Hey guys here's the next chapter for you and as always I own none of this.

(September 20 Foreman Living Room)

"Oh my god." Jackie cried and ran out of the room while Hyde looked on in shock. Married? How could he be married?

"So where I can I put my things hubbie?" Sam asked as she looked around the house. Hyde had to put a stop to this before it got anymore out of hand than it already had.

"Sam come on where not married. I mean the last time I saw you I was giving you some ones!" Hell the last time he saw her was three days ago. Right around that time he had started one of his long binges... Shit he really did get married. He took off his shade and rubbed his eyes in annoyance. He had ran to Vegas to escape weddings and marriages. It only figured this happened to him.

"You probably don't remember much of it. I mean you were really drunk. I mean you were singing with the Elvis impersonator before you disappeared." If he remembered correctly he woke up on the other side Vegas, missing his shirt and one of his boots the next morning. That had been a fun walk back to the hotel. It was right after that he decided that maybe it was time to return to Point Place. Right now he needed to get away.

"I-I need some air." Hyde mumbled before walking out through the kitchen. As he walked out, Fez came running in.

"Jackie said there is a whore here. Where is she?" Fez said excitedly before he rushed into the living room.

God damn it he had forgot about Jackie.

"How could he Donna? How could he not marry me, but he could marry that blonde skank!" Jackie asked tears streaming down her face as Donna held her.

"I don't know Jackie." When the smaller girl had told her what had gone down in the Foreman living room, she had wanted to go over there and kick the crap out of Hyde. The only thing that had stopped her had been the crying brunette in her arms. "But you can bounce back from this. I mean your Jackie Burkhart! You can do anything."

Jackie wiped the tears from her eyes and nodded in agreement.

"Your right Donna, I just..." Jackie started. "I just can't believe Steven did that to me." That wasn't a burn. Burns were supposed to jokes. Supposed to be funny. They weren't supposed to crush her heart and make her hate herself, especially when all she wanted to do was hate him.

"Knock knock." Standing in the doorway was Mrs. Foreman. She gave both girls a look before she walked over and hugged Jackie who proceeded to cry into her shoulder. "How are you honey?" Jackie gave her a look. "Okay bad question."

"I can't even show my face over there. Right now he's probably cuddling up to his new wife." Bitterness couldn't describe how she felt right now. This was white hot anger, but Kitty saw the need to correct her. Or at least defend her son a little bit.

"Actually honey, Steven disappeared again. Said he needed air after his new... friend showed up."

"So where is she?" Donna asked.

"Oh I left her with Red."

(Foreman Living Room)

Red sat in his green recliner as Sam sat on the couch. It was rather awkward between the two.

"So what do you do for a living?" Red found himself asking curiously in an attempt to end the silence.

"I'm a stripper." She answered him. Red looked at her funnily.

"Well there goes talking." He said sarcastically as refocused on the T.V

"You haven't met a lot strippers have you?"

"Oh gee what gave it away?"

(Donna' Room)

"Are you trying to get rid of her?" Donna asked and it was an honest question. If anyone could chase away a stripper from Vegas, it was Red Foreman.

"Maybe." Kitty replied and there was a pause between the woman before they all laughed. It was the first laugh Jackie had since the incident in the living rroom.

Hyde found himself driving around in an attempt to clear his head. Sam was someone he honestly thought he'd never see again, let alone marry. "How can this happen." He asked himself. Vegas really screwed him on this one. He went there to run away from his problems, only for a new batch to form.

"Shit, shit, shit!" His fist hit his steering wheel in frustration. This wasn't how he wanted things to go. He had been angry sure. Angry at Jackie and Kelso and Sam for showing up, but mostly just angry at himself. He accelerated the Camino in order to reach his destination quicker. After ten more minutes he finally hit the brakes and reached his destination.

It was the spot he had taken Jackie to all the years ago on Veteran's day. Even before that date it had been one of his spots that he came out to to clear his head after a bad day. The place was peaceful. He got out of the car and ran his hand over his face in confusion.

"What the hell do I do now." The look Jackie had given him was the worst. She had only ever given him that look once before. Right after the accident with the nurse. "This is not how I wanted things to go." Reaching into his pocket he pulled out his pack of cigarettes and his lighter. He hated the cancer sticks and the hold they had over him. Just like with Jackie. He popped one in his mouth and lit it. It wasn't a joint, but it would work for now.

