She shall reunite us

Chapter 1: Around the world

Montecito, CA.

Serena had lived here for almost two years now, in this town where both her mother and grandmother had grown up. She found it peaceful and relaxing and enjoyed being able to walk down the road, strait to the beach every day. As she lay by the poolside, she thought back to how far she had come in the last couple of years. She was currently single and working as a film director's assistant. She was in a new town and had forged a new life for herself, miles away from the drama and life style of the Upper East Side.

Meanwhile...

Brooklyn, New York City, NY.

Dan stood in the doorway of the loft. It hadn't changed much in the past few years. He walked in and grazed his fingers over the tops of the dusty kitchen stools. He was happy to be back in this place he called home, where he'd grown up and where all his memories, good and bad, lay. For the past couple of years, he'd been living upstate in Hudson with his mom and Jenny, needing a break from the chaos of the city. The break was only supposed to last a month, two at the most, but when the time came to go home, he didn't quit feel like he could leave just yet. But he was back now, ready to start over.

Across the pond...

Monaco, France

Blair sat on the balcony of her room at the palace, tears streaming down her face. This was the last night she would be spending here now that she and the prince were divorced. In the past year, everything had gone downhill with Louis. First came the little disagreements, then the arguments and finally the endless fights which reduced Blair to tears. She was disappointed it had come to an end so quickly, that her fairytale was over, she guessed they just didn't love each other anymore. Tomorrow, she would be heading north to Lyon to stay with her father and Roman.

Back in the States…

Manhattan, New York City, NY.

Chuck sat up in bed, the sound or vomiting luring him from his slumber. His head was throbbing and that was the extent of his hangover but Nate, as usual, had come off worse. Nothing much had changed in the last two years when it came to them, especially when the booze came out. They were both still bachelors, every so often enjoying lost weekends all around the world. But for the time being, they were back home, living the high life, drinking booze and getting laid. Life was good.

But little did they all know, all of this was about to change…

To: Serena van der Woodsen, Dan Humphrey, Blair Waldorf, Chuck Bass, Nate Archibald.
