Good

Oh My Gosh! I finally had enough downtime to finish this, and it is fantastic! I love the intricate story. I just...wow.

There's so much to this that is great, that I can't really pinpoint what my favorite parts are. I binge read the last like, 20 chapters or so, and you are a such a great story teller. What a fun read! And of COURSE Donna would meet with Steinham!

I think I may have said a couple of your other stories were my faves, but this really is my favorite. I will probably reread this another couple of times.

Oh! and the very end with "Grandma Kitty" my heart just melted!

I'm hooked! Jackie's fears brought tears to my eyes. Especially watching her father. I could almost feel my heart breaking for her.

I'm so excited to see where this is headed. The imagery and the carnival characters really bring this story to life!

I also cannot wait to see what everyones regrets are going to be!

Oh no. Fez is so sweet. Out of everything in this chapter, this really touched me.

Damn.

:-) once again thanks

This chapter was hilarious.

And I loved the appearances of Eli and Theo. I could've sworn I read somewhere that Eli was supposed to be in more episodes but they never followed through with his character. So its nice to see him written in this story

Very late with my review for this chapter. Sorry I recently came back from a hiatus from this site, but getting past all that stuff you probably don't care about...great chapter!

P.S. Officer Eric Forman, Animal Control needs to be a lasting thing!

I loved the last scene with the whole gang getting ready to go home. I think it very much showed that they were off to their new beginnings. Hyde taking off with Amber, Jackie and Eric thinking about their future together. Aw and Leo and Tatiana watching from on the roof. So sweet when Leo wants to make sure that his friends will be happy and Tatiana assure him they will be as happy as he has made her—Aww! Then the chant she spoke was worded in such a marvelous way along with the image of the lake, fireworks, and bright moon—perfect!

And then the final scene was just plain awesome! I loved how it’s the gangs kids who are asking these questions and wanting to hear more about the stories of the parents and it’s sweet that Kitty is there to tell the stories to them. I bet Uncle Leo’s Carnival is a favorite of theirs I know it’s become a favorite of mine!

Again Marla this was such a magnificent story! I loved each chapter! It was creative, funny, sweet, and everything in between! Such a joy to read and it really is sad it’s over but you can bet it’ll be one we readers come back to read over again! Thank you so very much for sharing this awesome story with us! I look forward to reading more from you! Till then keep up the always marvelous work!

This was an AMAZINGLY BRILLIANT Chapter! Could not think of a better way to end this story! And while I’m sad that it’s over, I definitely enjoyed this fun and magic filled ride!

I loved the first scene with the gang waiting on Amber and the owner of the company all the while trying to figure out what KLC meant. Jackie’s thoughts about KFC made me laugh, I was reminded of the same thing at first then I thought it could be King Leo C-something. Kelso’s guesses were very Kelso like and I loved the response Donna had about how he needed to marry Brooke and not just use her to help him breed Kelso’s lol Very funny. What happened next with the wooshing of doors and shaking of the floor was not expected and I liked Fez’s Dorothy quote :D

Now Ambers back and leading them all to meet the artist and owner and Hyde is quick to follow LOL I loved that image. We usually see Kelso and Fez falling for the girls like this so it’s funny to see Hyde doing it this time. The outside on the rooftop area sounded just so lovely, your details are breath taking! And ‘ssstoner’..is that Marco?! I liked how before we get that question answered we get another answered instead, who the artist is! The way you had him coming out from the shadows, looking familiar from far away even and then we find out it’s Theo! Yay! His two inches to the left thing is gonna big, now huh? lol I liked how it was him who recognized Eric first and then we get another guest, Leo! Even more Yay’s! :D I JUST LOVED the way you had him enter the scene. Even without being told it was him I could already hear his voice in the line where he talks about not remembering names. Good Ol’ Leo! I loved everyone’s reaction to seeing him, he really had been missed. Hyde even saying how they thought they had lost him was very sweet and Kelso saying ‘do me next!’ for the one armed hug LOL Oh Kelso.

