I had some ideas on where to take this story so am exploring it as more then a one shot. Please review if you are interested.

Chapter 2:
"So I just can't decide. Spend the holidays with my mom and her new boyfriend here in New York or with my grandparents in Vail," Valeria Sparks glances down at Daniella Van Der Woodsen, "You are so lucky you don't have to deal with these issues, D. "
Daniella Van Der Woodsen glances up from her phone and rolls her eyes, "What do you mean, V?"
"Well life must just be so easy for you, considering your grandmother and grandfather are married," Valeria smirks, "no wonder your parents never got married. It's practically incest. In some states it would be against the law."
Dani blushes and looks down at her phone.
"At least D, knows who her father is. I find it surprising your mom has narrowed it down to two options," Audrey Bass says loudly as she approaches the group with her brother CJ behind her. Audrey snakes her arm through Daniela's and CJ sits closely next to Lauren Van Der Bilt and kisses her lightly on the cheek.
Valeria glares at Audrey, "Heard you were spotted walking to school Bass. Did you father need the limo to bang one of his secretaries?"
Audrey stares at Valeria, her brown eyes piercing her skin, "If you must know, CJ and I are on limo restriction. Our parents found out about our party."
Valeria laughs, "How juvenile. You're parents are actually punishing you because you threw a one of the lamest parties of the year while they were abroad."
Audrey rolls her eyes, "At least our parents care that we threw a party, unlike your drunk of a mother and your 5th stepfather," Audrey quickly glances at Samantha Baizen who is sitting at the top of the steps, "Too bad you thought our party was lame because I'm hosting a kiss on the lips after party. I guess that means you won't be in attendance."
"Come off of it, AW. Sophomores never throw the after parties," Valeria spits out staring at Samantha for confirmation.
"Oh really," Audrey raises an eyebrow at her rival, "even if it is in my father's penthouse at the Empire?"
"I'll allow it," Samantha Baizen remarks looking up for her phone, "No one else has come up with a better idea." Samantha looks down at Valeria, "I'm hungry. Valeria, would you be a dear and go get me a yogurt."
"But, classes start in 10 minutes. You won't have time to eat it," Valeria stammers.
"Well to be honest. I wanted to talk to the rest of the girls about their dates for kiss on the lips. I know you don't have one yet and didn't want you to feel left out, V," she motions for her to leave, "and when you come back please make sure to wash your face and your hands. Your perfume is giving me a headache," Samantha turns her back to Valeria.
Audrey breathes in trying to suppress a giggle and squeezes her best friend's shoulder.
CJ rolls his eyes, "You guys are such bitches," CJ stands up and kisses Lauren on the cheek, "I'll see you at lunch, baby."

CJ walks down the hallways of Constance quickly spotting his father's best friend's daughter dropping her books, "Ana," he picks up her book, "are you okay?"
Ana giggles, "just a little clumsy. Thanks CJ," she grabs the book out of his hands only to drop it again.
Cj eyes Ana closely, "Ana, are you drunk?"
"Why what do you mean?"
"I mean you smell like Dom."
"Well maybe I had an un pequito amount of champagne with my orange juice this morning," Ana says loudly.
"You mean a little amount of orange juice with your champagne," CJ remarks. "Ana you have to get out of here. Head Mistress Queller will have your head and your father will be livid."
"I'm fine CJ," Ana stammers, brushing herself beside him.
CJ grabs Ana, "No you aren't. I'm going to take you to my house to sleep it off. It's better you skip school then get caught drunk on school grounds."

