"Guys, can we do something besides cruise?" Hyde asked as I was squished with him between Donna.

"It's the third time tonight we've driven by that house." I pointed to the small yellow house to our right.

"You know what we could do? We could go skinny-dipping. Naked! That's the way God intended!" Kelso evilly smirked.

"No!" I say and huff.

"Why not?" Hyde asked.

"Just, no way." Jackie laughs.

"Cmon, why not? It'd be fun!" Kelso smiles.

"Well, sure, it's fun for you guys." I shrugged.

"Because you get to look at us, and that's a treat." Donna laughs as I do too.

"What's wrong with us?" Hyde asks.

"But we just get to look at you... and that's nasty." I say and sigh.

"I am not nasty." Hyde laughs.

I chuckle lightly as I go to give him a purple nurple but Fez chants something.

I hear Fez chant "Dirty, dirty, dirty!" And the whole car erupts into the chant. Even Hyde and I get into it and bump around each other in the car.

~~~

We were all in the car, dripping wet and naked. I was in the back with all of the boys, besides Eric.

"Get off of me. I swear I will give you the worst purple nurple of your life." I glare at Hyde.

I was miserable, upset, and angry so I was not one to be messed with right now.

"Be careful! She gives a nasty one." Kelso shudders.

"Oh, this was such a great idea, Michael. This was fun. Oh wait, except for the part where our clothes got stolen, you idiot." Jackie says sarcastically as she wrings out her hair.

"By the way, Fez, nice tattoo, man." Hyde laughs and points.

I look at the corner of my eye to where he's pointing and I instantly regret it.

"Ew, ew, ew!" I shudder.

"Thank you. It is a blessed virgin of Gorbilina." Fez smiles.

"Why would you put a blessed virgin of whatever there?" I shudder again and look out the window.

"Cmon, it could be worse!" Hyde laughs and puts his arm around me.

"Get off of me." I scowl.

"Woah, calm down." Hyde laughs.

"Look, guys. We need a plan," Eric sighed, "I'm about to drive up to the house with a car full of naked people."

"We can go to my house." Hyde suggests.

"Yeah, your mom is used to having naked guys around." Kelso looks to Hyde and Hyde punches his shoulder repeatedly. I join in and punch his shoulder too.

"She's not even home, you moron." Hyde argues.

"Put on the top 40." Fez said and got up.

"Ah! No!" Hyde, Kelso, and I exclaim as Hyde pushes Fez back down.

"I see London, I see fezticle!" Hyde says as I chuckle.

"Well, what do you want me to do about it?" Fez asks and sits down.

"I don't know! Tuck it in!" I yell as Hyde puts his arm around me again and I sigh.

"Maybe I should go to California one day..." Hyde smirks.

"Why?" I ask and glare at him.

"They seem to have big boobs." Hyde laughs.

"Get bent."

~~~

We arrive at Hyde's place and Donna, Jackie, and I go look in Edna's room. Donna found something but it looked good on her. Jackie and I couldn't find anything in her wacked up wardrobe.

Jackie, Donna, and I all walked out of Edna's room and we saw the boys cracking open a beer.

"You guys couldn't find anything?" Hyde asks.

"Okay, well, no offense, Hyde, but all your mother's clothes are whorey." Jackie sighs.

"What?" Donna asks.

"Oh! But they look great on you, Donna!" Jackie smiles.

"Thanks, Jackie." Donna says sarcastically.

I walk over to Hyde, holding my towel close to my chest, "Can I borrow some clothes?"

"Sure, here, come with me." Hyde motions as we step in his room.

"So, your mom and that trucker, huh?" I ask.

"Oh, uh, yeah." Hyde shrugs as he finds some clothes for me.

"So, how long has she been gone?" I ask as Hyde gives me a Zeppelin shirt and looks for some shorts or something.

"Oh, uh, a week maybe." He shrugs and hands me some sweats.

"A week?! Hyde..." I frowned.

"I thought you didn't care." Hyde said.

