Casa Walsh

It was about eleven when Donna arrived at the Walsh house. It was about eighty degrees outside and she was loving every minute of it. As she walked up to the front door she couldn't help but notice that the house looked deserted for this time of day. She rang the doorbell and waited for someone to answer. Her fears were soon put to rest when Brandon answered the door.

"Donna... Hey!" He said a little shocked that she was here.

"Is David around?" She asked ignoring his aparent shock.

"Actually they just left to pick you up and head to the beach... he didn't tell you?" He asked afraid that he may have just stepped into something he shouldn't have.

"No he must have forgot that part... Okay well I guess I am off to the beach..." Donna started to say.

"How's Kelly doing?" Brandon asked obvously concerned for her.

"She's asleep in her old room... she had asked me to get her some Tylonol and when I got back to the room she was passed out clutching a pillow... she didn't sleep last night if that is what you were wondering..." Donna said seeing the look on his face.

Brandon just looked at her with this sad stare. His eyes where dark from lack of sleep and she could tell. Donna figured that if she told him that Kelly hadn't slept either it would somehow put him at ease knowing that she needed him as much as he needed her. All it really did for him, though, was make him realize that he needed to tell her his feelings so that this whole mess would be fixed. He hated to see her this way but just couldn't get the words to come out right. Tonight I will tell her... I don't care how long it takes me or how stupid I sound... I am going to tell her tonight!

Donna could tell something was on his mind and she had a pretty good idea what it was. If it was what she was thinking she knew that Brandon would go through with it and Kelly would be thrilled. At least that is what it sounded like the night before when they were talking about it. A slight smile spread across her lips as she thought of the two of them together. She didn't realize that the smile was there until she saw the look Brandon was giving her.

"What?" She asked him because he was smiling.

"Just trying to figure out what your smiling at." He told her.

"Talk to Kelly... everyone knows you want to tell her something and the sooner you do the sooner we can all get back to the way things use to be..." She told him as she turned back to get in her car.

"Hey Donna!..." Brandon called out to her.

"Yeah..." She asked turning around.

"Is the spare key still under the turtle on the deck? I think I might surprise Kelly later..." Brandon said as an idea formed in his mind.

"Last time I checked it was... Good Luck!" She said as she got in her car and drove away.

Brandon was left on the front porch to think about what he was going to do. I have to tell her... he kept thinking as he walked to where the trusty basketball had been placed. Man that thing had gotten him through a lot of things growing up. As he held the ball in his hands, he thought about all the times he would stand in front of the hoop, as he tried to decide the best thing to do in any given situation. He took his stance on that one spot in front of the hoop and holding the ball in his hand said to himself... It's now or never! With that he released the ball and as it sailed throught the air he just watched it. He could hear the phone ringing but he didn't move to answer it. I'm going... Just as Brandon turned to head to his car he heard the ball swoosh through the net. Inside the phone was still ringing... at least until the machine picked up...

"Hey you've reached Brandon, Kelly, Steve, and Valerie... sorry we're not here but leave your name, number, and a message and someone will return your call..."

"Hey Bran... I didn't know you and Kelly were living together... anyways off subject... it's your other half calling with some big news!... but I guess you aren't there so give me a call... it's kind of important... you know the number! Talk to you soon! Love ya... Bye" Brenda's voice could be heard throughout the house but no one was there to listen.

Author's Note: You wanted her so there she is... Brenda's back but you'll have to wait to find out her BIG NEWS!!! I know mean right? I'm still working on what I want that news to be... Let me know if any of you have any ideas so I can take them into consideration. Keep up the reviews! Oh and thanks for reading...
