This is a continuation after episode 4. Just a reminder, this is how I would like the show to be acted out. Anything I write will probably not happen, so if you don't like it, don't worry it's just for entertainment.

Morning Upper East Siders,

Gossip Girl

Serena woke up the next morning with a smile on her face. She looked outside to see children playing in the leaves, and she heard birds chirping on the tops of trees. Everything had turned out for the best. Her best friend and her had worked past their issues finally and they could finally go back to normal. And Dan, the boy she cared about most in her life, perhaps after her little brother Eric had finally asked her out and they were finally going to have their first official date. Serena was excited and couldn't wait for her date to start. She was meeting Blair first for breakfast. She took a look at her clock and hoped out of bed. She ran a brush threw her hair, got dressed and headed off to Blair's.

Dan had woken up with a smile on his face. Of course he hadn't gotten as much sleep as Serena. Actually, he had only gotten two hours worth of rest. He could not sleep, no matter how much he tried. He had asked a girl out and she had said yes. This was very rare for Dan. He had never really dated anyone, and didn't really have any friends. And we're not talking just some average girl here; we're talking about Serena Van Der Woodsen, the hottest girl in all of New York City. He wanted everything to be perfect. He didn't know what she would expect. Luckily, he had his younger sister Jenny there to help him. He walked into her room, and sat on her bed.

"Okay, here's the thing." Dan said as he put his hands together and aimed them at Jenny, "I have no clue where to take Serena on our date. And I think it's kind of important where we go."

"No duh it's important. The place you take her means something." Jenny told her brother, while he had a very confused look on his face, "It means what you want your relationship to be."

"Right…" Dan agreed but had no clue what Jenny was getting at.

"Okay." Jenny said getting off her bed and paced around the room, "What do you want your relationship with Serena to be with? Physical?

"Physical?" Dan interrupted.

"Oh come on, it hasn't passed your mind that you may loose your virginity tonight?" Jenny glared at him.

Dan looked down. Knowing you hadn't lost your virginity hurt, but then having your sister dictate that to you, kind of embarrassing. "Well…actually no."

Jenny looked stunned, "Really?"

"Yeah. So to answer your question. No, I don't want it to be physical. Well it could, but not now, maybe later on… I want it to be a romantic relationship."

"What the hell does that even mean?"

"I want her to be able to come with me with anything and tell me. No matter what she has done, or who she has hurt. I want her to be the one standing next to me in any situation."

"Alright you want a loving relationship." Jenny said with emphasis on the word loving.

Dan laughed, and started playing with his thumbs. Jenny slapped his hands down and told him to pay attention to her, "Now. You should take her to a fancy restaurant, and sweep her off her feet."

"I was thinking bowling?"

"BOWLING?" Jenny shrieked, "I think Serena's got a lot more class then that, and that's why too friendly like and BORING!"

Dan looked down, he definitely didn't want to give Serena the impression that he just wanted to be friends, because he didn't.

"You have to take her to a hotel for dinner and dancing."

"What about using my talents to sweep her off her feet."

"You have talents?" Jenny joked.

Dan faked smiled and said, "What if I take her to go play pool at the nearby bar that just opened last month."

Jenny thought about that for a minute, "You know, you could be onto something bro."

Dan smirked, and Jenny left her room. She came back a couple of minutes later with Dan's clothes and spread them on the bed. "Let's get you an outfit."

Serena rang Blair's doorbell. Her maid came to open the door and let her in. Serena walked in and waiting in the living room. Blair came running down the stairs in her pyjamas and met Serena in the living room. She gave her a hug and sat down next to her. Nate and Chuck were on their way, and Blair had a whole day planned for the four of them. "Now, we got lots of things to do today, so I hope you brought comfortable shoes cause we're gonna be walking all day long. Serena was overwhelmed with joy that Blair had been so excited to see her that she completely forgot what was happening that day.

"What do you mean all day?"

"Well today is my annual sleepover party?" Blair reassured her, "Don't you remember?"

Serena had been gone for so long that she had completely forgotten about it. Blair's sleepover party was another big event in the city. Everyone knew about it, and those people who weren't invited wished that they were. Serena didn't know how to break it to Blair that she couldn't go, but decided to wait until later when Nate was there. The doorbell rang and Blair hoped up and ran to go get it. Serena followed her and watched jump into Nate's arms. He had never seen Blair so happy before, but personally he liked it better. Once he saw Serena though, he looked down. She invited the boys in and they waited for her to go get her dressed. Nate looked at Serena. She was so beautiful that he couldn't look away. He loved her, and he probably always would, but he loved Blair too. And it was really difficult for him especially since they were friends again and Nate was seeing a lot more of Serena. Blair came back and grabbed Nate and headed out the door. Chuck went to go put his hand around Serena and escort her out, but Serena pushed him off. She hadn't forgotten what Chuck had done to her and Dan's sister Jenny. He wasn't a good guy. She followed Nate and Blair to the limo, and left Chuck standing by himself. Chuck knew he hurt her, but he was willing to change.

