With Ellas boyfriend, Nate helping to close up the family yacht for the season.. Ella and Blair are free to focus on the most important event of the fall: their annual sleepover.
A tradition since the year 2000, each one more decadent than the last.
No expense, or reputation is spared.
With everything from trundle here to truffles in place, all that's missing is sleepover star and Waldorf BFF, Serena van Der Woodsen.

It was the day of the sleepover. But we had to get through school first.
Jenny and Serena walked past, and Eric mentioned he was coming home over Serena's cell.
"What was that I heard? Eric's coming home?" I walked up to Serena, "perfect timing!"
"How so?"Serena asked.
"It gives your mother and brother time to bond alone tonight while you get trunk in Schnapps and moon the NYU dorms from the limo."
"Ella what are you talking about?" She chuckled.
"S, it's only the most important night of the fall."
Blair added.
"Oh... the sleepover.."
"We prefer 'soirée'. Sleepover is so sophomore year."
"Look, you know I can't go to that, I have that plan." She sighed.
"Serena, when there's a Waldorf soirée, there's nothing else in the social calendar."
"Ella, the plan is Dan. Remember? The guy you realise is actually a human being.. and worthy of your time and attention? No offence!" She looked over at Jenny.
"None taken!" Smiled little Humphrey.
"Look, Serena, we're not a stop along the way, we are a destination. And if you refuse to attend, we're going to have to find a replacement. Girls, the waiting list." Blair ordered.
"Okay.. well uh.. I should get going." I looked at Serena blankly whilst Blair waved silently.
"Bye!" Serena walked off.
"Omg! Little Jenny Humphrey, why didn't I think of you before? You have no plans, you're coming to the soirée!"
"Me? Really?" She chuckled.
"The thing is.. if you come... you'll have to be up to a little more than just sleeping."
"I'm up for anything!!"
"Perfect!" Me and the girls all turned around and headed to class.

"Jenny!! Oh, so glad you could make it!!" I walked over to her as she stepped out of the penthouse elevator.
"Let the games begin!!" Blair smiled.
— the time passed and we all tried on fancy dresses to have fun in.
Little Humphrey walked out in this gorgeous golden dress, and Blair started clapping.
"Wow! Even I'm impressed." We walked her over to the mirror.
"I don't really know, I mean. I don't really feel right." My face dropped.
"Well, as my mother always says 'fashion knows not of comfort', all that matters is the face you show the world, and your face looks like it's going to bat mitzvah."
"But! Before we continue the renovation.." Blair walked over to the table and picked up a martini, handing it to Jenny, " martini."
"Oh, no thanks. I don't drink vodka." She chuckled.
"Well that's nice, because this is Gin, as it should be." I sighed, "it's a party Jenny, either swallow that or swipe your metro card back home."
"It's up to you!" Is added, and she sipped the edge of her martini.
"All right, who's ready for a game of truth or dare?" Blair giggled.
"Oh I love truth or dare!! Once, I had to eat an entire bag of marshmallows." Jenny stated.
"That's nice, little Humphrey, but that's not how we play." I smirked.
