Forman's basement

Jackie and Clover just arrived at the Forman's house and they are walking to the basement door when they see Eric and Donna kissing. "Gross get a room." I said pushing them out of the way. "So, Eric... what were you and Donna talking all hot and heavy about?" Jackie asked Eric. "Your hair." Eric said. "Really?" she asked.

"No. We're going out to dinner tomorrow night. For Valentine's Day." Eric told her. "Uh, no, no, no. Donna and I are going to the library to study tomorrow night." Steven said. "On Valentine's Day? Who studies on Valentine's Day?" Jackie asked him. "Exactly. Plus you don't even do your homework. What are you gonna study for? How to take over the government?" I said.

"Well, I didn't know it was Valentine's Day when I made the date." Steven said. "Date?" I asked. "To study." he said. "Right..." I said then looked at the tv. "Well, I'm sure she just forgot about you." Eric said to Steven. "We just talked about it a minute ago." Steven said. "Women. You know, I mean..." Eric said then laughed.

"Anyway, uh, I'm gonna give Donna my class ring." Eric said and Jackie gasped. "No, forget rings. You wanna score with Donna, use my super funk eight-track." Kelso said. "Anyway, I figure it's time to make it official. I mean, she's been waiting for any jerk to swoop down on her." Eric said. "And you're that jerk." Steven said. "Well, better me than some other jerk." Eric said. "Why are you looking at me? Hyde is the other jerk." Fez said and laughed.

___________________________

"So, if Eric and Donna are going out Saturday night that means we have no wheels." Kelso said. "Well, I can borrow my dad's car." Jackie said. "Ooh! It's a Lincoln. Leather." he said. "Oh! You know what we should do? We should ditch Hyde, Fez, and Clover and make out in the backseat." Kelso said to Jackie. "You said that out loud." Fez said. "Yeah, I don't care." he said.

"Hey, yeah, I know. We can go shopping for clogs." Jackie said. "Clover, won't that be exciting!" she said to me. "No..." I said. "Pick me up at seven." she said to Kelso then left.

"Hey, well, have fun, man. I'm out." Steven said. "Oh, we won't be shopping. We'll be doing it. Again." Kelso said and laughed. "Cause that's what we do. We do it!" he said. "Then I'm in." Fez said. "Uh no, you're not invited, Fez." Kelso told him. "Oh. Then I'm out." he said.

"You are such a dog, Kelso." I said. "Hey, no need to be jealous. I'm open to doing it with you too." he said putting his arm around me. "I'm not jealous. That's gross. And I would never do it with you." I told him and stood up. "You're just saying that. Anyway, later." Kelso said and left.

"Well, I'm gonna leave too." I said. "Where are you going?" Fez asked me. "Well I have to babysit my neighbor's kid tonight, and I have a date tomorrow." I told him. "A date? A date with who?" Steven asked me. "Honestly, I don't know. But I'll find someone." I said. "I can go out with you." Fez said to me. "No, Fez." I said. "Oh." he said and sat down.

"You're gonna go on a date with a random person?" Steven said. "Yeah." I replied. "That's stupid." he said. "You were going to the library with Donna to 'study' on Valentine's Day." I said. "So?" he said. "You called it a date. If you were going on a study date with Donna, then I can go out with a random guy." I told him. "I don't even know why I'm explaining myself to you." I said.

"Well I'm not going to the library anymore. So, maybe you and I could go out?" Steven said. "Absolutely not." I said. "Why not?" he asked and stood up. "Because you broke her heart. How many times do I have to tell you this?" Fez said and we both looked at him. "She doesn't want to go out with you because her feelings for you might come back and she is trying to get over you. She would rather go out with a random guy... or me." he said looking at me. "No." I said.

"Fine. She knows you like Donna and she doesn't want to be your second choice." Fez said. "But she's not." Steven said. "Yes, I am. You can't go out with Donna 'cause she's going out with Eric, so you decide to ask me. That's literally the definition of second choice." I told him. "She is right." Fez said. "Thank you, Fez. And also, shut up!" I said and he quickly sat down. "Now, I have to go, goodbye Fez. Hyde." I said then left.

