I Love You

Brooke's Diaries.

Disclaimer: I only own Darcy, all other characters unless otherwise noted belong to someone else.

Darcy walked into the Empire after locating Dan on the Gossip Girl map and heading there. She had read the diaries and had thought about what Austin had said. She was gonna get them published and Dan was the person to help. Not to mention going by the Empire meant she can check in on Chuck. She got up to the penthouse walked in noticing a dog.

"Take it back to the pound or I will." Chuck said.

"Sorry I have a meeting." Dan said.

"Whose dog?" Darcy asked.

"No one's" Chuck responded "Humphrey."

"I gotta go kill this book once and for all." Dan replied.

"Oh speaking of which. I actually need your assistance in something."

"Darcy Ellis asking for my help? This must be big."

"Its novel related."

"After my meeting I'll get back to you."

"Thanks" she replied and Nate walked in.

"Whoa who's the little guy?" Nate asked.

"He's..." Dan started.

"He's mine" Darcy replied getting a weird look from Chuck.

"Oh"

"I thought maybe he could help Bass" she replied "and um me? You know?"

"Okay" Nate said then turned to Dan "Did we have plans? Is that why you're here?"
"No I'm just here to wish you luck on your first day." Dan replied.

"Thank you."

"Remember to walk the dog." Dan said then left.

Nate picked up the suitcase.

"I'm not gonna even ask." he replied

"Good luck Archibald." Darcy commented.

"Have a good day you two." Nate said then walked out.

Darcy turned to Chuck and smiled.

"Can we keep him?" she asked. He gave her a small smiled.

"We?" he asked.

"Yes. We Bass" she said and grabbed his hand "I still have feelings for you and I know you feel the same. Maybe with some time and focus on us, and maybe this little guy can help?"

"Yeah I guess."

"So that's a yes? We can keep him?"

"Yes" he replied and she kissed his cheek.

"Thank you" she commented "I should probably get to class, I've already missed too much."

"I'll see you later?" he asked.

"Tonight" she responded and gave him another kiss on the cheek.

After her first class she headed back to the apartment and gathered up the journals. She put them in the book bag and checked Gossip Girl to find Dan.

Turns out that the rumoured U.E.S. novel is fact, not fiction, and I have the inside scoop on who the author is. Patience, pets. Your answer's coming.

His plan not exactly working was even better for her. If she got Dan to help her with this then him already having a social satire, that worked for her.

Later that evening she arrived at the Jenny Packman show with her bag of journals trying her best to locate Dan. She got inside further and ran into Lily and Rufus.
