The characters are still 17-18 and in high school and in New York ( Obiesly) ). Yes. Im going to be like Stephanie Savage and Josh Shawrts but with out the legal permision of the one and only , Cecily Von Ziegazer. All in all, this story/ xoxo is all created by me but, with all the characters cretead by the said one and only, Cecily Von Ziegazer. Basically , the story is going to be more abot Chuck and Blair's relationship but with a good deal of Serena and Dan and possibly some Nate/Jenny/Vanessa. Eric, I will try to put in the story but no parents... I think. Eric will be gay, I think he's cool like that, I don't have problems with heterosexuals at all and althought im not one, I believe that if they want to love they should be allowed to becouse love is fearless( as taylor swift says) and possibly the best thing a person can get in life. Also, mostly everything happening here is from things in season 1 but, Bart is dead, and Dan and Serena dont have a brother ( their parents never dated) So I hope you all enjoy this wierd ,out of my head story I've come up with and hope it enspires you to write your own.

xoxo

It all started with a blog, goosip girl that is...

" Serena!! did you hear what's on gossip girl"

Blair Waldorf asked her best friend Serena Van Der Woodsen

"Hear what?"

Serena asked back

"Gossip girl spotted that Nate was seen with some girl from public school at Butter ... last night"

Blair replied

It was a cloudy March Friday afternoon in Manhattan,the girls had dissapeared into Blair's bedroom to have some girl time after school (you know , read magazines and gossip around...) . Blair was obviosly the one on her desk checking out gossip girl on her computer while Serena read the new editionn of "Teen Vouge" on Blair's bed.

"What? Wich girl?"Serena asked with out looking back from her magazine

"You come see for yourself!" Blair answered loudly

Serena hopped of the bed and knelt right next to Blair's chair to look at the picture

(tressa and nate = a picture of chace and drew berrymore)

" She looks familiar?" Serena said recognizing the girl in the picture from the public library or some where

"Well, we 'll have to question Nate later" Blair suggested avoiding the picture of both the girls ex-lover Nate Archibald

Wich was an odd thing to say , for Blair is ALWAYS on for a good mystery.

Blair suddenly got up from her chair and started randomly pacing back and forth.

" Serena, I have something to tell you..." Blair said anxiously

Serena,now more alert at her friends behavoir then before panicked a little when she said this.

" Whats wrong B?" She said as she got up

"Chuck and I are going to dinner and I have nothing to wear!"

Serena sighed in relief. She knew about the troble Blair can manege to get into

" Not only that but he has to tell me something and on top of all that ,to put even more stress over it, he does'nt want me to wear something new!! God, I love him but you gotta hate him some times!!!"

Blair said rapidly in a stressed out voice she manage to put when ever they talked about Chuck

"B! i cant believe you decided to tell me now! You must be sooo exited!" Serena exclaimed as she ran over to congradulate Blair with a hug

btw, both Serena and Blair are freaking out about this becouse Chuck is'nt the " date/going out" type of guy. If you watch the show you would know.

~ back to were we where~

"I know! I am but, im so nervus! What if what he needs to tell me is something bad?" Blair said

Serena sat back down on the bed as Blair kept pacing.

Out of nowere, the door to Blair's room started to opend.

"Well B, dont think that way..." Serena sugested staring at the opening door.

Blair turned to loook around to see what Serena was staring at

Dan Humphrey was standing right at the door, staring back at Serena.

"Humphrey, who let you in?" Blair asked looking at Dan up and down.

"Umm... Dorota I think her name is" Dan responded .

Blair turned away in disgust. She walked towards her closet and started pulling dresses out .

"Dan, what are you doing here?! " Serena asked as she got up from the bed to greet her boyfriend

" You think I can talk to you for a second out here? If Blair doesn't mind?" Dan asked in a low tone leaning his head on the door to see if Blair was listening.

"Take her away...but not for to long" Blair replied with out looking back from her closet.

Serena and Dan stepped out into the hallway closing the door behind them.

"What's up babe? Something wrong,you seem so down?"

Serena asked Dan now out in the hallway.

" Serena, first of all, I wanted to tell you that Im sorry, Im completley, terribly sorry for this. I didnt mean to give her the picture, she just took it" Dan said rather quikly.

Serena stared at him puzzeld . What picture ? she thought. What is he talking about?

" Wait Dan, what ? I dont get it..."

" You'll understand later, just let me finish"Dan said \

He gently griped both of Serena's hands in to his . Serena took a deep breath after this gesture noticing the news was'nt going to be good

"Serena, my mom...passed away, last night. " Dan said looking straight at her.

Serena just stared blankly in to both of Dan's eyes in shock.

"I ... I did'nt want to tell you at school becouse I knew it would get you off track and over the phone its just not as personal so, I guessed over your best friends *house was good" Dan explained

(*apartment/pent house what ever you want to call it!)

"Oh .Dan, im so...sorry" Serena said plainly

She hugged Dan tightly hoping he wouldn't cry.