Hyde's pov

After Clover leaves Fez sat down on the couch. "Well, it looks like it's just you and me, little buddy." Fez said. "Yeah, Fez. Which is really wrong, man. 'Cause I had plans with Donna. Until Forman snaked me. Then I could've had plans with Clover but she's mad at me." I said. "Who would've thought Donna would go to a nice restaurant than a smelly, old library?" he said sarcastically. "And who would've thought Clover would go out with a random guy than a guy who broke her heart?" he said then laughed and I stared at him. "You will laugh later."

The next day - Valentine's Day

It's Valentine's Day and Clover is getting ready for her date with a guy she met at the hub. As she is walking down the stairs she hears a knock on her front door. "I'll get it." I said to whoever was in the house and opened the door. "Wow... you look..." Steven said. "Hyde, what are you doing here? My date is going to be here soon." I said.

"You were serious about going out on a date?" Steven said walking in through the door. "Yes... did you think I was joking?" I asked him. "Kinda. I thought you were just saying that to make me jealous." he said sitting on the couch. "Make you jealous?" I asked. "Hyde, I'm trying to get over you, if I wanted to make you jealous I'd just go out with someone you hate." I told him. "So to answer your question. No, i wasn't trying to make you jealous." I said."Ok..." Steven said. "Why are you here?" I asked him again. "I wanted to talk to you about something." he said.

"Hey Clover, the door was open so I just came in." Malachi said. "Wow. You look beautiful." he said looking at me. "Thank you. You look good too." I said smiling. "You ready to go?" he asked. "Yeah, I'm ready." I said and grabbed my jacket.

"Who's this?" he asked pointing to Steven. "I'm Steven. Who are you?" Steven asked Malachi. "I'm Malachi. Did interrupt something?" he asked me. "Yes-" Steven said. "No! Malachi this is Hyde. Hyde this is Malachi, my date. And we should get going because we will be late." I said then grabbed his hand. "But Clover-" Steven said. "Bye! Lock the door after you leave." I said shutting the door.

__________________________

After all the girls got home from their dates they were all on the phone talking to each other. "I feel so much more closer to him now. I hope we will be together forever." Jackie said. "Forever? Did you tell him that you guys would be together forever?" I asked her. "Of course I did." she said. "Knowing Kelso, he's gonna screw it up." Donna said. "Don't say that. I believe in Michael." Jackie said.

"As I've said before, you're a big dreamer Jackie." I said. "Anyways, how was your date Clover?" Donna asked me. "Oh! Please tell me. How did it go with Malachi?" Jackie asked. "It went really well. He is so romantic." I told them. "Where did he take you?" Donna asked. "I forgot the name but it was like a really fancy restaurant." I said. "That's good. You deserve it, Cleo." she said. "Thank you, Donna." I said.

"So, are you going out with him again?" Jackie asked. "Yeah. I actually like him." I said. "Now, enough about me. Donna how was your date with Eric?" I asked her. "It was good... at first." Donna said. "What do you mean?" I asked. "Did Eric screw it up?" Jackie asked. "No. I did." Donna said. "Why do you always have to screw things up for me! What did you do?" Jackie said. "Jackie, this isn't about you." I said.

"Well, we got to the restaurant, then we were looking at the menu, and then the waiter asked us if we wanted a drink, and I got iced tea." Donna said. "You ordered iced tea, so what?" I said. "It was a Long Island iced tea." she said. "Oh god. Donna, why would you order that?" Jackie asked. "I didn't know!" Donna said. "How could you not know?" I asked. "I asked him for an iced tea, not a Long Island iced tea." she said.

"Anyways, I was really drunk, and then Hyde showed up." Donna said. "What?" Jackie and I said. "Why was he there?" I asked her. "Well... I think he told me he has feelings for me." Donna said. "While you were on a date with Eric? That's so dirty." Jackie said. "Yeah. Sorry Clover." she said. "No problem. Honestly, I'm trying to get over him anyway." I said.

"What happened next?" Jackie asked. "Me and Eric left the restaurant and went to the hub for some coffee and then he asked me to be his girlfriend and gave me his class ring." Donna told us. "Oh my god! I'm so happy for you, Donna." I said.

"You better not mess this up for me, Donna." Jackie said. "What?" Donna said. "Jackie. It's not about you!" I said to her. "Believe what you want Cleo." she said. "But anyways, I'm so happy for you, Donna." Jackie said. "Thanks, guys. I'm gonna go to sleep. Goodnight." Donna said. "Goodnight." we said then we all hung up.
