Ok, here's a new story for you guys…. 6 years after college graduation and Brenda decided to leave London and be with her friends in BH… doesn't necessarily follow the show's plot. And I DO NOT own any of the characters here…:D
Chapter 1:
"Brenda, it would be ok… I promise you. And besides, you haven't been here for Christmas since you left for London" Brandon told her twin sister over the phone.
The gang plans a mini get together for Christmas. They haven't been that close since they've been busy with their own careers and family.
Steve and Janet run a small publishing company. They have Lainey who just turned 3.
David and Donna was the busiest couple, Donna managed to be known in fashion industry as one of the most promising designer in Beverly Hills, and she has her own boutique called DM's collections. While David on the other hand is doing great in music industry, he's been producing and writing songs. They have a daughter named Jodie, 5 years old.
Andrea, a successful doctor in Beverly Med, she was separated with Jessie but maintained a very civil relationship with him for Hannah's sake.
Valerie and Brandon are living together in Casa Walsh she didn't leave Brandon since Kelly broke his heart, when she decided not to attend their own wedding. Brandon is doing great with the help of his dependable friends and family. He's currently doing a morning news show, and he's starting to be recognized in news and current affairs.
Kelly on the other hand, turns out to be a psychologist. She is currently employed by West Bev as guidance counselor, she's happy with her sister Silver.
Dylan, with Brandon and Valerie owns, Peach Pit and The after Dark, with Jim's help he used his money to invest in some of the good yielding business in Beverly Hills. Jim as his account manager slash a father to him, managed to get his life together, finished college and now he's a much better person than 5 years ago. He's into writing, mostly poems and novels.
Cindy and Jim, though in constant communication with their children, they live miles away from the busy city of Beverly Hills. Jim decided to go back and retire at Minneapolis. The twins along with the gang usually spend time in Minneapolis once in a while.
"Yeah I know that Brandon, but it's not like I haven't seen you guys since then…"
"Where? In Minneapolis? Or when we watch you in New York or the time when we visited you?" Brenda was cut off by his twin brother, she could only imagine her brother being annoyed.
"Ok fine Brandon, don't get me wrong I miss Beverly Hills, it's just that… well..." Brenda was lost for words, she asked herself why am I having second thoughts about it? "Ok I'll book my flight right now brother dear…now wipe that frown…"
Brenda smiled to herself, she missed Beverly Hills, she missed her friends and most especially she missed Dylan.
"Now that's a good girl…" Brandon teases "kidding aside sis... I'm excited to spend holidays with you, here in Beverly Hills…"
Before Brenda can argue, her heart melts when she heard Brandon's last phrase. "Me too Brandon... me too"
After the conversation she had with her brother, Brenda went straight online to book her flight and emailed the details back to Brandon. It was set she's coming home.
Brenda, is a very successful theater actress. She has done countless plays in London, New York, L.A., she even did a tour in Asia. Aside from the acting career she also does charity works. Usually she gets 1 night in all of her play wherein proceeds will go to her chosen charity, she's helping people from the Golden Acre.
She didn't lose communication with her family and friends. The gang and her family make it a point to watch her plays but like Brandon said, they haven't spent some quality time since she left BH.
Dylan and her has this weird relationship, weird in a sense that they both agreed to see somebody else, Brenda not wanting to go through all the pain Dylan caused her never really admit to Dylan that she's still madly in love with him. Dylan on the other hand didn't want to pressure Brenda into something that she's not totally into it. Dylan is a constant house guest in Brenda's pad in London, and has been with her in all of her plays and charity works. Dylan never got into any relationship, he only wants Brenda. As per Brenda, she had several flings/flirts but never got into a 'real' relationship too.
Brenda thanked the technology now a day, between the internet and her mobile phone she didn't have any problem connecting with anyone from back home.
December 23
Brenda's plane just landed and she's still nervous for some reason. She tried to push all her thoughts in coming in BH again, she kept on reminding herself that she'll be coming home with her friends and with Dylan.
Valerie eagerly waits for Brenda, in spite of reactions from Donna, Dylan and especially Brandon, she still insisted that she go alone, it's not that she didn't want anybody else with her, but she wanted to have alone time with Brenda before they all get caught up with holidays and reunions. She and Brenda may not be blood related but consider each other as sister.
"Brenda!" she yelled as she saw her other half walking towards the waiting area.
A huge smile plastered on Brenda's face as she heard Valerie's yelling, she almost run towards her and gave her a big bear hug "Oh my God! Val! I missed you Sis!"
"Err..." Val said breaking up the hug "we just saw each other last month Bren!"
Laughing, Brenda said "yeah I know… still" and gave her friend another hug
"Well, I miss you too"
Brenda looks around, and Val let out a small smirk "he's not with me Brenda… I insisted to go alone… don't worry you'll have enough of him…" she teased
Brenda shook her head and rolled her eyes, Valerie knew her well.
"C'mon Dylan's waiting for you…" Val teased further
The two brunettes head to Val's car. Drive to casa Walsh has never been that fun, singing and laughing and chatting like high school girls, Valerie updated Brenda with what's new with BH. Before they knew it, Valerie's already parking in front of casa Walsh.
"I can't believe I'm already here…" Brenda said staring at her home
Valerie went to put her arms around Brenda's shoulder "believe it sis… you're home now…"
"I know, it's just that I have a lot of memory in this house" Brenda said emphasizing the word lot on her statement
"Yeah… don't I know them all?" Valerie asked looking at Brenda who gave her a fine-smartass! Look.
