isabella, jackie and kelso went upstairs to see fez after kitty finished mending to his broken leg.

eric and fez ended up running after each other on the roof and they fell down.

"oh, see? you see that, jackie? fez hurt himself. there is someone stupider than me." kelso said.

"it's not his fault he's stupid. he's foreign. what's your excuse, stupid?" jackie asked.

"you guys are so insensitive." isabella said as she sat next to fez.

"well, i know one thing's for sure. there's definitely someone bitchier than me." kelso said.

"oh, you better not mean me." jackie replied.

"oh, i so mean you!" kelso told her.

"oh." jackie gasped as she walked out of the room.

"nice burn." hyde said.

"on that note, i think i'm gonna head home." isabella said.

-

isabella sat on the steps with donna and jackie.

"donna, what's wrong? you look sad." jackie said.

"are you upset about what eric said?" isabella asked her.

"i think eric thinks i'm boring. do you guys think i'm boring?" donna asked them.

"well..." isabella trailed off.

"oh, donna. yeah, a little. but it's not like it's a bad thing. the world needs people like you. you're the gray that makes the color... me... pop." jackie said.

"yeah, donna, it's not bad to be boring." isabella said.

"you guys, i'm not boring. eric and i do lots of fun stuff together. we go to the movies-" donna began but jackie cut her off.

"every friday, early show." jackie said.

"what? i get sleepy." donna said.

"and that's totally fine!" isabella told her.

"mm-hmm." jackie replied.

"oh, no." donna said.

-

"so, turns out my super sensitive guy boyfriend wants me to be a baby machine. pfft. what a dillhole." donna told the circle.

"donna, i'm sitting right here." eric told her.

"that's why i said it, you dillhole." donna replied.

"donna, the only reason i thought you'd stay home with the babies is because only every woman has done it for the entire history of time. so don't be mad at me. be mad at your foremothers. yeah." eric said.

"that is so typical. as if every woman wants to spend her life as a pampered housewife, raising kids and organizing the help. wait. isn't that what every woman wants?" jackie said.

"you're missing the point, jackie." isabella told her.

"donna, man... forman's just limited by his experiences. as the voice of a new generation of smart, independent women, you need to make this dillhole realize that a mind and spirit like yours has more options than your mothers had." hyde told her.

"yeah. sorry, what?" donna asked.

"all right, donna. so... are we cool?" eric asked before she smashed food in his face.

isabella sat back for a moment and she thought about the future. ever since breaking up with freddy she had never given kids another thought.

-

"happy veterans day. now, where have you hidden the chocolate eggs?" fez asked.

"fez-" isabella went to say but got cut off.

"leave it." hyde said patting her shoulder.

"uh, they're everywhere, fez, start looking." eric said making isabella laugh.

isabella shifted in her seat when she saw jackie walk over to hyde, who, was sitting on the freezer.

"so, steven, isn't veterans day romantic?" jackie asked.

"oh, yeah. government pawns and missing limbs... that's amore." hyde said.

"i know. i know. it's a day for people in love to have fun together." jackie said.

"are you guys sure you know what veterans day is?" isabella laughed.

"you know what? all this talk about having fun makes me want to have fun. hey, let's throw stuff at other stuff." kelso said.

"man, that's perfect. i've got stuff." eric said.

"i'm in." kelso said.

"let's do it." eric said.

"i'll only do it if kelso is the stuff i get to throw other stuff at." isabella said making kelso gasp and then leave to go upstairs with eric.

"so, steven... would you like to go to mr. forman's barbecue with me?" jackie asked him.

"no. as a matter of fact, i don't wanna go anywhere with you." hyde replied.

"no, that's okay. you know what? we can stay in." jackie said hopping up beside him and putting her arm around him.

"no, jackie. look, i told you again and again, i have no interest in you and you don't have a chance. and yet you keep thinking that i have interest in you and you have a chance." hyde said going to sit beside isabella.

"wait. did you just say that you are interested in me and that i have a chance?" jackie asked as donna and isabella contained their laughter.

"okay, you know what, you forced me to do this. i'm gonna explain my feelings to you. through a highly disciplined form of japanese poetry, haiku. my heart aches with pain. when i see you, i vomit. die away from me." hyde said.

"ouch." donna commented.

"sayonara." hyde said before walking upstairs.

"girls, never have 17 syllables hurt me so much. why would he want to hurt me like that?" jackie asked.

"because you're stalking him, jackie." donna told her.

"no. really, donna?" jackie asked.

"jackie, really. you are to hyde what fez is to you." donna told her.

"she's right." isabella said.

"that's ridiculous. fez and i will never happen. oh, god. steven and i will never happen." jackie said.

"jackie, it's all right. you just gotta get over this. be strong." donna told her.

"you're right, donna. you're right. i wish my daddy could buy him for me." jackie said.

"yeah, i know. i know." donna said.

"does this smell like chocolate to you?" fez asked showing them something he picked up from the floor.

"look, jackie, hyde doesn't like you. and you just have to accept it." isabella said before letting out a sigh and walking out.

-

isabella and fez were standing by a table talking to jackie when hyde walked out.

"jackie, get your car we're going on a freaking date." hyde said making her eyes light up.

"oh, my god. it's a veterans day miracle." jackie said.

isabella felt a rush of emotions hit her and she went inside the kitchen.

she sat down at the table and she placed her arms on the table before resting her head down.

all the sudden she heard something get placed in front of her. she looked up to see kitty with two glasses of wine.

"what's up ms. forman?" isabella asked her.

"oh, honey. you think i didn't see what just happened." kitty said sitting next to her.

"what are you talking about?" isabella asked her.

"you can deny it all you want, but you see something in steven. so, seeing him and jackie makes you upset." kitty said.

"i'll take that glass of wine now." isabella said as kitty laughed.

isabella was thankful to have someone like kitty forman in her life. she was always like a second mother to her.

a few glasses of wine later, ms. forman had a drunk isabella in her kitchen.
