Previously:

The sound of someone skipping down the basement stairs caused him to pull away from the door and pull his hand out of his pants, but he was still in a compromising position just outside of Hyde's room with a giant erection when Donna came into view.

"Eric, what the HELL?"

Ride The Tide

Foreman Basement, 4:01 pm

May 5, 1979

"What the HELL, Eric?" Donna reiterated. Eric glanced around nervously, trying to will away his sizable erection. Funny, he thought, that he could be so hard and so terrified at the same time.

"I was just, I wanted, you know, I wanted," he swallowed nervously, trying to still his shaking hands. "I wanted to get Hyde's stash, you know, and I was just, you know, looking inside before I knocked" He trailed off guiltily and silence settled in the room as the basement door slammed. Eric's erection finally disappeared when Hyde came into view, planning to grab his wallet before work.

"What are you guys doin' in front of my room?" He questioned a guilty looking Eric and a furious looking Donna before Donna spoke up.

"I caught this little perv trying to catch you and Jackie going at it!" She turned back to glare at her boyfriend until Hyde spoke up.

"No, Eric saw me leave for work." He supplied. Donna turned to glare at Eric, even more livid with this new revelation.

"Then why were your pants open while you were looking in Hyde's room you little perv?" Eric looked like he might reply when Hyde cut him off.

"Foreman. You knew I was going to work and that Jackie was in there alone" He trailed off, becoming more angry at Eric, who stared down at his feet. "Jackie was fucking naked in there!" Hyde yelled just as Jackie opened the door, still pulling her shirt over her head.

"What's going on out here?" she asked innocently, looking only at Hyde and not noticing Eric's brief lusty stare or Donna's furious one. It was Donna who answered her.

"My fiance's a pig, that's what's going on!" She punctuated the statement with a slap across Eric's face before storming out of the basement. Hyde's menacing figure stood between him and the basement door, so Eric's hopes of following his fiancé were dashed. Instead, Eric stared at his shoes and waited for whatever his oldest friend was determined to dish out, but it never came. Instead, Hyde remained still, his gaze shifting between his best friend and his fiancé.

Hyde found himself more annoyed with Eric than mad at him. After all, Donna had been holding out for weeks and Jackie was hot. As his eyes roamed her body, he changed that. Jackie was fucking gorgeous. Turning towards Eric again, Hyde gathered all his irritation, ready to yell when Eric made it worse, as usual.

"Look, Hyde. I didn't mean to spy on her. I was, well, you know, your stash, and Jackie, and then she was naked and stretching and it was like..." Hyde stopped him right there.

"You have five seconds to get out of here or you're dead, Foreman." Without wasting a second, Eric managed to wiggle his way past Hyde and up the basement stairs.

"What was that all about, baby?" Jackie asked quietly once they were alone. He rolled his eyes, but couldn't hold back a smirk as he told her.

"Eric was, uh" He paused thoughtfully. "You remember when you and Donna caught Eric after looking at that picture of your mom?"

"Yeah" Jackie said, still not exactly sure where Hyde was going. The knowing look in his eyes caused her to break out in a blush before she joked, "I guess men really can't control themselves around a Burkhardt woman." She was the perfect combination of self assured and embarrassed, and after letting his eyes scan over her body he decided that it was probably true. He was about to reply when Jackie seemed to realize something. "Hey, aren't you supposed to be at work?" Hyde slowly advanced towards her as he spoke.

"Nah. I'll call in sick later. I can't leave you alone in a basement full of pervs." He grinned at her as he backed her towards the bedroom.

"Awww, Steven. You really love me." As she looked at him, he knew she was seeing her knight in shining armor, and the idea made him strangely happy.

"Maybe I do." He tried to suppress his smile as Jackie's tiny fists playfully pummeled his chest at his non-answer, but quickly captured her mouth with his own and pushed her back into the bedroom.

