its been a few years since Hyde and Jackie have spoken. Since Jackie was younger than Hyde, he graduated from highschool and left to go to college in Seattle. He was really excited to leave and start his life fresh. Eric, Donna, Kelso all went to his going away party, but something just didn't feel right to him. Jackie showed up."Steven!" She yelled when she saw him. "Did you really think that I wouldn't say goodbye to you after all we've been through?" "Yeah, I really did. You didn't talk to me for years. I really missed you" "Well, I did too". Eric walked up to Hyde, "So does this mean that you two are dating now?" He laughed. "No" Hyde said with a mean look. Jackie had the night of her life before her ex Steven had to leave for seattle early in the morning. "I had a really nice time with you tonight" she said. "I really wish we were still dating". "Maybe one day we can, we just have to gain our trust you know?" Jackie was on the same page as Hyde when he said that, but she still did have feelings for him again. Just by the way they were acting while at the party.
It was finally morning, after the party and everyone was sad, because their best friend is going away to college for 4 years. Nobody had any sleep that night because, they wanted to have as many memories as they could with Hyde. "Steven, I want you to know that I want to hear from you as much as possible. Same with everyone else" . "I will, and you all know that. I just won't leave you in the dark. I will write when I can". Eric walked up to hyde and gave him a big hug, "Its going to be strange with you not being here" Hyde was so emotional he had no words for that because of all the memories Eric and him had. "Well, I guess its time for me to go, my taxi's here" He closed the door slowly so he could have a long last long at his friends, that were like his family that he never had. "Wow, I can't believe he's gone! We just started talking again" Jackie rushed to the window to see him drive away in the taxi but it was too late. "Jackie, I know its sad for all of us, but you know he will write to us soon look forward to his letter in the mail". Eric gave Jackie a hug, the first one that would ever happen and maybe even more from now on now that hyde's gone. Kelso and Donna had left, because they had to work. They both worked at the same resturant.
While time went by with Donna, Jackie, Eric, Kelso were working and doing school Hyde sent a letter to them.
Dear Friends, I'm just settling in here in this university, its a big place. Its not the same without you. I went up in the space needle already, and I know you jackie would love it up there. Its pretty, and the whole time I was up there I thought of you. Eric, Kelso you would love all of the parties here its CRAZY! I met a new friend and he reminds me of you two. I wish you could meet him, hes funny. Well, this is a short letter but I just wanted to let you all know that I miss you. - SH.
Jackie read her part and just about balled, "He really thinks that about me? I really wish that I didn't leave him like I did. "I'm just so happy that Hyde is settling in nicely, and It doesn't matter how long or short the letter is. I just know that he still cares about us" Eric said. "Its just hard knowing that theres not a extra person in our group" Donna stated. "The funny thing is, he never mentioned anything about me. I was the one that helped him thru things and was his first friend". "I'm really sorry Donna, Maybe he just had distractions and sent the letter without realizing it" "Yeah. well maybe i'd have a spot on that list if Jackie never came into the picture!" she ran out side upset. Jackie went chasing after Donna "Whats wrong? Are you and Eric doing ok?" Yeah were doing fine, its just that I thought Hyde and I were friends". "Well, You don't need to accuse me of anything. Him and I do have a past and you know that" "I'm not, I just thought he would write to me. Maybe I don't mean anything to him".
