Hey guys! Thanks so much for reviewing! Yeah, the five years later thing kind of sucks, but I wanted to build off of the story they had given us, however crappy it turned out to be. I too craved for Dair so I am writing this!
XOXO,

Hey Upper East Siders… Gossip Girl here. Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite…
Spotted: S headed to Brooklyn. Is she trying to rekindle things with her ex-hubby Humphrey? Or is she trying to destroy Dan?
"Serena, what are you doing here?" Dan was shocked to see Serena at the loft. They hadn't even spoken in the past few weeks. "Oh, I just came to say hello." Dan looked at her sternly. "Um… Serena Van der woodsen doesn't come all the way to Brooklyn just to say hello. What do you want?"
Serena looked serious now. "Okay, look. Since I've started working at the Spectator again, I've been working on this story with Nate-"
"Gossip Girl." Dan said. "You want to know about Gossip Girl. Well I honestly don't have much to tell you. You already know what's worth knowing."
"Okay, well, tell me what you think isn't worth knowing. Anything could help. Tell it from the beginning. How she contacted you, why she contacted you, why you agreed to reveal yourself as Gossip Girl when you weren't. Just, rehash."
"Fine." Dan smiled. Even though he wasn't married to Serena anymore, he still cared about her as a friend. They had been friends for years and he didn't want that to stop now. "It was at the beginning of last summer. Blair had just chosen Chuck, you tricked me into having sex with you on a bar-"
"Hey, it takes two to tango mister."
"Okay granted. But anyway, our parents were getting divorced, the Upper East Side just seemed to be rejecting me and my family and turning my friends against me. I was tired of it. I was tired of being a pawn in the game of the Upper East Side. So I went to Rome, when I was contacted by Gossip Girl. She told me she had a 'Business proposition.' She said she would give me any information on anyone I wanted for the 'scathing expose' I was writing at the time, if I could steer Nate away from finding out who she truly was."
"So that's when you agreed to it?"
"No. I didn't want to help her, and I had all the information that I needed. I thought that she deserved to be revealed. She left me alone for a while, but then she stepped it up. I was still in love with Blair at the time," Serena raised an eyebrow, "and Gossip Girl knew that. She said she would reveal all of Blair's diary pages if I didn't cover for her."
"Wait… so, you convinced your family and friends, including Blair, that you were one of the most influential bloggers in the city because you didn't want her diary pages to get released?"
"Well, sort of, I has it typed up when Gossip Girl told me that she had gotten a tip about the wedding. She said if I didn't reveal myself that she would post it. So I gave it to Nate."
"Oh my gosh. Does Blair know this?"
"Just the thing about the diary, and I'd prefer it's kept that way. At least for a while." Serena looked suspicious. "Do you still have feelings for Blair?" She asked.
"What? No!" This wasn't true. He just didn't want Serena to know about his internal conflict at this moment.
"Okay… well, did she give you any hints on who she was?"
"No, none. She just talked with me through her XOXO44 account"
"Okay. Well I'm gonna get going. Thanks for your help Dan."
"See ya."
Serena walked out the door, but her words stuck in Dan's head. Do you still have feelings for Blair? Kept going through his head like a skipping record.
