A/N: Yay another chapter. So far I'm getting good at having a schedule for updating but on that note I do have some bad news for this week. I will not be able to update tomorrow because I will be on the road(I will try my best to either have another chapter up tonight to make up for it. If not I will have two on Wednesday) I really hope you enjoy this chapter.

Disclaimer: I own Darcinda Ellis. One of my favorite characters I have ever written. That is all. Just her.

Van der Woodsen?

Darcy walked into the apartment going through the mail looking for a movie premiere invite. She knew it had to be here somewhere. Her actress friend growing up had a movie premiere in town. Their moms were best friends in high school and even pregnant around the same time. Flipping through the mail though there was one addressed to Keith Van der Woodsen. She put the mail on the counter as her uncle walked out of his room.

"Keith?" she said and he looked at her.

"Yeah" he replied walking over.

"Is your last name Van der Woodsen?"

"Yeah why?" he asked giving her a confusing look

"Oh, um well dad's always been on the down low about his last name. Something about enemies. Which is why he tends to use moms most of the time. But then this came in the mail for you" she said handing it over.

"Why are you being weird about it?"

"Because a friend of mine has the same last name. Please tell me it's a coincidence."

"It has to be. Your dad is my only brother. It was just us two. And you are an only child and don't even have his last name." he replied helping her go through the mail.

"Alright. I guess I'm over thinking it" she said "Must be a coincidence"

"Yes" he said and handed her a letter. She grabbed it and quickly tore it open. "Who is from?"

"Olivia Burke"

"Oh your actress friend."

"Yes Keith her. She's going to NYU as of today which I need to stop by and see her and she has a movie premiere this week"

"Well I'm sure you and Nate will have fun at it"

"He gets to enter my world" she smiled.

"Be easy on that boy Darc" Keith said.

"Well I should get going if I'm gonna make it to NYU and then go meet Nate" Darcy said walking away.

"See you later. Love you" Keith shouted.

"You too!" she shouted back and getting on the elevator.

She got to NYU and found the room that Oliva said she would be at.

"Darc!" Olivia yelled hugging her.

"Liv!" she yelled back.

"Darcy?" Vanessa said.

"V hey"

"Do you go here?" Olivia asked.

"No I go to Columbia"

"What? Darcy Wild Child Ellis. Goes to Columbia"

"I worked hard my last year to get in" she smiled.

"And you two know each other?" Vanessa said.

"We grew up in the business together" Olivia said. "Our moms were best friends in high school"

"This is all crazy" Vanessa said.

"Well it was great seeing you Liv, I will for sure be at your premiere"

"Thanks hun you're the best" Olivia said hugging her again

"Bye V" Darcy said and headed out. She found Nate with Dan and sat at their table.

"Hey beautiful" Nate said kissing her.

"Darcy" Dan said.

"Dan" she replied.

"He met a girl" Nate said grinning. "And didn't get her number"

"Well you could take the Archibald approach and make out with her."

"Oh is that how he got you" Dan asked.

"I lured her with my charm" Nate said kissing her cheek.

"Well you two always flirted so it makes sense. And this guy couldn't stop talking about you. Ever"

"Hey" Nate said "Anyways I expected more game from the guy who dated Serena Van der Woodsen"

Dan's eyes lit up.

"That's her" Dan said and Nate and Darcy looked over to see Olivia.

"That's Kate?" Nate asked.

"Kate?" Darcy asked. Then remembered that was Olivia's middle name.

"That's her?" Nate asked. Darcy could clearly tell Nate knew who she was,

"Yeah" Dan said.

"That's…" Nate started and looked over at Olivia.

"…a sign you should talk to her" Darcy finished.

"Yeah okay. I will" Dan said and got up and walked over to her. Nate started laughing.

"What a team we are" Darcy said hiding.

"Why are you hiding?"

"I know her. We're friends."

"My girlfriend is friends with Olivia Burke?" He whispered and watched the two walk out,

"You know who Olivia Burke is but didn't know me?"

"I knew as soon as I knew"

"Like that makes sense" She laughed. "Let me guess you want her autograph"

"If you could"
"Um you're dating me. You don't need no autograph" she said kissing him

"I can live with that"

"Alright then boyfriend are you free tomorrow night?"

"For you of course"

"Movie premiere"

"With Darcy Ellis?!"

"Shut up" she said giving him one more kiss then leaving.

The next day she finished getting ready for the premiere. She walked out into the living room and saw Nate waiting. He stood up and just stared.

"Wow" he said kissing her.

"Thank you" she replied.

"I have the most beautiful girlfriend in the world" he said.

She smiled at him and gave him another kiss.

"Come on Romeo. You're about to enter my world"

They arrived at the premiere and many cameras started taking photos of them. Most of them calling out her name to look their way. They got inside and spotted Olivia posing for a photo.

"You made it" Liv said hugging her "This must be the boyfriend?"

"Huge fan. Nate Archibald"

"Nice to meet you" Olivia said hugging him.

"Were gonna go find our seats"
"I hope you like the movie"

"You are as talented as the women you were named after so of course it will be amazing"

"Thank you Darc, You are a lucky man Nate Archibald. She's a keeper"

"Yeah I think so too" He said.

They took their seats and she spotted Serena talking to Lily which made her think of the mail addressed to her uncle.

"You okay?" Nate asked.

"Just family stuff on my mind"

"Your Dad?"

"Yeah, I miss him"

"I know" Nate said kissing her forehead and she leaned into him.

The next day Darcy walked into the park and called the one person she knew could help her.

"Hey sis" Carter answered.

"Remember when I needed to find my dad for my mom"

"Yeah"

"I need your help"

"Is he missing?"

"No but I need to know more about his family. My family. My uncle got a letter addressed Keith Van der Woodsen. Find anything and everything you can on them. Please."

"Why?"

"My dad has secrets and I want to know them."

"I'm on it"

"Don't tell your girlfriend"

"Client confidentiality"

"I'll pay you"
"Family discount. Because I love you"

"You too Carter" she said.

"I'll talk to you later okay sis"

"Thank you for doing this. You're the best" she said and they hung up. She was getting to the bottom of all the secrets. She needed an answer.

A/N: Alright I hope you liked it. (For those who have read Secret Keeper. I know that in both my character is friends with Olivia. My original plan was for them not to know each other in this one but since they are both actresses and Darcy's mom's famous it only made sense) Also this chapter marks the beginning of what many of you had already assumed about Darcy's dad. And I hope you all enjoy how it's gonna play out because I did enjoy putting it all together.
