I love reviews, so please, please review! I'll make you internet cookies if you do!

The titles are Police Songs. I don't own that 70's show.

It's Alright for You.

The following chapter is very Hyde/Jackie centric. Sorry, but there just wasn't enough room for everyone. Hope you enjoy. Btw, this chapter has smut. You may thank me with reviews.

The restaurant Hyde had chosen was on the outskirts of Point Place next to an abandoned gas station. It was a peculiar place for a fine restaurant. They walked in and instantly balked at the sight. The décor of the place was dark, with red wood tables and black seats. Red neon lighting made the place look creepy. Couples sat at tables eating extremely small portions of meat, fish and vegetables.

Hyde looked over at Jackie to see her roll her eyes. They went over to the host stand.

"We have reservations for Hyde." He told the Maitre d.

The man, who looked remarkably like Fenton ran his fingers down the list.

"Hyde… Hyde… Ah yes, table for two." He grabbed two menus and gestured them to follow him. Hyde heard Jackie try to stifle a giggle.

"Hey, you wouldn't by any chance have a brother would you?" Hyde asked.

The man gave Hyde a glare and said "No." in a very short tone.

They followed the maitre d to the table. Both of them stopped in their tracks. It was right next to the kitchen, every time someone would come out, the door would hit the table.

Hyde looked at the maitre d. "Is there another table available?"

"We're very sorry sir, but there is not." He didn't sound very sorry at all.

Hyde turned to Jackie who was shaking her head.

"We're sorry, but we think we'll go somewhere else." He grabbed Jackie's hand and they left the restaurant. Once outside, Jackie burst out laughing.

"Oh my god, do you know who he reminds me of?"

"Fenton!" They both said together, causing Jackie to laugh even more.

"So, what do you want to do instead?" He asked her, putting his hands in his pockets.

"Oh, well, I don't know." She admitted.

Hyde suddenly smiled. "I know what we'll do."

Twenty minutes later, they were in the woods, just like their first date, sitting on the hood of his El
Camino, complete with burgers and soda. Jackie had taken off her heels and had placed them next to her on the hood.

"I'm sorry about tonight; I know you wanted to go there."

She gave him a look that clearly said 'You're such an idiot.' "Are you kidding me? That place was the very definition of tacky. And did you see the food? There were little bitty servings. I'm sorry, but that's not a meal, that's a snack."

They laughed together. "It was like we died and went to hell." He joked.

"Seriously, haven't they ever heard of a light bulb?" She looked around at their surroundings. She scooted closer to him and without fail; he gave her his coke and put his arm around her.

"Well, at least this time I didn't have to do it myself." she oommented.

He laughed. "I was so nervous that night."

She turned to look at him. "You were? Why?"

"Well, there was this girl, who really, really liked me, and I kept thinking am I worthy of love?"

She hit him. "I can't believe you remembered that!"

He looked into her eyes. "I remember everything you say Jackie."

She blushed. "That was a tie for my favorite date I've ever been on." She told him.

"A tie?" "What was the other one?"

She smiled. "Well, it'll depend on how this one goes."

There was a slight pause as Hyde tried to think of something to say.

"So, I got a house."

"You did?" She squealed, surprised.

"Yeah, well, WB bought to make up for all those birthdays he missed."

"Wow. Which house is it?"

"That house down the street from the Formans."

"Wow." She whispered. "That house has been for sale forever."

"Yeah."

She frowned. "I thought you liked living with the Formans though."

"I did, but you know, since Eric is going to be moving out, I just thought it was time I get my own place."

"Well, I'm happy for you." "How did Mrs. Forman take it?"

"Well there was a lot of crying, and a lot of yelling, and then she made us promise to come over for dinner every night." He laughed and then added, "Oh and Mr. Forman is making me take everything in the basement."

"Huh."

"Yeah, no more hanging out in Eric's basement. At least now we don't have to worry about the smoke detectors."

She laughed. Once again, there was another silence.

"I lied to you." She blurted out.

"What?" Hyde was confused. "About what?"

"Remember when Fez got us back together last year?"

"I sure do." He gave her a sexy wink.

"Well, I lied that day. I said that you were a bad boyfriend who didn't do anything a boyfriend was supposed to do."

"Yeah, I remember that." Hyde had never been happy about that part.

"Anyway, truth is, you were a great boyfriend. You were a great boyfriend even when I was still with Michael. I was just so embarrassed, so I lied."

Hyde stared at her. "Oh." "How do you feel about me now?"

