Ok, So in light of recent spoilers, I decided to write this in honors of all the heartbroken zennies over at Fan Forum. Unless you've read the spoilers through 8-20, you probably shouldn't read this, cause you won't get it. If you have, I'm just trying to rectify the situation that the stupid writers have created. The first chapter is mostly expository and it will get MUCH more J/H later on…
I don't usually write in script format, so expect more in-depth chapters later ((if there IS a later))…

"God, this feels so weird" Donna said, looking around the basement.
"Yeah, tell me about it"
"I can't believe the Formans are actually selling their house. Where are we supposed to hang out now?"
"Well, it's not like we're going to be doing much hanging out. You're going off to Madison, Kelso's in Chicago, Eric's in Africa…" Hyde trailed off. Donna just nodded.
"So where are you gonna go?"
"I don't know, man. I mean, I guess I'm gonna stay in Point Place, now that I've got the record store."
"Ooh! You can move in with me! Ever since Jackie left, I've been so lonely. But with you there, it'll be like a sleepover every night!"
Hyde looked at Fez like he had just grown three heads. "Yeah, no thanks, man. I'm not really a 'roommates' kinda guy. Unless that roommate happens to be female, of course." He finished, nodding his head.
Donna looked at him mock-disgustedly and shook her head, then turned to Fez. "Speaking of Jackie, what happened to her? I haven't seen her in like three days."
"Yeah, I haven't seen her since she moved out of my apartment, but I figured she was only ignoring me. You two haven't seen her either?"
"Well, I count any day without Jackie in it as a good one, so I've just been counting my blessings and not asking questions." Hyde added.
"Well, where could she be? I mean, she always comes to me when something like this happens. It's an annoying habit of hers." Donna said, worried. "I'm gonna go to her mom's, see if she knows anything" She got up to leave, but turned when she got to the door. "WELL!"
"Well what?" Fez asked, innocently.
"Aren't either of you two dumbasses going to come with me? You know, seeing as how this is all your fault in the first place!"
"Yeah, I'm gonna pass."
"Hell no"
She shook her head and muttered "Dumbasses" before storming out and slamming the door behind her.
Donna knocked on the door of Jackie's parents' house and waited. Finally, the door swung open to reveal a very angry Jackie.
"Jackie?"
"Well well well. Look who finally decided to show up to comfort her ailing friend in her time of need. Well, you don't have to worry. I don't need you."
"Aw, Jackie, I'm really sorry. I've just been so busy with my dad moving, and breaking up with Randy and my move to Madison. I just didn't really have time to come by. Can I come in?"
Jackie sighed. "Fine" She backed up and opened the door a little wider. "But I wanna see some serious groveling"
"OK Jackie." Donna said sarcastically, shaking her head.
When they got to Jackie's old room, Jackie plopped down on her bed.
"God, I don't know what to do anymore, Donna"
"What do you mean?" Donna said, sitting next to her on the bed.
"Everyone's moving on with their lives, and I just keep going backwards. I don't have a boyfriend, I don't have my own place, I don't have a job…" She was crying now, and threw her head onto Donna's shoulder.
After crying for a while, she finally came up for air.
"I've been thinking a lot about it, and I can't believe how utterly stupid I've been with this whole Fez thing. I mean, come on. I don't like Fez! This whole thing just started because I didn't want Steven to think he could just come crawling back to me after everything. I just wanted to move on. And I still do, but not like that!" She shuddered. "Oh Donna, what am I gonna do? I've probably ruined mine and Fez' entire friendship forever!" She started to cry again.
"Come on, Jackie. Of course you haven't. Look, the Formans are having a farewell party tomorrow night. Fez'll be there. You should come and talk to him."
"You really think that'll work?"
"Sure it will" Donna said, hoping it was true.
"DONNA! Oh my God, Donna!" Jackie shouted, running through the Formans' kitchen door before the party started.
Donna was standing by the stove, helping Mrs. Forman with the preparations.
"What?"
"Oh my God! So, the producers at 'Wake Up Wisconsin' called me this morning, and apparently, Christine St. George is retiring this year, and somebody over there remembered me, and they want me to replace her! How amazing is that?"
"Wow, Jackie, that really is great news."
"I know! It's exactly the kind of thing I've been waiting for!"
"They really just want you to replace her, just like that?"
"Well, before she leaves, they want me to come in and start doing a couple segments on my own, and that gradually they're going to just fade her out or something"
"Wow."
"I know! So, have you talked to Fez?"
"Yeah. Um, Jackie, look, he's not coming"
"What?"
"I don't know. I tried to talk to him, but he's still a little freaked out by the whole thing and he thinks you hate him"
"That coward! Fine, he doesn't want to come, that's his loss. I've got a job to celebrate here!"
"There's the Jackie I know" Donna laughed.
