Gossip Girl

Dan had the perfect evening planned for his date with Serena. They were going to go out to dinner, nowhere to fancy but still nice, and then take a carriage around Central Park. Serena had seemed to be having a rough couple of days, so he wanted to try and help cheer her up.

"You look great." Dan said as he picked Serena up from her hotel room.

Serena smiled back, thanked him, picked up her purse, then walked out the door.

"Where are we going?" she asked. Serena never knew where she was going on her dates with Dan and she usually thought it was cute how he didn't tell her, but not tonight.

"I was thinking dinner then something special," Dan said as they waited for the elevator.

"Oh,"

Oh... oh was all he got. Now Dan knew something was off.

"Is there anywhere you want to go? Because we can change the plans easy if there is."

"Actually there is. There's this club that I really want to go to. Is that alright?" Serena asked.

A club, this should be fun, but Dan agreed.

The club was exactly how Dan had pictured it. Packed to the rim with people, drinks everywhere,, and music blaring. It seemed like a great place to let loose.

Dan immediately grabbed a hold of Serena's hand to make sure that she didn't get separated from him in the crowd.

"Do want anything from the bar?" Serena asked Dan when they got across the room.

"No thanks... hey are you okay?" Dan asked Serena who looked even more tense than she did when he picked her up.

"Yea I'm fine. I'll be right back." She said with a sweet smile.

Serena came back with a coke for Dan and a martini for herself.

"Just in case you get thirsty," She said with a sweet smile.

"Thanks." Dan said back. He was falling head over heels for this girl. Everything about her was perfect.

Serena finished her drink, actually pretty quickly, Dan thought.

"Come on lets go dance." She said pulling his hand.

"Okay." Dan said as he let Serena pull him on to the dance floor.

They danced for about an hour before both of them needed to cool down. Serena got the drinks again, getting herself another martini and getting Dan some water like he wanted. Dan could tell that something was bothering Serena but he didn't want to pressure her into telling him. If she wanted him to know she would tell him herself.

After dancing for another hour, Dan excused himself to go to the restroom.

When he returned, he saw Serena almost laying down in her chair. He walked over with a seriously confused look on his face. Then his eyes wondered to the table top where there laid what looked like 10 or 15 shot classes.

"Holy Crap!" Dan exclaimed wide eyed and rushed over to Serena.

"SERENA! SERENA WAKE UP!" He said shaking her and splashing her face with a little of the water from his glass.

"Huh?... tired." This was all get got out Serena before she closed her eyes again.

Dan immediately picked up his cell phone and called the last person in the world he ever thought he'd be calling in an emergency, Blair. Dan had no clue what to do, Serena was completely drunk. She was past the whole acting crazy stage, which he was able to deal with, and into the drunken stupor stage, he knew she couldn't walk on her own even if you dangled a Tiffany's necklace in front of her face.

"Hey S..." Blair said from the other side of the phone.

"Actually it's Dan. Listen Serena's really really drunk."

"Okay... put her in a cab and take her home." Blair answered sounding a little ticked off that he called her, but kinda confused at the same time. She knew for a fact that Serena hadn't been drunk since she came home, why the change now.

"I was going to do that." Dan said sounding a little pissed off, "But her mother would freak out and she's so drunk it would be a miracle if she could stand."

"Why in the world did you let her drink so much!!" Blair demanded. She seriously thought Dan was more responsible.

"I didn't... I went to the bathroom and she had swollen 10 shots while I was gone plus the three martinis she had when I was with her. Look are you going to help me out or not? I know your mother is out of town so it will just be us and she can recuperate without her mom knowing, or I can take her over to my house or home but either way she and I going to have to deal with her mother." Dan explained getting very short tempered.

"Fine... can you at least get her here? I am in no shape to go out in public in what I am wearing," he heard Blair say.

"Actually..." Dan began.

"Your already on your way over here aren't you?" Blair snapped.

"Kinda yea..." Dan replied.

"Grrr fine! Have them buzz me when you get here and I'll let you up. Oh and Dan be careful with her. We don't want her falling face first on her ass or you letting her run into the door or something like that. It would could ruin her image." Blair said.

The next thing Dan heard was the dial tone. He had to roll his eyes at the last thing that Blair had said because only Blair would actually say something like that.

Less than ten minutes later Blair heard the buzz. She turned towards to see when the elevator door opened and less than three minutes later Dan walked in with a completely asleep or maybe passed out, Blair couldn't tell, Serena in his arms.

"Wow! You weren't joking." Blair gasped still in shock. She couldn't believe that Serena would get this wasted. She only did this when something was really bothering her or she got into a huge fight with her mother.

"No I wasn't." Dan said wondering when Blair was going to tell him where to put her. He'd never been in Blair's house before.

"Upstairs fourth room on the right." Blair motioned as she walked up the stair case behind him.

Dan walked into Blair's room and it was almost exactly how he had saw it in his head. Everything in there had its own perfect place and nothing was out of order. He began to place her on the bed when he heard Blair squeal.

"I don't think so... if she pukes she's not doing it on my bed!" Blair snapped. "Put her in there then grabbed a pillow out of the hall closet."

Dan did as he was told, he didn't feel like arguing with Blair right now.

Blair immediately went over to Serena and made she was as comfortable as she possibly could be when your laying on a cold hard marble floor. When Dan returned with the pillow, Blair handed him a list.

"Run down to the store and get this stuff." Blair demanded.

"Who does she think I am one of her slaves?" Dan thought, but took the list anyway. He was willing to help Serena in any way possible even if that did mean letting Blair bark out orders to him.

Being in Blair's bathroom in the middle of the night wasn't anything uncommon, or at least it used to not be, for both S and B. Blair remembered those days well. Sure, Serena could hold her liquor and act like herself for a while, actually longer than most of their friends, but like everyone else she had that certain point where the she would lose composure. Blair had seen it happen many times before Serena went away to boarding school, and had been with her through the horrid hangovers that followed, but Blair knew that Serena would do the same thing for her and had on some occasions. But Serena was well Serena and she was always able to just bounce right back and be back to normal, if you don't count the minor headache, the next day, unlike Blair who thought she was dying for about 24 hours. But this time was different, Blair couldn't truly pin point what it was, it was almost like Serena was letting herself slowly sink away.

Blair hated seeing her best friend like this. Serena looked like death had rolled over her, which seems pretty impossible when your Serena van der Woodsen. Her eyes were puffy and red, her face so pale it almost looked greenish, and her hair was plastered to her head.

Blair suddenly heard a soft knock on the bathroom door. Serena had finally fallen asleep and she didn't want any noise to wake her up. Then it clicked, Dan, she had totally forgotten that he was even here. She scooted across the floor and slowly opened the door. She looked up at Dan, who looked just as worried, if not more, about Serena than she did.

"I got the stuff you needed. You might want to call her mom and tell her that she'll be sleeping over here so she doesn't freak out." Dan said as he walked into the room.

"That's a good idea." Blair thought to herself, but all her did was nod.

"I'll watch her while you're gone."

Again Blair nodded and started to leave the bathroom when she heard Dan say "Hey Blair, thanks again."

"She's my best friend it's kinda in the job description." Blair said back.

Dan took that for a "you're welcome" in Blair terms.

Then he turned back around and looked at his girlfriend. He still couldn't believe how fast their night had went from great to horrible and couldn't figure out why Serena wasn't telling him what was wrong. She had been secretive all night, and wasn't acting like her happy usual self.
