Once again, thanks for your awesome reviews. I really enjoy your feedback, and it usually has an impact on my story. Never be afraid to suggest something to me. I take all request into consideration whether I agree with them or not. BTW, I have changed the years since the accident. In this chapter, Hyde and the guys learn the truth about the guy from the picture, and the gang learns another new thing about Jackie. Hope you guys enjoy! Disclaimer: I don't own That '70s Show, unfortunately. It's a shame cuz I think us T70S fan-fic writers could do a much better job on season eight than the real writers did. Hyde marries a stripper? Jackie and Fez? Really?

Hyde, Kelso, and Eric crept up to the school quietly, trying not to make a sound. Okay, they were somewhat quiet. Kelso kept tripping over stuff, causing him to yelp out in pain. It was only the three of them because Fez had opted out of the spy mission, stating that he would most likely get them caught. The group had agreed, and they set out on the mission. Eric had agreed to help only for three reasons. Reason number 1: Donna was off with Lucy and Jackie, so he had nothing better to do. Eric's only guy friends were really Kelso, Hyde, and Fez. The scrawny geek just never saw a reason to make new friends when he had such good ones already. Reason number 2: He knew it was important to Hyde. Eric would do almost anything for his best friend. He knew Hyde had a thing for Jackie, and so he was going to help the guy. Reason number 3: Eric wanted to help Jackie. Sure, he called her the devil, and she called him a geek, but at the end of the day, they were friends and pretty good ones. He had been getting along with Jackie even better since Lucy had showed up. Lucy brought out another side in Jackie that everyone liked. Kelso was involved with this plan merely so he could wear his ninja suit again.

The guys sneaked over to the side of the school. Hyde wasn't too worried about getting caught considering it was a Sunday. Either way, it was better safe than sorry. Hyde and Kelso boosted Eric up on top of their shoulders. Hyde was at the bottom with Kelso in the middle. Eric used the wrench they had swiped from Red's garage to open the window. He jumped through and opened up the back door for his friends. The guys walked through the dark hallways. It felt strange to see the school this empty. The effect was almost creepy. Hyde barely recognized the place without the constant noise of students gossiping and teachers yelling.

They headed towards the library. Surprisingly, Kelso actually knew where that was. He had a hard time remembering the librarian's name, though, and called her Teacher instead. She returned the favor by calling him Student. Kelso spent most of his time in the library hitting on girls and going through the yearbooks for new prospects. It was a fool-proof way to make sure he didn't forget a girl. It would just be cruel to deprive a girl of Kelso's hotness, or so he thought. In reality, he was probably doing that girl a favor.

Not surprisingly, the library was left unlocked. The three guys slipped in. Hyde and Eric looked over at Kelso. "Where are the yearbooks?" Hyde asked his idiot friend gruffly. He couldn't remember the last time he'd stepped foot in the library. Eric had been in the library a few times each year, but he'd either been doing late homework or reading comic books during that time.

Kelso contemplated this question. He though hard, trying to go through his memory. After blocking out the hot girls, he was able to remember. "Over there!" he shouted proudly. Hyde frogged him. "Damn, Hyde!"

"You're going to get us busted, idiot!" Hyde snarled as he headed over to the shelf Kelso had pointed at. Kelso and Eric followed behind Hyde, keeping a safe distance away from him. Their friend was on the war path, and Eric knew why. It was so obvious that Hyde cared about Jackie. If he didn't, they wouldn't have broken into the library. Personally, Eric thought Hyde and Jackie would make a good couple. Sure, looking from the outside, it seemed impossible. The rebel and the cheerleader. But, knowing the two better than that, Eric knew that it wasn't that unbelievable. Hyde had had a pretty crummy childhood, and from the things Lucy had accidentally told them, he knew Jackie had too. Not to mention the fact they had crazy chemistry. Eric wasn't sure how none of them had noticed it earlier. The way the two argued practically screamed attraction. Of course, the scrawny geek knew Kelso wouldn't be too happy with Hyde dating Jackie, but he knew Kelso would get over it. Kelso loved Jackie but like a little sister, not a girlfriend.

Hyde scanned the years on the yearbooks before he found the two he was looking for: 1975-1976 and 1976-1977. He grabbed them and motioned over to his friends. The three guys sat down at a table, and Eric managed to find a light. Hyde pulled the picture out of his pocket and folded out the creases. He admired the picture. Hyde loved how happy and carefree Jackie looked, like she was at the top of the world. If he could ever make her a fraction of that happy, he would feel like he had accomplished something in his life.

Hyde opened the older yearbook and started to flip through it. The three guys kept their eyes peeled for the guy in the picture. Along the way, they found Lucy's and Jackie's pictures. Jackie looked the part of the naïve princess. Hyde couldn't help but notice a certain shine to her eyes that was now missing. Lucy's picture was totally different than what any of them had expected. The girl looked totally, completely, out-of-her-mind happy. None of them had ever seen anyone that happy. It was only when they flipped the page did they discover the reason for Lucy's happiness.

Hyde looked at the next page, and there was the guy. He didn't look that different from the picture Hyde was holding. Kelso noticed the letter jacket, so they knew he was a football player. The idiot also noted, jealously of course, that he had dark blue eyes and dark brown hair. Hyde looked over at the name and felt his eyes bug out. He stared at the page in shock.

