Jackie turned on the news, commercial. She shrugged, and picked up the phone.

The overly friend 18-year-old intern would soon pick up, it would be the one girl who was younger than her that always kept an eye out for the phones. At least her name wasn't Samantha, although she looked a lot like her "Hello Lisa, this is Miss Burkhart, listen carefully, I want you to check on the 6:12 train for me." Jackie waited looking at the manicure she had given herself after receiving Donna's news, a small celebration of things to come.

"Yes I'm still her… alright thank you"

Jackie hung up, damn, I wanted to tell him. She placed the card carefully on the counter and wrote on a post-it next to it "surprise" drawing a heart around the word.

She put one plate back in the freezer and placed the other in the microwave. She took out of the fridge a few slices of cheese and a celery stalk, this had become her favorite dinner, and she could manage it on her own, only dirtying a knife once a month to slice up the latest block of cheese she got from the deli. She went into the living room, trying to look at a magazine, the phone caught her eye. She had to R.S.V.P.

"Oh hello Eric, I got the party invitation and I was just calling to"

Eric standing in his kitchen "Jackie, Donna's not here and the party was sort of my idea, it's a surprise. So…"

Jackie "Eric Forman you are your mother's son, who throws someone a surprise graduation party, and for that matter doesn't mention in the card that it's a surprise."

Eric sitting on the counter "Calm down, she-witch, I kept trying to call you and I know you sleep early so I tried every morning to find Fez and…"

Jackie "oh that's our fault we disconnect the phone in the bedroom from the time I go to sleep till Fez wakes up for work," on most nights we're never really asleep at the same time, so there rarely isn't someone to pick up."

Eric "Jackie, Jackie listen, everyone else got a phone call, you were the only one I sent a card, but anyhow, I know Donna would love to see you again. Can you…"

Jackie "Wouldn't miss it for the world, Fez will be jumping through hoops…"

Eric "Jackie, Jackie listen, I have to go the red engine has just entered Franklyn Museum."

Jackie "Is that nerd for Donna came home, cause I think I may have preferred Star Wars analogies."

Eric "Can't go there again, all those years of calling you Vader, makes you my father, one day I may get over that, but for now its still too confusing. Jackie? Jackie?"

Donna "was that Jackie?"

Eric "She hung up after I started talking about Star Wars"

Donna "What did she want?"

Eric "Oh who knows, I told you'd call her tomorrow, there's only so many days left before the doctor moves in with us and the game changes." Kisses her.

Donna " Oh yeah, what's the new game going to be?" Pecks him and then starts messing around with the food Eric has been cooking on the stove top.

Eric "that's between me and my doctor." He says softly, while looking at her ass as she bends down to get something out of the cabinet beneath the range.
