Disclaimer: can’t sue this gal, I don’t own not one thing. Although I’d love to own a piece of Hyde.

Author’s Note: this is my all ORIGINAL VERSION of how J/H got together. It's an alternate universe fic, so bare with me. If you like, let me know in your reviews. I live for them you guys, and thanks for the reviews on my last fic. You all rock. Oh by the way I added my own character, his name is Pacey. He's not romantically inclined with Jackie from what I've wrote so far but that could have a tendency to change. I don't know, haven't wrote that far ahead yet. But he is my own original created character and will show up in chapter 2. this story is different from my other stories, in the sense that its starts out set with Jackie in kinder garden and Hyde in second and progress from there by skipping two or three years ahead. Once they hit high school though it will all even out, this is an experimental fic. Meaning that i will only continue if a decent amount of you think that i should, now i don't ask for much. To me, if as little as four people review this chapter saying they like it or whatever; thats a sign to continue. Well, i hope you like it and as always please don't forget to R&R. :) ....

ATTENION READERS: THIS IS A STORY I WROTE 3 YEARS AGO. I reread it recently and noticed a bunch or grammar errors and want to fix them. I also realized there is SO MUCH MORE that I could add to this story. I am going to rewrite every chapter one by one SO BARE WITH ME ON THIS. Some will have a lot of noticeable differences and others will only have a few. This being said, enjoy and PLEASE REVIEW!! =)

Chapter #1

(Scenario; Jackie-kinder garden, Hyde-first grade)

“ mommy, mommy! That mean Steven boy is teasing me again!”, cries Jackie as she runs into her house, tears staining her cheeks.

“ Jackie, honey. Mommy is on the phone.”, calls Mrs Burkhart in an attempt to hush her daughter.

Tugging on Mrs Burkhart's arm, Jackie stomps her feet,” but mom, he chased me all the way home today!”

Pouring Jackie a glass of milk, Mrs Burkhart hands her a plate of cookies,” Jackie, have you ever considered that maybe he just likes you? And thats just his way of showing you?”

“ ewww! Thats gross, he's scruffy and dirty!”, screams Jackie with a look of pure and utter disgust written all over her face.

“ oh Jackie, give the poor fellow a chance. Maybe he's a sweet boy once you get to know him.”, reasons Mrs Burkhart with a chuckle at her daughters tempered reaction. ...

(the next day at school)

“ give me back my dolly Steven Hyde!”, yells Jackie as she glares up at him.

“ why would I want to go and do that?” asks Hyde in a teasing tone, holding the doll high above Jackie's head.

Grabbing at Hyde, Jackie jumps for her doll with no such luck,” give it to me Steven!”

Smirking down at Jackie, Hyde runs away from her,” OK, but first you have to catch me Jackie.”

“ I'm not going to chase you Steven.”, says Jackie defiantly before folding her arms across her chest in a huff.

“ then just how do you expect to get your dolly back?”, inquires Hyde as he teases Jackie by running circles around her before taking off again.

Groaning in response, Jackie sprints off after Hyde,” give me back my doll Steven Hyde or I'm telling and i mean it!”

Tripping as Jackie tugs his arm, Hyde rolls down a small hill landing beside her in a heap,” hey, you tripped me! What gives?”

“ owww! Steven, I scraped my knee.”, sobs Jackie as she holds the injured leg in question.

“ whoopy doo, what are you going to do cry? ...Oh, Jackie. Don't cry, come on.” pleads Hyde trying to think of way to stop her tears.

Hugging her knees to her chest, Jackie pouts to herself,” leave me alone Steven Hyde.”

Scooting toward Jackie now, Hyde places a hand on her back gently,” let me see it Jacks, please?”

“ no! Its all your fault that it even happened!” snaps Jackie as she violently pushes away from Hyde.

“ I'm sorry, here...take this.”, offers Hyde as he digs in his pocket and pulls out a blue hanker chief.

Watching as Hyde wraps a hanker chief around her knee, Jackie looks at him curiously,” why are you being so nice to me?”

Grabbing hold of Jackie's hand, Hyde helps her up,” I didn't mean for you to scrape your knee, I was only playing around Jackie. Honest.”

“ its OK, I feel better now.”, says Jackie with a bright smile that makes her eyes light up.

“ where are you going?”, questions Hyde desperately as Jackie turns and walks off.

Brushing some dirt off of her, Jackie fixes her shirt nicely,” home, school is over for today remember?.”