Eric looked over at the name Hyde was staring at. "Jason Burkhart," he read calmly, the impact not setting in. Then he read it again to himself. "Oh crap."

Kelso looked at it himself and pouted. "Since when does Jackie have a brother?" Eric and Hyde gave him a I-can't-believe-how-stupid-you-are look.

"That's what we're trying to figure out, dumbass," Hyde barked.

"But why wouldn't she tell us about him?" Eric questioned. Hyde didn't answer him. He had a theory, but he just needed to confirm it by looking at one thing. "Hand me the next yearbook." Eric wordlessly gave it to him. Hyde opened it and flipped through it before finding the page he assumed would be in there. "That's why," Hyde answered, pointing to the page.

Eric and Kelso looked at it. It said: In Memory of Jason Burkhart: 1959-1977. There were a bunch of pictures of Jason around the page. There was one with the football team, one with Trent and Dexter, and a couple with Jackie and Lucy. "Oh my god," Eric muttered.

Everything was starting to make sense to Hyde. Jackie had been close to her brother and to Lucy. Lucy was dating Jason, and they were all in a band. Jason died, leaving Jackie completely alone. Lucy, unable to deal with her grief, ran off. Jackie tried to reinvent herself as a cheerleader and started to date Kelso, befriending all of them in the meantime. Hyde had to hand it to the tiny brunette. She had done a remarkable job making sure none of them discovered any of this.

Eric looked at the clock. "Guys, we got to go! We're supposed to meet Fez and the girls in five minutes!" Hyde closed the yearbooks and put the picture back in his pocket. He was going to confront Jackie, and he was going to get answers.

Meanwhile, Donna, Jackie, and Fez sat in the car blindfolded. Lucy sat at the wheel, tapping her fingers impatiently. "Luce, is this really necessary?" Jackie whined.

"Yes, since you always try to resist my surprises," Lucy answered with a smirk. Plus, you'd probably try to run if you found out where I was taking you, she added mentally. Lucy was about to bring up a painful part of the past for Jackie, and she knew her friend wouldn't like her for it. Fortunately, Lucy also knew her friend needed closure more than anything else.

"How long do we have to wait?" Donna asked impatiently. It was bad enough being blindfolded, but being blindfolded and not even moving was annoying.

"The guys said they'd meet us here as soon as they were done with their errand," Lucy replied, her tone bored. Finally, she spotted the three guys running up the driveway. "And here they are now!" Lucy got out of the car to greet the guys.

"Sorry we're late!" Eric apologized. "It took longer than we thought."

"It's okay. Just put these blindfolds on and get in the car," Lucy commanded. She held out the blindfolds to the guys.

"Blindfolds?" Hyde asked incredulously. Lucy raised an eyebrow at him.

"Surely the bad-ass rebel isn't afraid of a surprise," she teased, knowing it would get him in the car.

"Fine," Hyde grumbled, getting in the car. "Wait, who's sitting next to me?"

"Jackie," Lucy replied innocently. Hyde obliged and sat down next to Jackie.

Eric and Kelso, both scared of the blonde girl, put their blindfolds on and got in the back. They drove for about twenty minutes until Lucy stopped. "Okay, everyone except Jackie take off your blindfold," she ordered. Everyone except Jackie cheered and tore the cloth off their eyes. The gang looked at their surroundings. There was a small sign that said Joe's Repair and Track.

"What are we doing here?" Donna asked curiously.

"Where are we?" Jackie asked with a pout. Lucy gave the gang a look that silenced them.

"You'll find out soon," she told her friend sweetly, helping the loud midget out of the car. Lucy grabbed Jackie's arm and steered her in the right direction, the gang following them. Finally, she stopped and pulled the blindfold off. "Surprise!" Lucy shouted.

Jackie looked around her in disbelief. She couldn't remember the last time she'd been here. She had been avoiding it for so many reasons. Jason had died on his motorcycle, and he had been on his way to Joe's. Jackie had so many reasons why she should hate this place. Yet, being there didn't make her angry. It made her sad. The place made Jackie remember things she had tried to forget, long summer days spent racing and fixing up bikes with her brother. The happy memories made her want to cry. She turned to her best friend. "Why in the hell would you bring me here, Luce?" Jackie asked, her voice low. It was too painful.

"Because you needed to come here," Lucy replied firmly, looking her friend straight in the eyes. "Look, we used to love coming down here and racing. Or did you forget?"

The last sentence made Jackie angry. "How could I forget? I remember everything, and all of it has replayed every minute of every day for a year." This silenced Lucy. "I relieve all of it every day, and it makes me feel like a rotten person. Knowing it was my fault…" At this part, Lucy interrupted.

"Blue, it wasn't your fault. Those kind of accidents happen all the time," she reassured her friend. Jackie had already started to walk away.

"I'll go talk to her," Hyde said, following Jackie. Lucy turned to the rest of the gang.

"Want to race some bikes?" she offered, trying to change the topic. The gang just nodded, their minds still trying to figure out the mystery that was Jackie Burkhart.
