Author's Note: This story is an amalgamation of Gossip Girl (the TV version) and Twilight. It is all human and alternate universe where there was no Jenny/Nate drama, Dan and Jenny and rich, Jenny is the same age as the rest of the UESiders, and Lily and Rufus are married, Dan and Serena are still dating, Vanessa and Nate are dating, Bart and Chuck are closer than they are on the show, etc. It takes place in New York, on the Upper East Side. Bella is not clumsy. Renee and Charlie are happily married. Bella is not exceedingly shy, but she doesn't like attention, do you see what I mean? She is an incredibly talented and beautiful ballet dancer. The Cullen crew, Chuck, and the rest of the Gossip Girl people have been friends since they were babies. Pretend Vanessa's rich and they are all friends okay, I'm not going to write GG drama. No one outside of Chuck's family knows about Bella. Charlie Swan goes by Charlie Swan because he and Bart agreed that they didn't want to be compared to one another by society so they separated, however, they don't hate each other or anything like that. This a more Edward and Bella story, okay? There will be a touch of Gossip Girl drama when they become a couple, but there won't be any Blair/Serena/Nate drama. Chuck/Charlie/Renee/Bart play big roles but the others are only minor characters. Also, since this is AU and Bella is rich, she does like to shop and look nice, and wear heals and get made over and get presents but she's not bratty about it. I know that's OOC, but it's my story.

Also: This story may or may not be continued based on fan support or lack thereof.

Prologue

Charles "Chuck" Bass smiled and sipped his bubbly. Blair Waldorf, his lovely girlfriend, had just introduced herself cordially to his stuffiest aunt Regina. Much to everyone's surprise, Blair got along well with her, unlike anyone else in the family. Blair and Chuck had decided to announce themselves as a couple with their friends (Serena, Dan, Vanessa, Nate, Jenny, Edward, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and others) and their family so that no one would be taken by surprise if they were ever "spotted" on Gossip Girl. Suddenly Chuck's phone beeped, alerting him that he had a new text message.

I'm landing in 3 hours Leelee. – B.

His mouth dropped in shock. Only one person in the world called him LeeLee. It was a nickname for the last syllable in Charlie. He had missed her, having not seen her in two months due to a performance at her ballet company.

But, she was coming home? Where his friends would meet her? Where his girlfriend would meet her? But his father had never mentioned anything.

He looked up to see Blair giving him a strange, questioning look. He held up one finger and looked around the room. Yep, there they were. Standing in a corner, talking to Eleanor Waldorf and Cyrus Rose, his Aunt Renee and Uncle Charles, for whom he had been named.

What no one knew outside of his late mother, his father Bart Bass, him, and his aunt and uncle and his sister, was that he did, in fact, have a sister.

Bartholomew and Charles Swan were brothers and had been raised in the unthinkably wealthy lifestyle of the Upper East Side. When they had both completed Ivy League educations, Charles moved to Forks, Washington to pursue law and law enforcement. He quickly became the most sought after lawyer in the state. Due to his newly earned money and the old money he had been born into, Charles Swan had more money then anyone could possibly spend in 15 lifetimes.

Bart, who always had an eye for real estate, went into that business and made just about the same amount as his brother. Since their parents were dead, they had long inherited their estates in Georgia, Virginia, the Hamptons, and others.

Bart and Charles's grandparents had long been friends with Elizabeth and Edward Masen, parents of Esme Masen, wife of Carlisle Cullen and birth mother to Edward, Alice and Emmett Cullen, adoptive mother to Rosalie and Jasper Hale.

As such, Bart, his late wife, Charles and Renee were close friends with Carlisle and Esme, and Chuck, Blair, Serena, Nate, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, Alice and Edward had been friends since birth.

When Chuck had been 2 years old, his family had been visiting Charles and Renee in Washington, and his mother had given birth to his sister, Isabella Marie Bass. However, as Charles and Renee had no children they gave Isabella to his aunt and uncle to raise as their own. As soon as she could understand, Isabella had been told of the arrangement and she and Chuck visited frequently. Whenever he told his friends he was going to exotic islands to get drugs and drink, he would go to exotic islands, just with Isabella and not to drink as he said.

