i'm so fancy;

I don’t doubt it this city is full of psychotics. They are all insane.

True, but it's still the greatest city on this planet. Anyways, how've you been?

That is definitely the craziest story I’ve heard in this city.

Right? I mean, c'mon, I could be a serial killer or something like that and he was still serious about marrying me. That guy was completely crazy.

Everything went dark as warm hands covered his eyes and blocked out the Palace lobby. As sad as certain individuals who would remain nameless might find it, Dan already easily recognized Serena’s laugh. Her hint prompted his own laugh to join hers. “Scarlett Johansson, I wasn’t expecting to run into you in the lobby of the Palace Hotel,” he joked, turning around and finding himself closer to Serena than he ever imagined being in reality. He was frozen for a moment, dark eyes locked with hers, lost in a sea of blue. And then he was smiling. “Oh, Serena, it’s you,” he said dryly, the humor still apparent in his tone.

Serena kept giggling, her hands still covering his eyes. She could feel his face heating up underneath them. The Blonde rolled her eyes at his words, pulling her hands away as he started to turn around. "Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not Scarlett. Hope I didn't crush your dreams now," she said with a cocky smirk. "Good to know you're still funny, though." A smile was plastered onto her face, but quickly vanished as she noticed the tone of his voice. "Well, I think I'm much cooler than Scarlett anyway, but if you want to wait for her here, suit yourself. You'll be missing out on an amazing evening with me though," Serena remarked pouting, raising her eyebrows. She tried to keep up a serious face, but failed miserably after a few seconds.

Well, two more years, and we'll never have to wear a school uniform again, so.

Guess who’s back, New York. Did you miss me?

G-Georgina? What are you doing here?

Yeah, I’m not going to disagree with you there. About any of it actually, I think it’s time things weren’t just handed to Blair on a silver platter. I mean, it’s up to the two of you to figure out where your friendship stands, but what happened while you were gone sends a pretty strong message.

I'm guessing you have a plan? I guess so, yeah.

You only say it because you live here, Van der Woodsen.

That's partly true, yeah. But I also say it because New York is the greatest city on this planet and don't even try to fight me on that.

Just… old habits, I think.  Rebound sex and all that.

Oh, I didn't know you were going through a break-up. I'm sorry.

So does betraying your best friend by sleeping with her boyfriend, and you did it any way…

Wh — did Nate tell you?

Honestly that’s all I’ve been doing, lately…

Is there any reason for that or did you just want to have a little fun?

You do know smoking kills, right?
