Chapter 21 – Bragging Rights

The crew of WBPP Television accompanied Donna to the unveiling of Black Gold. The oil change was filmed and did indeed take just less than ten minutes. A professional photographer took a picture of Jackie standing with her crew which later became a sort of "Welcome to Point Place" poster. (Although many guys bought the poster because the girls were hot.)

Eric and Donna's meet and greet wasn't as awkward as they thought it would be due largely to Jackie. They both loved her and she loved them back. Donna had 75 percent of Jackie's book already written and told her about a producer that thought it could be a great TV movie of the week.

Hyde and Kelso brought their cars to watch the girls and see if Red was right in his "woman are just as good" mentality and yeah, he was right. Jackie's crew was professional and Jackie herself was down in the bay changing oil along with the girls.

Eric stood by looking proud. He knew what Jackie had gone through to get this far. Fez came by to stand with him. "Eric, you are lucky. Jackie was gone all this time and comes back just to be your fiancée."

Eric turned to Fez, "Actually, she's been here for a long time. Remember Princess Bee?"

"I loved her. I was so sad when she left the library."

Eric smiled. "Jackie was Princess Bee."

Fez's eyes got big. "Aiiiy! I thought I recognized her. Is that a burn?"

Eric thought about it, "Yeah, it kinda is." He laughed. There was a commotion coming from the waiting room. Hyde was dragging out Pam, "She's having the baby. Fez, drive us to the hospital."

"Why me?"

"Because my oil is being changed you idiot! Do you want to deliver this kid?"

Eric laughed as the brown man and curly haired man tried to get a plump Pam into the front seat of the tiny Fiat. They looked like a circus act trying to fit in a Volkswagen.

Red and Kitty were smiling as a couple members from the Chamber came by to see the operation of the new business. "Red, I knew you'd be great for this city. Kitty, congrats on the sale of your Snicker Doodles. Point Place will finally be back on the map once again. We'll see you in the front car of the Labor Day parade."

Kitty gasped. "Did you hear that? We get to sit with the Mayor!"

Red smiled, "Yes I did, and then you and I are getting the heck out of town."

"Oh Red Forman, I love you."

"I know dear." He smiled contentedly

Jackie's book, Black Gold, authored by Donna Pinciotti-Pearson, was a runaway best seller. Jackie Forman inspired young girls everywhere to take Shop and Auto classes in addition to Home Economics in high school. Cheerleaders realized that they needed a skill to fall back on when they graduated.

Eric drove up the Forman driveway in a cherry red Ferrari with a baby seat in the back. That was the first clue that Kitty had she was about to become a grandmother.

Hyde took to walking his curly-headed son down the street everyday to see Grandpa Red at work. He made sure to tell little Stevie that cars were good and mom's soap operas were bad.

Red didn't mind the occasional visitors. His garage is where the magic started and he was happy with that. He could brag that his shop was the only one in the state of Wisconsin that employed ex-NASCAR crew members. He was seriously thinking of expanding business. His employees ran the garage so well, he and Kitty took several road trips and he enjoyed himself for a change.

Donna and Randy bought the old Pinciotti house back from the current owners. The sale of the book gave Donna the opportunity to start her own paper in Point Place and she had plenty of advertisers that wanted to go with the woman owned newspaper. Plus, Donna had a niece or nephew due in a few months and wanted to be there.

The young woman who was responsible for bringing all the friends back together was on the miniature golf course showing her husband how to shoot a par one after ten tries. He knew how to do it of course; he just liked the way Jackie showed him!

Point Place was going to be a nice place to live and go up in.

The End.
