some Valentines Day this has turned out to be." Ryan muttered. MJ ran into The Hub.

"Oh thank god!" she exclaimed. "You're here! I thought you forgot about my birthday tomorrow!"

"How the fuck do you care about a birthday more then a persons life?" Ryan asked.

"What are you talking about?" MJ asked. "I have no idea what you're saying."

"God you're all the same." Ryan said. "None of you care what happened to Jennifer last night." He got up. "I'm out of here so leave me alone."

"BUT WHAT ABOUT MY BIRTHDAY?" MJ yelled. Ryan gave her the finger and left. "That bastard!"

Jennifer Burkhart's Bedroom

Jennifer paced back and forth thinking about here thoughts about Ryan. Sure he was nice and all but he was her best friend. And he'd find her weird if she told her how she felt about him. "Do I tell him or do I not?" she muttered. Stephanie dropped down into her room.

"Why are we so nervous today?" she asked Jen. "Are you keeping something from our group?"

"Shut up Steph." Jennifer said. "Do you have to be such a fat ass bitch all the time? I swear. You're worse then Ms. Whiting."

"STOP CALLING ME FAT!" she yelled.

"Well you are pretty damn huge." Jennifer said. It was true. She did weigh a lot for her age. She weighed more then some guys.

"So?" she asked. "Justin loves the way I look. He's says I'm super thin."

"Yeah well if he told you the truth you'd sit on him." Jennifer giggled.

"Why I never!" Stephanie exclaimed. "You bitch!'' Stephanie slapped Jennifer on her cheek.

"You bitch!" she replied. She tried to pull her down but Stephanie didn't budge. "Oh just fall already bitch. All you have to do is sit on me and then you win. It's like it has always been."

"I'm too mature now." Stephanie said.

"Steph." Jennifer said. "You're saying you're 12 and mature? God you haven't even had your period yet!"

"I'm a late bloomer!" she yelled back. "And don't even try to make Ryan fall for you!"

"God you're a dumbass." Jennifer said. She grabbed a box off of her dresser and crawled out her bedroom window with Stephanie struggling behind. "Oh give me a break! This isn't friggin gym class Steph!" She helped Stephanie out the window and they walked across the street to the Forman house. She entered the basement. "Hey Ryan."

"Hey Jen." Ryan said. "Hey Steph."

"Hey Ryan." Stephanie purred.

"Ok?" Ryan said. "What's up with her?"

"No idea." Jennifer said. "Just being a dumbass. She bitch slapped me a few minutes ago. No idea why."

"Hello!" Stephanie yelled. "I can hear you!"

"Nobody gives a damn." Jennifer said.

Several hours later Ryan thought everyone had left so he headed up to his room. He pulled his shirt off and turned his head.

"Hello Ryan." Stephanie purred. She walked over to him and started to kiss his chest.

"Stephanie." Ryan said. "Knock it off." She pushed him down onto the bed with her long red hair in his face.

"No." she said. She got up and closed his door. "That crappy video I got you wasn't your real present." She unbuttoned her shirt and she pulled her arms around her back and unhooked her bra. "This is." She spread her legs over Ryan's chest as she sat on him. She ran one of her fingers over his chest. Her bloated stomach hung over his. She slid down and lay on him. "You know. Ever since I first met you I fell in love with you." She started to kiss him up and down his neck.

"Get off of me!'' Ryan exclaimed. He pushed her off and there was a thud.

"Fine." Stephanie said. "If that's the way you want it that's the way it'll be." She blew him a kiss. "I'll be waiting for you my love." She put her shirt back on and left the room.

"Damn." Ryan said. "She turned me on good."

The Water Tower

Ryan sat atop the water tower. He had just recalled the memory. "To think." he muttered. "I still have feelings for her." He looked up at the faded pot leaf. "Is that giving me the finger?" Stephanie sat down next to him. "Hey Steph."

"Hey Ryan." she replied. "Horrible what happened to her isn't it?"

"Yeah it is." Ryan said. "Listen Steph. Remember two years ago on my birthday?"

"How I came onto you and pinned you on your bed and you shoved me off?" she asked. "Yeah. I still feel the same way now I felt then." She put her arms around herself as a cold breeze lofted through the air. Even though it was extremely hot yesterday it had almost frozen overnight. He smiled at her. "What?"

"There's something I need to tell you." Ryan said. He pulled Stephanie closer so they were pressed up against each other and he kissed her. She pulled out quickly and looked shocked at him.

"Ryan. Are you ok?" Stephanie asked. He nodded.

