Club Opening

Darcy walked next to Chuck as they walked through their hotel lobby. Blair trailed behind them. Darcy could tell there was still some tension between the two.

"We're 183 on Travelocity" Chuck said to Darcy "Right behind the Holiday Inn LaGuardia"

"Who needs travel sites, with their huddled masses searching the internet late night, trolling for deals?" Blair said behind them. Darcy stopped and turned to her.

"Without those masses we are at less than 20% occupancy for the holidays"

"Well excuse you"

"Bass, we need to open our club"

"Wow I actually agree with her. Once it's open it will be the place to be seen. You'll be so booked you can turn away fanny pack tourist. I was thinking 80's theme"

"Blair!" Darcy said.

"Although shoulder pads can be overwhelming on my delicate figure "Blair continued ignoring Darcy.

"Blair, you need to stop" Darcy said and turned to Chuck then back to Blair.

"I'm helping."

"No you're not. It's a business not a high school party. One that Bass and I are running."

"Blair maybe you should go" Chuck said.

"I thought you forgave me" Blair replied.

"Blair"

"Fine" she said and stormed off. Chuck turned to Darcy.

"You okay?" she asked.

"All of my liquid assets are tied into this and I just want to show that I'm not just Bart Bass's son."

"And I'm not just Olivia Ellis's daughter. I know the feeling Bass and we will succeed"

"Thank you Ellis."

"I'm here."

"Well I have a meeting with the accountant, Care to join"

"I have class soon and I need to call Nate. Like you and Blair were in a bit of a thing."

"Carter Baizen have anything to do with it?"

"You know it" she smiled "See you later Bass"

"Back at ya" he replied then kissed her cheek and they went their separate ways. She got out her phone and called Nate while she hailed a taxi.

"Hey" he said answering.

"Hey" she replied "What are you up too?"

"Introducing Dan to Endless Knights"

"Oh, well skip the second one or at least the first 30 minutes." She said getting into the cab.
"You're in it?"
"A favor to Liv. I'm surprised you didn't know that"

"Hey" he said offended. "So what are you up to?"

"Headed to class."

"And then?"

"Back to the Empire to discuss strategy. We're not doing so well."

"My girl a working women"

"And my man the Olivia Burke 101 professor"

"He was curious I helped"

"You need to say off the blogs"

"I told you that in secrecy"

"Your Secret is safe with me" she laughed.

They hung up and she headed to class. After class she head straight back to the Empire and ran into Chuck.

"Hey partner" she said.

"So I have a plan. I tried calling you but…"

"Phone off for class, I must have forgotten to turn it back on" she replied and did that real quick "Oh look a missed call from Bass"

"My plan?"

"Right. What is it?"

"Well I already called Serena and she's helping."

"That still doesn't give me an idea"

"Prohibition. Halloween"

"For our club opening!" she said excited.

"Yes!"

"That's an amazing idea Bass" she said hugging him. "We have a lot to do then"

"Yes and I told Serena not to involve Blair"

"Sounds like a good plan. What did our accountant say?"

"That we need to do this"

"Let's get on it then" she replied.

The next day Nate and Darcy walked into the club.

"Wow everything looks amazing Darc" Nate said.

"I'm glad everything is up to Code" Chuck said then turned to them "Hey guys"

"Up to Code? Words I wouldn't associate with Chuck Bass"

"It's the dawning of the new age"

"You two did great. I didn't get to see my girl last night" Nate responded.

"I told you I had to be with my other boyfriend" she joked

"Speaking of. I'm surprised Blair isn't here" Nate replied and Chuck looked at Darcy raising an eyebrow. "Are you guys in another fight?"

"Fighting implies time and energy. Both I don't have. It's more of an ongoing detached distrust"

"So we have our liquor licenses yet?" Darcy asked changing the subject.

"Not yet. That's all we have left"

"Do you want me?"

"You go home and get ready I will take care of the rest"

"Bass"

"Chuck is right. You will want to look beautiful. Not that you really need to try you already are."

"Aww. Fine with that line I will be off" she smiled and took off.

They arrived at the club with Serena at the door.

"Are you done screwing people over" Serena said to Nate.

"At least I'm on the list and not working the door" he replied and they walked inside.

"Did that really have to happen?" she asked him as they walked over to the bar.

"Darc."

"Another night. Tonight is mine and Bass's night"

"Alright" he said kissing her forehead.

"Hey Darcy" Horace the bartender said.

"Hey Horace, how's everything so far?"

"Mr. Bass looks like he is on edge"

"I'll talk to him. Can I get a water please?"

"It's your club you can order whatever you want"

"She's a…"

"I'm an Alcoholic" she replied.

"It takes a lot of courage to admit that. You're a brave young lady Miss Ellis. This man and Mr. Bass are very lucky to have you in their lives"

"Thank you Horace that means a lot" she smiled. "I'm gonna go find Bass"

She walked over to Bass.

"Hey, how is everything"

"The license is a fake?"
"What?"

"Jack"

"Of course he did" she faked a smile. "What's the game plan?"

"I already called the cops" he said.

"What?" she asked then thought about it. "I am so glad you're my partner."

"Me too" he replied "Blair is taking care of the paparazzi"

"Blair? Does that mean you've forgiven her?"

"Not yet. You and Nate seem chummy. Everything good there?"

"He clearly did something I just don't want to know"

"We'll figure out our relationship problems later. Now we have a business to save"

"Sounds good Partner" she replied and they separated.

After everyone cleared out Darcy walked in on Blair and Chuck kissing.

"I hate to interrupt" she said and they pulled apart.

"Chuck said you guys are at a 50% higher increase"

"Bass that's fantastic. Calling the police was genius"

"Indeed"

"I'm gonna leave you guys alone. I have my own boyfriend to celebrate with" she said and Chuck hugged her and whispered in her ear.

"If you don't want to know, then don't hold it against him"

She nodded and left finding Nate. They arrived back at her place and went into the bedroom.

"So tonight was fun" he said taking off his fedora.

"Leave it on" she smiled putting it back on him.

"Oh really?"

"It's super sexy" she smiled and he kissed her then picked her up and carried her to the bed.