He did know one thing, especially after all this.

He didn't want to be married.

When Jackie and Donna finally came down from Donna's room, they found Kelso, Fez and Charlie playing basketball in the Foreman's driveway. None of them said anything as they came into view though the looks they were giving Jackie were just as bad as words.

"So Jackie." Kelso said with a cheeky grin. "Have you met Hyde's new wife?"

"Ah burn!" Fez said though Donna didn't find it funny in the least.

"Get bent you tools!" She said as she frogged both of them.

"Ow, damn Donna." Kelso cried in pain as he and Fez rubbed their shoulders.

"No Michael, I haven't met Hyde's new wife." Jackie answered with a deadly tone. The look in her eye wasn't anything good, Donna knew that for sure. "And I don't need to meet her, because Steven Hyde has no affect on me!"

"Yeah we really saw that after watching you wait for for him after two months." Charlie exclaimed. Jackie shot him a venomous look and he wisely shut up.

"I'll prove it. Tonight. Because we are going out. And having a good time. With no stupid damn Steven Hyde!" Jackie shouted before she stopped off. The four friends exchanged looks as the watched her walk off.

"This isn't going to end well is it?" Charlie asked Donna who only nodded in agreement.

"Not at all."

"Man Jackie was fired up!" Kelso exclaimed loudly. "And I have to say it was pretty hot!"

"Yes angry Jackie is something else." Fez said in wonder. "Ooh do you think now that her and Hyde are broken up, that I, Fez, have a shot?"

"I'm gonna hit both of you again." Donna warned with glare.

"Oooh now Donna's angry! This day just gets better and better!" Fez really needed to learn when to shut up.

The drive back to the Foreman's house was waiting game of torture. How could he go back in there right now? Knowing that Sam was there and was expecting a husband to greet her. Hyde wasn't husband material damn it! But both her and Jackie thought otherwise.

Hyde was nineteen for Christ sake. People were expecting to much out of him right now. Hell the last year had been nothing but expectations. From Jackie and from WB. It was all to much for him to take in and instead of dealing with rationally he ran to Las Vegas and did a lot of dumb shit.

"Man all these year Red was right. I am a dumbass." Hyde muttered sarcastically as he came to a stop. He wasn't nervous! He was zen. He was calm. He could do this.

He opened the sliding door to see Red, Kitty and Sam sitting at the table in the middle of a conversation. Zeppelin had been laying under the table, but quickly stood up in order to greet his owner. "Hey pal." Hyde placed his hands on both side of Zeppelin's head and gave a good shake. The dog panted happily at the greeting.

"Hi honey." Sam said as she got up and went to kiss him, but Hyde turned his head and she kissed his cheek.

"Steven, Sam here was just telling us you two met." Kitty said nervously and Hyde sighed tiredly. Another conversation he didn't want to have.

"So it went like this" Sam started as she told his adoptive parents how she met the self proclaimed Zen Master.

(July 21 Las Vegas)

Steven Hyde was for the first time all week was not drunk off his ass. Though the night was still young so that could change soon. Him and Zeppelin were just chilling right now. Enjoying the serenity of his surroundings.

"Excuse me, sir dogs aren't allowed in here." A large man said as Hyde glanced away from a half naked chick. Strip clubs were the best.

"He's my service animal." Hyde said smoothly as the man glanced at the large dog who wasn't wanting to move.

"Do you have any identification?"

"Yeah right here in my pocket." Hyde reached into his pocket and pullet out nothing except a raised middle finger.

"Alright that's it you need to leave!" The bouncer said and grabbed Hyde by the arm. Zeppelin look ready to move to bite the man, but Hyde put his up hand up. The dog surprisingly enough stop.

"I'm going, I'm going." Hyde didn't want any trouble tonight, especially considering his head still hurt from the other night. Getting up from his seat and walked towards the exit. As he walked he looked at one of the many poles situated around the club. There he saw a woman. A very pretty blonde woman with a great rack.

