The Perfect Ending

The Bar

Serena takes Dan and her to the back bar to dry off. Both their phone's go off about the recent blast of Blair leaving The Empire.

"Huh, maybe there's hope left for me"

Serena has been trying to make him doubt everything about Blair choosing him in the slightest all night.

"Uh yeah maybe, or she's leaving to drop the heart breaking news to you"

"Well we don't kn-"

"Hey can you unzip my dress" she interrupts him.

"Dont worry im wearing a black slip up under" she says to reassure him.

"Yeah sure.."

Dan unzips her dress.

Serena excepting him to look at her taking it off, he quickly looks aways to him drying off his tux. Serena tries not to get too annoyed.

"Well... i think i'm all dry now, i'll go wait outside for Blair." Dan says about to get up

"WAIT.. Dan" she says standing infront of him.

"What Serena? What? You've been acting weird all night" he says sick of her pushing him back

"When are you going to realize Blair isnt the one for you? and will never be"

"What?"

"Lets face it. We both know Blair is always going to be in love with Chuck. Even when she says she isnt, she is. She's lying to you and herself. You cant compete"

Dan confused about where all this is coming from just says "well i want to hear it from her, okay?"

"Dan, its us. I've always love you and gave you my all"

"Are you kidding?" he laughs in disbelief.

"We're meant for each other."

"You need to let it go Serena. Its been YEARS. I've lost those feelings long ago." Dan says getting back up ready to go.

Before he could go Serena goes in for a kiss, she just brushes past his lips and he quickly pushes away.

"How drunk are you?" He says worried.

"Not enough to not know what im doing" she goes in for another try.

"SERENA, no stop. What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Ugh Dan really? you can't feel the tension between us right now?"

Dan looks back, up, and under the counter  sarcastically to see what tension she's talking about. "Tension? WHAT TENSION SERENA"

Serena pauses... "Please Dan. Its always been me."

"Serena we had our moment but thats chapter is over now. Like what the hell are you doing? What went wrong with you? The Serena i fell in love with was trying to do better. What are YOU doing? Your life is going to hell. Get your head out of highschool".

"Dan- I could change"

"No, listen, even if you did. Im not in love with you anymore. I love Blair. You just need to accept it."

Serena has a tear rolling down her cheek.

Dan takes a deep breathe, fixes his tux and pushes his hair back.

"You need to let me go, okay?"

"Dan-"

Before she can continue he was already walking out, blown away of what just happened. When walking out he bumps into Nate.

"Dan? My god couldnt recognize you with the new hair. Looking good man"

"Huh? Oh, thanks." he says with an awkward laugh pretending nothing happened.

Nate could tell something was wrong and puts his hand on Dan's shoulder. Dan comes back to reality and looks at him.

"Dude, are you okay? you look like you're going to pass out"

"Uh, yeah, no yeah. Just a crazy day."

"Yeah well i got my money that Blair will choose you."

Dan suddenly feels calm of the thought of Blair.

"Really? Even over... Chuck"

"Oh yeah, cmon. The guy who sold her or the one who treats her right" Nate says using his hand as weighing measures.

"Ha, thanks man."

"What are bestfriends for?"

"I could think of other things" he says sarcastically.

Dan in a better mood decides to go up on the roof and wait for Blair.

"Hey can you watch on Serena and get her a Taxi or something. She's wasted. I got to go wait for my girl, WISH ME LUCK" He says with a wink.

"oh yeah sure. WHO KNEW YOUR DREAM GIRL WOULD BE YOUR BULLY", Nate yells back while Dan walks away with a laugh from his response.