And they both burst into laughter. They didn't even notice the gang opening the front door and that they were all staring at them.
"ehem!" Brandon faked cough to get their attention
"Brandon!" Brenda squealed as she saw her twin brother with her friends.
"Care to share with us what you're laughing at?" Brandon asked as they all went to Brenda
"Oh it's nothing… come here give me a hug brother… I missed you" she hugged Brandon
"You don't know how peaceful my life became when you left…" Brandon said through his laughter,
Brenda hits him hard in his chest "ooouch!"
"Serves you right"
"Twins back on your corner please…" Steve said getting in between them "and Brandon we all need to say hi to Brenda if you don't mind" Steve said looking at Brandon giving him his infamous eyebrow lift.
"All yours…" Brandon said stepping aside
"Brenda!" Steve went to hug and lift Brenda "I missed you… it's so good to have you back…" Steve put Brenda down "look at you girl... you look gorgeous Bren!"
"Why thank you Steve… and I missed you too…"
"Brenda…." Donna called out trying to push Steve aside
"Donna!" the 2 girls hug like they haven't talked nor see each other for the longest time
"Did you girls just talk last night before you leave London?"David asked Brenda
"Well, I missed her..." Donna replied sweetly looking from her husband to Brenda
As they all hug and say their hellos Brenda kept looking around for Dylan, she was surprised that he haven't welcome her yet. "C'mon Brenda…. Let's move this inside and I'm sure you're starving by now…" David ushered everyone inside
"Wait my luggage" Brenda stopped and was about to head back to Val's car
"They're all upstairs in your room babe" said a husky voice that Brenda knew well
The gang smiled at Brenda's blushing, she slowly turn around to see her high school sweetheart standing there with at least 2 dozens of blue roses in his hand. Brenda locked eyes with him, in a relationship or not, Dylan definitely knew how to make her feel special.
"Brenda you mouth… keep them close" Val went to whisper in Brenda's ears but unfortunately the gang heard her, as they all head inside to give them private time
Dylan walk over and gave Brenda her flowers "welcome home Brenda" he said looking straight into her eyes and giving her a peck just at the corner of her lips.
Brenda knew Dylan's teasing her, and when she saw Dylan's smirk, she gave him her infamous look. "Not funny Mckay" Brenda said rolling her eyes
"Sorry… seriously Bren" her family and friends call her Bren most of the times but it's very different when it's coming from Dylan "I missed you and I'm glad that you're back"
"Me too… it's good to be home…" as they stare at each other's eyes for what seems like hours
"Anytime now love birds!" David called out
With that Dylan and Brenda went inside to find all of their friends in the kitchen.
Brenda went to mingle with everyone, she even played with the kids, catch up with Kelly and Andrea and listen to Steve's joke. Every now and then, she would glance to Dylan who's just staring at her the whole time and just smiling back at her.
They all moved in the living room after their meal, Brenda seat in between Dylan and Valerie while Brandon went to seat beside Valerie.
"So Brenda… how's life in London?" Andrea asked
"Well, it very nice there, I mean I get to do acting" Brenda said, being humble
"That's very humble Brenda" Valerie said rolling her eyes, between her and Brenda, Brenda is an angel. "You're like London's number one theater actress Bren!"
The gang laugh at Val's antics "I know… and it made my life in London easy…" Brenda replied "but this…" Brenda looked around "is definitely better than London!" and she gave them a heartfelt smile.
"We missed you here Bren! There are times when I need you and your 2 scoops of ice cream and I just can't reach you" Kelly said almost in tears. Her friendship with Brenda never went back to what they used to have before the triangle. Brenda didn't cut her off her life but Kelly felt the difference.
Brenda was about to say something when Donna speak "I know, like me and Brenda used to talk every single day, send pictures of each other, I went to her plays and visited her several times but it's not the same…"
Brenda looked at her two high school best friends, she missed them she missed their late night talks, they beach and peach pit hang out, study group , boy bashing and all the stuff they used to do together.
"I'm sorry I had to stay away from home for years… but please don't take it personally guys…." Brenda explained "it has nothing to do with anyone of you…" she turned to face Kelly "especially you…" Kelly gave her a nod "I did what I want to do that time, and it's not easy…. But I'm glad I did it anyway…but" Brenda stopped and pictures the gang's reaction in her next revelation
Val and Brandon look at each other "But?" Brandon asked
"But… I think I'm done with London" Brenda said smiling at everyone
"You're staying for good?" Andrea asked excitedly
"Well that depends on my brother here… do I still have place in here?" Brenda asked Brandon
"Do you even have to ask?" Brandon replied
"Well…" she looked at Dylan's who again just staring at her "what do you think babe?" she mocked Dylan's tone earlier
"I can't say it here in front of our friends and your brother" Dylan replied smirking
"Ewww!" Val reacted
Brenda playfully punch Dylan on his arm
The gang burst into laughter "and yes guys… I'm here for good!" Brenda said through her laughter
"Yay!" Kelly and Donna went up to hug Brenda
"And now, this is what I call family… c'mon guys" Steve motioned for them to join the three way hug of Kelly, Donna and Brenda.
The gang continues chatting and planning their big Christmas get together.
