Chapter Fifty Eight - Prom
The next day was Prom day, everyone but Serena, who was still in jail on protest was slowly getting ready for the night's events. Me I was chilling with Jenny looking through magazines. The garage door lifted up and Dan stood there in his t-shirt and boxers.
"Serena's still in jail."
"Seriously, I thought CeCe had it handled?" I replied looking up
"I don't know."
"Ugh fine, I'll get changed and go grab...ugh I don't know which princess to compare her to. Jenny, I'm gonna need your help." she grinned and followed me She helped me get ready, not that it was her I had my make up done already and my nails, she helped do my hair and then helped me into my gown. I called a car service.
"Rose are you ready?" Dan wondered. Jenny opened my door and I walked out in my prom dress.
"Wow, just wow." I grinned and kissed him
"I have to make one quick stop first. Will you meet me there?" I asked of him
"Yeah, sure." my phone rang and I knew my car was here.
"Thanks Jenny." I left and went to the station walking up to the desk sergeant
"My name is Rosalie Bass I'm here to pay for Serena van der Woodsen's release." he nodded and I did the necessary. Serena was brought out to me
"Come on jailbird, your fairy step sister is here. we have prom to go to." I handed her the garment bag. She grinned and took it from me. I sat up front while she changed in the back. We were the same size and this was one of the dresses I never wore.
"So this whole thing took on a life of it's own. Dan does feel bad but he was just doing what he felt was right. Obviously you know him"
"I'm just hurt that he never gave me a heads up." she replied
"You are preaching to the choir, he actually locked me in a basement. But that is whatever. Lily was just trying to protect you. I kind of wish that if my brith mom would have survived she and her would be similar."
"Good judgment, morals and maternal instinct?" she retorted
"okay not completely like her but the her she is now. She has done a lot for Chuck and I. Especially when I wasn't the warmest of people to her. I never imagine you'd end up incarcerated though. Hmm that might make a good warning tale to future kids." I chuckled then took my compact out and checked my make up.
"The most frustrated part is she thought she did take care of it"
"Meh, Poppy will get her dues. It just won't be us delivering them. And how dare you even consider missing prom is like one of the most important moment in our lives. You can get married again and again but being 18 and going to prom you only get to do once." When we finally arrived Dan was looking very bored as a very happy Blair came over to us.
"You made it!" she chimed hugging Serena. Dan came and slipped his arm around my waist
"There was a last minute change of plans." Serena looked over at me with a broad smiled
"Sprung our jailbird, how about you be nice to Dan of as long as you can as payment." I grinned hugging my boyfriend
"Humphrey, that suit is not entirely awful. There I was nice. Have fun." she left us
"I'm gonna find your brother." Serena replied and then it was just two
"So you know, not that I imagined much about my time at Prom but it measures up." he told me
"Is that good or bad, because you looked a little bored." He laughed "Did you imagine dancing at prom?"
"Kind of did, yeah."
"Well, here I am to make your dreams come true." I pulled him to the dance floor
"Bailing, jailbirds and dancing all in one night?" he laughed as he twirled me around
"I'm a gal of many talents." I grinned coyly then laughed the two of us continued dancing. Till I heard an upset Blair
"I can't believe you Chuck. You know how important prom is to me!" I stopped and went over
"Blair, what's wrong?" I asked
"I caught him with these?" she held up something and I took them they were ballot papers with Nelly's name crossed of
"They're all marked with Nelly Yuki's name. He's sabotaging me. my missing corsage. My dress. The limo and hotel."
"I know my brother's diabolical but you really think he would go to this length. I mean if he was gonna switch and do this surly he wouldn't choose Nelly, especially when my name is on here as well. Please."
"Student's if I could have your attention please." We turned towards Penelope's voice "For the first time ever at Constance, our prom Queen is...."
"I can't believe you're not defending yourself. Lie to my face. Blame some one something." Blair seethed
"Our Prom Queen is Blair Waldorf." Blair shut up and her face turned from anger to shock
"Oh my god. I won." she breathed "This is my moment. I own prom." she left
"And our King Nate Archibald." Once they were far enough away I smirked up at my brother.
"Aww, I can't believe Blair won." S awed
"Yeah who would even vote for her?" Dan questioned and I lightly slapped him on the chest.
"Me. About 150 times." Chuck admitted "I wasn't putting the Nelly Yuki Ballots in, I was taking them out."
"Aww, Charles you're a big softy." I coo.
"But what about what she said you did to her limo and hotel and her corsage?" Serena questioned
"She looks better without it." he then held up a key "Give this to her. It's to the penthouse at the Plaza. you didn't think you were the only one who knew about the scrapbook, did you?"
"Chuck, I can't believe I'm saying this, but that was really sweet." Serena complimented
"I just wanted her to have the perfect night."
"See, he's not so bad" I told my boyfriend
-----------
Dan and I slow danced and finally standing here felt like a chapter was closing. I took a deep breathe.
"What is it?" Dan asked and I looked up to him "Why are you crying?"
"It's silly." I shake my head wiping away my tears "3 and half years ago a never thought I would make it to this day. Standing at prom with a great guy, stronger than ever. It seemed impossible. Yet her I am. With a great boyfriend, amazing friends. A sometimes questionable good brother." he chuckled
"I'm just a little nostalgic, yet grateful."
-------------
Serena walked out arm in arm towards Blair we went for either side of her
"There you are. Where's the prom King." I toward my voice on king
"We broke up." Blair told us.
"What?"
"But everything was so perfect. It was like a fairy tale." Serena added
"Turns out fairy tales end when they do for a reason. I really wanted to go to prom with my high school boyfriend and now that I have..."
"He feels like your high school boyfriend."
"I'm sorry." Serena takes her arm
"Me too. That you almost missed prom because your mother had you arrested." we giggled
"I actually had a lot of fun tonight and I know whatever my mother did she did out of love and right now we're exactly who we want to be with."
"You!" I squeeze her into a hug they laughed
"You are high school to us. All of the boyfriends, mean girls and test and teachers and crazy mothers, we went through together. We're sisters. No matter the arguments or the plots."
"The three of us against the world. The Three Musketeers!" I grin.