"Seeing you with someone else broke my heart Steven, I wanted to crawl into a hole and die. I thought if I replaced you, it would make getting over you easier, but it never did."

"Okay." He responded, hoping that she understood what he was trying to say.

"What about you?" she asked.

"I'm sure it's obvious how I felt. When you started saying you liked Fez, I freaked out."

She laughed. "I noticed. We all noticed. I was so angry at you for ruining my chances at happiness, but Eric helped me realize that you were just jealous."

"I was." He admitted. "I think I always thought of you as mine, and seeing you with someone else really pissed me off."

She looked thoughtful. "I know what you mean. Even when I was with Michael, it was you I turned to."

Hyde got up off the car and stood in front of Jackie. Putting his hands on her thighs, he asked her, "Did you really feel nothing with our first kiss?"

"That wasn't our first kiss."

He shook his head."That one doesn't count, I pushed you away."

"Okay fine. I didn't really lie. I felt something, but it wasn't what I thought I should feel, so I didn't exactly lie, but I didn't tell you the truth either."

"Huh."

He had always regretted letting her go back to Kelso. Watching them make out in front of him was too much, so when he bailed on her, Hyde took his chance and went after her. He always thought Jackie could do better than either of them, but if it was a choice between watching her kiss Kelso only to have her heart broken time and time again or Hyde kissing her, well then, then, the choice was obvious.

He needed to find a better topic, something that wouldn't lead to another screaming match between them. "So, how do you like working with Red?" There, a nice, safe topic.

She smiled. "It's great."

"So, what about your dream of being on TV?" he asked her.

"I've come to realize that being on TV wasn't what I thought it would be." She shrugged.

"Huh." He remembered when he had gone to see her after the second episode of her cable axis show. He had wanted so badly to reach out to her and tell her he was sorry, but she had seemed so happy that he had chickened out.

A voice came on the radio. "This is Steve Silverman and this next request is from Donna to Hyde and Jackie." Tiny Dancer started to play.

"It's our song Steven!" She jumped off the car and grabbed his hand. "Dance with me Steven."

He took her into his arms and they started to sway to the music. She sang the words as they danced. "Blue Jean baby, LA lady, seamstress for the band." She sang.

"Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man." Hyde sang back to her. It took him back to the night of the Valentines Day dance.

They had just gotten back from the dance. She was still wearing her dress, but the flower was now on his bed.

"Sit next to me." He said to her. She sat and he put his arm around her.

"I am sorry Steven, I think I just wanted to get back at him for all the times he cheated on me."

"I know. I'm sorry too."

"Say it again." He requested.

"Say what again?" She asked.

"You know what. Say it."

She smiled. "I love you."

"Again."

"I love you."

"Again."

"I love you."

She smiled at him. "I know you don't want to say it back, but it would be really helpful if there was something you could say or do that would show me that you care."

"Jackie, I went to jail for you. What more do you want?"

"I need words Steven."

"Okay fine. How about when you say I love you, I say okay."

She looked thoughtful. "Okay." "Huh. I guess that'll work."

"Steven, I love you."

"Okay."


They stood outside her apartment kissing for what seemed like an eternity. Jackie stood up against the wall and Hyde stood in front of her, his arms on both sides of her, his hands on the wall.

"Steven" She said breaking away from the kiss.

"You're so beautiful." He told her.

She gave him a full smile and kissed him again.

Both of them didn't hear the door open, and neither saw Fez until he broke them apart.

"All right date's over!" He said to them.

They were both startled. "What?" Jackie squealed.

"Since when are you her father?" Hyde asked.

Fez grinned at Hyde. "It was Donna's idea. This way you two can't do anything you would regret."

"But Fez, what if we had gone back to Hyde's room?" Jackie asked.

"Eric and Donna are there." He told her.

Jackie turned back to Hyde. "Steven, I had a wonderful time tonight. I wouldn't mind doing it again sometime."

Hyde cupped Jackie's face and kissed her. "I'll see you tomorrow?" he asked.

"Of course."

Fez took his goddesses arm and they went inside. Hyde stared at the door and put his finger to his lips. Electric.


"Well?" Fez asked as soon as they were inside.

Jackie grinned. "It was the most romantic evening of my life. I think he's serious about us."

Fez smiled. "Well, he is. He knows how badly he messed up."

Jackie frowned. "Do you think I'm making it too easy for him? What if he just wants to get back together for the sex?"

"I think if Hyde wanted just sex, he would be able to get it from anyone."

