"Serena." Lily called to her daughter.

"Coming." Serena replied, putting on her shoes. It was her mother's fifth wedding day. This time to Rufus. It was the summer after her first year at Brown, and she really liked it there. But she couldn't miss this. Although her mother had been married four times before she was actually in love this time.

When she had buckled her shoe she ran down the stairs. When she saw her mother she smiled. Lily looked beautiful, but she always did on her wedding days. But this was time was different, when she smiled it wasn't her ever practiced fake smiles, but one that lit up her whole face. Serena smiled back and saw Jenny sitting on the couch.

It was Jenny who had made the dresses. And Serena had to admit they are wonderful. Her's and Jenny's dress were light blue and billowed out whenever they walked. It was the first time that she had worn a non-designer dress to a wedding. But Jenny had a promising career in front of her, so it soon would be.

She had only arrived last night so the wedding was the first time she would see everyone. Blair and Chuck, who by some miracle hadn't killed each other yet, Nate and Vanessa, Eric, Dan and everyone. There were of course some people she wasn't looking forward to seeing but she just wouldn't bother with them.

"Mum, you look amazing." Serena said.

"Thank you." Lily replied.

"So how's Rufus handling the fact he has to have a society wedding?" Serena said.

"He's taking it well. He's getting used to it now." Lily said with a slight smile in her face, remembering how awkward he was when he had first went to a society event.

"Lily, the cars are here." Jenny said.

The three of them got into the lift. When it reached the ground floor they all got out. Jenny helped with Mum's dress. Serena smiled, Jenny was really nice and about to become my sister. It felt odd that her ex-boyfriend's family was about to become her family but she and Dan had decided to just forget the past and be happy for their parents.

When Serena looked at her mother it was hard not to be happy for her. She had never seen her mother so happy. Serena got into the limo and sat next to Jenny.

"So how are you feeling?" Jenny asked Lily.

"Nervous." Lily said.

"You'll be fine." Jenny said.

When they arrived at the wedding venue, the three girls all smiled at each other. Jenny and Serena got out first, then they helped Lily out.

The wedding planner walked up to them.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

Lily nodded.

"OK, the girls go down the aisle first followed by you." He said then walked off to check something with the caters.

They heard the music begin, so Jenny and Serena smiled at each other. With one last glance of encouragement at her mother Serena followed Jenny up the aisle praying that she wouldn't fall. When they had both the alter they turned around and watched as Lily walked up.

When she got up the alter Serena took the flowers from her. She glanced behind Lily and Rufus and rested her eyes upon her little brother. They both smiled at each other. When the ceremony was ended they all walked towards the hall. Serena caught up with Eric and hugged him.

"Hey how's my favourite little brother?" she joked.

"I'm your only little brother." He replied.

They both smiled when the photographer came up.

"So, do you think fifth time's the last time?" Serena said.

"Yeah it seems different somehow this time." Eric said.

"I know." Serena said. "I've got to go see someone."

With that she left her brother's side and went to find Blair. It didn't take her long.

"S!" Blair said upon seeing her friend.

"B." Serena replied hugging her "How are you?"

"I'm fine. I've missed you though." Blair said lifting a glass of champagne from one of the tables.

"I've missed you too. It was so weird at Brown with none of you there." Serena said.

"And NYU, isn't as bad as I thought it'd be. It's no yale but it isn't exceptionally bad." Blair giggled.

"I can't believe how much you've grown up in a year." Serena said looking at her best friend.

"I know. But I was always the more mature one." Blair joked.

Serena pretended to push Blair. "So, how are you and Chuck doing?"

Blair smiled "Great, he's stopped being sooo..."

"Chuck." Serena said laughing.

"I was going to say arrogant, well he still is but less so now."

"I'm happy for you B." Serena said honestly.

"Thanks. So have you found anyone new?" Blair said.

Serena shook her head. "No. I have had lots of dates but no real relationship."

"S, I think I know the perfect person for you." Blair said.

"No Blair." Serena said, but Blair had already disappeared.

Nate was the next person she seen.

"Hey, where's Vanessa?" Serena asked.

"We broke up." Replied Nate.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Serena said.

"It's OK." Nate said.

Serena then noticed Blair looking at them with a glint in her eyes. Then realisation sunk in.

"Excuse me." Serena said and walked up to her best friend. "Whatever you're planning stop now!"

"Me, planning something? Well I have no idea, what you mean." Blair said and walked away.

Serena was going to go and say something else but she was then called to go get photos taken. She sighed and turned around praying that Blair wouldn't do anything, but knowing that in true Blair Waldorf style, she would.
