Yay, I'm back! I'm real groggy because of the medicine, and I'm lying back in a hospital bed, but they said I'm well enough to mess around on my phone or my computer. And, I'll get bored lying in bed all day, so, here I am, writing :)

Oh, and one more thing:

"LIAR! If you were planing on continuing why make up a false story...just continue lol"

That was a review I got. And I'm sorry, but it really pissed me off. Why would I lie about something like that? What exactly do I get out of it by telling people I have never seen before a day in my life that I'm sick? Who are you to call me a liar? As I just said, you've never seen me before a day in your life. And what's the point of having Mitchell tell you I'm sick if I'm not? Obviously, I'm going to continue this story, so why should I lie?

And as for the "lol", what exactly is funny? That I got an infection? That I had a fever high enough to potentially cause brain damage? That my leg had to be re-broken just so it could heal properly? Is that what's funny? Well, I'm glad my pain makes you so goddamned happy. Really. I am.

Sorry. But that review just really got to me when I read it, so...

Anyway, as for those who left me supportive reviews and wished me a speedy recovering, thank you for actually being polite and considerate. I really appreciate it :)

Disclaimer: Don't own anything but the slightly changed plotline.

Note: I'm starting to focus more on my HTTYD fics, so updates are going to be irregular from now on

Also, because season 2 has a lack of drama in it, there aren't going to be a whole lot of major, major HJ moments. But, I'm hoping to make up for that when I reach season 3, especially when Bud show up :)

Eric glanced over at the silent Donna curiously. She's been in and out of it all night, and he wasn't too sure of how to cheer her up. He turned his head to her in a dramatic fashion.

"Oh my God," He said, scooting closer to her, "Did you hear that? It sounds like a bloody hook scraping against the back door!"

She cracked a small smile before it faded again, and he furrowed his brows in concern.

"What's wrong?" He asked, "You're like a million miles away."

"Um..." She mumbled, "I don't, I don't know, it's just that my parents are fighting, like, all the time. It just makes me so mad. Like, I wanna kick their asses but I can't. But... I wanna do something."

"Okay," Eric said, closing his eyes and sucking in a dramatic breath, "Take me, Donna."

Donna laughed a little, "What?"

"Go ahead, take me. Punish your parents by using me for sex, do your business and be done with it, go ahead, don't be shy! I can take it! But, God, do be gentle..."

Donna laughed again, "You didn't actually think that was gonna work, did you?"

"No, but I'm a virgin and it's drivin' me crazy..." Eric mumbled, "But that's not your fault, no wait, yes it is!"

Donna giggled, "How do you do that?"

"Do what?"

"You always make me feel better."

"Um, well thank you."

Donna smiled at him, leaning over to give him a kiss on the lips. When she pulled back, she gave him a serious look, keeping her eyes on his.

"I love you, Eric."

Eric's eyes widened, and he stared at her for a moment.

"I love... cake..."

"Do you think when girls have sleepovers, sometimes they, they play games, and giggle, and then..." Fez paused for a moment, "Every once and a while, they start to make out all together in a big naked heap?"

Hyde tilted his head to the side for a moment, an amused grin on his face. He and Fez had gotten bored sitting in the basement alone, Donna, Eric, and Kelso nowhere to be found. Hyde tried calling Jackie, but she wouldn't answer, so he assumed she wasn't home. So, the two decided to chill in the slightly cooled air outside, settling into the porch chairs.

He smirked at Fez, "I sure hope so."

"Me, too," Fez grinned.

They glanced over at the sound of clacking heels, watching Jackie quickly run up to them, a smile on her face. Hyde held out an arm when she was close enough, letting his hand rest on her hip.

"Okay," She grinned, "Kelso asked me to help him find a new image," oh, that's where she's been, "So I would like to introduce to you all the new Michael Kelso!" She clapped a little when Kelso came running toward them, a big dopey grin on his face, along with a leather jacket.

Hyde held back a snort.

"So, huh, what'd you think?" He asked excitedly, "I showed Annette, and she said it makes me look like Marlon Brando from 'The Wild Ones'," he copied Brando's voice, "Yeah, I'm 'so Brando'."

"Yeah, if Brando had a buddy named Potzi," Hyde snorted, hearing Fez snicker behind him. Jackie lips trembled a little, holding back a smile.

Kelso pouted, "What're you even saying?"

