OK, this idea came to me during a dream, though the dream was a little different. I was in it, not Emily, and it was only the last day of school. I hope you like it because this is really the first time I have written a story that is 100% mine. I absolutely love Gossip Girl so I decided I didn't want to change anything from the first two seasons. So this story starts pretty much right where Season 2 ended. I wouldn't want to mess up the masterpiece, plus I love the way everything turned out. OK so this is the prologue to really explain the characters relationship before the actual story.

This story is dedicated to my Beta J, aka twilightaddict323!!! She is the best. Check out her stories on her pro.

Disclaimer: I would give anything to own Gossip Girl. But of course it is only a dream. All rights go to Cecily Von Ziegesar and Alloy Entertainment and the CW. I just own the character Emily and the plot of the story.

Full Summery: Emily Whitney left the city without a trace. No one ever new where she was. Her friends searched but found nothing. Over time people went back to there lives thinking that they would never see Emily again. Blair and Serena went on to rule the upper east side and so did Chuck and Nate. You all know what happened after that. Now this story continues when they finish highschool. Let the games begin....

Prologue:

*RINNNNGGGG*

The bell rang to signal the last day of school. It only took about ten seconds for all of the 8th graders to come billowing out of the building. All of them were celebrating that it was the end of their Constance Junior High career. After the summer, they would start Constance Billard School for Girls.

The girls were already talking about the fall fashions, which of the St. Jude boys they will be dating, and who would rule in their freshman year, then eventually take the crown in either junior or senior year, depending on how popular they are. All the girls were thinking of the same person; the girl that ruled Constance Junior High. The one and only…..

"EMILY!!!!" Someone screamed. Emily Whitney turned around to see her two best friends Blair Waldorf and Serena Van Der Woodsen climbing the steps of the Met to where she was.

The three of them together have ruled at Constance throughout their time in grade school and junior high. Many people feared them but everyone wanted to be them. When they were with their other two best friends they were inseparable. Nathanial (Nate) Archibald and Chuck Bass are the two Kings of St. Judes. Everyone looks up to the five of them and they are like everyone's gods. Nate with his shaggy light brown hair that is always messy and hazel-green eyes is the 'Golden Boy' of the Upper East Side. Chuck with his short dark brown and almost black eyes was always the 'Bad Boy' and the 'Womanizer' of the group. Serena with her long wavy blond hair and almost navy blue eyes and her bubbly attitude was the most positive and the nicest of the group. She was always the one too keep them laughing even when they went through hard times. But they always got through it together. Blair with her medium length chocolate brown hair and her matching chocolate brown eyes was the 'Drama Queen' of the bunch. You could always find Blair in the middle of the mess. Yet, she always seemed so innocent when you were around her. And lastly their 'Ringleader'; Emily with her straight long dirty blond hair with real golden highlights any girl would kill for, and her piercing emerald green eyes that can make anyone do whatever she wanted them to do. She was the girl all the boys wanted and all the girls wanted to be. They have been friends since birth and their families have been friends for generations.

"Hey guys." Emily stopped to let them catch up. "What's up?" She asked when they finally reached her.

"Hey E, I just wanted to triple check that you were coming to my 'End of the School Year Bash'?" Blair asked.

"B do I have to spell it out for you?" Emily laughed at her friends' question. It was totally a Blair Waldorf kind of this to ask like one hundred times to make sure that she was coming. "You have been having these bashes since the 3rd grade and have I missed one yet?"

Blair glared at her.

"Come on B! You already knew the answer to your question. I mean who in the grade will dare miss a chance to go to one of your 'Bashes'? They are almost as good as Emilys and Chucks." Serena laughed. She got the same glare that Emily got two seconds ago. "You should be proud. Nothing has even come close to theirs. Plus her answer was totally logical. Everyone is probably thanking God right now that they are in the same grade as you so they are automatically invited to this party."

Blair smiled at this comment. "You're right." Blair is the type of girl that has to be the best in everything. She strives to be popular, to date the cutest guys, to get the best grades in school, and to know all the right people.

This comment caused Serena and Emily to go into full hysterics.

"Can you believe that we are off to High School next year?" Serena asked excitedly. She had been jumping up and down the whole last week of school.

"Yes and no" Blair said. "No because I am still not ready to grow old and get wrinkles yet. Yes because it's about time we get out of this shit-hole of a school and move onto bigger and better things."

Emily just hesitated. "Bigger and better things, that's for sure." Emily muttered too quietly all Serena and Blair heard was a bunch of mumbling.

"What was that E?" Blair asked.

"Nothing!" She answered a little too quickly.

Before the two friends could respond, someone had joined their little group. They all turned their heads to see Nate standing there with his arms crossed in front of him and with a very stern look on his face.

"Natie!" Emily shouted so loudly that it made many people turn their heads to see what all the commotion was about. When they saw who the four were they stared in awe for a little, then just kept walking on. The group was used to this sort of reaction by now. "I've missed you!!" She said hugging him. She was so glad for the distraction.

"E, nice to see you too, even though I saw you right before school." Nate laughed but hugged her back anyway. "B, S" he said to the other two over her head.

"Nate" Serena said back with a very amused smile on her face knowing that Blair would burst in about 5, 4, 3, 2….

