This is how I wish 5x24 had ended. I might continue with this, but only if people expressly ask me to.


A week passed and Chuck and Blair spent every moment together. One particular morning, Chuck looked over to Blair, sleeping like an angel next to him in bed and smiled. He brushed a stray lock of hair away from her face and her eyes slowly opened. "Morning," he said softly.

"Morning," Blair smiled softly at him.

"I have a surprise for you," Chuck said, barely trying to hide his enthusiasm. He pulled two tickets from behind him and grinned. "We're going to take a trip."

Blair sat up and examined the plane tickets. She beamed and looked up at Chuck. "Paris?"

Chuck nodded. "I know some fine people over there that might be able to help me with my current situation. Plus, it's Paris."

Blair giggled. "Yes, of course, oh my goodness yes." Chuck chuckled and they kissed like newlyweds.

When they pulled away, Blair smiled wickedly with an eyebrow raise and said, "Scheming in the city of love – what could be better?"

Chuck smiled in reply. Together, he knew that she and he could take down Bart and have a hell of a good time doing so. He thought of the ring in his desk drawer and imagined how Blair would react when he brought her to the Eiffel Tower and asked her to be his partner in crime for life. After that, nothing could be better.
