A few hours later, Donna had fallen asleep, and Eric lay down next to her, observing her face.

He loved her. Now, he truly realized that he loved her.

And though they had had their difficulties- he would always love her.

This wasn't just desire anymore, the whole I-do-not-want-to-be-a-virgin-anymore thing. That was a long time ago.

In the meantime, Eric had realized that even without her body- without her gorgeous looks, he would still love her.

That, he knew, was a very strange feeling. He, and Kelso and Fez and Hyde, had always judged the "chicks" on their outside appearance.

But Eric now realized- and he really thought it was strange- that he loved Donna, not only her looks, but her whole "Donna".

It felt strange, but as he looked at her sleeping face, he enjoyed just the sweet sight of her, he didn't even have to touch her.

"This is love." he sighed, and then he laughed.

"I am truly getting old. No! No!"

But it was love, and he knew it.
