The twins walks back to their friends who's having fun already with the music, the food and some drinks. There were three tables, 1 was occupied by Ralph and his friends the other, was occupied by Steve, Andrea and Dylan lastly, Kelly, Donna and David were seated at the last table. Brandon seats with Steve, Andrea and Dylan. While Brenda was walking Donna and Ralph shouted her name to invite her at their respective table.
"bren!!"
"Brenda!!"
Brenda looked at them both and let a small laugh, the gang laughed also. She them mouthed 'wait!' to Ralph who nodded and she heads to Donna.
"hey nice boyfriend…" David said
Donna hits him at his arm "David!!"
"sorry… I thought.." David said
"its ok… and his not my boyfriend yet…" Brenda said coolly "i'll better check my 'boyfriend' so if you guys excuse me.." she said laughing at them then she heads to Ralph's table.
Dylan wanted to stop her, but he couldn't and he wouldn't want to cause a scene he then notice the bar…"I can't believe your parents allowed us to drink…" he said to Brandon
"me either…that means I cannot break their trust…so we better behave…" Brandon said
Dylan ignored Brandon's comment and continues to stare at Brenda.
After they all eaten, and talk some more. Ralph made the three tables into one big table so that they would be all seated together. Donna and David started to dance, then Ralph's friends followed. They were having fun at the 'dance floor' they dance as a group, while Steve, Andrea, Kelly, Brandon, Ralph and Brenda stayed at the table watching their friends. David went to get Brenda to the dance floor, the guys cheered for them. Brenda and David danced at the middle of their friends, they were both good dancer. After a song, Ralph stood up and moved towards Brenda. "can I dance with you pretty…" he asked
"hmmm let me think about it…" Brenda said teasing Ralph the everybody laughs at Ralph's reaction
"you're cruel pretty…pretty but cruel…" he said trying to sound hurt
"I'm kidding…" she then wraps her arms around Ralph's neck and begun to dance.
Steve, Kelly, Andrea and Brandon went to dance floor joining all of their friends. They were dancing as a group and they were having so much fun.
Dylan went to the bar and got himself a drink. He continue to stare at Brenda 'what the hell am I thinking when I hurt you that much?' he thought then he sip at his drinks.
Everybody was having so much fun that they didn't notice Dylan. But Brenda knew instinctively that Dylan wasn't with them at the dance floor, she then caught Dylan at the corner of her eyes. 'what the hell is he thinking?' she thought she excused herself to her friends and walks over to Dylan.
"not enjoying my party I see…" she said casually
"bren…"
"hhmmmm?"
"bren can we….can we.." he trailed off as their friends approached the bar
"hey d I hope we still have something to drink there…" Brandon said without realizing that Brenda and Dylan were talking.
"don worry sir, we have plenty.." the bar tender said
The gang ordered their drinks and continue partying. Brenda reluctantly join them leaving Dylan behind, little did she know, Ralph stayed behind to talk to Dylan.
"Dylan…" he started "I just wanted you to know that Brenda and I weren't together, and its true that I love her…and I wanted us to be together, but something's telling me that she really needed time to figure what she really wanted and I'm cool with it…"
"I wanted her back Ralph…to tell you honestly I couldn't stand to watch you guys together…"
"I know I felt the same way when I see her with you or just the way she looks at you…I know that she still had feelings for you…I just hope you wouldn't hurt her again…she's special Dylan and it'll break my heart to see her hurting again…"
"I know… and I wouldn't try hurting her again.. I love her so much to see her hurting again…"
"so.."
"so I guess we let Brenda decide who she really wanna be with…"
"yeah I guess so… but i'll tell you Dylan I'm totally ok with whatever she wanted…"
"I can't tell you the same thing but I'd respect her decision.."
They both shook hands and continue drinking. Brenda noticed them talking and whispered to Donna "what the hell they're talking about?
"you?" Donna teased her
"Donna.."
"sorry.. I mean what else can they talk about but you…"
"oh I hope not…"
Then they continue partying. When Dylan was about to order another drink Brenda walks in and said "I think you had enough Dylan… why don't you join us instead of drinking yourself to death?"
