"Isn't loves young dream beautiful?" Blair sighed, watching new couple glide across the dance floor.
"Yes, the new Mr and Mrs Baker really do add something to the whole room."
"Don't be so silly Chuck, I mean the other new couple." Blair indicated the two blondes she had been watching intently.
"Ah yes your little project. That explains the huge smile you've had on your face for the past few weeks."
"I can't help it if I managed to orchestrate a union that brings smiles to both my best friend's faces."
"You could have fooled me by the way you forced Serena out of the limo at Sassy's party. I thought you'd given up on the entire plan"
"Dear god no." Blair sipped on her drink as she turned to her boyfriend. "If you prevent either of those from getting what they want then they just want it more." She smiled, proud of herself and her amazing plotting abilities. "I was merely the catalyst behind the best decision those two ever made."
Chuck raised his eyebrow as he followed Nate and Serena's path around the dance floor. "I'm not sure you can be accounted for forcing your friends to like each other."
"Chuck, I'm Blair Waldorf; I can do anything if I put my mind to it."
"What are you planning now?" Serena appeared, hand in hand with Nate. "It best not involve Jenny, she's having enough trouble with the mean girls at Constance."
"Oh S, that shows how much you know. When it comes to little Humphrey I am behind her 100%."
"So what's the big plan then?"
"I'm sorry but I cannot divulge that information. What I can achieve when I put my mind to it is my concern."
"Well I hope that what ever you're planning isn't illegal."
Blair smiled up at Serena, showing her pearly white teeth that prompted a frown from Serena. "When have I ever committed any illegal acts?"
"Well…" Serena began, before she was cut off by a wave from Blair.
"S, do you hear the song being played?"
"Saturday night?"
"Yes!" Blair jumped up from her seat and grabbed Serena's hand. "Come on, it's tradition!"
Serena grinned as any thoughts about Blair's plots disappeared from her mind. They turned to the boys who tried to sink into their chairs. Their attempts proving useless as they were pulled to the dance floor.
Fuelled by several glasses of champagne and row of shots they'd done not long ago, the girls attempted the famous dance. Stood in between two of the new Mrs Baker's aunts they managed to look almost sober as they fudged their way through. The guys took this opportunity to slip back to their seats.
"How is it that no matter how drunk we get, the girls still can't realise that we don't do organised dancing."
"I know, do the Macarena once when you're ten and they think that you want to do it at every wedding after that."
"We should really be grateful that they're still half sober. I give them three more drinks each before they start their cat fight."
"Well whatever it is they argue about it won't be as entertaining as the one they had at Lily's last wedding."
"I think I still have the scars from that fight."
"Chuck I did warn you not to try and break them up." Nate indicated to the mark on Chuck's hand. "Blair really took a chunk out didn't she?"
"Indeed. The things we do in the name of love."
Nate watched the girls for a second before turning back to Chuck. "Why do they fight at weddings?"
"Because according to the six year old Serena there's always a fight at a wedding."
Nate nodded as he reached for the jug of water in the middle of the table.
"I must say her logic as a child was top notch."
They grinned at the memories of the fights the girls had staged over the years.
Something about the way they smiled prompted Blair to stop dancing and turn to Serena across the room.
"The boys are talking about us again."
"So? They usually do."
"It's disturbing me. I can't dance when people are watching."
"Maybe we should give them something to watch."
Blair stared at Serena, confusion etched across her features. As Serena wiggled her eyebrows at Blair she gasped in acknowledgement. "Do you mean instigating our favourite form of wedding entertainment?"
Serena nodded excitedly. "Right here on the dance floor. We should start small to begin with."
"You feel like being kicked out tonight? Because I'm not sure how long I can stick out this party."
"Yeah, last time we only got told to sit on separate sides of the room."
"That's because it was your own mother's wedding. This time we can be creative."
They nodded simultaneously before Blair placed her hands on Serena's chest and pushed her slightly.
"How dare you! He was my ex boyfriend!"
"God Blair you've moved on how many times do I need to tell you?" Serena shoved Blair back.
"Can't you manage to pick up men that I haven't been involved with?"
"Well I would if there were any left!"
Blair tried not to laugh as she pulled Serena into a headlock. "Am I hurting you?" She whispered.
Serena shook her head imperceptibly to those watching the fight.
Chuck and Nate stood up as they saw what everyone was looking at. They snorted in laughter as Serena attempted to swipe at Blair's leg with her own.
The girls attracted the attention of the security hired by the Bakers. They cleared half the dance floor as they dragged Blair and Serena off each other. The guys could only watch as the two girls were carried out of the room. Without another word they followed the path of the security.
Once they reached the foyer they found Blair and Serena high fiving each other.
"Impressive ladies, by far the best fight I've seen in a while."
"I hope you picked up our bags, because we fully intend to leave for somewhere more exciting."
"I don't really think you have a choice about whether or not you can stay anyway." Chuck handed Blair back her bag. "So perhaps we should all go whilst the night is still young."
Serena grinned as she slipped her arm through Nate's. "I think Blair and I deserve several drinks for our fantastic performance."
"And a burger. Wedding food is never satisfying enough." Blair headed out of the doors into the night. With a shrug Chuck followed her.
"Is that our cue to leave too?"
The blondes grinned at each other before running out of the doors and following Chuck and Blair as they walked down the street to the nearest fast food place.
As Chuck ordered four large meals the other three took a seat in one of the empty booths. The other patrons of the restaurant stared at the well dressed four. Serena waved at a group of teenage girls as they pulled out camera phones. Blair giggled and posed for the juvenile paparazzi, pulling Serena towards her and pouting for the camera.
"I can just read the blast now." Chuck stated as he set the tray of food down. "'Spotted, everyone's favourite four slumming it in the grease and squalor of a burger joint.'"
Serena laughed as she picked up a handful of chips. "'What's that we see B and S with messy hair? Group sex anyone?'"
"Do you really think she'd jump to that conclusion?" Blair asked as she sipped on the strawberry milkshake Chuck handed her.
"She'd jump to any conclusion that sounds as far fetched as she can think of."
Nate smirked as their phones went off, revealing a blast that suggested Serena and Blair were closer than two best friends ever should be.
"Now I don't think anyone expected that."
"It is an interesting idea though, you do have to admit." Chuck grinned at the two girls.
Blair grimaced, launching a chip at her boyfriend's head. "You do realise that's like mental incest."
"And mental lesbianism." Serena added with a shake of her head.
Nate sniggered as he watched the three friends contemplate each other's demise. He picked up his burger and took a huge bite out of it.
Now here was his favourite wedding tradition summed up in one cheap meal. Burgers and bitching ended any good socialite wedding.
