Disclaimer: We do not own Roswell or Gossip Girl. The "Gossip Girl" we set up for this fic (the email) is in no way the real Gossip Girl.

Summary: When Liz Parker's parents get a divorce, she has to move all the way to NYC where she has to meet and blend in with Chuck Bass and the Upper East Side. Problem is, in New York, everyone loves a good scandal. And what bigger scandal is there than the Chuck Bass... taken? Seems like everyone's going to be watching Gossip Girl for this scoop.

Chapter Six:

Elizabeth looked around. Beautiful people talking about superficial things. She turned around to head for the bar and as she passed a group of girls she heard one of them mention the name Bass. Where had she heard that before?

Liz shook it off and walked more determinately toward the bar when suddenly, a man blocked her path.

"Excuse me-," She looked up into the handsome smirking face of the boy from lunch.

"No, excuse me from not knowing your name yesterday. I was completely remiss in my duties," Chuck replied smoothly.

Elizabeth looked up at him dubiously, "Duties?"

Chuck opened his mouth before a ring came from his pocket and her purse simultaneously. All around the room, vibrations and rings could be heard.

Elizabeth pulled out her phone and saw two new Gossip Girl messages. She sighed as she inwardly cursed Maria for making her subscribe. She flipped open her phone and was shocked to see… well, her!

There, on Gossip Girl, was a picture of Liz coming down the ballroom stairs not ten minutes ago. She swiftly read the caption.

Hello there. Gossip Girl here, once again, to report on the scandalous lives of the Upper East Side's Elite. It seems that today, we have a new player in the game. Elizabeth Van Leih… but let's just call her New Girl. Let's see how New Girl fits in with the sharks, shall we? Here's hoping they don't take a bite out of her… then who would entertain us?

You Know You Love Me

XOXO

Gossip Girl

Liz was shocked. She had read the occasional Gossip Girl text and had known that they were about real people, but her? No way. Liz took a deep breath before reading the second text. Liz was shocked! There was a picture of her that had to have only been taken a second ago with her next to Café Boy.

Me again. Seems like New Girl did jump in with the sharks, and the worst one. That's right. The one, the only, Chuck Bass. That's one way to get a reputation in Manhattan, but probably not the best way, New Girl. Really, ten seconds from your intro into Manhattan's Elite and you're already getting dirty with C? Tisk tisk, New Girl. We just got our playboy back, and we're not giving him up without a fight.

And Who Am I? Now, That's a Secret I'll Never Tell

XOXO

Gossip Girl

Liz needed to sit. Chuck Bass? Now she remembered his name… what did Gossip Girl mean about his reputation?

She swiftly walked away from Chuck as he continued reading his own Gossip Girls texts. She slid to the darker end of the bar and ordered a long island iced tea. Technically, she wasn't old enough to drink, but as her mother had told her… in New York, rules don't matter if you have enough money.

She took her drink and walked quietly out a side door to a balcony, escaping Chuck's searching eyes. She leaned across the railing and took a small sip and sighed. Was this the way her life was going to be the entire year?

XOXO XOXO XOXO XOXO

Maria walked out of a crowded store. She looked around the mall and decided it was time for dinner as she headed towards the food court. She stood in line impatiently, bored out of her mind. Maria's gaze softened. It was times like these that the loss of her two best friends was more noticeable. If Alex were still alive, he'd have goofed around, making the time pass more quickly. And if Liz hadn't have moved, she would have been at the mall with Maria, helping her choose clothes, gossiping about boys. Girl stuff.

Maria rolled her eyes in self-deprecation as she felt tiny prickles in the back of her eyes as she held in her tears. She knew she was lying to herself. Even if Liz had stayed in Roswell… the way Maria had talked to her… She knew Liz would never have forgiven her so easily.

She shook her head and closed her eyes in an effort to empty her mind of those sad thoughts. A loud cough came from behind her. She opened her eyes and blushed as she realized that she had been holding the line up. She rushed through and looked for a place to sit and eat. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted someone she could sit with, but she wasn't sure if she should. She looked around some more, but realizing that there was nowhere else, she made her way to the table.

"Hey, Isabel. Can I sit?" She asked, smiling slightly.

Isabel blinked in shock, but nodded anyway.

