A/N: So here is you guys another chapter. I hope you like this one. It is definitely one of my favorites.

Disclaimer: I only own Darcy, that is all.

Soulmates and Alias

Darcy walked into the kitchen spotting her Uncle Keith at the table.

"Morning Keith" she said grabbing a banana off the counter.

"You're in a hurry"

"I'm walking to school with some friends"

"Nate?"

"Actually no. He and his girlfriend got back together and she doesn't like me so I haven't seen much of him."

"Oh"

"Yeah. I'll live though"

"Dinner tonight?"

"Yeah"

"Have a good day Darc"

She walked out the door and headed down to the lobby.

"Hey"

"Hey D, still waiting on Eric"

"And they say girls are bad" Darcy joked.

"I had to run an errand this morning."

"Oh"

"But yeah they do say that" Serena laughed.

Eric met up with them and they headed to school. Half way there the phones buzzed and Eric checked his. Darcy knew it was Gossip Girl but she hardly paid attention to it.

"Is there something you need to tell me?" Eric asked

"Is it that obvious" Serena asked "Yes actually that hair color is all wrong for you."

"That's funny. This isn't" he replied and then showed them the phone.

"Whoa" Darcy said "Is it true?"

"No its not" Serena said taking the phone.

"Explain" Eric said.

"It's for a friend" Serena replied. Darcy stopped and the two followed. "You okay D"

"Yeah" Darcy responded.

The rest of the walk was silent. As they arrived at the school she separated from them and went on the search for Chuck. Instead though she ran into Nate and Jenny.

"I gotta go. Hey D, bye D. Nate" Jenny said then ran away.

"What's with her?"

"She's late meeting Blair"

"I thought that was over?" Darcy said confused.

"I guess when I punched Carter and her dress got ruined Jenny fixed it."

"The punching of Carter. Yes I remember that"

"So we haven't hung out much since Blair and I got back together"

"Well your girlfriend hates me"

"She doesn't hate you"

"I beg to differ" Darcy said "Oh my uncle is in town, he says hello"

"How long?"

"I think a few days."

"I will have to stop by tonight"

"We're having dinner in the Palace restaurant so yeah stop by"

"I'll be there. I see Blair so I'll see you later if not tonight. What time?"

"7pm" Darcy said with a smile.

She headed to her locker and opened it when she felt someone lean on it.

"Hey Bass" she said then shut it and turned to him.

"They disgust me" he said and she looked over to where he was looking. Nate and Blair kissing.

"You can't blackmail her forever."

"Why exactly aren't you disturbed? Crush on Nate"

"I told him how I felt about him and Blair, but it's his choice. I'm not to interrupt his happiness."

"How human of you"

"How not human of you." She said then walked away.

Later that evening she got dressed and headed down to the restaurant. As soon as she got there she spotted Nate and her uncle already seated and talking.

"Hey" she said coming up to them.

"Look who I ran into you didn't tell me he was coming"

"It was a last minute invite."

"So Keith how's work?" Nate asked.

"Pretty good, one of my bands is about to tour Europe"

"That's exciting" Darcy said.

"How are you son? How's your Dad?"

"He's in rehab. He um overdosed on Thanksgiving"

"I'm sorry to hear that. I hope he is getting the help he needs"

"Me too. Other than that though I'm good. My girlfriend and I just got back to together, so that helps."

"That's good." Keith said the looked over at Darcy "You'll tell me if this one gets a boyfriend right"
"Keith!" Darcy shouted getting attention everywhere.

"Don't worry Keith, this one doesn't have a boyfriend yet"

"Nate" she said and he laughed

"I'll keep you posted though"

"Thanks son"

"Hey" Darcy said "I'll date someone if I want"

"I'll make sure he is good enough for her" Nate said smiling at her.

"Is it pick on Darcy night" she asked.

"Its pick on Darcy night every night"

"Har Har" she said.

"What's that" Nate asked her both unaware Keith watching them intensely.

"It's something I do"

"It's cute" he replied and she smiled.

"Thanks"

They ate dinner and kept looking at each other when the other wasn't looking and Keith watched the whole thing.

"Well I am getting old so I will leave you two and head up"

"Good Night Keith" Darcy said.

"Night, and you make sure she gets up there at a decent hour"

"No problem sir."

Keith walked away leaving just leaving the two of them.

"How is it that you can charm the pants off of any adult?" Darcy asked.

"It's a gift."

"Teach me."

"Well first have a best friend that makes you look like a saint"

"I'm screwed then because you are a saint"

"I'm your best friend?"

