Hello, It's Me ? Steven Hyde

[11] - hyde moves in

"Whoa! Sit down, Fez!" Hyde cried. "I see London, I see Besticle."

"Hyde!" Liz whined, his comment sending unwanted images to her mind.

Fez defeatedly sat back down, rolling his eyes. "Well, what do you want me to do about it?"

"I don't know." Hyde mockingly shrugged before yelling, "Tuck it in!"

At Hyde's house, the boys were gathered in the living room, all dressed in his spare clothes. Fez walked around, taking in the dirty and drab surroundings, before Hyde came strolling out of the kitchen with beers.

"So, this is your home?" Fez asked.

"Yep." Hyde threw a can Kelso's way.

Fez slowly nodded. "Well, this explains a lot of your behavior."

"Come on, man," Hyde huffed, throwing Fez a can, "This place is great. It's better than Forman's basement. That's a color TV, and I just got new vice scripts, so now we can watch any channel we want."

Eric drew his lips together as he caught a beer. "Hyde, your mom really just ran off with some trucker?"

"No, Forman. I made it up because it sounds so classy," Hyde said sarcastically, settling down into an armchair.

"Why would she just run off with some trucker?" Eric asked.

"It's springtime. Love is in the air, man."

"And she just left you here alone?"

Hyde stared at him for a few seconds before cracking open his beer. "Look, I realize this is hard for you to get your head around, Opie. But you're failing to see the upside, here. We've got food, we've got beer, we have zero adult supervision. Welcome to Camp Naughty-Bad-Fun."

Eric finally smiled just as the bedroom door behind him opened. Donna and Jackie filed out together, still not happy with their current predicament. Donna had on a tank top that showed way too much cleavage for her liking, while Jackie just had a towel wrapped around herself.

"Jackie, you couldn't find anything?" Hyde asked.

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

Donna made a face, glancing down at what she was wearing. "What?"

"Oh!" Jackie gasped as she realized her mistake, turning towards her friend. "But they look great on you, Donna!"

Donna sighed. "Thanks, Jackie."

"Hey, uh... Donna?" Liz's voice called out from the bedroom.

"What's up?" Donna walked over to the door, which was still open slightly.

Liz's face flushed as she stared at herself in the bedroom mirror. "Um... can you take a look at what I'm wearing? I thought it was a dress, but, now that I have it on, I think it's lingerie."

Hyde, Fez, and Kelso all shared a wide eyed look before jumping up, racing over to the door.

"Whoa! Whoa!" Donna threw herself between them and the door. "She said 'Donna'. Not three pervs."

"Guys!" Eric scowled up at them. "What the hell? That's my sister!"

Hyde couldn't help but chuckle, starting to back away. "Sorry, man. We were just joking."

Fez frowned, following the other two back to their seats. "I wasn't."

Jackie sighed, pushing her way past everyone to walk over to Kelso. "Michael, can you please take me home? Look, I think I caught something at the reservoir."