"I think you know what I'm sayin'," Hyde copied the Fonz, giving a mocking thumbs up, "Ayyyee!" He and Fez shared a snicker, and Kelso gave Jackie a look; she only stared back at him.

"Jackie, did you dress me up like the Fonz?"

"No, Kelso, I did not dress you up like the Fonz." She turned her head up in a snotty way, hands on her hips.

Kelso looked at Fez, "Fez, Fonz, yes or no?"

"Well, you know me, Kelso, I just want you to be happy," Fez smiled.

"Thank you, Fez," Kelso smiled back.

"Now, if I could just have a moment of your time."

"Sure."

"Good, yes," Fez grinned, pausing for a moment before you used a mock scared voice, "Okay, a gang of toughs has taken over our town, help us Fonzie, you're our only hope!"

He and Hyde barked out laughter, clapping a little before slapping their hands together. Hyde glanced up at Jackie, noticing her shaking shoulders and her pursed lips, before grabbing her wrist and pulling her into his lap, glancing up at Kelso.

"I can't believe you guys," He pouted, "I mean, here I am as brand can be and you guys can't even see that. Well, you can just-"

"Sit on it?" Hyde smirked, he and Fez going into another round of laughs, Jackie giggling a little as she watched Kelso storm off with a pout.

Hyde glanced at Jackie, "Did you give 'em that on purpose?"

Jackie paused for a moment. When she was helping Kelso find a new image, she had seen the jacket and thought about how it suited Steven, so...

"No, not really... but it was still funny."

CIRCLE

CUT TO FEZ

FEZ: (grinning) "Ah, Kelso, it was brave of you to come back, we gave you quite a ribbing."

PAN TO KELSO

KELSO: (holding a pizza box; he has on a huge, dopey smile) "Yeah. 'Cept for this time, I brought hot, fresh pizza, but it's only for my friends who don't make fun of me." (he opens the box, showing off the whole pizza) "Mmm, pizza!"

PAN TO HYDE

HYDE: (grinning at Kelso) "Kelso, man, I got a thousand insults and no pizza is gonna make-" (he is cut off when Kelso holds a slice up to his face, and he furrows his brows a little) "Is that sausage?" (he snatches the pizza from Kelso, growling out his words) "Brilliant bastard."

PAN TO ERIC

ERIC: (glancing around nervously) "So... Donna told me she loved me... and then I told 'er I love cake, but that's..." (he grins a little) "That's not bad, is it? Yeah, I'm sti-I'm still cool, right?"

PAN TO FEZ

FEZ: (stares at Eric with wide eyes)

PAN TO KELSO

KELSO: (looks at Eric with furrowed brows and a dropped jaw)

PAN TO HYDE

HYDE: (glares at Eric while taking a few large bites of his pizza)

PAN TO ERIC

ERIC: (stutters) "Okay, I don't know what happened, I just panicked and it popped out. I mean, I don't remember ever wanting to talk about cake. I wasn't really that hungry."

PAN TO FEZ

FEZ: (grins a little) "Cake is good, but you cannot have sex with cake." (loses his grin and raises his eyebrows) "Of course, you cannot have sex with Donna either, so..."

PAN TO KELSO

KELSO: (grinning) "Yeah, man, you shoulda just lied and told her that you loved 'er." (uses a false voice) "'I love you, baby'." (grins again and speaks normally) "See, and I don't love you, isn't that great?"

PAN TO HYDE

HYDE: (gives Kelso a stupid look) "He does love 'er, ya dope." (looks at Eric, his tone getting a bit protective) "Right?"

PAN TO ERIC

ERIC: (glancing around) "Okay, well, if I admit it, are you guys gonna make fun of me?"

PAN TO FEZ

FEZ: "Oh, Eric, love is not a joke. This is a joke," (mimics a knocking motion with his fist) "Knock, knock."

PAN TO KELSO

KELSO: (distractedly) "Who's there?" (looks up at Eric) "Look, if you really do love 'er, there's only one thing to do, man. Ya gotta dump 'er and live free!" (laughs)

PAN TO HYDE

HYDE: (still holding his pizza) "Don't listen to him, man, he's stupid. Here's what you gotta do. She said it, so now you gotta say it, then she'll say it back, and then everything'll be okay." (gives a mellow grin) "Oh, and get 'er pizza, cuz right now, I kinda love Kelso."

