"David, please! You can't say anything!" Kelly begged

"How did this happen? You stopped me from risking what I have with Donna, then you turn around and do the same to Brenda!"

"I'm not. I swear! I ended things this morning, okay?"

"Really?"

"Yes! I was just lonely... It was... a moment of weakness, alright?"

"Alright," David sighed "I'm glad to hear it."


The gang headed to a place called The Grill for dinner. Dining outside by the beach.

Donna and Brenda shared stories about Paris to the gang.

"We have to go together next time." Donna told David

"Yeah, Dylan we should too!" Brenda exclaimed "I wanna go back already!"

"Me too!" Donna replied

"Well, we'll always have Paris!" Brenda joked and Donna giggled

Dylan felt a shudder after those 4 words, glanced at Kelly from the corner of his eye, she pretended to fumble with her bag.

"Well Brandon and I will always have Brooke." Steve joked "What? We can't share her?" He smirked, noticing Brandon's glare.

"I gotta go!" Kelly got up abruptly "You coming?" She asked David

"I'll take him home." Donna said, "haven't had enough of him yet." She winked at him.


The following day David dragged Kelly to the beach, even though she'd much rather stay home in bed. She went for a swim, trying to shake off this sick feeling she felt in her stomach.

Then Dylan and Brenda showed up. She was all over him. Kelly couldn't bare the thought of seeing them together right now, and wondered how she could make an exit without being noticed.

"Kelly!" Brenda yelled over ecstatically. Too late, Kelly thought. They saw me.

Kelly walked out the sea, dripping wet in a red bikini. Dylan couldn't help but stare. Quickly pulled sun beds together before Brenda caught him.

"Dylan and I decided to throw a barbecue tonight!" Brenda said once Kelly met up with them. "Our last hurrah before school starts."

Kelly smiled awkwardly.

"We'll be there." David replied quickly. "Kel, can I borrow your car to pick up Donna?"

"I'll come with you." She urged

"No!" Brenda interrrupted "I've barely seen you, you're staying with me."

It was the most awkward 20 minutes for Kelly and Dylan, waiting for David and Donna to arrive.

"So, that settles it." Brenda went on "We've got the food for the BBQ... Oh should we make it a movie night?" She turned to Dylan "We could watch your favorite, Casablanca!"

"No!" Dylan and Kelly exclaimed in unison. Following by Brenda's bewilderment

"Sorry, I hate that film." Kelly quickly remarked

"I don't think the guys will be into it either." Dylan cleared his throat.

"Okay then... We'll just have music and chill on the terrace..." Brenda replied.


"Thank god this day is over! I don't know how I'm gonna stomach the BBQ tonight!" Kelly said, throwing herself onto the couch once they were home.

"Kelly... do you... are you like in love with Dylan or something?" David asked

"What? No! Of course not."

"Then what the hell is wrong with you, it was so awkward today!"

"Really? You think Brenda noticed?"

"No, because she doesn't know anything... wait, I thought there was nothing for Brenda to notice. You said you ended it?"

"I did! It's just... I don't know..."

"Oh my god... you do! You love him!"

"David shut up! I do not love him alight?!"


Everyone arrived at the barbecue. Brenda was in full hostess mode.

Dylan handled the grill.

"Hey..." David said "Could we talk?"

"Hey! Yeah sure." Dylan replied "Brandon, you're up!" Dylan called for Brandon to take over the cooking.

"Listen..." David began once he and Dylan were alone. "I know I don't know you well, but Kelly's my family. And what you did, wasn't cool at all. In fact it was pretty selfish."

"David... What the hell are you taking about?"

"I know, Dylan." David said firmly

"You know?" Dylan asked shocked

"Yes I know. And you probably think I'm pushing boundaries by saying this, but I think you should stay away from Kelly."

"I don't think that's your call, David. No disrespect bu-"

"-Yes it is." David interrupted "You hurt my sister. Stay away from her."


Kelly was in the kitchen, making the salad Brenda had asked for when Dylan walked in.

"So... David knows" he said calmly

Kelly almost jumped out of her skin

"Dylan!" She gasped "Yeah... he saw us kissing, in the cabana."

"Red zone." Dylan nodded "But he also mentioned something about me hurting you... funny huh? Didn't know you were the victim all of a sudden."

"I never said that." Kelly snapped

"Well it explains a lot... why you've been avoiding me..."

"Well, excuse me if I don't want to see Brenda all over you every day!"

"Wow... a lot of jealousy coming from someone who said it all had to be enough for both of us."

"Well... maybe it's not that easy, Dylan."

"Oh, you're telling me this?!"

"What do you want from me, Dylan? Why can't you just let it go? Do you have to make it harder?"

"Me? You brought this on yourself!"

"No, I protected myself! I predicted this would happen, I knew you'd stay with Brenda and I'd be alone. And I'm really trying to be alone and it would be so much easier if you'd just let me!"

"You didn't predict this, you MADE this happen. You ended things with me remember? I offered to tell Brenda the truth, you said we watched Casablanca, and saw some stars, that's it remember? Don't you get it? I stayed with Brenda because YOU gave me no hope to hold onto!"

"Oh please, like you were gonna leave Brenda!" She snapped

"I didn't know you wanted me to! Kel, you've been pushing me away acting like you don't care! I'm not a mind reader!"

"Well, I had to! Okay? I had to look out for me! Truth is, it doesn't matter what I want, nothing was going to change that."

"Well, I guess now we'll never know." He hissed

"Guess not." She snapped back.

Dylan was about to head out the kitchen but then turned back around

"Just one thing... I just wanna know, did you actually feel anything for me? Because for once I'd like you to be honest and tell me how you really feel!"

"What would you do with it, Dylan? The fact is, you talk a big game but you're too afraid to take a risk... we both are... so it doesn't matter alright?"

"It doesn't matter..." he mocked "This is hasn't been easy for me, alright? I think about you when I don't wanna be thinking about you... and all this time you were thinking about me too and you never told me!"

"We'll always have Paris." She shrugged

"That is not funny anymore!" He groaned

"I'm not tryin. to be funny, Dylan. I'm being realistic!"

"I'll give you realistic! I can't do this anymore!" He scratched his head "I can't go back to Brenda and make this go away! I can't do it! I can't-" He said hysterically right before he kissed her.

He couldn't help the impulsive move. All he knew was while he was suffering, Kelly actually liked him back. All this time he thought he had to suffer in silence, when the truth was, she was just too afraid to give in to him.

It felt so good to kiss her again... it felt like it had been ages since they felt each other's touch. All they knew right now was, they never wanted to let go.

The kitchen door sprung open

"Oh my god!" A voice called out.