"You know, it's a funny thing man…being back with my son and my family….I think I needed to get my parties in order. I mean privates…no, that's not it." Donna offered some help, "Priorities?" "Hey! It's Donna man. Did you guys know Donna was here?” This was such a funny exchange and something I could see happening in the show itself! I liked hearing more about what Leo had been up to, detail by detail, and then Theo interrupting with his eagerness of wanting to show his newest artwork. It’s was also nice to hear Leo say having everyone there made it feel like old times and when he offered tea the way everyone quickly declined—minus Kelso who apparently liked it—Very funny! :D

Then we get to see Theo’s new masterpiece and WOW! It sounded so wonderful. I loved how it connected to everyone too. To Leo it was Jack since it was the ride he operated on. To Jackie and Eric it was also their ride. And to the others it represented that night at the carnival, a night that definitely changed their lives and for the better. I think Theo did an amazing job on it! Donna’s confusion about things was funny and I really loved Hyde’ lien about Donna being busy studying while they were at the world’s wildest party lol Poor, Donna.

What an adorable little scene the next one was! Jackie watching the artwork and thinking about the night at the carnival and the moment she and Eric shared on that very ride. Great thinking of doing that flashback too, such a sweet scene. Loved the image of Eric resting his head on her shoulder, both of them watching the artwork and remembering. Of course they couldn’t stay too long with dinner being ready and them having to make sure Hyde is able to control himself that ro doesn’t make a fool out of himself lol

Again your descriptions of the scene’s backgrounds are beautiful and really help things pop to life. I had to smile at the image of the group sitting together to enjoy a nice meal. And another guest soon joined them! Tatiana! Yay! It was great to see her and I loved how she was the one who cleared up what KLC meant! King Leo Chingwake! Of course! Bravo there! The reactions of the gang when they saw her, realizing that she was real and all that they’d experience and talked about the past few days was real, it was all so great! And I couldn’t help but laugh at the image of everyone being so shocked while Donna’s just getting more confused lol

I loved that Jackie is the first one to speak and says Tatiana’s name I thought it was very fitting. I also really loved the words she said to Jackie and Eric. She was happy that Jackie was happy and strong now and that she’s proud of Eric. It was also nice hearing that Kitty was better and now they could live their own lives without feeling any guilt. And Marco! He was with Tatiana and Leo! Aw I’m so happy! And out of all the entrances that the characters made—I loved them all—but Marco’s ‘DUMBASS’ has to be my favorite. I also thought it was cute how Hyde was happy to see the bird and even admitted to missing it. It was also really nice to hear that Marco manage to come back on his own, he wasn’t stolen or taken from the Forman house. That was really great. And the interaction between Hyde and Leo when Marco said ‘ssstoner’ was terrific.

It was great to see that they all had a wonderful evening talking about those previous events, Donna even got filled in on a few things. Also loved the little detail of Tatiana calling everyone by their Arcane names. And Leo and Tatiana and now at last married! That was really sweet to hear, I’m so happy for the two and Theo seems to have found a new career. I’m glad the carnival with Serena, Eli, and Jack is still up and moving they seemed to really enjoy it and maybe they’ll be back in Point Place again. Tatiana wanting to talk to everyone on their own caught my interest and she decided to talk with Kelso first. The way he asked if he could hold Marco LOL Her words to Kelso were nice and quite surprising too! Twin Kelsos! Good Luck Brooke! Lol Bi really it is such exciting news!

I really loved each of the talks that Tatiana had with everyone. They were similar in that you could feel her care for each of the characters in these talks but they’re also so different and unique leik the characters. It was fun seeing how Tatiana was helping them all out and giving them some really great gifts to start off their new beginnings that sound very exciting! I also really loved how each scene ended with a similar ‘How awesome/cool/etc was that? Because it really was just that!

Finding out that Tatiana was friends with Gloria Steinham—yup I could see it!—was really cool and I thought it was really nice that she gave Donna her contact information help her get in touch with her. Her excitement was great. I loved the scene with Hyde and Tatiana and how he’s still a bit cautious about how to act around her lol but this time she means him no harm and instead gives him some tickets for a trip that he’s not only sure to enjoy but one that could help with his new business too! Aw Fez and Tatiana’s scene was really sweet, the way he compliments her on her style and sharing with her his news about his new girlfriend. Think he’s been bitten by the lovebug too! And Fez gets a American Candy Tour? That sounds like so much fun! A perfect trip for Fez!

