2002

Neal meets Mozzie

Peter is assigned Neal's case

Neal and Mozzie start their long con on Adler

Neal meets Kate

Neal meets Alex.

Except for the last, all of this takes place in the stretch of perhaps two, three weeks. We have no solid timeframe for when he meets Alex. We know it took a month for Neal to get hired by Adler.

2002 or early 2003

Adler disappears. Neal confesses his real identity to Kate.

2003

Bryce Larkin got Chuck expelled during their senior year at Stanford University. Later, it is revealed that Larkin did this to prevent Chuck from being recruited by the CIA.

2003-2004

Bryce becomes partners with Sarah somewhere in here. Thier first mission together was in Lisbon.

Then we have a break between 2002 and 2005. At some point in this time frame, Alex summons Neal to come help her steal the music box, Neal tries to con Kate into helping, and Kate for all intents and purposes dumps him. Neal and Alex fail to get the box and Neal returns to try and find Kate or draw her attention. Bear in mind this is a two and a half year stretch, so Neal and Kate could have spent quite a long time together anywhere up to about two years, by my count, would still leave enough time for the fight, the failed attempt on the box, and Neal's attempts to get Kate's attention. This is flexible.

2004

After that… It's White Collar. That's where the show begins. I'm not typing that all up. If you want to know: Watch the show! Or look it up on your own time, Please. It was bugging me that nobody has done this, so, here you go! Use it as a guide!
