Chapter 3-Whole Lotta Love.

"Oh my God! I'm still grossed out that I almost kissed a guy who dated my mom!" Jackie Burkhart exclaimed as she and Donna Pinciotti walked up the Forman's driveway. "I mean that's the kind of stuff that only happens in like Tennessee, or the South!" "Come on Jackie," Donna interjected, "it wasn't that bad…though it was pretty hilarious" The girls stepped in to the Forman's kitchen, to retrieve Donna's homework she'd left there earlier that afternoon. "I mean you didn't actually kiss him, and he's not like your step dad or anything." "Whatever Donna it was still awful!" "What was awful?" Steven Hyde asked coming in from the living room. "Nothing!" Jackie exclaimed guiltily. "Donna…?" Steven began before he was cut off by Mrs. Forman coming in from upstairs. "Oh goodness I have a full kitchen! Hahaha," Mrs. Forman said cheerfully, "Christmas cookies and cocoa for everyone!" She filled a plate with cookies and made three cups of cocoa for her kids, while Hyde shot Jackie and Donna questioning glances and Jackie glared back while Donna tried not to burst out laughing. "Here we are!" Mrs. Forman said as she handed each of the kids a cup of cocoa and plate of cookies. "Here Steven why don't you take some downstairs to Eric he didn't seem to be feeling well." "Sure thing Mrs. Forman," Steven chuckled knowing full well that eric wasn't sick he was just drunk out of his mind, from a rather weighted game of quarters that had been played earlier in the evening. "Perhaps Donna and Jackie would like to come with so they can finish telling me the delightful story of their own evening." Steven said grinning wolfishly. Jackie continued to glare at him the whole way down.

Just as the three of them got settled in the Basement Michael Kelso came barreling through the door. "Hey good everyone's here! Oh man you guys gotta hear what happen to Forman tonight!" "I'm right here," Eric groaned from the couch. "Oh Awesome! It's always better to burn a buddy while they're in the room!" "Hey," Donna exclaimed suddebag a nly "why don't we have a circle and tell each other about our night! That way," Donna paused shooting a furtive glance at Jackie, "some of us with little bodies but crazy tempers will be calmer!" "Sounds good." Hyde answered retrieving his stash.

The Circle:

Hyde: Alright, so who wants to burn their friends first?

Kelso: Me! Ok so after our completely dehydrating game of quarters tonight I had to help Forman home, which is ok because you can totally help a buddy get home when he's blitzed and can't walk just like it's totally cool to be a wing man and help friends who aren't as good looking as you to bag a chick.

Hyde: Yeah Kelso we get it you're a saint for bring Forman home. Get to the burn.

Kelso: Ok so Forman was imitating Red, Eric do it right now!

Eric: (groaning) I'm Red I don't like parties I'm a great big party poop-oh! I feel sick, I gotta go!

(Hyde and Donna quickly move out of the way)

Kelso: Yeah so anyway then Forman turns around and Red's right behind him. And boy does he look Mad! The cherry on top of the burn was Forman blowing chunks on Red's shoes!

Donna: (laughing) Oh my God! Poor Eric!

Hyde: Classic Forman.

Jackie: (laughing hysterically) That's hilarious! Wait what happened?

Hyde: Nothing wastoid, were moving on to your burn.

Jackie: Oh yay! I have a burn too I bet its hilarious. Oh! Is it about Donna's lumberjack hands?

Donna: Hey watch it midget I don't have lumberjack hands I have boxer hands! Besides the burn is on you.

Jackie: That's not possible I'm Jackie Burkhart, head cheerleader, flawless, and popular.

Donna: Yeah and just a little bit incestuous.

Hyde: What?! Donna man you gotta tell the story now!

Jackie: No she absolutely does not!

Donna: So Jackie insisted we go out to a bar tonight so she could find a guy to kiss under the mistletoe, and boy did she hit the jackpot! (Laughing)

Hyde: (sounding concerned) what exactly are we talking about here?

Donna: Ok so we met these older guys…

Hyde: Older guys!?

Donna: yes now let me continue, we met these guys and Jackie was flirting like crazy…

Jackie: I was NOT! I was simply being my charming self. (a dreamy look in her eyes.)

Donna: Anyway, so I kept telling the guys how young we were and the fact that we were still in high school, but of course they were GUYS so they didn't care.'

Hyde: Ok seriously now Donna what happened?! (Demanding)

Donna: jeez Hyde why are you getting so upset about all this it's almost like you care about Jackie's welfare?

Hyde: Of course I do you BOTH are my friends and Donna you're Forman's girl and so being Forman's friend I feel a responsible need to protect you from sleazy guys.

Donna: right…Anyway so Jackie was really flirting this one guy and laughing at his jokes, when all of a sudden he told her he recognized her laugh somewhere. It turned out her laugh was so familiar because it sounded just like her mother who he had dated like 20 years ago! (Laughing hysterically) Needless to say Jackie was none to pleased.

Jackie: Omigod it was awful all I wanted was a kiss under the mistletoe and I end up almost kissing a guy who used to French kiss my mom! Bleh!

Kelso: (laughing uncontrollably) that is awesome!

Hyde: That's hilarious but you guys you know mistletoe was created by the government to encourage people to kiss and then to have sex and have more babies which would lead to more tax payer so they can fund more experiments like their invention of a car that runs on water man!

Later that night Donna, Eric, and Kelso were upstairs in the kitchen. Fez had shown up a little bit ago and had demanded they make him pudding and toast for having a circle without him. Hyde and Jackie were still downstairs. Hyde was cleaning up after the circle and Jackie was getting her coat and purse. Jackie was just about to walk out of the basement when she saw it. "Ugh," Jackie groaned, "why am I cursed to be constantly surrounded by mistletoe with no one to kiss?" Just then Hyde walked over to her and without saying a word pulled her into his arms and drew her into one of the most passionate kisses she had ever felt. "Steven…" She said breathlessly "what was that for?" "Just helping a friend," he said with a smile, and went upstairs leaving her to consider what it all meant.
