Disclaimer: I only own Darcy.

Thank You Chuck Bass

Darcy stood in Nate's dorm room helping him pack up his stuff to move into Chuck's.

"You do realize that you barely have anything here" she joked.

"That's because I spend every minute at your place."

"So you and Bass living together. Are you sure you're ready for that next step?"

"I think our relationship with handle it well" he said going along with her joke "I think it will be fun."

"Like a party every night?"

"Not every night, I do have my girl I have to see" he said wrapping his arms around her and resting his forehead against hers.

"Good answer" she replied and kissed him. She pulled away and began packing again. "So you two are doing that Lost Weekend thing right?"

"It really isn't a lost weekend more of a guy's weekend. Booze and possibly a stripper. It will be innocent"

"I trust you" she replied.

"And how will Darcy Ellis be spending her evening?"

"Lily asked if I could help with cotillion"

"What did you say?"

"I know nothing about cotillion" she replied. "While you and Bass are entertaining yourself with booze and half naked ladies I will be going over the books for the hotel"

"Don't you pay people for that?"

"Yeah but I want this to go well for us so I want a hands on job. Plus it's what I'm going to school for."

"That's amazing" he said.

"Let's get you moved into my hotel" she said and he picked up the bag and they headed out.

After helping Nate move in she headed downstairs and to their office. She spent some time there and then headed home. She walked in and her Uncle sat at the table.

"Hey" she said walking over.

"How has your day been?" he asked.

"I just got back from the Empire"

"The hotel you part own. That's impressive"

"I enjoy acting and yeah I want to do it for the rest of my life but I also want to run a business. I remember asking Sally at the diner mom and I always went to all these questions about how she ran the place. She'd told mom that she had a little business women in me"

"I'm very proud of you"

"Thanks." She smiled. "Anyways, I've spent all day helping Nate pack and then the books and now I'm beat"

"What are you doing tomorrow?"

"Cotillion"

"Again?"

"Um no not mine. I told some people that I would go"

"Well, have fun, and good night"

The next morning Darcy arrived at the Empire. Nate greeted her with a kiss.

"Morning." She said "you have vodka breath"

"Sorry" he said.

"You might want to ring house-keeping chocolate leaves a stain" Blair said "toodles"

"Um she seems calm" Darcy said watching her leave.

"I'm taking care of that" Chuck responded

"Good luck"

"What brings you by?"

"Wanted to see how guy's night went"

"It was fun" they both said.

"I see that" she said then leaned up and kissed him "I'll see you both at Cotillion."
"Can I tell you two how happy I am to see you together" Chuck said.

"Anytime you want" Darcy smiled.

"Thanks man" Nate said then turned to Darcy "I will see you tonight"

She leaned up and kissed and then turned to Chuck and kissed his cheek and took off. Later Nate picked her up for Cotillion and they arrived.

"Have I told you that you look beautiful" Nate said whispering in her ear.

"Yes you did"

"Every girl here wishes they were you" he said to her as they ran into Jenny.

"You look amazing J" Darcy said hugging her.

"I try but Darcy Ellis is hard to beat"

"You have definitely done that"

"Oh have you seen Blair?" Nate asked Jenny.

"Um not yet fortunately" Jenny said "I'm looking for my escort Graham Collins. He's uh sort of this years…I guess you"

"Another Nate Archibald!" Darcy said "Snag him"

"I'll take that as a compliment. Have fun tonight. Darc and I will be here cheering you on"

"You guys are the best" Jenny said hugging both of them and walking away.

"Why do you need Blair?" Darcy asked Nate.

"Chuck wanted me to give her something"

"Oh okay" she said then looked around the room and spotted her in a corner practicing dancing with a girl. "Found her"

She grabbed his hand and pulled her over.

"Oh look a lost boy from lost weekend" Blair said.

"Chuck actually sent me to find you here. He has a surprise in the Private Lounge Upstairs" Nate said hand her a note "He says please"

They walked away. Darcy watched all the debutants come down and when Jenny was announced she was humiliated. Darcy turned to Nate.

"I'm pretty sure that wasn't good" she said

"It wasn't."

"Thank you Chuck Bass" she said.

"What?"

"Our Cotillion? Bass stepped in as my escort when I didn't have one. That would have been me without him"

"Thank you Chuck Bass" he responded and she smiled. His phone rang and he answered "Hello…yeah of course"

"What was that?" she asked as he hung up.

"I gotta go" he said "I'm being her Chuck Bass"

"Go save her" she said and kissed him. She watched them on the stage as two people stood behind her.

"Well we found Nate" She heard Serena say and she turned to them.

"You two make up?" she asked.

"Yeah" They said as Jenny approached them.

"Well done Little J. Surprised you allowed that one Darc"

"Well my man is a good guy" she said and he held out his hand.

"Dance?"

"With pleasure" she smiled and grabbed his hand. She looked up at him as they were dancing "Thank you for doing that for Jenny"

"Anytime" he said leaning his forehead against hers.