"HEY HEY HEY!" She said. "Ok you've hugged him, now step away from my man!" As Emily pulled away laughing Blair ran into Nate's open arms and gave him a peck on the lips. She was always very protecting of him. Always reminding people that he was taken. "Hey sweetie" she said. He smiled down at her.

*Ahem* Serena cleared her throat. Blair and Nate finally looked away from each other. "I hate to break up this perfect little moment you two have going for you here… but you guys sort of have a little audience." They turned around to see about 7 girls standing there watching them.

"Can we help you?" Emily asked them.

They looked at one another, a little scared to speak, but walked up anyway. "Sorry for interrupting but Blair we were wondering what time the bash was?"

"It's at 8. Now will you scram before someone gets a picture and sends it to Gossip Girl and makes it look like we're friends?!" Blair said rather rudely to the group of girls. They ran off as soon as possible without saying a single word.

"You certainly showed them babe!" Nate was the first to talk.

"Ewww!!! Can he be anymore of the disgusting loser of a player he is?!?! Seriously I'm surprised he hasn't gotten his tongue stuck down any of his bimbo-of-the-hour's throats yet." Serena said with a sickened tone.

They all turned and followed her line of vision right to Chuck Bass himself, of course kissing some girl that he probably didn't even know the name of.

"Excuse me." Emily said to the three of them and started to make her way over to Chuck. "Charles!" She said in a rather cheery voice. "How nice of you to finally make you presence known." She saw him flinch at his full name. His father always called him that when he was angry with Chuck…Which was basically whenever he spoke to Chuck. Emily was the only one that Chuck ever really let call him that. She has been doing it forever and it sort of turned into an inside joke.

He finally stopped sucking on the bimbos face to turn and look at her. "Oh look everyone, the bitch is in town!" He said with mock humor.

"I love you too Charles." Emily said sarcastically. He made a face. He accepted Emily calling him by his full name but it didn't make him like it any better. She hugged him anyway. She turned away from him to look at the girl. "I guess your small brain couldn't really comprehend it, but that was your cue to leave!" The girl left as fast as her skanky five inch heels could go.

"Seriously Chuck where do you find these girls?" Blair asked as the three of them walked over.

"At least that one had nice legs." Nate added watching the un-named girl leave. He flinched right as Blair hit him on the back of the head.

"The NJBC (A/N: That stands for Non-Judging Breakfast Club if you guys didn't know that) strikes again." Serena whispered in Nate's ear. It was not so much of a whisper because all five of them started cracking up.

Just then a long white limo pulled up in a sea of black ones. "Hey sorry guys I'm in a bit of a hurry." Emily said to them. They all turned and noticed Emily's white stretch limo.

"Leaving so soon? We barely got to chat." Serena said sadly. She always loved it when she had her four best friends all together like they were now. They all had such busy lives that it was only really at parties or family function that all got to be together at. They never really got to hang out or chill alone just the five of them.

"Yeah well I am sort of on a tight schedule here. You know how it is." She picked up her bag and turned back to her friends. "I am really going to miss you guys!" Emily said tearing up.

"What are you talking about, you will see us on Saturday at the party?" Blair asked.

"Well it's going to feel longer than that." Emily responded.

"We will miss you too E" Nate said giving her a small hug. Serena and Blair followed shortly. Emily turned to Chuck.

"Don't forget to wear a really short dress to the party!" Chuck said with one of his famous smirks on his face. He and Blair are probably the only two people in the world that could pull them off.

Emily just smiled and said, "Ummm… err… yeah… I will." Her friends all gave her quizzical looks. Emily never stuttered. She was always the most confident of the group; their leader.

"Bye" Emily said. They all responded with a quiet bye and watched her as her driver open the door for her and she stepped in and slowly drove away into the city.

Little did they know that that was the last time they would see Emily Whitney. The Non-Judging Breakfast Club would be a four person group now. They would no longer have their 5th member and the Upper East Side would no longer have its beloved queen-to-be.

That Saturday night Emily never showed up to the party. The party was definitely not the same with her not there. Immediately the NJBC knew something was up. Emily had never missed a party in her life.

It was just two days later that the 'bomb' was dropped. It was a regular Monday afternoon for the rest of the city but the NJBC knew differently.

They had all congregated at the Archibald townhouse to talk about what they were going to do next, when all of a sudden all of their cell phones vibrated at the same time. They knew this couldn't be a good sign.

Gossip girl here! Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite. Spotted: Our precious E getting onto her family's private jet. She had about 20 bags loaded onto the plane. But I was told by a secret source that she has one bag she won't let anyone else hold. Now what was in the bag you ask? Well as always, I have the answers. PICTURES. Apparently they were very close to her. But who could they be off. Our chosen ones perhaps? And where could she be going? Only time will tell. For now we say our goodbyes and hope that our Queen has a good flight. Until next time.

You know you love me,

Xoxo

Gossip Girl

They all gave each other confused and horrified looks.

So what did you think? Good? Bad? Tell me in a review. Please no flames. I hope you liked it. Keep in mind that this is just the prologue and over time the story will develop. Right now I was trying to explain the characters attitude and how I thought they would act when they were younger. Emily is going to be a little bit of all of the GG characters put together. I know that technically Gossip Girl wasn't supposed to start till the beginning of 9th grade but in this story it started earlier. Please review and tell me what you think.

Thanks,

Elle
