Disclaimer: Don't own anything but the slightly changed plot line.
Author's note: I know I don't need to write the disclaimer every chapter, but I just think the pages look a lot neater with the bold at the top before the actual story, ya know?
Also, am I the only who noticed that season 1 Donna wore a lot more makeup and girlier clothes than she did in the rest of the seasons?
Warning: This chapter has implied child abuse.
Everyone sat around the basement, eyes glued to the TV. Fez sat in the lawn chair, Kelso and Eric on the couch, Donna on the floor at Eric's feet. Hyde sat in his usual chair, Jackie on his lap, playing with his fingers and the sleeves of his hippy shirt.
Hyde's lips curled, "Does it bother anyone else that these women live in Hooterville?"
"Technically, Petticoat Junction lives down the track from Hooterville," Eric said.
"Okay," Hyde said snidely, "Does it bother anyone else that these women live down the track from Hooterville?"
"It bothers me that they bathe in the town water tank," Donna said, eyes widened in disgust at the TV.
"With the dog," Kelso added.
"It isn't the drinking water, it is the water for the train," Jackie explained in her normal 'duh' voice.
"It's still three naked women and a dog," Donna quipped.
"I wish I were the Hooterville dog," Fez exclaimed, awe in his voice, not noticing the look Donna shot him.
"Yoo-hoo!" Kitty's voice called from the stairs, "Coming down!"
Jackie immediately shot up from Hyde's lap, knowing how Mrs. Forman reacts to public displays of affection.
"Don't mind me, just putting some clothes in the wash," Kitty added, setting the laundry basket on the washing machine.
"Eric, honey," She said, pulling out a shirt that would be considered too fancy for a night in Point Place, "You should wear this for your birthday, it's nice, you look so handsome in it."
"Why would I wanna dress nice on my birthday," Eric questioned slowly, already knowing what his mother was planning.
"It's your birthday?" Kelso asked.
"You've been friends with him for how long, Kelso?" Jackie questioned snottily, placing her hands on Hyde's shoulders.
"Oh, you never know what's going to happen on your birthday," Kitty said happily, not realizing how obvious she was being.
"Mom. Mom. Do not throw a party for me," Eric said sternly.
"Well listen to Mister Popularity, like I have time to plan you a party," Kitty said with her signature laugh, "Oh, and your sister's coming home from college for the weekend. For no reason. At all," She quipped before heading back up stairs.
"Well," Donna quipped, "You're gettin' a party and best of all it's a surprise!"
"I just realized, Donna's older than you," Kelso giggled.
"Only by a month," Donna said defensively.
"Good for you, Eric," Fez said, patting Eric on the shoulder.
"Good for me what?" Eric asked.
"In my country, it is good luck to fall in love with an older woman."
"Fez!" Eric exclaimed in embarrassment, Donna holding her head in her hands.
"No, they come with livestock," Fez smiled, clueless.
Hyde smirked. Dear, dear Fez.
The next morning, Eric walked into the kitchen to see his dancing mother. Lifting his eyes up in embarrassment, he went for the fridge, only to have it slammed shut by Kitty. Eric pursed his lips at his obvious mother, going for the cupboard for a cereal bowl, only to have the same thing happen, but not before catching a glimpse of huge potato chip bags. Eric begged her to not throw him a party, Red agreeing with him, but she only replied with a flustered, "There is no party!"
"Look, I know money is tight, so I don't wanna a big party," Eric said.
"I'll decide when money is tight," Red quipped, "Now, what do you want? Don't worry about the cost, as long as it's reasonable."
"Okay," Eric said, "I would like a cassette player for the car. A cassette, not an 8-track, cassette. Not an 8-track tape player. I don't want one."
"Then you won't get one," Red quipped.
"Oh, but, honey, he wants one," Kitty said.
"No," Eric said, "I wanna tape player, just not an 8-track."
"You'll get the Del-co," Red smiled, "A genuine GM part for a genuine GM car."
"It doesn't matter, it's just for music."