Hours before their date, Dan was in a flower shop picking out flowers for Serena for their big date when his phone started ringing. He picked it up.

"Hello?" Dan said.

"Dan?" Serena asked.

Dan stumbled and nearly knocked over a vase of flowers when he heard her angel like voice. "S-S-Serena." He said with a smile, "Hey."

"Hi." He could hear her giggling. "Ummm. I need to talk to you."

"Uh Oh." Dan said, "Why don't I like the sound of that?"

"Well. Blair and I kind of have this thing tonight, and I completely forgot."

"You're cancelling our date?"

"No … I wouldn't say that. I'm just going to be a little late."

Dan exhaled into the phone and Serena heard his disappointment, "I'm sorry, really. I want to be there with you, it's just… Blair and I are finally friends again, and I don't want to mess it up."

"Right…" Dan said into the phone, "Call me when you're done."

Serena smiled, "Thanks for understanding. You're the best. Bye."

"Take care."

Dan closed the phone, and put the flowers that he was looking at, back into the water he found them in. He called the restaurant he had made reservations for and cancelled his table. He walked away with his head down.

Serena joined Blair back in the store. She was trying on a black low cut dress for the party. She was spinning around looking at herself in the mirror. Nate and Chuck were looking at her from behind. Nate got up and told her she looked beautiful and kissed her. Blair saw Serena come back into the store and called her over. Serena came, and Blair asked her how she liked the dress on her.

"You look amazing B." Serena said with a smile.

Blair turned to around to see herself in the mirror again. "I think I'm going to get it."

Dan slammed the door behind him when he entered the Humphrey apartment. Jenny jumped and went to go see what was going on. Dan looked furious and sat stubbornly on the couch. Jenny sat next to him and asked him what was wrong.

"What wrong?" Dan asked, "Serena delayed the date…again. She has something with Blair."

"Why are you getting mad at her? Her and Blair have been friends for the longest time."

"Still… I feel like the third wheel." Dan said.

"Tell her that."

"I can't, because then it looks like I'm needy."

"Don't give up hope just yet." Jenny told him, "She'll realize what she's missing bro."

"Thanks Jen." Dan replied and then took a look at her outfit, "Why are you all dressed up?"

"I'm going out…" Jenny grinned.

"Oh yeah?" Dan asked, "With whom?"

"Eric…" Jenny said with a smile, "And that's not weird that the two Humphrey's and the two Van Der Wooden's are dating ish."

Dan smiled. He liked Eric, he was a good kid. He knew how to treat a girl and Dan was happy that he was going out with his little sister. She had to get over this issue with Chuck and a night out with Eric seemed appropriate. Jenny got up and checked her hair in the mirror and left. Dan turned on the TV, put his legs up on the table and kicked back and watched some cartoons. Jenny came back in, and told Dan that he should call Serena in about an hour. Dan nodded and Jenny closed the door.

Blair, Serena, Nate and Chuck had gone back to Blair's house and we're putting out all the drinks and making room for people to dance. Serena was exhausted, and was trying best as possible to tell Blair about her date, but there was never a good time. Blair came in with the bartender and showed him where all the boos were. Blair saw Serena a little upset so decided to go comfort her. She sat down next to her and asked her what was wrong.

"Blair, I can't stay tonight."

"What?" Blair asked, "Why?"

"Because I have a date with Dan."

"A Date?" Blair said, "You're missing my party for a date? What about hoes over bros?"

"Blair, you're still my hoe, but… I really like this guy, and we've been saying for about a week to go out and we never did."

Serena's cell phone went off and she picked it up.

"Hello?" Serena said into the phone.

"Hey it's Dan."

"Hey you." Serena said, "What's going on?"

"Well I was wondering when you were available."

"I don't think we should go out tonight."

"Let me guess… Blair?"

"Yeah… she's having this party and I kind of promised her I would go."

"That's cool. The date's off. Good night." Dan said and hung up the phone.

There was a tear in Serena's eye. Blair came back with drinks, "Serena." Blair said, "I don't want to stop you from doing whatever you want to do. Just know. You don't stay for the party, you're not part of the group." She got up and left.

Left all alone. S sitting at what would be one of the hottest parties of the century alone. Did Dan think that S and B's friendship was more important or did Dan think that S was just trying to find a way out of the date? Does B think that blackmail will keep S from seeing Dan. Two important people in S's life want her in two different place at once. What will she do? Stay tuned.
