Author's Note: Today's Monday and you know what that means. Well usually it means a start of a long school week but not this week. This Monday just means a new Chapter to Learning to Fly! I'm really glad you guys are enjoying it and I am so grateful for the reviews. They really brighten my day and help encourage me to finish this story. (No it's not finished, but I'm chapters ahead. No delays should occur.) But enough of this, I hope you like this next chapter and will let me know what you think! Enjoy!


Jackie and Will were on their way to the Forman House. They'd driven to Point Place, so Jackie could have more time to gather her courage. She'd done it too, but the moment she saw the sign, that read "Welcome to Point Place!" she lost it all.

Will reached over and grabbed Jackie's hand giving it a slight squeeze. She gave a shy smile, before turning her head to face out the window just in time to se the Forman House to pull up beside her.

"You ready?" Will asked after hearing Jackie take in a deep breath.

"Will, I think I better go ring the doorbell first and then when someone comes I'll come get you."

Will nodded, "Sure thing babe." Jackie slowly opened the door and climbed out. "I will be right here waiting for you." He sang after her; but Jackie couldn't hear him. Her mind was fixed on making her way to the front door.

It was a trip that felt like the climbing of a mountain, but in reality was just a few steps away. A minute or two later she reached the door and the pounding in her heart became louder and louder. She couldn't even hear the doorbell ring, when she pressed it. This was taking too long. Maybe no one was home. Maybe this was a sign that she shouldn't have come. Jackie started to turn away when the front door came bursting open, revealing a tall, well built, shoulder length red-haired woman. The two recognized each other instantly.

"Oh my God, Jackie?"

"Hi Donna…" was all Jackie managed to say before Donna embraced her in a hug.

"Hi." Donna pulled away, "What the Hell are you doing here?"

"It's nice to see you too." Jackie replied.

Donna shook her head, "I'm sorry Jackie, but I haven't seen you in almost nine years. And you live in Chicago, what on Earth processed you to come back here?" she asked as the two walked inside the Forman House and sat down on the yellow couch.

"I heard about Red." Jackie explained softly.

"Oh." Donna said before trying to come up with something to more to say. "He's doing better you know."

"Really?" Jackie asked obviously concerned.

"Yeah, well he's in the hospital. That's where Kitty is right now."

Jackie nodded while trying to come up with a conversation that wouldn't deal with a sick Red or a certain someone she wanted to stay clear away from. She did not even want to hear the mention of his name

"So you and Eric are living here huh?" she asked and Donna frowned with confusion.

"What?"

"No, no Donna it's ok. It must be great living here with your in-laws." Jackie said seriously "the kids are probably staying in Laurie and Eric's old rooms, right? And you and Eric have the whole basement to yourselves…" she went on ignoring Donnas' cries of her name.

"You could turn that place into a whole apartment…sort of. The basement was always a great room…"

"Jackie!" Donna yelled finally getting her attention "Eric and I do not live here."

"Oh thank God!" Jackie said as she placed her hand over her chest, Donna had to laugh.

"My dad gave us his house right after Ally was born. He lives in an apartment not too far away."

Jackie smiled, "Ally. That's the baby right?" Donna shrugged

"I guess five years old is still a baby." Jackie gasped softly.

"Five years old? And how old is Luke?"

"Seven." Donna said proudly

"Wow I can't believe how much time has gone by."

"I know. And you still look exactly the same." Donna pointed out and Jackie grinned.

"Thanks. So do you." She paused, "And this living room."

Donna laughed just as the doorbell rang. "Gee if that's Hy…" she stopped her words as she stopped at the door, "High kids running around the block, we'll really be back in the seventies."

Jackie gave a sad smile, she knew who Donna meant. Steven. But wait, that means he's not here! She was safe, she had nothing to worry about, she wouldn't see him here. So why wasn't she happy?

"Did you forget something, sweetheart?"

Jackie turned her head, breaking her daze, to see Donna standing by the door along side Will.

"Oh Will! I'm so sorry!" she said jumping to her feet.

"I'm guessing you know him?" Donna questioned as she closed the door and Jackie made her way to the two.

"Um Will this is Donna. Donna this is my fiancé Will Geller."

Donnas' eyes became wide, "Fiancé?"

"Yes." Will answered for her sticking his hand out, "Donna I've heard so much about you, you redhead lumberjack." He said jokingly, "Where's your scrawny husband Eric?"

Donna looked at the man in disbelief, "What did he just call me? And Eric he's scrawny…anymore…really" she shook her head, shaking her self from her thoughts, before shaking Will's hand.

"It's nice to meet you." Will said with a smile.

"It's nice to meet you too." Donna said trying her best to sound like she meant it.

"And look at this ring!" Jackie exclaimed lifting up her left hand to reveal a very nice princess cut diamond ring.

Donna held Jackie's hand to get a better look, "Oh my God Jackie it's…bigger then mine." she said sadly. Will gave a small smile and Jackie titled her head feeling sympathy for her friend. "Um why don't we sit down?" she asked changing the subject as she motioned towards the couch, and then the three moved to the sitting area.

Donna and Jackie went back to sitting on the couch and Will took a seat in Red's green pea soup colored chair. Donna stared at him.

"So where is everyone?" Jackie asked keeping Donna from thinking any more negative thoughts about Will.

"Oh well Red and Kitty are at the hospital, Eric and the kids are either in the backyard or over at our house, my dad has date night or as I like to call it Bingo, and Kelso and Fez are at the shop."

Jackie frowned, "The shop?"

Donna nodded, "Yeah, they opened up a candy shop about three years ago. Brooke is in on it too, she's the one who that really makes it a business. If it wasn't for her, Fez and Kelso would just be selling candy to each other." Donna joked and the couple laughed.

"Wow, Fez and Kelso opened a candy shop." Will thought out loud, "I would have thought they would have opened a porn store or you know a porn candy shop."

The girls laughed. Donnas' however was fake and she frowned for a few seconds, "Who is this guy?'" she thought to herself only to be interrupted by Jackie once again.

"Well Donna it was great seeing you, but I think I should try and see Red and Kitty before it gets too late. He is why I came."

"Oh yeah right." Donna agreed as they all stood up and walked to the door. "Hey how long are you guys gonna be in town?" she asked before the couple stepped outside.

Jackie stared at her friend and then up at her fiancé. He gave a smile, "As long as we need to." Jackie gave a large grin before squeezing his hand, as a silent thank you.

Donnas' smile grew as well, "Great, you two could stay over with me and Eric if you want. I know how hotels can…"

"Oh we've already got a hotel for a few days." Will informed.

"Oh." Donna said trying not to sound too disappointed, but Jackie could tell.

"But if we decide to stay longer, you'll be the first person we think of." Jackie reassured.

"Ok great." Donna replied, her smile slowly reappearing "Hey you should come over tomorrow. For dinner you know. At our house."

"Um…" Jackie struggled not sure if she was ready.

"We'd love to." Will said with a smile.

"Great! Well I'll see you tomorrow, say seven thirty?"

Jackie nodded, "Sounds great."

Donna smiled and the couple walked outside and then to their car, "Hey Jackie," Donna called out causing Jackie to turn around and see her standing under the doorframe. "It was great seeing you again."

Jackie smiled, "I know."

Donna shook her head and laughed, same old Jackie. 'One down and still a lot more to go.' Jackie thought to herself as she closed the door of the car, bracing herself for the next reunion she would have.