"Hyde, I care, okay? We've been best friends since we were little. I'll always care." I say and set down the clothes on his bed.

"Thanks, Penny. That means a lot to me. I feel like you're the only one in the gang I can talk to comfortably." Hyde explains as he pulls me into a hug and I hugged back.

"Aww, Hyde. That's so sweet," I chuckled lightly as he did too, "But if you ever need something, you know where my bedroom window is."

"Actually, I don't. I know which house you live in, but not your window." Hyde chuckled and released the hug.

My towel began to slip slightly so I hugged it back up to my chest, "The back one in the top."

"Thanks, Penny." Hyde smiled and kissed my cheek, leaving it to burn red.

"Yeah." I said in almost a whisper.

"I'll let you get changed then."

~~~

"Ok, great, yeah." Hyde says talking into the black phone he had in his hands while pacing his living room, "No, no, no. You know. Whatever makes you happy."

He hangs up the phone then throws it into another room and it makes me jump.

"Oh, uh, hey, Penny." Hyde says as I slowly open the door.

"Oh, hi." I say and walk in.

"So, what's up?" He asks and sits on the couch.

"Oh, um, I was just gonna see if your mom was back, but I'm thinking that she's not." I say slowly as he pulls me on his lap.

"Yeah, I don't think she is for a while." Hyde sighs.

"It'll be okay, I promise." I smile at him and he pulls me down on his lap gently.

"I hope so, Penny." Hyde frowned as I wrapped my arms around him.

"It will be, Hyde. Trust me."

~~~

"Hyde's mom is gone, and he's going downhill." Eric says.

"I mean, he's sitting over there in the dark." I nod.

"He's eating ketchup off crackers." Eric says.

"I ate gum off of a parking meter once. But it was on a dare. I made a dollar." Kelso laughed.

"Crackers and ketchup are "k" words, which make them naturally funny." Fez laughs as I throw a chip at him.

"Oh my god! I can feel, like, all the molecules in my body! I'm gonna count them..." Donna shuts her eyes and starts counting, "One, two, three..."

"You guys disgust me." Eric says while looking through a ViewMaster.

"Fine, I'm gonna see what Kitty and Red say about this. Kitty'll do something, right? That's freaky if she doesn't." I say worriedly.

"You know what's freaking me out? I saw Jackie sick, without makeup. It was, like, the freakiest thing I've ever seen in my entire life. Including the class trip to the sausage factory." Kelso shudders.

"Oh, if I never see the inside of another cow, it will be too soon," Fez said while eating jerky, "Jerky?"

"18, 19-- I have the biggest hands in the world!" Donna laughs but then remembers what she was doing, "Damn it! One, two, three..."

"So, his mom's gone and he doesn't want any help-" Eric starts.

"He needs help." I say.

"Yeah, no parents would be cool! Like the Lord Of The Flies!" Kelso laughs and I roll my eyes.

"Kelso, did you ever finish Lord Of The Flies?" Eric asked.

"No. So?" He shakes his head.

"Nothing." Eric laughed.

"Look, what are we gonna do about Hyde?" I asked.

"I think we should tell someone." Eric adds and I roll my eyes.

"I already said that! Go tell your mom!" I yell at him.

~~~

"You know, Red really yelled at me, Forman." Hyde said as I entered the basement.

"What's shakin'?" I ask as I sit on the couch by Eric.

"Hyde moved in!" Eric exclaims.

"No way!" I screamed and hugged Hyde.

"Um..." Hyde takes me off of his self.

"Sorry." I laugh.

"It's okay." Hyde smiles.

"Wait, you guys, like, a thing?" Eric asked.

"No..?" I furrowed my eyebrows and laughed.

"Hmm." Eric shrugs.

"But you're my neighbor now!" I smile and chuckle, looking at Hyde.

"Yeah, we are also closer." Hyde whispers in my ear huskily as a smirk appears on my face.

I blush as I nod slowly, "Um, I-I gotta go. See you guys around."

"Bye Penny."

"Bye."
