Monday morning came quicker than expected. The sunlight poured into Blair's room causing her to stir. Slowly, she began to crawl out of bed and she dragged herself to the kitchen where Marianne was waiting with a selection of breakfast items.

"Good morning Miss Blair" Marianne smiled as she pulled the chair out for her to sit on. Blair sits down and grabs a piece of toast. Marianne pours her coffee as she does every morning.

"Morning Mommy" Henry says cheerfully as he walks over to the breakfast table and takes a seat. He observes the choices and looks excited. "Ooh waffles! Yummy, my favourite!" he exclaims as he greedily takes four waffles off the plate. Blair smiles to herself.

"So Henry, are you prepared for your math test?" Blair asks as she helps herself to some fruit.

"Yes I think so" Henry manages to say with a mouthful of food. "Daddy helped me last week and I've got better"

"Ah good" was all Blair could think of replying with. She smiled awkwardly at her son as he helped himself to some more waffles.

After breakfast Henry ran off into his room to dress for school. Blair showers and brushes her teeth as she enters her closet to decide on what to wear. After she got ready she walked into the foyer where Henry greeted her in his shirt, bowtie, suit pant combination. He really was a Mini Bass.

Blair walked Henry to his school which was only a few blocks away. Henry moaned about walking but Blair insisted it was good for him. Finally reaching the school, Blair kisses Henry goodbye and he runs inside.

"Have you heard?" Blair heard Catherine Watson whisper to Hazel Williams. "Chuck Bass is dating again. Poor Blair" she added sympathetically. Blair rolled her eyes and hailed a taxi to the MET.

Arriving at the MET, Blair was greeted by the sight of Dan waiting on the steps holding two cups of coffee. Trying to hide a grin, Blair strolls towards Dan and greets him.

"Hello Humphrey" Blair smiles as she holds her hand out to receive her coffee. "This is a non-fat mocha right?"

"Obviously Waldorf" Dan laughs whilst shaking his head. "I hoped you hadn't changed that much over the years"

"Well, not with my coffee choice" Blair retorts as she takes a sip of her drink. Mmm she thinks.

Dan looks at the woman sitting next to him as if she was the same girl he met all those years ago. She still had her rosy red cheeks in the cold and her warm, infectious laugh. The only difference was she had a few wrinkles. She was still so… So beautiful.

"So what exhibit are we seeing?" Blair asks as she finishes her coffee.

"Something to do with impressionism of fashion. I thought you'd enjoy it" Dan shrugs as he starts to walk into the building.

"Yeah I enjoyed it when it was showing a few years back!" Blair says sarcastically and Dan rolls his eyes.

"Current art exhibits aren't as good as the ones in the past. New artists don't have the meaning behind them as they used to. All they care about is painting or sculpting something eye catching that will sell for millions of dollars. No one seems to care about meaning anymore" Dan rambles as Blair just nods along.

"I agree actually" Blair mumbles. Dan widens his eyes.

"Are you agreeing with me on something Waldorf?!" Dan exclaims with a shocked expression. Blair just laughs.

"It can happen" she said as Dan just looks on rolling his eyes. "Don't expect it to happen often"

Dan and Blair wander around the exhibit taking in the art. Opinions are stated, sometimes agreed with and sometimes not ("You are such a girl Waldorf!", "And you are such a boy!") and by the end of the exhibit they were in full conversation about the work they had just seen.

"Fashion provides a key role in impressionist's work as proven there! Without the work of fashion designers, inspiration for such fantastic pieces would never have been there" Blair argues as Dan just tuts.

"Without fashion there would be many other sources of inspiration. It depends on the artist. Every artist has a muse" Dan retorts.

"Fashion is the most powerful art there is. It's movement-" Blair begins.

"-design and architecture all in one. It shows the world who we are and who we'd like to be…" Dan finishes leaving her speechless. "Yeah yeah yeah you've used that argument on me before Waldorf. Be creative"

Blair remains silent as she walks alongside Dan. They walk past the old foreign movie theatre where the sign 'Nénette' is shining brightly. Dan turns to Blair.

"Want to go? For old times' sake?" Dan asks pointing at the sign.

"I suppose" Blair smiles. "This time you don't have to sit a seat away"

Dan laughs. "I believe it was three seats away" he replies as he enters the theatre. He walks to the kiosk and the teenage boy looks at the grumpily. "Two for Nénette please"

"That's $24.50" the boy states and Dan hands over his card. Blair looks up at him and beams at him.

After the movie, Dan hails a cab for Blair. One comes quite quickly and Blair stands in front of Dan.

"Thanks for bringing me Humphrey. I had a nice time" Blair says quietly. Dan smirks.

"How hard must've that been for you to say?" he laughs as he leans in to kiss her on the cheek. She felt the softness of his lips brush against her cheek which caused her to blush. "I had a nice time too. We should do it again"

"I suppose I could do that" Blair says as she enters the taxi. She gives the man her address and she looks at Dan waiting for her to leave before he starts walking. She can't help but smile to herself.

For the first time in months she hasn't been sulking around the house thinking about Chuck. For the first time in months she hadn't gone shopping in order to take her mind off Chuck. For the first time in months she hadn't surrounded herself in tasks so Chuck wouldn't creep into her mind. For the first time in months she had fun.
