Brenda and Valerie talk non stop since Brenda arrived from school. Val was filling Brenda about everything else that happened to her since they last spoke to each other. The gang eyed them, its pretty obvious that they were close.

"hey finish your food first " Jim said "gossip later……."

Brenda and Val looked at each other and then laughed "ok…fine.." Brenda said

"so Ralph…" Val started, Brenda elbowed her "what? I wasn't gonna torture him… " Val said laughing which makes Brenda, Val and Brandon laughs

"you guys were so close…I bet you had a very memorable childhood…" Donna said sweetly

"yeah we are..and definitely had a VERY memorable childhood…especially those two.." Brandon said pointing at bren and Val

"kids…finish your food first…then you have all the time to talk afterwards…and Val don't pressure Ralph here..be nice all 3 of you…" Cyndi said

"aww Cyndi this is great…I feel like I wouldn't have to eat for like a week..i'm so full.." Steve said

"eat as much as you want Steve… I made them special for all of you.." cyndi replied

"and your lasagna still is the best…" Dylan commented

"agreed!!" David said

"why thank you boys…" Cyndi said

"so did you fixed everything else you needed to do back home Val? How long are you gonna stay here?" Brenda asked

"yeah everything's ok now…I'll be leaving just to attend my graduation and be back here to the day after..i wanna spend summer again with you guys…" Val said

"that's great… I can show you around if you want.." Steve said

Brenda rolls her eyes, but Val smiled "yeah sure thanks…Steve.."

After a while they were all done eating, they moved into the backyard, Brenda and Val were still gossiping…

"hey honey…I need to go now…I have to pick up the girls from their practice at school…" Ralph said

"want me to come with you?" Brenda asked

"no its ok… stay here with Val…I know you two have a lot to talk about..i'll be ok.. and i'll pick you up for school tomorrow?" Ralph said

"ok..i'll walk you out.. and Val you have to meet his sisters they were adorable…" breanda said

"I'm sure I will one of these days…and nice to meet you Ralph…" Val said

"same here Val…see yah around…" Ralph said as they shook hands, Ralph turned to the rest of the gang "hey guys..i have to go now…see you in school.. bye…"

"bye Ralph.." they all said, Brenda and Ralph headed out.

"so I finally have my time with you Val…" Brandon said

"sorry bout that Brandon.." then she look at the guys "guys… Brenda and I were kinda twins too..and I missed her so much and we have lots to talk about…but I'm really glad to meet all of you..she's been telling me about you guys and I'm happy to finally meet the faces behind Brenda's stories…" Val said laughing

"so you're going to CU?" Kel asked

Val eyed her first, she doesn't know the whole story about this Kelly and Dylan thing but of course she's with Brenda, in fact she didn't understand why Brenda is being that nice to both of them, if she was there when it happened, Kelly and Dylan could've seen what bestfriends meant for her and Brenda..

"yeah I think.." Val said awkwardly

"I'm going in CU too Val..." Steve said

Val smiled "that's good to hear.." Val said

"hey..what did I miss?" Brenda said coming back

"oh nothing much…we just talked about you while you're gone.." Brandon said teasing

"with Val here? I don't think so…" Brenda said laughing, she knew Val will be on her side no matter what

"so bren.. tell me more about this Ralph boy…" Val said grinning, she didn't wanna know the details at that moment but she wanna see Dylan and Kelly's reaction

Brenda eyed her carefully then it hits her, she knew what Val's trying to do, she sighs "well… she's my boy…" Brenda said laughing

"I can see that… and he looks like he's gonna do anything for you in a blink of an eye… nice boy…" Val said

"yeah he is… that's why…" Brenda hesitated to say but she continue "I love him…"

"awww that's sweet bren.." Donna jive in

"ok girls…as much as we wanna listen to your stories but I think if we'll let you talk now we'll still be here till tomorrow…" Brandon said

"so what are you suggesting Brandon?" Val asked him

"hmm maybe we should call it a day… we have school tomorrow guys remember…" Brenda said obviously she wanted to talk to Val

"nice try bren…" Steve said

Brenda sighs "well then you don't have much of a choice but to hear us out…"

"as if we have a choice.." Brandon said under his breath

"heard that Walsh.." Val said, Brenda eyed her "I mean the older one…"

"so why don't you tell us more about yourself Val…since you're the latest addition to our little gang here…" Brandon said

"what do you wanna know?" Val said confidently "ask anything"

"anything?" Steve asked, Val nodded "do you wanna go out with me this weekend?"