Following Jackie out of the school yard, Hyde catches up with her,” wait, here...this is your doll Jacks.”

“ your giving it back to me?”, ponders Jackie with a look of both surprise and confusion on her face.

“ yeah, why would I want to keep it?”, jokes Hyde as he walks with Jackie down the streets of Point Place.

Cautiously taking her doll back, Jackie smiles up at Hyde,” thanks Steven.”

Touching his lips after Jackie gives him a quick kiss, Hyde stares at her in a dumb founded manner,” what was that for?”

“ for being so nice to me just before.” confesses Jackie as her face turns three different shades of red from blushing.

“ come on, I'll walk you home Jackie. That way no one will bother you.”, offers smile with a crooked smile after taking hold of Jackie's hand.

“ wow, thanks Steven. Sometimes this mean boy Michael tries to bully me out of my leftover lunch money.”, admits Jackie with a frown taking over her features. With a sad sigh she kicks at a pebble on the sidewalk in front of her.

“ next time he tries to bother you, he'll have me to deal with me Jackie. You can count on that.”, reassures Hyde while holding onto Jackie hand a little more tightly. A sense of protectiveness overcoming him, Hyde places his free arm around Jackie causing his to smile up at him in return. .....

(back home; Jackie's place)

“ Jackie, what happened to your knee?”, exclaims Mrs Burkhart as her daughter limbs inside.

“ Ifell down a hill while I was chasing Steven around earlier.”, confides Jackie before sneaking some cookies out of the cookie jar.

Pouring herself some tea, Mrs Burkhart take a small sip,” why in the world were you chasing that Steven boy?”

Stuffing the hanker chief Hyde gave her into her pocket, Jackie grabs herself a soda out of the refrigerator,” he took my dolly from me.”

“ if this boy is picking on you, I could have a talk with the principal for you Jackie.”, informs Mrs Burkhart as she sets her steaming cup of tea down to cool a bit.

“ no, mommy...we were just playing.”, assures Jackie quickly as she munches on a cookie.

“ Ok honey, just checking.”, confides Mrs Burkhart with a concerned look still on her face. ...

(Monday at school; lunch time)

“ Hi Jackie....hey, how come you aren't eating anything for lunch?”, questions Hyde in curiosity when he notices Jackie has no lunch with her.

“ Idon't want to talk about it.”, mumbles Jackie in a sad tone as she turns her back to Hyde.

Taking a seat next to Jackie, Hyde offers her a bite of his sandwich, ” come on, Jacks. I'm trying to be nice for once.”

Swiping at her cheeks, Jackie looks up at Hyde with tear filled eyes,” this really mean boy Michael took my lunch, I told him not to. But he just pushed me in the dirt.”

“ show him to me.”, orders Hyde instantly tensing up with a fist clenched stiffly at his side.

“ he's over there with that skinny boy.”, points out Jackie as she indicates who bullied her out of her lunch across the cafeteria.

“ I'll take care of this.”, reassures Hyde as he stands up from his seat now fuming with anger.

“ what are you going to do Steven?” asks Jackie with a look of fright as she watches Hyde head over towards Michael.

“ don't you worry about it Jackie.” orders Hyde before stalking off to the other end of the cafeteria.

“ Steven, its fine. My mom only packed me a yucky bologna sandwich anyway, I didn't want it. Honestly.”, urges Jackie after quickly standing to follow Hyde across the lunchroom. Reaching out for him, Jackie gently grabs hold of Hyde's sleeve.

“ no, I'm not going to let this kid bully you around anymore. Is this him, Jacks?”, questions Hyde with a fist already bawled up at his side.

“ well, yeah. Thats him, Steven. But theres no need to make a big deal out of nothing.”, acknowledges Jackie before making another attempt to try and calm Hyde down. Unsure of what else to say or do, Jackie simply clings onto Hyde's arm with a mixed look of worry and terror.

“ I'll handle this Jacks. Are you the jerk bullying my friend?”, accuses Hyde already beginning to stand his ground and get in Kelso's face.

“ what if I was? What are you going to do about it, tell the teacher?”, counters Kelso after looking up from his half eaten lunch briefly. With an arched eye brow, Kelso turn his attention back towards some friends at his table when Hyde says nothing more.

