AN: This is a new fic. Had this idea for awhile and I finally got around to writing it lol. Hope you all like and review =)


She tore open the shades and let the light fill the room. She still had the sheet from the bed wrapped around her. She slowly let it slide down as she grabbed clothes from the draw. She quickly threw on her skinny jeans and her silver top. As she was putting her earrings in Dan walked in.

"Morning beautiful."

"Morning. That was some night last night."

"Yes, yes it was. I went to go get coffee but then my parents called."

"What did they want?"

"For us to have dinner."

"Last time we were suppose to have dinner they canceled."

"Well, my parents haven't seen eye to eye since my dad remarried."

"Just tell me when and where."

"I'll call you with the details when they stop fighting long enough to decide. I should head to work."

"Bye Babe."

Dan kissed her forehead as she continued to put makeup on. She slowly led the brush against her cheek. She threw her hair up in a ponytail and grabbed her bag.

"Serena!"

"What?"

"It's an emergency."

"Isn't it always with you?"

"Shut it!. We're having a girls night out and I can't seem to find the perfect outfit."

"Pick something. I have a call, I'll be up in a second."

Serena searched through her bag to find her phone. She grabbed it and flipped it open quick.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Serena, it's Rufus."

"How are you?"

"Good, just calling to confirm for tonight."

"Yes we're on for tonight, but I'm bringing Blair so make room for one more."

"The family plus Blair?"

"Yea she doesn't know yet, but since her parents are away, I thought I'd let her be with ours."

"Okay sounds good. Be there 7 sharp."

Serena hung up the phone and slowly creeped up the steps.

"Blair, I'm coming up."

"I think I have the perfect dress."

"You look nice."

"Well, it's been two years since either I had a long relationship, I wanna turn heads."

"About that. We're having dinner with the Humphreys."

"Don't make me gag."

"B, I promised."

"Why don't you just tie me to a truck and have me slide down the road."

Serena pouted for 10 minutes straight. Blair was reluctant to give in. She just rolled her eyes and looked at the mirror. Serena got on her knees and begged. She tugged at Blair's skirt like a five year old. After and hour of pleading, demanding, and yelling, Blair agreed.

Blair and Serena made their way into the restaurant and everyone was there except for Dan.

"Humphrey, gets to bail and I'm forced to stay?"

"He'll be here."

Just as the words left his lips Dan walked in. He handed his jacket to the waiter and fixed his shirt. Serena's eyes locked directly on him. Her lips parted and her eyes widened. She suddenly felt her stomach doing flips, but then again she always felt this way around Dan. A tall brunette followed in after him. She had medium length hair and clearly didn't dress like a fashionista. Serena then sunk into her chair.

"Wow, I didn't think everyone would be here."

"They're your family Dan."

"But this was a personal dinner. Not really for the Van der Woodsen's."

"Clearly we've upset him. Rufus we'll leave."

"No, we're all staying."

"Fine. Everyone this is my girlfriend Tiffany."

"I've heard so much about all of you." Tiffany felt terribly out of place.

Dan gave an uncomfortable grin and pulled out her chair. Tiffany put the napkin over her lap and held on to the ends for dear life. Rufus made so small talk to make Tiffany comfortable. He asked about her parents and where she grew up. She grew up in northern New York and her mom was a lawyer while her dad owned a PR firm. She had been working for her had once she got out of college. She met Dan at NYU and introduced he to a bunch of writers. She got him a job as an editor in a small office. Dan was always grateful to her.

"How did you two meet." Serena interjected.

"We had a class together at NYU. The teacher assigned us as partner."

"How charming." Blair played with her salad.

"We worked on the project and got to know each other."

"So glad I took that class. Excuse me for a moment." Dan got up and headed towards the waiter. He whispered something in his year and the waiter handed him a box. Blair whispered to Serena to get up and go talk to Dan.

"Tiffany seems....great."

"Yea. I really love her."

"So, it's been awhile since we've seen each other."

"Two years, I think."

"You've been counting."

"You always bailed on family stuff and you disappeared once you hit college."

"I tried to find myself. You know, the new Serena."

"I always liked the old Serena, the one who changed my life."

"Dan, I..." Serena couldn't finish her thought because Erik came up and dragged her away.

Dan and Serena rejoined them at the table. Tiffany whispered in Dan's ear to ask him what was wrong. Hw shook his head and jumped back into the conversation. They continued with dinner and Lily told stories and her and Rufus traveling Europe and Jenny wishing she could be here but she was studying fashion in Milan. Jenny was the only one who really met Tiffany. Dan cared more about Jenny's opinion than Rufus'.

"Well as fun as this has been I think Lily and I should go, let you kids catch up."

"Do you mind giving me a ride home, Johnaton is working tonight." Erik questioned.

With a few smiles and hugs, Rufus, Lily, Alison, and Erik were gone. It was just Blair, Serena, Dan and Tiffany left. There was a few moments of awkward silence before Blair butted in.

"We really should leave you two alone. We don't want to be third wheels in this."

"It was nice meeting you."

"I'll walk you guys out." Dan got up and pushed in his chair.

He walked Blair and Serena outside and waited for their car to come. He gave Blair a smile and hugged Serena. It was almost if neither of them wanted to let go. He finally released he grip from Serena and walked back inside. He took the box out of his pocket and went to Tiffany. He got down on one knee and surprised her.

"I wanted to do this infront of my mom and dad, but there were more guests then needed. I am so in love with you. I can't imangine not waking up every morning to your face. I guess what I'm trying to say is, will you make me happy and marry me?"

"Oh, Dan. Of course I will."

Just as they started to kiss, Serena walked back in. In between their love fest was her purse. All she could think to herself was, shit what do I do now? She tapped a waiter on the shoulder and made him get it. Dan peered towards Serena and his face dropped just like her heart.
