Steven tries not to glower at me and Fez through his shades as we lay on the couch together.

"I don't want to blink because I don't want to miss a second of your cuteness," Kelso mumbles, staring into Jackie's eyes.

"I know. It's torture for me, too," she beams.

"I could tear your eyelids off," Hyde offers.

She rolls her eyes and beckons her boyfriend outside. "Let's go, Michael, to a place where our love is understood."

"Oh, hey, while you're there, check out the new monkey house!" Eric sneers.

"Ah, it never ends with those two," Fez chuckles, playing with the ends of my hair. "'I love you, I love you, I love you, I-'" he blows a raspberry.

Steven shakes his head. "Guys, it won't last."

"Yeah, we all know that," I say solemnly, not wanting my friends to get hurt again.

"Hey, guys, you know what?" Eric suggests. "We should get a pool going. We'll draw days for five bucks, and if they fight on your day, you win the pot."

"The pot?" Fez grins. "If that's the prize, I am in!"

"Guys, I'm not going to bet on my friends," I sigh, before biting my lip. "I could use the money, though... Ah, fuck it, I'm in."

"An object in an unnatural state must return to its natural state," Steven nods, gesturing to me and Fez. "Like that. It'll be over soon."

"Thank you for letting me borrow your girlfriend, Hyde," Fez smiles. "She's very useful."

I look up at him. "Fez, I can end this right now if you ever talk about me like that again."

"Ay!"

"It's whatever," Steven shrugs, "but if you unnecessarily touch her, I'll hit you."

"Relax, babe," I smirk. "I'm not going anywhere."

"So, Hyde," Eric laughs. "Looks like you'll be living the single life for a while, huh?"

I frown. "Oh, now you won't get to take me to see The Turning Point."

Steven retorts sarcastically, "That movie? Oh, no."

Fez stands and offers a hand, which I gratefully accept. "Come, Anastasia. We should go to the Hub together, as a couple."

"Do we have to?" I grimace.

"Do you want to help me or not?"

I sigh. "Fine. Let's go."

♛

"So, our first date," he says after we get there. "I guess we're officially a couple now."

I look through the songs on the jukebox. "Fez-"

He quickly saves himself. "A couple of knuckleheads, huh?" He chuckles and shakes his head. "Oh, I make me laugh."

I glance up at him, spotting her over his shoulder. "Oh, there she is."

"Okay. Showtime."

He reaches around me to pop some coins into the jukebox and an Beatles song starts playing.

"Oh my god, Fez, I love this song!" I beam genuinely.

He smiles softly, "I know."

He grabs my hand and twirls me around, and I don't have to pretend too much to appear as if I'm having fun.

"In this world there's nothing I would rather do, 'cause I'm happy just to dance with you."

Caroline glares at us, leaning against the jukebox as George Harrison's voice and the strumming of guitars and the drumming of drums fills the room.

"Just to dance with you is everything I need. Before this dance is through, I think I'll love you, too. I'm so happy when you dance with me."

I laugh openly when he catches me from almost tripping, suavely coaxing me into his arms.

"'Cause I'm happy just to dance with you, oh! Oh! Oh!"

He dips me as the song comes to an end, our noses just barely touching. He pecks me quickly on the lips as the couples at other tables clap for us and Caroline storms out.

"Fez, that was actually really fun," I admit.

The corner of his lip quirks up. "I'm glad you enjoyed it."

I frown. "Is something wrong?"

He shakes his head, not taking his eyes off of me. "No, it's just... Ana, does Hyde ever take you dancing like that?"

My heart skips a beat. Why are you asking me that? Don't ask me that. "No, he doesn't," I say nonchalantly. "Wh- um, why?"

"I would take you dancing like that."

I exhale heavily. "Fezzie-"

"It's okay," he smiles. "I know you like Hyde and I respect that. But I want you to know... I'll always be happy just to dance with you."

I can barely find the ability to speak. He always knows exactly what to say to make someone speechless.

"Fez-"

"Let's go back to Eric's house. Maybe Jackie and Kelso have fought already."

"Okay."

He takes my hand gently and walks me to the car.

♛

"Hey, Kelso," Hyde says, trying to stir up trouble so he can win the bet. "I heard that Pam Macy said she had a great time kissing you last night."

"Michael!" Jackie gasps, wheeling on him.

"No! No, Jackie, we did not!" he protests.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" Steven eggs them on.

Eric slaps him with the cash in his hand. "No fair, man!"

"Shut up! My day's almost over! Now, hurry up and fight!"

"What?" Jackie scoffs.

He reaches behind them and tips Kelso's beer onto her.

"Would you watch it?" she shrieks, standing up.

"What a klutz!" Steven yells. "Isn't Kelso a klutz? I think you should hit him."

I roll my eyes, watching the scene unfold disinterestedly.

"Steven, why are you trying to make us fight?" Jackie asks.

"'Cause I've got today in the pool! Now, come on, Jackie, hit him!"