Their tongues tangled passionately as Jackie's hands worked to strip off Hyde's clothes; he was naked before the bedroom door clicked shut behind them. As she was about to start pulling off her own garments, Hyde stopped her and moved to lie down on his small bed. Once he was stretched out on his back, erection pointed proudly at the ceiling and hands tucked behind his head, he stared at Jackie expectantly. She blushed under his scrutiny and looked down at her outfit—nothing but jeans and an old shirt, not a stitch of makeup, her hair still messy from spending the afternoon in bed. Maybe she wasn't glamorous, but the memories of their coupling not an hour ago combined with his current hungry gaze made her feel sexy.

"So," she began, while pulling up her shirt enough to expose her smooth stomach, "you want me to give you a show?" He nodded as though it was the most natural thing in the world. "Haven't I been objectified enough today by your pervy friend?" she asked teasingly. He smiled at Donna's influence on her as her shirt rose higher.

"But, see, you haven't been objectified by me. So…" Hyde trailed off as her shirt rose high enough to give him a glimpse of her bra. He groaned in frustration when she covered her breasts back up before pulling the shirt over her head in one fluid movement. The sight of his girlfriend in jeans and her lacy bra sent shivers of desire down his back, and as she unhooked her bra and let it slowly slide away from her body, he could barely control his need to touch her. After closing his eyes briefly to restrain himself from grabbing her, Hyde opened them back up to see Jackie standing in front of him cupping her breasts gently. Her hands slid down her stomach in unison to unzip her jeans, and he moaned out loud when he saw her dark curls poking through the denim instead of panties. She laughed at his responsiveness as she wiggled the jeans down her legs and stepped out of them, wasting no time before straddling his naked form.

"Fuck, Jackie," Hyde breathed out as she sank down on top of him, engulfing him in her wet center. He stared up at her as she took him all the way inside of her and then paused to adjust to the new feeling. Some secret part of Hyde was almost giddy because of Jackie's display of sexual initiative, and as she began to roll her hips over him, he resolved to let her take this at her own pace. But that resolution didn't stop him from trailing his fingers up and down her torso, pausing to cup her breasts and pinch her nipples.

"Mmmm," Jackie moaned quietly as her head rolled back on her shoulders. Her movements were slow and steady and hitting her in all the right places. She blushed at Hyde's intent gaze, admiring her naked body bouncing above his as she rode him, but relaxed when his questing fingers ran down her stomach to touch the spot where they joined. Between the purposeful movement of her hips and Hyde's hands, Jackie felt herself rapidly reaching her peak. Just as her orgasm was about to hit and her body shuddered around him, Hyde moved his hands to tightly grasp her lower body and take control. His fingers dug into her hips, and as he held her still and began to thrust rapidly upwards into her, Jackie could feel her orgasm build in a flurry of sensation. And then she saw something strange.

"Steven?" She asked, as she pulled herself away from him, covering her bare breasts with her hands as she stared past his head. "Is that Michael's rabbit?" Sure enough, Zeppelin the Rabbit was perched on the small table that held Jackie's picture, watching them curiously and twitching its nose.

Hyde didn't respond, didn't even look at Zeppelin, before he growled—a deep rumbling sound coming from his chest—and pounced on Jackie, flipping her over on her back and covering her mouth with his. Their tongues and teeth clashed as Hyde ran his hands up and down her body, trying to touch every part of her now that she was underneath him. His mouth ran a trail down the side of her neck, nibbling on her salty flesh and enjoying all of the tastes and feelings he had missed out on with Jackie above him. Once she was writhing beneath him and begging for more, the rabbit long forgotten, Hyde finally slid back into her with one thrust. Jackie gasped beneath him and wrapped her legs around his back to reach her orgasm in seconds, causing Hyde to follow closely behind. Their lips met again as Hyde hovered over her, and when they parted, they were both struggling for breath.

"Damn, Jackie," he panted down at her, "you can't just stop like that, baby," he said, running a gentle hand through her hair.

"But, Steven, it was watching us! And…smelling us!" Hyde just laughed at her and curled around her naked body under his duvet.

"It's just a rabbit, Jackie. It doesn't matter." Jackie glared at him for a moment before turning her attention back to Zeppelin.

