So I know it's been a while but I really like this story so I will be continuing just slowly!

The drive was slow and dull. Fez had been talking the entire time about "doing it" with a slutty bridesmaid while Hyde and Eric ragged on him not be able to cut it with a bridesmaid. The same old witty banter.

Jackie silently watched bored with the circumstances she was dealt. How she wished she could've gone to Chicago for the weekend and seen Erica instead. She really did miss the girl. After all, Erica was the only true friend she had anymore.

It wasn't that Jackie didn't care about her old friends; they just didn't seem to care about her anymore. If they ever had.

She and Fez still hung out from time to time, they generally got their hair done and gossiped. Kelso had been busy with Brooke and Betsy, so it was natural that they wouldn't hang out as much. Michael did call though, always eager to tell her the cute things Betsy would do. Bastard knows that Jackie will always listen and give him advice when he was in a troubled time with Brooke. He really did love her, Brooke, that is, not to say that he didn't have love-like feelings for Jackie, just different kinds of love.

Then there was Eric and Donna. Her friendship with them was much more complicated. As she and Donna's friendship grew more distant, Jackie and Eric got closer. Donna was still friends with Sam, and though Jackie felt betrayed she didn't complain like she used to. Eric, on the other hand, had surprisingly defended her to both Donna and Hyde. Though they still got on each other's nerves, Jackie had seen Eric in a new light. Africa did him a lot of good, maturing him in more ways than the others. He had given Donna a piece of his mind when he had found out about all the happenings. She and Eric were still together and doing quite well but sometimes you could still see the strained tension there.

Then there was Steven Hyde. The great love of her fucking life...bastard. He had only ever told her that he loved her once, but her heart couldn't deny how much she wanted him. She hated that she still wanted him even after he broke her heart countless times. For the most part, they stayed out of each other's ways though he stilled burned her when he got the chance.

She sighed as the Vista Cruiser pulled up to the swanky eatery that was housing the Kelso wedding rehearsal dinner. A wedding was not at the top of Jackie's lists of things to do, but she reluctantly pulled her happiest face on as she got out of the car and was greeted with a giant bear hug from one Michael Kelso.

"Michael! Stop it! Let me go, you're going to ruin my dress!" Jackie exclaimed loudly.

"Oh come on Jackie! I've missed you and besides, I'm always going to be allowed to hug you like that, whether you like it or not! Now come on, the dinner smells awesome!" Kelso stated, smiling happily at her and the rest of the crew.

Jackie smiled. It was funny how he could always retain his child-like innocence. All six of them meandered into the dining hall where they were instantly greeted by Brooke, her bridesmaids, and both sides the family. Eric was immediately tense seeing Casey Kelso there, even though Donna put a reassuring hand on his arm. Some things really never changed and Eric's jealousy was one of them. This, of course, gave Jackie time to easily slip away to the bar to order a drink.

The rest of the night went as follows: Fez drunkenly tried to sleep with all Brooke's bridesmaids and failed, Casey Kelso repeatedly hit on Donna which enraged the twizzler to no end, and Hyde kept trying to convince Kelso that marriage was a conspiracy made up by the government to keep the people in line. Jackie had lightly sipped her cranberry vodka, all night, and watched everything happen. Brooke talked to her a few times and asked the general questions of how she was and what she was up to these days. All in all, Jackie really liked Brooke. On one of Brooke's last rounds to talk to Jackie, Jackie asked her if she was happy in her decision to marry Kelso.

"Michael makes me so angry that sometimes I can't stand it! But then I see him with Betsy and I fall in love all over again, so yes I'm very happy to be marrying Michael Kelso," Brooke replied before ordering a diet coke.

"Well you just tell me if he does anything out of line, and I'll kick his ass for you," Jackie laughed downing the rest of her drink.

"I'll have no problem doing just that!" Brooke laughed as well. Just then Kelso, Hyde, and Fez walked over.

"Hey Brooke, you didn't get some disco-dancing, ABBA-singing band to play tomorrow did you? I asked your future husband but he, of course, has no idea," Hyde asked as Fez swayed into him, "Man, watch what you're doing!"

"Fez is sworry! Swo sowwry! Fez needs to sleep, and no body better put a dress on him thisss time!" Eric had come over with Donna at the time Fez stated this. All three friends swore up and down that they wouldn't do that to Fez, and Fez happily believed them before falling asleep at the dinner table. Evil grins were shared all around as the guys pulled Fez up and deposited him in the Vista Cruiser. Donna collected her purse and Eric's jacket before saying goodnight to Brooke and following them.

"Actually, if they ask you, I let Michael decide on the band," Brooke said quietly.

"You didn't?" Jackie exclaimed! Tomorrow would definitely be an interesting day, that was for sure.

"Yeah well, Michael felt left out so I let him have full reign of what we would be listening to and dancing to tomorrow night at the reception. Probably not my favorite part of this wedding but I have to trust him at some point I guess! Good night Jackie!"

"Yeah maybe you're right. Well get some rest! I'm sure everything will be great tomorrow and good night to you to Brooke," Jackie said before jumping in the Vista Cruiser.
