Disclaimer: I own nothing!

Author's Note: Hey everyone! Ok, I am really late, I know. I am so sorry, things here just got a little crazy, I was up till three the other night making cookies, there was Christmas shopping I had/have to do, and there were Christmas get togethers I attended. but now I'm on vacation yay! And hopefully I won't sleep in too late so I can have time to write this story. I am so sorry for not updating, but if you read the last author's note, there might be updates with two chapters, so don't forget to check them both out. Also quick little note, I've got a list of things I want the gang to find up in the attic, but I was wondering if you guys had any ideas. Please feel free to chare! Anywoo long enough wait so here you go! Enjoy!

Almost half an hour later, the atmosphere of the attic had yet to change. Jackie and Hyde were still annoyed and Kelso and Fez were still being annoying.

Jackie had her head in her hands as she continued to sit on the chest a few inches away from Hyde.

Hyde was looking up skyward. He had been up here way too long. And if he had to choose, he would have been better off with staying up here alone. Heck he'd rather be up here with just Jackie than have these two idiots…wait no her didn't mean that. It was the lack of oxygen up there, yeah that was it.

Across from where Jackie and Hyde were sitting, was Fez and Kelso. They both were running out of energy but somehow continued to move their mouths when ever they had to.

"It's your turn." Fez reminded as he nudged a weary Kelso.

"Huh?" Kelso asked sitting back up. It took him a few seconds to remember what was going on. "Oh yeah. Is to."

"Is not."

The argument had been going on nonstop. At first both Jackie and Hyde were happy that the singing had stopped, but then the argument continued. It wasn't even a good—I need popcorn for this—fight. It was so stupid and pointless. It was a about a Ninja Raccoon!

After the first ten minutes of 'Is not' and 'Is to' the oomph in the argument had faded as the arguers began to fall asleep. Hyde would hold his breath and Jackie would do her best to not make a peep whenever it seemed like their friends were about to enter 'La la land.' And then something would happen and Kelso or Fez would wake up ready to win the argument.

"Is to!"

"Is not!"

"Shut up!" Hyde growled at them.

The pair shut their mouths, frightened by the curly haired man. They were afraid to speak and so they didn't. Not for a good forty-five seconds; then Kelso turned to Fez.

"Yeah Fez, shut up."

Fez frowned, "You shut up!"

"No you!"

"No you!"

"No you!"

"No you!"

For a spilt second Jackie was happy at the change of words. And then she realized just because they were new words didn't mean the argument would be over. Jackie needed it to over. Now.

"Ugh! That's it!" Jackie exclaimed as she stood up from the trunk and walked over to Fez and Kelso, "Stop fighting!"

Kelso turned to Fez again, ready to do the same thing he had done moments ago. Luckily Jackie saw this and stopped him just in time.

"Both of you, Michael." She said to ex-boyfriend.

"What? Me? I didn't! God!" Kelso shouted before throwing his arms in the air, only to bring them back down and cross them, while putting a pout on his face.

Fez giggled at his ex-friend and pointed his index finger at Kelso, "Ha ha!"

"You guys need to stop fighting. You guys are best friends…" the boys scoffed at her words causing her to turn her speech to a different direction, "If the two of you keep fighting, You're gonna tear this group apart."

"You and Hyde fight all the time." Fez reminded the tiny brunette.

"Yeah!"

Jackie was silent. She didn't see that coming. She hadn't even realized she and Hyde fought 'all the time.' Sure she knew they fought but she didn't think it was 'all the time.'

"Yeah well that's cause that's our thing."

Jackie turned around to see Hyde gradually walking their way. As he walked over to the trio, he went on with his point.

"Me and Jackie are the bickering couple. Forman and Donna are the 'make people sick' couple and you guys are the perverted couple."

"I don't wanna be the perverted couple anymore!" Kelso whined

"Me neither!" Fez agreed with Kelso, even though he was supposed to be disagreeing with him.

"Hey I know!" Kelso exclaimed. Never a good thing. "We'll take your place as the bickering couple and you guys be the perverted couple!"

"Yeah!" Fez was quick to answer, "Oo and you guys can be perverted to each other!"

Jackie rolled her eyes in frustration as Hyde shook his head in disbelief.

"See," Hyde began, "that's why you guys are the perverted couple. You guys are so good at it."

Fez and Kelso turned to each other and gave the other a sleepish smile, until they remembered that they were now the bickering couple. That's when the grins disappeared and the scowls were displayed on their faces.

"Ok fine." Jackie sighed, "You guys wanna be 'the bickering couple' fine."

Hyde swung his head around to look at Jackie and frown at her. What the hell was she doing? They were the 'bickering couple. Him and her. It was the way they communicated now. It wasn't the best or the healthiest, but it was better than nothing.

"But." Jackie added, after seeing Hyde's frown. Although she had already planned on adding this, "You guys have to have a really good reason behind this whole fight. So what was it?"

Kelso grinned as Fez did the same. They were excited about being 'the bickering couple.' It was a lot more fun than they had thought it would be. No wonder Jackie and Hyde liked arguing. Kelso and Fez, and everyone else, knew they didn't really hate each other.

Suddenly Fez and Kelso's smiles fell. All they had to do was answer why they had started fighting in the first place, but neither one of them could remember exactly what had happened.

"Uh…" Kelso struggled, "I think it had something to do with the Ninja Raccoon."

Fez nodded, "Yes. Oh and coffee."

A silence that was very much welcomed by Hyde and Jackie filled the room as Kelso and Fez racked their brains. After a few seconds the quietness was broken by Kelso's dopey laugh.

"Hey Fez," he said turning to the man beside him "Wouldn't it be funny if the Ninja Raccoon took like a lunch break and…"

"Went to go get some coffee!" Both Kelso and Fez said together.

