Beth had never been so happy in her life. When she first heard they were moving, Beth didn't like the idea, she didn't want to go. Now several months later she was having the time of her life with her new friends and with Scott.
" Why do you look so happy?" Scott asked her one afternoon at lunch.
" Being with you makes me happy," Beth said, " I did have a hard first few days. Scott, you made it easier. I have a great life here, new friends and I love my life."
" But do you miss your old friends?" Scott asked.
" At times I do," Beth admitted, " I keep in touch. It's not like I'll forget them."
Sitting outside at lunch, Beth was happy now about being in Beverly Hills.
" Look at the cute couple," Dylan said coming up with Brenda, " So happy."
Brenda sat down next to Beth who smiled at her.
" What?" Beth asked.
" Nothing," Brenda said, " I'm so happy for you that's all. Scott deserves to be happy. I'm glad he found you."
Dylan then sat down, but on the opposite side next to Scott.
" Scott, buddy," Dylan said, " How's that project going? You do a great job on those computer graphics."
" I'm almost finished," Scott said, " That's my goal in life, to work with computers."
Then David came up with Donna who announced that she was having a party friday night.
" A party?" Beth said, " How exciting."
" You are definitely invited Beth," Donna said, " Basically a small gathering. Scott, you're invited too."
The idea of going to a party sounded like fun to Beth, but would her father allow her to go?
Beth went home that afternoon with Scott, David and Donna.
" I'm home," Beth announced, " Come in."
Beth's mother then came into the room from the kitchen.
" You have a good day at school?" Beth's mother Kate asked.
" Wonderful," Beth answered.
" It's good to see you again Scott," Kate said, " I see you brought some friends too."
" David Silver," David said, " I'm Scott's best friend, next to Beth that is."
" Donna Martin," Donna said, " One of Beth's best friends."
" I have more friends then this," Beth said, " Mom, Donna is having a party on Friday. You have to convince dad to let me go."
" You know your father, Beth," Kate said, " But I'll talk to him. If you're home at a certain hour, I'm sure he'll let you go."
" Why don't we go to the Peach Pit?" Donna suggested, " We can talk more there."
" You can go," Kate said, " I'll talk to your father later."
" Thanks," Beth said hugging her mother, " I'll be home later."
" No later then ten," Kate said, " You know that."
" I know," Beth said.
Beth then just went to the Peach Pit with the rest of the gang. In the back of her mind she was thinking, " If my father doesn't let me go, I will have to figure a way to go without being noticed."
