Second Annual Halloween Party

Dan nearly dropped the chocolate cupcake he was holding as Blair and Serena made their grand entrance to his party. He'd thought, last year, that the pair of them wouldn't be able to top the superheroine thing they had going, but clearly he'd been wrong. Blair was dressed as a tavern wench (complete with corset) and Serena…was a Viking? What the hell? Along with the sexy gold outfit, she wore a helmet and carried a very lethal looking sword. He hoped, for his sanity and safety, that it was a fake…

"Hey Dan!" they waved as they walked over to him.

"Wow," he smiled. "Serena the Bloodthirsty."

"Yep," the blonde smiled. "I'm embracing my inner Viking! Watch this."

She held the sword up in front of her.

"By Odin, God of War!"

Dan barely had time to chuckle at Blair saying, "We're never watching the history channel again," before the sword burst into flames. The effect was only slightly ruined by Serena giggling and bouncing like a toddler who's just used the "big girl potty" for the first time…

"What the fuck?" he yelped, taking a few steps back.

"I have a friend in special effects at Universal," Serena grinned.

"Blair, sometimes you've got to tell her no!" Dan urged, laughing.

"I tried, she ordered it anyway," Blair stole his cupcake with a shrug.

"Just don't kill anyone, okay?" he told Serena.

"I don't kill; I smite."