"See, there's your first mistake. Parts have to be compatible, Eric," Red narrowed his eyes, "You're not burning cheap gas in that car, are you?"
"No, sir," Eric stuttered, "Well, I'm going out."
"Oh, honey, could you run to the store, get a large can of frosting and fifteen small bags of M n'Ms, plain, not peanuts," Kitty said, handing him some cash.
"Why?" Eric questioned slowly.
"They're for your sister," Kitty quipped.
Eric shook his head.
"So," Jackie quipped, watching the boys play basketball, "What're you gonna get Eric for his birthday?" She hoped no one noticed the slight blush that marred her face when she got a nice view of Steven's stomach when his shirt flipped from jumping up and dunking the ball.
Speaking of Steven... he's been a lot more quiet and moodier than he usually is. Why can't he ever tell me anything?
"I don't know," Donna said, eyebrows furrowing, "Nothing seems right. I wanna give him something... special."
"He kissed you!" Jackie exclaimed happily.
"Shhh!" Donna hissed.
"Donna. In the car. Now," Jackie ordered before settling in passenger seat, Donna going to the driver's side.
"Okay. What happened?"
"Jackie, I'm not gonna talk to you about this."
"Oh. Who else are you going to talk to?"
Donna glanced out the windshield, catching the boys making armpit farts with stupid grins on their faces.
"Okay," She said, eyes widened with her weirded out expression.
"We get home from the Rundgren concert and I'm sitting on the hood of the car and I kissed him."
"French or American?" Jackie asked, eyes wide.
"I... can't believe I'm talking to you about this."
"Guys, no," Fez whimpered as Hyde and Kelso carried him by his pants, giving him a wedgie, Eric following with a snicker as they walked toward the basement.
"Okay..." Donna said, even more weirded out. Why am I friends with them?
"Look," Donna started, "I've lived next door to Eric my entire life. We talk about everything together. We love the same music, we love the Packers. Then I kissed him and everything changed and now I don't know if he's my boyfriend or if he's my best friend or if he's my boyfriend and I lose my best friend and if I screw it up I lose my best friend and my boyfriend and I now I have to get him this gift-"
"Donna! Donna!" Jackie yelled, eyes wide in annoyance.
"I solved it," Jackie said, "Get him a scented candle."
"A scented candle?"
"Yeah. It's practical and romantic. Oh yeah."
Okay, Donna mouthed silently.
At the same time, the boys walked into the basement, freezing in their tracks when they saw Laurie bent over into the washing machine, wearing nothing but a sweater.
"Oh, God..." Eric muttered.
"Holy mother," Fez exclaimed in awe.
"Hello, Laurie," Kelso grinned, trying to deepen his voice and puffing out his chest.
"Hello Kelso," Laurie said pleasantly before deadpanning, "Hyde."
Hyde rolled his eyes.
"Eric," Laurie smirked.
"Laurie," He mocked.
"Who is the goddess," Fez questioned in awe.
"The goddess is Eric's sister," Kelso answered, still staring with an open mouth.
"Well," Hyde smirked, "She's not really a goddess, more the Earth Mother Whore type."
"Shouldn't you put some clothes on?" Eric questioned.
"Why?"
"Well, aren't you cold?"
"Nope. In fact, I'm hot."
"Oh, well then why don't you go upstairs!?"
Laurie rolled her eyes, "I am waiting for my jeans to come out of the dryer and I want you to stay off my case, it'll only take a minute."
"I don't think Kelso's gonna last that long," Eric said, looking strangely at his dazed friend.
"Too bad," Laurie smirked, "It's not like I'm completely naked under this. I'm wearing underwear. See?" She lifted her sweatshirt slightly, showing off her blue panties. Kelso eyes immediately shifted there, not moving even after she re-covered herself.
"If we were at the beach, you wouldn't even notice me."
"If we were at the beach," Hyde interrupted, "Kelso would be in the water right now."