She frowned. "I guess you're right. I just don't want him to think that it's okay to do stuff like this again."

Fez laughed. "I don't think you have to worry about that." They hugged briefly before Jackie pulled away. "I'm going to take a shower."


When Hyde got home he saw the Formans and Donna were waiting up for him in the kitchen.

"Steven, have a seat." Red told him.

"You were waiting up for me?" He asked them.

"We wanted to know how your date with Jackie went." Kitty told him.

"And, we wanted to have a talk." Eric said.

Hyde looked at them. "I believe Donna and Fez already had this talk with me."

Red shook his head. "Maybe, but we're having it again."

Hyde sighed in defeat. "Okay, go."

Red started the conversation. "Remember when I told you that Jackie was my favorite?"

"Hey!" Eric said.

Red looked at Eric. "When you can fix a carburetor, we'll talk." He then looked back at Hyde.

"Do you?"

"Yes sir." Hyde said.

"Donna told me she said that she would kill you. I just want to make sure you know that won't happen. Do you know why it won't happen?"

Hyde had a feeling he did. He shifted in his seat. "Why?"

"Because if you do, I will kill you myself, and by the time I'm done with you, you'll wish I had let Donna do it." Red told him, staring at Hyde directly in the eye. He then gave Hyde a wicked smile.

"What Red is trying to say dear, is that we care a lot about both you and Jackie, and you haven't made the best choices when it comes to Jackie. Relationships take work Steven, are you willing to work?" Kitty said to him.

"Yeah, I mean, I bought a house right?"

"That's a start. I'm proud of you son." Both Red and Hyde stood up to shake hands. Red then turned to Eric.

"And you, when are you getting out of my house?"

"Jackie says that she's going to talk to Fenton about an apartment in her building." Donna told them.

"You didn't tell me that!" Eric said to his wife.

She shrugged in response. "I got distracted." She smiled.

"Oh god." Red shook his head. "Kitty, we're going to bed." He grabbed his wife's hand to lead her out. He turned around to look at the kids. "We're all going to bed." He ordered.

Eric stopped Hyde before he could go down to the basement. "So how was the date really?"

Hyde glared at Eric and Donna. "It ended way too soon. No thanks to you" They both stuck their tongues out at Hyde. He turned and walked down the stairs.

She was sitting on his bed waiting for him. She had changed and was now wearing a blue blouse and jeans.

"Jackie! What are you doing here?" He was surprised, yet happy she was there.

"I snuck in. I had to come see you." She stood up and walked towards him, unbuttoning her blouse as she did. He instantly closed and locked the door behind him.

"Jackie?" He said nervously.

"Steven, I gave it a lot of thought, and I decided that our date ended way too soon."

He gulped. "You think so?"

"Yes, but before we do this, I need to know that this isn't a one time thing, that we're together. I also need you to understand that cheating, running off when things get complicated, or simply being an uncommunicative ass isn't going to work for me anymore. Is that okay?"

He was having a hard time listening. Her shirt was unbuttoned all the way and was barely covering her blue lace bra. "Uhh… yeah."

"Steven, look at me." She demanded.

"I am looking."

"No Steven, at my eyes. Look at my eyes."

"Jackie, it's a little hard to look at your eyes when you're stripping!" But he did so anyway. She looked nervous, scared. He knew what she needed. There was a time for words, and there was a time for gestures. This was a time for the latter. He pulled her to him and kissed her.

This was better than any dream he might have had, he ran his hand down her arms, she was truth, flesh and bone, nerves and sounds. He took her shirt off and then his. He made way to get her jeans off and she started to unbuckle his belt.

"I missed you Steven." She said to him in between kisses.

"Me too baby." He said huskily.

He gently pushed her onto the bed and let his eyes roam her body. She was a hundred times hotter than Sam, a hundred times smarter, and just all around better. She was staring up at him with worried eyes.

"Jackie, it's okay. I'm not going anywhere."

She blinked. "Good. Now come here." She pulled him down towards her for another kiss.

He ran his hands down her body. He unzipped her jeans. She raised her hips to make it easier for him to take them off. He tossed them aside along with her other clothes. She was now completely naked except for her blue panties. He trailed one finger at the edge on her stomach. She shivered in response. He then leaned down and kissed the very same spot. He slid them down her legs. He sat up and looked at the woman on his bed. She was smiling up at him, her eyes dark with passion. He ran his hands over her taut body, reveling in the smoothness of her skin. She was soft and hot and unbelievably perfect. He coaxed her legs open with his hand and started to feel her thighs. He put one kiss on her right thigh and then turned his head and gave a kiss on her left. He then raised his body up and put one hand on her breast while the other continued to run up and down her body.