"Why is it always with you, anyways? Isn't it Michael's?" Hyde shrugged his shoulders, keeping his arms wrapped tightly around her.

"Kelso abandoned it, and someone has to take care of him." Jackie could hear him feigning nonchalance, and broke out into a large smile.

"Oh, Steven, you're so sweet! You took it in when no one else wanted it! You adopted the bunny!" Hyde cut off her rant quickly.

"No, Jackie! It's not sweet. I just had to take him before Kelso strapped him to a bottle rocket just to see what would happen." Hyde rolled his eyes both at his friend's stupidity and Jackie's insistence of his sweetness.

"Aww, don't be afraid to care, baby." She paused thoughtfully, looking at the rabbit. "You know, she's getting fat. What are you feeding her?"

"Him," he interjected before answering, "you know, vegetables and stuff from Mrs. Foreman. Rabbit food."

"Are you sure it's a 'him,' Steven?" Jackie was somewhat taken aback by his insistence.

"Yeah, why?" Hyde asked defensively. Being careful to keep her important parts shielded from the its gaze, Jackie sat up and gingerly reached for the rabbit. Flipping it over on its back, she did a brief inspection before turning back to Hyde.

"Sorry, baby. This is a girl. A very, very pregnant girl." She squealed as she said the word 'pregnant' and Hyde's face paled.

"Don't say that word around me. And Zeppelin is not pregnant because Zeppelin is a BOY." He spoke very surely as he knelt next to Jackie, avoiding glances at the rabbit's obviously swollen stomach, and instead staring into the bunny's face. "Huh," he remarked as he examined the bunny closely for the first time, "I didn't notice this before." His finger was tracing a brown patch of fur on Zeppelin's ear shaped remarkably like a pot leaf. "Yeah, see, that's a badass rabbit right there. Definitely a boy."

"Oh, poor Steven. He wanted a boy bunny." Jackie spoke in a baby voice, still stroking the rabbit's fur, while Hyde scowled at her. "This is a girl bunny, Steven. And she is going to have lots and lots of cute wittle baby bunny wabbits!" Suddenly, Jackie turned away from the rabbit and focused on Hyde. "Oh my god, Steven! We can have a baby bunny parade down the isle when we get married! Oh my god, we can get their fur professionally dyed to match my colors, and then they can…" she began to bounce on the cot, "hop down the isle!" Jackie squealed even more as she planned out the bunnies' roles in their wedding, and Hyde's scowl grew larger. "Oh! And some can have little baskets attached to their backs with white rose petals inside, so that then when they hop, petals will fall out for me to walk on, and then two of the bunnies can have sachets tied around their necks with our rings inside!" Jackie was so wrapped up with talking and bouncing that she hardly noticed when Hyde pulled Zeppelin from her grasp and drew her naked body back down next to his on the bed.

"Yeah, that's so not gonna happen." He spoke with absolute certainty and finality, but he wasn't surprised when Jackie disagreed.

"Oh yes it is!" Her voice was still sing-songy from the excitement.

"Not if you want me to be there, it's not." Jackie just laughed at him.

"Oh, you'll SOO be there, and do you know why?" He shook his head, messing with her. "Because you love me. Even though you won't say it, I know you do." Hyde's scowl slowly broke into a smile as Jackie pressed kisses to his cheeks and forehead. "I know you love me, Steven Hyde." He shook his head, feigning exasperation, but pressed his lips against hers and kissed her sweetly while Zeppelin the pregnant rabbit watched over them.

Foreman Basement, 12:15pm

May 6, 1979 (the next day)

After his journey through the apex of hell, also known as the Point Place mall, Hyde found solace in the quiet comfort of his small room. The bright, scrutinizing lights of the mall had twisted his brain into a million knots, making the plastic smiles of its workers that much more annoying and the prospect of what he was about to do a million times more terrifying. Making sure to shut his flimsy door and placing a small brown bag along with a brand new rabbit cage onto the dresser, Hyde plopped himself down on his cot and stared at the ceiling. He had everything he needed and now, all that remained was... "The speech."

