under pressure

isn't it romantic?

That night, Brandon invited Bree to go with him, Dylan, and Brenda to the movies. He said that he didn't want to be a third wheel, and he wanted to make sure that Brenda and Dylan didn't get too close. Bree stood with them at a table, getting napkins and straws.

"Dylan, is that you?" A blonde girl comes up to them, putting her hand on Dylan's arm. Bree and Brenda raise a brow, but Brenda's is more out of jealousy. Dylan looks at her, a smirk on his face.

"Hey, how have you been?" Bree could tell that he didn't even know her name. The girl opens her straw, putting it in between her teeth, before looking him up and down.

"Great." She then walks away from them, making Brandon pat him on his shoulder.

"Friend of yours?"

"Well, we used to hang out a little bit. I would've introduced you guys, but I forgot her name." He said, making Bree let out a snort.

"Real smooth."

"Hey, it's not my fault. She keeps changing it to things like 'Tanya' or 'Blue,' because her real name is something like 'Gertrude' or 'Beatrice' or... 'Brenda.'" He smirks down at her, making her punch his chest and walk away. Dylan clutches his chest, looking at the other Walshes.

"That was a mean right hook."

"Yeah, who do you think she practices on?" Brandon says, wrapping an arm around both of their shoulders, as they walk into the movie.

After the movie, Dylan invited the siblings to his house, so that they could listen to some music on the new sound system his father got him and eat dinner. Bree knew from hearing Brandon and Dylan talk, that Dylan didn't have a good relationship with his father, so she didn't want to really press about it.

"This sound system is incredible. I mean, it's like it's alive." Brenda said, bobbing her head to the music.

"You don't just hear it, you can feel it." Dylan said, making Bree nod, impressed.

"Subwoofers, right?" Dylan nods, and the bell rings at the door. He jumps up, yelling food. He goes to the door to get it, while Brenda smiles.

"Thanks for letting Bree and I tag along, Brandon." She says, as Brandon flips through the CD's.

"Well, if you play your cards right, we'll let you come with us again. What do you think, McKay?" Brenda's cheeks heat up, happy she could possibly spend more time with Dylan.

"Absolutely! It's a must," He exclaims, walking back into the room with food in his hands. "Alright, here it is. Dig in." They all grab a paper bag of food, which has fries and burgers.

"Hey, these taste exactly like the fries from the hotel." Brandon said, eating a few fries.

"'Cause they are from the hotel. Ever since Dad closed the suite, Henry sends them to me because he knows I need my fix." Brandon furrows his brows.

"He gave up the suite? What happened?"

"It's a long story," He says, brushing it off. He then taps Brenda's knee. "Hey, pick one. It's your turn." Brenda hands him one and Bree looks over Dylan's shoulder to see what it was. She quickly says no, not liking it at all. The four begin to playfully argue, making them all have a great night.

"Look, I mean, it's not like it was a date or anything. I was just tagging along. Besides, Bree was there too." Brenda said, as she explained to Kelly and Bree what her thoughts were on last night.
