I do not own that 70's Show! I wish I did! R&R
Eric Forman stared at the sleeping face of the woman he loved he couldn't believe he was so lucky that she took him back after what he put her through by going to Africa. The good thing was he had stayed long enough to earn his scholarship. The bad thing is everything had changed. Hyde was different, Jackie was different, Donna was different even Kelso had grown up (well a little anyway) Fez was the only one who hadn't changed. He knew Donna was going to go to school in Madison he knew she had to leave soon to be in time for the next semester. What she didn't know was that Eric had applied as well. As soon as he found out he was coming home and that his scholarship was attached, he began the process of applying . He had retaken his SAT's, scoring a 1200. He wasn't a dumbass after all. He managed to also get a loan to cover the rest of his school costs. He was going to be a teacher. He hadn't told anyone this. Just like he hadn't told them what really happened in Africa. No one questioned his return or had even asked him why he was released early. They just assumed he had quit. Unable to follow through with yet another project. Well he was going to prove them all wrong.
Donna smiled and turned in her sleep her eyes opening up to see Eric staring down at her. "You look different," She said.
"Well Donna I was in Africa for a long time of course I look different"
"No, that's not it." She said staring into his eyes. You look like you've made a decision about something. You look determined. Like that time I compared you to a Twizzler and you came to the studio" Eric laughed at the memory. And she sat up and stared at the man who truly was the love of her life.
"Eric, I really missed you." She said seriously. "Things were so different when you left. I just felt lost and I didn't want anyone else to be happy. I just wanted you here with me. I really love you . And I don't want to leave but I have to go to Madison"
"I know." Eric, who was also now sitting up looked down and wrapped his fingers around Donna's. "But this time I am coming with you. I got an apartment near the school and I start classes the same time you do. I am going to be a teacher Donna and I want to be with you. I don't want to be apart again" Eric pulled Donna into his side. "If Africa taught me anything, it was to hold on to the people you love and hold them tight."
"Well we are having a welcome home party for you tonight. So you can hold on to everyone else then. Right now, I want to hold on to you some more" Donna slid her hand up under the covers and left no doubt as to her meaning. Eric groaned and the two slid back under the covers to make up for some more "lost time"
So what really happened to Eric in Africa? How will he feel about the way Donna's been acting towards some of her friends?
