Ana shakes Audrey lightly, "AW," she whispers but gets no results. "Audrey," she says louder glancing at Daniella who is lying on the other end of the bed snoring.
Audrey stirs, pulls her eye mask up and sits up, "What Ana?"
"I hear something outside," Ana motions to the balcony.
"We are on the 25th floor so I wouldn't worry. It's probably my brother or a bird."
"Well, I am going to check it out," Ana stands up.
Audrey lifts herself out of and rolls her eyes, "Fine, I'm going with you."
Audrey and Ana slip out of the room quietly, "I really don't understand why this is necessary. It is most likely my brother sneaking out for a smoke," Audrey grumbles.
"I couldn't sleep, so if it is your brother we need to tell him to be quiet," Ana whispers.
Audrey slides open the balcony door, "Gotcha."
CJ Bass jumps, "What the hell," he drops his joint and smashes it quickly with his foot.
Logan Baizen laughs, "You just got spooked by your little sister," he takes in Audrey's appearance allowing his eyes to linger on her bare legs.
Audrey rolls her eyes, "Take a picture, Baizen. It'll last longer," she smirks.
CJ's face wrinkles in disgust, "Stop checking out my sister. Audrey, put some damn clothes on. What are you doing out here?"
Audrey takes a seat on an open chair and motions for Ana to sit next to her, "You scared, Ana."
Ana blushes, "I couldn't sleep. You guys were kind of loud."
"Sorry," CJ shrugs apologetically.
"Well, I did take a long nap this afternoon which I am sure didn't help."
Logan rests his hand on Audrey's shoulder, "You look cold, want my jacket?"
"No, I'm fine."
"Take his jacket, Audrey. Does dad know you dress like that for bed?"
"It's just a nightgown. Mom, bought it for me."
CJ takes out another joint, and rolls it in between his fingers, I'm sure mom doesn't expect for anyone but your girlfriends to see you in it," CJ glances at his friend who is openly leering at his sister, and takes off his jacket. "If you insist on being out here with us, take mine."
Audrey takes his jacket and eyes her brothers hands, "So are you going to share?"
"No way, Audrey. I promised dad I wouldn't get you into any trouble," CJ looks at Logan, "we should go inside."
Logan shrugs, "Your dad is Chuck Bass. He wouldn't care, just give her a hit."
CJ glares at his best friend, "Thanks for the back up," he lights up the joint and passes it to his sister, "if you insist, but if mom or dad find out…"
Audrey takes the joint and inhales, "don't be such a baby," she exhales coughing loudly, and passes it to Ana, "try it."
"What the hell, Audrey. Don't pressure her," CJ snaps.
Ana blushes, "No, I want to try it." Ana takes the joint out of her friend's hand and puts it to her lips hesitantly.
Logan looks at both girls, "I for one am proud to witness the corruption of Constance Billard's finest," Logan reaches out for the joint, and takes it. "Good thing, I like you girls cause gossip girl would eat this up."
CJ holds his hand up, "Shut up," he whispers. "Do you hear that." Logan moves his hand behind his back.
Daniella opens up the sliding glass door, "And why wasn't I invited to the party."
"Great," CJ mutters.
"This night just got interesting," Logan takes his hand out from behind his back and hands the joint to Daniella, "Welcome D."
Audrey giggles, "D, you were right. Pot isn't that bad."
CJ groans, "Great, just what I didn't want to hear."
Logan pulls out flask and takes a quick pull, "Anyone else," he holds the flask out.
Dani reaches for it, "Why not," she takes sip and passes it to Audrey, "It's good AW. Try it."
Audrey puts the flask to her lips, choking down the amber liquid. "If you think that's good, you have a problem," she passes it to Ana who shakes her head furiously.
"And you call yourself a Bass." Logan shakes his head, "Daddy would be ashamed."
CJ grabs the flask, "Logan, if my dad finds out that not only have we smoked out these two and are offering them…."
"Hey, what about me, your corrupting me too," Dani pouts.
"Oh, come off of it D. Like you haven't been skipping class to smoke weed with us since 8th grade," CJ passes the flask back to Logan. "Your innocent act doesn't work here."
