Meanwhile, back at the house...
Jackie
In Jackie's bedroom the bedside phone rang, awakening Jackie.
"Mm hello?" she asked sleepily.
"Mrs. Burkhart?" a young female voice asked.
"Yeah who is this?"
"Ashley."
"Uh, Ashley...?"
"Lily's friend."
"Oh. Whatdayawant?"
"I want to know how to get to Diane's."
"Diane, Steven's friend?"
"Yeah thats what Lily told me."
"Oh."
Jackie gave Ashley Diane's number then hung up.
When her husband wasn't there she barely noticed. She, Donna, Eric and Michael had grown apart over the years. The only person she really considered a friend was Fez who, not surprisingly, had turned out to be gay. He and Steven had had a short relationship in college. Jackie and Steven had gotten married right out of high school and then gone to New York where they were swept up into the 80's, drugs, AIDS and partying. Neither of them had contracted the deadly disease but theyd met some people who had, including a stripper and a crossdresser by the name of Angel, who'd died shortly. He - she? - was the glue that held everyone together. During their time in New York Steven had gotten involved and taken care of Mimi, the stripper.
