Blair's snow-covered boots shuffled toward Nathaniel Archibald's, better known as Nate's, townhouse.

"Nate!!" Let me in!" Blair shouted into the Archibald's intercom on their front door. She slammed the buzzer over and over again impatiently.

"Coming, Blair!" a familiar voice slurred.Blair heard rough footsteps and the door flew open.

"Natie!" she pulled him into an embrace. Nate parted from the hug, a mite quick for Blair as she pouched out her lip in disapproval.

"Wow..." he said, "you look great !" It was true. She was wearing a prada mini-day dress with her favorite boots her faboulous gay dad bought her in Paris.

"Well, so do you, Natie." She noticed he was wearing the moss-green cashmere sweater that she'd bought him. She'd sewn a gold heart pendant into the right sleeve so that nate would always "wear her heart on his sleeve."

"So, Blairy, you ready to go meet Serena and Dan at the park?" Nate asked Blair. Blair looked up at her boyfriend; he looked gorgeous with his sandy brown hair and his sparkling emerald orbs; absolutely irresistable! A cocky smirk didn't fail to take over Nate's feautures as he acknowleged Blair's eyes on him.

Quickly, she recovered. "Yup! Let's go!"

"Hey, Blair! Nate! " Serena waved Blair and Nate over to where she and Dan were sitting.

"Serena!!" Blair called back. The best friends hugged. Things hadn't always been happy-peppy for them, though. They'd had some rough times, especially when Serena came back

Flashback

"Nate, I'm ready." Blair looked Nate right in the eyes. That was all Nate needed to hear. He grabbed her hand and dragged her into the bedroom.

Suddenly, they heard, "Serena Van Der Woodsen! Wonderful to have you back!!"

Nate twirled around quickly. "Serena?"

It soon become a cycle as Serena turned around. "Nate! Where's Blair?" Blair walked down the steps.

"Here", she announced bitterly. Serena was back to steal her spotlight, queen bee title, and most of all, boyfriend. This. Was. War.

End Flashback

But things were much better now. Serena got her own boyfriend, and Blair still had Nate. Perfect.

"So! Where to? Does three guys coffee shop sound okay with you guys?" Dan broke the silence. Serena nodded her head in agreement.

"We go there, like, waaay too often!" Blair protested. Nate showed he shared her opinion with just a quick roll of the eyes while he shamelessly pressed his lips firmly against Blair's.

Serena shrieked at the display before her, slightly irked that they acted as if she were not right there in front of them."You two! Get a room!"

"Sorry!" The modest apology seemed rather sincere at first, until they instantly involved themselves in another deep lip-locking. Serena palmed her forehead.

"Some things never change!" she sighed.

SIGHTINGS

B and N walking hand in hand down the street to Saks. Maybe to satisfy B's shoe crave, perhaps? S at Three Guys Coffee Shop with D, giggling and flirting. Has she really found true love? I guess so!!

Dan sat contemplating all that had happened. Like, how did he score Serena as his girlfriend?? He didn't have long to think before the impact of a snowball hitting his face woke him up like a bucket of cold water. "Serena!" he yelled at the culprit.

"Snowball fight!" She giggled. She pelted one at Dan yet again, but this time, he dodged it and it broke on the jacket of an unsuspecting target-- Blair.

"Ugh! S! What, is it your annual piss-everyone-off day?!"

"Ha! Sorry!" Serena said unconvincinely. Blair catapulted her own sticky snowball at random and it bumped into Nate, who had been idly watching his friends revisit their kindergarden years.

"Hey! Blairy!" Their little snowball fight didn't end there. A barrage of packed snowraineddown in the fielduntil Serena and Blairs' cell phones went off.

"It's gossip girl!!" Blair cried as she flipped open her cell.

"Probably with more gossip about us!" Serena added.

"Woah, it's like she's following us!" Nate said in reply to the quick update on their lives as Serena read aloud the passage.

"Hmm," Blair said, snapping her cell phone shut and turning to Serena "You were right, no surprise. But I'm not reading the rest."

Serena looked at her best friend. "Well, then, neither am I."

"Who is this 'gossip girl', anyways?" Dan asked bringing attention to a significant matter that had been far overlooked. Serena and Blair looked at each other with raised eyebrows.

"No one knows." Blair replied. Immediately, the two girls broke out in giggles.

"What's so funny?" Nate asked.

Blair took his hand. "Nothing!!"

Serena just smiled. She couldn't wait to see what would happed next.
