Chapter 3:
It was 7: 00 and Dan Humphrey had to get ready, because Serena had said to him that this was a special event that they do sometimes and that he needed to dress nicely. Rufus Humphrey knocked on the door.
Rufus:(smiles) Why are you all dressed up?
Dan: because Serena said that her friends are going to do this ritual thing so that I can be an official Upper East Sider.
Rufus: Oh, and what does that benefit for you?
Dan: Well, let's see I can go to any Upper East party I want and I'm an Upper East Boy after the ritual.
Rufus: here, us the car.
Dan: Really?
Rufus: Yes, but don't scratch it.
Dan: Thanks Dad.
Dan went out side to the garage and opened the door to his Dad's new car, BMW. You might be wondering how Rufus Humphrey got the car, well an unlike ex girlfriend gave it to him. Who was the ex? It was none other than S's mom.
Dan turns the car on and drives over to Blair's house.
Meanwhile, Serena was nervous that Dan won't be able to make it.
Blair: If he can find this hotel in about a minute then I'm really going to be impressed.
The door swang open and it was 7:25pm.
Dan: Let's get the ritual started.
Isabel:(surprised) how did you know this was the hotel?
Dan: because it was the only large building that I saw.
Kati: first part of the ritual, you have to do ten push ups…
Dan: that should be easy.
Isabel: With Blair and Serena on your back with big books on their laps.
Dan: Okay?
Dan bent down to a ready position for a push up. Then Blair and Serena walked over and sat on his back with the big books in their lap.
Dan: one…(breathed heavily)…two…(breathed heavily)…
Serena: You can do it, Dan. I believe in you.
Since Serena was on his upper back, she leaned over and held his shirt and kissed him on the cheek.
Dan smiles
Dan: three…(breathed heavily)…four…five…six..seven…( breathed heavily)…eight…nine…TEN!!
Blair and Serena got off of Dan.
Serena:(proud) You did it!!
Serena hugs Dan.
Dan lifts her up and spins her around.
Blair clears her throat.
Dan puts Serena down.
Blair: Dan, I'm impressed. You can keep impressing me more throughout this ritual. The next part is…lift up your shirt.
Dan looks at Serena.
Serena mouthed "to check if you have abs and are qualified to be one of the It Girls' boys."
Dan lifts his shirt half way.
Blair: Isabel, Kati check.
Isabel and Kati went over to Dan and touched his stomach.
Isabel: Oh my gosh his abs feels like Nate's.
Kati: Its almost like Nate's.
Blair: That's impossible, Nate is the only one that suppose to pass a test like this. I got to go check for myself.
Blair went over and touched it.
Blair: Isabel, Kati you guys are right. Note to self: this feels so wrong touching another guy's stomach.
They all let go.
Isabel: He pass the 2nd part.
Dan put his shirt down.
Kati: now, his arms.
Kati touched it.
Kati: passed.
Blair: Dan, you have officially passed the ritual.
Serena hugs Dan.
Dan: I'm an Upper East Boy now?
Isabel nods
Dan: Come on, Serena. Let's go out and eat something.
Dan picks up Serena in a bride style and opened the door.
Kati, Blair and Isabel laughs
Outside
Serena: I can't believe you passed the test.
Dan: I thought the test would be really hard.
Serena: Who's car is this?
Dan: Its my dad's.
Serena: nice.
Serena touches the car.
Dan walks behind of Serena and wraps his arms around her waist. Dan was breathing heavily and it gave Serena this warm feeling that she was safe with Dan. Serena touched the side of Dan's face. He smiles at Serena and Serena smiles back at him. Serena turns to face Dan. Dan, being brave wraps his arms around Serena and kisses her on the forehead. Serena closes her eyes knowing that if she opens it she going to do something she is about to regret.
Serena :( smiles) Let's get into the car.
Dan opens the door for Serena to go in the passenger seat.
Inside the car
Dan looks at Serena and Serena looks at Dan. He grabs Serena's hand. Serena looks at his hand hold hers and smiles knowing that this relationship will last forever. He leans forward to give her kiss on the cheek. Then, he drives on.
Meanwhile, Jenny was at Easy's house watching TV with him. His arms were around her and landed at the couch. Jenny stops watching TV and looks at Easy. She smiles at him and she is glad that she is dating Easy and that he told his mom that he was going to move to Manhattan so he can be with Jenny. Jenny leans forward and lands her head on his chest. Easy slides his arms around her waist.
Easy:(softly) Are you cold?
Jenny: No, not really.
Easy: Okay. I just don't want you to get sick. Because if my Jenny get sick then I'll stay by her side the whole entire time and take care of her.
Jenny: Aww, you're too sweet.
