AN: I'll be honest here, I have no clue where I want this fic to go as of now lol. I have no idea where this fic really came from but I was watching all my favorite couples and realized that I wanna do a fic that has all of those great moments. Like Epic, only more emotions. The couples I want to use "likenesses" of are Brooke/Lucas, Cappie/Casey, and Ross/Rachel. Clearly this is a fic about Dan and Serena, but those other couples had kick ass moments that I just want to shadow on. At the end of the fic I'll tell you were I get the spin-off idea from (what couple). I want to say right now, I do not own any of the couples and I'm not stealing the ideas that were used for them, I'm simply redoing them in my own way. So lets not think I'm copying off other writers, I'd never take someone else's stuff. One part maybe be considered a little M rated so I have to give a warning so you all know! Enjoy and Review =).


Serena picked up the last box from the truck and made her way up the steps. Her boyfriend was already upstairs having everything moved into place. The only thing he would let Serena bring up was a box of pillows. He didn't want his girl doing any of the work, but she want to say that she did something. They were moving into an apartment buliding in SoHo. She was getting back to her UES roots after spending time traveling the world with her dad. Yes, Serena Van der Woodsen finally caught up with her father. It was a shock to everyone at first. He spent so much time away, but the real reason Serena kept to herself. She wasn't sure how ready she was to let everyone know about how close she got with her dad just yet. She kinda liked having a secret all to herself.

"Serena?" A blonde yelled from down the hall.

"Hi Jenny! What are you doing here?"

"Well, I live here. Down the hall actually."

"So we're like neighbors."

"Yeah, for now atleast."

"I heard about the loft, I'm so sorry."

"The fire didn't ruin much, honestly. My dad just wanted us to be far away from it all while it's being fixed."

"And you guys picked here to live?"

"No. My dad is with Lily and Erik at the hotel."

"How did you ever convince your dad to let you live alone?"

"I'm not living alone." Jenny giggled.

"Jenny! Who is he?"

"Babe, do you know where we packed my file?" The tall 5'9 ft man asked.

"Um, maybe with your office stuff." Serena answered.

"Who's this?"

"Oh how rude of me! Jenny this is my boyfriend Richard."

"But you can call me Rich." He replied extending his hand."

"Nice to meet you."

"Now back to my question. Who do you live with?"

"Jenn! Can't believe you ditched me and made me carry all the bags."

"Dan?" Serena questioned.

"Serena?" You're back!"

"So this is Dan." Rich raised his brow.

"And you'd be?" Dan dropped a bag on the floor.

"He's my boyfriend, Rich." Serena drapped his arm around her.

"Really nice to meet you." Dan said sarcasticly. "Are you what's being keeping her away from the city for so long?"

"Nah, I do travel a lot but Serena can go where she wants."

"Well I should go bring these bags inside."

Jenny tore the bags from Dan's hand and ran into her apartment. Richard's cellphone went off and he went inside so he could talk to his client in private. He kissed Serena's cheek almost as if to show Dan that Serena was his territory.

"So...."

"You and Jenny live together now?"

"Yeah....we do."

"Look, I don't want this to be awkward, clearly we're neighbors."

"It won't be. Not if we don't let it be."

"Good. Because I moved on."

"Oh yeah, with Mr. Stick shoved up my ass guy? You two make a lovely pair."

"Stop it! Stop trying to nit-pick at every guy I ever date."

"He's not good enough for you."

Serena glarred at Dan. He was trying to get into her head. After two years of not talking it's like all the fighting was coming to a head. She loosened the scarf around her neck and fanned herself off.

"I'm not settling." Serena replied in a pissed off toned and ran inside. She slammed the door behind her and rest her back against it.

"Everything okay?"

"Yeah. It's just really hot in here."

"My client needs to meet with me. I'll be back in less than an hour if all goes well." Richard kissed Serena and hugged her tight.


"Sherri!"

"Serena! It's so great to see you."

"Yeah, it's a long way from our Brown days."

"Only you took the year off. Junior year will be hell without you."

"Actually I'll be with you." Serena smiled.

"Huh?"

"I took a bunch of online courses and did some hours for the school. I'm still behind a bit but I'm considered a junior!"

"Girl, we need to get some drinks in your skinny ass so that we can celebrate."

Forty five minutes passed and Serena kept playing with her third drink. Sherri kept rambling on about some guy she met and hooked up with last semester. Serena was in and out of the conversation. She kept thinking back to before in the hallway seeing Dan. He looked so much older, then again two years without seeing him would change his look. She read about him on Gossip Girl though. He had some relationships but mostly stuck to school and work. It's like time didn't stand still, even if she wanted it to.

