Inexplicable Forces

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Gossip Girl characters…but I sure wish I was creative enough to have thought of them first!

Hi everyone! This is a first for me so hopefully it goes well and you love it! It'll be long but I will do my best to make it worth it! Expect an epic tale set in the future about all our favorites…hopefully it's not too predictable!

Note: flashbacks are italicized

Update (4/7/9): Hope you're all enjoying the story so far...as a head's up, I always forget to mention, but all the chapters may have spoilers for the TV series-and please, review me...I love hearing from you all!!!

Update (4/13/09): So, in re-reading some old chapters, I realized that some changes I've made along the story had some earlier contradictions! My bad...that's why I revamped (slightly) chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, and 16...plus hopefully a new chapter to come soon!! Enjoy!

Prologue

"I am so proud of you" he murmured against her lips. She smiled and pulled away slightly, taking in the flawless summer night surrounding them, wondering to herself if things could get any better than this. Here she was, walking on the streets of her fantastic city, coming home from a night that lauded her accomplishments with praise, laughter, and a fabulous four-course meal, and she had the man of her dreams on her arm. She couldn't help herself…she just had to do it-so she began to skip and twirl in her Manolos, singing and giggling with joy. He looked at her and felt his heart melt-after everything, she was his. "My dear Nathaniel," she began "can you believe it? I am officially an Ivy-educated, residency trained, full-fledged M.D.!" She continued to hop along the street. "Well, it was me that practically forced you to take the SAT all those years ago-where would you be without me?" Nate joked as he jogged a little to catch up with her. "V, I love you so much and I really couldn't be more proud or lucky to have you…" He trailed off as he watched her dance without abandon. This was why he loved her-his Vanessa and her kooky ways. She continued to dance, unaware of Nate's intense focus…and she failed to notice him reaching for something as she asked "could this night be any more perfect?" She completed another turn and stopped on a dime when she saw him-he was on one knee with the most beautiful ring she had ever seen outstretched to her. "I don't know V-can it?"
