Chapter 1 – Don't walk out of your house with your clothes on

Desiree Paige Ferguson stepped out of the sleek town car, which had stopped in front of the grand apartment located in New York's exclusive Upper East Side. "This is it!" squealed her model-thin mother as they entered the penthouse. The Fergusons had just moved to New York from Paris. So far, Desiree hated New York. The ugliness was everywhere. From the homeless person that snoozed on the bench in Central Park, to the garish yellow taxis that seemed to be everywhere. She longed for the quaint and mostly quiet streets of Paris.

Curling her lip in disgust, she grabbed her large denim Louis Vuitton hobo and yelled, "I'm going out!" Without listening for a reply, she stalked off and hailed a cab. "Saks Fifth Avenue!"

"I told you!" exclaimed Serena van der Woodsen to her best friend. Blair twirled in front of the spotless mirror before her and scrutinized herself. The two were shopping for outrageously short dresses for no apparent reason. Blair was wearing a bright blue Marc by Marc Jacobs dress that matched her eyes. "I do look pretty hot," she conceded, grinning at her blonde friend. "Now lets get out of here! I promised I'd meet Dan at 7 for dinner," Serena complained. "Oh please, he can wait for you," scoffed Blair who obviously still didn't approve of Dan Humphrey, the boy Serena was dating.

The two girls headed towards the counter to pay when Blair collided with a petite girl with mesmerizing eyes. The two girls were lying on the floor in a heap of dresses that Blair was buying. Blair squinted at the girl. Are her eyes…purple? She thought to herself as she took Serena's hand and began picking up her dresses. The girl picked up the blue dress that Blair was about to buy and walked towards the changing rooms to try it on. "What the fuck?" Blair swore. Serena and Blair stared on in amazement as the girl with the violet eyes vanished into the changing rooms. "Lets go," said Serena, "it's just a dress, Blair!" Narrowing her eyes, Blair strode towards the changing rooms they had just left. "It's not just a dress, it's my dress," she replied, dragging Serena along with her. She had noticed which cubicle the girl had gone into and pulled open the curtain. "Blair!" gasped Serena. The girl's jaw dropped and her purple eyes widened. She stood there, clad scantily in her bright pink La Perla bra and panty set, her face turning the same color as her lingerie. "Sorry for the interruption, honey. I believe you have something of mine," Blair smiled sweetly and picked up the dress that lay on the floor. She then flashed her signature I'm-a-bitch-but-I-can-get-away-with-it smile and strolled to the counter to pay for the dress.

Had a nice time shopping?" Ryan Ferguson smirked at his sister. Desiree said nothing and glared at him. "It's all over Gossip Girl, you know," he continued with that devastatingly handsome grin still on his face. The Ferguson twins were lounging in their new living room, the sunshine streaming through the open French windows. "Give me that!" Desiree grabbed her brother's silver Treo and sure enough, there were pictures of her in only her bra and underwear with a look of utter disbelief on her face. "Ugh, who is this Blair Waldorf bitch anyway?" she asked while scrolling down and reading what Gossip Girl had written.

Spotted:

B and S at Saks trying on sexy little dresses, what for? Any parties that I don't know about? Oh well, its not as though we need excuses to buy gorgeous dresses do we? B again, at the changing room at Saks ogling a blonde beauty with deep purple eyes (huh?!). Oh, did I mention that the girl was only dressed in lingerie? Well, well, well…is B into girls now? Wonder what N has to say about that…

Another handsome newbie bearing an uncanny resemblance to the girl at Saks, was seen on a bench in Central Park glued to his Treo and occasionally grinning at the screen. Creepy, much? Oh well, in New York, you can get away with anything if you're beautiful.

Summer has officially begun and I have a feeling its going to be fabulously hot with these newcomers in town. Well, I'm off to buy some new bikinis for the summer. Until then...

You know you love me,

XOXO
