"Wait a minute." Kelly observed Donna and David on the couch, "Are you two... Are you guys back together?" She beamed, and they both nodded, all giddy.
"Oh my god!" Kelly gasped, excitedly. "You wasted no time since you moved back in." She grinned at David, before jumping onto both of them on the couch, "My best friend and my brother!"
"Yeah! We're very happy!" Donna boasted.
"I'm so happy for you." Kelly smiled to them as she got up and headed to the kitchen. "This is starting off as as epic summer! The countdown to my wedding begins and-" She paused, glancing at both of them as Donna handed David a paper, whispering. "What's going on?"
"Nothing." Donna shrugged
"Come on, tell me!" Kelly ordered
"It's nothing I just got this letter from..." David sighed
"Oh." Kelly nodded, finally grasping onto the situation, "You can say his name in front of me, you know."
"Sorry, Kel." David suggested, "We just didn't want to make things awkward."
"So how is Dylan?" She exhaled
"He's good. He's with Iris." David confirmed
"Oh, well that's good." Kelly seemed rather upbeat
"Yeah?" Donna asked
"Yeah... At least now there's someone watching over him, keeping him off booze. Amongst other things." Kelly sighed
"Yeah, guess so." Donna smiled sweetly at her, "But, you're okay right?"
"Yeah..." Kelly assured, "No matter what is between is, I couldn't bear if anything happened to him. I'm glad to know he's okay."
"Dylan, are you just going to mope around all day?" Iris said irritably.
"Don't start." Dylan groaned
"It's a beautiful day! These Hawaiian waters are heaven. Come on down to the beach with Erica and me." Iris pleaded
"Nah, you go ahead." Dylan remained sat at the dining table, twiddling his thumbs.
"Erica, go pack up the beach bag, I need a word with your brother." Iris said sternly. Turning back to Dylan once Erica was out of earshot. "Dylan, you did the right thing..."
"Yeah, I'm sure you're real happy about it." Dylan scoffed
"That's not fair, Dylan. Despite what I think of your relationship with Kelly, I still don't want you to be hurt."
"Fine!" Dylan rolled his eyes, "Just leave me alone for a bit will ya." He groaned, causing Iris to let out an exasperated sigh. She walked over to a cabinet and pulled out an envelope.
"This came for you." She handed it over to him
"Seriously?" He snapped, pushing it aside.
"Are you going to go?" She asked
"Not planning on it, no... There's nothing left for me in Beverly Hills." Dylan scoffed
"What about your friends... what about Brandon? He's the closest thing you have to a brother."
"Yeah, and he's about to marry the girl of my dreams." Dylan responded, agitated by the discomfort of the conversation.
"They want you to be there... Won't you even consider it?"
"Iris..." Dylan turned to face her, "Walking away from her, was the hardest thing... how can you even ask me that?!" He glared. Iris let out an apologetic sigh as she joined him at the table.
"Dylan, some passions just burn so bright, so intense that they... were just never meant to last. All fires burn out eventually."
"She's the love of my life..." Dylan covered his face with his hands
"Often times, the love of your life is not the person you end up with."
"...Remember Christine Petit?" Dylan asked
"I know of her, yes." Iris remarked snidely,
"She loved Dad so much." Dylan paused, "So much so that when Jack died, she said... she said just because you can't be with them, doesn't mean you can't love them from afar."
"That's true." Iris nodded, "Some people you can only love from afar... But Dylan, this isn't the end for you... You're so young, you have a lot of life ahead of you."
"Yeah well, I started off alone... So I think that's the best way to go." He got up and headed to his room.
"So we've got the flowers, the catering, the table arrangement... Oh and don't forget the table ornaments." Kelly went on and on
"Hang on." Brandon looked overwhelmed, scanning through the list, "Kel... This is... expensive."
"So? You don't have to worry about that, Jackie and Mel will take care of it."
"Yeah but, -Do we need all this stuff, I mean ice sculpture? Seriously?" Brandon cringed
"Brandon, come on! This is important to me... Go big or go home!" She squealed
"Kel -"
"-Brandon." She interrupted, "You could actually help out with the decisions instead of trying to shut all mine down."
"Alright, alright I'm sorry, Kelly. It's just, I don't think we need all this stuff." He said sheepishly as Kelly glared at him
"Brandon, this is our wedding! And unlike Jackie, I only plan on doing this once!"
