Hello, It's Me ? Steven Hyde

"Okay, guys," Jackie said, strolling into the basement with her Cheese Palace uniform on, "I brought cheese samples from work."

Hyde glanced at the bag warily. "What's wrong with them?"

"Nothing." She paused, then rolled her eyes. "Well, they were in the trash."

Hyde shared a look with Fez before nodding. "Cool."

"Bring it over," Fez urged.

"All you guys," Liz said, holding up her hands while making room for Jackie on the couch.

The back door opened once more, and Kelso walked in, immediately heading towards the freezer. "Hey. You know how my brother locks me in a closet with a pillowcase full of dead fish until the stink makes me cry?"

"He what?" Liz shot him a look.

Jackie leaned over to her, subtly muttering, "It's best if you don't ask about it."

"Yeah." Kelso nodded at Liz as he pulled out a popsicle. "Well, while I was in there, I heard him make a phone call. And it seems that's he got a little surprise for Donna tonight. The honeymoon suite at that French motel in Kenosha."

"The Le Motel?" Jackie asked.

"Oh, no, it sounds like Donna and Casey are going to le do it," Fez realized with a straight face.

Kelso chuckled at the joke. "Yeah. Eric's gonna freak out when we tell him."

Liz raised an eyebrow. "Why would we tell him?"

"To watch him freak out."

"Kelso, he's gonna take it really hard. I'm sorry, but we all just need to keep our mouths shut."

"Wow," Kelso breathed, eyeing her up annoyingly. "It's very considerate of Eric's feelings."

"Well, I am his twin." She shrugged.

Hyde held out his hand. "I actually agree with Lizzie on this. I just think that we all need to zip it." With a stern gaze, he pointed at Fez. "Especially you."

"Aww, what? You too, Hyde?" Kelso's mouth fell open in shock before stomping his foot down. "What the hell, man!"

Fez frowned at Hyde. "Hey, I can keep a secret."

"Fez, you basically told everyone right away when Hyde and I slept together for the first time," Liz pointed out with a sigh.

"Well... well..." he stammered, eyes darting around, "I didn't tell Kelso that Hyde took five bucks from his wallet."

Kelso gasped, pulling the popsicle out of his mouth. "Hyde!"

Jackie shot a look around the room. "None of you boys can keep a secret."

"Well, you sure can, especially when it's about you kissing other guys," Kelso shot back.

Hyde and Liz let out a collective sigh at the mention. Jackie had been jealous ever since Kelso got a modeling job at the local department store, and it eventually led to her kissing a coworker. Ever since, the two had been at each other's throats over it.

"Michael, it was one guy from work," Jackie reminded him, getting to her feet. "And I told you I'm sorry. God, how long are you gonna keep throwing that in my face?"

"Well, how long are you gonna keep throwing your face in other guys' faces?" Despite the stern look she shot him, a smile crept onto his face. "Wow, that was clever. I think I won that. Yeah!"

Liz glanced over from the fridge to see her brother stroll in the back door. With a subtle smile, she greeted, "Hey, Eric."
