Green With Envy

By: Nellbell222

Serena was not one to be jealous. At all. She got whatever she wanted, whoever she wanted and that was just how life went for her. For twenty three years. That was until she went to pick up her best friend and love of her life from the airport.

Dan and Blair had been on a two month trip, touring France and Italy and even some of England. They however skipped Monaco for obvious reasons. Blair had told Serena over the phone in Paris, while shushing Dan that she was very excited to be on this trip with her new guy best friend. And Serena was ecstatic for them until she became lonely in the city by herself. When Dan had sent pictures of Blair and him on top of the Eiffel Tower with their arms wrapped around each other; she actually felt bad for herself because Serena had declined the invitation to go with them that Blair extended to her.

And it only got worse when she got voicemail messages like, "Blair and Dan are in Rome and can't be bothered with your call. Leave a message." But Serena was determined to put on a happy face and not act jealous of their trip, however hard it may be. So she sat with a sign that screamed 'Welcome Home Blair and Dan!' and thought exactly what she was going to say to Dan.

In the car ride to the airport, she had realized that she missed Dan more than Blair. That she still might love Dan and might still want to be with him. So, when they came to the lobby, she was going to tell Dan that she wanted to be with him forever. And not be a free bird.

She watched the floods of people increasing and then saw her two best friends at the top of the escalator. She held up the sign but they weren't looking at her or even for her. The two were talking animatedly to each other and laughing. Serena even saw Blair wipe a tear away. Finally, Dan spotted Serena and Serena's now stupid feeling sign and he waved to her. They ran down the rest of the stairs and Blair enveloped Serena in a huge hug.

"S! Oh my god! We have so much to tell you! I missed you so much! God, you should have come! England was alright, France was wonderful and Italy was AMAZING! Serena, it was just magical there. Daniel, tell her how great the trip was."

Dan looked into Serena's eyes and Serena felt her heart surge but when she looked deeper into his eyes, she saw that they were not filled with any love or lust but pure excitement from the high of his trip. "Serena, it was the greatest trip of my life. Of Blair's too. The people were the greatest and it was the best places to go in the world. Did Blair tell you that we almost extended the trip for another month? We were this close, "he indicated a minute amount with his thumb and pointer finger, "to just staying in Italy forever." Blair was watching Dan intently, with her mouth curved in the most genuine smile Serena had ever seen on her.

"That's great guys! You need to tell me all about it. Let's go out to lunch?" Blair nodded but oddly looked for Dan for confirmation.

"I'm in but if Dan…" Serena raised her eyebrow at Blair's statement. When did she ever care about Dan Humphrey's approval?

"Definitely! We just need to pick up our suitcases at the drop off point. I told Blair that she should have sent some home like she did with the clothes we got in Milan but she only sent one."

"Humphrey! I was being culturally diverse! I was too busy to send clothes home. Let me go ask where they are. Stay here." Blair touched Dan's arm lightly as she left and Serena felt like someone punched her in the stomach. When did Blair and Dan become so touchy feely?

Serena tried to open her mouth to say that she loved Dan but she couldn't get over something else first. "Dan, how did you pay for all of this?"

When Dan laughed, she suddenly felt like a child. "I accepted your mother's trust fund finally. Blair really wanted me to come and I just couldn't say no. So, I asked your mother if the offer still stood for the trust fund and she said absolutely yes. So, now, I guess I am almost one hundred percent Upper East Side now."

Serena laughed but she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Dan gave up all of his morals to go on a trip with Blair? He finally took the millions that her mother had been shoving on him from the start? She was about to tell him what she wanted to say since early this morning but Blair chose that moment to strut on over with gorgeous shoes that made Serena seethe.

"They are already on the way home. So, we are all set. We should go to somewhere light. Dan and I ate a ton of Italian candy on the plane ride." Serena nodded but felt her stomach protest. And then Serena noticed something about what Blair was wearing.

"Blair, are those jean shorts you are wearing?" Blair smiled.

"Yeah, I got them from Giorgio Armani himself. He said at the fashion show that I have the greatest legs for them. I mean, not even I, dictator of taste, could argue with God. And Dan also forced me into them with bribery. But now that I have them on, I kind of like them…not that I will ever wear them again!" Dan smirked when Blair said 'dictator of taste' and Serena sensed that it was an inside joke.

Soon, the threesome made their way to Athena Lee, a brand new café on the Upper East Side. And Serena prepared herself to hear all about the wonderful, amazing, fantastic trip she should have gone on. And she did.

The two pals talked about regular thing such as shopping in Milan, Dan's writing which he promised his boss at Vanity Fair that he would do, Paris's landmarks that Blair never got tired of seeing, the local bars Dan coursed Blair into going to and the food of all three countries; Blair raved about Italy more than her beloved France. But they also talked about more intimate things like the Fourth of July at Blair's dad's house where Dan and Roman beat Blair and Howard at horseshoe; driving from London in a tiny car and stopping at all of the big cities until they realized that they had crossed over into Ireland illegally; skinny dipping in the Mediterranean Sea at midnight; and when Dan proposed to Blair so they could get free dessert at an overly expensive restaurant, even for Blair.

Serena watched them rehash their almost romantic trip and saw how at east they were with each other. She watched how Blair touched Dan's shoulder as he talked about his favorite writing piece he did and the way Dan grabbed Blair's waist to pull her out of the way as some man came speeding around the corner.

"S, you have to go with us next time."

"Next time? When are you guys going back?" Blair and Dan looked at each other and then back at her. Blair spoke first.

"Dan's boss loved the writing he did while in Italy so we are going back in two months. I am going to be in the Italian Vogue offices. S, you don't have a job so you can just come with us! We are going to be there for four months with one month in France. You have to come! I don't know if I can be that far away from you for that long. We aren't going to be coming back for the holidays."

Serena was flabbergasted. How in the hell did this happen? Dan and Blair were going to be leaving the Upper East again in just two months. And not coming back for another four. They weren't going to be back for the holidays. She looked to Dan for any sign that he didn't want to leave her or that he might still have any type of feeling towards her but came up with nothing. It was heartbreaking and it left Serena feeling…jealous.

Her eyes narrowed at Blair unconsciously and she wanted to scream at Blair for taking her Dan. But she guessed by the way he looked at Blair; he was Blair's Dan now.

And Serena hated that.