"Alright..." Brandon rubbed his eyes, "Look I want you to have everything you want... but, within reason."
"It IS within reason. Just focus on your job!"
"Catering... got it."
"Oh my god, I forgot! I need to call the floral arrangement guy... It's got to be ready on time!" Kelly searched furiously for his card in her bag.
"Kelly... don't you feel this all a bit hasty? I mean, we could postpone it and get it just right."
"What?" Kelly turned to face him and Brandon anxiously awaited the backlash
"Never mind." He grinned.
"Brandon, if this is too much for you, you have a right to tell her!" Valerie groaned, sitting on the couch.
"It's just a bit fast, that's all. I mean, she's pushing for everything in such a rush, I just." Brandon shrugged, pacing up and down the Walsh's living room
"So tell her!" Valerie urged
"She's excited about it all, I don't want to bring her down." Brandon shook his head
"Aren't you excited?" Valerie asked, concerned
"I am... I just... I don't know. I feel guilty."
"About the Emily thing?"
"Going into this with secrets." Brandon sighed.
"So tell her the truth." Valerie suggested
"I know I should..." Brandon stood there, uneasy.
"Brandon, you need to get it out of you... It's only going to cause more tension and conflict along the way."
The doorbell rang and Brandon went to open it.
"Brenda!" Brandon gasped
"Hey you!" Brenda waltzed in with Stuart.
"Hey guys!" Brandon hugged both of them, "Oh, so happy you're here." Brandon said, wrapping his arm around Brenda.
"Couldn't miss your wedding now, could I?" She grinned
"Brenda!" Valerie ran to hug her,
"Look at you! Fitting in nicely here I see." Brenda joked at Valerie's new Beverly Hills attire.
"And who is this tall, dark and handsome thing." Valerie smirked
"Hands off." Brenda warned, humorously.
"Stuart." He greeted, introducing himself.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Val." She shook his hand, before her, Brenda and Stuart headed into the living room.
Brandon was just about to follow them when the doorbell rang again.
"Andrea?!" Brandon gasped once he opened the door, "This is quite the reunion."
"Would I miss your big day?" She beamed up at him
"Oh my god, Hannah!" Brandon said picking her up, "She's gotten so big."
"Yeah..." Andrea smiled
"How's Jessie?" Brandon asked, "Couldn't he make it?"
"He's good, great. Great father..."
"That's great!" Brandon smiled
"...We're... well, we're erm... we're kinda, sorta, separated." Andrea finally breathed out
"What?" Brandon asked, astonished
"It's fine. Really we're fine. We're co-parenting and getting along great... we just, you know, may have rushed things and... needed to take a step back."
"Oh... yeah." Brandon nodded, apologetically.
Erica jumped onto Dylan's bed, where he laid there, resting.
"You missed out today." Erica sighed
"I know. I'm sorry. I'll be better company tomorrow." Dylan pulled her in for a hug
"What's that?" Erica asked, grabbing the box on Dylan's bedside table and opening it. "It's a ring!" She gasped, "Are you going to ask Kelly to marry you?!"
"No... Kelly and I aren't together anymore, Erica." Dylan sighed
"Oh, why?" Erica asked "Do you not love each other anymore?"
"Sometimes... love isn't enough." Dylan assured
"That's not true." Erica shook her head
"Oh you have all the answers now, do ya?" Dylan joked
"Iris and I watched Aladdin yesterday and she said he didn't need to become a prince in the end because his love for Jasmine was enough."
"Iris told you that?" Dylan grinned at her
"Yeah!" She beamed, fiddling with the ring.
"Iris, you got enough cash?" Dylan asked from the bedroom
"Yeah, why?" Iris called out
"Because I'm going home." Dylan came out with his suitcase.
"Oh, Dylan!" Iris beamed, "I'm so glad you changed your mind. Brandon will be so pleased
"I'm going to stop the wedding." Dylan warned, heading out
"What?" Iris gasped, "Dylan, no! Don't do that! Dylan!" She yelled but he was heading into his car, "Dylan come back here! This is crazy!"
She groaned as he drove off. Erica came and stood beside her
"What's gotten into him!" Iris shook her head
"I don't know he just said... sometimes love is enough... and got up." Erica shrugged
"Did you have something to do with this?" Iris warned
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Erica shrugged again.
