A/N: I want to thank everyone who reviewed the last chapter. You guys rock! I've had this on my computer since I last updated but I didn't post it because I was planning on adding more. But that didn't happen so I'll try and make it up to you in the next chapter.

Chapter 7 – Every Night Is Another Story

Blair Waldorf glared at the three boys sat on her bedroom floor. Nate and Sam had arrived at hers not long after Brooke and Chuck had left, with an assortment of alcohol. Blair was all up for having fun, but getting drunk on a school night wasn't her style. When she invited the boys round she figured they'd order pizza and watch a couple of movies while waiting for Brooke and Chuck to get back and spill the dinner details. But of course, Nate, Dean and Sam had other plans. These plans led to Dean, Nate and Sam being sprawled out on her bedroom floor drunk, playing poker while she lay on her bed trying to watch 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'.

"Will you three shut up already? I'm trying to watch the movie!"

"Don't be such a party pooper Blair! We're having fun...you should try it sometime." Sam replied with a lazy smile on his face. Blair rolled her eyes and dropped her head into her hands.

"God, I bet Brooke's having more fun with the Bass' than I am here."

Meanwhile...

Chuck placed a hand on Brooke's arm, ready to hold her back in case she decided to jump Serena right there and then. By the look on Serena's face, Chuck could tell she was thinking the same thing.

"Brooke, Charles I'm sure you know Serena van der Woodsen. This is her younger brother Eric and mother Lilly."

It was obvious from Bart's cheerful tone that he couldn't sense the tension...or rage. Chuck glanced at Brooke just in time to see her fake smile reappear.

"It's nice to meet you both. Isn't it Charles?" Brooke informed them as she elbowed him in the ribs, due to the fact he seemed unable to speak because of the shock.

"A pleasure." Chuck nodded. He walked toward the chair nearest Eric and pulled it out for Brooke. There was no way in hell he was going to sit her near Serena. After the two Bass men had seated themselves, Bart ordered a bottle of champagne; Brooke never breaking the cold stare she had aimed at Serena.

"So Brooke, how do you like Manhattan?" Lilly asked giving her a warm smile.

"I like it. It's different than what I'm used to, but I've got Blair and Chuck and a great bunch of friends. School's not so bad either." The waiter soon turned up with the champagne; Brooke, Serena and Chuck downed there's as soon as they got it. If they were going to make it through the night, they definitely needed something stronger.

"SAMUEL WINCHESTER GET THE HELL OUT OF MY UNDERWEAR DRAW!" Blair shrieked as she jumped off of her bed causing Sam to jump and slam the draw shut. Nate and Dean laughed at Sam's failed sneakiness, while pouring themselves another drink. "I'd expect that from Dean not you!"

"They told me to." Sam mumbled sitting back down on the floor. Blair glared at the other two teens for what felt like the hundredth time that night.

"You are so immature."

"Awww Blair don't be like that. We're bored!" Dean whined looking round the room.

"Go play in traffic then." Dean stuck his tongue out in response as Blair climbed back onto her bed. "NATHANIEL ARCHIBALD DON'T YOU DARE LIGHT UP IN MY BEDROOM!" Before anyone could respond, Blair's phone began to ring. Unfortunately for her, Dean was closer to it.

"Hello house of the Lord, God speaking." Dean spoke into the phone not bothering to check who was on the other end.

"Dean? What the hell?"

"BROOKIE! How's dinner?"

"Dean Winchester put Blair on the phone right now!" Dean removed the cell phone from his ear and held it out to Blair.

"She sounds pissed." Blair huffed and snatched the phone from the drunken Dean before walking out of her room.

"Thank god B! Please tell me you're coming home soon."

"Sorry we've just ordered starters." Blair groaned at Brooke's response.

"Why are you ringing then if it's not to tell me you're coming to save me from these drunken idiots?"

"It turns out we are having dinner with Serena, Eric and Lily."

"No way! Why?"

"I have no idea. No doubt we'll find out soon. Crap I gotta go Chuck's banging on the door." Blair laughed before saying her goodbyes and hanging up.

Brooke opened the restroom door to find a very annoyed Chuck.

"What are you doing? You can't leave me with them!" Brooke rolled her eyes and linked arms with Chuck.

"Sorry. Come on, let's get this over with."

The two sat back down at their table just as their starters arrived. Bart turned to Brooke and smiled.

"So Brooke how was your birthday? It was on Friday right?" Chuck shook his head not liking where this was going.

"It was great at first. I got amazing presents and the party was great," Brooke answered before turning to give Serena a hard look, "until some little witch decided to ruin it." Lily, Bart and Eric looked shocked at Brooke's outburst whereas Chuck just downed his third scotch. For the first time all night Serena spoke up.

"Brooke, can I talk to you outside please?" Both girls stood up and made there way out into the cold Manhattan night. Brooke stepped in front of Serena with her arms folded.

"Brooke I am really sorry. I had no right to do what I did."

"Damn right you didn't. Why'd you do it Serena? Did you think it'd be funny for everyone to find out why I left Tree Hill like that?"

"No Brooke I swear. I didn't know a thing, it's just...you were being a bitch so I wanted to get back at you. I figured that something had happened in Tree Hill for you to move here, so I sent the invitations to mess with you. But I swear I didn't know it'd turn out like that. I'm so sorry Brooke; I can't imagine what you went through."

Brooke sighed and nibbled on her bottom lip, not knowing what to say.

"I don't expect you to forgive me, but I want to try and make it up to you; you and Blair. Truce?" Brooke took a step forward and nodded.

"Truce. But this doesn't mean we're friends Serena...and I meant what I said, you hurt Blair and I will destroy you. Got it?" Serena nodded in acknowledgment and the two made their way back inside the restaurant.

The rest of dinner was uneventful and it seemed that Bart and Lily had decided to ignore Brooke and Serena's dramatic outburst. Chuck was just surprised they'd both entered the restaurant in one piece.

"Well, I guess it's time to tell you all exactly why we are here." Bart began, "Lilly and I are dating."

Bart and Lilly glanced at the occupants of the table to see their reactions. Brooke and Serena's mouth hung open in shock, Chuck downed his glass of champagne and ordered another scotch and Eric choked on the bit of chicken he was currently eating. No one spoke for what seemed like a life time.

"Well...don't any of you have anything to say?" Lilly asked.

"That's wonderful. I'm...very...happy for the both of you." Brooke announced.

"Yeah me too."

"Me three."

"Yeah totally."

Lilly sighed at her children's lack of enthusiasm. The group remained at the table for another three minutes worth of uncomfortable silence, before Brooke announced it was time she went home. Chuck hastily followed his friend to the limo waiting outside and the two climbed in.

"Holy crap! You're dad is dating Serena's mom!"

"I need another drink."

When Brooke and Chuck arrived back at the Waldorf residence, they were not expecting to ever see the scene in front of them.

"Jesus how much have you all had to drink?" Brooke asked as Sam passed out.

"I haven't had anything, these three...well they've had a lot." Blair answered as she turned to the new comers. "How was dinner?"

"We're going to need more alcohol before we start talking." Chuck hinted looking at the boys.

"Help yourself Bass." Dean offered pointing toward the table lined with bottles of alcohol. Walking up to Brooke, he put his arm around her shoulders before leading her to the couch. "So how was your date?" Brooke glared at Dean and thankfully took the drink Chuck offered her.

"My father is dating Lily van der Woodsen." The reaction was similar to that at the restaurant; apart from Sam's snoring. The gang spent the rest of the night discussing the new couple, Brooke's confrontation with Serena and getting drunk. None of them caring that they would more than likely be going to school the next day with extremely painful hangovers.
