Blair shook Serena's arm, "Wake up!" she said.
It was 9:14 AM and Blair, Serena, Nate, Chuck, Kati, and Isabel had all stayed up the whole night before partying in the Bass' suite. They had, as usual, fallen asleep there.
"Come on Serena," Blair said, still tugging on her arm, "I wanna get going."
"Okay, Okay. I'm coming," Serena said sleepily. She got up slowly and walked over to the sink and started washing her face.
Serena and Blair got dressed and did their hair. Blair put the brush down and asked, "Ready?"
"Yeah," Serena answered.
"Kay," Blair said, grabbing her purse, "Let's go."
Blair and Serena started walking towards the door and around Kati, Isabel, Nate, and Chuck, who were spread out on the floor and beds, all of them asleep.
Blair walked past Nate and kissed him on the cheek. She wanted to stay until he woke up and say good-bye to him, but she really wanted to get going too.
Blair and Serena walked out the door.
Serena smiled as she shut the door behind her. It was just like old times, all of them staying up all night long partying, and then her and Blair sneaking out early in the morning to go shopping and catch up with each other. Man, had she missed all of this. Things were finally starting to get back to normal, and Serena couldn't be more happy if she tried.
