A/N: Here's you guys another chapter. Sorry for the delay in posting.

Disclaimer: I only own Darcy. That is all.

Brooke's Diaries.

Darcy walked into the Empire after locating Dan on the Gossip Girl map and heading there. She had read the diaries and had thought about what Austin had said. She was gonna get them published and Dan was the person to help. Not to mention going by the Empire meant she can check in on Chuck. She got up to the penthouse walked in noticing a dog.

"Take it back to the pound or I will." Chuck said.

"Sorry I have a meeting." Dan said.

"Whose dog?" Darcy asked.

"No one's" Chuck responded "Humphrey."

"I gotta go kill this book once and for all." Dan replied.

"Oh speaking of which. I actually need your assistance in something."

"Darcy Ellis asking for my help? This must be big."

"Its novel related."

"After my meeting I'll get back to you."

"Thanks" she replied and Nate walked in.

"Whoa who's the little guy?" Nate asked.

"He's…" Dan started.

"He's mine" Darcy replied getting a weird look from Chuck.

"Oh"

"I thought maybe he could help Bass" she replied "and um me? You know?"

"Okay" Nate said then turned to Dan "Did we have plans? Is that why you're here?"
"No I'm just here to wish you luck on your first day." Dan replied.

"Thank you."

"Remember to walk the dog." Dan said then left.

Nate picked up the suitcase.

"I'm not gonna even ask." he replied

"Good luck Archibald." Darcy commented.

"Have a good day you two." Nate said then walked out.

Darcy turned to Chuck and smiled.

"Can we keep him?" she asked. He gave her a small smiled.

"We?" he asked.

"Yes. We Bass" she said and grabbed his hand "I still have feelings for you and I know you feel the same. Maybe with some time and focus on us, and maybe this little guy can help?"

"Yeah I guess."

"So that's a yes? We can keep him?"

"Yes" he replied and she kissed his cheek.

"Thank you" she commented "I should probably get to class, I've already missed too much."

"I'll see you later?" he asked.

"Tonight" she responded and gave him another kiss on the cheek.

After her first class she headed back to the apartment and gathered up the journals. She put them in the book bag and checked Gossip Girl to find Dan.

Turns out that the rumoured U.E.S. novel is fact, not fiction, and I have the inside scoop on who the author is. Patience, pets. Your answer's coming.

His plan not exactly working was even better for her. If she got Dan to help her with this then him already having a social satire, that worked for her.

Later that evening she arrived at the Jenny Packman show with her bag of journals trying her best to locate Dan. She got inside further and ran into Lily and Rufus.

"Oh my god Lily. You're free!"

"Yes and thank you for your summer emails on how to pass the time.

"Of course. Um, have either one of you seen Dan?"

"You and Dan?" Rufus asked.

"He's helping me with something. I'm still very much into Bass."

"I was so sad to hear of your breakup" Lily stated "I always thought you two were good for each other."

"We're gonna work on us, hopefully be back together soon."

"Good" Lily said.

"To answer your question is we haven't seen Dan."

"Thank you anyways" she replied then walked away.

The modeling started and she stopped to watch still looking for Dan. She heard a crash and turned to see them. Dan and Blair.

She ran into Dan after.

"So you done with whatever it is you've been doing?"

"Yeah."

"Now can you help me?"

"One more stop." he said walking way and she just stood there confused. He stopped and turned to her "Are you coming?"

"Yeah" she replied then caught up to him.

"What's in the bag?" he asked.

"That can wait." she replied.

The got to a restaurant and Darcy got even more confused.

"So food is your next stop?"

"No, there is a dinner party going on where the author hosting it stole my book."

"And you're gonna confront him?"

"Exactly"

"Alright, let's do this" she replied.

They got toward the back and spotted the party.

"Noah, we need to talk" Dan said.

"Everyone this is Dan Humphrey. He was my inspiration for Dylan Hunter" Noah said "And of course the lovely Darcy Ellis is joining him"

"I'm really in the book?" She whispered to Dan and he nodded.

"Isn't that right Daniel?"

"No!" Dan said "You didn't write this book. I did!"

Everyone started to applaud. After the party thing she arrived at his home with him. He sat the book down and turned to Darcy.

"What exactly do you need from me?" he asked.

"Dan Humphrey, a published writer." she said picking up the book.

"Darcy?" he said and she put the book back down.

"My friend Brooklyn died" she said setting down the book bag.

"I heard, I'm sorry"

"Well she left me these" she said pulling one of the journals out.

"Her diaries?"

"Not entirely her diaries. They're more like a biography."

"Who's"

"Mine."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"I need your help publishing them. They're written out, I just need them typed and edited."

"I'd have to read them"

"That's fine. Seriously."

"So basically Darcy Ellis is asking me to write her biography"

"Correction, type. Edit. Brooke already wrote it. But if you want to add your own view. You can"

"This is truly an amazing opportunity Darcy, but I won't have the time."

"I'm not asking for it to be done tomorrow. Just whenever. It can be next week or 20 years from now. I don't care."

"Wow."

"Read the journals and tell me if it's something you wanna do"

"If you read my book."

"Of course" she said picking the book back up "I should go. I told Bass I'd see him tonight. Thanks for the dog by the way. I think he'll help. Not only Bass but me."

"Well heads up. Blair might have stopped by and told him something."

"I can handle a moody Bass" She smiled then to both her and Dan's surprised she hugged him. "Thank you"

"No thank you" he replied

She got back to the Empire and walked into Chuck's room seeing him fast asleep with the dog. She could see some tear stains under his eyes and she gave a weak smile. She walked over and sat on the bed next to him. She then began reading Dan's book as she watched her man sleep.
