Brenda Walsh awoke to the bright sunlight streaming in through her bedroom window. Another sunny day in beautiful Beverly Hills, California. She slowly got out of bed and made her way to the bathroom.
There she found her brother, Brandon. He was brushing his teeth, and he flashed her a foamy grin. She shook her head and stood next to him, preparing her own toothbrush. Then she looked at him with eyebrows raised.
"So, uh, what's the deal with you and Andrea?" In the past few weeks, Brandon and one of his best girl friends Andrea Zuckerman had grown closer. In a way that Brenda had thought could possibly be romantic.
Brandon wiped his mouth. "Nothing is goin' on. We're friends, like always." Brenda looked at him incredulously. "Really? Because last time I checked friends didn't look at each other the way you two do."
He folded his arms across his chest. "Really? Because, could've fooled me…you and Dylan claim to be friends, don't you? And I'm pretty sure I see you guys looking at each other like that all the time."
Brenda sighed, nothing saying anything, as she brushed her teeth. "What is the deal with you guys? And Kelly?" Lately, it had turned into a triangle. Brenda, Dylan, and Kelly. And now Dylan had to choose.
Brenda put her toothbrush away. "Kelly and I told him he has to choose between us and he said that was only fair. So he's going to. Hopefully, very soon." She walked back into her bedroom, Brandon following close behind.
"Ya' nervous?" She looked at him and said, "Terrified." She sighed. "I love him Brandon. And I don't wanna lose him." Brandon nodded, putting his arm around her shoulder. "I know. It'll be okay."
Dylan McKay sat staring at the two frosted cookies on the plate. The cookies that Brenda and Kelly had made for him, each with their initial on it. Before telling him that he had to choose between them.
He knew he had to, it was inevitable. He thought after cheating on her with Kelly, Brenda would never want him back. He was wrong. She most definitely wanted him back, and she had made that known.
But Kelly wanted to be with him too. She claimed their affair was more than just some passing attraction. Dylan didn't know what to think. And now, he was totally and utterly confused about it all.
"Kell, ya' here?" Kelly Taylor put her sunglasses down and looked at the doorway. Donna Martin was standing in the doorway, waving. Kelly waved her over, from where she was sitting in her lounge chair.
"What's up?", Donna asked, sitting down next to her. Kelly shook her head. "Nothing, just soakin' up some rays, that's all." Donna nodded and swung her feet up on the chair, adjusting the sunglasses on her face.
"So, are you okay? Is everything alright?" Kelly sighed. "Yes, I'm fine. I was just thinking, that's all." Donna nodded knowingly. But she didn't want to say anything. The last thing she wanted was to get in the middle of her two best friends and their personal problem with Dylan.
LATER - THE PEACH PIT:
Brenda sat at the counter, waiting for Brandon to get her the drink she had ordered. She noticed Donna come in just then, with her boyfriend David Silver. They smiled at her and came to sit beside her.
"What's goin' on?", Donna asked. Brenda shook her head and said, "Nothing." Brandon gave her the drink, said hi to Donna and David, and then walked away to wait on some other people at the other end of the counter.
"What's on the agenda for today?", Donna asked. Brenda shrugged. "Not a lot. Pretty dull. What are you guys doing?" David and Donna looked at each other. "Nothing.", David said. "We're just relaxin'."
Brenda smiled. "That's cool." They looked up just in time to see Steve Sanders coming in, a smile on his face. He sat down next to Brenda, putting his arm around her shoulder and winking. "What do ya' say doll face? Date tonight?"
Brenda laughed. "Sure Steve." He grinned more. "Good, can't wait." Donna and David excused themselves and went to sit at a private table. Brenda smiled after them and then turned back to Steve.
"So, Steve, I've been meanin' to ask you. What do you think is goin' on between my brother and Andrea?" Steve leaned in closer to her. "I think that even though your brother is with Nikki, there are some definite sparks between himself and the Chief."
Brenda smiled. "I completely agree. He should just break it off with Nikki and give it a chance with Andrea…" Steve began to nod, but stopped when Brandon came over to them. "What's up?" Brenda shook her head.
"Nothin', I was just headin' out, actually. I'll talk to you guys later." Steve and Brandon both nodded and watched her walk away. Then Brandon looked at Steve, eyebrows raised, knowing they had been talking about him.
"What were you guys talkin' about?", He asked. Steve shook his head. "Nothin'. Just stopping by to see if you wanted to go out tonight." Brandon nodded. "Sure. Seven?" Steve nodded. "Alright. Later."
