Serena, Blair and I were walking through the halls. Annoyed Blair was back and as best fiends we got to here everything.

"Not only are Cyrus' boxes everywhere but so are his annoying relatives." Blair huffed as we walked through the doors aiming for our lockers.

"They can't be that bad. Aaron is always talking about his Grandma." Serena replied, yeah apparently Aaron is Cyrus' son. Yay.

"Sylvia? She kissed me on the cheek. She left a big orange lipstick mark. It looked like I'd been spray tanned" I laughed shaking my head "And Cyrus' nephew spent the morning talking to me about corn grain of the future." we reached our lockers and opened them.

"And his sister asked me to go shopping with her." she continued to complain.

"Awh that's sweet." i comment

"At century 21." she retorted

"Ugh, the horror." Serena and I sassed, I get most of what she was talking about was annoying, but there was annoying and then Blair's extra emphasis on top that she made it seem life ending.

"But even though Daddy isn't coming, I am determined to have the perfect thanksgiving I didn't have last year. You two are still coming to help me with the pie though, right?"

"Yes, but only for a couple of hours. Aaron is coming to meet my family before thanksgiving dinner."

"Yes and we have to be supper supportive or else." I comment

"And how do you plan to introduce him? 'Mom you DVR big love.' This is Aaron. And he's just like Bill Paxton only younger and with a scruff. I'm serious. The Serena I know would never want to share a guy she really liked with anyone else."

"Oh, come on Blair. It's not like it's serious. He's mister I want to be original and authentic. Shy away from everything I know. Serena is I want to be different but not sacrifice my identity."

"Wow, Rose, you almost sounded nice." Serena commented

"I'll work on it. Wouldn't want you getting soft now. Oh wait you are." I sassed her, she was also Blair's best friend yet she wasn't acting like t half the time. Sometimes, I need a break. Blair as much as I love her is a bit much, hence two best friends.

"I like him enough that I don't anyone else and you can't get the prize if you don't compete right?"

"There are so many things wrong with that sentence. Ugh here comes the ghost of boyfriend present to haunt me." I looked back at Dan

"Blair, please try to be civil" I urged

"Okay"

"hey." Dan rested his hand against my lower back and kissed my cheek "Have either of you seen Jenny?" he asked Serena and Blair.

"If she's hiding from you, she has better taste than I thought." Blair sassed. I folded my arms and sighed "I tried" Blair left the three of us.

"My Dad has been calling her cell. He's been trying her friend Agnes' place and she's not returning his messages. I was looking for Eric. The headmaster said he left early, so..." he trailed off

"Well she has been spending time with him over at the apartment." Serena informed him

"If you see her, could you please tell her to call us back? I would love for this Cold War to end before the holidays. Oh and happy thanksgiving."

"You too." she left the two of us alone.

"So, seen as I'm actually spending Thanksgiving here, I was thinking at some point during the holidays we meet up and do something, just the two of us." I wrap my arms around his neck

"What were you thinking?" he wondered wrapping his arms around my waist pulling me closer.

"Something amazing. But I will be spending thanksgiving with the fam, So that is where I will be okay?" he nodded

--------

"Eric, Serena, Charles, Rosalie. We're home!" I heard Lily, I grabbed moon and made my way downstairs

"Welcome back." I greeted

"Oh, you're here. Have you seen the others?" Dad wondered

"No, I only arrived an hour ago and the place was empty. In fact, can I speak with you." He nodded and we went into his office. 

"I was thinking of investing some money." I told him

"In what?"

"Jenny Humphrey, she has a amazing future in front of her, she has designed a couple of my outfits for certain events. I was hoping that with your help I would set up a savings account for her , pay her for the dresses she's already made for me and any future commissions. But seen as I'm under 18..." I trailed off and he picked up on my train of thought.

"You need me."

"For that kind of transfer yes." I nodded he thought about it

"I think it's a good idea, I will set it up." he agreed and i beamed at him.

"Thank you, Daddy." I picked up Moon and left him to whatever he would do when I wasn't around.
