"Well thank you so much, Dylan." Frankie smiled at her friend. "Really, not much." She shrugged. "How about you?" She asked. "How are you doing with Caine being gone?"

Dylan smiled and walked into Frankie's house and looked at her. "Your house looks fantastic, then again, you have always had good taste." She smiled and walked into the kitchen and opened the bottle of wine and looked at Frankie. "What's been new with you, Mrs. Barnes?"

[frankiebarnes]

"Oh shut up." Frankie rolled her eyes. "You're literally one of my best friends here, so I needed to catch up with you."

"Well damn if you miss me that much, you could have just called me."

[frankiebarnes]

"I know, but people from all over can be good at pool." She said with a shrug.

"Okay but I'm not from Manhattan, I'm from North Carolina." Topper laughed and looked at her. "As you should, because I do suck at pool."

"Dean, if you know that Gossip Girl won't give anyone any sort of slack no matter what, then you should know she won't give you a break." Frankie pointed out to him. "It sucks, but she's...she's ruthless like that."

"Yeah I know." Dean looked at Frankie. "I just wish she'd take a break for a day and at least let me announce my own return. Though, I knew returning she'd announce it before I even unpacked a suitcase in my own home."

"Dean, it'll be a really cold day in hell before Gossip Girl let's anyone do anything in peace and you know it." Frankie looked at Dean. "Welcome back though."

"You know, it's good to know that Gossip Girl hasn't lost her edge or whatever she wants to call it in my few months away." Dean gave a dry laugh and shook his head. "And here I was hoping to come back without being on her radar, should have known that that wasn't going to happen." @ggstarterblog

"You aren't late, I promise." Frankie smiled at her friend. "Come on in and let's pop the bottle open and drink!"

"I know, I'm late, but I'm here now and I brought of bottle of wine! So how about we crack this open, drink and catch up?" @ggstarterblog

"Do you know how many people say that Topper and are actually huslters at pool? Like all of fucking Manhattan." Frankie laughed. "Though, from those horrible shots you just took, I am starting to believe that you truly do suck at this game."

"I told you before we started doing this, that I suck at playing pool." Topper laughed as he missed yet anohter shot and looked at the person he had met up with. "And I promise I'm not hustling you. I'd be the worst type of hustler ever." @ggstarterblog

"Sorry." Frankie laughed and looked at Nico. "I just had to come in here because we haven't seen each other in forever."

Nico was wiping down the counter, the faint buzz of fluorescent lights the only sound in the quiet tattoo shop as the last of the evening’s clients filtered out. He was about to flip the "Closed" sign when the door swung open, the bell above it chiming with a familiar ring. Nico looked up, his hand still on the handle, and his face lit up with a rare smile.

“Shit, it’s you,” Nico muttered, half-laughing in surprise. "If you want a tattoo, you're gonna have to make an appointment. I'm closed for the night." @ggstarterblog

Frankie nodded and looked at the younger woman. "You'd think that with how may victories you and your friends have, people would learn to stop messing with you all and leave you all alone." She said. She couldn't imagine what Sarah and her friends went through whenever they were on a hunt. It had to be horrible always having to look over your shoulder and not knowing who you could or could not trust.

Sarah couldn't help the laugh that escaped her lips and shook her head. "It's not exciting. It's...it's anything but. Being targetted because we like to treasure hunt and explore isn't something anyone else has to go through. It just gets exhausting."

"Ugh I do not miss college at all." Frnakie laughed and looked at her sister. "Are your classes going good at least?"

"I know, I was teasing you Frankie." She smiled at her sister. "I've been good. Busy with college more than anything, but finals are coming up."

[frankiebarnes]

Frankie laughed at the question. "Oh gosh." She blushed slightly and looked at her friend. "It's not like we haven't talked about it, you know?" She asked. "It's just...I don't know." She admitted. "We aren't trying but like if it happens, it happens."

"It's all good, Frankie." Dylan smiled and looked at her. I'm glad that things with Jordan are good though, but I do want to know, if you two are planning on having kids anytime soon?"

[frankiebarnes]

"That doesn't matter if she's in a different state, Topper." She looked at him. "If your safety is at risk then you should be granted one."

"I really didn't know that." Topper admitted and chuckled. "I've tried getting a restraining order against her. It's a no go, but that's mostly because she's not in the same state."

[frankiebarnes]

"I don't know anyone who does like drama. I mean, besides like Gossip Girl, maybe, but I feel like even with her it's more of the reaction she gets out of us than anything."

"Oh God those are the worst fucking types of couples." She laughed. "I figured that out very quickly. I'm glad I don't like drama, it's always draining."

[frankiebarnes]

Frankie laughed. "I'm sure there is, they're gonna fight, break up, have sex and get back together." She looked at her. "You aren't lame for not having drama. That's like a rare thing around here."

"You know, I'm sure there's a couple doing all of that right now." Brittany said with a laugh. "As for me, I have no drama, because I am lame as shit."

[frankiebarnes]

"Oh boo that's no fun." Frankie teased and looked at her. "Things with Jordan are amazing. I'm very lucky to have him."

Vanessa looked at Frankie and couldn't help but smile. "I mean, I know a few divorces are happening, but nothing I can really talk about, because it's not public knowledge yet." She smirked. "How are you though? How are things with Jordan?"

[frankiebarnes]

"I'm not disappointed, though I am shocked." Frankie admitted and looked at Sarah. "I feel like you and your friends have the most interesting stories ever."

"You're gonna be disappointed because I have no tea to give you, like at all."
