This is my first fanfic, I wanted to give it a shot. Please review.


It was summer. Serena was in Paris. He was in Brooklyn, alone. Who knows what Serena is doing, what if maybe she found a guy with a Vespa, started to hang out and on the Eiffel Tower they started to - 'No, stop it' Dan thought. Everything that happened in his loft and in the hospital was always on his mind. Maybe he had a chance with Serena, finally. But then if she felt the same, why did she not tell him?. It would make things a bit easier. He spent whole summer thinking about her, if he should show up in the airport once she arrived. If he should kiss her, talk to her or maybe just don't show up. Maybe it was for the best. They had a really messed up situation right now. That also involved Nate.

One summer evening He and Nate decided to not let Serena control everything once she was back. And Nate was right, if Serena did not choose first they should choose before she returned. I mean, there was a Gossip Girl poll and everything, it was ridiculous. So he decided to find a replacement / forget about Serena. Forget about how beautiful she was, how they were always so connected, and even if they were not together they found themselves again. Forget about perfection.

The first days were really hard. How do you kill a feeling? He spent his days writing in the loft, going out occasionally or in the Van Der Woodsen's. 'I'm trying to forget Serena and I come to her house, nice one Dan'. But he had to move on. He heard that Nate was seeing a girl called Juliet, Nate was doing his part of the deal. So a few weeks later he decided to get up and catch up with his college friends. One of them, James, invited him to a party, it was the perfect opportunity. He needed to get out and talk to different people and to get his mind out of this lovely girl he loved.

Dan was not the typical party guy, but having fun with his friends was always good. He was dancing and goofing around when someone spelt some beer on his shirt.

-Oh my god I'm so sorry. Let me help you
-No, really it's okay
-Please, it's the least I can do. -He's hot- I'm Emma, by the way.
-Dan, nice to meet you.

They immediately liked each other. She was really beautiful, brunette, green eyes, and actually they had a lot in common. She was in one way or another the opposite of Serena. He was killing two birds in one shot, he found someone to get Serena jealous and someone to spend summer with. At first it was just a nice relationship for Dan, but when they started to hang out more and more, he really started to like her. Emma was maybe his type of girl before she met Serena. He was decided to forget about everything. And this new girl was really helping him to.

But eventually the summer had to end, and he and Nate had to face the woman of their dreams. Gossip girl had almost no info about Serena in Paris, because maybe she found more interesting Blair's story with a new prince. So they were blind. They did not know what to expect. They decided to wait in Dan's loft that day, just the two of them, and just catch up.

-So, you and Juliet, how is it going?
-Pretty good man, she is really nice, she is fun and exciting. And what about your new girl? -Actually, I really like her Nate. We have a lot in common, she is kind of making me happy. -That's great man! Guessing we are forgetting Serena huh? -Maybe, maybe is for the best. -So how's her name? -Whose name?

They turned around and they were both shocked. Serena was there. She was more beautiful than ever. Why was she there? Dan thought that when he saw her he would not feel a thing, because now he was with Emma. Oh god he was wrong. He felt a nude in the throat. He felt like the first time she talked to him. 10-8-2005. Exactly the same feeling.
