canon is gossip girl.

Again? Guess I shouldn't be surprised. You just keep coming back, don't you?

[ well. there's an upwards tug of his lips. ]

Let's face it, there's nothing I can say or do that will stop you. So, get it out of your system and move along. As usual.

[ Just this look, Nate. That's all you get. ]

[inflexibly]

[ hmmm. ] What, you'd rather sit around?

[glamorously]

Honestly? [ No. ] Maybe. I guess it depends on what they end up deciding to do with us. There are some pretty crazy places out there, Nate; I don't think I want to take my chances in most of them.

[inflexibly]

Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll send us to a city or some small town. [ but that smile is pretty much gone. and even though he's not entirely confident: ] We'll be okay, Serena. I won't let anything happen to you.

[glamorously]

[ Serena's hoping city because small town? Seriously? She smiles a little at that last part, though, and reaches over to nudge him with her elbow. ] My very own knight in shining armor.

[inflexibly]

[ hey, they can fish. or something. it's better than getting mauled, okay. when she nudges him, he can't help but laugh. ] It's not such a bad position to be in.

[glamorously]

[ ...fish. Serena's not going to fish. ] I hope you realize that one day, when you find yourself regretting promising to keep an eye on me, I'm going to remind you of what you just said.

[inflexibly]

[ here's to hoping they don't have to salvage for food. ] Who says I'm going to regret it? Now, if you go looking for trouble...

[glamorously]

[ Oh, god, don't even suggest that, Nate. ] Me go looking for trouble? Come on, Nate. You know me better than that. [ ...Serena, you're not fooling anyone here, even if you are better than you used to be. ]

[inflexibly]

Seriously? [ that gets another laugh. wow, serena. ] Sure, I believe that.

[glamorously]

[ Yeah, this time? She's just going to smack his arm. ] Shut up.

[inflexibly]

Alright, alright. [ he's still going to smile, though. he's looking forward to it. ]

[glamorously]

[ She smiles in return. ] You'll give me a heads up if they end up deciding on something, right? Mine isn't always big on the sharing thing.

[inflexibly]

Yeah, of course. Mine's never been able to keep stuff like that to herself.

[glamorously]

I owe you one.

[inflexibly]

Now that I'll be sure to remember.

[glamorously]

Color me surprised.