"Yeah, I mean you are the only one that really accepted me for me and not because I'm Joe Somebody"

"I thought you were Darcy Ellis"

"Yeah, her too" she laughed.

"I should get going, I'm seeing my dad tomorrow"

"Well if you need somebody to go with. I'm here"

"Thanks but Blair going with me"

"You two are definitely creating a new normal"

"Thanks I guess" Nate said standing up.

"You're welcome" she replied and stood up as well and giving Nate a hug "Goodnight Nate"

"Night Darc" he replied pulling away.

The next day Darcy walked out of one of the classrooms. Everyone's phones buzzed. She saw people's faces as they started to whisper. She picked hers up and read,

Looks like the Virgin Queen isn't as pure as she pretends to be. Who's your Daddy B? Baby Daddy that is? Two guys in one week? Talk about doing the nasty or should I say being Nasty

She put her phone away and ran down the hallway to find Nate. This post was a low blow to Blair. She finally found Nate talking to Jenny.

"Nate!" she yelled running toward him

"I have to find Chuck:" He said walking away

"Why?" she asked knowing full aware why he wanted to find Chuck. She started following him.

"He slept with Blair." He said and Darcy stopped as Nate kept walking. Then she followed him again. It was weird him saying that and her already knowing but she wasn't about to tell him that she knew. That would be suicide. They got outside and she watched him punch Chuck.

"Whoa man" Chuck said as Nate pushed him into the limo.

"Did you sleep with her huh? You son of a bitch! I could kill you! What'd you do? Did you get what you wanted like you do with all the other girls?"

"Guys maybe you should…" Darcy said walking over to them.

"Yes Nathaniel" Chuck said interrupting her. "I took what Blair kept throwing at you and you kept throwing back"

"Guys…"

"So you screwing Blair for sport is my fault?" Nate asked.

"Guys seriously!" she shouted and they both turned to her.

"Stay out of this Darcy" Nate yelled.

"It wasn't for sport. She needed somebody and I was there"

"Oh so you care about her?"
"You guys were broken up!"
"What? For how long? A week? And hour?"
"Look I'm sorry alright"

"No Chuck. From now on you stay away from me!" Nate yelled and walked away. Darcy walked over to Chuck.

"You look like you've gotten punch" she said and he glared at her. "Kidding Bass"

"I won't tell him you knew"

"Thanks, but that's not the point. Did you post that?"

"Yeah but I didn't say who the other guy was. Ellis?"
"No I wouldn't do that. It was Jenny"

"I'll see you later I need ice for this"

"Good Luck Bass" she said with a faint smile.

The next day she walked into the courtyard spotting Nate.

"Hey Archibald" she said walking over to him.

"Hey Darc"

"How is everything after yesterday?"

"I lost my best friend and my girlfriend"

"This might not be much but you have me."

"That actually means a lot Darc" he smiled "Oh and you don't need to choose between Chuck and I. I know you two are friends."

Darcy headed up to the roof later that night. She sat down and lit one up. She gazed at the stars thinking about Nate and Austin when she heard the door open and close behind her.

"Want some company?" she heard Chuck say

"Sure" she said and he sat down. She handed over the joint and he took a hit. After a moment of silence she spoke up "Wanna talk about it?"

"No. You?" he replied. How did he know something was on her mind?

"Not really" she replied still shocked at how he knew. They sat there for a while passing the joint back and forth when she decided that she maybe wanted to talk about it. Maybe Chuck Bass would understand. "Do you ever feel like there is one person for you" She asked.

"Like a soulmate?"

"I guess yeah"

"Not sure, never really thought of it. You?"
"Kind of I guess"

"Nate?"

"Not sure but whoever it is I can't wait to meet them"

"He'll be a lucky guy" Chuck commented and Darcy turned to him surprised.

"Thanks" she replied.

"You're a pretty cool girl Darcinda Ellis"

"You're not bad yourself Charles Bass"

"Do you ever think about running away?"

"Yeah"

"What does Darcy Ellis have to run away from?"
"Fame. It's not all what it cracks up to be"

"Oh"
"You wanna run away after what happened?"

"Yeah"

"Well you need an alias. What would your Alias be?"

"Alias?"
"Yeah a fake persona. Someone other than yourself. Like I would be…I would be Carissa. I haven't thought of a last name yet."

"Henry"

"Henry? That's a plain name"

"No one would look for a Henry. Carissa on the other hand pretty obvious."

"Kind of a bullseye. I see what you're thinking" she laughed. "What about Sara? It's plain Jane"

"Better" he said and they both laughed and went on with their conversations each telling each other another good alias names. Darcy was actually starting to think of Chuck as a pretty great friend.