(Foreman Kitchen Now)

"So him and Z were walking out of the club. I thought man that is one cool looking guy." Sam said explained to Red and Kitty their first meeting. Of course that hadn't actually talked to each other yet. That came later.

"Oh well isn't that nice." Kitty said to Red, but her eyes said another thing. Hyde didn't need a translator to know what she really saying

What the hell Steven!

"Uh Sam could we talk somewhere else." Hyde asked calmly.

"Why what's up dear?"

"Look can we talk somewhere else man?"

"Whatever you have to say you can say in front of Red and Kitty." Did she think that would stop him or something. Hyde was a brutally honest damn near all the time. He was just this one time trying to save her some face from what he was about to ask her.

"Alright fine. Sam I want a divorce." There it was out in the open.

"What!"

"Oh thank god!"

"Finally Steven, I thought you were going to be a dumbass." It was nice that the Foreman's were taking his crumbling marriage so well.

"But why I thought after-"

"Sam I went to Vegas, because I was hoping to avoid a wedding. Of course it was my luck something like this would happen. But I can't stay married to you." Sure she was nice to look at, but that was it. She wasn't what he wanted. He had thought that he had made that clear.

"But why?" Sam questioned and Hyde would explained it to her had he not been interrupted.

"Because Steven loves Jackie." Mrs. Foreman said in a sing-song way. Hyde shot her a look.

"Mrs. Foreman now's not the time for that." He didn't say she was wrong. Red was shooting his wife a look now as well.

"Kitty lets leave these two alone." Red was a saint. Kitty looked as if she wanted to protest, but the looks that Red and Steven were sending her made her rethink it.

"Fine." And with that Steven and Sam where finally alone. Except for the dog that would look between the two.

"So you love someone?" Hyde grimaced. Even after all this time, he still struggled using love as a feeling and connecting it to a person.

"It's complicated." Complicated was to mild of a word for him and Jackie.

"We," she said while indicating to themselves, "Don't have to be complicated. I mean I know you had to feel something while we were in Vegas."

"Sam I barely remember Vegas." Hyde stated firmly. There were bits and pieces that he did in fact remember, but they weren't about Sam. "Beside you'd hate being married to me. I'm kinda of an ass."

"No you kissed me three days ago and their was passion in it. There was something!" This chick was in denial. Either way it didn't matter. He didn't remember anything from the last couple of days and he wanted a divorce. "I'm going to check into a hotel. I think we can work this out later." She got up from her chair and walked out into the driveway.

"No Sam!" Hyde called after her, but she either didn't hear him or ignored him. Hyde dropped into one of the chairs. "God damn it is nothing going to go my way today." Zeppelin walked over and placed his head on the table in an effort to cheer Hyde up.

"I was right Z. Today has been a long day." With that Hyde stood up and walked to the basement.

He needed a circle. A.S.A.P

Taking a seat in his normal chair, which he missed more than he cared to admit, Hyde reached into his pocket and pulled out a joint. Zeppelin hoped up onto the couch and made himself comfortable as Hyde lit the joint and took a deep inhale. The effects made him numb. A smirk fell on his face as carefully got up from his seat and turned on the TV. Taking another hit. He sat back down next to his dog and just let the drug hit him.

He honestly had no clue where his friends where and he couldn't find it in him to care at the moment. He was tired. He wanted to relax and not deal with anything. That included the brunette that had been stuck in his head.

"Steven I need your help." Mrs. Foreman called from the kitchen. Hyde knew it had to be something important so very carefully he got up from his spot on the couch, snuffed out his joint, hid it in his room and made his way up the steps to see what she needed. Zeppelin made no effort to get up. The dog could be just as lazy as him.

"Whats up?" Mrs. Foreman was by the phone and she seemed to worried about something.

"It's Donna," She said indicating to the phone "There's a bit of a situation with Jackie."

"What kind of trouble are they in?" Could he not get one fucking second of peace around here anymore?

"Well they kinda of went out to a bar and..." Mrs. Foreman was hesitating. That meant it was about him. Great.

"Tell Donna I'll be there in ten."

"But you don't know where they are!"

"Mrs. Foreman it's Point Place. There's only two bars in this town."

Jackie Burkhart was going to go out of control. As soon as she saw the glowing lights of the bar, she'd known she was going to go out of control. Two months of anger had been building up in her and she was ready to let out some steam.

