"so bren where's your date later?" Brandon asked obviously in the mood for teasing Brenda
"none of your business Brandon…" Brenda snap at him
"whoa..easy sis I'm just asking…"
"yeah I know…sorry…" she eyed everybody who look like they're still waiting for Brenda's answer "ok fine…were just going to the beach and probably drop by to the pit.. satisfied?" she finished looking at Brandon
"you know sis you look kinda cute when you're pissed… maybe I should piss you off more often…"
"ha ha ha funny Brandon…" Brenda said sarcastically
Donna noticed the necklace that Brenda is wearing "hey bren that's beautiful…" she said pointing on Brenda's neck
"ahh…yeah.." she look at Dylan who hadn't said a word since she came "its from Ralph…"
"yeah the one that he didn't want you to open until he's gone?" Donna asked Brenda nodded.
"hey D…you ok?" Brandon asked Dylan noticing that he's been quite all the time.
"yeahB I'm cool…come on let's shoot…" Dylan said putting a happy face
"ok…I know that the girls will be kind enough to take care of the dishes…" Brandon said looking at his girl friends.
"yeah right ace…" Andrea replied
"thanks chief…" Brandon said
The boys went out while the girls clean up their mess. When everything was clear the girls decided to join the boys outside, but Brenda opted to go to her room. Soon after the Walsh parents arrived and Cyndi started to prepare the lunch. Donna, Andrea and Kelly help, the gang were the biggest fans of Cyndi when it comes to he cooking well of course aside from her family, the girls enjoyed the time they've spent with Cyndi at the kitchen, aside from Andrea who knew a little about cooking the girls didn't have any idea on how Cyndi cook so well, Cyndi taught them basics in cooking while preparing the lunch and promised them to teach them if they really want to learn. After setting the table, Kelly called the boys outside who stopped playing basketball a little while ago to rest before lunch. Brenda hasn't come out of her room yet, Donna went to get her but she told her that she's not hungry at all and that she's not feeling well and she wants to rest. Donna reluctantly leaves Brenda alone. When Donna returned to the kitchen Brandon asked "where's bren?"
"she's not hungry… and she wanted to rest some more before going out later…she said she's sorry.." Donna relayed Brenda's message.
"I'll go check on her.." Jim said
"no dad…I'll go…you guys can eat now…I'll be back…" Brandon said leaving Jim no choice
"you heard your son Jim.." Cyndi said to Jim seeing that he still wanna check with Brenda, Jim nodded and sighs "ok..come on guys lets eat I'm sure she's ok.."
The gang nodded they too were worried about Brenda, especially Dylan. But they all know that Brandon will take care of Brenda if she's really not feeling well otherwise Brenda will be ok after she get some rest.
Upstairs to Brenda's room
"knock knock" Brandon said while knocking, Brenda didn't answer she knew Brandon will come in whether she likes it or not. True to her thoughts Brandon came in.
"hey sis…you ok?"
"I'm ok…I just need some sleep…I didn't sleep till 4 this morning…and I'm going out later so I need to rest…tell mom I'm sorry but I'll eat later after I take my nap…"
"bren.. I know something's bothering you…you know you can tell me right?"
"I know that Brandon… I just…not now…but I'm ok… promise…now go tell the others I'm ok.."
"ok..if you say so bren.." Brandon gave up knowing how stubborn Brenda could be "I'm here for you ok?" he said kissing his sister
"thanks Brandon…"
Brandon went down and join the others, he somehow convince everybody that Brenda was ok..except for Dylan. But Dylan didn't say anything he didn't want to make it any hard for Brenda. After the lunch, the gang started to leave on by one, until its only Dylan left who promised Brandon to help him with his car.
Its almost 4:00 in the afternoon when Brenda came out of her room ready for her date with Ralph. She called him earlier and told him to pick her up at 4. she saw Dylan and Brandon working on his car.
"hey sis…good to see you out of you room…"
"well hello to you too Brandon.." she said smiling
"so are you ok now bren?" Dylan asked
"yeah..i guess I just got tired of everything that happened yesterday….im ok know.." she anwered
"is Ralph picking you up?" Brandon asked
"yeah he should be here anytime now…" she answered as if on cue they saw Ralph's car coming
"there's your ride bren…see yah later…" Brandon said putting his arm around Brenda's shoulder "and be careful…" he kissed Brenda's forehead
"I will…" Brenda answered looking at Dylan then she started to walk towards Ralph's car. Ralph came out of the car and opened the door for Brenda "hey…" Ralph said kissing Brenda
"hi.." she got in the car, Ralph waves goodbye to Dylan and Brandon then get inside the car too.
"hey I was thinking maybe we could get take out from the peach pit then go to your place instead of the beach, we could watched some movies… I'm not really in the mood to go to the beach now…" Brenda said while they were on their way
"sounds good to me…" Ralph said
They went to get their mega-burgers from the peach pit and headed to Ralph's place. His family loves Brenda. Ralph got 2 baby sisters who adore Brenda. Mr and Mrs Lawrence treated her like their own. She's been there several times before with Ralph's friends, and she actually loved Ralph's family she felt so at home with them. They went to Ralph's room and started to watch a movie. They were seating at the floor at the end of the bed, Brenda was leaning on Ralph who has his arms around Brenda. They didn't talk much through the movie, they both enjoyed the movie, the mega burgers and each others company. Karen one of Ralph's sister went to see them, she knocked first "can I come in Ralph?"
"sure Karen…" Ralph answered, Karen opened the door
"mom was wondering if you would like to join us in dinner…" Karen said
"yeah that'll be great…" Brenda answered for them then she walks towards Karen and headed downstairs, Ralph closely followed the girls. When he got to the kitchen, her family and Brenda was laughing, he smiled at the sight, he wanted Brenda to be part of his family, he really love Brenda.
"hey are you gonna stare at us whole night?" Brenda said noticing Ralph
Ralph smiled and join them. His family were all nice to Brenda, he never brought a girl home whom his family loved like this. The dinner went well, the family kept on asking Brenda if Ralph and her are together, she told them "not yet…but lets see…" it was music to Ralph's ears, could it be Brenda falling for him too? After dinner, Brenda helped Mrs. Lawrence in cleaning the dishes, Karen and Nicole helped them too. They found Mr. Lawrence and Ralph in the living room watching TV. Brenda was about to join them when Nicole stop her "hey bren do you want to go to my room?"
Brenda smiled at her "of course sweetie.. come on.. your brother is busy anyway.."
The girls went to Nicole's room, it was beautifully decorated, with all the girly stuffs, she had lots of books, which got Brenda interested. She went over to the book shelves "I love reading too Nicole…" she said looking at nicole's collection of books
"me too…I've read most of the books there…if you want you can barrow some…" Nicole offered
"thanks..i may take you on that offer… " Brenda said, she noticed Karen being quiet "what about you Karen? What interest you?"
Karen smiled, she's getting jealous because Nicole and Brenda had something in common "I like acting… you know uhhmmm drama and all that I'm planning to take up acting classes this summer…"
"really? I actually had acting class last summer, it was fun! I love acting too and I'm planning to take up acting courses in college, I wanna be famous someday.."

Ralph got in the car all smiling "hey stop smiling and concentrate on your driving Ralph…" Karen teased

"we saw…" Nicole said
Meanwhile Brenda went to her room, she's thinking about the events that day and the kiss, she felt like kissing Ralph earlier, she's happy with Ralph could she be falling in love? She didn't want to think about it what's important is that she's happy with Ralph.. she fell asleep thinking about her and Ralph.
