Life should just be one endless summer holiday fun and relaxation. This here I decided to spend the summer holidays in the Hamptons, my plans were already made months before so the coincidence was that Dan, Jenny and Rufaus were offered to vacation at CeCe's with Eric and I. Chuck was still in New York spending some quality time finally with Blair. I was just finished with packing ready for the trip back, when I decided to finally check Gossip Girl. What?! I was bored. there was a small window of being packed and leaving.

Welcome Back Upper East Siders. After a long hot Summer away, I see it didn't take much time for you to dirty up the clean slates I gave you. My inbox is overflowing, so let's get to the good stuff shall we?

Spotted: Chuck Bass up to his old tricks. Poor B I guess nothing good lasts forever.

As for a certain leggy blonde by a Hamptons pool. Looks like Serena left big shoes to fill and someone finds them a certain fit.

But let's not forget our GG reigning Royal. Our little Phoenix was spotted showing the Hamptons who truly wears the crown, you gotta love Whitney.

"Well looks like I found it, and just in time. The car's here. Now it's time to... Get the two of you dressed?" Eric spoke

"Erick you're in my last moment of sun, dude. Scoot." he shuffled slightly to the left as I put my phone away.

"No, I'm not leaving." Jenny groaned and I smirked. Both of us had bonded much more over the summer.

"I don't think we have much choice." Eric snorted slightly

"As soon as we get in that car, it means not more beaches, bonfires and no more stalking the barefoot Contessa through the 1770 house. Our summer in the Hamptons is officially over." Jen pouted. Eric sat at the bottom of her lounger.

"So a sit in?" he wondered

"I am totally up for that. Just saying." I lazily raise my hand. That was a brilliant idea more time for extra summer time and not being bogged down by work.

"Meh, more like a lie-in. At least until the sun goes down." I caught sight of what Eric was looking at, more Serena exploits.

"Are you sure your Dad doesn't know?" Eric wondered

"Oh totally, I mean, we hid the evidence. Look, Dan doesn't know either" Jenny started

"Yeah, he's either been busy with me or Pre reading all his college books. And Jenny helped me sneak onto his laptop and disable notifications for anything regarding Serena. Did you know he has one for me. I love him but I don't know whether it's sweet or creepy. I do think it's creepy that he still has notifications for Serena though."

"But what happens when we get back to the city?"

"Then it's Serena's problem. As for now we made a promise and it's very important to keep those. Even if they were asked via drunken text from a Turkish pay as you go phone." Jenny stated and the three of us chuckled

"Besides it's not that bad. I've done a lot worse. She just doesn't want them over reacting. If someone's partying hard like that, there's usually a reason. At some point we're bound to find out what that reason is. But for now let's keep the King and Prince of slightly over judging off her tail." they nodded "I best go put on my leggings and sandals ." I lift myself up and head inside. Once I slipped the last pieces of clothing on I went out back.

"Wasn't she traveling with Nate?" Jenny asked

"We talking about Vanessa?" I question lifting my sunglasses up. My phone started ringing, I picked it up.

"My interior designer. Hello." I answered. I was having my apartment re-done for the new college me, Dan would he still in Brooklyn as well, while Jenny and Rufus moved into the VDW apartment with Eric and when Lily returned, her as well.

--------------

When we arrived back in Manhattan we entered the VDW building. Dan and I were just stopping by before returning home.

"Jenny will take Eric's room. With Chuck at the Palace, Eric will take his room." I went to pick up my mail which I had redirected here for the summer. I went to pick it up from the front desk

"Sweet. Thank you I really didn't want to sleep under Chuck's dirty Girl Scout painting." Jenny joked and I chuckled

"Rose, Dan."

"Thankfully we'll be back in Brooklyn." Dan answered as I flicked through my mail.

"And when Lily get's back we'll join you." Rufus added. I was highly skeptic that would happen. Lily was used to a way of life and Brooklyn wasn't it.

"Mr Rufas there are some packages that I couldn't put upstairs." Vanya informed the older man. The two left us.

"What's that?" Dan wondered walking over to us. Eric and Jenny shuffled something away. Ah more Serena stuff. I'm suspecting

"Recycling." Jenny thought

"What?" he grabbed the magazine "Whoa, oh my god." he flicked to the article about Serena's exploits

"It's not what you think." Eric tried to explain

"Be honest we don't know what to think." I drawled "All we know is that you and Rufus weren't supposed to see that." I took it off him "So you never did." I handed it back to Eric

"So much for eat pray love. I guess she got the love part right." Dan's phone started ringing, he answered "Hey, Vanessa. Yeah I was just about to head down there."

"Miss Serena is home." Vanya declared we looked to the front and paparazzi swarmed the newly parked limo

"I'm gonna have to reschedule." Rufus and Vanya went to help Serena back into the building.