"The fact is over the years my feelings have changed." Ryan said. "And the fact is. I love you." He had whispered this last part into her ear. Stephanie giggled and her curves jiggled behind her coat.

"I love the feeling of your warm breath on my ear Ryan." Stephanie whispered into his ear. "And I love you too." She hugged him tightly. "Why do you love me Ryan?" He looked her in her eyes beautiful blue eyes. He couldn't stop staring at them.

"The way you act," he said into her ear. "Your additude, your beauty, everything. I'm in love with you Stephanie. But the fact that I'm dating Jen and you're dating, or at least what sounds like dating, Tyler means that we can't be together. And if we broke up we couldn't rush into a relationship. We'd have to let it be gradual. Let it come in a month or so." She giggle.

"Well we could keep it our dirty little secret." she purred. She ran one of her fingers down his chest. She nibbled on his ear lobe a bit and kissed his neck. Ryan smiled at her and she pushed the hair out of his eyes.

"We can't do that now Stephanie." Ryan said. "It's too early in the day and our relationship. Not to mention that we'd need a place where no one could ever find us." She kissed him passionately with tongue.

"I know where." Stephanie purred.

"Tell me later." Ryan said. "I think it's time we check up on Jennifer." She nodded in agreement. "Well at least you care about how she's doing. Justin and Tyler only cared about the backstage passes to the Smashing Pumpkins and MJ is being a bitch and only thinking about her birthday." The two walked to the hospital beside one another. Stephanie's hair blew in the wind and Ryan watched her. "God I need to pull her into a bathroom somewhere." he thought. No. He couldn't. Jennifer and him were still together. They walked through the hospital and into her room. They entered the room and shut the door behind them.

"Jennifer?" Stephanie cooed.

"You awake Jen?" Ryan asked.

Jennifer looked at Ryan. It was Halloween and he wasn't even in a costume. She looked at her friend Stephanie Kelso who was oddly going as Supergirl. "Do you guys like my costume?" Stephanie asked.

"Whatever." Ryan and Jennifer replied. Justin Hyde and Christian walked into the room.

"I am ready!" Christan exclaimed. He was wearing a Batman costume and had a jack-o-lantern pail in his hands while Justin stood there in a hockey jersey. He looked at Ryan and Jennifer.

"Where are your costumes man?" he asked.

"I'm not dressing up this year." Ryan said. "I don't find going as some kid dressed up that cool anymore."

"Yeah." Jennifer said. "Not cool and stuff." Ryan looked at her oddly. "What?"

"Never mind." Justin said. "I'm sorryI even asked the stupid question."

Jennifer Burkhart's Hospital Bedside

Ryan and Stephanie stood by the bed when Jennifer finally opened her eyes. "R-R-Ryan?" she said.

"In the flesh." he said. "Thank god you're alive." He hugged Jennifer and then looked her in the eyes.

"So we won the tickets is what I heard." Jennifer laughed weakly.

"Yeah." Ryan said. "And D'Arcy showed up."

"She did?" Jennifer asked. "Damn. I missed her."

"She left something I see." Ryan said. He pointed over to the corner. It was a bass signed by her. Not only did it read her name but also "Get well soon and find the bastard who tried to kill you." Jennifer laughed at it.

"She always did have a good sense of humor." she said. "So when can I get out of this friggin bed?"

"Whenever you feel like you want to leave." a nurse out in the hall said.

"Let's go now." Jennifer said. She smiled at him and got up from the bed.

"Jennifer just wait." Ryan said. "I need to tell you something."

"Oh shit. Is he gonna tell her what I did?" Stephanie thought.

"I think we need to spend some time just as friends and not as a couple." Ryan said. "It's my fault that you're getting hurt. And with us not dating you'll be safer. I don't know how long but it'll just have to happen."

"Phew." Stephanie thought.

"Ok." Jennifer said. "If it's for the good of the cause maybe we should see other people while we're at it."

"Ok." Ryan said. "If that's how you want it that's how it will be." He looked into her eyes. "Just remember. I will always love you." A tear came down Jennifer's eye.

"I will always love you too Ryan." she whispered into his ear. He kissed her one last time and hugged her.

Forman Living Room

MJ had forced everyone to wear those stupid party hats. Even Mr. Bonkers J. Pinciotti the third was wearing one. "This is gay." Ryan said.

"Agreed." Stephanie said. "I can't wait for this dumb thing to be over."

"Oh yeah." Justin added.

''Can we just hurry up MJ?" Ryan asked.

"Just lay off it." MJ said. "I want to get out of here as soon as possible. I have a date tonight." The room burst into laughter.

