Peach Pit
Dylan sat at the peach pit waiting for Kelly to come meet him for a late dinner. They ate there a lot since Dylan was partners with Nat and who didn't love a mega burger. He glanced around looking for Kelly when he recognized a familiar face walk through the door. He would have to be blind not to notice her since she was the girl he used to love.
"Dylan" Brenda screamed happily as she ran and gave him a hug.
"Brenda, what are you doing here?" he asked, confused since he thought she would never return from London.
"Well I came down for Kelly's 21st and because I missed the gang" Brenda told him as they sat down at the booth Dylan was occupying.
"How long are you here for?" he questioned, knowing that this could easily cause problems for him and Kelly.
"I don't know, I don't have anything in London for a few months, so maybe I will stay. Brandon says I can have my room back, might have to kick Val out" Brenda laughed.
"Does Kelly know you are back yet" He asked, concerned. Not that Kelly had anything to worry about, he had made his choice this time and planned to keep it but Brenda always seemed to come between them.
"No, how are you two by the way?" She asked him, curious, she would be lying if she said she was over him 100.
"We are doing great, you know we are both more mature now and we are making each other bigger priorities in our lives and things couldn't be better" He said honestly.
"It is funny, you know it was Brandon that told me I should come down to see Kelly, and everyone, I never figured I would actually make it back here again." She told him. Dylan grew angry when she mentioned Brandon. He hadn't even thought about it before but of course Brandon would tell Brenda to come, he knew it would cause problems.
"You know Kelly should be here any minute" Dylan said, not knowing whether to tell her to go or stay.
"I better go then," Brenda volunteered, "I want to surprise here tomorrow for her party. She then stood up and gave Dylan a hug, little did either of them know that Kelly was watching from the door.
Beach Apartment
"I can't believe you punched Ray, David" Donna yelled as she paced back and forth in the living room.
"Well I can't believe he punched you, Donna" He retorted as he leaned up against the couch.
"He didn't hit me, I can't believe Kelly told you that," Donna said. She hated lying but she loved Ray.
"Donna, it's me, I love you, don't lie to me and defend that bastard" David pleaded.
"It was only that one time," Donna told him, "it isn't going to happen again, he loves me"
"Yeah well then you both have a warped idea of love" David replied, angrily.
"You should just leave, Ray will be pissed enough that I let you in here after the scene you caused at the peach pit."
"Fine Donna, just do me a favor, next time he hits you," David replied, "make sure you return the love to him". He then stood up and left. It was hard to see Donna be so naive and so stupid about the situation. He just needed a way to get her to see Ray for the person that he really was. Maybe Valerie would be the only one that could help him.
Dylan's house
Dylan pulled up to his house and walked in. Kelly was sitting on the couch waiting for him.
"Hey babe," he said, sitting next to her on the couch, "what happened to you tonight? I thought we were having dinner?"
"So did I, but you seemed preoccupied when I got to the peach pit so I just left" She explained, slightly annoyed.
"You saw Brenda?" He asked, knowing that would be the only reason she would of left.
"Yeah, I know I probably should of said hi, I just really didn't feel so well after seeing her in your arms." She yelled. She might be acting irrational and Brenda was one of her best friends but she couldn't stand the thought of her getting in the way of things again.
"It wasn't like that Kel and you know it" he told her. He hated jealously but he could see why Kelly would be upset. Brenda brought out the green monster in Kelly all the time.
"I just thought we might actually have some time together without the past coming up to haunt us and then Brenda Walsh comes back into our lives. She is one the main reasons we broke up last time" Kelly replied.
"Yeah Brandon planned that one nicely" He told her. He wanted to punch Brandon so bad right now and if Kelly wasn't so upset he would of driven to the Walshes.
"This has nothing to do with Brandon, we couldn't expect her to stay away forever I guess." Kelly sighed.
"She isn't going to come between us, I'm with you Kelly, and I'm not changing my mind" he promised.
"Well you picked me before and then there you were back chasing after Brenda" She said.
"Yeah and you were in Washington with Brandon," he retorted, "we have both made mistakes, but this time we are getting it right.
"You promise?" She asked.
"I promise" He said, then leaned in to kiss her.