"I understand you have the wagon now," Laurie ignored him, "I wanna borrow it tomorrow night, I need it."
"Okay, but I need a favor first."
"For you? I don't think so."
"C'mon," Eric begged, pushing Kelso onto the couch, "Look, just tell mom I'm too old for a surprise party."
"But you're the baby," Laurie smirked, "And mama loves her baby."
"Well, if you do it, you can borrow the Vista Cruiser."
"All night."
"All night?... Fine."
"Then it's a deal," Laurie smiled, pinching Eric's cheek, "Baby." Eric mocked laughed as she made her way upstairs.
Kelso giggled as Hyde settled onto the arm of the couch, messing around with the basement guitar.
"Oh man," He grinned in excitement, lifting himself off the couch, "Your sister wants me." Eric looked at him funny before giving Hyde an 'is he stupid?' look. "I mean, you saw her comin' onto me, right?"
"Let 'em go," Hyde said slowly before Fez could interrupt.
"Remember, I said 'Hello, Laurie' and she said..." Kelso went on to explain what he heard, his imaginary Laurie's sentences choppy and incomplete as he had drifted in and out of the conversation. By the time he was done, even Hyde was looking at him weird.
"What?" Kelso glanced around the room, "You guys didn't see it?"
Hyde watched Jackie from his seat on the small bench in the dressing room. She decided she wanted to buy a new outfit for Eric's 'surprise' party, dragging him with her. As annoyed as he was at first, he got over it when she let him come into the dressing room with her, letting him watch her try on her penning dresses. Despite her not paying any attention to him, but to the mirror, it was a little erotic, watching her. After all, so far in their relationship, she'd let him leave marks on her neck or slide his hand up her shirt, but she hadn't let him actually see her when he'd gotten to second, just touch, so this was a treat.
She was wearing lacy underwear as opposed to her usual cotton, and he couldn't help but wonder if she'd planned this.
"Steven," Jackie's voice broke through his thoughts. He looked up at her, she was undressed, holding onto a short dress. Her cheeks were flushed in embarrassment of his wandering eyes, but she didn't lower her eyes like she usually did; she looked at him with concern.
"What, doll?" He asked, his voice slightly lowered and a little husky, making her cheeks darken even more. He slid his hands over her waist, enjoying the feel of her bare skin, pulling her closer to him.
"It's just... you've been moodier lately," Jackie muttered as she settled onto his lap, her dress forgotten as she held onto his shoulders.
"Jackie..." Hyde sighed.
"Steven, please."
Hyde sighed, rolling up his right sleeve slightly, showing off a light, hand-shaped bruise.
"It's nothin', doll. Edna just... she brought home another one, okay."
Jackie looked at him for a moment before wrapping her arms around his neck, cradling the back of his head in her hands as he leaned into her.

The next day, after a slightly violent wake-up call from a nice Donna Dream by his family, Eric sat around the basement. Fez was in the lawn chair, Eric, Donna, and Kelso on the couch. Jackie sat on Hyde's lap in his usual chair. They were all dressed nice and sitting quite stiffly, looking at Eric.
"I know what you're all doing here," Eric said blankly.
"What're you talking about?" Kelso said nervously, "We're just hanging out like we usually do. 'Cept we're dressed nice, but that doesn't mean anything."
Hyde rolled his eyes, sighing heavily in annoyance.
"Hi, kids," Kitty sat at the corner of the stairs, grinning, "I need your help with something. Jackie, Donna, Michael, Steven, uh... young man with an accent, could you all come up here for a second?"
"Not you, Eric," Kitty said sternly, heading up the stairs.
The mentioned lifted themselves up, walking toward the stairs, glancing back at Eric. Hyde placed his hand on Jackie's lower back, leading her up the stairs.
Eric lifting his eyes in annoyance, listening to all the noises coming from upstairs.
"Okay, I can't do this," He muttered, quickly heading for the basement door. He jumped when he opened it, not expecting Red to be standing behind it.
"No," Red said sternly.
