Sorry for taking so long to update LF, Coming Home has been inspiring me lately but I finally got some time to finish this up today. This is my own chapter on the actual episode in S4 that this story is named after, The Little Fish. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for being patient with me.

Chapter 22 Go Fish

"Thanks Jim." Brenda said nicely.

"Are you sure you are ok Bren? I mean I know we haven't hung out in a really long time but this isn't like you."

"I know I'm just going through some stuff right now but I'll be fine."

Jim smiled as he took his hands and rubbed down Brenda's arms, he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek.

Dylan stood near them and cleared his throat, without even thinking he shoved him. He glared at Jim intensely making Jim uncomfortably look down. .

"Dylan." Brenda got in front of him and Dylan moved past her getting closer to Jim.

"Dylan…please." Brenda pleaded.

Dylan looked into her eyes but as he was paying attention to Brenda, he felt Jim's fist hit his jaw.

"Come on, you're going to start something and not finish it." Jim yelled angrily.

Dylan shook his head with a smirk, they went after each other. The brawl got broken up before any more punches could be thrown.

Brenda pushed Dylan backward as they walked farther away from the fight, they looked deeply into each other's eyes, "Are you finished with the jealous boyfriend scene?" Brenda said as she shook her head, "Are you ok?" Brenda took her hand and gently touched his cheek where Jim had punched him.

"Brenda…I."

Brenda interrupted him as her lips hit his. She kissed him long and hard grabbing his shirt to pull him in closer.

Dylan was taken back, "Does that mean you forgive me?" he smiled slightly.

Brenda looked into his eyes and exhaled, "No but I guess it's a start."

"Thank you." Dylan whispered as he embraced her tightly.

"It's a start." Brenda gave him a straight face as she pulled away from him.

"Of course." Dylan nodded.

"What time is your rehearsal?" Dylan got an idea.

"There was a note in the quad, it got canceled today, why?" Brenda looked up at him curiously.

"Well what were you going to do today then?"

Brenda shrugged, "Just go to class and then nothing, what are you doing?"

"Nothing…we can do it together."

Brenda looked up at him and smiled, "Ok." she said confused.

"Come on, lets go." Dylan grabbed her hand leading her away from class.

"What about class?" Brenda said being pulled.

"I tell you about the poem." Dylan said without looking at her.

Dylan walked out of the car rental place with keys in his hand. "What are you doing?" Brenda still was so lost.

"We are going for a drive." Dylan said pointing to the car he rented off to the left hand side.

Brenda smiled and followed him.

"This is Donna Martin…here with you for another hour. Taking requests and listening to your problems. I will be taking calls shortly but here is a little something to get you through the mid day." Donna switched on the song and waved to David to come in as she saw him outside the booth.

Donna moved the headphones to her neck, "Hey, you aren't on for another hour…how are you?"

David took a seat beside her, "Good, I just came to talk to Howard." David smiled as he looked at Donna. "You're doing really good, I have been listening all day."

Donna looked down feeling his stare, "Thanks, you should stick around, you can be on with me." Donna lifted her eyebrows.

David laughed, "Sure, like old times."

"Yeah…I guess it is." Donna looked away from his stare and handed him a pair of headphones.

"It's nice being able to talk to you, and that things are okay between us." David took the headphones and looked down.

"Yeah…it is." Donna gave him a sweet smile, "I miss you." Donna smile faded looking at him again.

David eyed her as the song was coming to an end. "I miss you too." David admitted as they finished the show together.

Brenda and Dylan walked down the Jersey Shore. They had driven down to Ocean Grove and decided to walk down the pier.

"It's nice down here. Is this where you came with Toni?" Brenda subtly rolled her eyes not looking at him.

"No…not exactly but I thought about you when we came down here, I wanted to bring you here as soon as I saw it." Dylan looked down as he stuck his hands in pockets.

"I have been thinking a lot about when we went to Europe, I miss it. It was so amazing there." Brenda said looking down the pier.

"Yeah Europe has sort of a timeless quality to it."

"Yeah…I know what you mean, I get really caught up in the old world mystique, it really sort of takes you over. It's hard to forget."

"Yeah I got the feeling that when we were walking around all those old villages that every stone we stepped on could have been stepped on by Rimbaud or Baudelaire…they were bums too you know. They know you have to live it before you can write about it."

Brenda smiled as she looked down, "You're the only guy I know that knows who Rimbaud or Baudelaire are."

"Who?" Dylan joked.

Brenda laughed, "Well I loved Paris and going the second time with you…someone I loved was incredible." Brenda eyed him and smiled.

"Definitely. Best trip I have ever been on, remember trying to find Balzac's house?" Dylan smirked.

"How could I forget, we had been going the wrong way for hours, arguing over my map." Brenda laughed fondly remembering, "We were both wrong."

Dylan and Brenda came to the end of the pier. Dylan rested his arms over the railing and looked over at her.

"You know, I really miss you Dylan. I know we live together but its been a rough time recently. Being with you here, reminds me of the easier days." Brenda looked over at him, her hair blowing with the wind.

"I really miss you too Bren."

The two looked out into the Atlantic and stood quietly.

After a few minutes Dylan spoke up, "Well this is it, should we keep walking?"

"What, right off the pier?" Brenda kept looking out.

"Well…maybe."

"What's the alternatives?" Brenda looked over at him.

Dylan took a deep breath and turned around, "I'm thinking." he clapped his hands together rubbing them together as he looked around.

A man yelling something brought their attention to him as he caught a fish. Brenda smiled looking at him excitedly reel his fishing line in. "Woah look out now." Dylan said as he smiled as he watched the man bring the fish to the ground.

"So…what do you think?" Brenda said leaning closer to him with a smile.

