The next morning I woke up on the couch, my head pounding. I looked over and saw Hyde, asleep in his lawn chair. I sat up, still in my clothes, but a blanket was on my body. "Hyde, wake up." Hyde jolted up in his seat and ran his hand over his face. "Morning." He yawned. "Hyde?" "Yeah?" He said stretching. I looked up a little afraid. "We didn't… do anything last night, right?" He stopped. "No." I breathed out, thankful. "Why? Did you want to?" He said kidding around and smiling. I shoved him playfully. I stood up. "Hyde?"
He stood up with me and we walked to the backdoor. "Yes?" He said with his nonchalant attitude. "Is Hyde our real name?" He shook his head. "It's Steven, Steven Hyde." I smiled. "Cool." I opened up the door and looked into his blue eyes. "Thanks for last night. And… not… doing anything." He nodded. "I'm a nice guy. No need to worry." I shook my head. "Well, I was wasted. You could have taken advantage of me anytime last night." I said embarrassed. I kissed his cheek. "See you later." He smiled a little. "Bye." Once I was up the back stairs, I caught my breath. "Wow." I smiled to myself, then turned toward Donna's house
Donna was sitting on the couch when I walked in. "Hey you dirty girl!" She said looking up from her magazine. I shut the door and shook my head. "We didn't do anything." She smiled. "Sure. Then why are you smiling?" I turned and felt myself still smiling. "Well, he's a nice guy." She stood up. "Well Jackie said she thought something was going on." I rolled my eyes. "Whatever!" I smiled a little bigger. "But, Donna." She looked up at me. "Yeah?" I sighed. "I feel like he told me something last night, but… I don't remember anything except some of the concert and falling asleep on the couch in Eric's basement. Donna shrugged. "It was probably nothing. Hyde doesn't really open up to people, not even Eric. So, I think if he did tell you something last night, he probably just needed to get something off his chest, and most likely he knew you were really wasted, so that's why he told you." I smiled. "Well I guess it's a good thing I don't remember, then."
A few hours later, we were all back in Eric's basement watching 'I Love Lucy'. Kelso was sitting next to Hyde when he said, "So, Hyde, Eric said you and Sam didn't get in till one in the morning… What were you up to? Were you guys doing it?" He laughed and I looked down embarrassed. Hyde reached over and punched his arm. "Shut up, Kelso." I laughed, trying to brush it off. "Well, if we did, I don't remember ANY thing from last night." I said, trying to point it toward Steven that I didn't remember anything he told me. "Yeah, she was wasted, Kelso." He smiled and looked at me. Fez opened up the cooler next to the washing machine and threw a popsicle my way.
I caught it as Jackie walked through the door. "Oh my god, you guys! They just opened a new Disco place around the corner! We have to go tonight!" I laughed and Hyde said, "Why don't we not, and instead, you stab my eyes out with a rusty fork." Kelso climbed over the couch and stood next to Jackie. "Come on you guys! This could be fun!" Donna shook her head. "What could possibly be fun about it Kelso?" He shrugged. "You ladies will get to see me in some extremely tight pants! That's gotta be fun for you." He said, winking at me. I put my finger in my mouth, pretending to puke. "Sorry, Kelso, but no." I said licking my popsicle. Eric smiled. "Aw, I don't know Donna, I haven't made a fool of myself in a while. Are you sure you wanna miss that?" She laughed and shoved him playfully. Jackie held her hands in a pleading motion. "Please? Come on, Donna! It'll be fun."
After what felt like an hour of Jackie begging, Donna agreed. "Alright! But if I go, Sam has to go too!" I shook my head. "Alright, well… if I go, then Hyde has to go too." He held up his hands in self defense. "Well, if I go, Forman's going too."
A while of arguing went by and we all eventually had to go. "Then we'll all meet up here at eight tonight." Jackie said smiling and clapping her hands. She opened the door and barked, "Michael! Let's go." He got up and followed Jackie out the back door. Donna noticed that I was twisting my bracelets, so she said to Eric, "Come on, Eric. We have to… go do that thing for your mom." She winked at me, and Eric said, "What? What thing?" She pulled him collar and he followed. I looked over at Fez, then Hyde. "So, Hyde." He looked up from the tv. "Yeah?" I sighed. "How much did you drink last night?" He shrugged. "Almost as much as you and Eric, but I'm pretty good at driving and talking wasted. Why?" I looked over at Fez, trying to pick my words carefully. "Cause you said something to me last night on the ride back about… your dad." He stopped and looked me in the eye. "I don't remember anything like that." I shook my head. "I was pretty drunk too. Who knows what you said." He looked down. I think he knew what he said.