She was starting to get annoyed. He was ignoring the part of her she wanted him to touch. "Steven, please."

He knew what she wanted, but he ignored her pleas. It had been six months since he had gotten to touch Jackie and he was going to enjoy it. He kissed her again, and then started to kiss her neck, trailing downward to her breasts. He took a nipple into her mouth and lightly sucked. She threw her head back in response. It wasn't exactly what she wanted but it would do for now.

She leaned up and started to kiss his chest, running her hands over his body. She loved Steven's body; it was a man's body, hard with sleek muscles and hair. Her hand moved lower and gently squeezed on his dick. He moaned in response as her hand moved up and down his shaft.

Without warning, he inserted a finger into her. She nearly bolted off the bed.

"God, Jackie." She was tight, warm, wet. She bucked up against his hand and he added another finger, his thumb caressed her clit, sending her to the brink.

She closed her eyes and threw her head back when he entered her. They held hands the entire time. He was going too slowly, she started to move her hips faster, trying to urge him to quicken the pace. He got her message and soon his movements became more frantic.

He nearly died at the sounds she was making. All inhibitions she had were gone. He worried though that someone would be able to hear her, so he kissed her. Their tongues moved in time with the rhythm they had created.

Her orgasm hit her like a shock wave. He felt her clinch around him, causing him to reach his own completion. He collapsed on top of her and put his head into the crook of her neck. He breathed her in, as though he might never be able to smell her again.

"So," she said, nervously.

He looked at her. "Don't Jackie."

"Don't what?" She asked.

"Don't compare yourself to Sam. You're a million times better in every way than her. I'm just sorry I was too stupid to realize it."

She started to cry.

"Oh, god, Jackie, don't cry. I'm sorry."

She hit him. "No! I know I'm better. I just, wow. That was beautiful Steven."

He kissed her forehead. "That it was." He rolled off her and pulled her in close to him.

"Stay here tonight." He whispered.

"Fez will worry about me."

"I'm sure Fez will be fine. Stay."

She seemed to hesitate for a moment before finally relaxing. "Okay. It's too cold to go outside anyway."

He snuggled her, "That's my girl."

She woke up dazed. She looked around Hyde's room, the night before came to her in a flash.

"Oh god!" she shouted sitting up.

"Jackie…" Hyde's sleepy voice trailed off.

She shook him. "Steven, wake up!"

He opened his eyes. "Jackie, it's early, can you freak out later?"

"No! We had sex!"

"Really good sex too, but that doesn't change the fact that it's too early." He rolled over.

"Why aren't you freaking out?" She asked him, poking him in the arm.

"Ow. Stop that. Jackie, there's nothing to freak out over."

"Nothing to freak out over?" She asked incredulously.

Hyde turned back around. "Jackie, why are you doing this?"

She stared at him. "Do you remember what we did last night?"

He leered at her. "I do, and I'm more than willing to do it again."

She hit him. "Dill hole! "We." She used her two pointer fingers and made gesturing motions at both of them. "Had" She put her hands in a large cup shape. "Sex!" She threw her hands into the air. She then looked down. "I swore to myself I wouldn't do this again! I wasn't going to forgive you so easily." She started to cry.

Hyde sat up and put his arm around Jackie. "Hey, it's okay."

She sobbed. "No it's not!"

He sighed. "Why not?"

She gulped. "Because you'll do it again." She said her voice soft.

Hyde didn't need to ask what he would do again. Instead, he pulled her closer and held her as she cried into his shoulder. "Look, if you need me to prove that I'm serious, uh, we can, um, not have sex."

She looked up. "What?"

"Well, if that what it takes…" Inside his head, he was thinking 'What the hell did I just say?' 'Worst idea ever!'

There was a pause, before she replied. "I don't know."

He pulled away from her to look at her tear streamed face. "I have something to confess to you." He stood up and got her letter out of his dresser drawer. "Fez gave me this."

She took it and read it. "I thought I threw this out."

"Are you mad at me for reading it?"

She shook her head. "No, except, this isn't why you're doing this is it?"

He kneeled down in front of her. "Jackie, this letter opened my eyes about a great many things, and it got me thinking about how badly I messed up. But, it's not why I want to get back together. I love you. I would think about you all the time." He put added emphasis on "All the time."

