Twis birthday

Brenda woke up and smiled 'its my birthday!!' she thought 'actually its our birthday' she smiled as she remember she'll never celebrate her birthday alone… Brandon knocked on her room

"Brandon come in.." she said

"hey birthday girl… happy birthday…"

"hey birthday boy… happy birthday to you too…"

"come on get ready and help mom downstairs…" Brandon said kissing her sister at her forehead

"ok…I'll be down in a minute…" Brenda said

"I think that's a little understatement…" Brandon teased her knowing that it's impossible for Brenda to get ready in 'a minute'

"Brandon it's our birthday… don't I get a day off from you teasing me all the time?"

"Hey I'm telling the truth here…"

"yeah right…I promise I'll be there ASAP… now go…"

Brandon went downstairs to find his mom starting to prepare "hey honey…happy birthday… eat your breakfast now…where's you sister?"

"Getting ready…she'll be down here in a minute..." he said giving emphasis on 'in a minute' Cyndi rolled her eyes…she knew what Brandon meant.

The day went fast as they get ready for the party, Brenda went upstairs to get ready again, while Brandon waits for their guests, at around 6:00 pm Brandon and Brenda's friends started to arrive. The first one who got there was Steve and Andrea

"hey happy birthday!!!" Andrea said hugging Brandon

"thanks chief.."

"brando!!! Happy birthday man…" Steve hug him too

"thanks mate.."

"where's our birthday girl?" Steve asked

"upstairs getting ready…" Brandon said "c'mon lets shoot first before everybody gets here.." he said Steve and Brandon went at the back and played basketball. Andrea stayed behind and help Cyndi with the finishing touches.

"this looks great Cyndi…" Andrea said

"thank you Andrea… do you wanna eat now?"

"no, I'll wait for the others…thanks" Andrea said and Cyndi nodded. After a few moments, a doorbell rang "I'll get it…" Andrea said

As she opened the door she saw Donna, Kelly and David "hi guys…" she greeted

" hi Andrea.. where's the celebrants?" Donna asked

"Brenda is upstairs getting ready, Brandon and Steve are playing basketball at the back…" Andrea explained

"i'll go get them.." David said then he heads to the back

The three girls went to the living room and talk for a while until the three boys came. Donna saw Brandon first

"hey Brandon happy birthday…" she said standing up to kiss and hug Brandon

"thanks dons.."

"happy birthday Brandon" Kelly greeted him, she hugs and kissed Brandon too but it was kinda awkward for both of them and neither of them doesn't know why.

"thanks Kel.." Brandon replied as he thought same thing 'am I attracted to Kelly for real now?' he pushed the thoughts away from his mind and smiled at them "thanks guys for coming…. Now where's my other half?" he asked as he notice Brenda wasn't around

As if on cue Brenda came in and they all turned to her looking at her, she look so beautiful, simple yet beautiful.. she's wearing a black dress that falls just before her knees (a/n: like her black dress when she and stuart went out the 2nd time..i so love that dress ). she noticed her friends eyes and said "looking for me I hope…"

"happy birthday Brenda!!" Donna said hugging Brenda, Steve, David, Andrea, Kelly went next.

"thanks guys…." She said, then she heard the doorbell "wait I have to get that I might be Ralph…" she said heading to the front door

When she opened it was Dylan, she didn't know how to react, she saw Dylan staring at her wanting to hug and kiss her, they were both lost in their thoughts. Brandon came to see who's on the door and saw Brenda and Dylan just staring at each other he clears his throat and said "are you two gonna stare at each other the whole night?" he said jokingly

Brenda got out of her thoughts and glared at Brandon, the she turns to Dylan again "come in…" she said almost whispering

"happy birthday bren.." Dylan said, he didn't know if he's gonna hug or kiss Brenda, but he decided to give her a 'friendly' hug anyway.

Brenda didn't hug back…she wanted to… but she couldn't.. "thanks!" she said plainly

"hey man its my birthday too…" Brandon said trying to sound jealous

"of course b.. happy birthday to you too…" Dylan hugs Brandon too

"thanks d.. now come on the guys were all here…" Brandon said as he went back to the living room

Brenda followed Brandon but was stopped by Dylan, she looks at him and said "what?"

"i… i…. just want to give you this…" he then handed her the flowers, a beautifully arranged flowers, Dylan knew Brenda loves flowers.

"thanks…" she said still trying to keep herself from falling again with Dylan 'not now bren…' she mentally scolded herself.

They both walk to the living room and found their friends laughing at Steve's story. They didn't noticed the two until Brenda spoke "what's so funny guys?" all eyes turned to them, they saw the flowers that Brenda was carrying, Brenda too did noticed that she still holding the flower, she quickly place the flower aside and joined the others leaving Dylan behind.

"nothing just some old story…I don't even think its funny.." Steve said innocently

Before anybody could say something jim came in "hey kiddos why don't you guys move to the backyard..? the place is ready…" Brandon and Brenda looked at him curiously

"ready?" Brandon said

"see for yourselves…" Jim said smiling

The gang headed out to the back yard, it was arranged, it has few tables and chairs, a sound system, a mini bar, it was cool… it really is a place for party. Brenda couldn't believe it "how did you do this?" she asked jim and Cyndi

"us? Not us…" Cyndi answered

Brenda eyed her brother… "not me sis…" she then look at the rest of the gang… they all shook their heads.

"actually its something we thought we would all enjoy…" a man's voice came between the silent talks, Brenda turned around and saw Ralph with the boys "and thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Walsh for letting us work in your backyard,…" he added looking at Jim and Cyndi who smiled in return.

Brenda smiled at him and move towards him "thank you Ralph…" she said hugging Ralph "thanks for this…" she then give him a quick peck on his lips

"your welcome pre.." he hesitated for a while but she continue anyway "pretty… happy birthday…"

Brenda playfully hits him in his chest and hug him again "thank you…"

The other guys clears their throat "and of course thanks guys…" she hugs them one by one

"happy birthday bren" they all greeted

"happy birthday too Brandon" Ralph said and they shook hands

"thanks for this Ralph…" Brandon said

"happy birthday too Brandon…" the guys greeted him too

"thanks…"

"ok… seeing your all here now, why don't you start the party?" Cyndi said and the gang dispersed in the tables around them

"but guys we expect you all to behave ok? If you need us we'll be upstairs…" Jim said making all of them nod. Brandon and Brenda walks towards their parents to thank them

"thanks mom…dad…" Brandon said hugging his parents Brenda did the same.

"enjoy the party and remember…" Jim said but cut off by the twins

"that were responsible for our actions.." Brandon said

"that we have to watch each other…." Brenda said playing along

"that we have to behave…" Brandon added

"ok…I know you all know the rules…so enjoy the party.." Jim said laughing at his kids "and Brenda Ralph seems to be a nice person.."
