A/N: Just a quick note the wedding obviously didn't happen or Chuck and Blair would be friendly/happy with each other. Literally this fic basically is from when Georgina is gotten rid of... nothing that happened after that is applicable. Also for the sake of the fic Nate and Chuck have sorted through their issues.
A huge thank you goes out to the three who reviewed!!!! Please review guys... It makes my day! And it takes like five seconds.
Italics are flashbacks!
The Upper East Side has been reignited. Oh yes. But what does this mean? While for starters old rivalries have surfaced again. New feelings have replaced old feelings. Clothes have been coming off. Scandals are forming. Hearts are being broken. Expectations are not being met. In short here's a list of events that happened at Chuck's Bass party that have caused the above mentioned:
1)A kiss
2)A confrontation
3)A fight
4)A stormy exit
Well that's at least my first list that relates to a certain group of people I know we all love hearing about. Let's see if any of you can figure this out before I post the details of each event.
You know you love me.

Gossip Girl
Blair shut her laptop. It was just what she had expected. She knew that what happened last night at Chuck's party was going to become public knowledge in a few hours. For the first time however all of those six people knew about each of the events. Or at least about the events which are relevant to them and affect them. So nothing gossip girl posted would be a shock for them. No it would just be slightly embarrassing and frustrating. Blair stood up and left her room. It was Saturday and she and Serena had made plans to go shopping. Blair knew that after the night they both had, shopping was possibly the best thing for them.
She arrived at the coffee shop she was meeting Serena ten minutes later. She sat down at one of the outside tables, they reminded her of they type of picnic tables you would see in old cartoons. Wooden, rectangular with a red checkered table cloth- this placed reminded her and Serena of happier care free times. Blair was lost in thought when Serena arrived. She sat down opposite Blair and removed the black sun glasses she was wearing- revealing her blood shot eyes.
'Hey.' Serena mumbled bringing Blair out of her thoughts.
'I take it you didn't sleep so well last night.' Serena shook her head. Blair gave her a consoling smile. 'Trust me, this will all sort its self out. Now let's go shopping because we really need the distraction.' They both rose from their chairs. Serena interlinked her arms with Blair's and they headed off.
'B, let's go to a sports shop first,' Serena noticed Blair's confused look and added, 'and buy a bat and then test it out on some people.' Blair laughed.
'Don't tempt me.'
Later that day Blair and Serena saw two people across the street from immediately started walking- they didn't want to be seen by Chuck or Nate. Serena looked down as she walked trying unsuccessfully to block out what had happened last night.
Flashback:
'Serena, don't.' Nate grabbed her arm stopping her from walking over to them. 'You don't want to do that now. Not here.' Nathan tugged her arm a bit. 'Let's go.' Serena stared up at Nate shocked. This was definitely not the reaction she expected from him. She let him lead her out. They stood outside away from the noise away from anyone. Nate stared at Serena.
'Are you ok?' Nate asked Serena.
'Are you ok?' She shot back at him. He looked down.
'Yeah, I am.'
'What?' She asked astounded. None of this made sense. Nate sighed and walked over to her. He grabbed her hands and looked her in the eyes.
'It's different for me.' He watched as Serena's eyes grew bigger.
'How could that possibly be different for you?! Did you see the same thing I did? Nate, why am I out here? I don't get you! Why aren't you angry?' He sighed.
'Relax, Serena. Of course I am angry. But I'm not in this as deeply as you are. So right now I'm here outside with you, to make sure you are ok...' Serena looked up at Nate suddenly aware of the little space there was between them. She shifted forward a bit and took in his expression. She liked being looked at the way Nate was looking at her, like he had just seen snow for the first time. She wanted to kiss him.
But she didn't and he didn't lean in to kiss her. No, he pulled her into a hug.
Serena scolded herself, she had promised herself that she would put what happened into a small box, seal that box and then bury it somewhere far back in her mind. She looked over at Blair who seemed as concerned with her thoughts as she was.
'Blair,' his voice was deadly again, 'I don't want to see you in a situation like that again. I'm taking you home. Let's go.'
'No.' Blair held her ground. Chuck was glaring at her and Blair was glaring right back each determined not to back down.
