I play with the rings on Hyde's fingers, smiling when he buries his nose in the crook of my neck.

"Where'd you get these? I never thought to ask," I murmur.

"I, uh..." he hesitates, "I stole most of them, to be honest."

"Most of them?"

"Yeah." He lifts his head and grins at me. "The class ring was free."

"See you later, sweetie," Caroline chirps, pecking Fez's lips.

He returns the kiss. "See you."

"You guys are such a cute couple!" Jackie coos as she shuts the door behind her.

"Yeah, I know. I really like Caroline," Donna agrees.

"Me too," I nod. "She's nice."

"Yeah, for a psycho," Steven scorns. "Why do you like her if I told you she's insane?"

I give him a look. "Because I personally don't have a problem with her and I'm not going to assume that she's crazy just because that's what you think."

"Yeah, Hyde, take that back!" Fez chides.

He imitates blowing a balloon and air hissing out, "Psycho."

"You are a gifted mime," he admits, "but that hurts."

"Hyde, Caroline's not a psycho," Donna sighs. "You just don't get women."

My boyfriend brushes my hair over my shoulder. "I don't know, it looks like I've got one right here."

She rolls her eyes. "We have emotions. We're ruled by the moon and the tides."

"And pretty clothes," Jackie adds.

"We should hang out with her," I conclude. "You know, make her feel welcome."

"Yeah, you can never have too many friends," Steven says sarcastically. "Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't."

"Hey, guys, you know who's crazy?" Eric giggles. "This camp counselor I once had, who used to make everyone do turbo sit-ups. But he'd put a towel over your face, and when you went to do the sit-up-"

Donna interrupts. "He'd pull the towel away, and you'd have to put your face in his butt."

"Donna, you stole the funny part."

"Well, Eric, I've heard it, like eight times. Okay, I'm sorry, tell the story. I'll laugh."

"But it'll be fake, though, right?"

"Oh, yeah."

"Okay, you guys, I once had this camp counselor-"

Michael bursts into the room. "Oh my god, the Petersons just got a new dog!"

We stare at him silently, disinterested.

"Let's go!"

When no one stands up, he rushes out on his own.

"So, anyway-" Eric resumes.

"Forman, man, shut up!" Steven groans, pushing me off of his lap.

"What the hell?"

"Sorry, Eric," I smirk and take Hyde's hand. "We've all heard the story a bunch of times already. So while you tell everyone else the story again, I'm gonna go have a good time with my boyfriend."

"Aw, come on-"

"No can do, Forman." He sweeps me into his arms and starts to carry me outside, only to be stopped by Red at the bottom of the stairs.

"Steven, put her down," he growls. "If you drop her, I'll cut your head off."

He sets me down and we share a look.

"Kitty needs you dumbasses. Not you, Anastasia."

He pushes past us and into the basement.

My eyebrows knit. "What does she need you for?"

"Some thing at the church," he scoffs. "We only agreed to it because Red threatened to kick our asses if we didn't."

I chuckle, kissing him quickly. "Okay, well, have fun with that."

"Good luck with Caroline."

"Okay. I'll see you later, yeah?"

"Yeah."

♛

"You guys are so much fun to hang out with," Caroline beams as the girls and I sit in the basement.

All we've done so far is listen to her ramble on about Fez. I have nothing against him, of course, but it gets a little old after a while. She's nice, though. And hasn't shown any signs of being a "psycho." Yet.

"We really are," Jackie agrees, momentarily looking up from filing her nails.

"So what does Cosmo say about me? I'm a Gemini," she queries.

"Okay," Donna nods. "The twins. Two people trapped in one body. So you're like a split personality."

She straightens. "If you ever say that about me again, I'll kill you!"

Then, she leans back, the vein in her forehead popping. "I'm kidding! You guys, I'm 'psycho,' remember? Whoo-hoo!"

"Wow, that was... that was really good," I chuckle, hoping to lighten the mood a bit. Maybe she's really just joking. Ah, who am I kidding? That was terrifying.

"I almost wet myself," Donna mutters as she stands and walks by me to change the music.

"Okay, enough small talk," Jackie gossips. "Tell us the details. Is Fez, like, an amazing kisser?"

"Aw, Jackie, don't make me blush!" Caroline giggles.

"No, she's only asking, because when she and Ana kissed him, he did this rolling thing with his tongue."

Wrong move.

She glares at Jackie and me. "You two kissed Fez?"

"Oh my god, it was so nothing," the raven-haired girl reassures her. "He had this stupid little crush on us."

"Yeah, and it happened way before he dated you," I add.

"Shut up!" Caroline screeches, standing up and clenching her fists. "If either of you ever touch my boyfriend again, I will hunt you down like animals! Understand?"

"I'm taken, anyway," I shrug.

"Understand?" she repeats, raising her voice.

Donna laughs, hoping that it's just another joke. "You're kidding, right?"

She mocks her, "'You're kidding, right?' I'll scratch your big, dumb eyes out, got it?" She storms out and slams the door behind her.

"Oh my god!" Donna exclaims.

"I know," Jackie seethes. "Her nails are beautiful."

"No!" I hiss. "She's unhinged! We have to tell Fez about this, whether he likes it or not. I have a feeling this isn't going to end well."

♛

"She was scary," Donna explains as we sit Fez down onto the couch.

"Really scary," I emphasize.

"Okay, Exorcist scary."

"Fez, you have to break up with her!" Jackie urges.

