"I don't know how to sew." Serena remarked.
"No, I mean I need a suggestion of what Blair might be looking for." I replied. "You know her better than anyone, and I haven't even seen her line."
"It's based on the uniform that we wore." Serena explained. What? I would have to see this.
"Do you have pictures by any chance?" I asked.
Serena then proceeded to take out her iPad and pull up some pictures from the launch. I can't believe that Blair actually designed a line based on a school uniform. Even more incredulous was the fact that the clothes looked amazing.
"Okay, so this doesn't really help me." I admitted.
"Well you've always had a talent for coming up with something from nothing." Dan told me. "The only advice that I have for you is go for some color. Spring is coming up after all."
I rolled my eyes. I would have to go by the fabric store later. I bet that they were going to be surprised to see me again too. I was probably going to the Manhattan one as opposed to the Brooklyn one. I wonder if I should wear the dress make or just bring it in.
"You know I wouldn't mind you designing my wedding dress someday." Serena mused.
"Are you two engaged?" I asked in surprise.
"No." The two of them answered simultaneously.
"I mean when I do get married, whether that is to Dan or someone else." Serena replied.
"I know my brother would be an idiot to let you marry someone else." I remarked.
"Well, I am definitely not an idiot." Dan stated. "However, I don't think we need to rush into marriage like Chuck and Blair did, which we know only happened because they were pretty much forced."
"So, I should probably get going. I have a lot of work to do." I announced.
I went out to the near the fabric store and I decided that I would get a coffee first. It was a good thing that I decided to because I happened to see someone that I very much wanted to see.
"So we meet again." I commented as I walked up to him outside.
"Well that's what happens when we live in the same city." Nate replied.
"I guess you better used to seeing a lot more of me then." I responded. "So are you by yourself?"
"No, I'm actually with my girlfriend." He answered. Before I could say anything, a girl with short black hair walked out of the café.
"Oh my god: are you really here?" The girl asked. "The Jenny Humphrey?"
"That's me." I replied, not knowing who the hell I was talking to.
"Jenny, this is my girlfriend, Sage." Nate introduced.
"I'm sorry if I sound starstruck, but I grew up idolizing you." Sage explained. Okay, that was kind of creepy. I also didn't know that I had fans. Something about her just made me not like her at all.
"It's nice to meet you." I lied.
"So what are you doing back in New York?" Sage asked me.
"I came back to see my family and see if I could get a job. I can't stay and chat. I have to go next and get some fabric for a new dress that I'm making." I replied. I guess I wouldn't be having coffee.
"Do you need any help?" Nate asked.
"I didn't peg you as the type to know anything about clothes." I quipped.
"I mean do you think that you'll need any help carrying things." Nate offered. He's so hot when he is chivalrous.
"I guess you can help." I stated. I looked at Sage. "That is if you don't mind me borrowing him, of course."
I was going to play fair this time. Sabotage was not very becoming of me.
"Sure." Sage replied.
I wasn't actively trying to steal her man. I wonder if she would break up with him if I asked. That actually seems like a Blair thing to do. I am not Blair and I am not the same girl that I was in high school. I definitely wasn't my freshman self, though I still had the same design skills. I don't know what I even had to be afraid of. Blair was going to love what I make.
"So why are you taking a break from your girlfriend to hang out with me?" I asked as we entered the store.
"Because I only have one weekend to hang out with you." He remarked. "We used to be really good friends."
"Yeah and then you kissed me." I pointed out.
"Actually I kissed you before we became friends." He countered. "I kissed you before I even knew who you were because you look eerily similar to Serena from the back."
"So, what are you going to do now that you've got your paper off the guard with the 'article of the century'?" I questioned.
"Well, unfortunately, I can't just ride that one article." He declared. "I have to keep going and getting more big stories. I at least want to be as big as The New York Post."
"Well I will do that interview." I reiterated as I browsed the racks. "I probably won't have time to do it this weekend, but we can do it over Skype when I get back to school. Dan threw you a bone. Now it's my turn."
"So Bart's wake is tomorrow." He stated. "I don't know if you were interested, but I thought that you should know in case you decide to go."
"Well it seems like I've seen everyone but Chuck since coming back and that would probably be a good place to find him." I remarked. "I probably won't be the other girl besides his wife that I slept with there…okay that sounded a lot better before it came out of my mouth."
"Well Blair really changed Chuck. She made him fall in love and that's pretty special." Nate replied. "I wouldn't have suspected it. I grew up thinking I'd marry her and Chuck would start his own porn company."
"Well I've got all that I need right now." I told him before I went to register and paid for everything. "So do you wanna help me get all of this stuff in the cab? I don't need a ride."
"Sure." He answered.
The next day, I walked into my old home with my family where the wake was being held. I actually decided that I would wear the dress that I made, metaphorically killing two birds with one stone.
"What's Dr. Vee Dubs doing here?" I whispered to Dan.
"I don't know." Dan whispered back. "He's probably here to comfort his ex-wife."
I then noticed someone that I wasn't expecting to see.
"Eric?" I asked before I hugged him. "What are you doing here? Okay, you don't have to answer that, but I didn't know you were coming."
"I got in this morning." He told me. "Why did you come here?"
"Dan." I replied.
"Don't I ask get a hug?" Chuck asked. I went over and gave him one. "It's good to see you here, Jennifer."
"It's good to see you, Charles." I responded. "Congratulations. So is your wife around? I need to show her the dress that I made."
"I heard you were wanting to work for her after you finish the semester." He replied. "She's over by the bar at the moment."
I walked over the bar and found Blair. I hoped that she wasn't too tipsy to provide me with feedback.
"What do you think?" I asked as I showed off my red satin dress.
"I think we need to talk more about having your line." Blair replied. "I don't think I should let you just walk right in and have your own line. That's not to say I won't give it to you, but I think it would be good to wait. You are hired, though."
I smiled as I looked over at Nate, who was here was again with Sage.
"You're not over him, are you?" Blair asked. "Well if it's going to be Serena and your brother and me and Chuck, it might as well be you and Nate. That's how I always thought everything would go before that tramp Vanessa went and ruined everything. Well she's gone now."
I didn't have a problem with her speaking ill of Vanessa. She used to be my friend, but I had deleted her from my life just Dan had.
"I'm not going to do what I did before." I remarked as I noticed Jack Bass making out with Georgina. I didn't know what to say about that, so I'll just ignore it.
"Well Chuck and I are having a wedding reception tonight. You should come." Blair declared. "Nate will be there."
"Sure." I replied.
So Jenny will be working at Waldorf and also found out that she has a fangirl. So what is going to happen at the party. There will be singing that reveals some feelings.
