A/N: Yeah, I apologize but this chapter is really short. The real excitement is going to be coming in the next chapter... and the next chapter will be longer. I promise.

Disclaimer: I do not own That 70's Show or any of the characters. I do, however, own future OC characters that will come in the future. Enjoy.


One Step at a Time


It had been three whole years since Jackie left. Things weren't great, but they were far better than they had been in the beginning.

In the beginning, Fez would cry all day about the departure of his "goddess", Kelso kept one of Jackie's stuffed animals with him everywhere… which was kind of creepy, worst of all Donna and Hyde had fought constantly. It was intense verbal abuse, even when Hyde asked Sam for a divorce and found out their entire marriage was void due to the fact that she was already married. Hyde asked for the divorce the day Jackie left. Donna was pissed that it took Jackie's leaving for him to finally come to his senses.

But now it was three years and things were much better. Things had become a lot better when Eric came back from Africa. He and Donna were engaged to be married yet again.

Fez was doing a whole lot better; he owned his own hair salon now. Kelso was now a cop and married to Brooke; he no longer kept any of Jackie's stuffed animals… which was really good. It was only Hyde was still spiraling downward. He was doing great with his record store, but that hole in his heart continued to grow.

Currently, Donna and Eric were making out in his basement as if they were teenagers again. The two were certainly enjoying themselves. That was until Fez came in and ruined everything.

"Oooh, kinky." Fez said sitting down on the couch next to them.

They both stared at him.

"Fez, can we have a little privacy?" Eric asked.

"If you wanted privacy then you two would have gotten your own place by now." He stated in a matter o' fact tone.

"He's so right." Eric said shaking his head in mock shame.

"Oh no! He is." Donna said just as mockingly.

"Well, of course he is." Hyde said walking out from his room and then sat on his chair. He scratched his face lightly; his infamous beard was back.

Donna glared at him. Yes, they were on good terms now thanks to Eric but she still held a lot of hostility towards him. Hyde just ignored her look.

"You're one to talk since you still live in this house too." Eric stated.

"Yeah, but I don't have anyone to be private with so it doesn't matter." Hyde countered.

"Once again, someone other than us is right." Eric said with a defeated sigh.

Hyde just shrugged. The room became silent for awhile.

"This is so boring." Fez said standing up. "I'm going upstairs to see if Mrs. Foreman made cookies." He said then rushed up the stairs.

"The guy is grown up and he still gets excited over chocolate chip cookies." Eric said.

"Foreman, you still get excited over your mom making you smiley face pancakes." Hyde said in defense of his foreign friend.

"Everyone's against me." Eric said bowing his head in defeat. Donna laughed softly and patted his knee.

"Oh my God!" The trio heard Kitty shout from upstairs.

"What the hell did Fez do now?" Hyde asked as they all rushed upstairs.

They ran to where Kitty shouted, which was the front door.

Kitty and Fez were both embracing a small brunette. Both were also crying. The girl laughed nervously.

"Jackie!" The trio exclaimed.

The brunette bombshell was back.