“ no, I'm not going to tell the teacher. But when I'm done with you, your going to wish thats all I did.”, warns Hyde before taking a swing at Kelso and then lunging at him. Knocking him from his seat, Hyde pummels Kelso a few times as the two of them wrestle around on the ground. Its not long before a teacher and two lunch aides show up and swiftly pull the two boys apart. ...

“ mommy, mommy! Its not fair mommy!”, cries Jackie as she races into the house panting, having run all the way home from school.

“ Jackie, sweetie. Stop crying and breath. Whats not fair?”, inquires Mrs Burkhart as she sets a glass of water down in front of her daughter.

Walking into her mother's arms, Jackie cries into her shirt,” Steven got suspended from school for an entire week!”

Picking Jackie up, Mrs Burkhart sets her down and immediately examines her,” what did that awful boy do to you?”

“ nothing, he defended me against this mean boy Michael who took my lunch and pushed me in the dirt.”, confesses Jackie through a round of hiccups and tears.

“ what a heroic boy! See? I told you that this Steven boy liked you dear.”, says Mrs Burkhart proudly and with a slight chuckle.

“ but mommy, he's in trouble because of me.”, protests Jackie through a new batch of tears, trembling in her seat.

“ don't you worry sweetie, I'll fix things.”, assures Mrs Burkhart as she places her arms around Jackie in a comforting hug. ...

(Later that day; Hyde's place)

“ hello? ...Steven? Are you home?”, calls Jackie cautiously as she stands outside knocking on his front door.

“ Jackie? What are you doing at my house?”, ponders Hyde as he opens the door while rubbing at his eyes tiredly.

Sitting down near Hyde, Jackie stares at the ground sadly,” thanks for sticking up for me, that Michael is really mean.”

Shifting around as Jackie hugs him tightly, Hyde looks down at her,” look, if he bothers you again just come find me.”

“ Ok....does this make us friends now?”, asks Jackie in a quiet manner after a couple minutes of content silence.

“ whatever.”, dismisses Hyde as he tries his best to play it Zen, despite the fact Jackie's in his arms still.

Smiling brightly at Hyde, Jackie reaches for his hand happily,” come on, you should come over my house for dinner.”

Letting Jackie lead him outside reluctantly, Hyde follows her down the street,” thats cool.”

“ I'm sure that my mom won't mind, she knows you.”, confides Jackie as she leads him once more down the streets of Point Place in the direction of her house.

“ how does your mom know me? I've never even met her.” points out Hyde with a look of bewilderment on his face.

“ I'm always telling her how you take my dolly, tease me and like to chase me around the playground or all the way home sometimes.” reports Jackie with a laugh at the look of fear on Hyde's face briefly.

“ yeah, I'm sure she'll just love me Jacks.” grumbles Hyde mostly to himself as he walks with Jackie up the side walk of her house, silently dreading the introduction to her mom thats surely not going to go well. .....

(Jackie's house)

“ Jackie, whose the little boy that you brought home with you?”, asks Mrs Burkhart when her daughter walks through the front door holding the hand of a blue eyed, curly haired boy.

“ mommy, this is my friend Steven. Could he please stay for dinner?”, pleads Jackie with a growing smile on her face as she swings Hyde's hand back and forth in hers.

“ well, of course he can stay honey. So Steven, Jackie has sure told me an awful lot about you.”, remarks Mrs. Burkhart with a delighted smirk making its way across her face. At sight of his nervous stance, she can't help but hold back a chuckle.

“ Look, Mrs Burkhart. I would never do anything to intentionally hurt Jackie, all those times I would chase her around or play keep-away with her doll....I was only playing around. Honest, I was.”, confesses Hyde unable to take the sudden feeling of guilt thats crept his way upon him. Averting his eyes toward the ground, Hyde lowers his head in shame expecting the usual scolding his parents usually gave him.

“ oh, Steven don't worry about that sweetie. I already know this, and I think its cute that Jackie has a little boyfriend. I also thought that it was very nice of you to defend my daughter this afternoon the way you did.”, commends Mrs Burkhart before lightly patting Hyde on his shoulders. Grabbing a plate of cookies from the kitchen, Mrs Burkhart sets them down in front of Hyde and Jackie.

“ I'm not Jackie's boyfriend/ ewww, mommmm! Steven is not my boyfriend!”, explains Hyde with a confused frown while Jackie whine out her own complaints beside him. With a laugh Mrs Burkhart only shakes her head at the two of them and grabs a cookie for herself to eat while starting to make dinner. .....
