Hyde flicked on the radio in the car he'd borrowed from Leo, trying to find a way to get his mind from running in a million different directions until he got to the ice-shack to talk to Jackie, hoping he wasn't too late... Radio: ... So, I waited with high hopes, and she walked in the place. I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face. It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Aw, it's you." Then we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew, that you liked pina` coladas. And, gettin' caught in the rain. And, the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champange. If you like makin' love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape, you're the lady I've looked for; come with me and escape... Kelso: (brings a wet shivering, half-conscious, Jackie into the ice-shack where Eric, Donna and Fez are) Donna: Kelso! What did you do to her? Kelso: Umm... it was an accident, I swear! Eric: An accident? Look at her! Kelso: (bites his lip)Well, we were arguing, and I guess we were too close to the hole in the ice... it was such a gentle shove--- Donna: You PUSHED her in?! Kelso: I didn't MEAN to! Fez: Oh, my poor Jackie! Come to Fez. Jackie: (teeth chattering)F-f-f-freezing! Donna: Someone get her a blanket. Where are they, Kelso? Eric: (deciding to take charge)Okay, we are stuck for a while because MORON over there parked the van in a bad spot, so we're just gonna have to try and take care of her here... first things first, we have to get her out of her clothes... Fez: I can do that... Eric: Thanks, Fez... Okay, help her out of those wet things while Donna and I use the sleeping bags to make a pallet on the floor... Donna: Yeah, right. Turn your backs and I'll help her. Fez, you help Eric with the pallet. Fez: Party-pooper... (goes over to help Eric) Donna: You too, murderer. Kelso: Oh! (turns, looking offended) Donna: Come on, Jackie... help me out here. Jackie: (starting to sway on her feet, her eyes fluttering as if fighting to stay open) Steven... I want Steven... Eric: (bites his lip)Um, Donna? Maybe it'd just be faster if I help--- Donna: Don't even think about it. Now CLOSE your eyes! Eric: (puts his hands over his eyes)Yes'm... About 2 hours later... Fez: I saw a movie about something like this once... We have to get her blood pumping faster, so she does not catch pneumonia... Donna: How do we do that? Fez: Well, in the movie, the guy climbed under the blankets with the girl and--- Eric: I don't think that's gonna work, Fez. Kelso: What happened next? Fez: (thinks)Oh, then this other guy came by and offered them 50 bucks to let HIM climb in... Eric: We get the picture! Fez: (nods)Okay... Eric: Hey... Do you guys hear a car? Donna: (runs to the window)Hey, that's Hyde getting out! Jackie: (moans softly) Kelso: (feels her forehead and looks sincerely guilty)She's burnin' up guys... Eric: Man, Hyde's gonna KILL you... Kelso: It was an ACCIDENT, and... what does he care anyways? Hyde: (thumps on the door) You guys in there? Kelso: (runs behind Eric)PROTECT ME??? Eric: (shoves him away) Yeah, sure. Listen, Jackie may not be my best pal, but you deserve what you get for the way you've treated her. Kelso: (runs behind Fez as Donna lets Hyde in) Jackie: (doesn't notice anything going on around her at this point and whimpers softly) Hyde: (looks shocked, and then worried) What's wrong with Jackie? Fez: (jerks his thumb behind him at Kelso)Oh, Mr. Master-Plan over there pushed her into a hole in the ice. Hyde: WHAT?! (lunges for him) You shoved her off the ice?! Kelso: (running backwards coming THISCLOSE to stepping on Jackie)I didn't MEAN to!!! I SWEAR, Hyde, it was a TOTAL accident! Jackie: (in her sleep) Please no, Michael... Kelso: (looks down at her and flushes a bit guiltily) Hyde: (eyes darken) Sounds like your totally innocent to me! Fez: (shoves Kelso out of the way as he comes over with a rag and some alcohol)Kill him somewhere else, Hyde, okay? We can't let her get sicker... Hyde: (shoots Kelso a murderous look) We'll finish this later. Kelso: (kind of slinks away) Fez: (drenches the rag in alcohol and starts to pull the blanket down...) Hyde: (notices that she is naked under the blankets) What the HELL are you doing? Fez: It's totally INNOCENT, Hyde... we need to get her blood pumping, and Donna and Eric said we couldn't use sex, so--- Hyde: Donna? Explain? Donna: Ummm... well, see Fez might have a point... He says her blood needs to get pumping so she'll get all warmer and not get pneumonia... His first suggestion of how to do that was sleep with her, but I told him no. Hyde: damn right. But if anyone's gonna get her blood pumping, I am! Eric: (smirks)Really now? Hyde: That's not what I meant! I mean, it is... But it isn't! Fez: (takes her arm and raises it slightly)Oh, that is okay, I am already here... (starts rubbing her arm with the alcohol-drenched rag) Hyde: (starts to see red as he watches Fez's hand travel closer and closer to Jackie's--) Jackie: (eyes closed, doesn't even notice, but shivers and mumbles something) Hyde: I'll take it from here, Fez. Fez: No, that is all ri--- Hyde: I said I'll take it from here. Fez: (sees the look on his face and gulps, tossing the rag to him)(pouty)The bottle |
