AN: Season One is fair game here. This pairing is so long overdue I am still paying late fees on it. More to come...feedback is always welcomed. And yes...my version of Brenda might be different from canon but...that's where the fun begins.

Chapter 1: Off Limits

Well, their first week at West Beverly Hills High School was now behind them and they survived it. Brenda made a new friend, Kelly Taylor and Brandon also made a new friend, Steve Sanders. It was Friday night and they were headed to their first Beverly Hills party.

The party itself turned out ok but Brenda knew that she wasn't going to be able to handle all the guys admiring Kelly. Jealousy was a tough pill to swallow but she knew that right now she had no other choice. She did notice her brother standing a few feet away with a blond guy that Kelly identified as Steve Sanders, her ex-boyfriend. Brenda could tell from the look on Brandon's face that he was looking at Kelly and liking what he saw. She knew she'd have to nip that in the bud when they got home.

The next morning, shortly before 11 am, Brandon walked into Brenda's room, the lateness of the hour ensuring that his sister would be awake and available to talk.

"Good morning Brenda." Brenda was sitting on her bed, fully dressed having just finished hanging up the phone after talking to Kelly.

"Hey, Bran, what's up?" Brenda asked.

"Not much, just something I wanted to ask you."

"Ok, what is it?"

Brandon hesitated, not really knowing how to say it. "Um, last night at the party, I saw you with Kelly Taylor."

"Yes, I was with her, why?"

"It's just, Kelly's very pretty. I mean..."

"I know what you mean Brandon so what's your point?"

"Right, my point. My point is this, would you have a problem with me asking Kelly out?"

Brenda could only look at her brother in shock for a few moments. She had assumed that since he was friends with Kelly's ex that there was some unspoken guy code about asking out a friend's ex. Then Brenda realized what Brandon was really saying and she became very territorial.

"Brandon, Kelly Taylor is off limits to you."

"What do you mean off limits?"

"I mean she's off limits. You are not allowed to ask her out."

"And why not?" Brandon asked, getting upset. He came here as a courtesy before asking out his sister's friend and now he was getting that sinking feeling he always got when Brenda made a girl he liked off limits. It usually only meant one thing and Brenda's next words confirmed it.

"Because brother dear, I am going to make her mine."

"Oh really?" Brandon knew it was pointless to really challenge Brenda, she always got what she wanted when she went after a girl.

"Yes really, Brandon you should know by now that I don't make a girl off limits to you unless I want her for myself. And you know that I can get her."

"Pretty confident there Bren, what makes you think the lovely Miss Taylor would even be open to a little girl on girl action? I mean, she did date Steve and he wasn't exactly her first boyfriend from what I hear?"

"Brandon, first and foremost you should never make assumptions about anyone. Second, this is California, not Minnesota. People here are much more open to these things and anyway, prior boyfriends never stopped me before. Remember Denise Braun?"

Denise Braun was one of Brenda's conquests. A girl that Brandon had liked and wanted to ask out. All evidence pointed to Denise being straight but once Brenda set her sights on her, Denise's straightness just vanished. Denise lasted almost two weeks before Brenda got bored. Not that Brenda was a slut or anything but she did have a low boredom threshold. Denise went from multiple boyfriends to Brenda to temporary stalker which only ended when a restraining order was placed on her. Then, luckily, came the move to Beverly Hills.

"Yeah, I remember Denise. I also remember the crap she put this family through when you dumped her."

"Relax Brandon, Kelly is different."

"Yeah sure she is, they all are to you." There was a tone in her brother's voice that Brenda knew very well. It was the tone he used right before he challenged her to something.

"You got something you wanna say, Bran?"

"Yeah, I do. I don't think that even you could convince Kelly to cross that line. She's too straight Brenda."

"Oh really? Care to put your muscles where your mouth is brother dear?"

"A bet? What would be the terms?"

"Simple, when I get Kelly to be my girlfriend, you have to be my personal slave for two weeks."

"What if you can't make Kelly your girlfriend? What do I get then?"

"If, and that's a big if, I can't make Kelly mine, then I won't stand in your way if you wanna go after Kelly yourself."

"So let me get this straight, you get Kelly and my indentured servitude, for two weeks, if you succeed, if you fail all I get is a shot at Kelly after she's shot you down? Doesn't sound like a good deal to me. I'll concede the two-week slave term if you agree that when you fail, you give up all rights to make a girl off limits to me for a month. Deal?"

Brenda thought about that one for a few minutes. She knew she'd win this one. Kelly seemed like the ultimate straight femme but Brenda knew that was just a cover. Having Brandon as her personal slave was going to be so sweet. And on the off chance, she didn't get Kelly, a month of not getting in her brother's way of getting a girlfriend didn't seem like such a big sacrifice.

"One condition though, you are not under any circumstances to tell anyone about this bet. No running off to tell Donna, Andrea, Steve or anyone else about the bet hoping that it'll get back to Kelly. No trying to get her angry or hurt about this so I'll fail, got it?"

"Brenda, I am hurt you'd think I would do that. I am not that kind of guy. But if it'll make you feel any better, I promise not to tell anyone about this bet."

"Good, then you have a deal."

"Oh one more thing though, you only have until Valentine's Day to make her your girlfriend. After that, you will have officially lost the bet."

It was still September, that gave her almost five months or so to win Kelly's heart. "Not a problem."

The twins shook hands to seal the deal then Brandon left Brenda's room, smiling. Brenda sat in her room for a bit to think about her plan of action for the next few weeks. She'd have to be subtle but not too subtle. A girl like Kelly Taylor would need a different approach than her usual methods. In the past, when there was a girl she wanted, regardless of sexual orientation, Brenda just made her intentions clear and went after the girl. For some reason, they had all responded favorably, especially the ones who'd had boyfriends before they met her. Boys who didn't know how to treat a girl, how to make her feel special, wanted, desirable. Brenda just made those girls feel like they were the only ones in her world, and for the time they were with her, they were. Brenda didn't cheat she just, moved on when she got bored.

There was something about Kelly though that made Brenda think she'd never get bored with her. Here, finally, just might be the one girl she could spend a lifetime with, or at least an entire school year. Brenda resolved that she would have Kelly, no matter what it took.
