Part 1

“Serena?” Blair was sitting back at home. Her mother had gone off to Paris again for a week, and it was the maid’s day off. B had needed some alone time after she got back from the Palace, but what she needed now was her best friend. “Can you come over here? It’s important.”
“Sure, B. I’ll be right over.” Serena could hear the sadness and desperation in her friend’s voice. She quickly got her coat and hurried over to the front door. Suddenly, the door opened.
“Vanessa?” Serena looked at Dan’s friend, puzzled.
“Hey, Serena. Do you have a minute?”
“Well, actually I—”
“Great,” Vanessa interrupted, stepping past Serena into her hotel suite. She gave the place a good look, then swivelled back to S.
“Serena, I’m here for a reason.”
“Really?” Serena rolled her eyes. “I never would have guessed.”
Vanessa sighed. “Scoff if you will, but Dan has finally come to his senses. He’s decided to end it with you like he should have so long ago.”
Serena looked at her guest, puzzled. “Wait, what?”
Vanessa sighed again, rolling her eyes. “You really are as dumb as you look,” she said, sounding irritated. “Dan is breaking up with you. He’s finally realized that his little ‘fling’ with you has been rather pointless, and he’s decided to move on to more appropriate girls. Girls like me.” Vanessa grinned wickedly at S. “Now, I’ll let you go. You probably have some strip club to go to now, anyway. What is it, three-thirty? Four o’clock? Tsk, tsk, Serena.”
Vanessa gave her one last evil smile before gliding out of the hotel room.
All S could do was stare at the door in shock for a few seconds, and then hurry off to Blair’s.

Spotted: V leaving the Palace Hotel, looking like she’d won the biggest prize of all. And maybe she has.
S followed closely behind, heading to B’s place. Poor B. We heard she’s in quite a little heartbreak. But there’s more pain to come, little Waldorf. Is and Kati are hosting this year’s Vintage Ball, where everyone gets to join in on a little blast from the past. The problem is, it’s a tradition that girls always have to ask the boys to the ball. And who will B ask? No one’s sure yet, but when they are, Gossip Girl will be here to spread the news.
