Brenda made her way up the steps of the church just as Dylan parked outside.
"Dylan!" She gasped
"Brenda!" He smiled, "Long time."
"What are you doing here?" She asked
"Nice to see you too, Bren." He chuckled
"Dylan, why are you here?" She sighed
"I was invited, Bren." He said, pushing passed her.
"Dylan." She said firmly, pulled him back, very aware of his intentions. "Brandon said you let her go."
"Brenda, I've changed. I can do better." He assured
"Oh you've changed?" She mocked, "Dylan, if that were true, you wouldn't be here..."
"Bren..." He began
"Don't do this." She interjected "Don't do this to my brother. Please, don't let another member of my family get hurt by you and Kelly."
Dylan tilted his head to one side and exhaled
"Please.. For me." She begged, "Just go... Kelly would never forgive you if you ruined her big day.."
Dylan let out a deep breath as his eyes locked onto the floor. "You're right..." He shook his head, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Bren." He hugged her, before slumping one foot in front of the other, down the steps.
"Dylan." She called, "I'm not doing this to hurt you..."
He nodded, before turning back to head to his car. Valerie got out of her car and hurried over to Brenda.
"Was that Dylan?" She asked eagerly
"Yeah..." Brenda nodded, still watching him drive off.
"I better go see him." Valerie confirmed
"Wha-? Val!" Brenda cried out
"He shouldn't be alone." Valerie said over her shoulder
"Valerie, what about the wedding?" Brenda yelled after her
"What about it?" Valerie scoffed, "Kelly hates me right now, and frankly, I don't really want to watch Brandon marry her." Valerie hit back. Before heading in her car to follow Dylan.
"You look beautiful." Brandon said, walking into one of the Church rooms.
"Brandon!" Kelly gasped, "What are you doing? You know it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding!" She hissed
"Take a walk with me..." Brandon smiled at her
"Wha-? Are you crazy?" Kelly chuckled
"Come on," Brandon continued, "Let's just take a walk."
Brandon and Kelly walked around the garden behind the church until they made their way to the nearest bench.
"Why did you forgive me for sleeping with Emily?" Brandon finally asked
"What?" Kelly asked, gobsmacked "Why are you asking me this now?"
"I just wanna know." Brandon sighed, remaining calm.
"Brandon, why are you doing this now?" Kelly's voice trembled
"I just want to know how you can forgive me, your fiancé... yet you can't forgive Dylan, who's not even your boyfriend, for sleeping with Valerie."
"...She told you." Kelly scoffed, shaking her head, "She's trying to break us up, and you! Why are you saying this? Are you... Oh my god are you trying to dump me on my wedding day?!" She glared at him, tears filled her eyes.
"Kel.. relax." Brandon held her hand, "Kelly, If this is what you want, I promise, we will walk down that aisle right now! I just have one more question..."
Kelly took a deep breath
"Do you really want to marry me?" Brandon sighed
"Yes, of course I do!" Kelly snapped
"Okay... okay." Brandon nodded
"Okay." Kelly repeated. "I just... I just need to sit down for a sec." She trembled as she reached for the bench, slowly sitting on it.
Brandon sat beside her.
"No..." She gasped.
Brandon observed her as she seemingly stared into space.
"No..." She breathed out again. "I don't."
"I agree..." He let out a deep breath of relief.
Donna, Andrea and Brenda stood in their bridesmaid positions, opposite Steve and David. All shooting discreet glances at each other and mouthing Where's Brandon?
The guests all looked around anxiously, wondering what was going on.
Just then Brandon and Kelly walked in from the backdoor, holding hands. Everyone stood up, curiously.
"Hey..." Brandon began, "First we would like to thank you all for coming... We love everyone in this room and it means a lot that you all support our happiness." He paused, glancing at Kelly, as she smiled at him, anxiously.
"But the truth is... Kelly and I gave our hearts away a long time ago." He continued, his eyes scanning the room until they met Andrea's. "And we never really got it back."
Kelly got into her car. Brandon helped her with her dress. "Hard to squash this pouffy thing inside." He joked
"Yeah." She giggled, "...I'm sorry it didn't work out." Kelly eventually said, once he had tucked her dress into the car.