"Eric! Eric," Kitty smiled, coming back downstairs, "Could you come up here for a second?"
Eric looked at his father.
"No," Red repeated.
Eric sighed, following Kitty in defeat.
"SURPRISE!"
"Wow..." Eric muttered at his parents' present, "I mean, yeah... an 8-track player."
"Just what you asked for," Red grinned.
"You made such a big deal about it, we wrote it down," Kitty smiled.
Hyde grinned at Eric sarcastically when he opened his present.
"Cassettes," Eric muttered, "Thank you, Hyde."
"Oooo," Kitty smiled, "Put 'em in the 8-track to play 'em."
"Hey," Eric smiled when he opened Jackie's present, "It's a hot shave dispenser."
"Oh, no," Kitty muttered, snatching it from him, "He won't need that for a long time."
"Of course he will, he's almost like a man," Midge said, causing Kitty to cry.
"Okay," Donna said while the kids looked at Kitty strangely, "I got you somethin'."
"No!" Jackie interrupted, hopping from her seat beside Hyde, "Donna, help me find my purse. Now." Jackie grabbed her by the arm, dragging her into the kitchen.
Eric turned to Hyde; Hyde just gave him a fake grin.
"Jackie, you didn't even bring a purse," Donna complained when Jackie let go of her arm.
"Duh," Jackie said snottily, "You can't give him a present in front of his guy friends."
"Jackie," Donna said testily, "I am one of his guy friends."
"Look, Donna, I have put a lot of thought into this gift," Jackie pouted, "Please do not wreck this for me."
"I'm sorry," Donna said sarcastically, "I guess I was being selfish."
"It's okay," Jackie said, giving Donna a hug. Donna widened her eyes in exasperation.
At the same time, Red led the adults to the Pinciotti house, having to coax a freaking out Kitty to do the same.
"Okay," Laurie said, grabbing the Toyota keys, "I'd love to stay, but I'm leaving."
"If you buy us some beer, we'll pay double," Eric offered.
"Do you really think beer will make your lame little party better?"
"Yes," the guys answered at once.
"I admit it will give you young people a sense of maturity," Laurie said sarcastically, "But it would be a false sense of maturity and that would be wrong. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going out with my legal friends to a party. With a keg. Bye."
"So, Laurie," Kelso grinned, trying to look sexy but failing, "Where's this party, maybe I'll drive by?"
"Not even in your dreams," Laurie smiled pleasantly, shutting the door in his face.
"Okay, you guys had to see that!" Kelso smiled at his friends.
Good God, Hyde thought, looking at Kelso stupidly.
"Okay," Jackie decided, "Wait on the porch and I'll get Eric."
"But it's dark out there."
Jackie looked at Donna stupidly, "And you're giving him a candle. Duh."
"Here," Jackie said, handing Donna a pack of matches she made Steven get for her for this very occasion, "Matches."
"He might not wanna light it."
"Don't say that, don't even think it," Jackie said dramatically, "Okay, when he opens it, he'll say 'cool,' or... something, and then you give him a look, like this."
Jackie tilted her head, giving Donna a pouty look she's been practicing to try out on Steven. Donna simply stared at her strangely.
"What did you get from Donna?" Fez asked.
"Nothing yet."
"Ohhhh," Kelso smiled stupidly, "Maybe it's the Big Gift. Ya know, the really Big. Gift."
A small pause.
"You guys know what I mean when I say Big Gift, right?"
"Yes, Kelso."
"I am not even from here and I got it," Fez added.
"Oh, Eric," Jackie said slyly as she came in through the kitchen, "Donna's on the porch waiting for you."
"He's gettin' the Big Gift!" Kelso said happily.
"It's not the Big Gift, stupid," Jackie said snottily as she sank down onto Hyde's lap, watching Eric walk through the kitchen door.
"Then what is it?" Hyde asked.
"A scented candle," Jackie said happily. Hyde looked at her strangely. "What? It's practical and romantic, Steven."
"Whatever you say, Jackie."
