I'm a huge Derena fan and I noticed that nobody's posting any stories of them anymore so I thought I should give it a shot. English is not my first language so sorry in advance for any mistakes. Hope you like it please review

"That's the 8th singer and we still haven't found anyone to join our band" said Dan tired and annoyed after 2 hours of auditioning for his band.

"Well I liked that John dude … " replied Andrew.

"What the hell man? You really think a tap dancer is what's missing in our band?" shouted Mike at his twin brother.

Just when Andrew was about to reply Dan stopped them both "Okay guys I think that's enough for today. Let's all go home and we'll see what tomorrow brings us"

Just as they were standing up to leave a voice stopped them.

"Hello, I'm Serena Van Der Woodsen. I know that you asked for a male singer but I thought I could give it a shot. So can I tryout?"

All three boys nodded in agreement lost for words as they were mesmerized by this blonde beauty.

"You say you wander your own land

But when I think about it I don't see how you can

You're aching you're breaking and I can see the pain in your eyes

Says everybody's changing and I don't know why"

Serena stopped singing and stood nervously in front of them waiting for someone to say a thing. It felt like hours before Mike stood up and finally said something " Your voice is great and I for one think that there's nothing wrong for a girl to join our band. What do you think guys ?"

"Yeah I mean with a voice like that who can possibly say no?" joined Andrew.

Serena tilted her head so she was looking towards Dan who was still shocked at the view of this girl. Andrew hit him with the elbow finally waking him up from his daydream.

"Uh Y-Yeah Yes welcome to the band. I'm Dan, Dan Humphrey I play the keyboard. This is Andrew Philips our drummer and Mike Philips plays the bass"

"Nice to meet you guys and thanks for taking me in even though you weren't looking for a female singer"

They all smiled and stood still for a moment until Andrew broke the silence " So care to celebrate with the new member of our band?" They all nodded and headed to a café in Brooklyn where the guys hung out almost every day.

After 2 hours, they all felt like they'd known Serena for a lifetime she's just so down to earth and funny that they spent the whole time laughing together forgetting everything else .

Andrew's phone rang and he answered it " Yeah. Hi mom. Yes… Umm okay we'll be right there. Bye"

"Come on Mike we're leaving mom's waiting for us to dinner."

The two boys left after saying goodbye leaving Dan and Serena.

"So I should probably get going to I mean you sure have somewhere to go" said Serena.

"Noooo I mean no I don't have anything to do we can take a walk in the park or something but uh you can leave if you want and you can stay it's not a problem I mean really you're free to do whatever you want I'm not gonna hold you back" Serena smiled at Dan's rambling blushing. There's something about that boy that's so cute and she can't help it but smile everytime he talks.

"Actually a walk sounds great"

"Okay okay so a walk"