Jackie’s scene with Tatiana was another one that was really sweet but while Tatiana and Fez’s scene had been more innocent and tahat’s what made it sweet with Jackie and Tatiana it seemed like there was more there like a connection, a bond, or just a really nice friendship. I really liked how Jackie tells Tatiana how much it meant to her when she comforted her and then Tatiana explains she saw herself in Jackie too :D I loved when Jackie tells her the news of finding her lobster and you can tell Tatiana is very happy about this piece of news. And Jackie’s happy too, so happy she can’t explain it—aw! The gift she had fro Jackie sounded beautiful! And the explanation that came along with it was just lovely. It’s like she’ll always have a piece of Tatiana with her. So glad that only good things could be seen in Jackie’s future—even a few kids! And now Jackie’s worries and insecurities are gone and she’s ready to face this bright looking future :D

And finally there’s Eric’s scene with Tatiana—the best for last right? This really was one of the greatest of the six but of course I loved them all. What I really loved about Tatiana’s scene with Eric was how proud she was of him and how she told him this too. LOVED this part here “My Temperance. You have been my greatest source of pride. You leave your homeland a confused and frustrated young man….you return from far away to find that nothing stayed as you remembered…but look at you now. You are confident and strong and patient….qualities that I knew were hidden inside of you but waiting to be released." And the way she explained why she had to show him those fears and regrets again was to help him with his new beginning was wonderfully done. I’m glad she also assured him he would not be cleaning any monkey cage and was sure that he would be a great father. I loved Eric’s reaction too. Very clever that Tatiana doesn’t say anything about it but instead gives him her gift to him, a beautiful set of wedding rings that belonged to Leo’s mother. That was really so sweet. And I loved how Eric doesn’t object when she gives him the rings and some proposal advice—some great advice too. I loved the part about the well tailored suit :D Lovely exchange when Eric hanks Tatiana but it’s Tatiana who thanks him with even more thank yous. So very sweet!

I loved the last scene with the whole gang getting ready to go home. I think it very much showed that they were off to their new beginnings. Hyde taking off with Amber, Jackie and Eric thinking about their future together. Aw and Leo and Tatiana watching from on the roof. So sweet when Leo wants to make sure that his friends will be happy and Tatiana assure him they will be as happy as he has made her—Aww! Then the chant she spoke was worded in such a marvelous way along with the im

Finally made it back to read the final two chapters of this wonderful story. I am so very sorry for taking so long but this chapter was so magnificently wonderful! Loved it all! The dialogue had me laughing, the details had me intrigued and I think you’ve dropped a few little clues through out the chapter too :D

Terrific first scene with Donna and Hyde. You did a fabulous job at capturing their friendship that was shown in the early seasons. I really liked that Donna made the time to come see Hyde when he called her up and asked her to come. It was also great when they were sort of giving each other compliments on the way the other looked—in their own ways. Was happy to see Hyde had shaved off the infamous stache of his. I liked how Hyde told Donna about Jackie and Eric being an item and how he sort of calms her down from freaking out or getting defensive or anything like that. It also made me smile to hear that Hyde thought it was a good thing and that he could see the two made each other happy. It was also great hearing Hyde tell Donna bits about what they’d all been through and how they had changed but for the better, Donna’s line about how everyone had these life changes while she was gone was great and makes me wonder if she’s experienced anything herself. More greatness when Hyde shows her the new inventory he’s planning on adding into Grooves, it’s really nice to see his friends supporting him on this. I also really liked hearing that Donna was doing so well in school. Great add in :D

Loved the next scene with the quick wrap up of after dinner, Jackie and Eric washing dishes and then sitting outside with cocoa watching the sun go down while exchanging little lovesick smiles. So sweet! :D I loved Eric thinking that he was the luckiest guy. And the exchange of ‘You’re the best’ ‘I know’ LOL very funny and so in character! It was really nice to hear the two talk about their ne jobs with each other and Jackie even confiding in one of her fears about her new job, her voice not being able to make it through. But Eric assured her all was would be fine and he made a great point about how talking is one of the things she does bets lol, nice save too with him saying he loved her voice. And what a great entrance way fro Donna to come into the scene, I loved both Jackie and Eric’s reactions and could see them perfectly. I really loved the way Donna wants to make sure that they really do make each other happy and once she finds out the truth—loved Eric’s ‘enormously happy’ she’s just fine with the idea and I bet even happy for the two finally being able to find their happiness even if it wasn’t with the people she always thought it would be. Awesome ending to the scene with Hyde’s line LOL