Logan grabs it out of his hands and shakes it, "It's almost empty. Where is your dad's stash?"
Ana stands up, "I should go back to bed."
Audrey pulls her friend down, "No, stay with us."
"No, it's cold and late and we have school tomorrow. I promised your mom I'd go."
CJ stands up, "Ana's right. We should get to bed. All of us and you," he stares at Logan, "should go home. We are pushing are luck, if Dorota was here we would have been busted 10 minutes ago."
Audrey turns to Logan, "Are you going home?"
"That depends, what are you up for?"
"Do you have your limo?"
CJ throws his hands up in the air with frustration, "Seriously, Audrey. We got a huge pass for that party. You want to risk it? You aren't going anywhere with Logan," CJ seeks out silent confirmation from his best friend, "we are all going to bed."
"Since when did you become so responsible? I barely recognize you big brother. You are putting your name to shame," Audrey stands up.
Logan shrugs, "don't worry, Bass. We can play this weekend," he turns around and heads toward the door. "Damn."
Audrey and CJ shoot Logan a look of confusion, "What?"
"You're dad, is right behind the door."
The group turns around quickly, finding Chuck Bass glaring at them.
"This is all your fault, Audrey," CJ mutters, opening up the door, "Hey dad," he says calmly
Chuck shakes his head surveying the scene, "Go to bed," his eyes fall on his daughter, "Audrey Waldorf Bass, what the hell are you wearing?"
"It's just a nightgown, dad. Mom got it for me."
"The hell she did, you four need to go to bed. I'll escort Logan out myself."
zoxoxo
Audrey quietly walks into the kitchen and grabs a muffin from the table.
Chuck looks up from his newspapers, "Audrey."
"Running late, dad."
"Audrey Bass, stop right there."
Audrey turns around, avoiding eye contact with her father.
"The events of last night will not occur in this home again. Is that a correct assumption?"
Audrey nods, "Yes, dad."
"Then I see no reason to tell your mother."
Audrey exhales, relieved but realizes while she may be off the hook her brother may have to take the blame. "Dad, it wasn't CJ's fault. Don't be mad at him."
"I know" Chuck shakes his head, "You are a Bass, and unfortunately there is a penchant for trouble which goes with that name."
"So you don't care?"
" You'll always be my little girl but I am not deluded to think you won't experiment. What is the point in punishing the inevitable and upsetting your mother?"
"What does that mean?"
"It means don't get arrested, pregnant, or experience any other consequences which will make it difficult for us to keep these indiscretions from your mother." Chuck takes a sip of his espresso. "I trust you to do the right thing but please remember your reputation is something that will follow you and your mother would be very upset if you tarnished it, as would I."
Dani walks into the kitchen and smiles brightly, "Good morning, Uncle Chuck," she swoops down and kisses him on the cheek, "are we reading about how well Bass Industries did in the market yesterday?"
Audrey rolls her eyes, "I'm not in trouble, D."
Daniella smiles, "What would you be in trouble for? Can't a girl compliment her favorite Uncle because she loves him for being so reasonable."
"I may be a lot of things, reasonable isn't one of them," Chuck stands up, "Lily has invited all of us for dinner tonight. Please meet us at her Penthouse at 8 and please inform your brother. "
Audrey nods, "Yes, dad," she watches her father leave the room before turning to Dani and whacking her on the back of the head, "Smooth, D."
Dani laughs, "Just trying to give you some assistance my dear. Your dad really didn't attempt to punish you at all."
"Nope, and he's not going to tell mom."
"Why couldn't I have had the father that opened a club in high school, had sex with hotel staff, and smoked pot on a daily basis. You've got it made, Bass. You will never get busted for everything. There's nothing you could do, your dad hasn't and therefore you will never get in trouble. You are so lucky."
"If you say so, but you have totally forgotten my mother is Blair Bass and if she had caught us instead of dad I'd probably be on my way to boarding school." Audrey grabs a muffin and banana and places it in a napkin, "Lets go check in with Ana. We need to leave soon."
xoxox
Logan sneaks up behind Audrey and puts his hands over his eyes, "Surprise, beautiful."
Audrey whips around, "What do you want?"
