Strange Allies
First of all I would like to thank you all for your reviews they are really stimulating me to write this story. However I would like to have some advice regarding some elements in this story. I have profusely stated that I know how this story in going to end,( that's why I can update relatively quick) but I really love to have some help with some of the twists I have put in this story, for instance do you guys think that Brenda should find out about what Dylan has done with her birth control pills? And should Kelly find out about the kiss that Emily and Brandon shared? Please give me your opinions.
Kelly Taylor was sitting alone crying in her beach apartment. When her fight with Brandon had started Donna and Andrea had quietly left. Kelly felt horrible al she wanted was a wedding day where she could be the centre of attention and that al of her friends would be around celebrating her happiness. Now it looked like that that never was going to happen. And there was only one person to blame for that and that person was Brenda Walsh.
Kelly was so tired of constantly being pushed out of the spotlight by Brenda that it made her depressed. Even if Brenda wasn't around Kelly knew that she still was in her shadow. It was something about Brenda what captivated people, Brenda was the kind of girl that any man would love to show to there mother. She was beautiful, kind, loyal, and friendly and she wasn't afraid to chase after her dreams. Kelly knew in her hart that she never could compete with Brenda o God she tried but she always ended up losing. Brenda had loving and supporting parents a brother who adored her and a (ex) boyfriend that worshipped her. Kelly could remember back in high school that she did everything to get the attention of Dylan McKay but he had only eyes for Brenda Walsh and it wasn't until things between Brenda and Dylan got really difficult and Brenda went to summer school in Paris that he did he become interested in her and deep in her hart she knew that only was because Brenda was out of town and he needed a diversion and she let him use her just like she had done so in the past with other guys. She knew that Dylan belonged to Brenda and no matter what she would do this wouldn't change. And after a while she could live in peace with that.
But her relationship with Brandon Walsh was different Brandon was just like Brenda kind and loyal but he also respected her and really loved her for the person who she was, and that was something no man in her past had ever done. That was the main reason why was so upset with Brenda she didn't want to compete with Brenda for Brandon's love cause she knew that she couldn't survive it when Brandon would choose Brenda over her. Why couldn't Brenda just get over herself and make it right with Dylan they where mend to be together and then she wouldn't have this problem and then she wouldn't have to think that she was again competing with Brenda.
Kelly decided that desperate situations need desperate measures, she herself would to anything to get Brenda back with Dylan and she needed allies to help her with that. O yes Kelly Taylor had her plan cut out.

Iris McKay was extremely surprised when she got a telephone call from Kelly Taylor. It wasn't a big secret everybody knew that Iris didn't like Kelly Taylor she never had and she probably never will do. But what stunned her most was the plea that Kelly held. The poor girl had purred her hart out to Iris. And Iris actually felt sorry for her.
Kelly had told her that Dylan and Brenda had broken-up and that Dylan was miserable. Dylan had told her that he wanted to do everything that was within his power to get Brenda back, but it looked like so far he wasn't really successful at it. Iris told Kelly that she already knew Erica and later Dylan both had told her what had happened between him and Brenda, al do Erica's version had been a little more pro Brenda but that had to do with the fact that Erica had always looked up to Brenda in that way she wasn't any different than her older brother . Something what Iris didn't knew was that the friendship between Brandon and Dylan was kind of over. Dylan had never told her that. Kelly went on by telling her that she just wanted a happy wedding where people weren't constantly fighting each other she wanted that the friendship between Dylan and Brandon would be mended. And she wanted Dylan to be happy and Dylan would only be happy when he was with Brenda. Iris told her that she knew that but that there was noting she could do about that. Kelly told her that that wasn't true she could talk to Brenda and pursues her to talk her problems over with Dylan. And if Brenda and Dylan where back together the friendship between him and Brandon would mend on is own. Iris thought that Kelly's last comment was a little naïve. But Iris wanted first and foremost that her son would be happy and she also knew that Kelly was right Dylan was only truly happy when he was with Brenda. Besides Iris loved Brenda and she couldn't imagine anybody else as daughter in law. She also felt that she owed Dylan her help she knew that she never was a good mother to him she left him when he was just six years old al do this was not by her own free will Jack McKay had forced her to but now she finally had chance to make one thing right for him. So she did something she never in her live thought she would ever do she would help out Kelly Taylor. Next Monday she would be on a plane back to L.A.

Alex Hayes wasn't a very happy camper, Brenda had just told him that they where leaving to Los Angeles early Monday morning. First Alex had tried to persuade to go ad a latter date the wedding would not be in tree weeks and he couldn't take that long of from work. But Brenda was stubborn as always when she had maid up her mind about something, and told him she had promised her brothers fiancé to help with the wedding reversal. Besides Alex didn't have to stay until the wedding he could just come back one day before the wedding. He knew she was right he didn't had to stay but still he didn't like the idea that she would be ´´alone in LA with Dylan McKay around. Alex hated Dylan because he formed a trait to his relationship with Brenda. He knew that Brenda loved Dylan more than she loved him and this little fact was almost unbearable to live with but he thought that as long as Dylan was out of the picture it wouldn't be a very big problem and Alex had every intention of keeping it that way.
He had loved Brenda from the moment his sister had introduced them. She was funny kind smart and very beautiful she was everything that he had ever searched for in a girl. But he knew she was taken and that she had know intentions to leave her boyfriend. So he kept a low profile and tried to be as close to her as possible it least than he could be around. Of course Dylan had noticed this and made it quite clear to him to keep his hands of. But Alex couldn't do this he couldn't get Brenda out of his mind oh he tried but he just couldn't there was something about that girl that drove him wild. But soon things turned his way, the bank where he worked had this year a cultural corporate theme and where sponsoring the world renown play 1The Forced Marriage by Aphra Behn. And Brenda Walsh was offered one of the lead parts. Since he was the commercial director of the bank he was responsible for promoting the play and that mend that he could spend a lot of time with Brenda. Dylan of course wasn't very happy with the entire situation and tried to intervene but luckily for Alex his intervention back fired and drove Brenda straight in to his arms.
But know it looked like the tables where again turning. Brenda had been offered a lead part in a new to produce television series and she had accepted it without even consulting him. He was furious it mend that she had to move back to LA with Kieran. He knew that Dylan was Kieran's father but he had grown really fund on the little boy anyway. Her father again had
asked to be transferred back to the LA office and since Jim Walsh was a very big player he could to so without any scruples. He an on the other hand couldn't just to that he could ask his boss but he didn't really know what he would say. Further more al his family lived in England it would be hard to leave them. But then again he loved Brenda and he didn't really wanted to be without her. But a long distance relationship wouldn't be a solution for this problem; he knew if he didn't want to lose Brenda to Dylan he had to move with her.
