Blair, Kati Farkas, Serena, and Isabel Coates strode, with Blair and Serena centered, of course, towards Constance Billard School. Blair and Serena were the queen bees, with Kati and Isabel behind them. They were the 'It' girls, and everyone wanted to be them.

"Hey! Blair! Serena!" Adoring girls would shout out their greetings to the girls as they strutted their way towards the doors of their girls-only private school. They only waved slightly and exchanged subtle smiles.

"S, it's only 8 days 'till the party. Time to give out invites." Blair mentioned suddenly.

Serena nodded in agreement. "Right." Serena motioned for Kati and Isabel to come into a gathering.

Blair handed Kati, Isabel, and Serena a stack of invitations. "You all pass them out.''

Isabel looked up. "What about you? It's not fair if you don't have to do anything!!" she whined.

Blair shook a handful of invitations in front of Isabels' face.

"I'll pass them out too." she replied. She turned on her heel, and that, the girls knew, meant get to work!!

"Jenny! Here's your invitation!" Serena yelled across the schoolgrounds. That only proved to get EVERYONE'S attention...

Dear Readers,

Got your invitations to possibly the hottest party of the year yet? I do! Serena Van Der Woodsen is throwing it, with the help of Blair Waldorf, so it's gonna be one heck of a party! Go shopping, 'cause they'll expect pressies... except, what do you get for the two girls who already have everything? Well, for Blair, how 'bout shoes? And for Serena... well, how about a steady boyfriend? Rumors are; she and Dan are broken up. For good? Nope!

-You know You Love Me,

xoxo,

B, looking as gorgeous as ever, passing out invites on the steps of the Mets. Did you get yours yet? N enjoying a joint on the steps of the Mets while B was passing out the invites. Hmmm... they can't seem to get enough of each other, can they?

Serena and Blair were sitting in Three Guys Coffee shop, gossiping and drinking coffee. "So..." Blair said anxiously, "How's it going with you and Dan? Gossip Girl says you two broke up!"

Serena raised an eyebrow at Blair. "You actually believe all that crap?"

Blair blushed a deep red, obviously embarrassed. "Well S, you don't always have a steady boyfriend... and... besides, Dan is kind of... you know..." she finished mumbling.

"What? A street rat?! I always knew you were quick to judge B, but gosh! Dan is a nice guy and just because everyone thinks I can't keep a guy for more than 5 minutes, I didn't think you'd give into that bullsh- " she suddenly stopped midsentence and wordlessly rose from her chair, then said coldly, "I've gotta go." She spun around on her heel and left.

Blair just sighed and took a sip of her coffee. She had gotten Serena mad... and a mad Serena was.. almost as bad as a bad Blair, maybe even as bad. And a bad Blair was... well, just bad news.

"What should I give Blair this Christmas?" Nate posed an innocent question to his mischievous best friend- Chuck.

A horny smile pulled at the edges of Chuck's mouth and he licked his lips. "Losing your virginity together." See, a thing no one knew about Nate except for Chuck and Blair was that, well, Nate was still a virgin. He and Blair decided to wait and lose it together. But if it were up to him, he and Blair would be doing it right now.

"You know what? I think you're right!" Nate fell victim to Chuck's devious gift solution, but is that really such a bad thing? "But come on, seriously? She likes, you know, 'things.'"

Chuck thought about this for a while. "I saw her looking at a diamond necklace... get her that!" In Nate's head, though, something way more special appeared.

"No... Chuck, I'm going to give her the ring."

Chuck stared at his friend and stammered, " Bu-bu-but it's a family heirloom! You sure your mom and dad will say yes?" Nate nodded his head vigorously.

"Blair and I will get married anyways." he concluded happily.

He wasn't happy long before Chuck threw his head back and roared with laughter. "Didn't you say she's so controlling?" Nate's eyes appeared to be watching something in the distance; something that wasn't...there.

"That was before. She's changed." Nate tried to convince Chuck who laughed yet again.

"I'm going to go check out that leggy lady over there while you keep daydreaming, 'kay?" With that, he walked over to the mesmerizing 20- something lady across the park from them, leaving Nate alone. But not for long.

"Hey! Natie!" Blair plopped down next to her dumbfounded boyfriend on the park bench, waking him out of his dazed state. She snuggled against him to keep warm, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Weird," he thought," I just wished Blair would come over here!"

As if reading his mind, Blair said, " I'm here!" Nate smiled and bent down for a long-awaited tongue battle with his adorable girlfriend.
