Wake up, Manhattan's Elite! After all of Serena's drama, isn't it nice to have a mutual separation between N and K? While B is planning her annual masquerade bash, C is trying to convince K to be his...

"Hey Kyle!" Blair smiled her.

"Hey Blair." Kyle walked over and air-kissed her on the cheek. Yes, after sorting through all their problems, Kyle and Blair are now best-friends.

"I hear you are looking for a gorgeous dress for my party." Blair explained, looking through a rack of rather risque dresses.

Trying to show Nate and Chuck what their missing? Too bad they are both too busy chasing after Kyle to notice.

"Actually, I already found my dress, I was just stopping by to pick it up." Kyle looked up from the counter covered in unique masks.

Blair walked over and searched for the perfect one, the mask that would make her look like the queen and make Kyle look like a peasant.

Kyle reached over Blair and grasped a stunning black- feathered mask. "This will look great with my black lace and turquoise silk D&G dress."

"You mean the new Dolce?" Blair looked in shock.

"Yeah, my Uncle Mark is very close with the designers, and when I told him about your party, Niccolas Dolce sent me one personally." Kyle smiled at Blair. "Well, I'd better go. My stylist team is waiting at Chuck's suite for me." She said, already walking away from the cashier. "You know you love me!"

"Right." Blair muttered watching Kyle Vernon walk out of Bendel's.

Let's not be over-taken by jealousy B. You can show K up by throwing the best party of the year... second to K's birthday extravaganza next month of course.

Kyle took a deep breath.

"Come on Kyle!" Jenny smiled and pulled her out of the limo.

"Sir." Kyle curtised to Chuck.

"Mi'lady." Chuck smirked behind his red mask. "Have you seen Blair?"

Kyle laughed and rolled her eyes, which were on display since they contrasted the turquoise in her dress and mask. "No, why do you ask?"

"She pales in comparision to your beauty." Chuck seduced her.

Tried at least.

Kyle's gaze wandered as she tuned out Chuck and his non-sense. "Nate." She whispered.

Chuck followed her stare. "Kyle... Just remember to be careful."

"I know." Kyle leaned over and kissed Chuck on the cheek. She turned and made her way over to Nate.

"Hey, my masked man." Blair swooned, walking up and putting her hand on Nate's shoulder.

Nate ignored Blair and watched Kyle get intercepted by Serena and get caught into conversation about the new designer lines. A conversation that Nate knew Kyle wasn't intrested in.

Nate took Blair's hand off of his shoulder and went to find someone to use as a messenger.

"Miss Vernon?" A girl dressed in a pink gown asked.

Kyle turned around and the girl curtsied.

"I have word from your Phantom: He wishes forgiveness from his Angel of Music and that you would meet him under the lights in the center of everyone's stare." The girl finished.

Kyle giggled. "Tell him: He must forget all that he has seen or heard. The Phantom must reveal himself for all to see and embrace what we once had, just as I will."

The red-head walked away quickly.

"What's with the code?" Serena asked, mesmerized.

"Me and... someone went to go see The Phantom of the Opera when it was featured on Broadway." Kyle explained.

Serena smiled. "That's so romantic!"

Yeah S, it will be even more romantic when B sees the new Queen and her masked King under the main lights. Hope B has someone else to kiss at midnight...

"Ten... Nine..." Everyone chanted.

Kyle made her way through the crowd. She touched his shoulder and took off her mask when he turned around.

"Kyle..." Nate smiled. He took off his half-mask.

"Two... One!!" Everyone screamed.

Nate touched the side of Kyle's face and his lips touched hers.

Blair searched through the crowds for her beloved Nate. She inhaled sharply as she saw his arms... and lips wrapped in Kyle's.

Well, Well, Well. Just when B thought her life was back on the top of the list. laugh She finally realized... that it was K's party to begin with.

"Come on!" Serena laughed, pulling Kyle through the lobby.

"Fine!" Kyle ran with her to the streets of the Upper East Side.

"Where first?" Serena asked, smiling.

"You're the one so hyped to go shopping. You pick." Kyle poked her.

"Chuck." Serena said softly.

"What?" Kyle looked confused. She felt hands on her waist, Kyle smirked.

"Van der Woodsen... Kyle... What are you doing out by yourselves?" Chuck asked, smiling.

"Trying to get away from you... Apparently that's impossible." Kyle quipped.

Chuck laughed. "Your charm is part of the reason I love you Ky."

Kyle shook her head. "We have to go shopping for the Bass Breakfast tomarrow morning." Kyle took his hands off of her waist.

"Well then," Chuck held onto her hands. "I shall see you in the morning." He kissed the top.

Kyle rolled her eyes. "Chuck, we live in the same suite." She brushed past him.

Serena chuckled and followed Kyle.

Let's all put on our cutest party dresses and mingle with the Elite this early morning!

"Good morning Kyle." Bart Bass smiled at her.

"Hey Mr. Bass." Kyle hugged him lightly. "Where's your son? I need to talk to him."

"Upstairs." Bart rolled his eyes. "He takes forever."

Kyle quietly made her way into Chuck's suite and into his bedroom. She stood behind Chuck as he splashed water onto his face.

Chuck sighed. He stood straight and smirked. "Hey you."

"I thought I'd surprise you..." Kyle looked over on the counter next to the sink. "But... It seems someone was here before me." She picked up a lacy black La Perla bra.

Chuck smiled at her. "I'm Chuck Bass."

"Of course you are." Kyle threw it in his face. "Too bad I'm the one girl that doesn't care." She turned and walked out of the bathroom.

Chuck laughed and followed her. He tackled her onto his bed. "Of course you care, why else were you here for?"

"Not for you to have." Kyle pushed him off of her and sat up. "I wanted to tell you that Gossip Girl says that... they are back together."

Chuck laid back on the bed. "Really?" He scoffed. "I thought Nathaniel had better taste, since he got your kiss at the Masquerade Bash."

Kyle rolled her eyes, but, still couldn't help but smile. "Too bad you'll never get it."

Chuck sat up next to her. "Well, we can always cause gossip together."

Kyle lifted one eyebrow, it was one of her signatures. "How?"

"My dear Ky, by walking into the Bass Brunch together, of course." Chuck smirked.

Kyle smiled. "Fine, you know I love stirring up new rumors."

"Of course." Chuck held out his hand.

Kyle put her hand in his own.

Seen: C and K walking down the main stairs into the stares of everyone in attendance at the Brunch, looking very close. Wow, I would've never guessed those two would do anything together.

Next up in our cute Louis Vuitton schedule books? K's own birthday extravaganza of course. Let's all hope we get invites! We all know B isn't on the list... or is she? Either way, K will get her way, just like I always do.

You know you love me,

XOXO
