Finale Fix
January 1, 1980
12:00 a.m.
Told in POV style
Just a bored rambling of sorts.
Donna
Will Eric respect my choice to go to college? He's not done with his teaching in Africa. I wonder if he got into trouble
for coming back home for New Year's Eve? We do have our future to decide. I'll be honest and tell him about Randy
and I'll find out why he wanted to break up with me after all the effort we made in recommitting ourselves to each
other. I do love him, he does seem to want to be with me. Okay, it's up to him, but we'll always be friends. No matter
what happens I will always love him.
Eric
I don't have the heart to tell Donna that I quit. Yep, like T-ball, the job at the Holiday Hotel, and bailing on our
wedding, I quit. I do want to be a teacher, but I want to do it my way. While in Africa, I met a guy from Oregon named
Danny and he told me about all the financial aid available to people in my situation. I am going to take the SAT's
again, because I cannot get into a decent school with the score I currently I have on file. Wow. Jackie looks absolutely
gorgeous. I don't know if I want to be with Donna, we'll see where it goes, sometimes your high school love does not
transition into your adult love. We had a good run. After I take the SAT's, I'll get my job back at the hotel, it'll be weird
without Hyde or Kelso there, but I'll make money, hopefully Red will let me have my room back, Kitty laughed and said
I had to sleep in Laurie's old room…why? What did they do to my room? Then I'll apply to local colleges even if I have
to do the junior college 2-year jump start plan. I don't need Donna to be whole. We'll just have to see where it goes.
Hyde
Why does Jackie have to be so stunning? Why would she leave her job in Chicago? How could she want to marry me
one minute and then when Kelso asked her (for the most selfish of reasons), she was thinking about it. How could
Kelso look me in the eyes (or my sunglasses) and tell me of such an idea? Didn't he think I was hurt? I was drunk
when I married Sam, the future was decided for me, when her lame middle-aged husband came back to claim her.
Nice chick, but the love of my life? No. So, now she loves Fez. Really? I'm not buying it. But I'm not chasing her. I
have a record store, a new sister who moved to Milwaukee to work in Dad's corporate office, and I'm connecting with
my biological father, W.B, ; I will always love Red & Kitty for being there for me. Kelso thinks he'll wind up with Jackie
someday, maybe he will, I'm not going to fight for her, yet I want her back. Jackie always thought Fez was on the
perverted side, but now because of a stupid list (thanks, Donna, you're so miserable so you want everyone else to be
as well) Fez suddenly has all of the qualities that she wants in a man.
I'm not buying it.
He has too many needs. He's too creepy, even if he is a friend, he'll have a wandering dick, and he'll make her cry. Am
I the only one who can see this? I've been mature from the time I was 10, if she wants me she's going to have to
grow up a hell of a lot first. But does she have to look so damn beautiful?
Kelso
I had to kick in the '80s with my friends. I spent more time here in the Forman house than I do at my own house. I
didn't even see my Mom and Dad yet. They're too busy with the rest of them. Casey wants a job at the Playboy Club.
I just want to go home to my daughter and buy her a puppy. Can I keep the stupid helmet?
Fez
Jackie's mine. Does she know that I am a Fez with needs?
I've loved her since I met her, but fuck it, it's obvious she's using me because she can't have Hyde. Might as well
have fun before she comes to realize the truth.
Jackie
I just wanted to be loved. Fez? What have I done? He's just a friend to pass time with. How could he think it's
something more? Michael was my first love and I'll always love him in the way that I'll always love my stuffed
animals. I want to run into Steven's arms and tell him that I love him. Yeah, he hurt me, and I hurt him. It was a
game of physical ping-pong. I don't hate him regarding the Sam stuff; he needed to dull the pain away. Why were we
always afraid of just letting things develop naturally? I'll look for a job, have friends with benefits with Fez, and maybe
someday, Steven and I will be together. Otherwise, it was all a waste, and I don't want to think we didn't have
something. Damn, I wish he didn't wear those stupid sunglasses. I want to see his blue eyes. I want to know what
he's feeling right this second. My Dad might be getting out of prison soon, maybe, he can give me some advice…who
am I kidding? Look at his relationship with Mom. Gone again before we could even reform a relationship with each
other. For the first time in my life, in a non-spoiled girl way, I do have a lot of growing up to do. I hope it all leads to
Steven. I love him so much.
Kitty
I love having all of my friends and family here (well Laurie is god knows where). Why is Eric here? He'd never qualify
for time off yet. We'll cross that bridge when we get there later on tomorrow. It's good to see my baby boy. It's 1980,
who wants a drink? I know I do.
Red
Why is the dumbass home?
When is everyone going to leave so I can be with the only person I want to be with — Kitty?
