[ Takes place around season 2 in the summer after the white party. Everything already happened - Lily married Bart Bass, The Humphreys move in, etc.- After all this is my story (: ]

"Thanks for everything Serena."

" Your welcome, Even though it worsened things between me and Dan, it's worth it for you. Maybe things weren't meant to be. " Serena said as she slightly smiled.

" I've learned my lesson. " Nate chucked. He felt fooled.

They laughed and walked in the sand and laughed. They had those conversations that they would usually have.

Serena spotted Blair on her porch steps watching them. " Hey, I gotta go. I'll text you okay?"

She smiled waiting for his response.

He smiled back and nodded.

They hugged and wandered seperate ways.

"Nate Archibald? "

" Just friends, nothing more. "

" I saw that kiss. You guys were so cute, I loved how your faces were all scrunched up and you guys were smiling and your noses touched. He was so hyped before you kissed him. "

" I think it's called acting. " Serena laughed.

" You guys kissed. That was a long kiss. You looked like were gonna swallow him. " Blair joked.

" To be honest, I couldn't stop. " Serena smiled.

" Oh... Does that mean you like him? " Blair said looking at Serena with a happy expression.

" No.. I mean, I don't know. " Serena replied playing with her nails.

" I just broke up with Dan, It's hard for me. Nate is like... My brother. "

" You make out with your brother? " Blair joked.

Serena didn't want to answer. " I'm going back to the hotel. I'll text you later okay? Oh and we're leaving tonight, Chuck's party is tomorrow. " She hugged Blair.

* At The Hotel *

Serena walked into the room. " Where's my mom? "

" I saw gossip girl, you and Nathaniel? Apparently you two already have a fan club. "

" Chuck, I don't have time for this. "

" They're having their last moment walks on the beach. "

" They're? "

" Your mom and Mr. Humphrey. "

Nate walked out from the bathroom.

They just looked at each other and then Serena headed to her room.

She opened her laptop and went on Gossip Girl.

Gossip Girl's latest tweet had a picture of her at Nate lip locking.

' Looks like golden boy found his golden aurora! Could this be our golden couple? '

Serena closed her laptop and packed everything in her suitcase.

* With Nate & Chuck *

" Why are you having a party before going to college if you aren't even going to college? "

" Nathaniel, does that even matter? It's my reason to have a party. Lily won't let me throw a party for no reason. Living under her roof has rules. " Chuck replied as he straightened his tie.

" What is going on between you and Serena? " He added as he turned around to look at Nate.

" I've got to go. I'll see you at your party. " Nate said as he walked out of Chuck's room.

' What's the difference between gossip and scandal? So glad you asked, UES Forever. Anyone can commit a minor indiscretion and generate a day's worth of buzz. But in order for gossip to birth a true scandal, it requires the right person to be in the wrong place. '
