Hey guys, new chapter here. I just want to say Hyde might seem a little bit OOC, as he's a bit persistent and mean in this chapter (like Bender), but I think him having the gang of friends was really what gave him his heart. Without them I think he'd be just as bad as Bender, but more Zen. So I hope alot don't have a problem with it. Anyway, enjoy!

A few minutes have passed since everyone returned from the bathroom. The only one in their seats are Donna and Jackie. Kelso is stretching, while Hyde is sitting on the railing, tearing pages out of a book and tossing them around. Eric is a few feet away from him, skimming through a book.

"That's real intelligent." Donna proclaims to Hyde who didn't seem at all offended by her snarky comment.

"You're right" Hyde answered with pure sarcasm. "It's wrong to destroy literature..." He mocked, still tearing pages out.

"It's such fun to read...and, Molet really pumps my nads!"

"Mol-yare", Donna corrected with a smirk, making Hyde look at her.

"I love his work", Eric said, seconds before Hyde tosses the rest of the pages at him, though he quickly dodged them. Donna and Jackie both snickered at this while Hyde picked up the card catalogue drawer and began to take cards out.

"Big deal...nothing to do when you're locked in a vacancy.." Hyde deadpanned.

"Speak for yourself..." Kelso said.

"Do you think I'd speak for you? I don't even know your language." Kelso rolled his eyes at his comment before turning to Jackie.

"Hey, you grounded tonight?" He asked the petite brunette, taking his leg off the table.

The cheerleading captain shrugged, "I don't know, my mom said I was but by dad told me to just blow her off."

"Big party at Leslie Cannon's, her parents are in Europe. It's gonna be awesome!" He exclaimed, though Jackie didn't seem to share his excitment.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, can you go?"

"I doubt it. I don't have anything new to wear. I was gonna get something to wear today. Even if I had something, I probably couldn't."

"How come?"

"Well 'cause if I do what my mother tells me not to do, it's because because my father says it's okay. There's like this whole big monster deal, it's endless and it's a total drag. It's like any minute...divorce..."

"Who do you like better?" A voice asked from behind, and Kelso and Jackie turned to see it was Eric.

"What?"

"Do you like your dad better than your mom?"

"They're both strict." She answered, biting her lip before continuing again. "I dunno really, I'd probably go live with my aunt. Why? You like one of your parents better?" She asked, turning in her seat to face him.

Eric shrugged, looking down nervously before looking up at her again. "My mom and dad are like complete opposites. I mean, my dad's this total hardass, he fought in like two wars or something so I guess it made him angry. And my mom really doesn't have a bad bone in her body. It's a weird mix."

"Does your dad care?"

Eric genuienly shrugged again, "I like to think so...What about you?"

Jackie shrugged also with a slight pout, "I mean, I don't think either one of them gives a shit about me...it's like they use me just to get back at each other."

For some reason this provokes a laugh out of Donna. A silly, hoarse laugh, directed at Jackie. Eric, Kelso and Fez frowned in confusion, while Hyde smiled. Just his humor. Jackie looked at her shocked, and obviously offended. "Shut up!" She yelled.

"You're just feeling sorry for yourself..." Hyde told her, his smile turning into a smirk.

She turned to him, "Yeah, well if I didn't nobody else would."

"Aw...you're breaking my heart..."

Eric frowned at this exchange, "Hey."

Hyde looked at him.

"You get along with your parents?" Eric asked.

Hyde looked at him, about to respond, likely something sarcastic. But he wasn't able to before Kelso began talking, "Why don't you go ask his mom..She's the lunch lady."

Everyone gasped and looked at Hyde who glared at Kelso.

"Your mom is gross Edna? Ew!" Jackie exclaimed. Though she caught his look, it wasn't really threatening, like he actually cared deeply for Edna, but it was just a look. "I mean...cool!" She faked with a thumbs up.

Hyde just rolled his eyes and turned his attention toward the ditzy pretty boy. "Hey, sporto."

Kelso looked at him "What?"

Hyde jumped down next to him. "You get along with your parents?"

"Well if I say yes, I'm an idiot, right?"

"You're an idiot anyway...But if you say you get along with your parents well you're a liar too." Hyde said, with Donna quietly snickering.

"You know something, man...If we weren't in school right now, I'd wail on you." Kelso threatened, though Hyde didn't seem an inch intimidated.

"I'd love to see you try."