It was great to see that the gang was all together when Kelso and Fez got there. I loved how each of the two had something to talk and brag about. Kelso and his unborn son and Fez and his ‘shaggy faced girlfriend’ lol It was also really sweet the way Eric and Jackie only had eyes fro each other and Jackie only snapped out of things when she heard about Kenosha and the mall from Donna lol I enjoyed the end of the scene where Hyde goes over the plans of the details for the next day and when he asks for question the only one he gets is Jackie asking if he shaved Hahaha!

Aw and I loved how nervous/excited Hyde seems to be about meeting Amber. It’ fun watching the others get to tease him a bit. I really liked the part with them arriving to factory together, great line about the cars coming in to park and then Kelso complaining that Eric wasn’t fun anymore and Hyde just trying to keep his cool long enough to meet ‘Amber what-was-her last-name-please-don't-be-a-Chunky-Bar-but-I- think-I'll-like-you-anyways’ lol

The descriptions of the lobby of the factory were brilliant! This goes for the new characters as well. I really loved all the wonderful details that you took the time to put in so we could see the scenery of it all. And oh gosh Fez and Kelso with those chairs, leave it to those two to be making comments like that lol I especially loved the parts about the window mirror with the glass that made up the gypsy wagon—something tells me Tatiana is near! It was nice to see that Hyde’s worries seemed to be for nothing when he met Amber she sounds like a very pretty girl and definitely one that has caught Hyde’s eye. It’s really funny and cute the way Hyde has gotten a bit tongue tied by this Amber. Oh and it looks like the owner knows Hyde, interesting..could the owner be Tatiana or maybe Leo? Or Theo? Have to keep reading!

Wonderful bits with the tour. I really enjoyed reading that and learned some new stuff too- always love when fics teach us new things and I’m pretty sure each one of yours has done just that! Very well written info coming from both Dustin and Amber and of course the details about the gang were funny and great adds into the mix. Hyde being smitten with Amber, Kelso making Kelso like jokes, Fez still thinking of candy and Jackie and Eric still holding hands and having their eyes and minds on each other. Very sweet :D And it was nice to see Hyde share with Amber the item that got him interested in the whole idea and it was interesting and very cool to hear that it was an original from the artist maybe it’s the artist that is either Tatiana or Leo. I thought the end of the scene was so great with Hyde getting the courage to ask for Amber’s number—I hope he succeeds!

Another great scene at the end with the tour over and everyone being left in the room—Fez having to be told not to touch anything lol And Kelso being disappointed about not getting the hands on experience, sounds just like the two. And the gang was invited to dinner with the owner and his wife! Okay now I’m really think that the owner is Leo and his wife is Tatiana! :D KLC company? Could that be King Leo…Chong? Hmm maybe something else. I can’t wait for this dinner! It’s sad that the next chapter is the last one but at the same time I’m excited to see how all things get tied up. :D

Amazing work once more! I so enjoyed this chapter! So sorry it took so long to get to it! I’ll be back to read the next chapter very soon! Till then keep up the marvelous very work!

One of the best Jackie and Eric stories on here. Also one of the best That 70s show stories on here. Good job!

Loved Leo and his family here. Definitely something that the show should have done near the end as well.

Wonderful story. Your best yet.

How freaking cool was that? Very. Such a clever premise, Marla, and you executed it well. Leo as a Gypsy king? Married to a spell-weaving fortune teller (who drove me crazy *lol*)? Greatly entertaining and unique. I looked forward to each chapter (as I always do with your work).

This chapter reminded me a bit of the show *Undercover Boss,* where the employees - depending on their work ethic, attitude, and backstory - get major hefty gifts from their boss. I'm glad each character (including Marco) gets to have a happy life. Kelso is such a doofus, though. Just gotta say. :D

Some really nice description in this chapter. I would've totally been mesmerized by the sparkly things Tatiana gave Jackie and Eric. *lol*

I hope your T7S muse continues to be inspired. You write some of the most original T7S stories out there.

Comments (and laughter) on specific lines below.