"Isn't that your man over there?" Sherri broke out of the conversation and pointed to a man leaving the ladies room fixing his tie.

He was arm and arm with this short brunette who was zipping her skirt backup. Serena grabbed her purse and ran out into the alley. She watched Richard put the girl into a cab and right his numer on a card. She fumed with anger and wanted to confront him. Sherri bolted out of the bar and helped Serena hide till Richard left.

"I feel like a fool! Some client that is. What exactly did she need done? Herself!"

"Calm down, don't make a scene."

"A scene? My now prick of a boyfriend just cheated on me."

"You still love him?"

"What kind of question is that right now?"

"An important one. If you still live him maybe there's something to fight for."

"How am I suppose to look at him when he just screwed another girl?"

"You make it right."

"What the hell is that suppose to mean?" Serena grew pale.

"Find a guy. Any guy and sleep with him. Then you tell Richard what happened, but don't tell him with who. Then you two will be even."

Serena didn't exactly agree with Sherri's method. She didn't want to cheat even if her boyfriend already did. But she knew the perfect guy to do it with.


Serena put on her black lingerie and long jacket and headed down the door. Her heels were killing her, but they'd be off soon. She rubbed some lipstick on her lips and tossed her hair. She looked and her phone and waited outside the door for two minutes. She needed to mentally prepare herself before she went in. She hoped he was home alone and that someone else wouldn't answer the door. She fixed her bra so that her breasts will just be tucked him enough. She put her hand up against the wall and softly knocked. There he was with his jaw dropped to the floor in amazement that she was standing there. She slowly spun her head to meet his eyes.

"You alone?"

He just nodded.

"Good." Serena shut the door behind them and took off her coat.

She pulled Dan to the couch and pushed him down. She sat on his lap and lowered the straps of her bra slowly and caressed Dan's lips with her other finger. She pulled him in and smacked her lips against his. He removed his lips from hers and he bagan to kiss her collarbone. She rubbed her hands against his tight shoulders exploring every inch of muscle. She let out a small moan as Dan began to work. He bit his lip as she moaned with each thrust and bump.

"That was...." Dan began as he removed some sweat off his face.

"It was just one night." Serena replied as she put her clothes back on.

"It was good enough for more?" Dan tried to pull Serena back to bed.

"It was just perfect for what I needed."

"It meant nothing?"

"It meant everything. It was two friends helping each other out."

"So, that's it. Now you're back to him." Dan grew heated.

"Dan, I'm with Richard now."

"Yet, you slept with me."

"And he slept with someone else."

"You used me? I could kill him for cheating on you, but you go and use me."

"Don't act like you never cheated on me Dan." Serena grabbed her jacket and slammed the door.


Flashback

"So I just heard about you and Rachel." Serena pulled Dan away from the crowded party.

"I guess Blair told you."

"Well you told her first!"

"And I was going to tell you."

"When Dan, huh? When it was a good time for you?"

"It's not like that, we were broken up anyway!"

"Don't make it sound like my fault! She was my teacher! Someone I looked up to."

"It was only twice, I swear."

"I can't even look at you right now, it's like I'm talking to a stranger."

"No, it's still me."

"What happened to the Dan Humphrey I knew. The guy that I never thought would cheat on someone, or hurt me. How could you do this. Don't you understand we can never be together now."

"Don't say that!"

"Dan, you said there was nothing going on between you two and then you sleep with her, twice. Even if it was after the fact, it's like you lied to my face.

Serena began to cry. She didn't even let Dan finish. She slapped him in the face and walked off.


"Hey babe, how's it going?"

"Don't you babe me you smug asshole."

"Bad day?"

"Yeah, you could say that. I saw you and that whore leaving the bar. Don't deny it."

"I won't, but why are you so flushed."

"Cause I just slept with someone. We're even."

"Do you really believe those words?"

"No and don't think you're sleeping in my bed." Serena grabbed a water bottle. "You know what, forget it. I want you gone, I don't want you anymore."

"See, that won't happen."

"Read my lips, we're through."

"Not if you want your dad to stay out of jail. I have enough on him to send him away for a long time and have him never practice medicine again." Richared replied turning the tables.

"Who was he? Richard spoke again when Serena didn't reply.

"Why does it matter?"

"Cause I didn't love the girl I was sleeping with. Did you have feeling for who you were with?"

"No." Serena lied through her teeth.


AN: So, I hope we don't all hate me or this fic lol. So, the get even and sleep with someone else was the Cappie/Casey thing. Don't know what I'm talking about? Watch Greek lol! And the flashback came from a Ross/Rachel breakup after he cheated when he thought they were over. See? I didn't steal any ideas, made them my own, silly rabbits!