"Jesus that is funny." Christian said.

"So who's the date with?" Tyler asked. "Santa Claus?" The room continued to laugh.

"Shut up!" she yelled.

"Whatever." they all said in unison. After many hours the house had been deserted and the only two who were in the house were Ryan and Stephanie, or so they thought. They could hear moans from MJ's room and wails of pain. "What the fuck?" Ryan said. They were sitting on the couch making out.

"It's just the wind." Stephanie said seductively. "Just stay here and have some fun."

"Just come on." Ryan said. "Someone may be sick."

"Fine." Stephanie said. "But I'm not putting my shirt back on." She put her bra back on and the two started up the stairs. Stephanie walked close with her breasts against his back.

"Man that feels good." Ryan said. Her breasts were warm and jiggly.

"What I was built for." Stephanie said. "To make the opposite sex feel good." She giggled and they stood outside MJ's bedroom door. Her scream was muffled. Ryan burst into the room to find MJ tied down onto the bed with bruises all over her body. All she was wearing were her underpants and her bra. Her date was standing by the bed.

"You bastard." Ryan said. He lunged at him and knocked him over. "You fucking bastard." Ryan kicked him in the groin. The boy groaned in pain. "Get the fuck out of here." Her date got up and ran out the room. Ryan untied the ropes and slipped the towel off.

"Oh thank god." MJ said. "Thank you Ryan."

"No prob little sis." Ryan said. "So how far did he go?" MJ gulped.

"All the way." she sobbed. "I lost my virginity on my birthday to some guy who doesn't even love me."

"Yeah well he can go to jail for that MJ." Ryan said. "Just don't let Kitty find out."

"Why shouldn't Grandma know?" MJ asked.

"Then you'll have to live with them again." Ryan said. MJ shuddered.

Jennifer Burkhart's Bed

Jennifer tossed and turned in her sleep. She dreamed about Ryan. Why did she agree with him? Yeah well so far she hadn't been hurt but it had been less then 24 hours since she was attacked. Fast recovery. She opened her eyes up and reached over to a photo album by the side of her bed. She turned her lamp on and opened the album. She relived all the good times with him. She still could have good times with him but not in the same way. She laughed a little at a picture of her on his back at that football game just last fall against Green Bay High.

Point Place High School Football Stadium

The crowd sat on the edge pf their seats and the ball was snapped. The quarterback for Green Bay yelled out hike and the ball was snapped. Stephanie sat on Tyler's lap and Jennifer held on tightly to Ryan's arm. Christian who was preparing to make the entire town remember him stood in the end zone. Justin sat on the bench as a fourth string fullback and MJ was in the bathroom. MJ ran out and sat next to Jennifer. A linebacker for Point Place ran around the offensive line. They had blitzed. He jumped at the Sophomore quarterback. What was thought to be a sack resulted in a fumble. The crowd roared and stood up and their feet Tyler wearing a Viking hat. One of the safeties scooped up the ball and ran it into the end zone. Christan threw his trench coat off and started to streak across the field. He had the words "Viking Pride" on his back. A few of the police attempted to catch him but he dogged them. The Point Place High fans stormed the field and tore down the goalposts. It was the final game of the season and they had made the playoffs. Jennifer jumped on Ryan's back and MJ took the picture of the two. Ryan fell onto the ground and he turned so he was laying on his back and kissed Jennifer deeply and passionately.

A flash of memory came in front of Jennifer's eyes. She finally knew who her father was. "How can it be him?" she asked. "I don't even look like him." She shook her head and buried her face in her arms. Tears dripped down her face and she thought about it. "His brother was Justin Hyde." She forgot about Jimmy and Gwen. She barely knew the two. Hyde had abandoned her when she was only a baby. "That bastard." She cried as she saw the truth. Hyde had been cheating on Jackie. Did she know? Who knows. Jackie didn't know a lot of things. Like who the Smashing Pumpkins are. She shook her head and slammed her fist down on the table. "Why the fuck is she dating him even after what happened?"

Ryan Forman's Bedroom

Stephanie Kelso's breasts and stomach lay against Ryan Forman's back. She was wearing a bra and she was itching to take it off. They had fallen in love with each other. She turned Ryan onto his back and lay on top of him and stared to kiss him. Ryan got hard down in the pants area as his "special part" jetted out against her "pleasure point". He sneaked his tongue into her mouth as they kissed. She pulled out after a few minutes. "I need you Ryan." she moaned. "I need to get into you."

"Not now Steph." Ryan whispered into her ear. "It's still too early. And my family will hear us."

