"Babe, pick a night

To come out and play

If it's alright

What do you say?

Merrier the more

Triple fun that way

Twister on the floor

What do you say?"

"Never have I ever slept with Carter Baizen." Chuck said and turned to face Serena.

Serena sipped her drink as she glared at Chuck. She would yell at him later.

"You have to drink, Blair." She replied softly trying to change the focus from her.

Her lips were tense as she still focused on Serena. "Actually, no I don't. We haven't slept together." Chuck smiled triumphantly.

"Yet." She added and watched his face fall.

"Has to be hard knowing Serena was there first." Chuck said poking the blade in further.

"Shut up Chuck" Serena yelled as Carter yelled a version with more profanities.

"Maybe we should play a different game." Serena suggested not liking the direction the game had gone.

"You know, I always loved truth or dare." Blair said remembering the fun she had always had with the juvenile game.

Serena nodded her head. Carter and Chuck would willingly go along with any of her plans.

"So S, truth or dare?" She asked her friend.

Serena hesitated for a moment weighing her options. Seeing how reckless Blair was being with alcohol she wasn't sure what she was openly getting herself into. Better be safe than sorry.

"Truth."

"That's no fun." Blair pouted as she thought of an acceptable question to ask.

"What happened between you and Carter?" Blair asked.

On her side she could feel as Carter tensed at the question, but it was the perfect way for Blair to confront the situation and move on. She had known there had been something between Carter and Serena, unfortunately Chuck had already gotten them to admit they had slept together.

All eyes were on Serena as they waited for her response.

"We slept together once a few years ago. We were both pretty drunk. It didn't mean anything." Serena told her honestly.

Chuck cursed under his breath. He had hoped the confession would cause more drama and push Blair away from Carter.

"And that's it?" Blair asked forgetting about the game momentarily.

"I promise, B. It was never more than that."

Carter took her hand in his and used his thumb to draw circles on the back of her hand. He was thankful Serena had decided to be honest with Blair.

"Still, Blair, that's twice know isn't it?" Chuck asked feigning innocence. When Blair wrinkled her forehead in confusion he elaborated, "Nate and now Carter."

"Let it go, Chuck." Serena threatened. Chuck shrugged his shoulders as if unaware that he was causing trouble.

"Make sure to keep tabs on who Serena has a one-night-stand with, Waldorf," Chuck said to her as he ruthlessly continued," because it appears her leftovers seem to have great potential as boyfriends for you."

"Enough." Carter demanded.

"Well Chuck, I guess that's how we should have known you couldn't work out with Blair." Serena told him. "If you have to sleep with me to be Blair's boyfriend, I guess you'll never get that opportunity." She added as she stood up and grabbed her purse to leave.

"I'm sorry Blair, I think I've had enough for one night" She nodded a goodbye to the couple and glared at Chuck before leaving.

"Well, Chuck, you sure do have an affect on people," Carter told him as he finished the rest of his bourbon.

Blair had remained silent through Chuck's outburst. She knew what he was trying to do but she wouldn't let him upset her tonight. She was going to have fun tonight.

"I guess I'll have to take over for Serena," Blair smiled as she looked at Chuck.

"Truth or Dare?" She asked even though she already knew what the answer would be.

"Dare." Chuck replied with his smirk.

Blair's smile brightened.

"See that blonde at the bar?" Blair asked. Chuck followed his gaze until he spotted a young female who was a bit too trashy for his taste and she was popping her gum loudly. He nodded to Blair.

"Bring us back her gum so you can stop her annoying gum popping." She demanded.

Chuck frowned when he realized what she meant.

"You don't expect me to kiss her, Blair, that's so childish."

"Can't do it?" Carter taunted.

Chuck looked Blair in the eyes as he accepted, "Fine. I'll do it."

If she wanted to play this game he would do it for her because he would do anything to get her back.

Carter and Blair watched as Chuck approached the blonde. It didn't take long- a few words and the blonde was begging for his attention.

Before long, Chuck had his tongue down her throat and then left her before she even realized what was going on.

"Hey?" the blonde yelled after Chuck. "Where are you going?" Chuck ignored her cries as he returned to the table. He spit the disgusting piece of gum into an empty glass.

"Done." He said as he looked at her. "Your turn."

"Dare." Blair replied although she was nervous as to what he would come up with.

Chuck smiled knowing she would choose dare. Blair always believed selecting truth put you into a place of vulnerability- it was better to keep your cards hidden than do something you didn't want to.

"Have lunch with me tomorrow."

Blair rolled her eyes. "No. That's not a dare, that's just pathetic."

"Can't handle an hour alone with me?" Chuck challenged her.

"Fine, but I hope you understand how pitiable you look right now." Blair told him as Carter laughed beside her.

"Laugh as much as you want, Carter, I still have a date with her tomorrow."

"Bass, let me explain a date to you the girl has to be willing. For example, " He began as he turned his attention to Blair, "Would you give me the pleasure of your company tomorrow?" He asked Blair as she smiled brightly.

"I would love to Carter."

"Can we get back to the game?" Chuck asked trying to interrupt their moment.

"Sure." Blair asked as she placed a kiss on Carter's cheek. "Truth or Dare, Chuck."

"See Blair, you always liked playing with me the most." He smirked. "Dare." He added.

"Go back to the blonde." Blair began and Chuck's face fell. His rude refusal of her after he kissed her would make anything impossible. "And bring back her panties."

"You can't be serious." Chuck said with a look of disgust.

"Something the great Chuck Bass can't handle?" Blair asked with a look of triumph.

"Hardly." Chuck said. He grabbed his Scotch and finished it in one quick drink. He shuddered slightly at what he was about to do.

As soon as Chuck was out of earshot, Blair turned to Carter mischievously, "Let's go back to my place and continue our own game."

"You read my mind, Waldorf." Carter told Blair as he helped her out of her. "Do you have a special dare in mind for me?" He asked her flirtatiously.

"Actually, I do." She told him making his grin increase. "Do you still have your dealer on speed-dial?" She asked as innocently as if she was asking the time.

"What?" He asked a bit surprised.

"LSD, GHB, Coke- I've never tried anything. I want to do everything I have missed out on." Blair confessed excitedly as they left the club.

When she looked at the expression of his face her enthusiasm had died down.

"You aren't going to give me the don't do drugs speech now, are you? It's a bit hypocritical don't you think?"

Carter chose his words carefully, "It's not that I want to keep you from doing anything, it's just that some of those drugs are pretty hardcore. Why don't we start with something a little less intense like salvia or weed?" He asked compromising.

Truthfully he wanted Blair to stay far away from drugs. He had seen how people had reacted; he himself had gone through it. But, pot wasn't dangerous. She could handle that.

Blair nodded in agreement, but her thoughts were interrupted when her cell phone rang.

"Who is it?" Carter asked curiously.

"My mother." She whispered.

A/N Thanks for any feedback.

The last couple of chapters have been kind of carefree but the story still has to focus on Blair finding herself.