Maria sat down and started to eat in awkward silence. Suddenly, they both heard rings. Isabel took a drink as she easily slid her phone from her purse, ignoring Maria fumbling to find hers.

Isabel opened it up and promptly choked on her soda.

Maria looked up questioningly, but Isabel was too surprised to do anything but gape at her Gossip Girl text. Maria snickered at the sight of soda dribble coming from the corner of the Ice Queen's mouth, but quickly shut up as her own eyes bulged at her text message.

"Liz?!" They both yelled.

Chuck had to pull a lot of strings to be standing where he was. Normally, he didn't put in more than minimal effort to attain a girl, but Elizabeth Van Leih had managed to capture his attention.

Currently, Chuck stood, waiting in the intense New York heat, in front of Elizabeth's penthouse building. It had taken quite a bit of sweet-talking and name throwing for him to gain the necessary information, but he now had it and he was making good use of the information.

Chuck reached into the inside pocket of his Armani suit and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He then reached down into his pants pocket for a lighter. He inhaled deeply, relishing the rush of tobacco in his lungs. With high and mighty Serena and good boy Eric around, his father had been keeping him to a higher standard than he had bothered to previously. This had been Chuck's first cigarette in a little less than a month.

He smiled at his luck as he saw Elizabeth leaving the hotel just a couple minutes after Chuck had first arrived at her home. He watched as she hurried down the front steps and into the throng of traffic before flicking his cigarette to the ground and hurrying behind her.

"Hello again, Elizabeth," He greeted as he came up beside her.

He laughed at her shocked face before she managed to cover it up with a smooth, "Hello, Bass."

"You disappeared last night without finishing our conversation," He started.

"I wasn't aware we were having one," Elizabeth responded, borderline rudely.

Chuck laughed in his sinfully wicked way as he then answered, "Whether or not you knew we were having a conversation is of no concern to me. We were having one and now you need to make it up to me."

Liz blinked at his audacity, "Excuse me?"
"Allow me to take you out tomorrow night? Eight thirty?" Chuck replied.

"I don't even know you!" Elizabeth looked at him as though he were crazy. Though, given some of the rumors she had heard last night about the things he'd done, he might be.

Chuck smiled sexily, "That's where the dating comes in."

Liz didn't know what it was about the way Chuck had said the word 'dating' but it clearly illustrated that 'dating' had little to do with dates and more to do with what would happen after.

"I don't know anything about you," She repeated, trying harder to get lost in the crowd.

"Then we have a clean slate. Get to know me," Chuck tried, before a dark look on his face appeared, "Unless knowing is the problem. Tell me, what gossip about the Chuck Bass is out there now?"

Liz was stuck. She really didn't believe in gossip, but the things people had said about him… Also, she had read a couple things about him on Gossip Girl back in Roswell…

"Alright. One date," She agreed, "Tomorrow at eight thirty."

Chuck smiled victoriously making her wonder if his anger at the gossip surrounding him had just been a ploy that she had fallen for.

She walked up three small steps and reached out a hand to push in a large glass door, but before it could reach the solidness of the gold frame it was snagged by a larger, cooler hand.

She turned sideways, eyes wide as she watched him slowly bring up her left hand to his lips and giving it a small squeeze before dropping it.

"Thank you, Elizabeth. I look forward to tomorrow."

And with that, Chuck Bass disappeared into the heavy crowd, leaving only Liz's blushing cheeks and slightly labored breathing as proof that he had ever been there.

Elizabeth pushed through the door and went straight to the private elevator, hidden in the back of the lobby. She pressed the button for the highest floor in the entire building. She walked out of the elevator in a daze before wandering between plants, couches, and people before making it to the back of the floor.

She barely looked over at the secretary who gave Liz the go ahead before walking into the post office and literally collapsing in the chair in front of a large desk.

The aging man behind the desk raised an eyebrow at her candidness but made no remark, simply continuing to look through his papers.

A good five minutes later, Liz finally spoke.

"I think I'm about to go on a date with a total man whore."


Well, well, well. What do we have here? Seems like New Girl just couldn't resist our resident playboy's charms. New Girl knows the score; knows his reputation. Could it be that she hopes to accomplish what B couldn't? Taming the wild Bass? Or is she just looking for what every other girl in New York is looking for? One night with the infamous Chuck Bass. Looks can be deceiving, we'll have to see this one out…