Damn it. Hyde groaned at the thought and rolled to his side, getting his first reminder that he was not alone.

"Hey," he offered to the white fur ball staring up at him from the floor below. Big bunny eyes and a twitching pink nose returned the gesture, eliciting a small grin out of the supposed hard ass. "I like you. You don't talk much," Hyde said as he picked up the rabbit and placed it carefully in front of him on the bed. He sat up and cleared his throat.

"Okay, Zeppelin, how's this sound... what the hell?"

Out in the basement, Kelso stepped inside and looked around. Not seeing any sign of Donna, or anybody else for that matter, he prepared himself to leave when he heard Hyde's voice coming from inside the back room. He grinned at the strange sentimentality that oozed from his friend's voice and tip-toed over to get a better listen, readying himself for a juicy afternoon burn. Halfway there, it occurred to him that Jackie would still be at the Hub where he had just seen her searching for Donna. So who was Hyde talking to, Kelso wondered as he approached the closed door.

Hyde shook his head in disgust and used his thumbs to rub away at the crimson rose blush that saturated his poor rabbit's white fur. "Hey, did you let Jackie do your make-up again? You can't let her do that. You gotta stand up to her. I do it everyday. I know, I know. Look where it got me, right – fucking engaged. Well, not really," he practically whispered as he leaned in close to the floppy ears, "cause she doesn't know about this yet..."

She doesn't know about US yet, Kelso thought he heard, barely able to decipher Hyde's quiet words. Who the hell did he have in there?

Hyde reached up and grabbed the brown paper bag from his dresser, pulling out a small black velvet box and revealing the princess cut diamond engagement ring that sat inside. Zeppelin seemed to twitch her approval. "Yeah, you like that? It's not as big as Jackie likes 'em. She's so damn picky, you know. Drives me nuts. Here, you wanna see it?"

Kelso's eyes went wide as he pressed himself harder against the door.

Hyde held the shiny diamond out to the rabbit, letting her sniff it. To his surprise she tried to eat it, instead. "No, no, don't put it in your mouth."

Nearly out of his mind, Kelso now frantically searched the door for a crack, a tiny sliver even; he just had to see who Hyde had in there.

Hyde slipped the ring over his pinky finger and pulled the bunny closer, "Come here," he said before frowning and examining Zeppelin's full tummy with his fingers. "Oh crap, you are pregnant. Damn it. Well, we can't tell Jackie."

Outside the door, Kelso began to pace. What the hell was going on? Hyde was cheating on Jackie and now had gotten the girl pregnant? He had to tell her, warn her. She had to know that Hyde was a low down dirty dog. Pressing his ear up against the door, Kelso tried to gather any more information to use against Hyde.

"..she'll go all spastic. We'll have to hide the babies, cause you'll know what she'll do to 'em. Yeah. You heard her this morning before she slathered all that crap on your face," he said with a chuckle as he licked his thumbs and made another attempt at cleaning her furry, tarted up face.

"Okay," Hyde continued, returning to the real problem at hand. The speech. "How's this… Baby, I know I don't say it much to you, and I know I don't always act like it, especially when everyone is around, but... I love you… a lot," Hyde swallowed hard. "Will you marry me?"

Not wanting to waste any more time, Kelso ran out of the basement to find Jackie before she found out the truth, the hard way.

Hyde tapped Zeppelin on the nose with his finger, "Sound good? No, huh." He sighed. "I don't think it matters. I'm pretty sure Jackie would say yes if I taped the damn thing to a postcard and mailed it to her," he said with a smirk, confident that she loved him.

Placing the bunny in her new cage and giving her a pat on the butt, Hyde returned to reality. "Alright, get the hell outta here before someone catches me talking to you and puts me an insane asylum."

Hyde got up, put some rabbit food in Zeppelin's bowl and headed out in search of the girl that had him talking to fucking bunny rabbits just to please her.

