Hyde leaned against the couch, rubbing his forehead. What Eric had said was starting to get to him. It probably wasn't fair to flat out ask Jackie how many dudes she'd dated- they weren't together at the time- but...

He couldn't help it. He hopped up and walked out to the driveway and across to the Pinciotti's living room, where Jackie and Donna were sitting on the floor watching Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, looking kind of bored and listless.

"You guys having special brownies without me?" he asked with a grin, smiling wider when Jackie hopped up and threw her arms around his neck.

"Hi, Steven!"

"Hey, Hyde." Donna said, shaking her head. "We are not, actually- we're bored. There's nothing on TV, nothing to do in this town..."

Hyde walked over to the couch, his arm still around Jackie's waist, and yanked her into his lap. "Well, for one thing... your nighties are all wrong for a slumber party..." he said in mock seriousness, shaking his head at them. "Should be much skimpier..."

Donna snorted, reaching up from the floor and punching him in the leg.

Hyde chuckled, trying to hide the wince- Donna was stronger than she realized sometimes.

"Well, no wonder you're bored here; you don't know how to have a slumber party properly... Come on... where's the stripped-to-your-panties tickle fights? If dirty movies have taught me anything, that's what you're supposed to be doing..."

Jackie took a pillow and swatted at his face, starting to get up. Hyde, laughing by now, moved his hands to stop her.

"Sorry... I'm kidding... Unless you'd be into that-"

Both girls gave him a dirty glare.

"Okay, yes, definitely was kidding." he grinned, adjusting his glasses back with a satisfied smirk.

Jackie rolled her eyes at her fiancée, and Donna made a noise in the back of her throat.

"Ahem... well... I was bored." he admitted. "Miss you."

Jackie gave him a melty smile. "Awww..." she said, snuggling into his neck.

"That's so cute.. and gross, so stop it before I get the spray bottle again."

Jackie stuck her tongue out at Donna and lay her head on Hyde's shoulder. Hyde smirked, stroking her hair gently.

"So... I was going to wait till tomorrow, but I have a surprise for you." Jackie said, running her finger over his clavicle.

"Oh, yeah?"

"Yeah, Donna got me an interview at the station, because one of the DJs is quitting; they loved me! Well, duh, who wouldn't, but... I got the job!" she said excitedly, sitting up and clapping her hands a bit.

Hyde's eyebrows went up. "Seriously? A DJ?"

Jackie nodded. "It's not television, but, it's a start, right?"

"I can't believe you got the better time slot than me, too." Donna groused. "I've got seniority."

"You're already a DJ. You're Hot Donna." Hyde reminded.

"Yes, but Jackie got a better time slot." Donna pouted.

"Jerry Thunder liked me." Jackie shrugged.

"You're not gonna have to do appearances and photos like Donna does for the Hot Donna gig, are you?"

Jackie suddenly gasped, and Hyde looked at her. "Ooooh, do you think I will?"

"I don't know, Jackie..." Donna hedged.

"Well, why wouldn't I? I mean, they have you do it."

Donna narrowed her eyes. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Jackie opened her mouth, and Hyde put his hand over it, shaking his head furiously at her. Jackie's eyes went wide, and then she nodded, and Hyde took his hand off. "Just that... I'm a girl too?"

"Right..." Donna said.

"Hey, who wants brownies?"