He loved his sister dearly and cared for her very much. He was very protective and sweet towards her. If any boy looked at her longer than he cared for, he did something about it. Isabella was sweet, smart, kind, and beautiful. Her heart shaped face was surrounded by hair the color of rich, dark wood and had gorgeously round sunburst, dark copper eyes. She had a slim, soft figure from 16 years of Ballet dancing and figure skating. She was poised and calm and genuinely nice to everyone.

Rosalie, Serena, Jasper, Alice, and Blair walked over to him, Alice and Jasper hand in hand, of course. They had been dating since Kindergarten. Rosalie and Emmett were marrying after college, Serena and Dan had been dating for two years, Vanessa and Nate had been dating for a few months, Jenny had a new boyfriend (whom Dan hated). Edward, however, was a major player and always had a different girl on his arm. He and Chuck had been like that for many years, sleeping around, drinking, doing drugs, but once Bella had turned 13 he stopped when she told him she was scared he would die of an overdose. Ever since then, only the occasional champagne or wine and almost no drugs, except for a joint with Nate.

"Chuck," Blair said, "What's wrong?" He shook his head. "Nothing." She smiled and mouthed "We'll talk later," and walked off with Serena and Alice and the girls to mingle. He headed toward his father. "Father, we need to talk. Bella is coming home? For how long? Where will she stay? Why is she coming home?" His father excused himself and took Chuck to the other side of the room. "Yes, son, Bella is coming home, my sweet baby girl is coming back to me," Bart said, smiling widely. Chuck smiled as well, for they both loved Bella very much. "Bella is home to stay son, she has been accepted to the New York Ballet company." Chuck was thrilled. Bella had been working for this her entire life. Her dream had come true. "Where will she stay, Father," Chuck asked, although he had a feeling he already knew the answer. "With you, son, in your suite." Chuck was happy at this news, he would be near his baby sister, be able to keep an eye on her and help her get settled. It was wonderful.

Blair walked over to Bart and Chuck. "May I borrow Charles for a few minutes, Mr. Bass, he simply must meet a charming couple I just met," she said. "Yes, Blair, of course, please excuse me." Blair grabbed Chuck's hand and walked with him over to a display of flowers. "Are you alright?" she asked while fixing his tie. "Yes, Blair, I'm fine. I just got some…good news, that's all." She smiled and took his hand again. They chatted over to another part of the room when Blair stopped and introduced him to Renee and Charles.

"Renee, you must meet my boyfriend, Charles Bass, meet Renee Swan," she said. Renee winked where Blair couldn't see and Chuck smiled.

"Pleasure to meet you, Renee," he said to her. "This is her husband, Charles Swan." He shook his uncle's hand. "Pleasure to meet you, sir." Charles (Charlie to Chuck in a less formal situation) smiled and touched his earlobe, a simple symbol they had developed years ago that meant "just go with it so we don't blow our cover." "Pleasure to meet you," he said again, "Blair, there is someone I would like you to meet out on the balcony," he grasped her hand and dragged her away from his relatives.

The rest of the party was a blur of family members, cocktails, friends, introductions, and good wishes for the couple. It ended around 11:30 p.m. and the guests went home. Around 30 minutes after the party ended, his phone beeped again.

At the airport, love, I'm about to hail a cab, see you tomorrow. Stay with Blair tonight and I'll be in your suite tomorrow, I have a key. We can have some fun while you help me get settled in and ready for the awful introductions I'm sure I have to face. Love you, can't wait to see you. – B. (A/N: I know it sounds kind of incesty, but there is a reason for that. Don't worry, I'm not a perv. Bella calls him love because they have a ton of nicknames for each other, being as close as they are, and all.)

Blair turned to him, and pulled off her sleeping mask and turned to face him, "Who is texting you at this hour?" He shook his head, "just a GG spotted, Nate and Vanessa are at Butter getting drinks." Blair nodded and went back to sleep. He smiled in the darkness and then lay back down next to Blair and soon fell asleep.
