Ch. 1
Kitty: "Jackie, honey, I am going to miss you so much! You have been like a daughter to me, and you have been a pleasure to have in our home!" Kitty begins to cry and hugs Jackie tightly.
Jackie: "OOH, Mrs. Forman, I love all of you so much too! This has been my family and my home for the past few years, I don't know how I can ever thank you enough!" Jackie was actually being considerate and surprisingly unselfish.
"It's just amazing that I was able to live in such rugged conditions for those few years, and look at me, for lacking money, I still look good!" a conceited tone in her words.
No one seemed to mind much, cause that was just Jackie, everyone had accepted her ways long ago. They were all going to miss that self centered attitude of hers and her nagging and her stories about her hair or her outfit, or what girl was fat in what dress. No one would ever admit that to Jackie, but they all knew it was true.
Donna: "Jackie, just come here and give me a hug!" Donna had a sad look on her face, as well. She hugged Jackie and then turned to look at Eric, Kelso, and Fez.
Jackie: "Oh yea, Donna, I almost forgot, I can't take everything with me to New York so I am leaving you with Fluffy, my most prized unicorn in the whole world, please take care of him, and DO NOT throw him away!" Jackie's eyes watered and a lump formed in her throat at the mention of her departure without Fluffy.
Donna: "thank you Jackie, I'll take care of Fluffy for you, oh and I also got those make-over tips you left on my bed!" the words came out sarcastically, but with understanding. Jackie was always going to be Jackie, telling Donna she was too tall and that she needed to update her wardrobe.
The boys walked over to Jackie, all giving her their hugs and kisses on the cheeks.
Eric: "well, I will miss you Jackie! You were actually the type of sister that I wished for all of my life, but instead, I got Laurie!" he hugged Jackie tightly and walked over to put his arm around Donna.
Donna and Eric were going to be leaving to Madison in a week, which was going to be great for them. Red was finally well, and working in his own muffler shop, so Eric could finally go to college to become a teacher. Donna was going to get her degree in broadcasting and journalism.
Kelso was next to come over to Jackie. He grabbed her roughly and gave her a huge bear hug.
Jackie: "Michael, you are hurting me!" she screamed up at him.
Kelso: "sorry Jackie." he released his grip. "I just wanted to tell you, if you ever need a guy to have nice, worry free sex with, you now how to find me!" he said with a huge confident grin on his face.
Jackie: "Michael!" she slapped him on the arm. "We are not going to be sleeping together, ever. I stopped that type of relationship with you two years ago, after you wouldn't stop cheating on me!" she slapped him again, but then gave him another hug. "I am still going to miss you!" she had a few tears coming down her cheeks now.
Fez: "Hey, move on it is my turn to say bye!" Fez shoved Kelso away and gave Jackie the biggest hug ever!
Jackie: "Fez, I will miss you so much, I can't wait till next month when you come to New York. I will make sure to have your room good and ready for you! Just wait till you see the condo my agent found for me, it is glorious, well, the picture of it is glorious, but whatever!" she hugged Fez and kissed him on each cheek.
Fez: "Okay, Jackie, just remember, take good care of your hair while I am gone, I packed plenty of conditioner and the perfect line of care products." Fez began going over the steps that they had went over the previous week.
Red: "Alright, everyone, it is time for us to get going to Milwaukee, we have to make sure Jackie catches her flight on time." Since Point Place didn't have an airport, they had to drive all the way to the airport in Milwaukee. This would give Red plenty of time to tell Jackie his true feelings about her, without everyone going weird on him.
Jackie got into the car, while Kelso, Fez, and Eric put all of her bags into the trunk. Red got in and started the car. They all ran over to the window to give a last goodbye hug to Jackie. Red then pulled out of the drive, as Jackie looked back to say goodbye to the house she had called a home for the last, most important 3 years of her life. She started to cry there in the front seat of the car.
Red put his hand over her hand and began to comfort her.
Red: "It will be alright, Jackie. There will still be a phone in New York for you to call everyone." he paused for a second, and then shouted, "You aren't having second thoughts, are you? New York is the best thing that could happen to you, you have a bright future ahead of you so don't screw that up by staying here in Point Place!" he stated as he shook his index finger at her. "I see much more for you, you are a smart girl, with the brightest future. I only want the best for you. When Kitty and I took you in, I thought you would be a huge hassle, but you have turned out to be a wonderful girl. I am very proud of you, Jackie." Red actually expressed his feelings without stuttering or missing a few words.
Red was never good at telling people how he felt, but he was truly proud of Jackie, and at that moment, he realized he was truly proud of Eric and he had to let him know that as soon as he got back to Point Place.
As they arrived at the airport, Red helped Jackie out and to the proper gate with her luggage. He then gave her the greatest hug she could ever have asked for. It was like the hug a father would give his baby girl when she was leaving him to go off to college. Red then kissed her on the forehead.
Jackie began to cry, "I will miss you so much Mr. Forman, or should I say, Dad!" she told him with so much respect in her voice.
At the very moment the word "dad" came out of her mouth, Red's eyes teared up. Damned if he would cry in front of her, Red Forman didn't cry in front of anyone, not even Kitty!
Red: "I am going to miss you too, Jackie!" he kissed her forehead again and gave her one last hug. "oh, here you go, I wanted you to have this." he handed her a thick envelope. "now get on that plane and make all of you dreams come true, before I change my mind and make you stay!" he said with a shaky voice.
Jackie: "what is this?" she held up the envelope.
Red: "oh, just a little something from, Kitty and Me, no big deal. You can open it while you are on the plane, or better yet, open it when you get to your new house." he said with the most care and concern in his voice.
Jackie: "Alright, I will wait till I get to my new home, I will miss you so much, I will call as soon as I get to New York, just to let Kitty know that I made it there in perfect condition." with that she hugged Red one last time and turned to board the plane, just as they made the final boarding call.
Her new life was about to begin, and she couldn't wait, though she couldn't help but think of the times she would miss with these special people she was leaving behind.