"Oh my god, I get it," she sneers. "The pool wasn't about Steven's toenails," I choose to ignore that. "These idiots bet on when you and I would fight!"

"Kelso!" he gasps. "Are you going to take that? She just called your friends idiots! You'd better start kicking some ass!"

"No, wait, the pool was about us?" Mike frowns.

He nods.

"Damn, I wish I had a piece of that!"

"You would wager against our love?" Jackie presses, narrowing her eyes at him.

"Well, damn, Jackie, how often in a lifetime do you have a run at a sure thing?"

She smacks him on the arm and he clutches it, groaning in pain.

Steven cheers and I click my tongue. "Sit down, you asshole, it's just fifteen bucks."

He turns to me with raised eyebrows. "Yeah, fifteen bucks that I could use to buy more for my stash."

I cross my arms.

"Or to take you to see The Turning Point," he adds quickly.

I scoff and stand, walking over to the record player and looking for something else to put in.

"What are you mad about?"

"Nothing," I dismiss.

He furrows his eyebrows. "Did Fez do something? Do I have to kick his ass?"

"No! No, Fez didn't do anything." I purse my lips when I spot A Hard Day's Night under Led Zeppelin IV. "Do you want to go dancing sometime? After this whole Caroline thing, I mean."

He chuckles. "Are you really asking me that, Princess?"

I look at him for a moment, his shades dropped over his eyes, a small boyish grin on his face, his hands in his pockets, before I shake my head. "Nevermind."

He straightens. "If you really want to go, we can-"

"It's fine. We don't have to," I smile fakely.

"Are you saying 'it's fine' as in-"

I decide on Let It Bleed. "I said it's fine, Steven."

The door swings open and Fez peeks out. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah."

Hyde frowns at us. "Where are you guys going? Caroline isn't around."

"I know," I nod coldly. "Fez is taking me to see The Turning Point."

♛

The movie keeps me distracted for most of the time, but I avert my eyes during a romantic scene, focusing instead on the popcorn in between me and Fez.

"Are you okay?" he whispers, not wanting to be too loud.

"I'm okay."

"Anastasia, I know I made things a little awkward between us, but you know you can talk to me if you need to, right?"

"Yeah. Thanks, Fezzie."

"So? Talk to Fez."

I play with my rings. "I don't know... I guess going out with you just made me realize that Hyde can't give me everything. I wonder if... if I made the right choice, dating him."

He rests his hand on mine. "Ana, no one is going to be able to give you everything. No one is going to be perfect. Honestly, I think you two complement each other quite nicely."

I look up at him. "You do?"

"Yes. Even if I think we would be a pretty good couple, too."

I giggle. "So what do I do?"

"Stay with him, or whoever you want, and if you ever want to dance, give me a call."

"So we can dance as friends?"

"Yes. Of course, if you want to dance as something more-"

"Fez!"

He laughs. "Okay, okay. But out in public, for now, you're my girlfriend, not Hyde's. He is dead to you."

"That's fair," I chuckle.

Caroline loudly pushes past the people in the row behind us and he pulls me into his side, letting me rest my head on his shoulder.

He glances at her over my head. "Caroline! Hi! I was just offering Ana, my girlfriend, a sip from my soda. We don't care about germs because she has had her tongue in my mouth."

I take his cup and take a few sips.

Caroline hums. "You know what I think? I think this is all an act. I don't think you're really dating."

"Well, maybe this will convince you."

He leans over and kisses me, slipping his tongue into my mouth. Shit, okay, I don't need this right now.

I push him away gently. "Fezzie, baby, let's just focus on the movie."

She sticks her face in between us. "If you were really dating, you would have gotten to second base by now."

He reaches a hand out to my chest but I smack it away.

"Okay, guys, I'm sorry," I huff. "Caroline, he doesn't like you. That's why he's breaking up with you."

She frowns. "Is this true?"

"...Yes."

"Wow," she whispers. "I guess we really are over. Okay, enjoy your movie!" She apologizes as she trips over someone's legs.

Recognizing the person, she gasps. "Hyde! Looking good! Call me."

I turn with raised eyebrows at him as he sinks down into his seat sheepishly. "Steven, what are you doing here?"

"Are you kidding me?" he laughs nervously. "It's The Turning Point!"

I smirk. "You miss me."

"Of course I do," he shrugs. "You missed me, didn't you?"

"Yeah, I did," I grin.

He climbs over the seat and takes the empty one on my right, tucking my hair behind my ear and kissing me softly.

"Sorry," he mumbles against my lips.

"It's okay."

He lifts me into his lap, resting a hand on my thigh.

"Excuse me," Fez interrupts. "Our date is not over. Now, good day, sir."

Steven frowns. "But, Fez-"

"I said good day."

"Fez, I'm not going anywhere."

He glares at him and stands. "Fine. Then, good day."

"Fez!"

"I said good day!"
