Jackie laughed as she put on one of Hyde's T-shirts, since hers was pretty much destroyed.

"Come on, baby... that was well worth it." Hyde smirked.

Jackie cupped his chin, pulling him forward for a quick kiss on the lips. "Yes, Puddin' Pop."

When they came back out, no one was looking them in the eye, until Kelso spoke up.

"What the hell, Jackie? When did you become such a screamer?" Kelso blurted finally.

Jackie blushed. "You were listening? That's sick, Micheal!"

"I was just sitting on the couch, trying to watch TV, but you could be heard in Tokyo!"

Jackie flushed again, but lifted her chin defiantly. "Well, before Steven I never had a reason to scream like that."

Hyde smirked cockily, and Fez and Eric doubled over in laughter. Kelso looked offended. "Hey! I... we did it all the time!"

"Yes, if by 'it', you mean you grabbing and climbing all over me for 49 seconds like I was a bull in a rodeo and then rolling off before I got anything out of it."

"Burn!" Eric blurted through his laughter, pointing at Kelso.

Fortunately for him, Donna walked in about this time.

"All right. First off, thank you for seeing I got a ride home."

"Oh, I knew I forgot something..." Eric muttered, getting a glare from Donna. "But... I... love you?"

"Whatever, jackass."Donna huffed, flopping onto the couch.

"Well, I think we should practice the song for the concert." Jackie said briskly, desperate for a change of either subject.

"I thought we were gonna use the song you showed us the other day."Donna said, arching an eyebrow.

"Yes, but, we need an encore song, too, Donna." Jackie said as if that should be obvious. "What if we need a tiebreaker?"

Donna nodded; she had a point...

When the battle of the bands commenced, they didn't have much competition. Chip's band was conspicusously absent, and, one of their competing "acts" was Bob and Joanne, singing a duet of "Don't Go Breaking My Heart".

"All right, we're gonna ask our winning band, 'Foreman's basement', to sing an encore song for the night." Johnny Thunder said into the microphone.

Jackie gave Donna a "you see?" look, and Donna smirked, walking up to the stage with her.

They went to their places, and Eric began the song Jackie had written on the night she first kissed Hyde...

"I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought
"Hey, you know, this could be something"
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing

So maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one

I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes
The way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing

That maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought, "Hey,"

Maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking
I can't live without you
'Cause, baby, two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
But I'll figure it out
When all is said and done
Two is better than one
Two is better than one..."

And, as the last strains of the song came to a close, Jackie and Hyde's eyes locked, knowing that two really was better than one, and that nothing could come between them now...
