AN: Sorry it took so long for me to update! I've been so so busy! Anyway I know the chapter is a bit short, but please review!

It had been a whole week since the incident with Serena, and Blair was becoming frustrated. They were supposed to be best friends and yet they hadn't spoken to each other since the failed apology. On the plus side, Serena's absence in Blair's life meant she was seeing a whole lot more of Chuck. Blair couldn't really understand it.... he was being so.... supportive. It was nice to see Chuck being like this with her for a change, in one way she hoped her and Serena never made up again. But even as Blair thought that, she knew it wasn't true. She sighed heavily.

"Are you still upset about Serena?" Chuck asked, looking at Blair intently. Blair nodded slightly. "Well I've already told you what I think you should do"

"Yeah Blair, why don't you two... I don't know... hug it out or something?" Nate added uncertainly, he didn't take his eyes from the TV screen.

"Hug it out?" Blair replied slowly, a look of disbelief on her face. Chuck sighed.

"You really are stupid aren't you Archibald?" he said bemusedly. Nate looked at him with a confused expression; his eyebrows knitted together. After a while he gave up and resumed watching TV.

"Look Blair, you're all invited to dinner at Lily's tonight, why don't you just try and talk with Serena then? You two will be able to sort things out, you always do." Chuck suggested. Blair nodded and with a quick goodbye to the two boys, she left the apartment, ready to head home.

That night, as soon as Blair arrived at the Vanderwoodsen's she rushed upstairs and knocked gently on Serena's door. When Serena opened it and saw Blair she slammed it shut, leaving Blair slightly stunned. Chuck who had watched this from the hallway, grabbed Blair's hand and whispered to her to be calm but he had a feeling it was too late. Way too late. The damage had been done.

"Seriously Waldorf, I mean it. She's just angry, don't react, and just wait"

"Oh don't worry Chuck. I have everything under control" she replied, a tight smile on her face.

"Maybe you should try being nice to her" Chuck reasoned.

"I tried being 'nice' before, it didn't agree with me" she replied pushing past him, and sitting down at the table.

Everyone sat down for dinner. Unfortunately Serena had been placed opposite Blair, and the two had been glaring at each other for the better part of the first course. By dessert they had completely abandoned all formalities and were giving each other dirty looks and making snide comments, making everyone at the table feel slightly uncomfortable.

"Another cake S? You know they say 'you are what you eat'" Blair said, her voice practically dripping with sarcasm, a fake smile on her face.

"In that case can someone pass Blair the bowl of bitch please?" Serena asked coolly. Blair gasped and Chuck could tell that Blair was offended; he could also tell that Blair was not going to let that comment slide, and she would get Serena back. Chuck's prediction proved right when Dorota brought out a bottle of wine to refill the glasses.

"Oh Dorota, I'll do that" Blair offered, grabbing the bottle so forcefully that the wine happened to spill all over Serena's expensive white dress. "Oh my god S, I am SO sorry" she exclaimed, smirking. Lily shook her head slightly.

"Come on Serena, I'll help you clean up. Try and be more careful next time Blair" she said, her eyes flicking between the two girls. While they went upstairs, Chuck went to speak to Blair. As much as he was enjoying this little show they were putting on, he knew Blair would regret it in the near future and he didn't want her to.

"What on earth did you do that for?"

"Well I took your advice and was patiently waiting for the Universe to bestow some justice and do something really bad to her but unfortunately the Universe was taking too long. I decided that the effect of pouring my drink down her expensive dress was much more instantaneous and therefore more effective." Blair replied in a rush. Chuck smirked at her response.

"You should apologise Waldorf, before you lose her forever. Neither of you want that" Chuck told her softly. Blair looked at him carefully.

"Why are you being so nice to me? Why are you taking such an interest?" she asked him seriously.

"Because I care about you Waldorf. Now go" he said, pushing her gently. Blair smiled at him, before heading towards Serena's room. She knocked and this time when Serena opened it, she didn't slam it again.

"I'm sorry Serena. I'm sorry for spilling the wine on your dress. I'm sorry for being bitchy and i'm sorry for not caring more about you and Dan. I suppose I wasn't being a very good friend. I don't want us to not talk, you're my best friend S and I love you. I hope you forgive me" Blair flinched slightly at Dan's name and Serena could tell she was uncomfortable.

"Thank you for apologising to me Blair, I know that probably wasn't easy for you" The girls laughed. "I love you too B and of course I forgive you! Even if you completely ruined my dress" she wrapped her arms around Blair and they hugged.

"I am sorry about the dress" Blair muttered. Serena smiled.

"Come on, we better join the guests" she replied, grabbing Blair's hand. When Chuck saw the two friends laughing and talking together he smiled, glad to see Blair happy again. She hadn't been like that for days. Blair caught his eye from across the room and her smile widened. Chuck felt a little flip in his stomach. Butterflies again.

"Thank you" Blair mouthed to him.

"You're welcome" he mouthed back. He would do anything for Blair. And he was starting to think that she knew it.