The gang laughs, "hey I'm serious…" Steve sounded offended

"hmmm lets see… I might have a thing with Brenda here so I'll let you know…" Val said laughing, she's not even serious about it

"any relationship now?" David asked

"none for the moment.." Val laughs "I've had 4 serious relationships, and 10 other…"

"OMG don't tell me your still doing that flavor thing?" Brenda cut her off, Val nodded "your unbelievable.."

"wait what's that flavor thing?" Donna asked

"see when were in later years in grade school these two were like boy magnets…but of course nothing serious…you know puppy love and all that…" Brandon started

"so we invented this "flavor of the month" thingy… not really boyfriends coz hello were like 10-12.." Val said "but I still do that now… but this time the appropriate term to use is flings…not flavor of the month or something…"

The gang eyed Brenda "hey I stop doing that since Val left… asked Brandon..", she look at Brandon who smirks "what I'm a good girl, always have been and always will be.."

"I agree between me and bren… hmmm she's an angel…" Val said laughing " coz I'm kinda tougher than her, she's like "its ok…don't worry about it" and I'm like "no its not ok.." and you have to stay out of my way or.." she was cut by Brenda and Brandon

"suffer under her wrath…" the twins echoes

Val look at them "right.. and same goes when it comes to my friends… I mean don't get me wrong guys… I'm not a trouble maker or gangster or what… but I'm not gonna sit down and forgive easily once you hurt me or any of my friends… I mean I can be the friendliest person in the world but once you touch me or any of my friends I will be the bitchiest person you'll ever meet…"

"hmmm feisty…" Steve said

"yeah and from what I heard, my bestfriend here went through some really rough time with you guys…" she eyed everyone

"Val…" the twins said

"what? I'm not gonna do anything… seeing that you're ok now and that you have Ralph… I'm ok…but get this..one more tear from your green eyes.. they will know the meaning of having REAL friend" she said in a matter-of-factly tone, she look at everyone who all look kinda scared and curious "but as long as were ok, were ok, ok?"

"too much ok Val.." brenda laugh

"hey ace… I kinda need to go now, I've lots to do…sorry Val, maybe we could catch up another day.." Andrea said

"aww really? Hmmm, you know I write for my school paper too… Brandon told me you're the best so maybe we could talk sometime and give me tips…you know…" Val said smiling, this time the gang loosens up since they saw Val smiling

"id love too… maybe weekends you know how busy the seniors are…" Andrea said

"sure.. see yah again Andrea and it was nice meeting you…" Val hugs Andrea

"same here Val.." Andrea answered

"err… I think I'm gonna go too.." Kelly said, she didn't feel ok with Val

"why? We didn't even have a chance to talk…" Val said, she said it so convincingly, but the truth is that she resent Kelly, she didn't know the whole story about the infamous triangle but looking at Kelly she knew they wouldn't get along.

"and besides Kel as far as I know we don't have anything to do for school.." Donna said innocently

"uhmmm…ok…if you say so…" Kelly sounded defeated

"hey Andrea I'll drive you home.." Steve said

"are you sure?" Andrea said

"yeah sure.. I'm your friend right?" Steve said making sure that Val will hear him, Val and Brenda laughs at him, obviously part of him is trying to impress Val.

