The Chalet
The Chalet
Disclaimer: Gossip Girl's not mine, but I wish it were!!!!!
Serena Van der Woodsen was actually excited about going out to the chalet at Vail for two weeks. She was even excited about Blair, Nate and Chuck going with her. She threw her Louis Vuitton suitcase on her large bed, and began throwing tiny undies unceremoniously inside.
"Hey S. Excited about Vail?" Blair said, as she slunk into the room. She looked radiant as usual, in a pair of (gasp) 7 for all Mankind skinny jeans, and a Ralph Lauren blazer over a vintage white shirt.
"Like you wouldn't believe. If you can think it, I'm actually kind of a ski junky." Serena said, turning slightly pink.
"A girl of many talents." Blair grinned. "I actually think I'm excited. Just me, my best friend, hot skier boys…"
Serena sighed. "Blair, I think I should tell you…Nate and Chuck invited themselves out there too."
Blair stared at her for a long moment before speaking. "What?" she spat.
"Blair, I'm so sorry. I couldn't stop them, Chuck said he wants to get out of here for Christmas vacation, and my mother…I'm sorry." Serena weakened. To her surprise, Blair smiled.
"Well. We'll just have to keep clear of them. I mean, could be an issue, as we have to share living quarters, but hey. We'll just have to be big girls." Blair said.
Serena was positively mollified by Blair's optimism. "Have you ever gone skiing?" Serena asked skeptically.
"Who do you think you're talking to, Brooklyn's sister? Of course I've been skiing!" Blair laughed. She was acting so weird.
And then it came to Serena.
Blair was happy about skiing with Chuck and Nate.
"You're happy about them coming." Serena said quietly.
"No, Serena, you're sadly, very sadly mistaken." Blair giggled in an evil tone. "I'm happy that Chuck won't be back here to mess with other girls while I'm gone. He is Chuck Bass, after all. You never know."
"Blair, I can't believe my ears. You still care for Chuck Bass. Chuck Bass." Serena said, incredulous.
Blair laughed. "Serena, Serena, Serena. Of course I still care about Chuck. He's always in the back of my mind, or the front of my mind, as the case may be."
"You'd never admit that to his face though." Serena said.
"Of course not. Better to keep him guessing." Blair smiled wickedly.

Gossip Girl here as our favorite four prepare to jet themselves off to the Colorado ski resorts for the next two weeks. Where's cabbage patch, S? I just happen to have correspondents out in the Rockies, so I'll keep you updated.
You know you love me,

Blair hauled her luggage onto the Van der Bass jet. Her once happy mood had turned sour when she saw Chuck kissing some bleach blond girl goodbye.
"Relax B. It's probably just a jealousy thing. And he knows he can't have a girl like you." Serena said, as she took her seat next to Nate.
"Salutations, Nathaniel." She said.
"Same to you." Nate said, saluting her as she sat in the seat directly across from Serena.
Chuck boarded the jet, and sat in the other seat, facing Nate, which just happened to be next to Blair. Blair heaved a long sigh.
"Nice to see you, Waldorf." Chuck said.
"Just the opposite for me, Bass." She said, and faced the window.
"Wow. Tough crowd." Nate said, granting a smack on the arm from Serena.
"So has anyone else been to Vail before?" Serena asked, trying to melt the iciness of the surrounding people.
"I'm not Brooklyn. Of course I have." Chuck smirked.
"That's my comeback." Blair said, turning to dry ice. Danger zone.
"Well, you'll just have to learn to share." Chuck said.
"Leave it, man." Nate said, sensing the tense waves Blair was putting out.
Chuck slumped in his seat. Feeling in need of a drink, Nate stood. "Drinks, anyone?"
"Scotch." Chuck said.
"Vodka, tonic and lime." Serena said.
"Something strong. Very strong." Blair said.
"Wait!" Serena cried. "Let's play spin the bottle. Grab an empty bottle while you're over there, Nate."
"Oh-kay…" Nate said, and pulled an empty wine bottle from the liquor cabinet.
When Nate had the drinks, Serena began. "Okay. Blair, if you'll do the honors."
"Without a doubt." Blair said, and twisted the bottle between her fingers.
The bottle landed on Nate. He sighed as Blair began her tirade.
"If you had to spend the rest of eternity with any of the three of us, who would it be?" She asked.
"Serena." He smiled sheepishly as she gasped in surprise. "Alright, let me spin."
The bottle fell on Chuck, who smirked playfully.
Nate rubbed his palms together. "Alright Bass, we're just getting started. Now, tell us the worst lie that you've ever told."
Chuck swallowed hard and turned to Blair. "Hm...difficult. I think that would have to be when I told Serena I was cool with her and the cabbage patch messing around in the Palace. Yes, Serena, that was a lie."
Serena's mouth hung open uncharacteristically. Chuck spun, and it landed on Serena.
"Dear step sister…tsk tsk." Chuck said. "What is the dirtiest thing you've ever done?"
"Well, nothing compared to you, but I did make out with a guy to get into a club once when I forgot my fake ID." Serena said, causing the entire table to laugh. "I felt so…ugh. I washed my mouth about fifty times that night.
"But you've made out with cabbage patch." Blair protested. "That must be like kissing a thrown up clam strip."
"Nicely said, Waldorf." Chuck said, and smacked her on the back, receiving a deserved glare from Blair.
"Come on, Blair. Dan's not that bad." Nate reasoned.
"He acts like he was born on his Dad's tour bus. Looks like it too." Blair said.
"I'd rather not talk about Dan." Serena said. "We're broken up, and that's it."
"Alright S. Sorry." Blair said, and hugged Serena. Nate couldn't help wishing he was the one comforting her.
Chuck wasn't just wishing. Chuck was going to get Blair, one way or another.
Soooooo