'I wasn't asking you, Blair if you wanted me to take you home or not. I'm taking you home.' This made something in Blair snap. She took a step closer to Chuck. Her hands clenched into fists. Blair sighed.
'You seem to have forgotten, Chuck who you are dealing with.' She took another step towards him. 'I don't take orders from asses, and I especially don't take orders from you.' She tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear while simultaneously taking another step forward. There was about half a meter of space between them. 'I can look after myself,' She now looked Chuck dead in the eye, 'And I can take my clothes off in front of any one I want to.' Chuck smirked.
'I don't care if you want to take your clothes off, I care that you are drunk and are at my party well this sudden urge has struck you. I'm just trying to protect your golden reputation you've worked so hard on perfecting.' Blair laughed.
'I've slept with you Chuck; I don't think anything can tarnish my reputation as much as that did.' Chuck was silent for awhile after that. He just stared at Blair. He then seemed to gather himself.
'That would have hurt, Blair if you actually meant something to me.' Chuck walked right up to Blair.
'You can leave,' he said to her softly, 'do what you want.' Blair stared up at him. It was generally when they were in positions such as this one- Chuck so close to her, Blair looking up at him- that would have lead to them kissing. But Blair took a step back. She was furious at Chuck.
'Don't try to help me out again.' Is the last thing she said to Chuck before she spun around and walked straight out of the room. She promptly went to find Serena after that.
Blair couldn't believe what they had said to each other last night. They had now made their already unstable, unfriendly relationship now even more toxic even more unstable and even more unfriendly. After what Chuck had said to her, she didn't want to speak to him again- and she was pretty sure he didn't want to speak to her again. She was brought out of her thoughts by her phone going off, indicating that she had a message. She noticed Serena had her phone out too. And that she seemed upset. Blair took her phone out and read the message.
Gossip girl here its time to give some feedback on my list, number one was a kiss. Here goes: the kiss was between none other than lover boy- otherwise known as Serena's van der Woodsen boyfriend or is that ex boyfriend now- and Vanessa a girl I am told is dating Nate Archibald or was. Sources inform me that they were dancing together for awhile when they finally decided to give into their desires and kiss. What's more Serena and Nate were spotted leaving the party after witnessing this scene.
In future if you plan on cheating on your girlfriend or boyfriend doing it on a crowded dance floor is probably not the best way to go… Unless of course, you are trying to get caught. Upper East Side we all know the scandals and pain this is going to cause, so keep your phone's by you because I am sure I will be posting more on this soon enough.
You know you love me.
XOXO

Serena looked at Blair.
'Let's go, Serena.' Blair said. She grabbed her friends hand and they started walking again back to Blair's. They reached her place within minutes and went straight to her room. Blair knew Serena needed to be distracted. She hadn't told Serena what had happened with Chuck before she found her. She began to tell her the story. She was finished with the story when their phones went off again. Another message from gossip girl.
Here's number two of my list: outside of the party Serena was spotted confronting Dan while Nate and Vanessa watched. Does anyone else find it odd that Nate seemingly had nothing to say to Vanessa? This confrontation ultimately leads to number 3. Number 3 comes with an interruption from Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass (who were said to have their own fight earlier that night) with this interruption we have the lead up to number 4 on my list.
Details will be posted sooner than you think.
You know you love me.

Serena shut her phone and threw it onto the bed. She shut her eyes. This frustrated her. She didn't want to remember the fight but she did. She decided it was best to tell Blair everything that had happened up until she came.
Flashback:
Serena was leaning against a car. She was much calmer now. Nate was leaning against the car besides her. She looked up and instinctively her hand grabbed Nate's arm and squeezed. Nate looked at Serena and then at what she was looking at. Dan and Vanessa were walking towards them. They reached them a few seconds later.
'Here you guys are.' Vanessa was first to speak.
'Walk away.' Serena said harshly. Everyone looked at her. Serena shook her head. 'I don't want you two standing here in front of me.'
'Serena, what's wrong?' Dan reached out and took a hold of her hand.
'We saw you kissing.' She said in a dead pan voice. Suddenly she felt tears run down her cheeks. She pulled her hand away. Dan began to mumble.
'It's not what you think… We stopped… it was a mistake.' He looked down.