Pinciotti House, 12:35pm

After searching nearly every nook and cranny of Point Place, which sadly didn't take long, Jackie decided to just give up and head home to the Pinciotti house. Donna would have to come back sometime, if only to eat, cause Jackie knew how focused that girl always seemed to be on food. But to her surprise, when she stepped in inside their shared bedroom, Jackie finally found her only girlfriend.

"Donna!"

She was sitting on her bed, staring into space and hugging on to the one thing Jackie found comfort in besides Hyde: Fluffycakes.

"Donna. Where have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you!"

"I was at the library."

"Ew, why?"

"Because I like it there."

"Ew, why?"

Donna shook her head, exhausted with Jackie's put downs. "Shouldn't you be naked somewhere giving my boyfriend a private show?"

Jackie gasped. "You're mad at ME? Donna, the Burkhart body was made to be looked at! Why don't you be mad at your pervy boyfriend for being so ... pervy!"

"I'm not mad at you. I just don't understand why he would do that. I mean... does he want you more than me or something?"

Jackie sighed and plopped herself down on the bed next to Donna and Fluffycakes. "No. God, maybe this IS all my fault. Or maybe it's Steven's fault for being so," Jackie paused in lustful reverie, "good."

"Oh, god," Donna said, disgusted.

"No, good," Jackie corrected, dreamily. Donna rolled her eyes as Jackie continued. "After our talk that one day, I decided to be a total and complete slut for Steven, and I realized... I AM a slut, Donna," she said smiling, "A big one!"

"No," Donna groaned sarcastically, having already heard from Kelso and Fez about the enchanting tales of "free porn" and "bunny fucks" that now ran on an hourly schedule in the Forman basement.

"Yes," Jackie confirmed, clueless to the red head's sarcasm. "Steven and I have connected, Donna! Literally and metaphorically, and, oh," she sighed, falling backwards on the bed, "oh, I never imagined it could be that hot."

Donna's face turned sour as she watched the over-sexed brunette fantasize on the bed before her. "Jackie, what does that have to do with my fiancé abusing himself to you?"

Jackie opened her eyes, snapping out of her newly discovered dirty Steven thoughts. "Oh, well... I could be wrong but I think Steven and I may have been a little loud, and you did cut Eric off, Donna, and well, I mean, look at me. Any normal man would have broken at some point. Oh, and Eric, too."

Donna rolled her eyes, but had to admit to herself that Jackie, although shallow, self-centered, and completely sex depraved, had a decent point. She looked at her friend and chuckled. "Whatever."

Jackie smiled. "So are you still gonna marry him?"

Donna took in a deep breath, pausing in thought, already knowing the answer. "Yes," she said, "but only after I make him cry a little."

"That's great! Cause I got an idea!" Jackie squealed. "A bachelorette party! I mean, why should those pervs have all the fun? If my new found sluttiness has taught me anything, Donna, it's that us girls need to grab life by the balls!" Jackie smiled and nodded as her friend looked on in horror. "Yeah, basically, me and you and maybe Laurie or someone, cause, you know, she's a whore, should all go and watch hot, guy strippers give US a show for once!"

Donna smirked, with a new found respect for Jackie. "You know what, you're right. If he gets to look at naked people, then so do I!"

"That's the slut spirit, Donna!" Jackie giggled, aware of her own silliness. She grabbed Fluffycakes back from Donna. "Oh! I almost forgot! Guess what! Steven's little bunny is pregnant!"

"Oh my god, you're pregnant?"

"No! The bunny, the rabbit, you know, Zeppelin. She's pregnant!"

"It's a girl?"

"Yes! And do you know what that means?" Jackie squealed once more, "Baby bunny parade!" Donna just rolled her eyes and collapsed on her bed with a giggling Jackie.

Foreman Basement, 5:30pm

SITTING AROUND THE USUAL CIRCLE ARE ERIC, HYDE WITH ZEPPELIN, JACKIE, AND KELSO.

ERIC: (looking spent) Well, after four hours of tears and an entire box of Kleenex, I think Donna and I are going to be ok. I mean, once I stopped crying, she totally came around.

HYDE: (angrily, holding Zeppelin) Man, I can't believe this crap. Kelso! You stuck me with a girl bunny! Now we're gonna have to freakin' rename her.

