June 3rd.

"Jackie, over here"

"Mrs. Forman, I wasn't expect you" Jackie said hugging her

Kitty "That's the idea, they haven't told me anything, they only invited me, its need to know" smiles big "I think my son thinks we're loose lipped."

Jackie's small laugh "Yea, oh I have so much to tell you… Mr. Forman?" as Kitty leads her towards him, Jackie hugs him.

Red doesn't hug back "Alright I got your bags, you know you're only going to be here for the weekend, right?"

Jackie smiles "Yeah, Eric told me so little about what was going to happen I had to bring a large range…"

Red "It's alright I'm sure the other dumbass isn't bringing much, you stand here and wait for him, I'll start piling up the car."

Kitty "Red, who else is coming?" both women look confused.

Red "A Kelso" pointing behind them.

Jackie turns and Kelso picks her up and hugs her

Jackie "Michael!"

Kelso "Jackie." Kelso goes to hug kitty.

Jackie looks around "Did you come alone?"

Kelso "Yeah, Betsy painted Donna a picture, but she's spending the weekend with my parents, you know I'm the only one who's given them a grandchild, I'm the favorite now. Kelso smiled proudly, Jackie smiled at him.

Kelso "So where's Fez?" Looking all around.

Jackie "He couldn't come, there was another late night taping, and there's quite a few actress who don't let anyone else touch their hair"

Kelso "Huh, I thought he worked in television"

Jackie "He does"

Kelso "This actress I dated told me most shows don't start taping for a couple of weeks, "

Jackie just smiled, she was well aware of when the fall season started taping, there were after all quite a few local shows in the same station as the news, who shared the small studio space, but she didn't feel like discussing marriage this weekend, unless it was Eric and Donna's.

The car pulled up to Eric and Donna's apartment. Eric met them outside,

Eric "I sent her on ahead, but I can't go with you, here's the tickets, I'll meet you there, you're pretty far from the podium, so she shouldn't notice you till she gets up there, she's only one of eight people getting two degrees so they've planned out this special ceremony for the graduates, so she wont take the stage till the very end, you may have to sit through a few hours worth of undergraduates. Come to think of it, you may want to show up a little late, here take my house keys, I've got to run." Eric had talked so fast, his friends and family just sort of stood there and stared at him pacing.

Kitty "I'm sure he'll be better later on today, it hasn't been easy keeping this from Donna." Kitty leads the way to the small one bedroom apartment.

An hour later that same day

"Forman, sorry about that man. I had to catch a later flight." Embracing each other.

Eric "No problem Hyde, but we're a little behind so we should get going."

Hyde "Look it's my fault you're so behind, and Donna might suspect something if she doesn't see you there."

Eric "Oh you don't know me, I have my little ways. Brooke is over there 'meeting an old friend' she should be running into Donna soon, she'll tell her she just saw me and was looking for her."

Hyde "Forman man, I can't believe I'm saying this but I think… nope I just can't do it." Laughs and slaps Forman on the back. "I think you've finally come along, although there's still a little time left for you to screw this up" grins

Thirty minutes later, at a small park with a couple of picnic tables.

Eric holding on to what looks like a badly built small garage door. "Right let's set this up quickly"

Hyde "Forman, man what is that thing?"

Eric "The band, they need a stage to play on."

Hyde "Man, you give them that thing, they'll band up and leave."

Eric "Well, what else can I do?"

Hyde "You go on, keep her distracted I'll deal with this."

Eric "I should be ok for a while still, Bob should be moving in on Donna any minute now."

Hyde "Alright, well go plug in this extension cord and I'll start hanging up the lights…" walking towards the trees surrounding the small park with a string of Christmas lights.

Forman "Where is that…"

The graduation audience, Eric comes running towards them.

"Hey guys, thanks for keeping a seat for me, now get out of here."

Kelso "What the hell?"

Red "We've been sitting here watching a stream of dumbasses walk across the stage, while you're mother looks through her camera and asks every time she sees long red hair if its Donna. And now you're asking us to leave, get me a cap, cause my foot is about to graduate in your ass."

Eric "I don't have time to argue, Donna ran into Brooke, and she now suspects that there's something going on, and I want to throw her off the path."

Jackie "I can't believe your screwing up already."

Kelso "BURN"

Red rolls his eyes "Oh let's just go, where now dumbass?"

Eric "The park next to my apartment" he says while sitting down in a seat and flipping through a program.