"Oh a sand candle," Eric smiled when he opened Donna's gift, "This is very cool."
"Oh, it's nothing," Donna replied before trying out Jackie's pouty look, only succeeding in looking even more weird than Jackie did. Eric stared at her strangely for a long moment.
"Are you okay?" He finally asked, making Donna jump, lowering her eyes in embarrassment.
"I-I'm fine."
"Really, cuz... you look sick or something."
"It's nothing, I'm just being... completely stupid."
"Hey that's my job," Eric joked as he sat the candle on the porch railing.
"I was worried about the gift," Donna admitted.
"Why? This is a very cool gift. I'd light it if I had matches."
"Oh, here," Donna said in excitement, quickly setting the pack of matches on the candle.
"You thought of everything," Eric smiled.
"Happy birthday."
Eric smiled, placing a shy hand over Donna's as they leaned on the porch railing. They looked each other in the eye for a moment before breaking apart quickly at the sound of Eric's drunken mother.
"This is it, he's going for it," Jackie said later on, leaning against the kitchen counter. Hyde was directly behind her, leaning on his arms so she was right against his chest, his chin resting on her shoulder as they watched Eric and Donna on the porch.
"It's his birthday," Kelso said from beside them, "She should kiss him first."
"She did it last time," Jackie said.
"What?" Kelso, Fez, and Hyde exclaimed in surprise.
"Nothing," Jackie said, annoyed, "Shut up and watch!" She gave Fez and Kelso a look.
"C'mon, Forman, go for it," Hyde encouraged.
"The door's open, we can hear you!" Eric yelled at them. The occupants in the kitchen froze, glancing around the room. "We can see you!"
They immediately ducked behind the counter, Jackie unable to hold back her giggling. Hyde smirked into her hair.
"Is he kissing her?" Fez asked excitedly.
"None of us can see them, Fez," Hyde said patronizingly.
"Eric, are you kissing her?"
"Steven," Jackie moaned softly as his lips slid along her neck. They were lying on her bed, her beneath him, still wearing their nice clothes from Eric's party. The buttons of her dress were undone and Hyde pushed the flaps aside, showing off her light pink bra. Hyde began a trail of wet kisses and light nips down her neck, making his way over her collar bone, listening closely to the soft sounds Jackie made.
Hyde slid a hand along her leg, making his way up to her thigh, slightly lifting the skirt of her dress along with it. Skimming over it, he slid along her waist and stomach toward the small swell of her breast. Jackie hummed softly, arching her back, when he gently massaged it, rubbing his thumb over her nipple through the thin material of her bra. She squirmed beneath him, attempting to rub her legs together to ease the tension between them, but unable to due to Hyde's waist blocking them. She ran her hands up his back until they buried themselves in his thick curls.
Jackie gasped quietly, the hands in his hair tightening their hold when he unhooked the front clasp on her bra. He glanced at her face for a second before slowly pushing the material aside, revealing her chest to him, nipples hardened from both arousal and the slight chill of the room. Jackie flushed, biting her lip, both aroused and anxious as Steven saw her for the first time. She knew she wasn't exactly large in this area and could only hope he liked what he saw.
"You have no idea how good you looked in that dressing room, Jackie," Hyde whispered, his lips grazing the skin above her breast, "Were you just teasing me?"
Jackie let out a startled sound when she felt his lips on her breast, nipping at the sensitive skin. Jackie arched her back, moaning when he took a nipple into his mouth, sucking and gently nibbling, while he stimulated the other with his warm hand. "You have no idea how good you look right now," He murmured into her.
"Oh..." She sighed, biting her lip again, squirming a little harder, gasping when she felt something hard rub against the apex of her thighs.
"Steven..."
I know, odd ending. But you have to remember, Jackie didn't give it up until the episode "Stolen Car." So right now, Hyde's only at second base. I'll try to make moments like that longer, but she's still a virgin for now and still getting used to intimacy, kay.
Anyways, please leave likes and reviews and be sure to follow :)