Blair Bass smiles at her best friend and clinks their champagne flutes, "Today was fanstastic. I really needed this."
"Me too, B," Serena smiles. "How did it go with the children yesterday. Did you and Chuck bring the hammer down?"
"I tried to ground them, but Chuck made me realize how ridiculous that was so we settled with restricting them from the limo and Dorota," Blair takes another sip of her mimosa, "Did you speak with Dani about it at all?"
"I tried but she threw the gossip girl posts at me and I realized I had no leverage. She spent the night at her father's last night so I figured there was so reason to push it any further and get Dan involved. He's so strict with her as it is."
Blair rolls her eyes, "Good old judgemental Dan" Blair smirks, "I haven't seen him in a few weeks. How is he doing?"
Serena shrugs, "I wouldn't know. To be honest,we only discuss Dani. When we try to talk about anything else it gets messy especially with the whole Jenny and Nate seperation. He refuses to see any side other than his sisters. I have been meaning to ask you. How is Nate doing? I haven't spoken to him since the Jenny left for Los Angeles?"
Blair shakes his head, "Not good, but Audrey tells me Ana had been doing worse," Blair's face falls, "I am sure Nate has no idea. You know how Ana is. She really strives to be perfect."
Serena frowns, "How could Jenny do this to him? I don't get it?"
Blair shrugs, "She always had it in her to be a selfish wench. I warned Nate against her. Now it seems he is stuck raising Ana all by himself."
"Jenny could still come back, Blair."
"Like her mother came back to Rufus? It looks like history is definitely repeating itself as far as Jenny is concerned. As far as my opinion goes, Nate is better off and so is Ana in the long run," Blair finishes off her mimosa and signals the waiter for another one. "Lets talk about something else. How about you and Carter? How is round 5 treating you?"

CJ walks into the Bass penthouse and swears under his breath lightly. He had brought Ana there earlier with the expectation that she would go to sleep. The mess in the foyer showed quite the opposite. "Ana," he yells loudly, picking up articles of clothing everywhere, "Ana get the hell down here."
"CJ," Ana smiles lazily from the couch, "you are back."
"And you are even worse then I left you. I expected your would sleep."
"I tried but your father's scotch called my name."
"And my mother's clothes apparently," CJ picks up his mother's newest Marchesa dress which was cast aside in the corner of the room. He was going to be murdered and thrown into the Hudson. There was no doubt about it.
"I wanted to pretend to be a Bass for the day," Ana slurs as she pulls herself up from the couch, her robe falling off her shoulders revealing one of his mother's negligees under it.
Cj's eyes widen and he rushes up to Ana pulling the robe back on her, "Ana, you need to go upstairs now and change back into your Constance uniform now. I'm sending you home."
"CJ, I can't go home. Can't I stay here," Ana throws her arms around him, "I'm sorry for getting into your mother's closet, please don't make me go home."
"CJ," a voice booms from behind the twosome, "what the hell is going on here."
CJ pushes Ana off of him and turns around, "It isn't want it looks like dad."
"I'm not sure what it looks like," Chuck yells.
"Mr. Bass," Ana stammers, "I'm so sorry. CJ didn't do anything but," Ana slips to the floor and breaks down in tears, "he was just trying to help me."
Chuck rolls his eyes and helps his best friend's daughter to her feet, "CJ, where is Dorota?"
"She has the day off."
Chuck swears under his breath, "CJ, help Ana up to the guest room, get her something to eat, and make sure she gets some sleep and out of your mother's night gown."
CJ nods, takes Ana's arm and leads her up the stairs.
Chuck surveys the room and takes his phone out, "Dorota, I know you have the day off but we are having an issue at the house, I promise to make it worth your while."
Xoxoxo
CJ knocks on his the door to his father's study, "she's asleep."
Chuck looks up, "what exactly was she doing here in the middle of the day when both of you should have been in school and why was she wearing your mother's clothes?"
CJ sits across from his father, "I found her at school drunk before the bell even rang. She was an absolute mess so I figured I should bring her here to sleep it off so she didn't get caught by Queller. I went back to school because I didn't want to miss class and when I came home I found her obliterated. She got into your scotch and mom's closet apparently."
"Apparently. Luckily your mother has so many clothes she probably won't notice a quarter of them are at the cleaners. Your explanation hasn't explained while she was draped over you when I walked in. CJ, you know typically I don't care what or who you do but Ana Archibald. I will not approve of that."
CJ rolls his eyes, "Come on dad. I would never touch her. Ana is practically my sister and besides she is Lauren's cousin. I would never do anything to jeapordize my relationship with Lauren. She was drunk and gave me a hug and that is as far as it went, as far as it would ever go. I would never come on to her, I was just trying to help her out. She is obviously upset about her mom leaving."
Chuck sighs, "she and her father both," Chuck picks up his phone, "Blair, we are having a situation here at the house. Please come home when you get this message. I need you."
