At the Peach pit
"so what are we celebrating this time?" Nat asked the gang
"not actually celebrating Nat… Brandon and Shae were leaving tomorrow… but they'll be back for Brenda's wedding.." Donna said
Donna, David, Steve, Janet, Andrea, and Valerie were all there waiting for the rest of the gang. Suddenly Kelly, Dylan and Erica came in.
"hey guys…" they greeted each other.
"where's the twins? They're always late…" Dylan said, he didn't noticed Brenda and bane coming towards them
"who's late mckay?" Brenda asked Dylan jumped at the sound of her voice and turned to her. 'god why does she always have to look stunning?' he thought
"well, I remember you both being late to our meeting place back then…" Dylan said. Brenda playfully hit him in his arms.
"hey d be nice… we've changed a bit…" Brandon said
Dylan kept an eye to Brenda, she look so beautiful… and he's glad that they remained close after everything that happened. Brenda sit besides Dylan and Erica, Bane sit across her while Shae and Brandon sit beside him.
"so I'll get you all the usual?" Nat said
"yeah!!!" they all shouted
While waiting for their orders the gang talked separately with one another. The boys were talking about something, Valerie Andrea and Donna were talking about hannah's performance in school. Kelly and Erica were chatting about Andy, while Brenda and Dylan remained silent. The gang didn't noticed them, even Bane or Erica. Dylan break the silence between them. "so bren.. did you do your shopping for the house?"
"hmmm not yet… I think I'll do it next week… I'm not rushing things…" she replied
"well if you need help you know were to find me…" Dylan said
"yeah..thanks…" Brenda said
Suddenly a man came to the karaoke and played loosing my religion. Dylan looked at Brenda while Brenda looks down. Then they laughed at themselves, "why are acting like this…" Dylan said laughing at Brenda
"I don't know about you but I just felt weird before…" Brenda said
"remember when you forgot your id when we went to baja?" Dylan said
"how could I forget that.?" She said still laughing a little
"I remember the inspector told us that he needed to be sure if you are a citizen or what.. then you told him…"
"I'll be a dead citizen if my dad finds out!!" they both said loud enough to get the attention of the gang, they laughed harder as they remember that moment
The gang looked at them curiously then they all noticed the song, "care to share it to us guys…" Brandon asked
"oh it depends on bren.." Dylan said looking at bren
"well, its nothing we just remember the inspector from the toll gate, when we went to baja…" Brenda said, she told them what happened and they all burst into laughter. Kelly laughs too, but she felt weird hearing that story.
"you guys were nuts…" Val said
"yeah were are…" Dylan said
Bane felt a little awkward too…Brenda saw him and get up to sit beside him "hey honey you ok?"
"yeah, I just felt tired suddenly.." Bane lied
Brenda knew he was lying "oh Bane don't even think of anything ok? I'm sorry…" Brenda whispered to Bane
Bane smiled at Brenda, he knew Brenda wouldn't do anything to hurt him intentionally "no I'm sorry beauty… I shouldn't feel anything, I trust you…"
Brenda kissed him at his lips and smiled "thank you…"
The gang knew what happened, they felt the tension between the four of them. Dylan didn't make any move to Kelly coz he didn't want to make it a big deal. There was an awkward silence between the group until Donna spoke " bren my staff started to make the gowns!! And I like your choice, actually I was hoping you would pick that one…"
Brenda gave her a thanks-for-saving-me smile "yeah I really like that one too, but the other two were also beautiful… you did a great job…" Brenda said smiling to Donna
David also noticed the tension, he stood up and went to karaoke to change the song., . Brenda saw Kelly eyeing her, but she avoided eye contact with her, she didn't wanna make a scene there, she knew she had to let this one passed. Nat came to served their orders.
"ok this is on the house… and Brenda don't insist of paying ok… I'm still part owner of this dinner…" Nat said before Brenda could say anything
"ok… if you say so… thanks Nat.."
"no problem Laverne!!" Nat teased
This made the gang burst into laughter again. They remembered Brenda playing Laverne at peach pit! Brenda laughed also, and she's thankful to Nat coz she felt the tension loosen up.
"hey I made a lot of money being Laverne!" Brenda said laughing
"me too Brenda.." Nat said "so what do you say Laverne, you still have your spot here.."
"oh no thanks Nat… I think I can't do that now…" Brenda said
"well, just so you now the offer will be open forever…" Nat said "ok eat your dinner kiddos.."
They all ate their mega-burgers and fries. The gang went back to chatting, Kelly stand up and went to the restroom, Brenda followed her, Donna was about to stand up when Andrea stopped her. "they need to talk" she whispered to Donna, and she nodded
At the rest room
Brenda waited for Kelly to come out of the cubicle.