"Go fish?"

"Yeah." Brenda nodded turning toward the stand where they could rent some gear.

"I think this was a good idea to blow off school and stay in bed all day." Kelly said as she cuddled closer to Brandon.

"I told you." Brandon said as he embraced her tightly.

"It's going to be weird without you for Christmas, I wonder if Brenda and Dylan will let me do something with them." Kelly said thinking.

"I'm sure it will be fine, my parents are going to be there, what's one more?"

"I'm excited to see her, I should pick up something for the baby…like a Christmas Present." Kelly leaned up and faced Brandon, taking the covers with her so she was covered.

Valerie moved quickly through the bathroom and into Brandon's room. Kelly jumped making sure she was covered fully, "God Valerie can't you knock?" Kelly said rolling her eyes.

Valerie moved turning on Brandon's stereo, "Listen to this."

Brandon sat up in bed and tried to hear what was happening, "So its Donna and David."

Valerie huffed and puffed, "Why are they on together?"

Kelly tried to hold back her smile, "They sound great."

Valerie gave her a dirty look, "Don't you guys get out of bed, Ever?" Valerie said rudely. "I know they sound great but what does it mean?"

"It means nothing, they were always more of a team in high school, maybe they will start doing it together again." Brandon said nonchalantly.

Valerie sighed and looked at the radio. She was really starting to like David and they hadn't even slept together yet. She for once was trying to take things slow even though she would sleep with him if he had tried. She couldn't help but feel a bit sad and insecure.

"Look Val, David and Donna have a history together, if something is going to happen, you wont be able to stop it. Its just the way it goes." Kelly said honestly.

Valerie looked at Kelly ready to pounce, since Valerie was going out with David and Kelly was his step sister she had tried being nice to her. "Thanks Kel, you are so sweet sometimes." Valerie walked toward the bathroom, "Oh and nice boob." Valerie went through the door and slammed the door.

Kelly looked down and pulled the cover over her and felt her cheeks flush. Brandon smiled looking at her, "It is nice." Brandon pulled the covers out from her and lay his body againt her pushing her so her was laying on her back. He leaned down kissing her deeply going in for round two.

Dylan bend down trying to grab some bait to hook on to the line, He groaned as he slipped out of his hand and back into the bucket.

"Ahh you slippery little sucker." mumbled Dylan.

Brenda bent down, and grabbed the bait quickly, "Allow me, I am from the land of 10,000 lakes."

"That's right." Dylan said looking down at the bait.

"Ok the trick is to get the hook in and around in one clean motion." Brenda tried to hook it as the bait fell and the line dropped back sticking to Dylan's sweatshirt. "Oh." Brenda made a face, "Did I hook you?"

Dylan held out his sweatshirt, "Just my sweatshirt." he held it away from himself so her wouldn't get poked.

"Don't move." Brenda leaned close to him trying to get the hook off. Dylan looked down at her, he moved in and gently sniffed her hair. He naturally set his arm around her and pulled her closer to him.

Brenda unhooked his sweatshirt and looked up at him, "There you go."

Dylan kept close to her, "Thanks." he spoke softly.

Brenda stared into his eyes as she felt the baby move inside her. "I have seen that look before."

"It's the same one you have." Dylan said leaning even closer to her face.

"I said it was a start Dylan, what you did was wrong. I deserve better than that."

"I know…I love you Bren, I am sorry. I don't want to lose you. I want to be around, for you…for the baby."

Brenda swallowed hard as she looked into his eyes. She could always get lost in them. That was probably what got her when they first met, after the obvious attraction of course. Brenda broke the stare as she looked down.

Dylan lifted her chin gently and brought his lips to hers. He kissed her slowly closing his eyes. He tightened his grip around her waist pulling her into him with more force. Brenda kissed him back intensly. She missed him, they hadn't really been apart long or even at all but it felt like forever since they kissed that way. Intensely, roughly, letting themselves get lost in each others lips. Brenda exhaled as she pulled back.

"You're good. Bringing me here and then kissing me like that." Brenda looked down as her cheeks began to flush thinking about being alone with him.

Dylan raised his eyebrows looking at her as the reel on Brenda's pole starting to spin. "You got something Bren." Dylan grabbed the pole and handed it to her. Brenda reeled the pole in as fast as she could lifting it up to reveal a small fish. She took him off the hook and offered it to the man that was fishing several feet away from them.

"Would you like it?" Brenda said nicely offering him the fish.

"No…its too small, needs time to grow." the man said.

"Yeah he's right, throw it back Bren." Dylan said agreeing it was just a baby.

"Alright little fish be happy you're not dinner and go join your friends." Brenda threw the fish back into the water and wiped her hands on her jeans.

"Are you ready, we have to return the car and meet your parents for dinner." Dylan said looking at her.

"Yeah, this was a great idea, a great day."

"It's too bad we can't spend our whole lives fishing." Dylan said sticking his hands in his pockets.

Brenda took a deep breath, "Dylan…I think I want to move home."

Dylan tilted his head to the side, "Really? You don't like New York?"

"No I do and if things were different I probably wouldn't but there is going to be a time when I wont be able to fly anymore and I was thinking about seeing if maybe after Christmas and after the play maybe I can finish the year out in California."

Dylan nodded, "If that's what you want to do." Dylan looked down sadly, "What about me?"

"Well…I thought you would come with me. We could live together, in your house…I mean if you wanted too." Brenda looked down maybe jumping the gun.

Dylan turned to face her, "You mean that?"

Brenda nodded her head and smiled at him, "Let's go home." Brenda said softly.

Dylan tilted his head and leaned in giving her a gentle peck, "Yeah." he breathed out wrapping his arm around her and leading her back to the car.