PAN TO ERIC

ERIC: (nods a little) "Yeah, I can do that." (reaches over and grabs a slice of pizza) "I'll just say it, and then I'll be back on top again. Alright." (grins a little before taking a bite of pizza; glances over at Kelso) "So, where was I when Fonzie here moved to town?" (Kelso snatches the pizza from him, and Eric gives a teasing grin) "Ayyyeee! Give that back-a-mundo!"

"And then he punched me in the arm and said," Donna mimicked Eric's movement, tapping Jackie on the arm with her knuckles, "Man."

"Oh my God," Jackie said, giving her a curled lipped look, "What a horrible disaster. Well, go on!"

"I guess I, like, totally screwed things up," Donna muttered, "Cuz ever since I said 'I love you' he's been acting so weird."

"Okay, wait a second, I'm a little confused. Why did you say 'I love you'?"

Donna gave her a stupid look, "Because I... love 'em."

"Ugh, Donna, that's got nothing to do with it. You are way too young to be saying 'I love you'."

Donna furrowed her brows, giving her a look, "Shut up, Jackie, you say it to Hyde all the time and you're, like, younger than me."

Jackie returned her look with narrowed eyes. She and Steven have been together for much longer! "Not in love years," She said with a duh tone before continuing, "Alright, look, Eric doesn't know how to handle that kind of thing. You probably just scared 'em off. All you can do for now is play it cool for a while, turn down the emotional heat, and Donna, God willing, he'll forget you threw yourself at him."

Donna stared at her for a moment, "I know this sounds impossible, but... what you said actually makes sense."

"Look, the sooner you realize I'm a genius, the better off we'll both be."

Everyone sat in the basement, their attention on the TV. Jackie sat in Hyde's lap in his usual chair, one of his legs thrown over the couch arm. Kelso stood behind the couch, still in his leather jacket, his attention on a magazine. Donna sat on the back of the couch, Fez in the lawn chair, and Eric stood, walking toward the deep freeze.

"Donna, check it out," He said as he grabbed a fudgecicle from the deep freeze. "Hey, Kelso," He said, waving it around as if he were teasing a dog. Kelso looked up, his face lighting up at the sight of the treat. Eric threw it, and Kelso jumped, trying to catch it, only succeeding in falling over the couch. He sat up, looking around.

"Where'd it go?"

"Perhaps it went under the couch," Fez said, and Kelso kneeled down, searching for the treat, while Fez simply grabbed it from the floor beside him.

"Jackie, let's get out of here, this is kinda lame," Donna said as she stood, walking toward the basement door.

"Yeah, sure," Jackie said, standing from Hyde's lap and following her.

"Wait, Donna," Eric said tentatively, "So, will I see you later?"

Donna glanced at Jackie, who shook her head. She gave Eric a smile, chirping, "No, you're never gonna see me again." She and Jackie shared a look before exciting the basement.

"Hah... she's a lil' pistol, huh?" Eric mumbled, turning his to head to find the entire basement's attention on him. He glanced around nervously.

"What did you do?" Hyde growled.

"Nothing!" Eric defended, taking a seat on the back of the couch, "I did what you said; I told her I loved 'er."

"You're lying."

"No, it's true, except... I may have... popped her one on the shoulder and called her a man."

The guys tilted their heads back in exasperation. Fez held his hand in one of his hands, moaning, "You idiot..."

"Hey, this isn't my fault!" Eric defended before looking at Hyde, "It's your fault! You said if I told her I loved her, she'd say it back, but she didn't, man, she just stared at me."

"Well, did you give her a chance to answer?" Hyde asked irritably, "How long did you wait before you completely muffed out?"

"Forever, man, like, five minutes."

"... You're lying!"

"No, it's true, it was, like... well, maybe just a couple seconds, but I- Time ceased to exist, okay, I was just hangin' out there, really far out there, just... hangin'..."

Hyde gave an irritant smile, "Eric contributes in class, doesn't follow directions."

"Man, where the heck is that fudgecicle?" Kelso growled, glancing behind him to see Fez sucking on one. "Is that mine?"

"No, this one's mine," Fez smiled, and Kelso pouted, looking around again, crawling behind the couch.

"Damn, where's my fudgecicle?"

Hyde shook his head with a grin, his shoulders slightly shaking.

"Just tell me, how am I supposed to fix this?" Eric exclaimed, and Kelso suddenly sat up beside him, leaning against the couch.

"Well," He said as the sound of footsteps descended the stairs, "First of all, you need to learn to handle a little woman troubles without gettin' all freaked out. It's pretty unmanly, man."

