Its almost 3 when they got at the house, they put away everything they bought, they bought take out on the way home and ate it after clearing everything they all rest at the couch and waited for the delivery. They weren't asleep, they were just talking, suddenly Brenda's cell phone rang. "hey Andrea..whats up?"

When Dylan was out of their sight Val looked at Brenda "you're right about Kelly…"
"I know I am…I've know them since high school remember? Poor Dylan.. I know he loves Kelly but i think Kelly wasn't secured with Dylan's love…"

"and speaking of those two where are they?" David asked
Brenda looked at Val first before answering "well they….."
"were here guys and we bought you foods!!" Dylan said as he and Kelly entered the living room
Val and Brenda looked at each other again, while they all greeted Kelly and Dylan. Janet, Andrea, Hannah and Erica went to fix the foods at the back of the house Brenda bought a nice wooded table that can accommodate 20 people, Brenda bought it specially for the gang's party and get together. Everyone moved at the back of the house and settled at the table.
"bren this place really rocks…" Steve said
"yeah bren..if you want my cousin is great at landscaping he could do you garden and your back yard.." Janet said
"you're an angel Janet…I've been thinking about it last night…you think he can do it tomorrow morning?" Brenda asked
"I think so…I'll call him now to be sure..excuse me.." Janet said walking a few feet away from them to call her cousin, soon she returned at the table "he said say bren..he'll be here at 8:00 am tomorrow.."
"thank you Janet!! I'll be here tomorrow morning too because I still need to clean up a little bit before Bane arrives.." Brenda said
"I'll come with you bren..i don't have classes.." Erica said
"me too bren..no work on weekends remember?" Val said
"thanks guys.." Brenda said "come on lets eat.."
"hey bren why is one of the rooms upstairs empty?" Steve asked
"that room? Well… uhmm I'm planning something for that room and it's a surprise for Bane.. so I'll do it when he's here.." Brenda said
"what about the basement?" David asked
"hmmm I think Bane wanted to turn it into a mini gym…I'll leave it to Bane.."
"what about the other room besides the living room?" Steve asked
"hey you guys what are you a house reporter? Let her eat.." Janet said
"no its ok Janet..thanks.. you see Bane and I shared the same love for music…he knew how to play guitar, drums and organ and I love to sing so we'll make it a music room but I want to wait for Bane cause he definitely knew what brand of instruments to buy.. and I think he wanted to have a billiard table too but that's for him to handle… its all our past time..aside from playing playstation of course…" Brenda said all at once
"the media room is the best bren…I loved it.." Donna said
"yeah Bane wanted that room we have exactly like one at our house in London.. we both love watching movies too.." Brenda said
"speaking of, what about your stuffs at london?" Andrea asked
"I listed my things that I wanted here and Bane would take care of it…I just like my teddy bears, my books, my past scripts, photo albums and other stuffs that would remained me of London…" Brenda said
"Oh my god..that will probably fill 10 boxes bren…" Donna teased
"Bane will take care of it don't worry.." Brenda said and besides we'll make the attic our office and reading room…I'm sure it'll fit all my books there…"
Brenda avoided eye contact to Dylan and Kelly… though she knew that everything's ok between the two, she too got tired of Kelly being jealous of her.
