Disclaimer: I only own Darcy
Blair's Party
Darcy walked in the Van der Woodsen's totally regretting telling her sister that she'd help with Blair's bridal shower.
"Darcy sweetheart" Lily said "Thank you for helping with the party."
"Um yeah."
"I know it being Blair's party doesn't really excite you."
"Can you tell?"
"How are you and Charles?"
"We're amazing" she smiled "In fact I'm skipping Blair's party to spend some time with him."
"Romantic."
"Excuse me" a guy said coming in "I'm looking for someone named Ivy."
"She's probably with the caters" Lily said.
"What do you need me to do Lily?" Darcy asked.
"I think people here call her Charlie but I've always known her as Ivy Dickens?"
Charlie walked into the room and they all turned to her.
"Charlie help us out here" Lily said.
"Please do" Darcy asked.
"Okay" Charlie said. "I never wanted to have to tell you this, but…for some time now, I've been pretending to be… Ivy Dickens"
"Huh?" the guy said.
"I don't understand?" Lily said.
"That actually makes sense" Darcy said and they looked at her "Oh please I couldn't have been the only girl with an Alias"
Charlie smiled at her.
"My mom never wanted me to grow up with the burden of the Rhodes name. She claimed it ruined her whole life. People made all kinds of assumptions about her, used her for her money. She just never wanted that to happen to me. So she made me change my name"
"Not what I was expecting" Darcy replied putting a hand on Charlie's shoulder.
"And you know what. I was happy to because…then…I knew people like you, Max really liked me for me. You just never know who you can trust or what people's true motives are. You know?"
"I knew your mother was behind this. This is just classic Carol" Lily said hugging Charlie.
"I'm gonna leave you guys to this." Darcy said then hugged Charlie "If you need to talk, please text me"
"Thank you Darcy."
Darcy headed back to the Empire. She walked in spotting Dan and Chuck watching The Matrix.
"Are we high?" she asked.
"Ellis" Chuck said kissing her as two ladies stood in the doorway to Nate's room
"Do I wanna know?"
"They're for Dan" he replied.
"Fun" she replied.
"Are you heading back to the party?" Chuck asked standing up and kissing her.
"I thought maybe we could have a romantic evening in" she said.
"You should go" he said "Plus I'm babysitting"
"I see that"
"Go have fun." He replied kissing her cheek.
"Fine, have fun babysitting" she said then turned to Dan "Bye Dan"
"Bye Darcy" Dan said
Later at the Party Serena made her speech about Blair and it made Darcy a little sad. It reminded her of Brooke and all the beautiful things she would've said about her. She spotted Charlie and walked over.
"So the guy from earlier?"
"He went home."
"He was cute."
"Yeah but were over."
"Bummer" she said then spotted Dan walking in "Um if you'll excuse me?"
She grabbed her phone and dialed Chuck.
"Hey Ellis, I wish I could talk but I'm looking for…"
"Um Daniel Humphrey?"
"Yeah, how'd…"
"He's here"
"Already there" he said and she looked over to the elevators to see him walking in. She hung up and pointed Chuck in the right direction but Louis was hot on his tail. She walked over.
They got Dan and headed downstairs then outside and onto the steps.
"Do you have him?" Darcy asked Chuck.
"Yes, go back and have fun"
"Rumor has it that Gossip Girls sources were released. No one's having fun there. Poor Blair"
"Ellis"
"Let me help you with boozy here."
"Boozy?" Dan asked.
"Why did you antagonized Blair at her own wedding shower?" Chuck asked Dan.
"You said take action so I was. But it didn't work" Dan said.
"Let's be clear. I told you to get some ass not be one."
"Oh my god!" Darcy said realizing something.
"What?" Dan said.
"You're…oh my god! That makes so much sense now."
"What?"
"You're in love with her" Chuck said.
"I'm…I'm…in love with Blair. No…I'm not…I'm not in love…with Blair"
"You can blame it on your tell all novel; or your status as an outsider but we both know she follows her heart. She chose Louis."
Darcy nodded and grabbed Dan's hand squeezing it.
"Let's get you home boozy" She said "You can sleep it off"
They got him to the Empire and onto the couch. Darcy laid a blanket over him ad out a glass of water on the coffee table next to it with a bottle of aspirin.
"You would've been a great mom" Chuck said behind her.
"Why do you say that?"
"Watching you take care of Humphrey as if he is a child"
"I did what needed to be done." She said then kissed him "I'm gonna head to bed"
She walked toward the bedroom when she heard the elevator ding and Blair walked in.
"Blair" she said.
"Hi Darcy. I'm sorry if I'm…"
"You're fine"
"You shouldn't be here" Chuck said glancing at Dan then back at Blair.
"You know what. I'm gonna let you two talk" Darcy said "Come on Monkey!"
Monkey followed her to the bedroom. After a while she heard the elevator ding and the bedroom door open. He climbed into bed next to Darcy and kissed her forehead.
"I love you Darcinda Ellis" he said and she smiled.
