After breakfast at The Peach Pit, the drive to Baja is made with music and laughter as well as moments of comfortable silence. As they get closer, Dylan glances over at Brenda, who tries unsuccessfully to hide her uneasiness. He grabs her hand and brings it to his lips, kissing her fingers before entwining their fingers together. Pulling up to the motel, Dylan jumps out and walks around to open Brenda's door. "Welcome back to Baja Bren." He grins. He leans down to give her a quick peck on the lips before grabbing their bags from the back.

After a quick hello to Rosa, the owner, they walk to the room Dylan reserved. "This place hasn't changed a bit." Brenda exclaims.

Dylan laughs. "Not even a little, but that's why I like it. Every time I come here it's almost like coming home." Brenda bites her lip but doesn't say anything. "What is it Bren?" Dylan asks concerned. "Tell me. Please."

She sighs. "It's silly."

"Bren, What is it?"

"I…..I keep thinking about who has been here with you since me." She bits her lip again before hurrying to continue, "I'm sorry, I know it's none of my business…."

Dylan interrupts, touching her chin so she is looking into his eyes, "Bren, no one has been here since you."

Brenda looks startled, "But, Kelly…."

He begins to laugh. "Brenda, first of all can you see Kelly wanting to stay in a motel with no room service in a town with no major shopping?" He sighs and sits down on the edge of the bed tugging her hand so she sits next to him. "Besides, I just couldn't do it. I couldn't share this with anyone else after our time here together. It just didn't feel right to try."

Tears roll down Brenda's cheek as she smiles at him. He wipes them away with his thumb before leaning over to kiss her softly. He reluctantly pulls away as Brenda keeps leaning towards him to keep their lips touching. Laughing, he gives her a quick peck and jumps up off the bed, once again pulling her with him. "Let's get changed and go for a walk on the beach. Okay?"

"Let's do it." Brenda responds.

Dylan and Brenda walk through the sand and begin walking down the beach at the water's edge. "This is so beautiful." Brenda says somewhat dreamily as the sky is barely beginning to turn brilliant colors, just waiting for the magical moment of sunset over the water.

"Beautiful." Dylan says softly. Brenda looks up to see that Dylan is watching her instead of the sky. He leans toward her and kisses her softly. They continue walking along the water for a few more minutes. Dylan notices Brenda is biting her lip again as they walk in silence.

"Bren? Is something wrong?"

"No, not really. I just…." She hesitates not wanting to spoil the evening.

"Tell me Bren." He asks concerned.

"It's just that I keep remembering our last trip to Baja. Not my dad and all that drama really but just this uneasy feeling that it was the beginning of the end. And, here we are in Baja again. I guess it just made me a little apprehensive. I don't really know how to explain it."

Dylan stops walking, looking around almost nervously before his eyes rest on hers. Brenda looks at him questioning.

"Brenda, I know that feeling. But, I want our trip to Baja to be the beginning of something this time." He takes a deep breath. "I think I have loved you from the first moment I saw you in the hallway at West Beverly. I never really stopped. I was just too young and stupid to admit it or to know how to handle it. No one ever made me feel the way you did, the way you do. You make my heart beat. Without you, I am nothing." He begins to get choked up and tears shine in his eyes. "I don't ever want to lose what we have again."

"Dylan…" Brenda begins as she caresses his face, her own eyes filling with tears.

"Let me finish." He says softly. "Brenda Walsh, I love you more than even the words of Byron could express." He reaches into his pocket as he kneels down in front of her. "Will you do me the honor of marrying me?" He opens a blue velvet jewelry case to reveal an antique diamond ring and watches as her tears begin to fall. "Please say yes Brenda." He whispers.

Brenda is so overwhelmed with emotion that for a brief moment she cannot speak but can only cry as she slowly nods her head yes. "Dylan, I love you so much. I have waited so long for this. Yes, I will marry you."

Dylan slides the ring on her finger and stands up, taking both her hands in his. They kiss slowly before he pulls back and smiles down at her. "I just have one more question. How do you feel about very short engagements?"

Brenda laughs. "Hhmm….well, I think that could be arranged. We can start planning the wedding as soon as we get back home." She stops short. "You already have a date in mind don't you?"

Dylan smirks, "Actually I do." He grabs her hand and they begin walking again.

"And just when is this magical day Mr. McKay?" She jokes.

"Today." Dylan says softly as her stops her forward motion.

Brenda gasps. "Dylan! Today? How can we get married today? Look, you know I love you and I can't wait to marry you, but eloping? I don't know."

"Who said anything about eloping?" Dylan grins. He grabs her hand and turns her around so she is facing away from the water.

Brenda cannot believe her eyes as she sees Iris, Erica, Brandon, Donna, Steve, David, Andrea, and even Kelly standing a few feet away. "Oh my God! I can't believe you guys are all here."

Dylan puts his arm around her shoulder as they all begin to chuckle at her reaction. "What do you say Bren? Iris and Erica picked out a dress for you so I wouldn't see it before the wedding, Donna found you a bouquet of your favorite flowers, and the minister is waiting to marry us right here on the beach at sunset."

"I really can't believe you did all this." She says overwhelmed. "I want to say yes, Dylan, but my parents…."

"….Are right here. Waiting to give you away to the man you love." Jim says softly as he and Cindy walk out from behind the group of friends.

"Daddy." Brenda sobs as Jim puts his arms around her and hugs her tightly. Jim looks over her shoulder and locks eyes with Dylan, nodding to him slightly.

"I love you Brenda. I am so sorry for everything." Jim whispers. Brenda looks up at him beaming.

"I love you too daddy."

"Well can I get in on this?" Cindy asks jokingly. Brenda turns and throws her arms around her neck. "I'm so happy for you." She tells Brenda softly.

Brenda turns back to face Dylan smiling from ear to ear as they join hands. "Let's get married."
