Good Times Bad Times-A Steven Hyde fanfiction-

Join Together-54

Hyde, Eric, and I were all in Eric's kitchen getting some soda. We saw Donna and Jackie put some lawn chairs out. Donna was pretty covered up while Jackie was only in a bikini.

Eric goes on about how hot Donna is and how she's leaving and he's staying. (Eric decided to stay and help out with his dad because Kitty was struggling)

Eric tried to explain Donna. Kelso and Hyde respond with "juicy". I roll my eyes at the two.

"My juicy." Eric says. I just chuckle at the horny teenaged boys.

Hyde, Kelso, and I walk out the kitchen while Eric continues to stare at his... juicy.

"Ladies. Ladies' bodies." Kelso nods in their direction.

Jackie gets up and walks by Hyde, "You know, I wish someone would rub lotion on my shoulders. Think they're getting a little red."

"Jackie, stop flirting with my boyfriend." I glare at her and hook my arm with Hyde's.

Hyde and I walk over to my house, ignoring Jackie's trials to get Hyde back. We walk upstairs to my room and I put a record on. I sit at my desk, pulling out my journal.

"A journal? What are you, a kid?" Hyde chuckled as he laid on my bed.

"Excuse me, Donna has a journal, too." I defend myself and flip over to a new, clean page.

"You got any secrets in here?" Hyde asks and looks over my shoulder. I push him away.

"Not much in this one. But there's plenty built up over my journals." I laughed slightly.

"You have more than 1?" Hyde asked.

"I mean, yeah. I've written since I moved to California. It kept me busy. So I've done it ever since." I shrugged.

"Can I read some?" Hyde asked.

"No!" I exclaimed and hit him with my journal on his arm.

"Ugh!" Hyde groaned as he laid back on my bed.

I walk down the basement stairs outside and see Eric yelling "Dry your eyes, baby, the loving's on its way!"

"The hell?" I ask as I pass him and enter the basement.

I close the door on the skinny teen and jump into Hyde's lap, kissing his lips, "Hey, baby."

"Hi, cupcake." Hyde smiled and kissed me back.

Fez gasps, "Toe ring."

He stares at Jackie's feet.

"Oh, Fez, you like?" Jackie asks, "Yeah, I got a toe ring."

"On the little piggy that went to the market." Fez says, his eyes wide.

"Steven, what do you think?" Jackie asks, eyeing him.

"Jackie, you know what I think? I think you should stop eyeing my boyfriend." I smiled sarcastically at her.

"Well, you know, I have all sorts of things now that I didn't have when we were going out. A toe ring, tan lines, a tattoo." Jackie lists off.

"You don't have a tattoo. You're bluffing." Hyde shook his head.

"Well, were not going out, so I guess you'll never know." Jackie shrugs. I rolled my eyes, "Ugh, this bra is so uncomfortable. You know, I think I'm gonna stop wearing them altogether. See ya."

After Jackie left I sighed, "Whore."

I got up and went upstairs to find some sort of food, leaving the boys to talk. I got an apple and walked my way back downstairs. An awkward silence was going on and I only figured they were talking about Jackie. I still feel like Hyde has residual feelings for her but I'm hoping they go away. I'm sure with Jackie begging for his attention, it's not helping.

~~

I walk into the Forman's kitchen and overhear a conversation outside between Kelso and Hyde. I listen carefully.

"Maybe with Jackie I was sort of impetuous and maybe a little rash." Hyde explained.

"Now, see, that's something that Jackie ought to know." Kelso said.

"Tell her for me?" Hyde asked.

"Yeah, sure thing." Kelso replies.

"And why do you want us to get together? I'm with Penny and you wanna be with Jackie." Hyde asks.

"No reason." I feel Kelso smirk. I sigh out and sit on the floor.

God, if Hyde wasn't sure about us, then why didn't he tell me?

~~

I sat on the old couch in the basement and put my head in my hands, thinking.

"Penny?" I hear a voice and the basement door open and shut. I look up and see Kelso.

"Leave." I said.

Kelso looks shocked, "What did I do?"

"You want Hyde and Jackie to get back together." I sighed out as Kelso sat next to me.

"Oh. You heard that?" Kelso asked.

"Uh, yeah." I shook my head at him.

"Um, well. You-You'll see." Kelso responses and put an arm around me.

"Kelso, I'm scared." I frowned.

"Why?" Kelso asked.

"I don't want to lose Hyde again." I said.

"I think you'll be okay." Kelso smiled and kissed the top of my head. I leaned into him and set my head on his shoulder. He patted my head and I chuckled.

~~

"Penny, we need to talk." Hyde said as he walked in my room.

"Yeah, I think we do." I agreed.

"What?" Hyde asked.

"Yeah. About you and Jackie." I nodded.

"No. We need to talk about you and Kelso." Hyde said.

"What is there to talk about Kelso?" I asked.

"I saw you two." Hyde exclaimed.

"Yeah, he was comforting me after you told him that you wanted to be with Jackie again." I defended myself and stood up.

Hyde's face went blank.

"Exactly. Hyde, if you weren't 100% about us, then you should've told me!" I explained to him.

"Penny, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you like this again." Hyde shook his head.

"Hyde, it's fine. I actually saw this one coming." I chuckled lightheartedly.

"Doesn't make it any easier, though." Hyde frowned.

"Hyde, I'm fine. I think I just wanted to get back together for the good sex." I laughed and that made Hyde chuckle.

"Okay. I just don't want to be an on and off couple. I don't want that to be us." Hyde says.

I nod, "Yeah. I get it. So we're officially over."

"Officially over." Hyde nodded.

"Okay. I just still want to be friends, though. You're a good friend." I warned him.

"Of course." Hyde smiled and hugged me before leaving.

This time, I wasn't heartbroken. I guess that's a good sign.
