I know I haven't updated in ages. I'm Sorry.

Disclaimer: I think we're all on the same page when it comes to who owns this wonderful show and it is most definitely not me.

The record store looked great. Donna and Fez had done the decorating and with Fez you knew Jackie would like it. Hyde couldn't wait for her to walk in. He'd been ecstatic when the others had told him she'd agreed to go with out a moments hesitation. She was finally coming round.

Jackie grinned as she took in her appearance. For the first time in weeks she was all dressed up. Luke was picking her up in a few minutes and she knew he would love the way she looked. As if he had been summoned by her thoughts, she heard a knock on her door. She grabbed her coat and they were gone.

Hyde heard the bell over the door chime and he looked up expectantly everyone else was here so this had to be Jackie. It was but the smile forming on his face died with in seconds as a guy of about 6 foot with light brown hair followed her in and took her hand.

Jackie grinned up at Luke almost believing she was truly happy. The buzz from dressing up had died down quick and she went straight back to the emptiness that she now lived with. "Hey Jacks, who's this guy?"

Hyde wasted no time with small talk. She knew what he was after so she wouldn't be surprised with his reaction. "This is Luke, we've just started dating but I really like him" she smirked clearly taking pleasure from his pain. He smiled and turned to Luke "hi there, I'm Hyde its nice to meet you" he forced out through his teeth. He stuck his hand out and did his very best to break Luke's when he placed it in his.

Donna sighed as she stared over at the Jackie and Hyde. Sometimes she just wanted to bang their heads together. Hyde was doing terrible at winning Jackie over and Jackie was being a bitch by bringing a date to party Hyde was throwing. She should've guessed something was up when she agreed to come so easily after fighting tooth and nail before to avoid being in any room with Hyde. It was officially time for her to intervene.

Jackie did her best to ignore the sickness building up in her stomach when she saw how unaffected Stephen was by her bringing a date. She wanted him to be okay with it ,she wanted him to move on this was great news. She couldn't understand why she found this so hard to deal with. She didn't want Hyde he was bad for her, all men were at least the ones she actually cared for. That was why Luke was so perfect , he was nice but he didn't get her blood pumping anywhere near the same way Hyde use to.

Hyde hated this he wanted to strangle "Luke". Jackie was over there hanging all over him laughing her head off. What made it worse was he knew she was faking it, it was obvious, well to him at least. Oh and of course Eric loved the guy- his name was Luke like the loser in StarWars. Oh how he hated this bastard it was like Red's barbecue all over again. Only this time Jackie wasn't desperate for his attention and he wasn't denying himself. God he sounded like and idiot.

Jackie was getting a headache. Luke was telling the most obnoxious stories all centring around him and his many "achievements". To make matters worse she kept finding herself staring at Hyde one minute she's looking at the wall trying to act interested in what her date had to say the next she's gazing at Hyde. Suddenly she felt a sharp pain her ass and looked up to realise that Luke had just smacked her on it. "What do you think you're doing!"

Hyde jumped and looked up to see Jackie glaring at Luke like he'd told her Abba weren't a band. "What makes you think that there is any situation where I'd be okay with you smacking my ass, do I look like a horse to you, are you trying to get me moving?" Hyde was torn between glee at the anger Jackie now had for Luke or rage at the thought of anyone touching Jackie that way. He was seconds away from marching over to them and breaking Luke's nose when Jackie beat him to it. He was even more happy because she hadn't kicked him in the shin which he kinda felt was their thing.

Jackie felt quite a bit of satisfaction as she heard the crack of Luke's nose as she hit him. Him hitting her wouldn't have been so bad if his explanation hadn't been "that she was his woman and he could touch her anyway he wanted". Luke's hand flew up clutching his nose as a stream of curses flew from his mouth " you little bitch, when I get my hands on you I'm gonna.." "Do nothing, now leave my shop before I call the police" Hyde was behind him biting his lip to keep the grin from his face. Jackie was aware that Hyde would do no such thing after all Luke hadn't really done anything illegal but apparently Luke wasn't as smart. His face displayed real fear before he turned tail and ran from the building.

Hyde looked to Jackie and was rewarded with a shy smile. She was coming around. "Thank you Stephen" she told him quitely and he couldn't have been happier she'd called him by his first name things were looking up.

Jackie couldn't help but smile, Hyde was being sweet in his old way like when they were dating. That's when she decided though she wouldn't date him she'd like to be his friend again. So she'd be civil and not flee the room everytime he entered but he had to learn there was nothing more for them, they were going to be friends and nothing else.

Well there it is, finally after all this time. I'm sorry for the delay I know I took forever I'll try to update faster next time.
