"See Fez, you take all the partially consumed drinks and mix em together into one, giant Uber drink." Hyde explains as I glare at him from across the room.

We were all at the Pinciotti's because Bob and Midge renewed their vows and they were very sweet. Well, Donna wrote them so it makes sense.

On the other side of the room, Eric's slutty sister was talking, more like yelling, to Kelso. Kelso was a great guy, but if he didn't have sex almost everyday, he'd go insane. That's why he's dating both Jackie and Laurie. But the thing is, Jackie didn't know and I was upset for her.

"Kelso, have you been avoiding me?" Laurie asks.

"You kidding me? I'm right here, aren't I?" Kelso asks nervously.

"It's just that-"

I just tuned the rest out. I could tell it was going to be a rough night. It was hard wanting to talk to Hyde. We haven't even talked since the dinner party. Does he have to apologize? Is that how this works? Oh, I don't know. I'm clueless.

"Hey, take a picture! It lasts longer." Fez looks at me as I notice I was staring at Hyde. I averted my eyes and blushed furiously.

Oops.

Donna and Eric walked in as Eric had a giant smile on his face. Donna, not so much. I knew what happened then and there. I walked over to Donna and I noticed Jackie was too.

"Donna, one of your drunken uncles is touching me." Jackie said and frowned.

Jackie gasps, "Oh, my god."

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" I ask Jackie and she nods.

"Oh, my god," Jackie repeats again, "we need to talk. Right now!"

We both pull Donna away and outside.

"Alright, tell me everything." Jackie says.

"No." Donna said grossly.

"Not every detail. I don't need to know that." I shudder.

"Come on Donna, we're supposed to be friends." Jackie said.

"Aren't we friends?" I ask Donna.

"Well, yeah." Donna says slowly.

"Okay then. So.... what'd it look like?" Jackie asks.

"Jackie!" Donna and I both yell at her.

"Okay, we'll go back to that one." Jackie nodded.

"I gotta go." I smiled weakly as I walked back into the house and I bumped into Hyde.

"Oh, Penny. I-I'm sorry." Hyde sighed.

"It's fine." I looked down but then up and Hyde to notice him staring at me. I blushed and laughed slightly.

"Listen, Penny, I'm really sorry. I mean, I didn't want to make you upset. You can talk to whoever you want. And- I- I'm sorry for kissing another girl." Hyde frowned.

"Okay this isn't like, middle school. We not dating, Hyde. You don't need to worry about it." I smiled lightly, even though it hurt me deep inside.

"Yeah, we're, uh, not dating." Hyde nodded and walked off.

God, since when does Hyde act this weird?

Later on, I went to Eric's house and went into the basement. I sat on Hyde's lap as Eric couldn't stop smiling and Fez was watching tv.

"Forman, What the hell are you grinning about?" Hyde asked as he looked over to Eric.

"What? A guy can't grin?" Eric laughed while continuing to smile.

"I think... that maybe, finally Forman and Donna made the beast with two backs." Hyde smiled as I hit him, because earlier I told him not to tell anyone.

"The backasaurus?" Fez asked.

"So?" Hyde asked.

"Well, Hyde, I'm not saying yes, I'm not saying no. I'm especially not saying no." Eric smiled.

"Thank god, man. I'm telling ya I couldn't deal with one more week of that will they won't they crap." Hyde says.

Just then, Kelso runs in as Hyde lifts me off of him and I follow him to get a popsicle.

"Hey, would you like to come over this weekend? The gang doesn't have plans but I can make plans with you. Also, I wanna talk about some conspiracies and listen to some Zeppelin." Hyde smiled as he grabbed a popsicle for me and himself.

"What day?" I asked.

"Saturday." Hyde said.

"Ooh, I have to work Saturday. But I can come over after my shift." I smiled.

"Alright. What time is that?" Hyde asked as I hopped up on the freezer.

"After 8 or 9." I said as Hyde leaned on the dryer next to me.

"Sounds like a pl-" Hyde smiled and he gets interrupted by Kelso yelling.

"Except Jackie said you were totally lame in the sack!" Kelso yells.

"What the hell?" Hyde says under his breath and turns his head towards Kelso.

"Jackie said?" Eric asked.

"Yeah!" Kelso laughed.

I slowly dropped down and Hyde took me into his room without anyone noticing and we just messed around while Kelso was making fun of Eric for being bad at sex.

~~~~~

I just got done with my shift at The Hub and I was walking to Eric's. I didn't change because I didn't have any extra clothes so I had to go in my uniform which was whatever. I walked in the basement and Eric and Donna were fighting a bit. I ignored it and went into Hyde's room.

"Hey, Hyde." I smiled as I saw Hyde turning on the record player. Some Zeppelin played.

"Hey, How was work?" Hyde asked as he yawned.

"Tiring." I yawned as I took off my apron thing and threw it on the floor.

"Aw. That sucks." Hyde's smiles faded slightly.

"Is something wrong?" I asked him as Hyde tossed me a shirt to change into.

"No, I'm fine." Hyde said as he laid on his bed.

"Are you sure?" I asked as I took off my shirt and pants and I was only in a bra and underwear.

"I'm a lot better now." Hyde chuckled as I rolled my eyes.

"Shut up." I laughed as I threw my work clothes at Hyde and put the shirt on over.

~~~~~

"Forman, I've been thinking about your problem with Donna, and after hours of serious consideration, it still makes me laugh." Hyde laughed.

"Hey! Be nice to him. It's his first time." I said.

"Yeah, you leave Eric alone. Alright? He's our friend and he needs our help in this, his most desperate hour." Kelso nods.

"Gee, Kelso. Why the sudden change of heart?" Eric asks sarcastically.

"I'm confused." I said and then busted out laughing.

"Oh, maybe it's because the "Apollo rocket of love" blew up all over the launch pad." Eric said.

"Burn!" I laughed as Hyde high fived me.
