Things quieted down for Eric and Jackie at least for a few days. Other than Kelso telling Fez and hi getting all mad and refusing to speak to Eric or Jackie. After three days Fez couldn't take it anymore and showed up. He wanted the whole story.

The whole story took about three hours to tell because Eric and Jackie would interrupt each other to include something they thought was important. Fez was amazed at how these two had become a couple. Not just any couple but the best couple in his mind.

Brooke and Kelso came back that weekend. Brooke, Kitty and Jackie went out dress shopping. Eric was changing the oil on his Camaro. Red was sitting by watching because as he put it, "It's my damn garage dumbass and I don't want oil all over the floor." Eric had to laugh, he knew his dad loved him but Red would always hide behind the dumbass line. Eric was under the car and not visible when Red saw Donna pop out of the bushes.

"Hey Red!"

"Hey Donna!" Red replied, while Eric froze. He was hopeful that Jackie would be here when they saw Donna.

"Red, have you heard from Eric lately?"

"Yeah, he came home about a week ago."

"Really? I figured I would have heard from him."

"Well, Donna you two aren't dating. I think he has moved on too!" Eric was smiling under the car. Red was giving Donna a hard time but was it for him or just for fun.

"I know but we were such good friends. Anyway if you see him, ask him to call me?"

"Sure'

Donna left and about five minutes later as Eric crawled out from under the car, the ladies returned from shopping. Eric was made to look in the fridge while Kitty ran the dress inside. When Eric was allowed to stop looking in the fridge he found a smiling Jackie in front of him.

He couldn't help himself and kissed her. The old Jackie would have freaked because Eric hadn't gotten all the grease off his fingers. The new one not so much. When she was released Jackie said "missed me that much?"

"More than ever!"

Jackie smiled even bigger. Red broke the pair up when a cough and said "no mushy crap in here! Don't forget you have a giant redhead who's looking for you."

"Donna?" Jackie asked

"Yup, she's back and stopped by. I was under the car and Red didn't sell me out. Want to go ahead and finish telling our friends?"

"And rub in that lumberjack's face that I got you and I am never letting go!"

Red had to laugh at Jackie's statement. If any of Eric's friends were going to be his daughter in-law than why not the best one.

Eric called over to Donna's house and said he was free if she wanted to stop by. Eric and Jackie were lying on the hood of the vista cruiser when Donna arrived.

"Oh my god! Jackie you're back too?"

"Yes lumberjack!"

"Where the hell did you go?"

"I went to Africa and was with Eric!"

"Eric you never told me you Dillhole!"

"Nope. Jackie would have killed me. Besides you and I weren't on the best of terms then."

"Neither were we Donna!" Jackie added

"I know I am sorry about that. I was a giant Dillhole!"

"No you were a giant BITCH! Sorry but there was no other way to say that Donna!"

"Sorry Jackie!"

"It's in the past now Donna. How's Randy?"

"He's great. He'll get here on Monday. He had to work."

"Cool. Umm Donna, We have to tell you something…" Eric started

Donna had a questioning look on her face.

Jackie finished "Eric and I are together. We are getting married on New Year's Eve!"

Donna fainted! Eric looked over the hood and yelled for his mom. Once his mom gave the word that it was ok to move Donna. Kelso came out and grabbed Donna's feet while Eric grabbed her hands. They dumped her on the couch in living room and went on with their day. Why should they stop because Donna fainted?

Jackie sat down and braided Betsy's hair for her. Brooke was telling Jackie all about Michael's chance at a job back in Point Place. They both wanted out of Chicago, it was expensive and they didn't like it there. Kelso added that now that his two best friends were back, he had even more reason to come back.