First her boyfriend was afraid of even thinking about marrying her one day, some day in their future. Then she left said boyfriend to take a job in another city where she knew no one. Then boyfriend shows up in hotel, giving her just a smidgen of hope, only for her ex to show up in nothing but a towel. Boyfriend proceeds to disappear for two months. She loses her new job. Boyfriend returns married to a blond skankoid. Every bad possible outcome that could have happened, happens to her.

So Jackie Burkhart is angry and she's sad. And she's ready to let loose on anyone that gets in her way.

"Another one." She called to the bartender. She didn't remember what number she was on, but it was a lot of tequila.

"Um Jackie," Fez interrupted mid drink "Maybe you should put the glass down..." He tried to take the shot glass from her but she smacked his hand away.

"Don't touch my alcohol. If you do I'll use what ever power I have to ship you back to native land." Fez stepped back in fear. "Besides I'm in the middle of forgetting Steven what's his face!" She finished her next shot and Fez looked around warily. Where the hell had Donna, Kelso and Charlie disappeared to? This was supposed to be a fun casual night. Instead he was left with Jackie the drunken nightmare.

"Okay but maybe you could try forgetting Hyde sober?" Fez tried nervously, but Jackie ignored him and instead began climbing atop the bar. This caught the attention of every guy around. All the climbing had shifted the dress she was wearing giving everyone a spectacular view, causing every guy to give a loud cheer. Except for one.

Hyde had finally arrived to a bar in order to pick up his very drunk friends. He was not however prepared for the free show from Jackie.

"No one forgets me though Fez! Because I'm Jerky Berghert."

"Trust me doll no ones forgetting this anytime soon." Hyde said from behind the crowd which he started to shove out of his way. He approached the bar carefully. "Come on down Jackie." He held a hand out to her.

"Hey man," a hand grabbed his shoulder "Your interrupting the show." Hyde was pissed now. And pissed off Hyde solved his problems violently. With a swing the other guy went tumbling down, causing everyone to back away from the bar. Now very fed up with the way his night was going, Hyde basically grabbed Jackie from off the bar and carried her over his shoulder.

"Put me down Hyde!" Jackie screamed and started punching his back. It was uncomfortable for sure, but as long as she didn't kick him he was safe. Seeing a bathroom sign, Hyde carried the struggling girl to the restroom before anything else could happen.

Luckily enough the guys restroom was completely empty. As gently as he could Hyde placed Jackie back on her feet. She wobbled for a second, before starting an attack on Hyde. Her tiny fist smacked into him and she kicked his shins. 'Damn I'm going to have some bruises tomorrow.' He thought to himself.

"I hate you, I hate you. I hate you!" Jackie shouted at him

"Yeah well right now I'm not overly fond of you either." If she wanted to shout fine. Shouting he could work with.

"How could you!"

"How could I what?"

"Don't play dumb Steven! You married that whore when you couldn't marry me!" Jackie was hurting man and he hated. This mess had gotten out of hand faster than he could clean it up.

"Look Jackie I didn't mean for this to happen." Hyde tried to explain, but Jackie was having none of it.

"Forget it Steven! Because I don't need your explanations. All I need is for you to leave me alone!" Alright that one stung, but there was no use arguing with heer in this state. Hell only three days ago he had been in a similar state that had led him into this situation.

"Fine you don't need me. That's fine." He growled and her eyes widened "But your nuts if you think I'm going to leave you here in the state your in." Jackie's eyes narrowed.

"What are you going to do? Kidnap me?" She asked sarcastically as she swayed in front of Hyde.

Jackie sat in the Camino silently as Hyde came to a stop in the ally. The whole world was spinning and whatever she drank was about to come flying back up. Hyde was pissed with Donna. How she can let this happen when she was supposed to be the responsible one he'd never know. He only hoped she was having the same problems with Kelso, Fez and Charlie

"Shit Jackie." Hyde muttered as pulled her out his car and held bridal style. It would have been nice. If only her head would stop pounding. Hyde carried her down to the basement and into his room. Zeppelin had been laying on his cot, but after seeing Hyde walk in he hopped up excitedly. "Down Zep." Hyde commanded.