"hey bren…"
"don't hey bren me…you know what alcohol does to you…"
"ok.. I'm sorry… but I'm ok… and believe me I wouldn't try getting on your fathers bad side…"
"so then stop drinking now…"
"yes ma'am…" he said under his breath then turn to Ralph "you know how she is when she gets mad…" the guys laughs
"are you two making fun of me?" Brenda said noticing they were laughing
"us? Of course not… now go enjoy the party…I promise not to drink…" Dylan said
She just glared at him then she pull Ralph back to the dance floor.. after an hour or two the gang got tired and decided to go back to their tables. Dylan join them and seated besides Brenda, who didn't have the choice to move away because Ralph seated on her other side. One of Ralph's friends walks towards the sound system and ask the DJ to change the songs into mellow one..then he return to the table.
"so you guys had fun?" Brandon asked
The gang nodded, they didn't need to tell him that they had fun because it was obvious to everybody. They all talk about school and about how they were when they first met the twins. They all laughed as they reminisce their not so distant past.
One of Ralph's friend broke the laughter "hey bren…we hate to go now but we still have another party to attend to.."
"aww…really… well I guess I'll see you at school.."
They all stand up and said their goodbyes "are you leaving too?" Brenda asked Ralph
"do you want me to stay?" Ralph asked
She nodded "its ok Ralph…we'll go ahead…you can stay here with your 'pretty'" one of the guys teased which makes the gang burst into laughter again
"ok I'll stay… what bren wants bren gets…" he said teasing Brenda more
Brenda raised her eyebrows and gave Ralph her infamous look , Ralph stop laughing and instantly look serious "sorry" he said
"ok guys… thanks for everything and I'll see you around…" Brenda said turning to the guys who still laughing
"bye bren… happy birthday again to you two…" they said looking at bran and bren
"Thanks guys.." Brandon said
"bye!!!" they all said as the guys headed out
"So what do we do know?" Andrea asked
"why don't we guys play basket ball then you girls cheer for us?" Steve said teasing the girls
"ok..ok to the basketball part but not to the cheering part…" Kelly said looking at Steve
"Ralph to you wanna play with us?" Dylan asked him
Before he answer he look to Brenda who nodded "ok… Id love too…"
"so I guess the party is over?" David asked
"yeah David…I think we had enough partying all night…" Donna answered
The guys went to the court and begin their match Dylan and Steve were teammates while Brandon and Ralph were their opponents.
The girls with David sat at the lawn and watched them play, Brenda is still drinking along with other girls. Dylan glances over Brenda once in a while as if he's asking for a little inspiration from her.
"so bren have you decided yet?" Donna asked they were all a little tipsy
"on what?"
"oh come on bren you have those two fighting for your love…" Donna said
"well…I still don't know… Ralph and I had talk about it, but he assures me that I can take all his time and that he's ok with whatever decision I'll make…"
"he's nice isn't he?" Andrea said
"yeah I'm happy to know him… he said that he waited nearly two years just to know me and that he could wait a lifetime for me…."
"so are you gonna have him waiting for that long?" Kelly but in not sure how Brenda would react
"of course not Kel… I think I'm having a clearer mind now…but I'm not rushing things over…they both have to wait…"
Kelly was surprised when Brenda actually talk to her without any hurt feelings, "hey Kel…don't worry were ok now…yes you hurt me pretty badly and I'm still hurting a bit but I couldn't stay mad at you at Dylan forever…and besides Ralph helped me a lot…"
"how so?" Andrea asked
"well, we talk all the time…and I'm getting worried that he'll get tired of all the dramas of my life, but no…he listened to everything I've said…I guess I just needed to let out all those emotional baggage I had…and now I feel lighter and at peace.."
"I'm sorry bren…I know I've said it a zillion times and it doesnt cover what I had done…but still I'm sorry…"
"its ok Kel..i guess I'm ok…"
"finally…I've been waiting for this…both you…I miss you guys…" Donna said hugging them
"and I too.." Andrea jive in
"hey hey hey..is this a private party?" Brandon said as the guys approached them
"well I'm kinda left out here.." David said
"you know those four…come on lets get some drinks…" Dylan said
Brenda broke the hug and stared at Dylan "I believe you said something about your last drink earlier…"
"yeah right… I mean soda or water…we just had a basketball game bren.. I think I need some liquid here…"
"ok why don't we get our last rounds of drinks and call the night off after that?" Ralph said
"I agree…" Dylan said
"of course you agree…" Steve said and "I agree too…so come on guys…"
