June was upon Point Place, and the members of the basement group were feeling the heat. Jackie sat, using her magazine as a fan, and sighed. The boys all had popsicles in their hands, and Donna wasn't even there. She had mentioned something about a pool and left.

Laurie was out and about, making up for lost time away from Point Place. Right now I'd kill for one of her whorey outfits, thought Jackie. At least I'd be cool.

Her ankle was fine by now, and she was glad. She didn't like feeling so needy.

" Ai, I can't take this anymore!" said Fez. " I've gone through an entire box of popsicles, and do I feel any better? No! It's like summer in my home country!"

" Fez, nowhere is as hot as your home country," retorted Jackie.

" Stop bickering." came from Eric.

" We're not," replied Jackie.

" It's just too hot," complained Fez.

" I'm done." said Kelso. " I have to cool off," and with that he left.

And then there were four.

Five more minutes passed. " Oh, I give up." said Jackie. "I'm leaving."

Jackie bolted from her seat and out the basement door. A few seconds later Hyde heard a loud shriek.

" MICHAEL!" he heard Jackie yell. Heading outside, he saw her, soaked head to toe, standing next to Kelso, who was equally soaked and had the Forman's hose in his hand.

" Aw, I thought she was wearing a light colored shirt," came Kelso's reply. Instead of frogging him, he had a better idea. Pinning Kelso's arms behind his back, he tossed the hose to Jackie, and she sprayed Kelso in the face until he was crying out for mercy.

" Hey," said Kelso, " at least you're cool."

" I see why Donna went to the pool," said Jackie.

" These remind me of the days we used to spend at the lake," Kelso told them. " Except instead of spraying me, you'd dunk me. Over and over and over."

" I can see we killed a few- a lot of brain cells doing that." said Hyde.

" You guys, we should go to the lake again!" squealed Jackie. " For like, the fourth of July or something. It's three weeks away,"

" That actually sounds like a good idea," said Hyde. " Anything to get out of here,"

" We should invite Charlie," said Kelso.

" He won't go anywhere without Suzy anymore," replied Jackie, " So we have to invite her."

" Hey, what's going on out here?" inquired Eric. " my mom's complaining about low water pres-Kelso!"

" What, are you going to yell at me?"

" No," said Eric, " I'm gonna ask you to spray me,"

After Eric was good and soaked, Jackie explained her idea to him. He nodded along, also fascinated by the sound of the cool woods. When she was done, he went back inside to see if he could reach Donna and ask for her opinion.

Jackie spun back around to face Hyde. As she took a step towards him, she felt her feet squishing around in her shoes. " Hey, I'm going to head back upstairs and change." she told him, and turned to walk away.

He stopped her. " I'm gonna go to Grooves. WB isn't cheap enough to skimp on air conditioning. You wanna come with?"

" Now why didn't you mention this earlier?" she demanded. He took this as a yes. She skipped past the hedges between the two houses, and was then out of sight.

" He went and turned the hose off, and when he got back to the driveway Jackie was waiting for him. When Kelso came back out, he got in the Vista Cruiser with Fez and Eric and they drove off. Jackie and Hyde followed.

" Okay, whatever you do, don't sit on the couch," said Jackie. " I don't want my couch all wet and icky.

" Jackie, it's not your couch." called Hyde from the back room.

" Whatever." She headed for the headset.

" I wish Donna was here," said Eric.

" Did someone say my name?" Donna stood, with the front door to Grooves still pushed open by her.

" Meeee," said Eric.

" I got the note, Eric," she addressed him. " What were you talking about?"

Eric tapped Jackie on the shoulder. She jumped, apparently too involved in her music to notice what was going on.

Looking up, she saw Donna, her blonde braid down her back, and her swim clothes still on, with shorts and a tank top on over them.

Ugh, why did Donna have to dye her hair? It looks so bad! I can't believe I liked it better when it was red! she thought. And her shoes. They're too flat.

" So, what was Eric talking about?" she asked. Jackie quickly explained everything.

" That sounds fun. I mean, when Eric and I go to UW in the fall, we're not gonna have time for things like these," she added.

" Okay, so it's all set!" squeaked Jackie. She clapped her hands together.

" Remember the last time there, and how stupid we all acted?" chimed in Fez. " Hell, I even married Laurie that day!"

A slight amount of discomfort settled in among the gang members. They remembered all the bad things happening back then, and both Jackie and Hyde were thinking about how stupid they had acted that day and the days prior.

Donna noticed the tension between them, and wracked her brain for something to say. " Do you remember all the games of truth or dare we played there as kids?"

" Remember that time I poked Forman's tent with a stick and made growling noises and he ran out screaming about a bear?" said Hyde.

Everyone laughed at that memory, but Fez only scowled. " I don't have any good memories of this stuff! I did not know my American friends back then…"

" Aww, Fezzie, I didn't hang out with them until I was in high school. However, I do remember the bear incident. How old were you Eric, 16?" Jackie inquired.

" Shut up, she devil," he said, and mumbled something else. Donna laughed.

" Donna, will you take me home? Besides, you're dripping water all over my floor," she said.

" Jackie, it's not your floor." came from Hyde.

" Be quiet, Steven," she said, and left.

" I'm not leaving because she told me to," Donna said, and shrugged her shoulders.

About thirty seconds later, Jackie walked back in. " Steven, will you take me home?"

He sighed.
