"Though it seems like just yesterday, Serena, Mia and I were 8 and playing dress up in my mother's vintage Manolo's my 18th birthday has finally arrived" Blair said.
"Everyone's favorite day of the year" Mia said smiling. "The party needs to be perfect" Blair said.
"So, blood orange martinis or beluga and Belvedere" Blair asked. "Why don't we make different drinks tonight and do a taste test" Penelope asked.
"Oh yeah that sounds fun" Mia said. "Oh, I can't I'm meeting my mother's new boyfriend" Blair said.
"Even moms have boyfriends, and I don't" Hazel said. "I haven't had one since maybe four years ago" Mia said.
"Cyrus has been one of my mom's attorneys since the divorce he asked her out when they first met but she didn't wanna mix business with pleasure finally his amorous overtures wore her down and she agreed to dinner she's been smitten ever since" Blair said.
"Oh, that's so romantic" Nelly said. "One thing my mom has is good taste in men maybe a dashing stepdad is just what I need" Blair said.
"Speaking of good taste in men how's the sexy artist Serena" Penelope asked Serena.
"Yeah, you been glued to that phone since you got here" Mia said. "Oh, uh Aaron's amazing he's been sending me these maps to the most beautiful places the other day I ended up in a private room in the cloisters overlooking the gardens" Serena said.
"Spare them the details Serena, Hazel will kill herself from envy" Blair said and Serena's phone rang.
"Oh, this is him again I gotta go" Serena said. "You're kidding me now" Mia said. "What, what about my party" Blair asked. "Blood orange martinis all the way" Serena said and left.

Mia was with Chuck when Bart walked in and went over to them. "Happy 20th anniversary for Bass industries" Chuck said.
"I'm surprised you remembered" Bart said. "How could we not" Mia asked.
"Not only did I remember I got you something" Chuck said and gave the tickets to Bart. "You once told me that you snuck into hockey games as a kid sat in the back row" Chuck said.
"You bought a box for the season" Bart asked. "I thought you could revisit your childhood passion in the style" Chuck said.
"And it be great for you two to have a father son bonding trip" Mia said.
"We can go to rangers' games together hang out" Chuck said. "Well nice gesture but uh misguided as usual" Bart said.
"Are you kidding me right now" Mia said and Bart gave the tickets to Chuck. "I don't have time for hockey games you know that" Bart said and left. "Don't worry bro you still got me" Mia said.

Mia was with Serena at Serena's locker when Blair walked up. "Uh oh we're in trouble" Mia said. "Serena, Mia, I called you both like ten times last night" Blair said.
"Where have you been" Blair asked. "Sorry I was spending the day with my brother after our dad blew him off like usual" Mia said.
"I went to the dentist at lunch and yesterday I met Aaron in Times Square B, M, it was the most romantic thing" Serena said. "Aw sometimes I miss being in a relationship then I remember most guys are pigs" Mia said.
"Who cares about plague or pretentious artists when your best friend's having a meltdown" Blair said. "Wow B what's wrong" Mia asked.
"He's totally unsuitable" Blair said. "Who is" Serena asked. "Cyrus he's 5 feet tall he has a catchphrase and he's a hugger I was expecting Cary Grant and I got Danny Devito" Blair said and Serena's phone rang.