"Neat trick."

"He's just a good listener." Hyde said as he laid her on the cot. She was going to be feeling it tomorrow that was for sure. He pulled the blanket over her.

"I'm sorry Steven." She whispered, but he had already left the room. Tears were flowing now. Zeppelin being the good boy he was hopped back up and curled up with Jackie who drifted off.

Hyde stood outside his room. A headache was forming and it's name was Jackie. Now willing avoiding his own room, Hyde went up the steps in search of food. He had to take his mind off the sleeping brunette downstairs and he hadn't eaten anything all day.

"Steven." Kitty said surprised from her spot at the table, a cup of hot chocolate in hand "I didn't hear you come in."

"Was try to be quiet. Didn't want to wake anyone else up. Jackie's... had a rough night. Letting her sleep it off downstairs. Hyde explained.

"I hope she's okay. She's had a rough two months Steven."

"I think we all have had a rough two months." Steven said as he poured himself a glass of hot chocolate. Taking a large sip that he almost spit up. "You put whiskey in this?"

"No... Okay a little bit." She admitted with a smile and Hyde laughed "Don't tell Red."

"Not a word." Hyde missed the small woman. More than he'd ever admit.

"So Steven, Sam never finished her story earlier. How did you two meet?" Kitty asked curiously. This had been bugging her all night and she really wanted answers.

"I don't know Mrs. Foreman, it's kinda late..." Kitty sent him a pleading look and Hyde caved. "Fine. I'll tell you."

"Perfect, while you tell I'll make you a sandwich."

Hyde had really missed this lady. "It happened the way Sam said. I met her that night as I was leaving."

(July 21 Las Vegas)

Hyde walked out of the strip with a grin on his face. Naked bouncy girls would do that for a guy. Since he'd been effectively kicked out though his plan b was to find a bar that was willing to let a burn out and his dog in.

"Crap." He had left his keys in there. "Stay here Zep. I'll be right back." He turned to go back in when he saw something that made him stop in his tracks. The blonde from before was standing outside talking to some man. A rather shady looking man at that. Hyde couldn't make out what they were saying, but it looked heated. Hyde got closer.

"Where is he bitch." He slapped the woman and Hyde made his move.

"Sick em Zeppelin!" Hyde refused to see anyone hit a woman. Years of watching random men hit Edna will do that to a guy and he swore a long time that t would never happen again if he could help it. Zeppelin heard Hyde's commanded and as if a switch went off in the dog went from peaceful pup to raging monster on four legs. The dog took off at the man, barking and howling. The man quickly noticed the snarling mutt and bolted, Zeppelin following.

"Hey are you alright." Hyde kneeled down to help her up.

"I am now." She muttered. Hyde looked around trying to see how far Zeppelin had gotten. She was safe now and their was probably a very bloody, very chewed up man some where around here. It was probably a good idea to be gone before the cops show up.

"Well later."

"Wait." She cried and then she did the one thing he hated more than anything. She hugged him. Not that he was complaining to much. "I'm Sam." Hyde sighed.

"I'm Hyde."

(Foreman Kitchen Now)

"And that's how I met Sam." Hyde finished his as he bit into a delicious grilled ham and cheese sandwich. Good god this was amazing.

"Well isn't that sweet."

"I'm not sweet. I'm badass." Hyde defended himself. "Anyway me and this sandwich are gonna crash at the store tonight." He had left Leo in charge of the store for two months. That was definitely going to bite him in the ass.

"Are you sure?" Kitty said as Hyde stood up and made his way to the door. "You could just sneak your way up to Eric's room and fall asleep safe and sound."

Hyde chuckled and kissed Kitty on her head. "I'll see you tomorrow for lunch." With that he left to get some work done.

He had only been back one day and everything went to hell. So things were basically back to normal.

He still needed to talk to Jackie, but at the moment all he wanted to do was eat his sandwich and listen to some Clapton.

Hey guys here again with another chapter. I happy see there are people that hate season 8 as much as I do. With that an mind I have taken the painful job of watching certain parts of episodes in order to add some scenes. Now full episodes are a impossible that you can't ask of me, because I won't do. And before you ask its because I just don't want to. With that in mind good night.
