This story takes on a couple points: What if the characters didn't graduate high school until 1982?, what would their lives look like Secondly, What did their lives look like and what would happen when Kitty brought them all together for New Years Eve 1999 as she had an announcement for all of them and what would happen in the years following.

Chapter 1. The beginning of the reunion

New Years Eve 1999. 7:50 AM. It was yet another day in Point Place, the town had grown some since the gang graduated 17 years ago, going from a small town of 250 people to a town of 2,000. Through all these changes, it looked exactly as it had when Eric Forman left here in 1983, only to return from Africa, a changed man in 1985.

Eric bought the old Pinicotti house in 1987 when Bob and Midge were both admitted to a nursing home and had expanded the house a dozen times.

But today, Eric stood over the coffee pot thinking back to his old pals and the age old basement. Even into the early 80s, the gang was always there. It wasn't until Eric left in 1983 that things changed. The thought of going to Africa was enough to send shivers down Eric's spine as he saw things that so few people have even seen. His father understood what had happen the moment he and Eric locked eyes when Eric returned in the spring of 1985. 'But' Eric thought, '1985 and '86 didn't turn out all that bad'. He smiled as he got his coffee and went into the living room. Upon entering the living room, he was greeted by a familiar sound. It was the sound of an older woman arguing with a pre-teen about who knows what.

Eric's gaze then looked to the couch, where his gaze caught his young son playing with a figure in his hand, one of Eric's old GI Joes.

Eric smiled to himself as he went back into the kitchen to get his newspaper, thinking 'Man, I really do have it all.' He let a chuckle escape as he remembered when he thought he needed out of point place.

Chicago 8:00AM. Steven sighed as he got off the phone at Chicago's O'Hare Airport. He turned and picked up the luggage he and his crew had brought with them on put it on the cart and hopped on as it drove away. Inside his Zen shell, Hyde was nervous to see who was going to be at that New Years Eve party. 'I'm only going to this party because Ms. Forman had asked me to' Steven reminded himself, approaching the bus ticket counter, 'I'm there for her, so I doubt everyone will make it' he thought. His mind then wandered off to memories of the old basement gang. He was interrupted by a small voice "Daddy, when do we get on the bus?". Hyde looked down at the little girl and replied "Soon, but you gotta let me go get the tickets, Kelsey.. I mean Katie". Hyde smiled as he watched her get off the cart to allow him out.

Hyde approached the bus ticket center as he said "I'm here for the 4 tickets for the Hyde Family to Point Place ,Wisconsin". The lady at the counter smiled and handed him the tickets as he signed the release form. "Thank You much Ma'am" Hyde said, turning back to his family showing them the tickets.

Point Place 9:15AM. A small cab pulled up in front of the Forman house. The man and his wife paid the driver as their kids ran up the driveway. Fez turned and watched his kids run up towards the house, feeling nervous as he grabbed the luggage and walked towards the house. He smiled as he reached the end of the driveway, seeing that old sliding door with the cheese grater lights. Fez's kids were playing basketball by the time he reached the door.

Sliding the door open, he was greeted by an all too familiar voice, "Fez, oh goodness it is you Fez" the voice said. Fez looked up and smiled as he saw standing in the kitchen, cooking her famous brownies. Fez walked up and hugged Kitty "How are you Ms. Kitty?" he asked. Kitty smiled and replied "Great Fez, how would you like a brownie?" Kitty had to laugh at his reaction reminded her of the old Fez as he acted like a little kid, clapping his hands and gladly accepting multiple brownies. 'I'm glad some things never change' Kitty thought to herself smiling.

Just then, Kitty heard the sliding door open again, allowing Fez's wife and kids to enter. Kitty struggled to catch her breath as she realized who she was. "Donna, is that really you?" she exhaled. Donna couldn't help but smile. She walked over and hugged Kitty. "Yes, Mrs. Forman, it is me. And I have some people you want to meet" Donna said, motioning her kids towards her.

"This is Lucille (Lucy) Belle" she said pointing to the oldest child. "And this is Ricardo" she said pointing to a little boy eagerly eating a brownie, almost an exact replica of a young Fez. Kitty's eyes began to well up as she offered the kids more brownies "Oh Donna, they are precious they are the perfect mix of you and Fez" Kitty said, hugging Donna. "I know" Donna said, memories beginning to flood back

Eric Forman's house 10:00am. Eric was sitting alone in his shop/workroom grading papers. The fighting had disappeared as his pre-teen daughter had gone back to her room to do laundry, his son was in the living room playing Legend of Zelda on his Nintendo 64, and his wife was in the backyard on the swing thinking. Eric put down the papers and just admired her simple beauty. Eric decided to take a break from grading papers and went to the backyard, towards his wife. "Hi dear, penny for your thoughts?" he said with a grin as he sat down on the swing next to her. "Hi", she said as his words had interrupted her thoughts. "Oh it's nothing, just how I'm going to handle Brie the next time she wants to wear that short skirt" she said, looking half defeated. "Look Jackie" Eric said, taking her hand in his, "Brie is going to be a teenager, she's not the cute little princess she was a few years ago. " gazing into her eyes, he continued "She still going to be our little princess, but now she is going to be that rebellious, smart-mouth princess". Jackie couldn't help but giggle at his last comment, as it brought back memories of Red yelling at Eric. She gazed into Eric's eyes, saying "You always seem to know what to say Eric" she smiled as she gripped his hand tighter. She then gazed at him again, asking "Oh Eric, how is a girl like me, lucky enough to have met and married a guy like you.?" ,As she leaned over and gave him a kiss. He smiled and replied "I was just about to ask how a guy like me is lucky enough to have someone like you". He leaned in and gave her a reply kiss. After a few moments, Jackie said "Hey, you wanna grab the kids and go to your Mom's house? I think I heard Fez come in". She glanced at him and saw excitement in his eyes as he replied "Sure why not, why don't you head over and Brie and Tommy and I will catch up?". "OK, see you there" she said as she leaned in and kissed Eric once more.

Watching her walk away, Eric couldn't help but think, "Dang, I really am a blessed man"