They grinned largely at each other, before softening their smiles as they realized they couldn't be the bickering couple. And that was ok, they didn't want to be that anyways. They wanted to be friends again. The two men soon embraced in a 'manly' hug as they put their fight behind them

Jackie smiled as she watched the scene. Hyde felt a sense of relief as well, but his relief was more about not hearing the two morons argue anymore.

When Kelso and Fez ended their 'manly' hug, Their smiles stayed put.

"Kelso, would you like to join me in a little present hunting?" Fez asked as he stood up.

Kelso literally jumped up onto his feet, "Yeah, I would!"

Fez smiled back before he slung his arm around Kelso shoulder. Kelso did the same thing seconds later to Fez. They then set off to look for any presents that had been hidden in the attic.

Jackie skipped over to Hyde, who had gone back to the trunk a few seconds ago, with a smile on her face.

"Steven, I did it!" she happily told him, "I made them stop fighting and make up! Aren't I just so awesome?!"

Hyde smirked at her excitement. "Yeah."

Jackie's smile fell a few inches, but not out of sadness instead it was because of shock. Did Steven Hyde just say she was awesome? Not 'cool.' It was like a Christmas miracle!

"You think I'm awesome?" Jackie asked her smile inching its way back to it's big smile from before.

Hyde was quick to deny it—just as she had predicted. "No I didn't."

"But you said 'yeah'"

"I meant, 'yeah, you made them stop fighting and make up.'"

Jackie slowly shook her head with a smile on her face, "You think I'm awesome. You've never said that to me, Steven"

"Jackie I…"

Before Hyde could finish his sentence an unwelcome noise filled their ears.

"Have a holly jolly Christmas, it's the best time of the year!" Fez happily sang

"Well I don't know if there'll be snow, but have a cup of cheer!" Kelso joined in to the song.

They then began to sing together, "Have a holly jolly Christmas, and when you walk down the street, say hello to friends you know and everyone you meet!"

Jackie dropped her head in defeat. She had already stopped them from fighting. She didn't have the strength to make them stop singing too. Hyde was thankful for the interruption but didn't want it to continue.

He turned to Jackie, "Come on, Red's gotta have some chest up here with his war things." He said standing up, "Maybe we'll get lucky and a there'll be a gun in there."

Jackie laughed a bit before getting herself up off the trunk and following Hyde over to a stack of cardboard boxes, while the carolers continued with their performance.

"Have a holly jolly Christmas and in case you didn't hear, oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas this year!"

******

Downstairs in the Forman kitchen Kitty was taking out another tray of cookies from the oven. Red was also in the room, he was seated at the table reading the paper.

"Ok, everything's done." Kitty happily said to her husband as she began placing the fresh cookies on a plate, "The presents are wrapped, the eggnog's in the fridge, the stockings have been hung with care, the kids are snug up in the attic." She laughed for a few seconds, as Red just continued reading.

"Oh and now the last batch of chocolate crinkles are done!" she went on as she placed the plate of cookie in the center of the table where Red was sitting.

Red had hard that last part. He looked up from his paper and over at the chocolate cookies. They looked delicious. And though Red would never doubt his wife's cooking, he still had to make sure.

He stretched his arm out and went for a cookie, but just as his hand came above the plate Kitty smacked it away.

"Kitty!"

"I didn't say they were for you," she said frowning a bit.

Red's frown was much bigger, "You're an evil woman, Kitty."

Kitty smiled, "I love you too, honey."

Red rolled his eyes as Kitty kissed the top of his head.

"I just need to do one more thing." Kitty shared, "And I need your help with it."

"Kitty, if you send me out to buy something from some damn store, I won't come back."

Kitty laughed and shook her head, "Don't worry Red it's something here in the house."

"Oh ok. Well now you've got a slightly better chance." He said with a smirk before hiding behind his paper once again.

Seeing that her husband was preoccupied, Kitty walked away from the table and opened up of the cabinets then pulling out a piece of green mistletoe. She giggled softly as she walked back to the table and took a seat beside Red.

She held the mistletoe over her head before calling him.

"Red."

"What?" he asked never looking her way.

"I have that thing I need your help with." She said sweetly, hoping he's look at her.

He didn't.

"Well what is it?"

"Would you look at me." Kitty ordered more than suggested.

Red at last, looked away from the paper and over at Kitty. She smiled a big smile at him as she continued to hold the piece of mistletoe over her head, ready for a kiss from him.

Red frowned slightly at her. "You want me to hang that in the living room?"

"No!" Kitty exclaimed getting upset with the fact that he couldn't see what she was trying to do.

"Kitty, I'm not hanging that here on the ceiling." Red argued as he pointed to the area of the ceiling that Kitty was sitting beneath, "Do you know how much damage that can cause."

Kitty's smile was now long gone as her frown grew more and more, "Oh forget it." She said as she moved the mistletoe away from her and stood up from her seat

"Good." Red commented, "I didn't understand why you wanted to hang parsley in the house anyways."

Kitty turned to her husband and her eyes widened with shock, "Parsley?!" she threw her hands up in the air, "Of course some one like you would think mistletoe was parsley!" she then turned on her heel and headed for the swinging door

"Even the Grinch's heart grew three times!" was the last thing Kitty said before disappearing behind the swinging door.

"Because he was a dumbass." Red called after her, "What kind of person comes up with an evil scheme, goes through with the plan, and then gives back the damn things he stole? A dumbass is who."

He waited for Kitty to make her return, but she never did. After waiting a few seconds, he decided the coast was clear and reached over and grabbed a cookie.

Before he could move the cookie to his mouth Kitty marched back into the room. She smacked his hand again, causing him to drop the cookie back onto the plate. Kitty then grabbed the plate of cookies and went back into the living room.
