Chapter 2

Alliances Form

Dan sighed as he raced out of school at lunch to meet Blair and Serena at the Met. It would be the first time since the SATs that he would actually speak to Blair, and for a reason he couldn't quite understand, he was incredibly nervous. He took a minute to compose himself nd then took off running up the steps.

Blair spotted Dan coming up the steps and her hand subconsciously flew to fix her hair. Blair worriedly looked over at Serena to make sure she hadn't noticed anything, but luckily Serena was engrossed in a conversation with Lily on the phone, so she wasn't even paying attention to Blair. "Ugh", Serena said with a frown on her face as she hung up the phone. "My mother wants to have a quiet family dinner tonight since Chuck and Bart are in Monte Carlo for the bachelor party. Apparantly this will be the last time we can all be van der Woodsens together. So sorry B but un fortunately no Breakfast at Tiffany's tonight.." "That's ok S", Blair said reassuringly, " oh and look here's Dan". Dan quickly kissed Serena and then mustered up a hello to Blair. Blair put on what she hoped what was a weird semblance of a fake smile and the did a little wave. "Oh my god", Blair thought in horror, " did I just do the wave?".

"Did she just do the wave?", Dan said looking at her in shock. Then he reminded himself that he was neurotic and began to speak about. his current problem with Jenny. He didn't tell them that Asher was gay, just that he was hiding something. " Can I use this against her?" Blair said airily. Dan gave her a look and she just shrugged while smiling. "Babe, I don't think this is about you" said Serena taking his hand, "I think jenny is just growing up". "Well, could she not insult my pants while doing it?", Dan said in a tired voice. "She insulted your pants?", Blair said. "Maybe I underestimated her".

Out of the corner of her eye, Blair saw Serena retract in horror from a text. "S are you ok?', Blair asked her. "Um I'm fine B, it's just that… my mom has a wedding emergency and I really need to go home and help her. Can you cover for me?" "Of course", Blair said , still worried. "Bye", Serena quickly said, and then she rushed away from Dan and Blair. " So, you never got your advice , did you?", Blair said with a smile. "Oh no Blair, I don't think I could use advice from you", Dan said shaking his head and laughing. " "What's that supposed to mean?" Blair asked in a hurt voice. Dan looked her straight in the eye and said, " You want to destroy her." "Wrong", Blair said quietly, " I want to destroy what she has become. What I have accidentally made her into". "Do you know how to do that?" Dan said in a quiet voice. "yes, I do, but I do need an inside person to help". Then she outstretched her right hand, her eyes steely with determination. Dan looked at the hand, then sucked in a breath, and took it.

Serena practically ran to her suite and found that there was indeed a package on her bed, just like the text had promised. She slowly opened it and found a DVD inside. She put it into her computer and saw what she had been trying to run away from. Unfortunately, now it was blocking her.

Good afternoon, UESers. It seems that S has now opened Pandora's box and all hell is about to break loose on the UES. Such as the very unholy friendship that seems to be happening between Lonelyboy and Queen B. Watch your back S, or you might find a knife in it.
