A/N: This is my first fanfic and I'm new to this site (can anyone tell me how you name the chapters in the document manager?). This is an AU/crossover story set in 1980 Point Place, Wisconsin and UES. Everything that has currently happened on Gossip Girl (including the disgusting Jenny travesty) has happened in my story except it's set in the 70s/80s and everything that happened on T7S happened in my story (including the disgusting Sam travesty) . Blair, Jackie, and Georgina are all cousins (I know some of you hate Georgie, but I actually think her character is like a major source of entertainment and I like her so whatever). Pam's maiden name is Waldorf. So, Harold Waldorf (Blair's father), Pamela Waldorf-Burkhart (Jackie's mother), and George Waldorf (Georgina's father) are all sisters and brothers making Georgie, Blair and Jackie first cousins.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters of Gossip Girl or That 70s Show (If I did their relationships wouldn't have ended so horribly and both Hyde and Chuck would be with me!). I'm only using them for my fanfiction story for which I gain no profit.

May 15 1980, Jacqueline "Jackie" Burkhart lie awake in bed in the apartment she shared with her once friend, Fez. They had been close until Jackie made the mistake of running to him on a rebound. It had been all of two days before she came to her senses and broke things off with Fez. He was so upset with her that he didn't speak to her for a week during which time she faced relentless "burns" from Stephen Hyde, the man who still held her heart, referring to her as a whore in some of his most creative ways. Jackie still considered Fez her friend, but like most of her friendships these days, their relationship could be described as strained at its best.

It was while thinking of these burns and the abandonment of all her basement friends that Jackie got a renewed vigor to change something in her life. Living in Point Place Wisconsin was becoming suffocating. It was like an experiment run by some unseen mad scientist on the amount of torture one person could take before going either homicidal or suicidal. At this point Jackie didn't know which one she was: she could kill either Sam, Stephen, or herself without a second's thought. Hmm. Maybe I should make it a double homicide and then a suicide. That should make the headlines.

As Jackie's morbid fantasies ran through her mind she realized she needed to escape and she needed an ally, badly. Currently, she had neither in Point Place, Wisconsin. As she lie on her back, she stared at her ceiling and concentrated on all the bumps and grooves of the white wall. "I wonder what my cousin Blair is doing?" she whispered aloud to her unicorn Fluffycakes. She had been too ashamed to call Blair when her father, Jack Burkhart, went to prison and angry at Blair's mother, Evelyn, for refusing to allow Jackie to live with them in New York. Evelyn had written Jackie a letter not long after her father's imprisonment saying "While your father's situation is unfortunate, the Waldorf name really cannot handle anymore scandal in New York. Perhaps it would be better for us all if you remained in Wisconsin where things could remain quiet." Blair had always been like a sister to Jackie. They were alike in so many ways. Both small, beautiful, rich, bitchy brunettes with distant parents. She supposed it was the Waldorf woman legacy because her cousin Georgina didn't fair much better. Jackie might have been a Burkhart in name but she was a Waldorf in circumstance, that much was for certain. With nothing left going for her in Point Place and no friends to think of she decided to call her cousin and former confidant.

Blair Waldorf was staring in her vanity wondering when her life got turned so upside down. A few years ago she had everything she'd ever wanted: a loving boyfriend, a doting father, a beautiful best friend and a handsome partner in crime. Somewhere along the way that boyfriend and best friend betrayed her and that partner in crime, Chuck Bass, became the love of her life...and then tried to sell her for a hotel. While she had forgiven her friend and former boyfriend, and even made mistakes of her own, the wounds Chuck had caused were fresh and deep and she needed an escape. She was in the middle of contemplating her failure of a life when her phone rang.

"Miss Blair! Phone for you! It your cousin Miss Jacqueline!" Dorota called out in a thickly Russian accented voice as Blair rushed to the phone.

"Jackie! Oh my god is that you?"

"Yes B! It's THE one and only!" Jackie answered in the most perky voice she could muster, considering her mood.

"J!" Blair yelled into the phone causing Jackie to hold the receiver away from her ear. "Where have you been? I haven't heard from you in almost two years? Do you know what it's been like having only Serena the giant sunshiny goddess as my only shopping companion? Do you? Do you?…." there was silence on the other end as Jackie had been moved the phone away from her face mid-rant.

"Jackie? You there?"

"Blair, I'm so sorry for not calling you sooner. You have no idea the drama that has been going on in my life."

"Oh, Jackie, honey you have nooooo idea about drama until you've heard what's happened in my life." Blair replied.

