A/N: Enjoy!

Nate looked at the two girls in front of him. What did they have planned? They were both smiling. Blair spoke first.

"Come on, Archibald."

She linked her arm with his left arm. Serena smiled.

"That's right. You're with us now."

She linked her arm with his right arm. He was still confused. The girls started leading him toward a group of girls on the other side of the pool. They stopped in front of the girls. Blair spoke first.

"Can we have everyone stand in a line please?"

The girls looked at her like she was crazy. Serena cleared her throat before speaking.

"Now."

The girls did as they were told. Blair found Nate a chair and sat him down. He was more confused than ever. Serena turned to him.

"You are going to go speed dating?"

He raised an eyebrow.

"Speed dating?"

Serena chuckled.

"Yup."

The girls smiled at him. Blair turned to the girls in the line up. There were about eight of them. Blair spoke.

"Okay, now who wouldn't want to go on a date with this handsome guy?"

The girls looked at Nate. They all smiled at him. They were definitely interested. Nate just gulped. He gave the girls a small smile. Serena spoke to them.

"So you will each get five minutes with him."

Nate sighed. Who on earth is going to agree to actually do this? he thought. To his surprise the girls were getting excited. Blair got the first girl and sat her in front of Nate. She was five foot six, short brown hair and really tanned. Nate stuck out his hand for her to shake.

"Hello, I'm Nate Archibald."

She smiled.

"I'm Mia."

Nate smiled.

"So, enjoying the cruise so far?"

She rolled her eyes.

"It's alright, but I'd rather be on the moon."

Nate gulped. Okay then……… he thought. He smiled at her.

"The moon, huh? Do you want to be an astronaut or astronomer?"

She laughed.

"Astronaut? Astronomer? No way. I want to go to the moon so I could visit my other friends."

Girl's nuts he thought.

"Um…. Other friends?"

She nodded her head.

"Yup. Sometimes I think I can see them at night. But don't tell the government, then they surely will be taken away."

Nate looked down at his feet. What the hell is she on? he thought. For the remainder of the time she kept talking about how the moon was a great place to raise a family. He was so glad when the five minutes were up. Serena came up to him.

"So? How was it?"

He looked at her.

"Horrible."

She sighed.

"Well maybe the next one will be different."

He sighed. Anything will be better than that he thought. Serena walked away and the next girl came. She was around five foot four, she had shoulder length strawberry blond hair and a big smile on her face. She looked at him with her green eyes. She sat down in front of him and stuck out her hand.

"Hey, I'm Lindsay."

He smiled at her and shook her hand with his.

"I'm Nate."

She looked at him.

"It must be weird meeting all these girls."

"Yeah."

She grinned.

"Well I'll try to make it as comfortable as I can."

He couldn't help but smile. Then there was a tingling sensation in his stomach. What was it? He had never felt that way. They talked. They seemed to have a lot in common. Nate couldn't stop but smile when she smiled. No one ever had that type of effect on him. He was sad to see her go when the five minutes were up. She looked at him.

"Well I better go."

She reached out her hand.

"It was nice to meet you."

He smiled and shook her hand. Her soft hand.

"It was nice to meet you too. Bye."

She walked away. He looked at her until she was out of sight. She is something special he thought. Blair came up to him.

"I see you took a liking to her."

He smiled.

"I guess I did."

She smiled. She was glad his attention was shifting towards someone else. The other six girls weren't that interesting. One kept talking about a toe nail infection. Nate had tried not to throw up. Another girl asked him questions about his family and more importantly the money that came with it. Nate knew she was a gold digger from the start. He was glad when it was over. Serena and Blair walked over to him. Serena spoke first.

"So?"

He smiled.

"Thanks guys, but maybe this isn't for me."

Blair rolled her eyes before speaking.

"Well lets get in the water. We've kept you out here for a while."

He smiled.

"Finally."

The girls giggled before diving into the pool. Nate followed. They swam to the other boys. Chuck smiled when he saw Blair approaching. She swam right up to him and kissed him. He smiled when they parted.

"What were you doing with Nate?"

Blair smirked.

"Me and S were trying to find him a girlfriend."

Chuck raised an eyebrow.

"No offence, but I think he could manage to do that himself."

Blair smirked.

"Well he just needed a little push in the right direction."

Chuck rolled his eyes. He splashed Blair. She laughed.

"Just because you splash me doesn't mean I can't splash back."

She splashed him and soon they were in a water fight. Serena and Dan had joined. Eric saw how much fun they were having and decided to join in. Nate didn't want to join. Lindsay was still in his mind. The friends noticed him in la la land. Blair and Serena swam up to him. Serena splashed him. He came back into reality. Serena giggled before speaking.

"Thinking of someone?"

He smiled.

"Maybe."

Blair gasped.

"Who? Tell us!"

He smirked.

"Someone."

Serena splashed him again.

"Tell us!"

He sighed.

"Lindsay."

Blair and Serena's eyes grew confused. Serena spoke.

"Which one's Lindsay?"

Nate chuckled.