(Kelso scoffed, "Nah….it stands for Kansas Land o'Chicks….have you seen the babes in here?") - LOL

("God Kelso. Maybe it means Kelso Lacks Commitment. I mean really, are you ever going to ask Brooke to marry you or are you just going to keep breeding more Kelso's?") - I could hear Donna saying this.

(There was a huge laugh and the robe opened to a pot belly covered with overalls. "Two inches to the left! I decorated your parent's basement.") - Theo! That's right! He was an artist.

(Steven Hyde smiled wider than he could remember at the sight of his old Foto-hut mentor. "Leo, man….we thought we lost you!") - Woot! And Leo comes back into the picture ([EMPEROR PALPATINE] as I foresaw [/EMPEROR PALPATINE]).

("You know, it's a funny thing man…being back with my son and my family….I think I needed to get my parties in order. I mean privates…no, that's not it."

Donna offered some help, "Priorities?") - LOL

("Hey! It's Donna man. Did you guys know Donna was here?) - *snort* *lol*

(Jackie gasped when she saw a tiny purple balloon attached to one of the gondolas. Eric squeezed her hand as he recognized it as "their" car. It was a beautiful piece of work and the intricate details were obvious in the etching of the colored panes of glass.) - Neat! And nice description, too.

(Colorful rugs adorned the brick walls and glass wind chimes tinkled at the open windows where the breezes off of Lake Michigan stirred the gauzy curtains.) - More nice description.

(A soft voice entered from the kitchen. "K L C is King Leo Chingwake…who did you think it was?") "King". Of course. I had the "L" and "C" figured out. I should've remembered his family considers him a king.

(Jackie dared to speak first. "Tatiana?") - Bleh. I was hoping she wouldn't show up. *rofl* But I knew she would.

("Miss Kitty has fully recuperated and only goodness will follow the Forman family. She will suffer no more. You are free to live your lives.") - Well, that's good!

(There was a loud flutter and a shriek, "DUMBASS!" as a brightly colored Amazon parrot came to rest on the gypsy's shoulder. She smiled, "I believe your father taught my bird a new word."

"Marco!" Hyde laughed, "Man we missed that bird.") - YAY! *sobs* Okay, Tatianna's presence is tolerable since she has Marco and Marco's all right. I have a soft spot for that boid.

(Marco looked at Hyde again and hissed, "….sssstoner.") - Ohhh! That was Marco saying that before.

(You are blessed with twins.) - Twin-boy Kelsos. God help the world. *lol* In Those '70s Comics, I actually made Kelso's youngest brothers twins. They're hellraisers, and I'm sure Kelso's boys will be the same.

(A business card was pushed across the table.

Donna read it. Then she reread it. "Are you freaking kidding me? You are friends with Gloria Steinham?) - Cool!

(Hyde had a free pass to weed country – how fucking awesome was that!) - Oh, gosh. *lol* I hope he got a round ticket.

(Tatiana smiled. "First I would ask that you stop wearing skirts – they don't flatter you... understand?") - LMAO

(An American Candy Tour – how exciting was that!) - How sweet for Fez? Pun intended. :D

(You have a secret affinity with animals that will make you a wonderful father.") - So Eric and Jackie are gonna have furry children? Oh, they could be reptillian. *lol* Jackie better not want to make a pair of alligator shoes out of her kid. *glares at her* (Please pardon my silliness. :D)

("Grandma Kitty? Can you tell us about the year that Uncle Hyde and Aunt Amber went to Amsterdam?"

"No! Tell us about Uncle Leo's carnival! Was there really a bearded lady?"

Kitty Forman smiled and replied, "Let's begin back when your father came home from Africa and I tripped over your mother in the bathroom….") - Aww, I like that mini-epilogue. A lovely end to an enjoyable story!

please don't stop writing J/E stories

The last person I expected to see was Theo, a good whacky addition to this wonderfully wacky story.

Hyde's going to eat Theo's assistant?

A well tailored suit to a woman is like lingerie to a man...I guess I can see that.. Good analogy.

It is fantastic how you drew all the different ends of the story together and tied them up so well and gave every one a happy ending and an ending they liked.

Your imagination was off the charts for this story. I enjoyed every chapter

Beautiful wild whacky story