JACKIE: (smiling wide) I like Fluffykins!

KELSO: (to Hyde, livid) OR... How about LIARella or CHEATERina. What do you think of those Hyde!

ERIC: (looking at Jackie's chest) How about ZZ tit, I mean top… I mean hop... I mean ZZ Hop. Damn it!

FOCUSED ON JACKIE, HYDE QUICKLY SETS THE RABBIT ON HIS CHAIR AND MOVES OVER TO THE COUCH WITH HER, SETTING HER ON HIS LAP.

HYDE: (to Jackie) Hey, tomorrow night, I want to you to get yourself all dolled up, cause I've got a surprise for you. We're going out.

JACKIE: (bouncing, hugging him) Steven! Oh my god, I love surprises. Especially the shiny, two plus caret, princess cut, diamond encrusted kind! (coyly) But I guess dinner is fine, too.

HYDE SMILES AND JACKIE BEGINS TO KISS HIS NECK.

KELSO: (scowling) Well maybe you should prepare yourself for the lying, cheating, don't-know-how-to-use-a-condom, man-whore kind. HYDE!

HYDE THROWS HIS HANDS UP AND NARROWS HIS EYES AT KELSO, EVEN AS JACKIE KEEPS KISSING HIM AND BOUNCING IN HIS LAP.

HYDE: (angrily, to Kelso) What the hell is your problem tonight?

KELSO: Tell me Hyde… Do you think it's alright to go and sleep with some chick without even considering the consequences? ... (Pauses, obviously thinking of Brooke's pregnancy) Damn! Well, do you think it's alright to knock up some chick that you barely know? ... (Pauses again and throws his hands up) … DAMN IT!

KELSO STORMS OUT OF THE BASEMENT.

ERIC: (watching Jackie kiss Hyde's neck) Anyway, Donna's supposed to meet me here at sex... I mean six... to go get something to beat... I mean eat. Damn it!

ZEPPELIN THE RABBIT: (sniffing the smoke)

JACKIE: (watching the bunny) Steven, I think you should call her... Miss Zeppelin. Cause she's not married…yet.

HYDE: Miss Z. (he smiles and nods his head) Damn, that rabbit is flying!

Foreman Basement 5:53pm (twenty minutes later)

Eric reclined on the couch watching Threes Company, occasionally stealing glances at Jackie and Hyde who were locked in an intense make-out session on Hyde's chair. Miss Zeppelin sat on the table, staring at the couple like the pervy, hormonal rabbit she was: a constant reminder to Eric that he shouldn't watch. Just as he got sucked into the television show, he heard Jackie release a breathy giggle into Hyde's neck before detangling herself from her fiancé and standing up to walk to the freezer. She bent over the side, causing her short skirt to ride up her hips, and Eric couldn't seem to pull his eyes away. He might have even felt bad about his watching if Hyde's eyes hadn't been glued to her butt, too.

Jackie took her time bent over the cold chamber, trying to find a red popsicle and enjoying the tingle she felt from knowing that both men in the room were staring at her before popping up with her treat. As she walked back to her seat, she smiled at Hyde's heated gaze and the thinly veiled lust visible on Eric's face. There was something empowering about being so desired, and Jackie openly swayed her hips, soaking up every bit of their adoration. Sitting on Hyde's lap, facing away from him this time, Jackie could feel Eric's gaze on her as she unwrapped her freeze pop. While she'd never really understand what Donna saw in him, she had to admit that it had always been a thorn in her side that Eric was just about the only boy she'd ever met who didn't drool over her. Creepiness factor aside, the fact that he was currently staring at her like his last meal brought a giddy smile to her face, and she curled into Hyde's lap happily as she watched the television and began to lick her frozen treat.

