Welcome Back… Welcome Back…
Jackie Burkhart steered the rented car from the shop next to the airport down the old familiar roads. Had it really been sixteen and half years since she had been in her hometown of Point Place Wisconsin? Her twin sixteen year olds' were watching indifferently out the window. Point Place was a far cry from their Los Angeles condo.
However when her best friend Donna Foreman called her and told her Red had another massive heart attack and wasn't planned on surviving Jackie packed all they had left LA, maybe for good?
She wondered how much had changed? She knew Eric and Donna married after his return from Africa and now lived in the house.
Fez still had his little place and owned a string of successful beauty salons.
Kelso went back on the force and married Brooke.
And Steven, the name still sent a chill down her spine. She had heard he had sent that girl packing back to Vegas and had bought Bob's place considering he now managed two stores right in Point Place.
Staring in the backseat she stared at her own curly-haired conspiracy theorist. Her daughter may look like a min-Jackie but she to was as punk as her father ever was.
Pulling into the familiar driveway a lump developed in Jackie's throat when she saw all her old friends standing around like they always used to. Jackie quietly got out of the car, dressed in jeans and a simple fitted baseball type t-shirt looking very not the Jackie they used to know and her kids followed close behind.
"Jackie!" they all ran up and hugged her tightly, well almost all of them. She was sure Fez was going to kill her he hung on so tight.
They were also staring at the two kids with her. Jimmy, dressed in dark jeans and a Nirvana t-shirt had short curly hair and Paige, dressed in tighter jeans and a Guns N' Roses t-shirt had long black semi-curly hair. They both looked very anti-Jackie as-well or at least the Jackie they had all known years beforehand.
"Go help your sister get the bags." Jackie told Jimmy, who was just staring at Hyde for a long time, who was staring back at him.
"Why I mean it's not my fault she brought so much." Jimmy snipped with attitude hanging on every word.
"Okay, I'll remember that next time I have to decide between lets say Elton John or Nirvana for you." with a low mumble the kid went toward where his sister was and started helping her. Hyde couldn't hide a small smirk seeing that Jackie knew exactly how to handle the kid.
"Actually Jacks you're staying with me, more room and privacy. Especially with Foreman's offspring running everywhere." Hyde said of Eric and Donna's three children; fourteen year old Kat, twelve year old Denny, and nine year old Jill.
Jackie stood there, all she could do was shake her head in agreement, they were going to stay with Hyde?
