A couple of hours later, they pull up to the Foreman's...



Kitty: (looks up when she sees them)Well... how was your weekend? (nudges Red)Ask the kids if they had fun, dear.
  
Red:  But Kitty....
  
Laurie: (comes out, lazily filing her nails)Hey, where's the tart? I thought she went too?
    
Fez:  Kelso pushed her into the icy water.  
  
Kitty: (looks at Kelso accusingly, her hands on her hips)You killed Jackie???
  
Kelso: She's not dead yet!
  
Kitty: (rolls her eyes)
  
Eric: Yeah, she'll be okay... she's kind of got a fever now, but Hyde's with her...
  
Kelso:  I could take SO much better care of her, but Donna wanted me to come with them. You know, in case of an emergency.
  
Kitty: Oh, lord... (bites her lip)Do you think they'll be okay out there alone? With her sick and all?
  


Jackie: (shivering violently, though the heat his radiating from her body)
  
Hyde:  Damn!!!  Um...  Blanket or no blanket?  Think, think, think...
  
Jackie: (looks over at him, eyes slightly glazed)S-Steven?
  
Hyde:  Go back to sleep, Jackie.
  
Jackie: (lays back on his chest) Where are we?
  
Hyde:  Hell.
  
Jackie: (yawns)Okay... night, Steven... (falls back asleep)
  



Kitty: Red?

Red:  What is it Kitty?
  
Kitty: Shouldn't we do... something?
  
Kelso: (sighs)Well, I guess I should WALK home, since Jackie made me loose my van...
  
Red: It's not like she's alone with Eric, Kitty. Steven will take care of her.
  
Kitty: (nods)You're right...
  
Eric: HEY! What, you don't think I could take care of someone? I'M not the moron who pushed her, ya know...
  
Kelso:  UH!!! I'm leaving!
  
Fez: Whatever... wuss.
  
Kelso:  If I'm a wuss, how come Jackie picked me over you?
  
Fez: (tosses his hands up)
  
Donna:Kelso. Leave!
  
Kitty: (clicks her tongue at Kelso)May I ask WHY you tried to drown that poor girl, Michael?
  
Kelso:  She was being mean to me...
  
Kitty: (looks sideways at Red)
  
Red: Oh yeah... Dumbass!
  
Kelso: But... it was HER fault!
  
Donna:  HOW was it her fault?!
  
Kelso: Um... She didn't care about my van!
  
Donna:  Grr!!!  (smacks him on the arm and walks out)
  
Kelso: (rubbing his arm)WHAT???
  
Kelso: Fine, I'm leaving! And, this was NOT my fault!
  
Kitty:  Tell your mother I said hello!
  
Eric: So, really, Mom? You don't think I could have handled it?
  
Kitty: Hahahaha... Honey, of course you couldn't.
  
Eric: (looks offended)
  
Kitty:  (shaking her head in amusement, walks out of the room)
  
Laurie: (starts snickering) Sooo... how did Little Miss Muffet like her swim?
(smirks)
  
Eric:  Shut up, Satan!

Laurie: (pouting)Daddy!
       
Red:  Eric, apologize to your sister.  
  
Eric: She... but she was... she's evil!
  
Red: That's it!  Go to your room, smartass.



Jackie: (moans)No... don't...

Hyde:  jackie...  Cmon, snap out of it.

Jackie: Dark... cold...

Hyde: Here's another blanket.  (spreads it over her.)

Jackie: (starts to scream)
 
Hyde:  O-kay... Bad idea.
      
Jackie: (with unseeing, terror-filled eyes)They're going to kill me...

Hyde:  Wake up! (taps her cheek lightly)

Jackie: (snaps out of it, looks up at him and impulsively tosses her arms around his neck, sobbing)Oh, it was so awful... they were all fish-people and they were going to eat me...

Hyde:  (grins) The ultimate revenge...   

Jackie: (snuffling, smacks him on the shoulder)NOT funny... Kelso was there, and Donna and Fez and Eric... Laurie was even there...

Hyde:  No surprise.  It was a nightmare, wasn't it?

Jackie: (shakes her head at him, finally laughing a bit through her tears)

Hyde:  Are you okay?

Jackie: (wipes her cheeks off, a bit embarrassed)I'm okay... I don't feel so good, though... (suddenly has a coughing-fit) What happened to me?

Hyde: (clenches his jaw)You don't remember? Kelso pushed you into the ice...
