isabella, jackie and kelso went upstairs to see fez after kitty finished mending to his broken leg.
eric and fez ended up running after each other on the roof and they fell down.
"oh, see? you see that, jackie? fez hurt himself. there is someone stupider than me." kelso said.
"it's not his fault he's stupid. he's foreign. what's your excuse, stupid?" jackie asked.
"you guys are so insensitive." isabella said as she sat next to fez.
"well, i know one thing's for sure. there's definitely someone bitchier than me." kelso said.
"oh, you better not mean me." jackie replied.
"oh, i so mean you!" kelso told her.
"oh." jackie gasped as she walked out of the room.
"nice burn." hyde said.
"on that note, i think i'm gonna head home." isabella said.

isabella sat on the steps with donna and jackie.
"donna, what's wrong? you look sad." jackie said.
"are you upset about what eric said?" isabella asked her.
"i think eric thinks i'm boring. do you guys think i'm boring?" donna asked them.
"well..." isabella trailed off.
"oh, donna. yeah, a little. but it's not like it's a bad thing. the world needs people like you. you're the gray that makes the color... me... pop." jackie said.
"yeah, donna, it's not bad to be boring." isabella said.
"you guys, i'm not boring. eric and i do lots of fun stuff together. we go to the movies-" donna began but jackie cut her off.
"every friday, early show." jackie said.
"what? i get sleepy." donna said.
"and that's totally fine!" isabella told her.
"mm-hmm." jackie replied.
"oh, no." donna said.
-
"so, turns out my super sensitive guy boyfriend wants me to be a baby machine. pfft. what a dillhole." donna told the circle.

"donna, i'm sitting right here." eric told her.
"that's why i said it, you dillhole." donna replied.
"donna, the only reason i thought you'd stay home with the babies is because only every woman has done it for the entire history of time. so don't be mad at me. be mad at your foremothers. yeah." eric said.
"that is so typical. as if every woman wants to spend her life as a pampered housewife, raising kids and organizing the help. wait. isn't that what every woman wants?" jackie said.
"you're missing the point, jackie." isabella told her.
"donna, man... forman's just limited by his experiences. as the voice of a new generation of smart, independent women, you need to make this dillhole realize that a mind and spirit like yours has more options than your mothers had." hyde told her.
"yeah. sorry, what?" donna asked.
"all right, donna. so... are we cool?" eric asked before she smashed food in his face.
isabella sat back for a moment and she thought about the future. ever since breaking up with freddy she had never given kids another thought.
-
"happy veterans day. now, where have you hidden the chocolate eggs?" fez asked.
"fez-" isabella went to say but got cut off.
"leave it." hyde said patting her shoulder.
"uh, they're everywhere, fez, start looking." eric said making isabella laugh.
isabella shifted in her seat when she saw jackie walk over to hyde, who, was sitting on the freezer.
"so, steven, isn't veterans day romantic?" jackie asked.
"oh, yeah. government pawns and missing limbs... that's amore." hyde said.
"i know. i know. it's a day for people in love to have fun together." jackie said.
"are you guys sure you know what veterans day is?" isabella laughed.
"you know what? all this talk about having fun makes me want to have fun. hey, let's throw stuff at other stuff." kelso said.

"man, that's perfect. i've got stuff." eric said.
"i'm in." kelso said.
"let's do it." eric said.
"i'll only do it if kelso is the stuff i get to throw other stuff at." isabella said making kelso gasp and then leave to go upstairs with eric.
"so, steven... would you like to go to mr. forman's barbecue with me?" jackie asked him.
"no. as a matter of fact, i don't wanna go anywhere with you." hyde replied.
"no, that's okay. you know what? we can stay in." jackie said hopping up beside him and putting her arm around him.
"no, jackie. look, i told you again and again, i have no interest in you and you don't have a chance. and yet you keep thinking that i have interest in you and you have a chance." hyde said going to sit beside isabella.
"wait. did you just say that you are interested in me and that i have a chance?" jackie asked as donna and isabella contained their laughter.
"okay, you know what, you forced me to do this. i'm gonna explain my feelings to you. through a highly disciplined form of japanese poetry, haiku. my heart aches with pain. when i see you, i vomit. die away from me." hyde said.
"ouch." donna commented.
"sayonara." hyde said before walking upstairs.
"girls, never have 17 syllables hurt me so much. why would he want to hurt me like that?" jackie asked.
"because you're stalking him, jackie." donna told her.
"no. really, donna?" jackie asked.
"jackie, really. you are to hyde what fez is to you." donna told her.
"she's right." isabella said.
"that's ridiculous. fez and i will never happen. oh, god. steven and i will never happen." jackie said.
"jackie, it's all right. you just gotta get over this. be strong." donna told her.
"you're right, donna. you're right. i wish my daddy could buy him for me." jackie said.
"yeah, i know. i know." donna said.
"does this smell like chocolate to you?" fez asked showing them something he picked up from the floor.
"look, jackie, hyde doesn't like you. and you just have to accept it." isabella said before letting out a sigh and walking out.
-
isabella and fez were standing by a table talking to jackie when hyde walked out.
"jackie, get your car we're going on a freaking date." hyde said making her eyes light up.
"oh, my god. it's a veterans day miracle." jackie said.
isabella felt a rush of emotions hit her and she went inside the kitchen.
she sat down at the table and she placed her arms on the table before resting her head down.
all the sudden she heard something get placed in front of her. she looked up to see kitty with two glasses of wine.
"what's up ms. forman?" isabella asked her.
"oh, honey. you think i didn't see what just happened." kitty said sitting next to her.
"what are you talking about?" isabella asked her.
"you can deny it all you want, but you see something in steven. so, seeing him and jackie makes you upset." kitty said.
"i'll take that glass of wine now." isabella said as kitty laughed.
isabella was thankful to have someone like kitty forman in her life. she was always like a second mother to her.
a few glasses of wine later, ms. forman had a drunk isabella in her kitchen.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
