Sorry it took so long for my to update. I'll try to be better. Let me know what you think!!
Brenda just stood there with a blank look on her face. "Why are you telling me this Don?" Brenda asked.
"Because I don't think Kelly should find out from some slip of your tongue. She should find out from Dylan." Donna replied.
Brenda shifted her weight " I wouldn't say anything like that just to hurt her, you should know that." Brenda sounded a little hurt that Donna would expect that of her.
"I do know that. I mean I knew that if you knew you wouldn't say anything; that's why I told you."
"Do you know why he lied to her?" Brenda said looking like her puppy had just died.
"No. Probably because he didn't want to admit to her that the reason he came back was because you kicked him out." Donna didn't want to say what she actually thought which was that Dylan didn't want Kelly to know that she was yet again second choice; that would put her in an awkward place and her and Brenda had agreed not to talk about anything that would put her between Brenda and Kelly.
"Well, I'm back for work… and I just wanted to be with all my friends again."
"Well, I am definitely glad you're back. I've missed you so much! Do you know where you'll be staying yet?" Donna asked already having some idea of where she could stay.
"For now the hotel, at least until I find an apartment or something." Brenda answered.
"There's two empty rooms at the beach apartment with Kelly you could live there."
"I'm not so sure that's a good idea after the looks she was giving me earlier I don't think she really wants me around." Brenda wanted to resolve her friendship with Kelly but she was really here for Dylan so she didn't think those were good premises to start on.
"You guys haven't talked in a while but you're still friends aren't you?" Donna said pushing a little more.
"Well, yeah but I just don't think she's very happy to see me."
"I'll talk to her."

Dylan snuck away from Kelly and headed towards Brenda, "C'mon we need to talk now," he grabbed her by the arm and led her out into the lobby.
"What are you doing here? Did you come back for me?" Dylan asked with a mixture of contempt and disbelief.
"Yes and no. Actually there isn't a no, but there are a few yeses." she said with a sweet smile.
"Bren, why are you here, lets just get this over with." Dylan wasn't sure he was ready for this, but better now than later.
"Well, for one thing I realized I had made a terrible mistake, and well I told you when I left that I wouldn't be gone forever so now I'm back…for good. I love you, Dylan and I'm so sorry that I accused you of having an affair with Stacey, she just reminded me so much of Kelly--which is why I became friends with her in the first place, but then I just kept having flashbacks of senior year. You know how hard that was on me, I didn't want to do it again."
"I'm can't do this Brenda, I'm ready for this yet. I'm with Kelly now." Dylan turned around walked back into the party.

In the mean time, while Brenda and Dylan had snuck off to talk, Brandon and Kelly were having a talk of their own.
Brandon walked up to Kelly and handed her a glass of Champaign, she took it with a smile. "So how long have you and Dylan been together?" he asked trying to hide the twinge of jealousy in his voice; he wasn't doing a good job of it.
Kelly smiled she recognized Brandon's jealousy immediately, "Actually its very new. Just a week or a little less."
"I thought he'd been back for over a year." Brandon said.
"He has but I was with someone else until recently, Matt, we were engaged." Kelly replied dreading what he would say next.
"And he broke up with him to be with Dylan?" Brandon asked with a judgmental voice.
"He was cheating on me." Kelly replied with contempt.
"But you didn't know that when you broke with him. I can tell by the way you said it" Brandon always thought he knew everything about her, it drove her crazy, and she stayed silent, "Is that why we didn't get married, because you were waiting for Dylan to come back for you?"
Kelly's eyes softened a little, "No, I didn't marry you because I was scared we were getting married for the wrong reasons and then you decided you didn't want to be together at all"
"If we weren't going to move forward where do you think we were headed?"
"You didn't love me; you said you felt like I was your sister" Kelly sounded hurt. And Brandon just stood there not saying anything. "Brandon, you're the one who didn't want to be together, you're the one left, you're the one who didn't want to go on the honeymoon." Kelly was started to sound very emotional and she hoped no one was in hearing distance.
"You can't go on the honeymoon when you don't get married." Brandon responded.
"Not as a honeymoon. Just as a vacation we hadn't been on one since Hawaii."
" Well, I hope you're very happy with Dylan for as long as it ends up lasting this time", Brandon trudged off towards the open bar.

David saw Dylan storm back into the room and turned to Donna, "This isn't good its just a matter of time before the triangle starts fighting. Can't you do anything."
Donna smiled at David, "people are leaving in a few minutes it will just be us, the gang, everything wil be great."
This is going to be a Brenda/Dylan fic, even though I spent more time on Brandon and Kelly this chapter. I just wanted to show that no one really thinks Dylan and Kelly are soulmates.