'You were in a room full of people and you kissed each other! How was that a mistake? Did you think I wouldn't find out?' She looked between Vanessa and Dan. 'Just get out of here before I say something you will regret.' She said pointedly at Dan.
'That's all you have to say?' Dan asked. 'Serena, I love you, you know that. I'm sorry.' Serena scoffed.
'Sorry was enough for Georgina Dan, you know when you basically slept with her. It's not enough for this.' Serena's was trying to stop herself from crying. Nate suddenly looked from Dan to Serena.
'What did you just say?' He asked Serena.
Serena knew the next part would be the fight part of Gossip Girls list.
'Nate, I wouldn't-' Vanessa started but Nate cut her off.
'Did you just say Dan basically slept with Georgina?' Serena looked at him.
'Almost slept with her, he didn't, he just did other stuff with her?' Serena looked at Dan and she broke down. Tears were escaping her eyes uncontrollably. Nate got off from the car he was leaning against.
'Dan, get out of here.'
'Nate, stay out of this.' Dan said.
'No.' And with that he punched Dan who was shocked but recovered himself quickly. Dan then punched Nate. The two continued to beat each other up. Serena yelled for them to stop. Vanessa tried to grab a hold of Nate's arm but couldn't.
Blair had just walked out of the party and had spotted this scene. She ran over to them.
'Serena, what is going on?' Serena didn't say anything tears just rolled down her face. Vanessa was still trying to get them to stop. 'I'm going to get help.' Blair said and walked back into the party quickly. She had left Chuck in that room about half an hour ago. She didn't think he would still be in there but she couldn't see him anywhere else- so she went back to the room. She walked in the room. And there was Chuck with another girl. She stood at the door not quite sure what to do.
'Blair.' Chuck said bringing her out of her trance.
'Nate and Dan are beating each other up outside. We need help stopping it.' She said quickly. Chuck reacted instantly.
'Show me where.' He said. Blair turned and Chuck followed. They walked out the party and then ran over to Nate and Dan who were still fighting. Chuck got there and grabbed Dan's shirt pulling him away from Nate. He then grabbed Dan's arms and held them behind his back, stopping him from trying to throw any other punches.
The next part is what Blair would guess was the stormy exit.
'Calm down!' Chuck yelled. Serena and Vanessa were rooted to where they stood. Blair stepped in front of Dan and Nate preventing Nate from trying to hit Dan again. Nate was touching his lip.
'Blair, move out of the way.' He said.
'No. What is going on?!' She looked at Dan he was bleeding just as much as Nate. Nate moved forward and Dan was trying to shake Chuck off.
'Blair! Be careful.' Chuck yelled. Blair grabbed Nate's arm.
'This is not you! Stop it! Serena is in tears. You are bleeding. Let's just go.' Nate looked at her.
'Fine.'
'Go the limo.' She told Nate. He turned and left. Blair turned to Dan who was fuming.
'Chuck is going to let you go now, you're going to stand here and watch Serena and I leave. Then Vanessa here,' Blair pointed at Vanessa grabbing her attention, 'is going to make sure you get the necessary medical care.' She stepped closer to Dan. 'As it is clear you have some how hurt Serena I suggest you say nothing more to her tonight. Or so help me Dan, I will make sure you regret the day you ever uttered your first word. Let him go.' She added to Chuck. He did. Blair walked over to Serena. She took hold of her arm.
'Come on, S.' Serena stared at Blair and then she nodded.
'I can come with you.' Chuck said to Blair. 'To help you with Nate and Serena.' Blair turned to face him.
'I can manage.' Her voice was cold. She turned back. Wrapped an arm around Serena and began to walk to the limo, a few feet away Nate was waiting for them. Dan, Vanessa and Chuck watched as the three of them walked towards to the limo.
About an hour later Gossip girl had posted a summary of the fight and the exit. She also noted how she was sure a fight had happened between Blair and Chuck- about what the fight was about, she said she was going to make it a point to find that out. She added in how she was sure this was just the start of a troubled times for the six of them.
Blair sighed she was sure she was right.
A/N: Please review!!!
And I know this chapter seemed to be more about Serena and her relationships. But trust me I needed to do this to set out the rest of the story and to set up the Blair and Chuck story line!I dont know when the next update will be. Hopefully soon.
