Timing is Everything

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters of Beverly Hills 90210.

Intro: Some say there is no time like the present; others say there is no time like the future but there is one man Dylan McKay who says there is no time like the past. There were two women in Dylan's life that he truly loved Antonia Marchette and Kelly Taylor. He has had a past with both of them and a present with one of them and a hope of the future with her. But with the loom of unseen danger with the present could it be that his past is his future.

Chapter 1

Dylan sat on the sand looking out at the ocean remembering the words Kelly said to him. They shattered his heart and soul. He remembers that day like it was yesterday.

"I choose me."

Dylan knew that both he and Brandon were competing against one another for her heart. Somewhere deep inside he knew that Kelly loved both of them in different ways. But Kelly made it clear to both of them she was moving on with her life so they had too.

He had been thinking about Kelly a lot lately. He had not seen or heard from her since she left. He could not understand why he was thinking about her so much but he was.

Maybe Dylan was thinking of Kelly because he and Antonia where getting married. Maybe it was because he really did not know where Kelly was and just needed to talk to her. Or maybe he needed to be sure it was really over with Kelly. He did not know.

The modeling took up all of Kelly's time so she really had no time to think about anything especially Dylan or Brandon. The one thing she knew though she had moved on right where she wanted to be. She was not ready to settle down right now and she knew it. Her time had come and she was going for it for all it was worth.

She is in England modeling she also has been keeping in touch with Brenda Walsh, Brandon's twin sister. They have been best friends since high school. Brenda is an actress she has had several parts in small productions. Brenda was happy to have Kelly there.

Kelly and Brenda were having lunch together at one of there favorite places it reminded them of the Peach Pit. They try to meet once or twice every few weeks. They talk to each other several times a week. Brenda got there first a few minutes later Kelly came.

Kelly said. "Hi, Bren how was the show last night?"

"It went great the critics say that it is one of the best they have seen this year." Brenda told her.

"I have got some news for you, guess what?" asked Brenda.

"What, you look like the cat that swallowed the canary." said Kelly.

"Brandon and Emily are getting married this summer." "Can you believe my brother a married man?" Brenda said laughing.

"Wow, I knew they had gotten back together but I did not realize it had become that serious." Kelly said.

"Yeah, my mom is beside herself trying to get the wedding planed according to Brandon she is going nuts with it." Brenda told her.

"I am happy for Brandon he deserves to be with someone that could love him truly and freely." "Brandon and I were in love but we just could not give each other our true selves." Kelly said.

"Yes, he does." "He also told me something else that Dylan and Antonia are getting married." Brenda told her.

Kelly got this sad far away look in her eyes. She felt like something had just pierced her heart and soul. Brenda saw the look on her face she knew it would not be easy for Kelly to hear this but she did have the right to know.

"Kel, you ok?" questioned Brenda.

"Yes, Dylan deserves to be happy too." Kelly said with a sadden voice.

"Kelly, I know it hurts but you know what you did was best for you." "Dylan and my brother forced you to make a decision they never should of." said Brenda.

"I know." "Dylan and I might have been happy for awhile; but the way we fought and hurt each other it truly would not have worked for us." Kelly told Brenda.

"But it is still a shock to hear though." Brenda said.

"Part of me will always love Dylan, he and I will always be connected in someway; and I know that but you are right it is a shock." said Kelly.

"Yeah, I was furious with you for taking him away from me but then over time I realized that you and Dylan were meant to be together." Brenda told Kelly.

"Oh I remember you hated me and Dylan for a long time but then Donna reamed us out and we realized that a guy should never come between a friendship." said Kelly.

"Donna was right she usually is." Brenda said laughing.

Kelly laughed at that too. They order lunch and sat there and talked about what else is going on in their lives right now. They did not mention Brandon or Dylan again.

Kelly told her that she would be going to Italy next month for two weeks to do a photo shoot.

"I was in Italy once and it really is a beautiful country." Brenda said.

Kelly and Brenda finished eating then went back to work.

Brenda tried to run her lines but all she could remember was the look on Kelly's face when she told her about Dylan. Brenda has always known that Kelly and Dylan were destined to be together for life.

"Then she thought to herself that it really was not fair that Kelly knows all about Dylan and Antonia and he does not even know where Kelly is."

Kelly had made Brenda swear to never tell anyone where she was especially Dylan and Brandon. Brenda did not like it but she promised. Kelly's mother Jackie is the only other person that knows where she really is.

Kelly could not think her concentration was gone after what she leaned at lunch. Kelly thought to herself.

"Both of them getting married she could not believe it." "The two loves of her love settling down." "And she is alone."