"The one with strawberry blonde hair and the body of an angel."

The girls giggled. He kept thinking about her. The others swam up to them. They were curious of what was going on with Nate. Chuck spoke.

"Nate, what's the matter with you?"

Before Nate could reply, Blair spoke.

"He's just thinking of a girl."

Dan's eyes widened in shock.

"Wow, maybe you'll be finding some summer loving."

Everyone stared at Dan. Chuck rolled his eyes before speaking.

"Humphrey, no one calls it summer loving anymore."

Everyone laughed. Dan let out a nervous laugh.

"Yeah……. I knew that."

Good one Dan he thought. They all played in the pool. Nate didn't see Lindsay again. I wonder where she went he kept thinking.

The next week and a half went by pretty quickly. Blair and Chuck spent a lot of time together. They went swimming every morning and played their seductive games every night. They did just about every activity a person could do on the ship. Serena and Dan had joined them but often went to spend time with themselves. Eric had a lot of fun. He never went near another dye bottle. Kyle would join them sometimes when they were hanging out, but would find an excuse to leave whenever Nate showed up. He still didn't want to forgive him. Nate's mind always seemed to have Lindsay in it. He hadn't seen her ever since the day at the pool. He desperately wanted to talk to her again. She seemed so down to earth. Carter and Sharon spent most of their time with each other. Sharon even introduced Carter to her mom. Everything seemed to be going great without Jenny in the picture. Carter even began to forget Jenny more and more each day. Jenny spent time cooped up in her room. She couldn't believe she had no one. No Dan because he was busy with Serena. No Hazel because she was still serving time. No Penny because she couldn't get on the ship because there were already too many people. No Carter because Sharon had taken him away from her. She didn't even have Sharon because little miss Sharon obviously thought she was better than her. Jenny sighed. The only good thing was that they were to reach the Bahamas in two hours. She couldn't wait. Maybe something good will happen. She got her stuff ready. She knew for a fact they would stay at least half the day because they needed to do maintenances and repair any damages. The ship finally stopped and most of the people aboard walked off. Jenny saw Sharon and Carter. She smiled and walked over to them.

"Hey you guys."

Carter gave her a small smile. Sharon didn't say anything. Jenny took a deep breath.

"Could I hang out with you guys today?"

Carter looked at Sharon. She looked at Jenny.

"If you want, but don't expect us to wait for you or anything."

Jenny shook her head. They started walking. Even though this wasn't the way she wanted to be treated, she knew she would need to start off small.

Meanwhile, Chuck and Blair made their way over to the dock where the ship was anchored. They waited for Serena, Dan, Kyle, Nate and Eric. They saw Kyle walking toward them. Blair smiled.

"Hey Kyle."

"Hey."

Chuck just gave him a nod implying that he knew he was there. A few minutes later, Serena, Dan and Eric were coming toward them. Eric had a huge grin on his face. He was glad to be off the ship. Dan and Serena had their fingers intertwined. They waited for Nate. Finally they saw him walking down with his sunglasses on. Once he finally reached them, Serena spoke.

"How about we go to the beach?"

They all agreed and made their way to the beach. A bunch of other people from the ship were there as well. Blair lay down some towels for her and Chuck to lay down on. She made sure there were no rocks there, so they wouldn't get hurt. She lay down and started putting sun tanning lotion onto her skin. Chuck came up to her.

"Need some help there, Waldorf?"

She smiled.

"Yes please."

She handed him the bottle of suntan lotion and he immediately started to apply it to her skin. She smiled when he was gentle with her. It was a side rarely seen. He finished and put the suntan lotion back. She looked at him.

"Thank you."

She got up and leaned toward him. Her lips touched his. His arms started to bring her closer. Dan and Serena were playing in the water. They were laughing and having a good time. Serena saw some sea doos. Then she saw a sign saying that they could be rented. She looked at Dan with a big smile on her face.

"Do you want to go jet skiing?"

"Sure but I've never been."

She laughed.

"Don't worry your with me."

She got out of the ocean. Dan followed. They walked up to Blair and Chuck. Eric and Kyle had gone to join a game of volleyball. Nate just sat there. He didn't feel like doing anything. Serena turned to Blair.

"Do you two want to join us? We're going jet skiing."

Chuck's eyes lit up. He loved jet skiing. It was one of the activities he enjoyed in Monaco. He smirked.

"We're in."

Blair looked at him. Serena smiled.

"Okay. You can rent them over there."

She pointed to the sign. She grabbed Dan's arm and pulled him away. Blair looked at Chuck.

"I've never been jet skiing before."

He smirked.

"Well there's a first time for everything."

She smiled at him. He got up and helped her get up. They walked over to the sign. A man allowed them to rent a sea doo. They put on their life jackets. Blair looked at the sea doo. She wasn't so sure. She looked out at the ocean. She saw Serena riding the sea doo. Dan sat behind her holding on for his life. Blair looked at Chuck. He put his arms around her. He spoke softly.

"Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you."