Fez came over and put a hand on each of the guy's shoulders. "Hey fellas, I mean...I don't really like my host parents, I don't get along with them...they always make me listen to Christian music."

They both looked at the foreign kid. Kelso walked away while Hyde stood. "Damn, that's gotta suck."

Fez nodded, with obvious dissapointment.

"Well what kind of music are you into?"

Fez thought, "I really like disco!"

Hyde glared at him before pulling his fist back and shooting it right into Fez's arm, making him yelp in pain. "Aye! Why you do that?"

"Disco is from hell man! Listen to like, Zepplin, or Judas Preist, or Kiss! Something like that."

Fez shook his head. "Oh no, my host parents won't allow any rock music in the house. They say that if you play the records backwards you can hear the devil speak!"

Hyde rolled his eyes, "Man, all you gotta do is slide on of those records into, I don't know, a Donna Summer record sleeve or something to get it past your parents. It's simple."

Fez thought about this, and then a wide grin formed on his face. "Hyde, your a genuis!"

Hyde smiled and patted Fez on the shoulder. "Disco isn't bad", Jackie stated looking at Rebel of Zen, who looked back.

"Yeah, squares like you love that kind of music", He Zenly remarked.

Jackie frowned at him and gave him the finger. Hyde faked hurt. "Oh...obscene finger gestures from such a pristine girl..."

"I'm not that pristine!" She defended, as Hyde bent down closer to her.

"Are you a virgin then? I'll bet a million dollars that you are! Let's end the suspense."

"Why don't you just shut up?"

"Yeah," Kelso agreed. "Cause we did it!"

"Michael!" Jackie yelled shrilly.

Hyde laughed, "Huh. So Ms. Little Princess is not a virgin after all." He said, in a clear voice to where now everyones' attention is on the two. Jackie is getting visibly upset. "So, Jackie...how was jock strap here?"

Jackie started giving a menacing glare at Hyde. "I'll answer that one," Kelso began. "She called me her apollo rocket of love." He stated with a proud grin.

Jackie turned her glare to Kelso, but he didn't seem to notice. She turned back around and looked up at Hyde. "Can we just stop talking about this!?" She pleaded.

"Oh c'mon Jackiee! Can't you give us the juicy details?" Hyde teased, bending down closer to her. He wasn't letting up. "Was it exactly how you thought it'd be?"

"Just shut up!"

Hyde smirked, "Why the attitude? I just want to know. Was it magical like you thought it'd be in your head? Was it like how it was in your little romance flicks?"

Kelso's excitment about this topic faded. Hyde's persistence on her was starting to make everyone uncomfortable, and made them actually feel bad for the spoiled princess, even Donna, who not 5 minutes ago laughed at her. He was going too far.

Hyde put his hands in the air, "Okay, okay. Sorry. We'll move on from the sex thing. Have you ever been felt up by wrassler, here? Over the bra, under the blouse, shoesoff...hoping to God your parents don't walk in?"

"Man, just leave her alone." Jackie and Hyde looked to see it was Eric who said it. Everyone in the room's eyes widened a bit, feeling something was about to happen. He could've sworn he said it in his head. He kept a rather cool exterior but inside he was shaking. The butterflies were rising as Hyde's studied him. Under normal circumstances, he would've regretted saying that, but he didn't. He felt Jackie's eyes on him, he glanced at her and saw her sympathetic, appreciative, and rather suprised eyes, before looking back up at Hyde.

"You gonna make me?" Hyde asked him. Everyones' eyes were on Eric. He didn't really know what to say. Either back up what he said, and take a beating...or retract his statement. Looking at Jackie once more, made him quickly come to a descision.

He opened his mouth to say something, but Kelso beat him to the punch. "I am." Everyones' eyes then went on Kelso. Hyde's stare went to him. He climbed up on the table Jackie was sitting on and climbed down, facing Kelso.

"You and how many of your friends?" Hyde asked him.

"Just me, just you and me. Two hits. Me hitting you, you hitting the floor. Anytime you're ready, pal!" Kelso replied back. Hyde smirked at him before pushing him, sending Kelso a few steps back. The pretty boy then charged the Zen rebel who grabbed him and put him in a headlock. Kelso tried to fight out of it but was too late as Hyde threw him across his side, with him landing right on his ass. "Ow! My eye! God." He moaned, holding his right eye as Hyde stood over him with a smirk.

"That was pathetic", was all Steven Hyde said before going back to his seat.