"hey.." Brenda said trying to sound as casual as she ca "I'm sorry about earlier…'
"no Brenda I'm sorry… I should've acted like that…"
"ok, lets settle this, you don't have to worry about me, I love Bane more than anything else, and I would die without him, I wanna marry him and spend the rest of my life as her wife and a mother to our kids… and with Dylan, I'm sorry… you knew how close we are, we never really broke our friendship in spite of what had happen, but that just it… were just bestfriends.. " Brenda said
"I know that bren… I just can't help myself sometimes…"
"well Kel, its time to let go of whatever you're feeling about us… and be secure with your relationship with Dylan, he loves you Kel… I knew that for a fact.."
"thanks bren.. promise I'll never doubt our relationship and our friendship…"
"and I promise not to get too close with Dylan for everybody's sake…" she said laughing
"I'm sure Dylan wouldn't want that… you're his bestfriend bren… don't keep yourself from getting close to him.."
"ok.. I'll try.. Bane trust me but I knew he feel jealous sometimes…"
"we couldn't helped it, especially when we knew how 'truly madly crazy in love' you guy were."
"which is.. what? 10-11 years ago… I love Dylan but just a friend or a brother… nothing more.."
"I believe you bren…" Kelly hugs Brenda
"ok now c'mon, they might think we got flushed here.." they went out laughing at the last comment of Brenda
The gang look at them curiously. "you're crazy!!" Kelly said
"what? I just thought of it out of the blue…" Brenda said still laughing
Dylan smiled at them, he knew Brenda wouldn't let anything happen between the three of them of four of them including Bane.
"so bren we'll be leaving tomorrow… are you sure you can handle everything while I'm not around?" Brandon started to teased Brenda
"hey.. I'm a big girl now…" Brenda said "and besides Bane is here…"
"and me..' Val said
"ok with Bane I think you're ok… but with Val?" he said teasing Val too
"hey be nice.. " Val said
"well I'll just say that I've known both of you for like…what…ahmm say all your life.. and I knew how crazy you two could be…" Brandon said, which made the gang laugh a little
"don't worry Brandon I'll be with them…" Erica but in
Dylan rolls his eyes…"of course you will… and I know you could put some senses to those two when needed…" Brandon said sarcastically
"hey.. what are you worried about?" Brenda asked
"nothing.. just felt like worrying…" Brandon replied
"you're crazy…" Brenda said
"I'm you're better half remember?" Brandon said, Brenda stuck her tongue out to Brandon
"ok… now seriously… we'll be back probably same as mom and dad…" Brandon said
"but Brandon they're not here till 3 days before our wedding… I'm kinda hoping you'll be here at least a week before.." Brenda said
"see… I know that you still need your big brother around…" Brandon said "well, let me see what I can do.. I'll call you as soon as I talked to our boss…"
"you're the best!!" Brenda kissed Brandon all over his face
"gross!! Bren!!!" Brandon joke
Brenda hits him at his chest…"can't a twin sister shower her twin brother with kisses?"
They all laughed at Brenda's words. Soon after, the gang said their goodbyes to Brandon and Shae. They stayed at the peach pit for a while, they didn't want to go home yet, besides Brandon and Shae's flight will be in the afternoon.
"I think I wanna dance!!!" Brenda said out of the blue
"hmmm I think I like that one too.." David said
"David you always love dancing…" Donna said
"so were going to a club?" Erica said
Everyone looks at her "no missy I'll drop you home… you know the rules.. and don't argue with us ok?" Dylan said
Erica looks at Kelly but she mouthed 'sorry' then she looks at Brenda, Brenda moved towards her "hey squirt… you know the rules right?" Erica nodded "and besides it's weekdays, meaning…"
"I have school tomorrow.." Erica said sadly
"right… hmmm what do you say I'll drop you home?" Brenda asked
Erica didn't say anything.. she just nodded. "and then on Saturday after we meet our wedding coordinator we'll go shopping and watch a movie or something?"
The gang smiled they knew it would cheer up Erica, she too, like all of the girls loves shopping.
Erica smiled at her "promise?"
"promise… now wipe that frown…" Brenda said
"so were really going to go out now?" Val said
"yeah that's the plan… well I mean if you guys like it…" Brenda said
"as much as I would love too, but I need to go check the kids…" Janet said "but Steve can go out with you guys… just make sure he's sober when he gets home…"
"are you sure?" Steve asked he obviously wanted to go with the gang
"I'm positive…" Janet said
"see… I have the most understanding wife in the world…" Steve said smiling
"don't push it Steve.. I'm letting you go coz I know these guys…" Janet said
"sorry.. but still… thank you.." he said
"Andrea are you coming with us..?" Brandon asked
"well, of course I want to, but I have to check first on grandma rose.. Hannah is with here.. let me just call her first and let her know.." she pulled her cell phone and excused her self. After a few moments "ok, I'm going with you guys…" she said
