"You know I never ask to go for a vacation!" Serena retort at her mom, she really want to just spent her summer with her boyfriend Jared but she can't tell her mom that and she did say to her parents that she is spending time with Blair "people around the world enjoy a vacation in New York City, why can't we just stay…"

"Stop being so dramatic!" Eric says, unplugging his earphone from his iphone "we're stuck with them!" he says pointing at a family approaching the Van Der Woodsen's at the airport. Eric is smart, tall, blonde and older than Serena. He has been away in RISD for a semester now and although he loves the freedom, deep down he is worried about Serena. Serena is the exact replica of their mother, Lily!

"Who are they?" she asks, she never sees them before and this is not the kind of vacation that she wanted. If a family vacation is what her mom wants than why in the world is this other family joining them.

"Serena and Eric… this is jenny and Daniel, they are joining us for 3 weeks vacation." Lily blurted out the excitement.

"Why mom?" Serena asks before the two siblings comes closer "this is our holiday, why bring them?"

"Hi, Mrs van Der Woodsen" Dan greet her with a smile. It's an awkward moment, he turn to smile at Eric and Serena, only Eric smiles back where else Serena just stand there analyzing him.

"Just call me Lily, your parents is waiting for us there?" she ask and he nodded "let's check in."

As Lily leave the kids behind to follow, Dan politely offer to help Serena in carrying her luggage "let me help you with that…" he says with a smile, he bend down to carry it but was pushed by Serena.

"No one touches my luggage!" she says rudely and walks away.

"Sorry man, she is a bit of a diva… you know?" Eric says apologizing for his little sister "by the way, I'm Eric!" he says introducing himself to Dan and Dan did the same thing.

An hour later…

"Mom, why on earth are we with them?" Serena ask queuing up for security check "who are they?"

"They're your friends; you were friends in 2nd grade. You might not remember them, but they just moved back to the city and now we are going to spend some time in Paris before they move back permanently okay?"

20 minutes later…

"I prefer to sit by the window!" She said walking to her seat number. Jenny and Eric got the seats in front of them and Serena is stuck with Dan.

"And that's my problem because…"

"Excuse me?"

"You can sit by the aisle…"

"I don't want to!"

"All you have to do is ask me…" Dan says with a smug.

"You know what, whatever!" Serena gave up.

On the front seat, Jenny and Eric is smiling hearing Dan and Serena bickering with each other. "You know, you guys used to be so friendly together!" Jenny says, peeking in between the seats.

"I don't remember!"

"Oh, I remember… you used to have this thing together… everyday Serena keep on asking my mom about Dan!" Eric says enjoying the moment.

"What?" Dan and Serena say in unison.

"Have fun travelling together…" Eric laughs followed by Jenny.

"This is going to be a long flight!" Dan says.

"Tell me about it!"
