AN: I haven't decided how long I'll make this one yet. Review =)

"Are you ready for your bridal party?"

"That was last week. Bachelorette party is tonight."

"Can't you just skip that." Dan made a sad face.

"You wanted this wedding to happen within a month and a half, so that's means I have to do everything fast."

"Well, I'm just going out to dinner with my dad and Erik. Maybe Chuck might stop by and say a few words I don't understand."

"Yes, and I'm going to dinner with Jenny and my friend Lisa. Then a few girls are meeting us for drinks. No strippers, well atleast in my bed." Tiffany laughed as Dan tickled her. "I invited Serena and Blair liked you asked."

"They said no?"

"They said they'll see if they can fit me in."

"Well, you asked."

"I asked cause you wanted me to. I asked Serena to be a bridesmaid cause you asked. She just doesn't want to be apart of this. I don't blame her."

"But she has to."

"No. She's a big girl, and I get that she doesn't want to be in her ex's wedding. I wouldn't."

"I'm extending an olive branch."

"Why must you always seek her approval?"

"We didn't end things in the best way. I need to know that things aren't awkward."

"Then you talk to her. If you keep making me do it she'll hate me even more. I'm all for you being friends, but don't make me the third wheel." Tiffany kissed Dan's cheek and walked out of the room.

Dan stared at his phone for about an hour. He occasionally flipped it open, as if he was acutally going to do something, but he just couldn't. He couldn't bare to open himself up again. Not like last time. He finally got over his fear and dialed. He prayed it would go to voice mail but Serena picked up.

"Hey Dan."

"Hey Serena. How are you?"

"Good. Buying a new dress."

"For tonight?"

"Oh, yea. Me and Blair will stop by."

"That's good. I want you two as friends, you know."

"Oh, I think we'll get there. Mind if you crash your dinner too?"

"Sure why?"

"There's something I want to say face to face."

"Should I be worried?"

"No Dan. You'll be happy. I promise." Serena quickly hungup.

Serena and Blair eyed up the bar. They searched for Tiffany and her friends. Serena wanted to get in and out fast. Once she was done she'd go to the restaurant and meet up with Dan. She'd give Tiffany her present and then leave her totally speechless. She finally found Tiffany and walked right over to her.

"Serena! You came."

"I wouldn't miss this for the world."

"I'm glad."

"I mean, I just wanted to give you a gift. Then I have to go."

"You didn't have to."

"Oh but I do."

From the crowd emerged a 5'8 man with short brown hair. He wore designer clothes and walked like he owned the room. Tiffany's jaw dropped down in to the floor. Her eyes were like daggers going into Serena's side. She should of known better than to tell Serena anything.

"I believe you know Mark."

"Hi Tiffany."

"What are you doing here?"

"I came for you. Serena told me what you said."

"How you still loved him."

"No I loved him, past tense. You know, like you loved Dan."

"I'd love to meet Dan. Tell him about us."

"Dan knows about you. I left you for Dan."

"Yea but does he know eveything?" Mark traced the outline of Tiffany's chest with his finger.

"How could you do this to me Serena? I thought you were done with high school games." Tiffany ran off and Mark followed her. Her put his hands on her hip and she pushed him away. Serena left them both screaming at each other.

"Dan! I made it."

"Tiffany has called my cell 5 times. Anything wrong."

"When I left her she was fine."

"Should I pick up? One of the rules is to not talk during our parties right."

"Yes. And you should respect the rules or else marriage will be rocky for you two."

"I guess I'll call her back when we're done."

Dan and Serena talked for about an hour. Rufus and Erik had already left. They spent the time laughing and telling old stories. Things only got awkward once when Serena mentioned a time they had sex in the back of Dan's car during a road trip. Tiffany stormed in and threw her bag on the floor. Her face was all red. All she did was shake her head at Serena.

"What's worng?"

"Ask Serena. She knows everything."

"Tiffany don't act like a child."

"She bought Mark here."

Dan eyes pierced Serena. He separated his lips. He grabbed Serena's arm and dragged her to the back room. He closed the curtain. He paced for about 40 seconds before finally speaking. The first sentence camed out all high pitched and loud. He tried to find his words again.

"How could you do this?"

"I was protecting you."

"How? By totally shattering my finacee?"

"You needed to know the truth."

"Truth is, Mark cheated on Tiffany, with her best friend. Something you two have in common. She stayed with him even though he hit her once. Then she found me and she wasn't scared anymore."

"Dan, I...."

"Didn't know? Shocker. Maybe if you actually paid attention to her you'd know."

"You want the truth Dan. You belong with me, not her. I love you. I've always been in love with you. I can't stop."

Serena grabbed Dan's face and smacked her lips against his. Dan tried to pull away, but his body just fell into Serena. Her put his hand over her cheek and turned his face to devour her lips. Tiffany pulled the curtain back and saw them kissing. Her body froze with fear. He quickly caught her breath and shut the curtain. She felt her heart break in a million pieces.

Spotted: Tiffany checking into the Heartbreak hotel. Poor Tiff, don't you know Serena van der Woodsen always gets her man.
