M and H are back?!
Gossip Girl here. And believe me folks, the most astonishing news of the summer has just came in. I almost missed my spa session typing this up. M and H were spotted walking from the airport, with those brand new Marc Jacob bags in tow, with perfect hair as always. Surprise much? I think so, after all, our queen bee and her bff left us all here while they were...god knows where. But we're so glad you're back you two. Manhattan has been so boring without you.
your e-mail.
Q: Dear GG,
I heard you were some sort of middle aged man who stalks ppl is that true?
-ANON
A: Dear ANON,
Haha, nice try. No. That's a secret I'll never reveal.
-GG
Q: Dear GG,
It happens that my friend who goes to that AAO school's friend was on the same plane as M and H! Apparently they were flying back from England. Know if she's already with someone since she came back? Because I'll totally dump my gf for her.
-NEWSFLASH
A: Don't think so, although by the way you're typing I don't think you'll have a chance with our M. And I hope your gf reads this, so she'll dump you first.
-GG
sightings.
And where's the rest of our gang? Well, Y and A were spotted down in a local Starbucks sharing an iced mocha latte with extra cream. Mmmm.
R and N spotted in Central Park, watching the ducks. Or maybe it was the ducks watching them, because I know if I were them, I would be watching their every gorgeous move.
S, K, and the rest of their gang seemed to be missing. Hmm, I wonder where they are?
And of course, there's L. She seems to be busy at the Fifth for that party of hers. Which reminds me, I need a dress. Because if there's a showdown between L and M I have to be there. You better watch out L, some people are just meant to be on the throne.
I am now going to enjoy the last rays of summer sunshine with a nice cold bottle of champagne. Some things just don't get old.
You know you love me,
GG

She was in Saks Fifth Avenue trying on a black Chanel dress when her phone rang. Flipping open her phone, her eyes widened as she realized who it was in the picture.
A girl with brown hair and gold streaks with a pair of Gucci sunglasses was walking next to another girl with raven black hair.
She's back. She is back.
That damn bitch was back. It required all of her self control not to throw the phone down onto the floor along with the dress. Annoyed and irritated, she marches out of the dressing room, the entire staff looking at the enraged teen as she slams open the door and hails a taxi.
No one steals my title.
No one.

Meanwhile...
A gentle breeze found its way to Central Park where two gorgeous teens sat, enjoying the nice weather outside, when both of their phones rang.
"If it's Luna again, I swear-" He was cut off when he glanced at the picture in the text. "What the?" He furrowed his brows as he stared incredulously at the text message. In sync with him, his best friend mutters, "Imai is back?" And looked like he was about to drop into a dead faint.
After all, a lot can happen if you disappear for a year.

"Not much has changed, eh Hotaru?"
"What did you expect, baka."
Stepping into their building-since they were neighbors of some sorts, she was thoroughly surprised when the doorman handed her a card.
"What's this?"
"This lady stopped by and told me to give this to you or Ms. Imai as soon as I saw you, which is quite funny since I didn't even know you were coming back today..."
The doorman kept muttering on, while she tore apart the envelope, revealing expensive stationary, letters engraved in gold and silver.
You have been cordially invited to
Luna Koizumi's 18th Birthday Party
Located at The Waldorf Astoria
September 9th, 2008
"Luna...Luna Koizumi...do I know her?" She gave a quizzical look to her best friend.
"Luna Koizumi, same age as us, father is a director of a major hospital. Was in class 2-A." Hotaru listed smoothly without missing a beat.
Trust Hotaru Imai to memorize everyone's profile at school.
"..And...the new 'Queen Bee' from my resources."
Raising an eyebrow, She stared at the invitation a bit longer.
Was this supposed to be some sort of a challenge? Then suddenly, she turned around, dragging her best friend with her back out the door.
"Ms. Sakura! Ms. Imai! Where are you going? You just-"
"Getting dresses for a party, we'll be back soon. Tell our parents if you see them, won't you?" Mikan waved a little, before stepping back out into the busy streets of Manhattan.
There was no way she was backing out of a challenge.
After all, there's only room for one Queen.

Hey Upper East Siders!
Did you all miss me? It's labor day, and our lovely playground is going to open soon. So better get those last minute tans! But unlike me, other people don't seem to be so happy. Take for example, there's N scrunching up his gorgeous face in front of L's apartment. He doesn't look too pleased. Maybe you should just ditch L and come to my place instead, N. But it's not just L avoiding the scene, R ditched his mother's own charity event yesterday for World Hunger! (Shame on you R! A lot of us went there just to see you!) But the biggest surprise is, no one save for A and Y showed up! What's going on with Manhattan people? Avoiding each other is so not the drama we're looking for.
But on the other hand, rumor has it L has just mailed out the last of her invitations! So if you're like me and got invited I suggest you call up that RSVP number to get a front row seat of M versus L. Because we all need a bit of excitement these days.
your e-mail.
Q: Dear GG,
Is Y referring to Youichi? Just making sure (;
-:)
A: Dear :),
Of course Y refers to dear Youichi, that kid is adorable.
-GG
Q: Dear Gossip Girl,
Know any way of sneaking into L's party?
-REJECTED
A: Dear REJECT,
Sorry hun, but I heard L used her daddy's money to well, get body guards and everything. Full with stun guns too.
-GG
sightings.
L spotted sailing with her daddy on the Hudson. Looks like she got sunburned though. That won't look good for her party. T has been spotted playing futbol with some other hunks without a shirt...! Way to show off those muscles! Let's hope it stays that way. R was spotted at the zoo, then later at the aquarium. Really R! Where's your old sense of adventure? Anxious that your girlfriend, whoops I mean ex-girlfriend is back? And lastly, M and H were spotted at Bergdorf's, trying out absolutely fabulous Fendi shoes I might add.
S, K, & co. Are still not on the radar! But do not fret my dear readers, I'm sure I'll find them soon.
So ladies, you probably have to go back to your back-to-school shopping because no one wants to look like they went out of style since the summer. But don't worry, I'll be updating you on the latest news, and of course gossip.
xoxo,
Gossip Girl

A here refers to Aoi, not Anna. Y is indeed referring to Youichi. GG in this story keeps up with everyone whose anyone. So until some of these characters start making a name for themselves, they won't be on the watchlist (;. (After all, Scandals are BOUND to happen.)
Furthermore, if you would like to drop off a small character profile (since I do believe I need more characters that aren't on GG's watchlist xD, just drop off a small form, and if it's reasonable I'll go with it (: )