She looked thoughtful, then, with hesitation, she asked, "Why didn't you just kick Sam out?"

Great, the question he had been asking himself for the last six months.

"Because, I wanted to punish you. I thought you had cheated on me and that you had given up."

"I did give up. But I didn't cheat on you."

"I know that now. I've known it for a long time, but I still saw it, and it hurt me every time I looked at you."

She smiled. "Steven, are you groveling?"

He paused, thinking. "Oh damn it. I am!" He stood up and started pacing. He stopped though, and sat back down next to Jackie.

"So, do you want to stop having sex and just date for awhile?"

"I don't know if I want to date."

In his head, he imagined her holding his heart in the palm of his hand in front of a large stage audience. "Now Ladies," She was saying, "Be sure to squeeze his heart really tight! Then, set it down on the ground, like this." She sat his heart on the floor. "Then squash it with your foot! Make sure you're wearing shoes, you wouldn't want to get your feet messy!"

"Not date?"

"Steven, I'm not saying that I won't want to, but I was thinking that maybe we should start being friends again first. Get to know each other."

"Oh." He understood her position. He thought it was bull, but he agreed to it none the less.

"Can we be friends that have sex?" He asked, jokingly.

She pushed him. "You're as bad as Michael."

She got off the bed and started to get dressed. "I should go; Fez will probably be worried about me."

"I'm happy you and Fez didn't work out." He told her sincerely.

"What would you have done if we had started going out?"

"I would have been an ass and done everything in my power to break you two up."

She laughed. " Oh, you mean like how you tried to stop us from getting together?" "I would have had to kick your ass."

She leaned up and kissed him on the cheek. "Good thing that didn't happen huh?"

"Will I see you later?" he asked.

"I don't know. Fez wants to go cruising for chicks. I promised I would go with him."

"That's cool."

He watched her walk out. What the hell just happened?


Donna and Eric were lying down in her bed. "Are we sure we really want to live in the same building as the devil and the perv'?" Eric asked her.

"Oh come on, it'll be fun." She looked down at him. "And, I'll be near my best friend again. Don't tell her I said this, but I've missed her living with me."

Eric gave his wife a kiss and both them got off the bed.

They started getting dressed. "Do you think we should move the wedding up?" she asked him.

"I'm not sure why we're even having a wedding if we're already married." He replied, holding up two of his ties, a blue and white stripped, and a plain red one.

She pointed to the blue and white stripped. "That one and we're having a wedding because if we don't, your mother, and my best friend, will join forces and we will never hear the end of it." She started to her Kitty and Jackie imitations. "Donna! You stole my son and didn't even do it properly! I wanted my son to have a big wedding!" She started doing her Jackie voice, "Donna! I thought I was going to be your bridesmaid!

"Oh god, you're right." He shuddered in horror and turned to Donna.

"So how do I look?" He asked her. He was wearing a suit.

"Handsome."

"This is a very important day. I have an interview at the school to decide what class and subject I'm going to teach."

She went over to him to help him with his tie. She paused and looked at him. "I'm helping you with your tie!"

"Yeah, so?"

"So, this is what married couples do!" She kissed him.

"You know what else married couples do?"

She pretended she didn't know. "What?"

"It."

They went back over to the bed, kissing the entire time but were interrupted by the loud pounding at the door.

"Donna! I need to talk to you!" a shrill voice yelled.

Eric groaned. "Go away Devil!" He yelled.

"I need to talk to Donna, Nerd boy."

Donna looked up at him. "I thought you two were friends."

"We are." He went and opened the door.

She barged in. "Donna, we have to talk. Now."

Eric looked at her. "Should I go?"

"No, you can stay."

Eric sat down next to Donna on the bed. Jackie started pacing.

"I had sex with Steven."

She was expecting them to start yelling, but instead they said nothing.

"Did you not hear me? Steven and I did it!"

They continued to just look at her.

"Well? Aren't you going to yell?" She asked.

They shook their heads.

"I can't believe you! Why am I the only one who sees what a tremendously huge mistake it was?"

Donna touched Jackie's hand. "Jackie, chill."

"No!" She started pacing the room. "There will be no chilling! I am going to have a panic attack and you are going to watch me have it!" She paused again. "Maybe if I go tell Mr. Forman, he'll yell at me." She started to leave, but Donna stood up and blocked her way.

"No, you're not going to go tell Red. Now sit your ass down!"

