Eric walked back into the basement after spending the day with Donna. He was expecting to find Jackie waiting her to tell him everything he did wrong today. But, the basement was empty. "One day we will be together again." He heard her distinct voice coming from the backroom that was Hyde's bedroom. He walked back to the doorway to see Jackie sitting next to him. "Everything okay back here?' He asked as he looked at, what he hated to admit, his best friends. Jackie just looked up at him.
"Yep." Steven said as he looked at Eric. "You just get back from Donna's?" Hyde asked him.
"Yeah." Eric said as he moved farther into the room.
"Steven." Jackie mumbled as she cuddled up next to the man she loved.
"Do you know what today is?" Hyde asked as he looked up at Eric. He was doing something he hadn't done since the day after the funeral he was opening up. Eric could feel it. Eric sat down in the chair in front of his childhood friend.
"You remembered." Jackie said as she looked at Steven. Eric stopped himself from letting the words remembered what escape his mouth. He just shook his head.
"Jackie and I would have been together for two years today." Steven said as he looked down at the ground.
"I thought anniversaries were nothing, but dates for you." Jackie said softly. Eric was unsure of what to say so he repeated the spirits words. "I thought anniversaries were nothing, but dates to you."
"Something was different about Jacks." He said as he looked at Eric. "I was going to marry that woman." No one would have thought those words would ever come out of Steven Hyde's mouth, but they did.
"I can't do this." Jackie said before she disappeared.
"She's gone again isn't she?" Hyde asked Eric. He just sat there frozen. He didn't know what to say.
A/N: Okay I know this is super short, but I just had to add this in. So let me know what you think.
