Unlikely Partners 1
I do not own Gossip Girl or it's characters
Welcome home.
It had been three weeks since Chuck Bass had left her waiting and Blair Waldorf was officially depressed. She couldn't believe she had been abandoned again. She had gone to France after Chuck ditched her at the airport. She found out afterwards that he had gone to Tahiti with some nameless bimbo. She apparently didn't even merit a phone call from Chuck. She should have known better than to think he had changed.
"How come people keep doing this to me? Why can't I find a decent guy who won't cheat on me." She thought to herself.
Just as she was rounding the corner in central park, she bumped into someone who was clearly as surprised as she was.
"Humphrey?"
"Waldorf? What are you doing here?"
"Nice to see you too cabbage patch. Don't I even get a hello?" Blair says sarcastically.
Dan rolls his eyes and gives her an exaggerated smile.
"Why hello Blair, what brings you into the city today. "
Blair gives him the first genuine smile she has had in weeks. She forgot how much fun annoying Dan Humphrey truly was.
"Hello to you too Daniel. I'm here to help out with the Children's Hospital music festival."She says with a smile.
"You're here for that too. Why? You don't need to do any charity work."
Blair sighs.
"Contrary to popular belief having a respected last name doesn't automatically get you into the ivy's."
She put's a hand on her hip and says, " So, what are you doing here?"
He looks at her and smirks.
"Well, contrary to popular belief having an unknown name doesn't get you into the ivy's." He deadpans in a higher voice.
Blair can't help the smile that breaks out on her face.
"Humphrey, I do not sound like that. If you ever use that voice again prepare for some consequences."
"What are you going to do to me Blair. Send me to boot camp?"
After his comment both of them start laughing. Soon after Georgina's encounter with Blair, someone leaked it to Gossip Girl that she was going to boot camp. This, of course, made Georgina the laughing stock of the Upper East Side. Later on, Dan couldn't help the smile on his face when he saw Georgina's bootcamp picture on Gossip Girl.
Both of them were finally calming down when the charity director called everyone to attention
"Alright everyone, I'd like to personally thank you for coming here and volunteering your time. We have a long hard week ahead of us, so let's get started. First of all I need you to pair up and give each other your numbers. We'll be working in teams handing out flyers all over the city. After getting the word out tomorrow, we'll meet back up here on Wednesday to help set up the stage and make final preparations for the festival."
Dan and Blair look around and they realized they didn't know anyone there except each other. They looked at each other and Blair sighed.
"Well,cabbage patch, it looks like we're partners again."
Dan rolls his eyes, "Considering our last partnership endeavor, I don't think it will be that bad Waldorf."
She grins, "Of course not. With me leading this team there's no doubt we'll be successful."
"Oh the joy, I finally get to be Blair Waldorf's lackey. I just can't wait."
"I know you can't Humphrey. Being my servant suits you."
"Blair I don't think you get the concept of sarcasm. You see, my previous statement," he pauses, "it was a lie."
"Oh Daniel, I know how you secretly want to be in my service and now is your chance."
Dan looks at her smug face when an evil thought crosses his mind.
"Blair, I can't service you here. There are women and children around and I am not an exhibitionist." He says a little loudly before walking off.
Blair becomes embarrassed and flushed. She looks at his retreating back and notices everyone staring at her. She's too flustered to come up with a comeback so she just walks away in the other direction. "Touche Humphrey." she mumbles to herself as she walks to her house.
Little did they know their banter was being observed by most of the volunteers around them. Most of the older gave each other knowing glances. Young love was just fun to watch no matter how old you were most of the senior volunteers thought to themselves.
As she gets off the elevator she realizes something, she hadn't thought of Chuck once since talking to Dan. Maybe working with Daniel was a blessing in disguise.
I'm sorry if this isn't polished. I haven't written in a while and I'm a little rusty. Also I don't have a beta and I suck. Hopefully, this didn't destroy your Dan/blair appetite. Thanks for reading and please review. I like reviews good or bad.