Jackie plopped down beside Eric. "I told Steven I just want to be friends."

They both looked at her in shock. "You did what?" They both yelled.

"Oh this is just great. I have sex with him and you barely blink, but telling him I want to be friends; that gets your attention?"

"Remember the plan? You were going to be sexy and make Steven realize he made a horrible choice and then the two of you were going to get back together!" Eric started to pace around the room.

"It's okay. We can fix this. You'll just go to him and tell him you changed your mind!" He pointed towards Jackie.

She shook her head. "No Eric, if Steven and I are to have a chance, then we need to start fresh." She looked teary.

Donna sat down beside her. "It'll be okay. You did the right thing."

"She did? No, no, no!"

"Eric, calm down."

"Donna, apparently you haven't met Hyde. He'll take this as rejection and go do it with the first slut he sees!"

Jackie started to wail. "He will! What did I do?"

Donna shook her head at both of them. "Both of you need to calm down. I'll go talk to Hyde. Eric, go to your interview, Jackie, go to work."

She left them both to their freak out.

She found Hyde sitting in his chair watching television with Kelso.

She pulled him up by his collar. "We need to talk" "Now." She pointed towards his room.

"Can I watch?" Kelso asked. He loved it when Donna was in ass kicking mode.

"No." She said pointedly.

She slammed the door behind her as they walked into his room.

"I can't believe you did it with Jackie!"

"She told you then?"

"She and Eric are in my room having a conniption fit!"

"Why is Eric having a fit?" He was confused.

"Never mind that. Why would you do something so stupid?"

"Hey, she came on to me! What was I supposed to do? Say no?"

Donna paused, pretending she was thinking about it. "YES!" She punched him in the arm.

"She thinks you're going to go have sex with a slut now." She told him, her voice filled with compassion.

Hyde balked. "I'm what?"

"Well, can you blame her?"

"Hey, look, I think her just friends' thing is as stupid as you. I'll make her come around."

"You better." With that, she turned and stalked out of the room, leaving Hyde wondering what had just happened.

It was official, he was doomed.


Eric turned to Jackie who was now sitting on the bed. "What are you doing?" He asked her.

"I don't know!" I just freaked out okay?"

He sat down beside her. "Do you want to be with him Jackie?"

"Yes." She said in a small voice.

"Well then, what are you doing here?"

She sighed. "Thanks Eric." They both stood up.

"Anything for you Vader."

"Go on, geek." She shoved him out the door.


Eric walked nervously into the principle office at Point Place Elementary. The principle, a man named Mr. Pivetts was a large man who looked remarkably like Columbo.

"Mr. Forman." Mr. Pivetts got out of his seat and shook Eric's hand. He gestured to one of the chairs in front of his seat and requested Eric sit. He then sat in his own chair and started fumbling around with papers.

Something about someone calling him Mr. Foreman freaked Eric out. "Please, call me Eric."

"Okay Eric, I hear you were in Africa for six months."

"Yes sir, it was part of a scholarship program."

"Yes, yes, I know that program very well. My own son just returned from South America, Chile to be exact."

"Wow."

"So tell me about your experiences in Africa, Eric."

"I went to Africa so that my girlfriend, now wife, and I could have a future. Leaving her, my family and the rest of my friends was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. But when I was there, I met so many amazing people, little kids who wanted to hear what I had to say, and families that were just like my own. There was even a group of teenagers who reminded me so much of my friends." Eric laughed at the memory, "There was even a skinny guy like me who had a beautiful girlfriend."

"And what did you learn from this Eric?"

"I learned that even though the skin color might be different, everyone is basically the same. I also learned there was no other place I'd rather be then here in Point Place."

"I've looked at your test scores Eric, and I think putting you in a math class would be a bad idea."

"I agree."

"It also says on your application that your hobbies are, "Being a Jedi, building Lego Sets and Models."

"Yes."

"So you're a 'Star Wars' Fan."

"Uh, yeah."

"You know, most of 'Star Wars' is based on mythology."

"I think I knew that, yes."

"Do you like to read, Eric?"

"I do. Last year when I spent a year off work, I did a lot of reading."

Mr. Pivetts continued to look at the papers on his desk.

"How would you like to teach sixth grade English, Eric?

"That would be great sir!"

"Great, you start on Monday at 8:45, I advice you get here by 8:30."

Both men stood up and shook hands. Eric walked quickly out of the building wanting to jump for joy. As soon as he was away from the building and near his car, he let him let go and did a spin in the air.
