Hello, It's Me ? Steven Hyde

"Man, who'd have thought. Hyde getting busted for possession?" Eric asked, intensively working on a picture on his Etch A Sketch. "I mean, I always thought it'd be, like, armed robbery or... pimping. You know, something cool."

Kelso took a hit of their blunt before laughing. "Yeah, Hyde in jail. Hey, guys, do you think he's anyone's girlfriend yet?"

"Kelso, he's been in jail for three hours," Fez pointed out before breaking out into a wide grin. "Of course he's someone's girlfriend. He has very pretty eyes."

The blunt passed by Hyde's empty chair, and then over Eric, who skipped to finish his picture. "Well, if he was someone's girlfriend, I think it might look a little something like this." He broke into a fit of laughter as he turned it around for the others to see.

"Yeah," Kelso agreed with a chuckle, grabbing it for himself. He then started to impersonate the larger man in the picture. "Hey, there, Curly Q. Would you like to perform an unspeakable act on me, or would you prefer that I perform one on you?" In a high pitched voice, he started with Hyde's response, "Well, they both sound good. Dealer's choice!"

Fez was quick to snatch the Etch A Sketch, his nose wrinkling at the sight. "You have done a horrible thing with a children's toy."

Another hand reached over to take it, and before they knew it, Hyde settled down into his seat. "Huh. Bet you didn't want me to see this, did ya?"

"Hey, welcome back, man!" Eric greeted, quickly shaking away the picture with a sheepish smile. "We were worried about... I'm sorry. I'm just... I'm so sorry."

"Yeah, uh... you know, Curly Q is... can be... is a term of endearment," Kelso stammered for an excuse.

Fez smiled at him before turning to Hyde. "So when do you meet your new fella?"

Hyde just stared at them in disbelief.

Suddenly, the upstairs door opened, and Liz came barreling down the steps with a wide grin. "Hyde! You're here!"

He smirked as she rushed over to throw his arms around him. "Hey, Lizzie. I took it you missed me?"

"I was in the kitchen when I saw you sneak by for the back door. I just can't believe you're here!" She drew back, and, despite her excitement, looked at him quizzically. "Wait, you're here. How are you here? I thought you were in jail. Wait!" She suddenly dropped her voice to ask, "Did you break out?"

"As fun as that would've been, no, I didn't break out," Hyde said with a chuckle, keeping his arms around her. "They let me out on probation."

Eric reached out to pull them apart, forcing his sister down on the couch next to him. "Well, that's great, man. We really missed ya."

"Forman, it's only been like, four hours," Hyde pointed out.

"It was a very eventful four hours," Liz reasoned with a shrug.

"That, it was," he agreed with a nod. "And, because of it, I could go for a soda."

"I can go get you one," she offered, jabbing her thumb back towards the stairs.

Fez perked up at the mention of sugar. "Ooh, can I have one too, please?"

"I could also go for one," Kelso said.

"Okay." Eric sighed, grabbing onto his twin's arm so they could stand together. "We'll go get them all, then."

Upstairs, the twins walked into the kitchen, where Kitty and Red were having a heated discussion about Hyde.

"For God's sakes, Kitty." Red scowled over at her. "We took him into our home. We treated him like our own son."

"You treat him better than your own son," Eric commented as he scrounged through the fridge.