"My place is empty." she said sexily as she put more of her weight onto Ryan's body. She spread her leg out and wrapped them around his waist.

"Yeah well Tyler will think somethings up when he gets back." Ryan said.

"Fine." Stephanie said. "If we could drive we could go up to my uncles cabin which no one ever uses."

"I think I know someone who could give us a ride." Ryan said.

"Who?" Stephanie asked. She shifted all of her weight up as she jumped up slightly and then came crashing back down on Ryan.

"Ow." Ryan said. "Your sister Meg." He pulled her closer and more of her weight shifted onto him.

"For what reason would Meg give us a ride?" Stephanie asked. "She'd think something was up."

"Stephanie, you're sister is slower than you." Ryan said. Stephanie gigged a bit and then processed the insult.

"Now you're not going to get my best work tonight." Stephanie teased.

"Damn." Ryan said. "Damn it all to hell." She giggled again and started to suck on Ryan's neck and left a hickey there. She pushed down on him again and there was a soft creak. "Damn Steph." He looked into her eyes. "How much do you freakin weigh?"

"150." she said quickly.

"Stephanie you're a bit more then an average girl your age." Ryan said. "Hell. You're more then a 21 year old woman. Not that I've got anything against it just think about it. You gain what? 10 pounds a year. By the time you're 19 you'll weigh 205 pounds. You may have an eating disorder. If you go on like this you may have problems with your health."

"Yeah in the future." Stephanie said. "But you've got more to love when you're in love with the great Stephanie Kelso."

"Yeah well you've got a point." Ryan said. "But still. Don't do this to your body. It can only take so much."

"I know when to stop Ryan." Stephanie said. "But can we just get that ride already?" Ryan nodded and tossed her shirt to her. Stephanie put it back on and slid her skirt back on under the covers. They got out from under the covers and left the room.

"Listen." Ryan said. "Just say that you're just wanting to spend a bit of time away from Point Place. And I'm there just to make sure you don't get lost and nothing is gonna happen between us."

"You mean no sex?" Stephanie asked watery eyed.

"No." Ryan said. "That's just what you say."

"Oh." Stephanie said. "I get where you're going."

"Good." Ryan said. Several minutes later they were in a car with Meg Kelso driving them up to Door County. An hour later they waved goodbye as she sped off. They entered the cabin. "Damn. This cabin is nice." The cabin had velvet rugs and oakwood walls. There were several rooms and a fully stocked kitchen. She smiled at him and showed him to a bedroom where she told him to wait in the closet until she called him.

"You can come out now Ryan." Stephanie said seductively. He opened the closet door and looked at Stephanie. She was wearing some fancy laced bra and a bikini bottom. "Are you ready?"

"Oh yeah." Ryan said. He walked over to her and took his shirt off and pushed her down on the bed and lay on top of her and reached behind her back. He had started to unhook her bra.

Forman Basement

An eleven year old Stephanie Kelso looked into Ryan Forman's eyes. She had fallen in love, or what she thought was love, with him. She thought about kissing him but decided against it. They were close friends but she wasn't sure if he loved him. She smiled at him and pushed her hair behind her ears. She moved onto the couch and sat right beside him. She put her hand on his leg and he looked at her oddly. "What is she up to?" Ryan thought. There had been a lot of weird things going on in his life. Like that dream he had about Jennifer last night. When he woke up he found out he had wet the bed. He had been nervous about it but then shrugged it off.

"Hi Ryan." Stephanie said.

"Hey Steph." Ryan said.

"You know I love The Simpsons right?" she asked him.

"Yeah Steph." Ryan said. "I've known that for a few years now."

"Cool." Stephanie said. "Damn it I look like a retard now." Stephanie thought.

"Well that was random." Ryan said.

Ryan pulled his shirt back on and kissed Stephanie on her forehead. "Well that was great." Ryan said.

"Oh yeah." Stephanie agreed.

''Best sex I've ever had." Ryan said. Stephanie giggled.

"That's the only time you've had sex Ryan." Stephanie giggled.

"Yeah well still." Ryan said. "If I had that still would've been the best." On the outside Ryan may look happy but on the inside he was crying. He was crying for Jennifer. He missed her. Back in Point Place Jennifer was saying the same thing on the insides. She may look happy but she was weeping on the inside. She missed him and he missed her.

A/N:Weird ain't it? So how many people saw it coming? I'm talking about Ryan and Jennifer breaking up and Stephanie and Ryan getting together. Not to mention that Steph is cheating on Tyler. I will try to update as soon as I can. And I don't plan on abandoning this story anytime soon. Still no idea how long it's gonna be.