He glanced up, catching sight of Laurie as she hopped the last step, stopping at the laundry machine. He immediately scrambled up, bumping into her when he stopped behind her. She turned to him, her expression annoyed.

"Laurie."

Suddenly, she burst out laughing, pointing at his jacket.

She looked at Hyde, "Eyyyy!"

He, Eric, and Fez immediately began laughing, and they continued as Laurie happily hopped up the stairs. Kelso suddenly jerked his jacket off.

"That's it," He muttered, throwing it to the ground, "I hate this stupid thing!" He stomped on it for good measure, and Eric gave him a mocking look.

"Laurie laughin' at me..."

"But, Kelso," Eric said, "I thought we were supposed to handle our woman troubles like a man."

"You shut up."

"Oh, okay."

"You just shut up! And if anybody else here laughs at me, I swear I am gonna kick so much ass!" He looked at Fez, still munching on the fudgecicle, and he suddenly snatched it as he stomped out the door.

"That's my fudgecicle!"

Hyde's shoulders shook with laughter as the door slammed shut. "I'm tellin' you, man, that jacket's the best thing that ever happened to us."

Eric and Fez nodded in agreement.

"Great shot," Eric grinned as he picked up the basketball, "And I love you."

Donna gave him an odd look before crossing her arms, "Well, the basket doesn't really count because I traveled."

"You could never travel. Because I love you."

Donna's look turned annoyed, "Eric, you're acting like a huge dork."

A small pause.

"A huge dork who loves you."

Donna immediately snatched the ball from him, "God, stop it. Look, the only reason I said it is because I felt it... And not just so you'd say it back. And if I knew you were gonna get into such a twist about it, I wouldn't have said it at all."

"I'm not in a twist," Eric stuttered, "It's just... cake, okay, that was pretty stupid."

"Yes," Donna nodded, "Thank you. Why'd you say it?"

"I don't know, I just... Now, once it... is out there, if we broke, I mean... what would I tell myself, then?"

"I guess you could tell yourself you still have cake, I mean, we both know how much it means to you."

Eric pursed his lips, "That's nice. There's a sweet girl."

"Okay, look, I have an idea," Donna said, "Why don't we just pretend it... never happened."

"I like that."

"Yeah."

"Okay... it never happened."

"Yeah."

Eric suddenly grinned at her, taking the basketball, "Then, you did travel, so, my ball."

Donna laughed when he dunked the ball with a loud, "YES!"

"Oh, Hyde," Fez grinned when Hyde walked out of his room, Hyde wearing the leather jacket, "What a fabulous look for you."

"Seriously, you look like Marlon Brando or somethin'," Donna added.

"Oh my God," Laurie said, "Hyde, when did you get so hot?"

"What?" Kelso exclaimed.

"I've always been hot, the jacket just brings it out," Hyde said casually.

"What, no..." Kelso mumbled, and, suddenly, he was next to Hyde, trying to take the jacket despite Hyde irritantly flicking his hands away, "Give me back my jacket."

And suddenly, they were slap fighting, Hyde getting more and more annoyed by the second. He pushed Kelso away, the two ending up wrestling on the couch.

"Get off me, ya lug!"

CREDITS:

Jackie walked into the basement, giving the room an odd look. Hyde was casually sitting back in his chair, his look somehow both blank and smug, wearing the leather jacket. His arms were crossed, a smirk on his face, and he looked...

She quickly glanced at Kelso, who was shielding the left side of his face.

"What's going on?"

"Your boyfriend hit me in the eye and stole my jacket!"

Jackie looked at Hyde again, and swallowed. Gulped is more like it.

"I didn't steal the jacket, you threw it on the ground and stomped on it, stupid."

"That doesn't mean I don't want it, Hyde!"

"You threw away the jacket I paid for, Kelso?"

"Well," Kelso stuttered, "I... bye!" He quickly shuffled out of the basement, leaving Jackie and Hyde alone. Jackie looked at Hyde.

"I like this jacket," Hyde grinned, resting his thumbs on his belt buckle.

"Hmhm," Jackie mumbled, her voice cracking and high-pitched.

"What's that, Jackie?" Hyde smirked.

"Nothing," Jackie said irritantly before sinking down into his lap, her arms around his shoulders, "Just that I like that jacket, too."

"Yeah, this jacket's the best thing that I ever happened to me," Hyde grinned before capturing her lips in his own.

Finally! Aren't you glad I'm back? I know I am :)