"I actually can't believe it much the first person I told and, Jenny... she doesn't know yet... I was hoping you could help me and my dad out with her"

Serena let go of him to notice an ackward smile on Dan's face

"Of course I will. God... what an unexpected ...thing" Serena thought aloud

"Look, I gotta go help my dad do some talking over the phone. I'll pick you up at seven when ever Jenny gets home. I'll call you alright?" Dan asked

" Sure, but did she... die?" Serena asked biting her lip as she noticed what a personal question she had asked

"I swear, I'll explain it all later. There's more news to it Serena." Dan replied

They hugged one more time and Dan kissed Serena's fore head

"See you at seven" He announced as he made his way down the hallway

" Alright, love you!" Serena exclaimed

" Love you too! " Dan yelled from the stairs

Serena walked back into Blair's room closing the door behind her.

"What was that all about?" Blair asked , looking at herself in the mirror as she now was wearing a dress she picked out of her closet.

Serena, with a depressing look on her face, climbed on to the bed and continued to flip trough the magazine

"Dan's mom,she,she...died..." Serena answered

"Wow...no wonder he was so...depressed" Blair replied

"Yea, but, he's being so strange about it .You think he's hiding something?" Serena wondered

"Odd...but look Serena this is a crisis we got here! Yes, he sounds strange ,non-traditional Dan but so what , you are helping me pick something out!!!" Blair proclaimed now staring hard at Serena

As usual, Serena understood .It is Blair she thought and Chuck doesn't usually do this .I should give her a hand

"Fine,but just becouse I feel like changing my thoughts into something else" Serena yelled back at Blair

Blair gave a satisfied smile and led Serena to her closet were they started to pick out clothes.

*~End of part one~

" So, you lived here in the city?"

Nate Archibald asked his new friend ,Tressa Romano whom he met Monday this week on his usual morning jog at Central park.

They had been hanging out since that morning and now they were at the New York public library (were Tressa works) fixing books on such a cloudy day.

" Yea. I just came back two weeks ago. My mom wanted me to have some time with my father, they got divorced when I was 13 " Tressa explained as she stacked up the new fiction books for kids on a tall book case she needed a ladder for while Nate watched close by.

Gosh,im really into her Nate thought looking at her coppery red hair. He was practically over Vanessa Abrams(ex gf) and was desperate for a gal since all his friends had one.

" Hmm... 'Alice in Wonderland' the new edition" Tressa read the cover of one of the new books.

(Tressa --Ilsa fisher)

"I use to love this one. You know the author of the book is said to have had sexual relations with Alice Liddle!? Liddle was the inspiration for the book. He use to take pictures of her and her family" Tressa acknowledge

Nate looked at her awkwardly

"Isn't this book from like, the 1800's? Well that must have been a scandal"Nate remarked

Tressa laughed at the way he said it

She's smart and pretty... Nate thought...

Since it was a Friday, and Nate had nothing better to do (Chuck having dinner with Blair , Vanessa out of town etc...) he pondered the idea of asking Tressa out for a fun date around the city. It was already 5:30 and Tressa hadn't mentioned any plans so, he Finalay gave it a go.

"Hey,its been fun hanging out with you this week and I was just wondering if you don't have anything to do tommorow, we could maybe hang out?" Nate asked randomly

Tressa looked at him from high up on the ladder and frowned.

"Im sorry Nate. I would love to but, I gotta help out at the temple tomorrow. I'm Jewish by the way and all my friends/ family over at the temple haven't seen me in a long time" Tressa responded

" that's cool with me. Some other time maybe?" Nate asked making it obvious that he was desperate and disappointed

" I'll have to check."

"But, I believe I am free on Sunday..." Tressa replied

"Oh great, that day I have to go to church!"

Nate said sarcastically

"Don't make fun!"

They both giggled for a while.

"So, Sunday?"She asked again seriously this time

" Well, I really do have to go to church and my family likes to take a little tour of the city as if they were just moving in. I'll call you k? "

"sure"

At that moment,Nate's phone began/ to ring

"Turn it off! Were in a library" Tressa scolded at him softly

"I have to go anyways. See you Sunday , I'll try my best to!"

"Kay, now go!" Tressa shooed him out

When Nate finally answered his phone, it was Chuck , knowing what Chuck's plans for the night immediately called back

~ On the phone~

"Hey,whats up Charles ?(lol!) got everything ready for tonight?"

" No Nathaniel, I don't know how I'm going to do this"

"Just take it slow and don't tell her until the end. She wont appreciate it but, its better for her"

"Right... You know when the airport closes?"

"No,it doesn't close Chuck..."

"Right,well, I'll call you when I'm about to leave "

"Alright dude"

Nate closed up his phone and started making his way down the street.

*At the dinner

Blair had finnaly settled down in to a navy blue, halter tied, flowing dress by her mother's designs. She had only worn it once in the summer she spent with her dad, she kinda forgot it was still among her possessions.

Already at dessert time, Blair wondered what it was that Chuck wanted to say. She got right down to business once dessert was order. During the whole dinner, all they did was smalltalk about school ,Serena, gossip and grades nothing to serious, nothing too harsh but no matter how much Blair insisted (what it was he wanted to say), he managed to change the subject .

"So what did you want to tell me?" Blair asked once more getting straight to the point

Chuck looked at her solemnly

Blair wondered if this was a bad thing or a good thing but with Chuck... she'll never know.