"Well tell me, Blair, what's been going on with you?" Jackie replied, for once, wanting to hear someone else's problems if only to get her mind off her own.

...Two hours pass as each girl recounts the past two years their lives...

"Blair, wait a minute. So let me get this straight. Uncle Harold is gay? Serena slept with Nate? Your mom is well, still a bitch. You started dating Chuck after he spent a year refusing to tell you he loved you, sleeping with hookers, insulting you, spreading gossip about you, and then he traded you to his pervy uncle for a hotel?" Jackie yelled into the telephone receiver.

"Well when you put it that way….." Blair said dryly, "ugh, yes that's about it. And you, my dear, fell in love with a poor person, eww." Blair said as she scrunched her nose up in disgust. "I swear between Serena and her love for all things Brooklyn and you, I just don't know what to do with you people. And then this loser leaves you for a stripper! God, he's like a dirty, poor and, no doubt less handsome, Chuck!"

"God Blair, I'm just so depressed, he's always burning me and…"

"Burning you! Oh my God he's abusive? See! This is why we stay away from the lower class Jackie!"

"It's Wisconsin slang for insulting someone, Blair, keep up! So anyway he's always burning me and I have no friends anymore! None! My supposed best friend, Donna, totally abandoned me and became that whore's newest best buddy. I just want to crawl in a hole somewhere and die!"

"Ugh! God, Jackie have you learned nothing from me? First, what happened to your cheerleading minions?"

"Ummm, I kinda got kicked off the squad when I started dating Steven"

"See? This is why poor people are bad!"

"Blair!"

"Ok, ok. We can fix this. So, no minions. And no best friend because she's a stripper obsessed skank. We'll just have to rally the troops." A moment of silence passed by as Blair tried to come up with a plan and Jackie wondered what was going on in her cousin's demented brain. "Ok, I've got it!" Blair exclaimed as a devious smirk lit up her face.

"Got what? A way for me to get Steven back?" Jackie asked in a voice tinged with both hope and fear.

"Oh honey, this is about more than that. So, your life is falling apart? Rebuild it! You're a Waldorf remember? People don't tell you who you are, you tell them. Stay and Fight. I'll fight with you." I need to thank Serena for that speech, it was awesome! "We are Waldorf women and no one is better than a Waldorf woman. Not some raccoon eyed underage skank and not some rabid pea-brained pole professional."

"Blair I've really missed you" Jackie said as she giggled into the phone over her cousin's antics.

"And I have missed you, which is why I'm coming to visit you in Point Place."

"What! You, Blair Waldorf, want to come to Point Place? Why? What's this plan of yours?" Jackie was shocked, in all her years of begging, Blair had never agreed to visit her in Wisconsin. In fact, the last time she'd asked Blair replied that the mid-west was where unwed teenage mother's went to hide their pregnancies and she wouldn't be caught dead in a state that prided itself on cheese.

"Revenge honey, it's the only plan that's practically approved by God himself."

"God? Blair, where have you been going to church?"

"Jackie, God is all about revenge. If you cut revenge out of the Bible, there's not even enough pages to make a pamphlet! So, here's what I need you to do. Get your butt out of that pervert foreigner's apartment and back in the mansion in luxury where you belong!" Blair yelled into the phone. "I'll talk to my father about getting to your trust fund early, there's no way a Waldorf should be poor and, worse yet, working" Again Blair looked disgusted. "I'll call you back with details and I'm bringing Serena, Georgie, and Dorota with me. We'll need them."

"Georgina! She's not in the Ostroff Center anymore?"

"Nah she got out about a month ago. Uncle George will probably be happy to get her out of New York before she slips back into her old ways. Always remember Jackie, we're family and we're here for you, especially when revenge is involved." Blair sighed as she looked around her room, mentally noting which belongings she would be bringing along.

The girls talked for a few more minutes to discuss details of Blair's arrival the coming week and Jackie's move back into the mansion. After another silent pause….

"Jackie?"

"Yeah?"

"This basement gang of yours won't know what hit them." And with that both girls hung up the phone. Jackie lie back on her bed in Point Place, Wisconsin with a renewed hope and excitement she hadn't felt in a long while, as Blair paced her Upper East Side penthouse room smiling as plans of sabotage ran through her mind.

A/N Although I've written short stories for class and for my own enjoyment, this is my first fanfiction. Let me know what you think. If you like it, I might continue for your praise. If you don't, I still might continue just to spite you LOL. Also, I'm looking for a beta if anyone's interested!