I shake my head. "Well, maybe don't just randomly-"

"Shut it, Ana. She's insane!"

"Okay, you guys are overreacting," Fez sneers. "She's a little loony, but she won't hurt you."

"Hey!" her voice chirps as she returns.

"Hello, my sweet girlfriend," he smiles softly.

It's hard watching him look at her. He really does care about her, and I don't want to mess that up just because I don't like her. But if he takes one misstep, she'll go crazy.

She kisses the top of his head and I rest a hand on his thigh, ignoring the way he freezes under my touch for the sake of Caroline's reaction.

She rips my hand away with a deathly grip and a murderous glower. I close my eyes and lean back as she screams into my face. "We've been over this!"

He leaps up and rushes away from us. "Caroline!

"Touch Fez and die!"

"Stop it! These are my friends!"

She lets go of my hand and struts over to him. "Oh, really? Did they shoplift thirty dollars of indelible ink markers and write your name in every inch of their room? Every inch! Did they?"

"Uh..." he peeks over her. "Did you guys do that?"

"No!" we chorus.

"Well, there you have it," he chuckles nervously. "Caroline, I... I have to break up with you."

"But why?" she whines, putting her innocent face back on. "And don't say it's because I'm crazy. Because I'm not crazy!"

"No! Oh, no! Oh no. Of course not! It's just because... Anastasia and I are in love."

I snap my head up. What the fuck does he think he's doing?

"What?" she shrieks.

"Oh my god," I groan.

"Ew!" Jackie grimaces.

"Yes, we are freaky for each other," Fez elaborates.

Shut up. Please shut up, Fezzie.

He grabs my arm and pulls me to him. "Please tell her. Please!"

"What if she tries to kill me?" I hiss.

"You grew up in New York. You can take her," he whispers.

"Yes," I lie. "We're in love."

"I don't believe you," she snarls.

I anxiously tap my foot before grabbing his face and smashing my lips onto his.

He wraps his arms around my waist, kissing back with that damn tongue roll, making it overly dramatic. 

"Oh my god," she whimpers. "You're really breaking up with me?"

I slip away.

"Is that okay?" he trembles.

"Fez, I just want to say," she breathes, "that you will never be as happy with her as you were with me! Ever. And until you realize that, I'll be seeing you. And by 'I'll be seeing you,' I mean I'll be watching you. But you won't know it. Except I just told you so you will know it. Anyway, this isn't over!"

We watch with wide eyes as she storms out.

"Well, I'm glad that's over," Fez exhales.

I smack him upside the head. "Fez, what the hell? You know I'm with Hyde!"

"I'm sorry!" he yelps. "You're the one who... who touched me!"

"Yeah, to show you how insane she is!"

"Look, please just help me out, okay?" he pleads. "I have to get out of that relationship somehow."

I bite my lip reluctantly. "Fine. But only because I care about you. And you owe me!"

He sighs in relief. "Thank you so much."

"Yeah, you're welcome."

Steven trots down the stairs. "Hey, guys, what's up?"

"Hi," I smile, pulling him down for a kiss.

The door swings open and I hear Caroline's heels clicking on the floor.

I push him away convincingly. "Ew, Hyde! I told you I'm not interested. The only one I want to be with is Fezzie."

A look of confusion and hurt registers on his face, and I catch it before turning to Fez and kissing his cheek, my gut twisting.

"I just forgot my purse," Caroline says stiffly, glancing at the three of us. "Oh, and Hyde, if you ever want to make her jealous, let me know."

As soon as she disappears up the outdoor stairs, I stand and walk around the couch to my real boyfriend.

"What's going on?" he asks quietly, trying to stay cool.

"It's not what you think," I assure him.

He stuffs his hands into his pockets, glaring at me and Fez through his shades. "So what is it?"

"He's trying to break up with Caroline and he's too much of a wuss to tell her the real reason why. He said we were in love, which we aren't, and now I'm stuck in this mess and I have to act like I'm dating him whenever she's around."

Jackie and Donna rush out, sensing the awkward atmosphere. Fez tries to follow, but he stops him. "Sit down, Fez. Just in case I need to kick your ass."

"Steven," I warn.

"I'm serious!" he says. "You said that it was an act, but it was pretty damn convincing!"

I narrow my eyes at him. "Are you saying you don't trust me?"

"It was convincing," he repeats.

I roll my eyes. "Oh, for god's sake, Steven! I grew up in a family of liars and manipulators! Of course I'll be a good actress!"

He turns his gaze to his shoes. "Fez, get out."

The foreign boy scrambles out gratefully, not wanting to be caught up in this.

I cross my arms, waiting for a response.

He steps closer to me. "I don't want to lose you, Princess," he mutters. "Especially not to some dumbass like Fez or Kelso. And now that I have you, and you're my first real girlfriend... I don't know."

He finally meets my eyes. "I hate watching you get all affectionate with the other guys."

I cup his cheek with my hand. "I'm sorry. But it literally just happened. I would have told you if I could have."

He swallows. "It's fine."

I crack a smile. "Do you mean 'fine' like girls mean 'fine?' Because then you're not fine."

He chuckles. "No. It's actually fine."

"Okay. Good." I pull him in for a hug and he kisses the top of my head.

"Did you kiss him?"

"Yeah."

"Was he any better than me?"

"Maybe," I tease, pulling away from him.

He scowls down at me. "In all seriousness."

I smirk. "There's no one that's better than you."
