The club was crowded, full with people, like it usually is on a friday night. Nate scanned the place looking for a certain blonde. His eyes met one, just not the one he wanted, but Serena's.
"Nate! What a nice surprise! Oh my gosh, it has been forever!" Serena made her way over to Nate and gave him a warm and long hug.
"Serena, wow... a surprise indeed. How have you been?" Nate was shocked, and uncertain if he should be happy about Serena's return or not. The tall blonde was bound to stir up drama.
"I've been good. Europe was amazing! Even more amazing was Japan! You should have been there with me, I've really missed everyone".
"They've missed you too". That was a lie.
In the corner of Nate's eyes he saw his best friend Dan entering the club, and quickly made up some excuse about having to use the toilet. Serena smiled and walked over to the bar, giving Nate opportunity to tell Dan to get the hell out of there before Serena saw him.
"Hey man, are the girls here yet or can we take a shot before Blair starts watching my every move?" Dan said when Nate walked over.
"Bad news man, the one person who doesn't want you with Blair and could possibly ruin this night is here".
"Serena is here?" Dan's said in shock, but even so, he couldn't help feeling a bit intrigued.
"Yes, so let's get out of here before the girls get here and all hell breaks loose".
"No actually, you find the girls. I'm going to talk to Serena".
Dan left Nate's side before he could even get a word of disagreement out.
"We should have worn just jeans and a t-shirt, we're way overdressed". Jenny said as she stepped inside the club and saw that almost no one was wearing dresses.
"Waldorfs don't wear jeans and a t-shirt. I'm not a Humphrey yet". Blair answered with her best I'm-to-good-for-average tone. "And besides that blonde over there is wearing a dress, and an expensive one too!"
Jenny looked over to a blonde girl wearing a Missoni printed dress, she was talking to a bunch of guys, drink in hand. It wasn't until she could see the blonde's face that she realized who it really was.
"Um Blair, it's a good thing we drank a bottle of champagne at your place before going here".
"Why?"
"Because Serena is here".
Jenny pointed to the left corner as Blair looked her way... her whole body went cold when she saw that it really was Serena.
"Oh little J, we're going to need a lot more than champagne to get us through a night with Serena!" Blair said as she took Jenny's arm and lead her to the bar.
"2 shots of the strongest you have!" Blair shouted to the bartender over the loud music as she took out her wallet. She glanced over at Serena, who was now talking to Dan. "Make that a double!"
"Holland was probably my favorite country in Europe, the people there were so nice. I really loved Sweden too but some people were better looking than me, so I felt like I had to leave". Serena joked as she was talking to Dan about her trip. "Germany's nightlife was fun, but then I went to Poland and got bored".
"So you went to Japan and to see what Asia had to offer".
"Exactly".
"But you came home, I thought the plan for you was to actually move somewhere and live there?" Dan asked curiously, trying to figure out why Serena was really in New York.
"You know I did want to settle down somewhere, but then I heard about you and Blair getting married. I just started missing my old friends, I realized New York is the only place I wanna live".
The pair shared a moment of silence, Dan had a feeling Serena was thinking about the time before she left New York, how it all had gone down.
"Well I have to get back and look for Blair, make sure she's not too wasted. But it was really nice seeing you, Serena".
"Is Blair here?" her tone of voice suddenly changing, like she was on a mission. A mission to start drama or to reconcile with Blair, Dan didn't know.
"Um yeah, but please, for tonight, don't bring up what happened 4 years ago".
"I have never slept with someone's uncle, oops that I have, one shot for me" Blair said as she drowned her fourth shot. "I have never faked my virginity. Oops I have done that as well". As Blair reached for her fifth shot she saw that Jenny wasn't paying much attention to her. "Jenny, come on, I can't play I have never by myself, it's pathetic".
The blonde looked up to meet Blair's eyes, she couldn't see very well because the whole club was spinning in her head, but she was pretty sure Blair was drunk.
"Sorry Blair, I'm not feeling so good. I need to get some air". Jenny responded as she tried to get off the barstool.
"Fine hurry back, you have to drink tequila with me!" Blair shouted as Jenny made her way to the exit. She didn't feel so bad about leaving Blair since she had seen her brother walking their way.
Outside the air was cool and Jenny leaned against the club's wall, she was really not feeling well.
"Jenny?"
Oh no, Nate. Jenny thought as she looked up to meet his pretty blue eyes.
"Are you okay?" Nate asked as he moved in closer to Jenny, maybe a little too close.
"Yeah I'm fine, just needed to get some air".
"No you're not fine, look at you, you're drunk". Nate said as he took his hand up to cup Jenny's face, and stared intensely into her eyes.
"Actually! I've only had- I've only had- Oh no." Jenny could feel her stomach twitching and she had to push Nate away as she bent over.
All the champagne and all the shots came back up, that was not a good mixture.
