the gang, minus eric and donna were getting out of the el camino when donna ran over.

"psst. what are you guys doing today?" donna asked in a whisper.

"we're going to the basement." fez whispered back.

"hmm. sounds fun. but you know what sounds like even more fun?" donna asked them.

"oh! playing with a bunch of monkeys?" kelso asked.

"well, yeah. but we got cable tv at my house, which we all know has the potential for flashes of brief nudity. nudity." donna said.

"cable? oh, you are so gonna win this breakup!" jackie said.

"now, wait just a minute. eric is our friend, our brother. we cannot just abandon him for nude boobs." fez said.

"good point, fez. this nudity you speak of, are we talking full frontal?" hyde asked donna.

"does it matter?" donna asked him.

"no, let's go." hyde replied.

isabella let out a sigh and she watched everyone go with donna besides fez, who went into the basement.

hyde saw isabella standing beside his car and he walked over to her.

"you coming?" hyde asked as she shock her head.

"eric's my best friend. he'll always be my best friend." isabella said.

"about the nudity thing, i just said that so they wouldn't be suspicious." hyde said making isabella laugh.

"i don't care, steven." isabella said before hyde smiled and kissed her.

"well, you're all i need baby." hyde said making isabella blush.

"can we go out for a drive tonight?" isabella asked him as he nodded.

"i'll be back here later and we'll go wherever you want." hyde said.

"i don't care where we go, as long as i'm with you." isabella replied before hyde kissed her forehead.

"i'll see you later." hyde said as isabella smiled in response.

-

hyde and isabella were finally alone in the el camino and they were driving around in the dark.

"i hate to say this, but seeing eric and donna fight like this is making me scared for us." isabella said making hyde look at her.

"us? what do you mean?" hyde asked her.

"what if something happens between us and we make our friends fight." isabella said.

hyde grabbed isabella's hand and held it with his free one.

"that's not gonna happen to us." hyde said.

"how do you know that?" isabella asked him.

"because bella. no matter what, i want you in my life." hyde said making isabella smile and kiss his cheek.

"i never knew this side of you existed and i'm enjoying every second of it." isabella said.

-

isabella, jackie and donna were together in isabella's room.

they were all talking when all the sudden donna spotted a shirt under her bed.

"bella, why is there a guys shirt under your bed?" donna asked making isabella's eyes go wide.

"uh, i can explain that... i-i, uh..." isabella stuttered.

"oh, my god. isabella, who's the guy?" jackie asked.

"it's no one special. i'm just seeing him cause i'm lonely, so for now let's just call him my mystery guy." isabella said.

isabella felt guilty saying that because every word wasn't true. she didn't just want to see hyde because she was lonely.

after jackie and donna had left, she got a call from hyde to tell her that he was coming over.

she heard a knock on her bedroom door and she opened the door to see her boyfriend and she shut the door.

"so, you sounded freaked out on the phone, wanna tell me why?" hyde asked her.

"oh, did i? i'm not freaked out. okay, maybe i'm a little freaked out. because you're an idiot!" isabella said.

"okay, i'm sorry i didn't mean that." isabella said letting out a sigh.

"why are you so freaked out?" hyde asked her as she grabbed his shirt.

"donna and jackie found your shirt under my bed." isabella told him.

"so they know about us?" hyde asked.

"no, i told them i was seeing a mystery guy." isabella replied as hyde wrapped his arms around her waist.

"so now i'm your mystery guy?" hyde asked with a grin.

"mystery guy, hot boyfriend... what's the difference?" isabella said before cupping his face and placing her lips on top of his.

"hot boyfriend, huh?" hyde said with a smirk still plastered on his face.

"you wanna talk about how i'm attracted to you or do you wanna take my pants off?" isabella said.

"oh, i wanna take your pants off after we talk about how you think i'm attractive." hyde teased.

"fine, you wanna know the truth? i don't think i've felt this way with a person in a long time." isabella said.

"i don't think i've ever felt this way about anyone." hyde said softly making isabella smile.

-

fez, eric, isabella and hyde were sitting in the basement watching tv. eric and donna had finally sorted their differences.

"elke sommer to block. elke sommer to block. oh, you stupid son of a bitch." fez said intense into the tv.

"donna... loved hollywood squares." eric said as isabella placed a hand on his shoulder.

isabella was sitting between eric and fez on the couch while hyde sat in his seat beside the couch.

"oh, forman, come on, man. give it a rest, huh? so you're single now. that's a good thing. now you're like me, man. you're free to be with lots of subpar, somewhat sleazy chicks. it's christmas, baby." hyde said.

isabella didn't take offense because they were keeping their relationship a secret. she knew it would throw everyone off their trail if they acted like they were single.

"oh, you disguise your heart, hyde, but i know you need love." fez said.

"why is that?" hyde asked him.

"cause i need it." fez said.

"all right, i'm going to work before you two start braiding each other's hair." hyde said before leaving.

"can we do that?" isabella asked the boys.

"you know what? i wish for once hyde would fall in love, you know? so we could make fun of him. we'd be all, hey everyone... hyde's in love. burn." eric said laughing.

"yup, super good burn, eric." isabella said sarcastically.

"oh, i know. let's get hyde a woman. we can have a let's get hyde a woman party. and we can have food and music and, uh..." fez began.

"women?" eric said.

"that's it." fez replied.

"guys, i don't think that's really something hyde needs right now." isabella said.

"well, we're gonna do it." eric said.

"okay, then i'm going home. i'm not gonna watch as it blows up in your face." isabella said before leaving.