Eric watched in sick fascination as Jackie licked her cherry popsicle, sensually moving her reddening tongue over the smooth surface. He drew in a strangled breath as Jackie's lips closed over the tip, sucking hard on the treat as her lips puckered and turned even redder from the juices. His erection, which had been present and annoying before, was suddenly unbearable as Jackie began to slide her cherry freeze pop in an out of her mouth, still swirling her tongue around the tip. He would have given anything to replace the dessert in her mouth with his own popsicle-shaped appendage, and his eyes fell closed at the fantasy of her lips closing around him, her tongue swirling lazily at the tip as she sucked every drop she could from him. It was several minutes before another sexy noise from Jackie broke Eric from his reverie.

Jackie had just finished her popsicle and tossed the stick onto the coffee table—past Miss Z—when Hyde's arms tightened around her waist and his lips found the sensitive spot behind her ear. She couldn't hold in a loud moan when Hyde bit down on her earlobe, encouraging him to continue nibbling down the length of her neck. It was plainly obvious that the noises she made were driving Eric nuts, and when the skinny boy noticed that they both had their eyes closed, he didn't even bother to hide his open stare. Jackie was too caught up in the sensations produced by Hyde's hands and mouth to notice that Eric was watching, but she did remember he was there. Before Eric's little stunt yesterday, Jackie and Hyde had never been shy about being all over each other in front of their friends. But now, Jackie felt distinctly awkward and tried to hint to Hyde that they should go to the bedroom. His only response was to tighten his grip around her waist before letting his hands slide up to cup her breasts. She blushed furiously as she gasped at the feeling of her nipples clasped between his fingers; Hyde's face was buried in her neck and he didn't seem to even remember that Eric was in the room. When she finally gathered herself enough to pull away from Hyde, Jackie shot Eric an apologetic glance and dragged her fiancé to the bedroom.

Eric sat numbly on the basement couch listening to Jackie and Hyde go at it like rabbits. Feeling every bit the perverted asshole that his girlfriend thought he was, Eric unzipped his pants and was about to reach inside to stroke himself when Donna slammed through the basement door with perfect timing to catch him red handed. He looked up at her, resigned to take whatever anger she had to throw at him, but the livid expression melted from her face as she stared at him, listening to the moaning and thumping noises coming from Hyde's room.

"Are they always…" She broke off and cleared her throat, embarrassed at listening but unable to avoid it. A low groan that was clearly Hyde's reached her ears, and she felt the wet rush of arousal creep up on her. Eric just nodded that yes, they were always loud and always going at it, and as Donna took in the sight of her disheveled boyfriend about to jack off in front of a pregnant rabbit, she just started to laugh. Doubled over next to the couch, Donna convulsed with laughter from deep in her belly as Jackie began to scream louder and Miss Zeppelin's nose twitched in time with the thumping noise that emanated from the bedroom. Irritated with his fiancé, believing himself to be a large joke to her, Eric prepared to stand up from the couch when Donna pushed him back down.

"Donna, please." His face was red with anger and embarrassment, but Donna kept a hand on his arm as she calmed down.

"I'm sorry," she whispered, the giggles subsiding as Jackie and Hyde finally quieted down. "I'm sorry, Eric. I know it's been difficult, and I know you won't believe it, but it hasn't been easy for me, either. It's just thirteen more days. Not so bad. It means a lot to me that we'll have something special on our wedding night." She smiled at him and Eric seemed to relax a little as she cuddled next to him on the couch, only to jump back up when the thumping started from the bedroom again. "Good GOD! Again?" Eric just nodded, the horny, haunted look returning to his face as Jackie's breathy moans filled the basement. Together, they scrambled out the door, headed for the Hub to find the least arousing food on the menu.

Foreman Basement, 12:49am

May 7, 1979

Jackie sat alone in the darkened basement, waiting for Hyde to get home from work. Her 'I Love Lucy' reruns had long ended, but the television was still on, casting a calming glow over the room. She was broken from a dreamy silence when the basement door swung open, revealing a harried looking Kelso.

"Jackie!" he nearly yelled at her, "Thank God I beat Hyde home. He knocked up some chick and he's already proposed to her and he's just using you for sex until they get married!"

TO BE CONTINUED….

A/N2: Thank you for reading! Remember, reviews are better than a naked Hyde washing your dishes!