She smiled because she knew it was the truth. They separated and Chuck got on the sea doo first. Blair took a deep breath before she got on. She put her arms around Chuck's waist and he started the sea doo. They started travelling rapidly. Blair couldn't believe she was having a good time. They caught up to Serena and Dan. Serena spoke.

"B having fun?"

Blair smiled.

"Yes!"

Dan looked like he was going to throw up. Chuck laughed.

"Alright there Humphrey?"

He nodded his head. Serena giggled and turned back to look at Chuck and Blair.

"How about a race?"

Chuck smirked.

"I'll have to ask this princess."

He looked at Blair. She smiled at him.

"Of course. Let's go beat them."

He smirked and put the sea doo beside Serena and Dan's. Blair looked at Dan. He looked so sick. Blair smiled.

"Don't worry Cabbage Patch, it'll be alright."

He managed to give her a small smile. Chuck looked at Blair. She smiled and gave him a kiss.

"That was for good luck."

He smiled and turned around. Blair started to countdown.

"Three. Two. One. Go!"

Both sea doos took off. They were neck in neck. Blair was screaming. She loved the joy that was coming. Serena looked determined to beat her step-brother, but he wasn't going to let her. They made it to shore. Blair cheered. Chuck had won. They got off. Chuck hugged Blair. They were still cheering. Serena and Dan finally reached the shore. They got off. Chuck walked up to Serena.

"Well who won?"

Serena rolled her eyes.

"You did."

"And you better believe it!"

They returned the sea doos and went back to the place they had been at earlier. Dan volunteered to get some ice cream. Nate was still sitting in the same spot he had been at earlier. Serena sighed.

"Nate, why don't you go join Kyle and Eric in a game of volleyball? There are a ton of girls playing."

Nate smiled at the idea but he knew that Lindsay wasn't there. Blair sighed. It was her turn to try.

"Come on Nate. You can't sit there all day. And besides you are awesome at volleyball."

He still didn't do anything. Chuck decided he should at least try to do something.

"Nathaniel, maybe you should have a look around the beach for her."

Nate thought about. It does seem like a good idea he thought. He got up and went to go walk around the beach. He didn't see any sign of her. He was about to go back when a volleyball hit him on the head.

"Sorry!"

He picked up the volleyball. He looked up at the person who was coming to claim it. He couldn't believe it. There stood Lindsay. He smiled.

"Hey."

She smiled back.

"Hey. Sorry for hitting you in the head."

He chuckled.

"No it's alright."

"No, I have to make it up to you."

"Well I know how you can."

She raised an eyebrow.

"How?"

He smirked.

"If you join me for dinner tomorrow night."

She smiled.

"Okay. Tomorrow night."

He handed her the ball back.

"Now make sure you don't hit any other incredibly hot guys on the beach."

She giggled.

"Well that won't be happening since you are the only incredibly hot guy on the beach."

She walked away. Nate looked as she walked. Damn, there was something special about her. He walked back to where he and his friends were sitting. Eric and Kyle had come back. So had Dan. Everyone had an ice cream in her hands. Chuck's arm was around Blair's. Serena and Dan were talking but it was obvious the conversation was for lovers only. Eric and Kyle were in a conversation about favourite football players. Nate just sat down and enjoyed his ice cream. They spent a few more hours on the beach until the sun started to set. They went back onto the ship. Everyone was happy with their memories on the beach. The captain instructed everyone that they had half an hour to get on the ship. Sharon, Jenny and Carter were making there way onto the ship. The whole day they had spent in a nearby small town. Sharon and Jenny did a lot of shopping and even managed to be on speaking terms. They took the elevator to their floor and put their stuff away. They decided to go back onto the deck. They saw the Upper East Side royalty sitting a couple meters away. They ignored them. They went to go lean on the railings. They looked out at the ocean. Sharon spoke.

"It's so gorgeous."

Jenny nodded in agreement.

"And we get to look at it for one more week."

Carter couldn't help but think that he would miss Sharon. He could always see Jenny but Sharon was indeed something special for him. Suddenly, Sharon's scarf that she had loosely tied around her neck came flying off of her neck. She gasped.

"My scarf!"

Jenny looked at where it had landed. It was stuck on the side of the boat. I could reach that she thought. She knew if she got it then she and Sharon could be friends again. She started climbing over the railing. Carter looked at her.

"What are you doing Jenny? Are you crazy?"

"I'm getting her scarf."

Sharon spoke next.

"It's not important."

"But I can get it."

Before either of them could speak, Jenny crouched down. She was hanging on to the railing with both hands. She took one hand off and tried to get the scarf. Finally her hand caught it but she felt her hands slipping. Before she could do anything she was falling. Carter and Sharon both screamed.

"Jenny!"

Dan heard from where he was sitting. Why are they screaming about Jenny? he thought. He got up and ran toward them. Everyone else was behind him. He saw Sharon and Carter leaning over the railing. This can't be good he thought. He ran up to the railing.

"Jenny!"

Carter had gone to find a crewmember. It was all happening so fast but inside Dan's head it was going to slow.

"Jenny!"
