The next day...

Blair pulled up in her limo and saw Chuck sitting, waiting for her.

"Chuck!!"

Chuck turns and grinned at her. "Hey Blair."

"I got you a present."

"Really what?"

Blair reached into her backpack and pulled out a Theory 'Clover' Cashmere Silk Scarf.

"I know that you might now want to wear it, but I was at Bendels yesterday and I saw it. I bought it for you."

Chuck smiled and wound the scarf around his neck. "I love it."

Blair beamed and threw her arms around his neck.

"You wanna go to the swings?"

Blair nodded and followed Chuck.

Just then Serena popped out of nowhere and hugged Blair.

"Blair!"

"Serena!"

They pulled apart and Serena handed her and Chuck both a blue envelope.

"What's this?" Chuck looked wary.

"An invitation to my birthday party!"

"What's the theme?" Asked Blair.

"My mommy said the theme was movies."

Blair looked ecstatic. "So I can dress up as Holly Golightly?"

Serena nodded and said,"I gotta go find Dan and Nate so I can give them their invitations."

She rushed off spotting Nate at once and handed him his invitation while Blair and Chuck stood there.

"So..Nate's gonna be there."

Blair looked at Chuck curiously. "How do you know?"

"Nate likes Serena, don't you know?"

Blair shook her head.

With Nate and Serena...

"So are you gonna go?"

Nate nodded eagerly and said,"Yea. So um.. you wanna go the jungle gym?"

Serena spotted Dan and shook her head. "I'm gonna catch up with Dan. I'll see you later."

Serena fled, not seeing the light in Nate's eyes diminish.

"Dan!"

"Hey Serena!"

She held out a blue envelope for him.

He took it and opened it. "Your birthday's coming up?"

Serena nodded. "Are you gonna come?"

Dan looked at her eagerness and nodded.

He looked at the invite again. "The theme is movies?"

Serena nodded again.

"And what is the birthday girl gonna be?"

"A princess, but I don't know which one."

Dan took Serena's hand and said,"I think you should be Sleeping Beauty."

"You know about Sleeping Beauty?"

Dan blushed. "Jenny likes watching it."

Serena laughed. "Well then maybe you should be Phillip."

With B and C...

"I bet I can swing higher than you!" Yelled Chuck.

"Bet you can't!"

They started giggling, but stopped when a girl stopped in front of them.

"Oh look it's Snow White. Hi Chuck!"

Chuck stopped his swing. "Get out of here Georgina."

"Fine. I was just gonna ask you if you've seen Serena."

Chuck looked at Blair who looked at him with a sudden urgency.

"No, I haven't." He answered coolly. "Will you leave now?"

Georgina huffed and stalked away.

"God I hate her so much."

Chuck looked at Blair with his eyebrows raised.

"Why?"

Blair looked at the ground. "She's always trying to get Serena to be mean to me."

"Well she won't."

Blair smiled at him. "So what are you gonna be for Serena's birthday party?"

Chuck shrugged. "Some guy with a scarf?"

"So you're gonna start wearing scarfs again, right?"

Chuck nodded and started to swing again. "Thanks for giving me that scarf. I really like it."

"You look good in it."

"So, what are you gonna get Serena for her birthday?"

"Um... I don't know. I'll look for something at Bendels later or Bergdorfs."

Chuck bowed his head and looked sheepish. "Can I go with you?"

"Sure."

With Nate...

Nate loosened his tie and plopped down in the sandbox. He looked to his right and saw...Vanessa.

"Hey," he muttered.

She merely glanced in his direction before continuing to make her castle.

"Look I'm sorry. I don't know what I did to you-"

Nate was cut off by a high pitched voice. "Natie, why are you apologizing to her?"

Nate and Vanessa looked up and saw...dun dun dun DUN!! Georgina.

Nate ran a hand through his hair and said,"Uh...cuz she's nice?"

Georgina smiled as evilly as a five year old can and said,"Well if I were you, I wouldn't be spending time with her."

Nate looked confused. "Okay?"

Georgina gave a laugh and walked away.

Vanessa had one eyebrow raised. "Okay that was weird."

Once they were all ushered inside, a young brown haired man around the age of 22 stood up and said,"Hello, I'm your new teacher. My name is Mr. Scott. Mrs. Bowman has won the lottery and moved to Monaco."

Serena raised a hand. "Where's Monaco?"

"Good question." He pulled down the map and pointed to Monaco. "This is Monaco. If your parents are rich, which I'm sure they are, you can go here. I've been there during Christmas and its amazing."

Chuck looked intrigued. He raised his hand. "What do they have there?"

"Beaches, Monte Carlo which is a resort, but they only speak French there."

Chuck nodded and started thinking of asking his dad whether or not they had a resort in Monaco.

After a few more questions, it was time to learn the alphabet!

One of the student teachers took Dan, Blair, Nate and Vanessa along outside to learn the song.

Xo

It was lunch time!! Blair and Chuck sat next to Serena and Dan and they all dug in to their lunch. Lunch choices for today were: Spaghetti and Meatballs with Apple Juice and Teddy Grahams; A pastrami sandwich with fries and Fruit Punch; Mac and Cheese with Chocolate Pudding and Corn; And a slice of Cheese Pizza with fries and Orange Juice.

Chuck chose the Pastrami. Blair chose the Mac and Cheese. Serena chose Spaghetti and so did Dan.

Once they received their food, Serena noticed that Nate was sitting alone.

She waved at him. "Nate! Come sit here!"

Chuck's head shot up immediately and glared at Nate, challenging him to accept.

Nate, blinded by Serena's five year old beauty, came and sat across from her, Dan, Blair and Chuck.

Serena, oblivious to the awkwardness, started talking. "You guys are all going to my party, right?"

They all nodded and returned to their food, except Nate who was still staring at Serena.

After lunch, Serena dragged Dan to the field while Chuck and Blair were making sandcastles. Nate, however went to find Vanessa.

"Hey!! Vanessa!"

He approached her quickly and said,"I need to talk to you."

She averted her eyes and said,"Me, too."

"What I wanted to say is that..."

"I like you."

"I'm moving."

"HUH?!"

"HUH?!"
