Manhattan Project

Ok this is an attempt at a General Hospital/Gossip Girl cross over. I don't own wither fandom but I love them to death. It is sat AU in the GG TV-Verse as well as AU in the GH-Verse

Greetings upper East Siders, Gossip Girl here and yes the rumors you've been hearing are true. Kate Howard is making a triumphant return to our humble island albeit a brief one. The buzz has already begun to grow about the launch of her new magazine Crimson which I'm sure will immediately become our new bible. What you might not have heard is that she is also in town to interview the mother of our one and only B. What will happen...well you know I'll be here to spill?

You Know You Love Me

XOXO Gossip Girl

Manhattan a week prier to the Crimson launch party Kate Howard along with her first assistant Maxie Jones were heading out of the Plaza and into a town car. They were looking posh as always. Kate was on her phone talking to second assistant Lulu Spencer who was back in Port Charles, New York finalizing last minute details before jointing the others in the city for the party. Meanwhile Maxie was looking over at the third member of the party a smile pursing her pink lips.

Damian Spinelli was a fish out of water standing along side the two women. As polished and put together as they were he was the opposite. His brown hair was slightly combed but still unruly and he was wearing a pair of baggy jeans and a green t-shirt underneath a green plaid button up shirt.

"Isn't it beautiful here," Maxie said.

He blinked back to reality as he was currently caught under the spell of her crystal blue eyes. You see he has a crush on the blonde but she couldn't see him as more then just her goofy best friend which was still an improvement from just a year ago when they loathed each other. Funny thing what death can do to a person?

"Earth to Spinelli."

"Um--yes, beautiful."

He was about to talk more when Maxie's cell rang. Picking it up she began to titter... "Freddy hi."

Spinelli grimaced thinking this was just great. You see the real reason he tagged along wasn't to be Kate's last minute tec support but he was jealous. The last time Maxie went into the city to do work for Kate she had apparently clicked with this designer Federico whatever his last name was and that was all Maxie would gush about. Spinelli envisioned this guy to be charming, good looking, suave, everything he wasn't but wanted to be, the kind of guy Maxie would fall for.

Entering the town car Maxie had put her phone down and looked up at Kate who had already hung up from Lulu and was scribbling something down in a notebook.

"Kate," Maxie said, "how long do you think the meeting with Eleanor will be?"

"Why, do you have a date?"

"Actually, yea, Freddy called and said he was glad I was back in town and made reservations for us."

Kate nodded promising Maxie she'd be out in time before looking at Spinelli.

"Mr. Spinelli."

He looked at the older women, her short brown bob neatly combed dressed in a stylish black business suite and designer heels.

"Yes Fashionista..." he paused, "Kate."

"You don't have to come with us, I mean you'd be sitting in the lobby all day. You seem like an intelligent young man."

He blushed at the comment.

"Let me have the driver drop you off at the Met, all you have to do is drop my name and you can get in."

"As flattered as the Jackal is of your offer I think I'm going to take a pass."

Kate nodded and continued to make there way to the Waldorf's building in silence.

Pulling up to the tall brick building Kate and Maxie gathered their things. Maxie turned to

Spinelli and smiled.

"Spin, are you sure you don't want to go do something, it would be more fun then hanging here."

"Maximista I appreciate your concern but I'm fine..."

Maxie nodded and watched as Spinelli and his trusted laptop followed them through the glass doors of the lavish building.

Ok this was a teaser...comments and suggestions loved. I would have made it longer but I am still in need of a nickname for Spinelli to call Blair