"hmmm nice friend…" Val said

"ok I'll be back before you know it… anything you want guys?" Steve asked

"I want ice cream, but knowing the twins I know they have ice cream so I guess were ok… thanks for asking though…" Val answered

"ok see yah…"

"bye!!" everyone said

"so… uhmmm" Brenda said trying to break the ice between themselves

"hey it's Christmas season!! And I missed having Christmas with you guys.." Val said looking at the twins

"same here Val…" Brandon said

"hey why don't we have a big Christmas dinner for everyone?" Val asked

"actually they all had their Christmas here last year… and it'll be fun to do it again.." Brandon said

"yeah and it's Donna's birthday too!!" David said

Val eyed Dylan who haven't spoken a word after their meeting "hey are you mute or something?" Val asked jokingly

Dylan let a small laugh "of course not…I'm just enjoying you girls talking so go ahead don't mind me.. and Christmas with the Walsh's would be great!"

"ok, I have to tell Cyndi first… but knowing her? she loves to cook for family gatherings so I know it'll not be a problem…" Val said, the gang nodded in agreement

They all continue talking about the twin's childhood with Val, and the gang told her about the happening in their school and few other things. When Steve came back, they all went to the kitchen and indulge themselves with ice cream. They were still talking until the phone rang, Val went to answer it, since she was the nearest to the phone.

"hello?"

"hi Val..is Brenda there?" Ralph said

"oh yeah hold on.." she recognized the voice and called for Brenda "hey bren…its your lover boy.." Val said teasing Brenda, Brenda stood up and glared at her before taking the phone

"hey sorry about that don't mind Val.. she's crazy.." Brenda said making face to Val..

The gang laughed except Dylan, "you're unbelievable Val… " Brandon said when she joined them again at the table

"what? He is her lover boy.. and I'm glad about it… I know Brenda would never get hurt with that man.."

"and how did you know that?" David asked

"because I know.." Val said in a matter-of-factly, Brenda came back "hey what did lover boy want?"

"Val stop calling him lover boy…" Brenda said laughing at her friend's antic " he just said he'll pick me out tomorrow for school and that he'll take us out tomorrow after school.."

"us?" Val asked

"yeah.. he wanted to show you around…"

"hmmm nice lover…"

"Val!!" Brenda almost shouted "stop or I'll tell him not to take us out…"

"ok fine.. " Val said

"hmmm you think I can tag along?" Steve asked

The gang look at him curiously. "I'm sure its ok Steve…I'll tell Ralph tomorrow.." brend aanswred

"as much as I want to tag along but I have to work tomorrow…" Brandon said

"yeah we'll probably go there too… she can't stay here without being head over heels with mega burger.." Brenda said

"right.." Steve and David said

"uhmmm guys as much as I would like to continue this little chit chat but I'm beat…" Brandon said in an apologetic tone

"yeah same here" Donna said leaning to David

"so I say we call it a night?" Kelly said awkwardly

"yeah I guess so.." David answered

"well guys it was nice meeting you all… and I'm looking forward to get to know you all better…" Val said

"aww same here Val…" Donna said hugging Val "nice to meet you too.."

"same here.." David said

"ditto.." Dylan and Kelly said

"and the pleasure is all mine…" Steve said

"ok I guess I'll see you around guys… thanks for the warm welcome.."

"bye!!" everyone said

Brandon headed upstairs while Val and bren went to do the dishes and to talk more. Brenda told everything to Val, Val couldn't believe how "nice" Brenda was. But Brenda told her to let it go and that she's happy now, and that she and Dylan were still friends somehow. And about Kelly, Brenda told her that somehow she still consider her as her friend and that only time can tell if they were gonna be as close as before.

Its almost 3:00 Am when the two girls finally drifted to sleep. Brenda is so happy to have Val, just like Val to Brenda.


just to explain something, i pattern the school year in Filipino school calendar we start school here in june and ended it on march, april-may were our summer. i dont know about the others, but i know in states, they usually start the school year in september.

this is set in december, 2nd week to be exact.

about val's school, she finished school early than the usual, there are sevearl reasons for that but i wont go into details, just bear in mind that she's graduating with gang on march (not literally of course). i'll make val well off here, meaning she doesnt have to worry about her own money while living with the walsh's.

please review guys..thanks!!