"You know what I think?" He smirked at her, "Our friendship is so good that... we didn't wanna ruin it." He grinned
"Aww." She smiled sweetly at him. "I bet you're right."
"Love you." He winked at her
"Love you too." She grinned, leaning up and giving him a light, soft peck on the lips, before she drove off.
Kelly was chilling with Donna and David at home.
"Really guys, I'm okay... I'm better than okay." She smiled at them.
Donna stroked her hand, as they were interrupted by the doorbell. Kelly went to answer it.
"Brenda! Hey!" Kelly smiled
"Kelly..." Brenda walked in. Kelly's face frowned when she saw who followed her.
"What is she doing here?" Kelly retorted as Valerie joined Brenda's side.
"Kelly." Brenda said firmly, "I wasn't going to tell you but... I Saw Dylan."
"Dylan was... here?" Kelly asked
"Yeah... I sent him away, thinking you were gonna get married."
"Oh." Kelly nodded
"I went to see him." Valerie chimed in. Kelly refused to face her. "He's flying to Paris for a couple of weeks. Here." She handed her his itinerary.
"Why are you giving me this?" Kelly asked, finally facing Valerie.
"Peace offering?" Valerie smiled, and eventually Kelly responded with a polite nod.
"Are you traveling alone, Mr McKay."
"Yup." Dylan nodded, leaning on the counter at the airport.
"No." A voice called behind him. He turned to find Kelly standing before him. Stunned, his jaw dropped.
"Kel...?" His voice was barely a whisper. "What are you- What are you doing here?"
She let out a deep sigh, "...I didn't get married." She grinned
"You didn't?" Dylan almost choked on his own words, and she shook her head. "But Brandon-"
"Brandon's great." Kelly interrupted, "But I've always wanted you... You gonna stand there or are you gonna grab my bags?" She snapped her fingers and headed off.
Dylan quickly snapped to work and followed her.
"Kel." He pulled her over to him, "I can't believe this." He couldn't help but let a grin smear across his face.
"Well, believe it." She smiled sweetly at him.
As he chuckled, "Of all the airports in all the towns in all the world... She walks into mine."
"Here's lookin' at you, kid." She grinned, as he pulled her in for a passionate embrace, wrapping their arms around each other as the kiss deepened.
"I won't let you go this time." He promised
"Good.. because this is where I wanna be." She nodded, "I don't wanna mess this up again!"
"Excited?" He asked, as they sat on the plane.
"You know, I don't think I can wait till we get there..." She provoked, and he let out a smirk.
"What did you have in mind?" He asked
"Ever joined the mile high club?" She asked, getting up.
"You're in trouble now." He shook his head, letting out a chuckle, before following her to the bathroom.
"Where's ours?!" Kelly paced up and down the bridge, looking for the locket they placed on their first anniversary.
"I don't know, Kel. Just look." He groaned
"Oh my god, I found it!" She gasped, looking at it. "Dylan?" She turned around when he didn't reply and found him on one knee.
"Oh my god..." She whispered, hands covering her mouth.
"Kel..." He began, smirking, as she beamed down at him, happy tears filling her eyes as she noticed the gorgeous rock in his hand. "It's been a wild ride, but I wouldn't have it any other way." He grinned, "And I wouldn't be here if I wasn't absolutely sure, that where you belong is with me..."
She gazed at him as he paused
"Kel, you're my soulmate... you're my best friend... Marry me."
"Yes!" She gasped as he stood up, causing his grin to grow bigger. "Yes, of course!" He put the ring on her finger, as she jumped on him, wrapping her legs around his waist as he carried her.
"God, you're heavy." He joked
"Shut up!" She playfully hit him. They kissed passionately. "I love you, Dylan McKay." He kissed her again.
"I love you too... soon to be, Mrs Kelly McKay." He said between kisses.
"So..." He began, putting her back down to ground after a lot of kissing. "What to do now? When in Paris..."
"I don't know... But I do know, I'm starving." Kelly grinned
"I'm starving too." He smirked, taking her hand as they headed off the bridge. Playfully bumping into each other and giggling as they made their way through to a little narrow street.
"Dylan..." She said observing her new engagement ring, once they sat at a restaurant. "Thank you..."
"For what?" He asked
"For my happiness." She smiled at him, and he gazed into her eyes.
"Anytime, sweetheart."