"Just wanted to check on my favorite brother and sister duo and see how you survived the wrath of Bass last night. Your father pretty much threw me into my limo.
"Actually, we are in the clear so you don't need to worry about us. You can go now."
"You mean they didn't make your cancel your Kiss on the Lips after party."
"Surprisingly, no," Audrey shrugs, "speaking of which, what unlucky girl are you taking?"
"Well, I was thinking I would take you."
"Sorry, I'm going with Anderson. Not that I would go with you even if I didn't already have a date."
"Anderson Conner," Logan leans against Audrey's locker, "I thought you were planning to have fun tomorrow."
"Anderson is fun," Audrey protests.
"Yeah, if you are 80," Logan takes Audrey's hand, "Come on Bass, ditch him and go with me. Don't make me get on one knee."
Audrey drops his hand quickly, "What's with the sudden interest?"
"I have to say you sparked my curiosity last night," Logan leans in and whispers,
" You promised me a game, I'd like to collect."
Audrey pushes his chest, "As if my brother would allow it. I really doubt he would be okay with us going to the party together."
"So you are saying if your brother okays it, then you would go with me?"
"I didn't say that at all," Audrey protests, "Just leave it alone. I'm going with Anderson."
"I wonder what my sister would say when she hears you turned me down."
"What do you mean?"
" I'd hate for you to fall out of favor with Samantha because you turned me down," Logan shrugs, "I know it's important for you to keep that Waldorf legacy going."
"You're seriously blackmailing me," Audrey glares at Logan.
"Looks that way huh," Logan reaches into Audrey's purse and pulls out her phone. "Text Anderson and tell him to go with Valeria. While you are at it, why don't you tip gossip girl," he hands her the phone, "I'll be eagerly awaiting the blast."
"I hate you."
"That's what makes it even more fun. I'll pick you up tomorrow at 8. I can't wait to see your dress."
Xoxoxo
The dance hasn't even started yet and already someone is trading partners. AWB just made a daring move. A Bass dating a Baizen. Wonder what daddy will say?
Audrey throws her phone in her purse, "That bitch," she grumbles as she turns away from all of the stares and whispers in the hallway.
Daniella approaches her friend, with her phone in hand, "Is this true?"
Audrey rolls her eyes, "unfortunately."
"Do you like Logan?"
"No."
"Well, you were flirting with him last night, so I just kind of wondered."
"I wasn't flirting. I was high."
"Being high doesn't make you flirt, darling," Dani grins, "You do like him don't you? That is the only explanation."
"No, it isn't. Logan asked me out and when I told him no, he said if I didn't go he would tell his sister. I had no choice. I can't lose my place with S."
Dani raises an eyebrow, "So he is making you go with him."
"Yes, isn't that what I just said."
"But nobody makes Audrey Bass do anything," Dani grins wickedly, "Logan really isn't that bad. He is loyal, fun, and if he wasn't practically my step-brother I'd admit that he's pretty hot. This could be a good thing."
"No, it's not. Anderson Connor is what was good for me and now I'll be lucky if he ever talks to me again."
Dani puts her arm around her best friend, "It'll be okay, A. Anderson is leaving for Yale next year anyway."
"Exactly, I would have been dating a Yale student."
Dani rolls her eyes, "College guys don't date girls in high school unless there is something wrong with them. Come on, lets get out of here. It's Friday, we have some time to have fun before we have to go my grandmothers tonight."
Xoxoxox
CJ walks up to his best friend who is leaning against his Limo, "What the hell. Why are you taking my sister to Kiss on the Lips."
Logan shrugs, "I needed a date."
"With my littler sister," CJ snaps.
"You are making a scene, CJ," Logan motions for his friend to enter the limo.
"If you do anything to hurt her, you know that risks our friendship."
"I don't plan on hurting her. It is one party, one night."
"One night is enough," CJ stares at his friend, "You need to promise me you will be on your best behavior."
Logan puts up his hand, "scouts honor."
"You were never a scout."
"Neither were you. Look, CJ. You know your friendship is important to me. I wouldn't risk it."
"Then why are you?"
"I'm not. I am slightly offended that you think I am incapable of dating a girl without hurting them."
"Well, you better prove me wrong because if you don't you know my father will kill you slowly."
