"man, i can't believe those guys screwed us like this." eric said.

"well, at least we still have each other." donna said.

"that's sweet, donna." isabella said.

"you know what? you're right, donna. i can't count on much in this crazy world, but i can always count on you and my best friend." eric said.

"he's right." isabella said.

"that is so true. i have to go to the bathroom." donna said.

"okay. hey! why don't you just sit your lying ass down?" eric told her.

"eric, don't you trust me?" donna asked him.

"this is getting good." isabella said.

"not as far as i can throw you, and that ain't far." eric said.

"how can you say that? okay, so i noticed the fire exit was next to the bathroom. it doesn't mean i'd use it. i just happened to notice it, that's all. it's very convenient." donna said.

"she's fallen to the dark side." isabella said.

"donna, don't you see what's happening? they've turned us against each other." eric said.

"you're right. i was gonna use the fire exit. i was!" donna admitted.

"you know why they do this? because they know we won't get them back. we're responsible, mature mom and dad. we just... we won't stoop to their level." eric said.

"screw that." isabella said.

"well, damn it, let's stoop to their level or an even lower level." donna said.

"yeah. oh, i'm with you, baby, yeah. there's just one problem. we can't do it from in here." eric said as the three of them stood up.

"if i don't make it... tell mama i'm sorry." eric said.

"you tell her yourself." isabella said.

"don't talk like that. she's right, you'll tell her yourself." donna said.

the three of them started running from the waiters and they finally got back to eric's house.

-

"okay, you guys okay. good one last night. you know, ditching us at the restaurant and everything." eric said.

"yeah, we got you so bad." kelso said.

"yup." isabella said.

"you really did. we laughed and laughed. to show you guys we're such good sports, we made you a batch of special brownies." donna said.

"special brownies. like the special kind of special?" hyde asked her.

"the best kind of special." donna replied.

"eat up, guys." isabella said.

time passed and no one felt like they were high.

"something's wrong, i don't feel special." fez said.

"me neither." jackie said.

"yeah, i don't think those were special brownies, man." hyde said.

"oh, no, no. they're special. say, donna, do you have any more of that special ingredient we used?" eric asked her.

"well, i certainly do, eric." donna replied.

"show em, donna." isabella said.

"chocolate super lax." donna said showing them the box.

"you didn't." kelso said.

"we did." eric said.

"we so did. now, maybe you'll think twice before screwing us." donna said.

"well, nice try, because i don't feel any... oh!" hyde said as the others started groaning.

they all started to run for the stairs as eric, donna and isabella watched.

"oh, no. i am last." fez said running for the basement door.

"hi, no!" fez said seeing caroline had shown up.

"i know. you're surprised to see me, right? and upset?" caroline said.

"yes, many things are upset." fez replied.

"okay, listen. okay, listen, fez. about last night... i know you were angry..." caroline began.

"yeah." fez said.

"and you have every right to be." caroline said.

"no." fez said.

"but you know what this was? our first fight. and it made us a real couple, if you can forgive me." caroline said.

"fine, move away from the door." fez said.

"so we're okay? good." caroline said.

"no." fez said.

"now let's make up like a real couple." caroline said going to kiss him.

"you bastards!" fez said before pushing caroline away from the door and running outside.

"hey, fez! wait up!" caroline said running after him.

after 20 minutes kelso came downstairs.

"okay, you guys. that was a wicked burn. i mean, it had all the elements. you didn't see it coming, parts of it really hurt." kelso said.

"well, kelso, i'm glad you enjoyed it." eric said.

"oh, i did." kelso said before grabbing another brownie.

"oh, i know i did." isabella said.

"i got my eye on you three. you're not gonna burn me like that again." kelso said while eating another brownie.

"i love our friends." donna said.

"me too." eric replied.

"no one like our friends." isabella said.

-

it was valentine's day and isabella was walking over to eric's basement when she saw a car pull up.

it was an el camino. she saw hyde got out of the drivers side and they made eye contact.

"you got a car?" isabella asked him.

"yeah." hyde said before walking out in front of her to go into the basement.

"okay, why have you been acting so weird with me?" isabella asked him as he turned around to look at her.

hyde ran his fingers through his hair and let out a sigh. isabella had finally decided they should talk about it.

"look, i'm sorry i've been acting like such a jerk. i just thought after we kissed, we would talk about it." hyde asked her as she nodded.

"i know, i'm sorry i didn't talk to you about it before." isabella replied.

"no, i'm sorry. i shouldn't have kissed you in the first place, i just..." hyde began.

"just what?" isabella asked him.

"the conversation we were having and the way you were looking at me... it felt like the right time." hyde said.

"hyde, i'd be lying if i said the kiss didn't make me feel anything. i just remember when i asked you about it, you didn't say anything." isabella said looking down.

"ask me again." hyde said making her look up at him, their eyes locking.

"what?" isabella asked as hyde removed his sunglasses.

"ask me again if i felt something about the kiss." hyde said making isabella feel butterflies in her stomach.

"hyde, did you feel anything after we kissed?" isabella asked him.

he didn't answer the question, he just stepped in closer to her and his lips found hers. the two of them just stood there in the driveway in each other's arms.

after they pulled away, hyde looked down at the girl. he smiled at how small she was compared to him. isabella was 5'4 making her up to hyde's chin. he'd always been taller than her.

isabella looked up at him and she felt her cheeks heat up. she wanted more. she leaned closer before their lips finally touched and they began with a soft, slow kiss this time.

hyde's hands cupped her cheeks while isabella's hands made their way around the back of his neck and her fingers tangled into his curly hair.

they both pulled away slowly and hyde watched her eyes flutter open.

"i'm really glad we talked." isabella said as hyde smiled at her.

"me too." hyde replied as he brushed her hair behind her ear.

"you know, it's a bit ironic that it's valentine's day." isabella said.

"well, would you like to go out somewhere, bella? anywhere you want." hyde said making isabella smile.

"i would love to." isabella replied.

they walked to hyde's car and he opened the door for her and shut the door before going to the driver side.

the two of them went to get some burgers. then hyde drove as isabella looked around at his new car.

"this is a pretty awesome ride." isabella told him.

"thanks, leo gave it to me after telling kelso he could have it." hyde replied making the two of them chuckle.

"that's probably what makes it so awesome." isabella said as hyde parked the car by the water tower.

the two of them sat in the car for a moment and isabella looked at him.

"hey, hyde. i hate to ruin our good night but i just have to ask.... are we, you know?" isabella asked him as he grinned at her.

"i'm gonna be honest with you, bella. i want to be with you, do you want to be with me?" hyde asked her as she smiled and nodded her head.

"yes, steven." isabella said before she kissed his cheek.

the rest of the night they spent sitting on top of the water tower and talking. after it was over, he drove her home.

the two of them couldn't be any happier.
